Not having to relearn how to want to stay in and want to still feel all the we love Him and surely unforeseen alza Yeah, Marlena
Miyagi de la Philomel de la who may you blame for the hottie la shadow Allah Allah. Allahu la sharika shadow anna Muhammad and I'm doing well Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa early he was an amateur Sleeman Kathira all that. So we are still dealing with Surat Ibrahim Alayhi Salam. And
we reached Are we done with verse number 20?
Last point on this is Jim Weber was already law he Jamia for kala Botha within Linus tech bottle in Lokomotiva. Mobile Nona and mean other biller Himanshi call ohada and Hola. Hola, Dana come. So we're on Halina jersey, um Savarna Mallanna. He's
again, we said you will find in the sorrows that the context sometimes changes so Allah will be talking about something, then there will be a shift in topic and a shift in the style as well. Sometimes this is called in Bulava and ility fat, LT fat is a change of direction as far as when you turn your face to a different place. And it's also used in language when you change the style when you change the topic any transition in a topic or in the person that you want addressing. So you could be speaking you could be addressing someone directly then you change the speech to addressing someone who's not around this is also called LT fat.
And it's
it's a linguistic type of beauties one of the beauties of language when you change the style.
So here there is a transition where Allah Tala takes the surah to talk about a scene from the hereafter from your male piano. Well, Bella Zhu De La he Jamia
and they have appeared in front of Allah, all of them together, all of them together and we know on the Day of Judgment, people will will be resurrected. And they will be on one landscape, one open piece of land, there will stand in an open piece of land, all of the creation from the time of Adam, till the last man to live on earth. All of them will be resurrected and will be in what we call our basato yo mill piano. The sort of the open landscape of yarmulke Yama, where everyone will stand up. And the Prophet SAW Selim says that people will be resurrected,
uncircumcised naked, with their bare feet, nothing. Just as they were born as the moment they were born
for color Bertha only Latina stackable in canola comida. So the weaker ones or the followers in other verses, it was mentioned Alladhina terbang, the followers, they said to their leaders, they said to their arrogant leaders, the ones who were sort of leading the scene, the one who were shaping the opinion, the public opinion of these people, and thus the weaker ones followed them.
They said to them, that we were some of your followers, we just followed you. And now we are all in this dilemma. Now we have realized that we have made the wrong choices, we have gone against Allah subhanaw taala and now we are facing the hereafter.
So are you going to help us or you're going to avail us? Are you going to benefit us in any shape or form? Hello and to Magalona Anna? mean other bIllahi min che Are you going to reduce the punishment of Allah? Are you going to take away some of it? Are you going to intercede and do anything for us? Because we will just follow us we just followed you. You were the initiators you were the guides. They would say to them, Allah and Allah Houda Dana come again. These last mica describes the leaders as stuck bottle. These are the arrogant ones. These are the arrogant ones, and they followed the footsteps of Shavon Shavon. When Allah Subhan, Allah commanded the angels, and Chiclana was in their
company, Allah commanded them to prostrate themselves before Adam, the angels frustrated themselves they made sujood but a bliss, bliss refused to play in bliss refused. And then when Allah Subhana Allah questioned him about it, and Allah Subhanallah cursed him out of his mercy because of his arrogance and because of his disobedience.
He said to Allah Habima await any Oh ALLAH because you lead me astray. la orden de la home serata KineMaster creme I shall sit on the straight path
I have theirs that is leading to you in order to take lead them astray. So he blamed Allah for his misguidance he blamed Allah for his own disobedience. Now these people are playing the same game. The leaders among the people of the Hellfire, the ones who are shaping their opinions, Allah who had done Allah who had the NACA, they said, Had Allah guided us we would have guided you, you would have gone with us into guidance. So it's it's all with Allah subhanaw taala somehow still this kind of blame this kind of negative attitude, you can find it it's still there, Allah and Allah who had come out Allah guided us, you would have been guided with us. So it wasn't our fault basically, it's just
Allah did not guide us.
You can this is a this they're hinting to this. They are hinting to this. Hello had done Hola. Hola Dana coming again, here. They're trying to run away from taking responsibility that we have led you astray? And is what Allah says about these people with a million dollar home. What if all and math bother him, they should carry their own burden and the burden of others that they have led astray. They have let other people astray. So they will also this is why the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says when suddenly if Islam is sooner than hasenhuttl, Canada, Angelou who can allow digital house gentlemen me Debbie, la Yun de su dally coming at him che
whoever does a good sunnah a good trend they started good thing. They are guides for people, people follow them, they will get the reward of doing this sooner or doing this righteous deed or starting this good trend and the reward of the people who would follow their example without reducing the reward of the followers. Woman
Sana Sunette and si can ally Wislawa with Roman army law rehab and the whole
line also Vatican Oza Rahim Sharia and whoever establishes a bad trend and negative thing. And people follow them so they will have their own sin instead of their own action and the sins of the people who follow them.
Sins of the people who follow them Bartolo had done Hola. Hola, Dana. Come sir. Elena Agia. Zina, I'm Savarna mal anonymise. Regardless, whatever you do, whether we are patient with the punishment of Allah or whether we complain, and we feel helpless, and we crumble under this punishment of Allah, we have no escape. We have no escape. So don't blame us. Don't blame yourself, don't blame no one this is not going to help. We are in the punishment together we have to take it. We are we are stuck basically.
So again, you will find this meaning by the way in the Quran.
Often, Allah will mention the debate or the discussion that's going to happen between the people who will end up in the hellfire and sorcery bucket Allah subhanaw taala says if Deborah Alladhina Tobio mean Alladhina Toubro? Well, I will either with a corporate behemoth as well, those who followed the followers, they said now, so they this own or they give up on their leaders, they say we don't want to follow you anymore. Or we made a mistake following you we don't we want to distance ourselves from them, hoping maybe they can get away from that oh, they can
take themselves away from responsibility of making these decisions.
On Lavina, to be about only London
who call Athena to be holding
a little Carta and
it's terrible. It's terrible Alladhina it to be Omen Alladhina turbo, well I will add about a copper has been known as bad. So the undelete is now they said to their followers, we have nothing to do with you. We were not responsible, you made your own choices.
What I will adapt and they saw the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala which is the Hellfire in their own eyes with a couplet Rahimullah smell. So any way or any pathway to being rescued to being saved to safety has been cut away from them has been going away from them. And also another meaning is the connections and the love between them has gone now has been severed, why because it was built on something about this dunya and now they realized that this kind of relationship and love that you had for this person has destroyed you has led you to the hellfire. And this is why a kilo
bomb Yama, Yama embargo, homely Battlin hadoo one inland water clean all the friends all people who love one another all the connections among people, the friendships, the connections, the admiration
followership and so on and so forth. All of these will turn into enmity, except for the love and the connection between the will among the believers. That's the only one. So people will be people of the Hellfire will blame each other will keep blaming each other. There's Wallace Fontana says about them. In Nevada, they happen to have so much Elena.
It is a truth, the kind of argument that's going to happen between the dwellers of the Hellfire. So the followers will will blame the leaders leaders will distance themselves from them, and say, we hold no responsibility you made your decisions. And there's a very important ethical conclusion here that we have. There's an important lesson here, that if you just follow someone doesn't relieve you of the responsibility
doesn't relieve you of the responsibility. Say someone said to me that, that doesn't relieve you of the responsibility, especially with matters of, of religion, with matters of religion, this is why people when they take the religion they have to take from people of Alison Wildomar people who follow the Quran of the the book of Allah subhanaw taala, your authentic son of the prophets of salaam according to the understanding of the companions of the Prophet and that has been handed down from the prophets of Salaam, to the Companions, to the tabby in to Tabby, Tabby, and to the scholars of the Muslim ummah, who are upon this understanding until our times until our times. So you say oh,
this person gave me this fatwa. It's not a big, they are responsible for it. That doesn't work. And you know, they have, like, slang language in the Arabic world. They have some kind of a proverb, they say, how to how broke with Ireland, what law Salem, you know, throw it on the neck of some scholar, give whatever fatwa and you're safe. So he's gonna say you can commit Zina, okay. It's necessity and so on and so forth. We can do this, you can do that. It's haram. And it says, because of the conditions because things any excuse, Allah Segafredo, it's not my problem is your problem. And you will be held accountable for that. Why? Because you just took what yourself desires, and you
took something from someone who's not qualified or even if he's qualified, he made a mistake. And the scholars have spoken about this mistake. I mean, by the way, they're respected scholars, respected scholars, who are upon the truth, but they make mistakes.
When they make mistakes, human beings, the only one who is infallible in that sense is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, as Imam Malik said, Lima, Allah, colonial huddle, McCauley, he while you're in LA, Sahibzada Baba, everyone will get their statements, some of them accepted some of them rejected except for the one who, who's in this grave, the profits loss.
So yes, and that doesn't mean we have a scholar makes a mistake, or two mistakes or 10 mistakes, or we write him off. It doesn't work like this. It doesn't work like this. And doesn't mean if a good scholar made a mistake, or we can follow him on this mistake, if it's been clarified by other scholars that this was a slip. Fine, we still hold that Colin in high esteem, we respect him we learn from him. But with this, this call was made he clarified he made a mistake. So So you are responsible for yourself and the shows as well. Most of humanity they like to, they don't like to investigate. They don't do their homework, specifically in the matters of important issues of the
dean.
In the issue of who do you worship? What do you do with your life?
What do you do with what what are your beliefs? What would you believe in these things, you cannot leave them for anyone, even if you admire that person, if that person has a beautiful personality, very well spoken, very eloquent, having beautiful presence that doesn't give them any credentials. As long as they abide by the book of Allah, the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam with a clear understanding, then you can take what you just like.
So what happens if
And this just shows one of the weaknesses of human beings, we human beings, we can easily fall for the opinion of the group around us, for the masses, for the majority, for the majority. And we've spoken about this previously, that whatever the society believes in and propagates and sort of circulates, it becomes some sort of brainwash and people don't realize it. People don't realize that is that it is happening. So we have to be careful. We have to take time out. Yeah, and here's why the prophets of salaam says that a corner Emera law letter kono ima donburi. Just like a blind follower. In essence, a nurse who has sent them what NSL was, so they people do good you do good if
people do bad you
Do bad not you need to have your own ethical standards that are based on your connection to Allah subhanaw taala that are based on the Quran and the Sunnah in order that you test, whatever is in circulation, but if people just have norms and habits and they just do these things, you have to question that and you see the prophets Allah sent them himself. He was questioning prior to receiving the revelation. He was questioning what his people were doing everyone else was just following
So being aware of this kind of influence is very important
what got a shape on all the ammo in Allaha calm what they'll have they will add to the upper left to come. I want to quote some verses as well towards to the same effect.
And solid Rother last Magana says what is the letterhead June Fe now,
Allah says as they debate, they debate in the hellfire, the dwellers of the Hellfire will be attacked Jonathan now for your own Bertha only lady in a stack bottle so the followers and the weaker ones will say to their leaders and their influences.
who are arrogant stick bottle in canola calm tuber for heading into mono nanana Lieberman inna we were followers your followers are you gonna save us from something some punishment in the Alpha? Call the lady in a stick bottle in Cologne V in Allahabad? How can my banal a but the these arrogant leaders they said to them, we are all in it together. We're all in it together. Allah has made his judgment among His servants.
And he can see you can feel the remorse of the followers. They just put their trust in these leaders and they ended up in the same
and the same in the same health. What kind of shape one will a microbial Emerald in Aloha Docomo they'll have to come back left to come one can Alia lady commensal tan IL and TAO to come. First job Tom Lee Fela, Fela to fill out alimony voluminous and full circle. And it'd be more significant warmer and to be most of the heat in Nika fall to be a shock to mourn him in public in a volume in the home at
shaytaan. When everything becomes clear on the day of judgment, and these people are destined to the Hellfire shaytan will declare he will speak up. And he will say after everything has been issued by Allah subhanaw taala the judgments have been done. People have been given their books
shaitaan would say Allah has promised you the truth.
And I have promised to falsehood. I was lying to you.
I was lying to you.
And I had no authority over you woman occasionally early comments. Oh god, I had no authority. I had no obligation upon you. In Landau to confess that I have too many I merely, I merely invited you and you guys accepted. So basically, don't blame me. You made your own choices. I didn't exert any force on you. I didn't push you. I didn't coerce you to do things, bad things, haram things to disbelieve in Allah and so on and so forth. I didn't do this. I didn't do this. I just incent you, I just
whispered, I just invited you.
And that's it. But you will make your decisions. You made your decisions. You learn the outcome first. Optimally, you have answered my invitation. I just offered you an invitation and you took it a step to me fell out alimony volume one for something don't blame me. blame yourselves. blame yourselves. And the shows that humans have the ability to choose. Allah has given humans the ability to choose you can choose to be to follow the guidance or turn away from it. You can choose to do the right thing or do the wrong thing. You have a choice. Somebody is going to say oh, if Allah has written something is going to come true. This is none of your business. This is Adam and we said
what is written in the Preserved Tablet sila mill rape, you know nothing about it. So don't make any kind of guessing with regards to this, leave it leave it that's that's for Allah subhanaw taala or what you know, you know, the what you have been given is, you have been given a situation you've been given the ability to make choices. I'm going to do this or do that. And you made your choices. Shavon whispered she'd been invited, there was external influence. Regardless, this is part this is part of the test. Ultimately, you can make a choice. You can make a choice. fell out alimony. We're Lumo and for second, don't blame me and blame yourself. Matt And Abby more swiftly come warmer and
Tom the majority, I'm not going to save you. I cannot save you and you cannot save me. At least Shavon is taking responsibility is saying I've done it. I've done it and that's what I'm taking
But these peoples still live in this kind of mental chaos. So, um, I cannot help you, I can save you, I cannot rescue you. You cannot rescue me. That's it in Nika for Toby mashreq, to mourn him in Kabul, I disbelieve in your obedience to Me, I have nothing to do with it. So Don, he dis owns them, he disconnects from them on that day. I've just I just invited you and you made your own choices blame yourselves you fully responsible and that's true. You are fully responsible in the volume in the home and in the evildoers, the ones who have done injustice to themselves and to Allah and to the creation. They will have severe or painful punishment that's the end of the story and the story
in the here after
and you will find that
Shelton actually last month I've talked about this about shape on how he's going to reveal this
key method last month, it says committed his shape, Barney, if colony in Sanic for
Fela maca Allah Allah in nee very oming in niehoff Alana Bellamy, just like the example Allah says the example of the shape on Allah talks about the hypocrites, and how they conspired with some of the Jewish tribes in Medina.
And they told them that we will be with you, we're not going to fight against you. So whatever plans you have, execute them, go ahead with them, and we will side with you. So when the time came for them to side with them, they let them down. These other hypocrites, they let them down. They did not keep their word. So Allah Subhana Allah is saying, they're the example just like shaytan he says to Adam, or to people to humans, disbelief. Disbelief. So when Adam or when son of Adam or human being disbelieved, at the end, Chapin said, I have nothing to do with you. Have nothing to do with you. I fear Allah. I feel the punishment of Allah, you face the consequences of your own actions. And
there's one last ones that it says why Oh, my violin were Isla de. That's the remorse, remorse. Allah says when the oppressors are the evil doers when they bite their hands, they bite on their hands out of what? Remorse regret.
You're all or you're late. And it tomar was when he said Isla, he bites in his hand, in some narrations had mentioned that they would eat their hands. As they bite, they would sort of, you know, destroy the hands as they bite on them.
Yeah, late, late. And he says, he says to him, I insist himself I wish, I wish, I took a path with the prophet or I followed the prophet or the messengers.
So that's how painful that sense of regret is. And you can imagine what it could be. And the problem is, there's no way back. There's no way back in this life, you might go through some kind of consequences, bad consequences for your actions. But you can always start a new chapter, you can always do this in this life. You can always do this as long as you breathe, you can always have a new start with Allah subhanaw taala or with anything in life, with anything Allah, someone for someone like their marriage really reaches a point of crisis, they cannot maintain it anymore. And okay, fine, this, you're done with this marriage, but you can still find another wife and you can
still start a new life. But with the hereafter after death.
There's no way back. That's the issue. And the problem as we spoke, I think it was last time we spoke about eternity you talking about eternity. It's not like you're going to suffer in the Hellfire for 100 years, 1000 years, 10,000 years. Imagine these are astronomical numbers, right? 10,000. But it would be relief for the people of the Hellfire to know that they're going to live only for 10,000 years and then die. It would be a great source of relief. But there's nothing like this. This eternity is not 1000 it's not 10,000 or 100,000 a million, not a billion. It's not a trillion. It's not a zillion, right.
It's not it's going to continue. It's going to continue you will be in this you're stuck and there's no death.
So imagine how the remorse would be
Yet Allah Subhana Allah says in Salaat
Walter Otara it will play for Ireland. Sorry for call later on, and what do we learn? Okay. DVB T Rabina. I'm gonna call them in a minute.
And just a few see them as they are made to stand in front of the Hellfire to see it. We just see it and the problem describes the hellfire, scary,
scary.
Alia some owner and emphysema. The fire has 70,000 handles, places where it could be carried from 70,000 handles
aqueles imam in Sanbona AlFalah your role in Hawaii as
with every handle there is 70,000 Angels to hold this handle
70,000 handles each or straps. And with each handle there is 70,000 Angels and an angel the process described another 100 The angel, the, the size of an angel, and the distance between the lobe of an angel and the tip of their shoulder is it takes a person riding a horse full speed 500 years to cross
where He is older olema the fire of the Hellfire is black dark, there's no light in it. It's dark, the Blaze is dark.
So with that we'll move Lima so that's the so when these people are made to stand in front of the Hellfire well I'll tell I'm looking for and enough aka Lujan eterna toilet straightaway they will say we wish we can go back we wish Allah could tell us send us back
call reality and and what do
we get out of one another for all reality and and what do we learn? Okay. dbrt Rabina so if ALLAH turns us back, which Allah tells us back so we do not disbelieve in the signs and the of Allah and the verses of all the words of Allah subhanho wa Taala when Hakuna made a million and we would be from the believers
that Allah subhanaw taala says
berbeda Allahumma Khanna your full name and Kabul. Allah says what they've been hiding or what they had been hiding before had is now or was is being is being clear to them now. Now they could see it because they can see everything now there's no hiding there's no lying even to themselves. They see it.
Bella Houma, California macabre Walla Walla, doo, doo, and even if we send them back, they should Vishal go back to the old ways.
Even after seeing the Hellfire even after seeing the hellfire,
even after seeing the hellfire, they will go back to the old ways still.
Then Allah subhanaw taala compares that end to the end of the believers were Odfjell Alladhina ermine, where Amiel of Saudi heritage and Nat integer in entirety hell and how Holly Dean fee hubby in Europe behaved yet to whom he has
and the ones who have believed those who have believed and done righteous deeds,
they would be entered into the only allowed and admitted into gardens in paradise, treachery, mentality hell, and how beneath which rivers flow and we talked about this previously, that it's a miracle from Allah subhanaw taala Harley de Nephi they're gonna live there forever.
They will live in paradise for forever, no fear of death, as well last month, and a similar example says when he talks about
people in paradise, this is now your own if you had remote law your own if he had, like a normal cattle ruler, or
they will never taste death after the first time. You're going to live there forever. Imagine, you don't feel anything you know, when you will have an enjoyment to have a nice time you always anticipate is going to come to an end, something bad is going to come in this chapter will be over and something else will start. So you have to deal with something else. But then you don't have this concern. You don't have this fear. You know, Imam lopi Rahim Allah. He says this life here this dunya life, it has the good and the bad with it the truth and falsehood with it, the pain and the ease with it at the same time, the mixed that's the nature of this life,
on the Day of Judgment, on the day of judgment that there will be a full complete separation between good and evil, between pleasure and pain. So in the hellfire, there'll be absolute pain, no, no form of pleasure. And in paradise, there will be no pain whatsoever. full complete, ultimate pleasure. It doesn't feed, it doesn't even pay you don't even get used to it. You know, when you get something new and it's good. You're gonna enjoy it for a couple of days, a couple of weeks, then you get used to it. And your human nature starts to say what's next? What's next right? Like when you drink something for the first time or you eat something it's really beautiful, some beautiful taste. You
see if I get this every day I'll live like I'll I'll be Hi everyday like and enjoy myself every day. But I mean, start consuming it on a daily basis. I get sick of it. Right as I go you will become desensitized in the hereafter and Paradise doesn't. You don't get you don't get that. You never get bored. It's always there's always renewal. There's always
Something new, you'll never get used to things. You never get used to things. I just remembered the first time I tasted organic maple syrup. Like, I will tell you I just lost my mind. I said, Wow, what is this, this tastes come from.
So I went and got some, again, organic maple syrup, I got a couple of
bottles, and I'm gonna it's sitting in the fridge.
It doesn't even like I don't feel like even tasting it anymore. We got used to it in the heat in paradise, you don't get used to that anything.
You never get used to anything, there's always something more. And that's the beauty of price, and there's no end to it.
So that's why the people of Paradise will have to dream in Tatiana, and Colleen, if you ever gonna dwell there forever No and no fear. You know, you don't have any concern now. Nothing's gonna hold back your sense of pleasure. Now you can just dwell in it, you can indulge in it without any consent or not consent to her yet to whom he has
their greetings in Paradise is set up.
That shows that we have something of paradise here. We don't appreciate seeing Santa is from paradise. Seeing Santa, you know, sometimes we don't appreciate the little things and these are the things that actually make life worthwhile. And give me in his life small things. Small things these were the prophets of salaam says that Iran nominal model fishy, never undermine the value of any good deed. never undermine the small things sometimes the things that really give life its its depth. So Allah is mentioning by way what we say in Arabic, Mt. Nan, Allah is counting his blessings on these believers in paradise. So Allah is mentioning something attractive about paradise that he
yet home via has another greeting is Salam. Peace, Salam Alikum
because it brings them so much tranquility when they exchange that Salam. Well, why don't we feel it we Muslims, whereas the prophets of salaam says Ulladulla Comala Amarin either for ultimo
to have up to Chile not guide you to something that if you do you shall love one another more.
F Xu Salam Urbina, come spread center, spread the greeting of Salam, Salam Alikum ceremony. Sometimes we do it as a burden, ceremony, ceremony.
But when we say it from our hearts, and that's how worship should be it should come from the heart and then it manifests into into physical action as salam it
should remember this is a Greek the greeting of people of paradise and they would enjoy it would be a source of enjoyment, a source of enjoyment. And look at our last Fantana talks about the audit process and and talks about the people in paradise. You know, we have now we can make this be these days, but we don't appreciate it we system hundreds upon us abundance was I want to finish 33, right?
So you don't realize that engaging in that is a small glimpse into paradise is a small glimpse into paradise. Because the prophets of Islam says about the people in paradise, you will have more access via camera, you will have more than NFS or commercial humbleness, that they will be inspired to say to speak Subhanallah all the time, as you guys breathe.
Do you think about breathing? Do you do it intentionally to say I'm gonna take some air in, inhale?
Then exhale? Do you do it? It's effortless, right? That's how to speak will be for the people who practice just like breathing. Why? Because it brings them peace, tranquility, that's where they live on. That's what they enjoy. That's what that's part and parcel of the great
gifts in paradise. You know something else in paradise.
You know, some of the most, some of the things that ruin life, a word, hearing a bad word.
Hearing a battle hearing and a curse or an insult or some negativity. It ruins your life. It ruins your hearts. It does when you have so we shouldn't own and that's the problem. Sometimes when you talk about paradise, we only talk about physical things. But we'll forget about the mental pleasures that Allah offers the people in paradise just like set them yet on via said Allah subhanaw taala talks about paradise. He says les is my own Fe high level one one at thema they never hear in Paradise, and the idle took any empty kind of word. Why? Because empty word weighs on your heart.
It takes a toll on your heart.
It has a negative impact on the quality of your life.
When we engage in chit chat and there's no benefit in it, we're just killing time. This kills your heart and it brings about sadness into heart and grief and pain. Let's move on if your loved one well at FEMA and no evil word, not if you weren't
there this morning if you had that one. Well that's thema Deelen CERAM
Instead I'm over here is salaam salaam that's where the good words, good words.
Then Allah subhanaw taala
gives a parable here.
And this is from what we call unfashionable on the parables on the Quran.
And I'm telling you Tamaki for a lot of Allahu Methoden Kelly Matunga ye Betten Kashia Jonathan Yeva
a slew Hatha between Faro half is

Imam locally and wrote a big piece on this. And it was taken from one of his books and published as one separately, and it's called should gelato Amen, the tree of faith. And he uses this parable in a very beautiful way in a metaphoric way where he translates every ingredient in every element in it into some of the aspects of Islam. It's such a beautiful endeavor, and he took the idea, the detail and he actually from his teacher immunity me here I'm allowed to add
the basic meaning of the verse
is that Kelly Matangi Allah has given the example of a goodly word Kelim upon jiba, a goodly word which is La, la La, La ilaha illa Kashia gelatin point yerba is like a goodly tree, and the goodly tree is the palm or date tree is the day tree, a slow Hatha habit,
its roots of firm in the ground or follow half is a man's branches, branches are high, a high
tea or cooler, cooler cleaning, be ignorant behind it gives its fruits, every now and then by the permission of your Lord, by the permission of your Lord
wild rebula Who emphatically NASA allow me to the Quran and thus Allah strikes, parables and symbols and examples for people. So they saw they might remember, remember, and we spoke previously about what it means to remember. And we said it has a lot to do with the football. And that what you have in the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of the process awakens what's in your nature, which is your football, it awakens it and it grows it and grows it. So we're going to probably talk a little bit about this now as we're talking about this parable. So Allah says, Don't you see that Allah has stricken the example or the parable of a goodly word as a goodly tree?
So La ilaha illa. Allah is not just a word
is not just a word. It's more like a tree. A tree has roots that are firm in the ground, has roots that are firm in the ground. So there is a foundation for the word La Ilaha illa Allah
and there are branches and the branches hold fruits. That's the example of the word La ilaha illAllah. So the word that Allah has foundations has roots, the first roots and the most important that we have to remember is the footer. The footer of the process, Salam says Kulu Nullah do Allah al Fatah, me Ambassador Allahu anhu, said Al Fatah, Al Islam, ADINA, Islam, Cetera is the religion of Islam. So we are born monotheists Mohiuddin. Humans are born with it. And we, we know Allah and Allah has, we recognize him, we love him, and we seek him that's in our hearts that our this is human. This is the basic human nature. This is how we are we born with this, but people grow out of
it all people are educated out of it, the brain washed out of it, by culture, by education by the surroundings and the environment. So that's the, that's the foundation. That's the original foundation. Now, if this foundation, takes roots, takes root, which is in belief in what the revelation came with what you have in the Quran, where you have an authentic truth about Allah subhanaw taala, about the rights of Allah subhanaw taala about the names and attributes of Allah subhanaw taala your heart believes in it firmly with certainty. That's when the roots or when this seed takes root in your heart, takes roots in your heart. And we mentioned previously that Allah
Subhan Allah in the Quran, you will find the problem in the Sunnah, giving the heart example of what piece of land, soil. The Prophet said, you know, people are just like different pieces of land when the revelation is just like crane, right? So there are fertile soil and there is the arid, dry land that doesn't grow anything, right. So that's the hearts of people. So when the revelation falls on the heart, or was allowed to go into the heart
It makes the seed of footrot flourish and it does it takes roots. So when you have certainty about the truth that's in the Quran, sunnah, now that it has taken roots. So when you say La ilaha illa. That's, that's an expression of the faith in your heart, an expression of the faith and the EMA in your heart. And that's the word, you're into this lamb with this word.
And Leila heilala is not merely a belief in the heart and statement with the tongue, but it's also a way of life actions. This is why a man a man has to have these three things. A man at God built in an hour long Billy son, what am I doing? Bill Alcon that's what I was doing. I believe. That's what a man is, has to have it. These are the, the facets and the aspects of iman belief, certainty in the heart, speech with the tongue let you know Allah and everything that's truth. And that's good, vicar, etc. Quran that you recite, and then actions,
all the acts of goodness from the acts of worship like praying, fasting, hedge, and so on and so forth. to anything you could imagine, like smiling
as a sadaqa, or doing any kind of deed and a physical deed, that's all part of Amen. So that's the example. So ALLAH SubhanA, Allah says,
the example of a godly word, which is that Allah with all this, all these aspects that we spoke about, is like, this firm tree that has got its roots firm in the ground, and its branches are high, and they give fruits and the fruit is sweets. The fruit is with this is why the believer that actions. And that's what you see. First, your actions are that actions are sweet, that goodly
the actions are sweet and goodly.
This is why the prophets Allah talks about the different types of heart
and he says the believer who recites the Quran is like a Trojan. It's like this beautiful fruit It smells nice, and it tastes so nice. And the example of the believer who doesn't recite the Quran, like he believes in Allah but he's negligent of the Quran isn't recited as they are supposed to be Catholic tomorrow. It's like the date. It has no smell. If you try to smell a date, it you're not going to find a smell unless you start sniffing it probably. But when you when you taste it, it's sweet.
That's EMA. That's EMA. That's where the sweetness comes from. So the actions of the righteous person of the believing person, they are sweet, they have good impacts. So people around them benefit people around them feel their ease and their love for Allah subhanaw taala and their concern for people and their sense of Naseeha and so on and so forth.
We're going to move on I'm sorry, the NASA Lomita the Coronavirus, Allah strikes examples and parables and symbols for people so they may remember or they may reflect as well. Well, Matthew Kelly meten Kabita Keisha Jonathan Habiba would you to that mean vocal ugly manda mean Cara, the example of an evil word. And that can be a word of Kufa, essentially anything that goes against a man against belief in Allah subhanaw taala any word of denial to Allah or denial, denial of Allah, or denial of Allah's right to be worshipped alone, or denial of Allah's names and attributes, or denial of any of the rights of Allah subhanaw taala in terms of worship, and obedience,
this is an evil word, any word that to that effect is an evil word. The example of it is just like an evil tree and evil tree is usually a thorny tree that brings no fruits. And it's not even firm in the ground. It's not even firm in the ground, when it's put on, it's pulled it comes comes off a company, you can you can sort of pull it out and root it out. And that's it. And this shows the inherent weakness of evil of evil is what ultimately this is what cultural hacker was called belted in Ebola. Canada hope I'd say the truth has come and evil had to leave why because evil has the sweet nature could easily be swept away is how evil is
and this sort of ties in as with JSON. When he says to the people what we said he says Well Matt Kennedy it common so back to the people of Delphi he says I had no authority over you. I had no control over you I just invited you on you follow it you made your own decisions.
Allah Samantha talks about shaytaan in another place in Nikkei the shape line you can buy for the plotting of Shiva and his life is weak.
is weak Shi Tong works works works but if you look at it, it Shavon really has no authority in the holy so the wholesale ban on Adela Dena Herman a lot of being
methaqualone Shavon has no authority over the people who believe in Allah and they rely on Allah subhanaw taala. He has only authority on people who allow him in. Now, when you allow him in and you say you guide me, you have, you have given up your sense of responsibility, and you have allowed him to control you and lead you.
So again, so evil has no inherent strength of itself, why were evil. And this is why when you look around and you see evil around in the world, don't think it's strong.
Don't think it's strong, it might seem to be strong, but it's not. It's not. Evil is inherently weak. The truth has its own inherent strength. It's designed to be strong, it is designed to be strong. And this might be difficult to fathom, and Swellow if you are so much attuned to social media, and all these news channels, because they are designed to brainwash, so they are designed, there is so much goodness happening in the world, there's so many good things.
But when you keep highlighting the bad things, a gives puts you under the impression or the world is what's happening to the world. It's crumbling, you know, what kind of world we live in.
That's because there's a lot of suspense and all of these negativity, and there is also a hidden agenda behind us. So when you bring people's consciousness to evil, so much, it perpetuates it. Because if you feel threatened, if you feel under threat, you'll be defensive, when you're defensive, you're aggressive, and you're negative. And this makes the other person defensive as well. And more aggressive, and thus it escalates. Thus, it escalates. So the evil has no power. And by the way, subhanAllah, this has practical consequences. Honestly, this has practical consequences a lot. This is why the Scholars usually say a meat will bow to the law, behind me decree, kill evil
by not mentioning it.
Leave evil, usually, if you just don't talk about evil, it will die out on its own. You don't have to engage in it. But people sometimes get it. Oh, you know what he did, he did this. And he did that and you propagate it, you talk about it, you create hype about it, people start talking about it, that person maybe has done something bad and they forgot about it, and they just moved on. When they hear people talking about it, they become defensive, they might go back to it, they might need to prove a point. And it gets worse. Usually a lot of evil once you just let it, it dies out. Now there are evils when there's a lot of effort behind them that you need, they need to be combated. That's
fine. We understand but generally speaking most of evil, or evil, all evil has no strength inherent strength of its own.
Unless there are people who are blowing into it, but for the most part of the evil is just out there. So leave it will die out on its own.
This thing is very important with kids with kids. And this is a this is something that's well known from wise parents. And you can try it out if you have the patience, try it out. And it pays off is when kids do bad things. When kids do bad things, ignore them.
Ignore them, I'm not talking about bad things like
using drugs or drinking alcohol or stealing, or I'm talking about simple things, making mistakes, maybe small lie here and there or something. If you do not, if you just let it go ignore it, it's gonna die on its own.
I mean,
there's enough evidence around, try it out. And if you have enough patience, you're gonna see it. If you ignore bad behaviors, most of them will die out.
But if you pick on them, and you want to fix every mistake, you're going to struggle a lot. And you actually emphasize and it's called negative reinforcement. It is negative reinforcement.
So
evil does not have strength of its own.
If but if you allow it to have strength in your consciousness and your awareness and your attention, you'll actually be giving good energy and power. You'll be empowering it overuse of
so whatever negativity is happening in the world.
There is much more goodness happening in the world much more.
But it's not it doesn't get reported.
And if it gets reported, I'm telling you, you would feel life is so beautiful, but it doesn't and you're not meant to feel like this. There's a lot of parties who don't want this to happen.
Okay, so evil is just like an evil tree and evil word is just like an evil tree. It has no basis has no foundation, even human nature in the sense of a field
but it doesn't have foundation it goes against human nature against the federal and that's the neffs or the self that is
sort of pushed by shape on that is pushed by shape on
its truth and vocal ugly man the hammer color it has no base it has no foundation has no strength it has no stability with a bit hola hola Nina Amman will build probably 30 People hate Indonesia or Philadelphia. We will build Allahu Vali mean with Allahu Masha Allah, Allah gives support. Her law makes the believers firm and stable on the true word, which is in Allah, Allah makes them stable on it. So what keeps us on a man is actually the help of Allah. It's not our own merit. It's not your own intelligence. It's not your own sincerity. It's nothing. What keeps us believers, what guides us to faith in the first place? What keeps us on Amen? What keeps us praying what keeps us turning to
Allah Subhana Allah is Allah subhanaw taala himself. It's not your excellence, it's not your lineage, it's not your nationality. It's not your ethnicity. It's not any kind of personal merit that you have, you're not better than anyone else. That's a gift from Allah subhanaw taala. So, always acknowledge that gift from Allah. And and don't attribute it to yourself. Don't attribute it to yourself. And this is why the people in paradise I would say Alhamdulillah Hilarie hadn't really had one, I couldn't tell you that at the yellow hula and had
people in paradise, I will say, Praise be to Allah hamdulillah who guided us to this. And had it not been for Allah we would not have been guided. If Allah left us to ourselves, we would not be guided. So guidance is from Allah. So don't ever see an excellence for yourself even over others. If you see others sinning, don't ever see yourself in a higher position.
That's a very dangerous place. That's a very dangerous place. And we humans have this proclivity or this tendency to feel this, that.
And this was called by.
The schools have always called an urgent
and urgent that you admire your own actions, admire your good deeds, I have done good things. You see someone,
and even a man will pay me he mentioned if you do something good, and you see someone who's sinning, and it goes through your mind that you are better than that person, then realize that, at that moment, you're not,
you're not
because maybe there's sin of that person has caused them to feel there, that they are not doing enough for the sake of all they have not observed the right of Allah so they have regret and remorse about it. But you are feeling
some sort of some sort of conceit about yourself that you have done something good. And he says, when Allah looks at the hearts, Allah takes, or Allah prefers, Albery monkey says the broken heart
is broken before Allah at Brookings and I recognize his weakness, its weakness.
So Allah keeps the believers firm on the truth in this life and in the hereafter.
So, I mean, it's very likely for us to fall into sin, but Allah Subhan Allah protects us and sometimes we don't even realize it. And at the moment of death, the moment of death, Allah helps the believers to be able to say La Ilaha illa Allah and remain firm upon it, and remain firm upon it.
What Phil earthhero
and, obviously, they're gonna get a different different type of support in the ACA, which is, they will be protected from the punishment from the trials of the grave from the trials on the day of judgment before the account and so on and so forth. Where you'll be Lola who volley mean, and Allah sends the oppressors, the wrongdoers, those who do injustice, Allah says the mystery, Allah has them go astray because Allah leaves them to themselves. Why if I, Allahu my Asha and Allah does what he wants. And we said, when Allah says Allah does what he wants, and doesn't mean it's random, it means it's all bound by his knowledge, his wisdom and his mercy. Everything Allah does, okay, it ties in
his knowledge, his wisdom, His mercy, and his justice
Okay, I'm going to stop here.
Inshallah. That's all so we were reached.
Verse 27. If we have questions, inshallah we'll try to deal with them.
Because I think it's around short, short time now.
That's what this says, But I noticed sunrise is a bit earlier.
Okay, how to improve artists to be just realizing when you make the speech, Allah hears you.
Just keep in mind when you are doing to speak Allah who's you? How do you want Allah to hear your disappear?
Is it so so one last one last one? This one, this one this one? What is it Subhan Allah?
Does it come from your heart
and Allah hears you and Allah is Aware of your state of your heart.
So I think that would be the simplest thing to do is when you say it, put yourself in a state of mind of awareness that Allah subhanaw taala use that is going to reach Allah, how do you want it to us? That's sort of your your simple gift to Allah, how would you like to give to Allah to me?
I think that might help ensure
that helps you bring your heart have a present heart in that moment.
Well
as your
daily
action
plan,
nothing is done.
Let me repeat the question English. What's the difference between these two different versus a last one teller says the weaker ones they followed those who are arrogant, arrogant leaders stackable another verse of last one that says those the followers are the ones who are followed they distance themselves from the followers. So what do you say followers here, when they say weak ones here, there is no difference necessarily any difference is pretty much the same. So the followers are the weaker ones, because people tend to follow those who have power.
So this is why these are weak. And this kind of weakness, it could be weak in their mind could be weak in their knowledge could be weak in their financial state could be weak in the military state and their physical means and resources. The stock the ones who are the leaders are within a stock bottle, they're the ones who have the power. They have the because power makes people arrogant. And it could be military power could be financial power.
Could be any kind of physical power, resources, wealth.
Could be government even could be media, that sort of power. That's some sort of power could be even a boss at work. It could be a father in a family or a mother in a family. It could be the sometimes there are natural leaders in groups among friends. That's some sort of natural power as well. So all of this applies. So Allah is talking about the people in the Hellfire the followers and the ones and their leaders. So Allah could refer to the same group and and that's what Allah does and the Quran refers to the same people in different names to show different aspects of their being

a few
Faline I'm gonna CSA Anna
fishes Yes. Play with now with the the issues
he had this Yes.
And which can call it whatever Bonnin from him, Kevin, Hola. Hola, ma panoramic film in
front of him while over again. Some people have a concern these collars, they follow certain leaders whatever they say they follow since I said they are scholars than I admit they know.
So what I recommend is that
is that you follow the scholars who are very clear and keen on following the Quran and the Sunnah. Yeah. And don't get into politics or problem is that now I spoke about this the issue between Qatar and
And Saudi and Emirates, and everyone has become a political analyst. Everyone has read an article here or report there. Most of what you hear in the media is twists, twists. So we are fed so many lies. So we're not in, we don't even have the data to make a rational simple judgment. So when we don't have access to that, and to this, I would say, rationality is leave it. I'm not in a in a in a position to exert any influence on any of these countries or any of these people. I'm not unlike I'm going to make an analysis. No one is listening to me, right? We're just debating and we're having fights. And we're not even worshiping the last one. Instead of reading Quran making despair, instead
of helping our families, you find a husband is fighting with his wife over adult in Saudi Arabia. Come on. This is none of your business don't get into that. Now scholars have stances scholars are human beings.
They probably have access to knowledge we do not have just like in politics, these leaders have access to knowledge. You and I don't know. They have intelligence. Now, I don't know. I can't judge from the news. These people don't take the knowledge from the news. They have intelligence. They have agencies, they have different sources. So if I don't know, I deal with what I know. Since I acknowledge these are scholars, I'm not going to label them. They follow these leaders, they follow those leaders. That's none of my business. The most important thing is do you meet Allah subhanaw taala. And you don't have a right for anyone against you. You haven't spoken against any one. And
believe me, just get out of this life safe. That's why you need that's when you need people before us have spoken about politics. They want to fix the world want to fix the world, and they wasted their time. This game is much bigger than you and me and everyone. So let's play it safe. play it smart. Make it to Ghana, that's all you need.
Someone who say this weakness believe me this is not weakness. A lot of smart people, they wasted their life and Allah knows where they end up in the in the day of judgment, because they want it to be too smart. And the prophets of salaam told us and the times of Phaeton
in them Baytech stay at home, and they can be ha Sati Behati Emmerich your whole worry about your own safety with Allah subhanaw taala palace. That's it. Abdullah Muhammad Ali Allahu Anhu. When there was some kind of disagreement among the companions, they said, Why don't you side with this? And with that, he said, No, he said, If this fitna happens I'm going to take a sort of wood that doesn't kill anyone
that is in but you are the Abdullah Muhammad. He said,
This is a fitna that Allah has protected our tongues from and Allah and I want Allah to protect our swords from it. I'm not going to get involved in it. Good, common sense. Someone say this is weakness. No, this is proper. This is exactly what you should do as a believer. Save yourself. Don't play Superman or hero believe me.
Okay.
Know,
okay, that's a good question. We have the average Muslim layman. Okay. I asked her a scholar, and he gives me a fit well, how, how does it how did like how does it count that I'm responsible for it?
You are responsible for making and that's the HD head of the one that will make us the head, which scholar to follow. And that's the advice of the elder generations, who is your Imam who is the scholar of our times of the major scholars that you follow and seek advice from, even if you don't have a direct contact with them, you could have it through some students of knowledge that,
you know, help connect you to that person and facilitate his knowledge for you and so on and so forth. So, the most important jihad is who's the man I'm going to follow.
And here it's quite simple. And Imam who was so keen on following the Quran and the Sunnah. And as it very important thing is that they are upon the understanding of the companions of the early generations, that means these people have kept the tradition of the Prophet SAW Salem until today. And these people are known. They could go wrong, maybe some of them could go wrong and some fatwa here and there but that's not a big issue. So as long as you follow this Imam and they give you a fat one, you believe this is a correct photo because you don't have the tools to analyze the Quran and the Sunnah and so on and so forth. Then in this sense, you're okay Inshallah, even if the fat
was wrong, unless like the majority of the scholars of Arizona have pointed out this quote, respected scholar made a mistake in this issue.
Okay, now, you could just leave their opinion there. That would be the most practical and safest approach honestly. Otherwise, you're gonna put yourself in trouble. So I follow this or follow that you will choose from here choose from that without any basis
for valedictorian contract letter and the more you take a scholar from the people who are well known to be upon soon
Not to be qualified to nor to fear Allah subhanaw taala and they just want to share with people what is true as long as you do this to the best of your ability inshallah you should be okay. But P like there are scholars who are no now to make fatawa that are problematic. So now when you see this you have to pull out
okay Shoot man says, I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds in the different types of fear is a fear that gets you to act upon it and there is fear that doesn't get you so actually pawns arrogance
was greater than his fear of Allah.
So got him to do whatever he did.
But on the day of judgment, he's done his job now. So his arrogance is gone. He's taken some people into the hellfire. Now his fear is manifest because even the time has run out. Allah has given him the time until the Day of Judgment. Now when time has come, he's going to wake up to the biggest, like part of his fear will be more manifest than anything else at that moment is gonna see the punishment of Allah Spano time.
Okay, of questions
Yes, yes, this and basically it means
this dude is meant for Allah. But Adam was made the Qibla for it.
That's a statement from some of the scholars, someone who first Syrian, some others of them have a Syrian, they say sujood at different times, takes different meanings. So prior to Islam, there was sujood people could prostrate to some people. And this was just a sign of respect. But in Islam, it has been made decisive that sujood is only for Allah. So in Islam sujood if you prostrate to other than Allah, it's an act of Schick. It's an act of shock.
So this in like in the previous nations, a person would express their gratitude and respect to their parents by making sujood
so
in Islam sudo So was there a real sujood Yes, it was a real suit and was a real suit. But that was not so we can we can say what's the dutiful Allah taking Adam as a Qibla or it was to do it for Adam but it's not so good of worship.
But it was a proposed budget any other questions
it's a quiet
okay, this issue of marine and marine,
I mean, it's different different places. I don't know exactly what the context is that you're talking about. But as long as you follow a scholar to learn from them,
and respect them and you don't give them things they do not deserve like you don't blindly just follow them, they do something that they tell you do something it's a sin and you go about doing it
as long as it's an issue of learning and seeking fit was fine but if it comes to gets to a point where you're completely blind follower of that person, you do whatever they want, and sometimes it has some level of love and connection.
It could get problematic but depends on the context. You just start dedicating that one person
if it's counsel and if it's taking knowledge, if that person is really qualified and they are upon the Sunnah fine
if it's for learning and the person is qualified, no big deal, but if it goes beyond this with other things as I said sometimes love sometimes even feeling this person is a Willie and they have some special powers and so not not absolutely no
other questions?
Well Wirkkala she upon hula mal OBrien Umbro OB GYN Amro here. Allah has done with the hisab
was done with the account so people have received their records
Some people have deceived they receive the decree whether you're going to paradise or going to the hellfire and it also could be in the Hellfire itself because Satan will speak in the Hellfire to these people so it's after the account yes after everyone has seen clearly exactly where they are
yeah
okay no more questions okay
so Allah selfie how Allah took a little
while to kill the moon don't talk to me
I don't know about this I don't know I look it up I see But I I don't remember coming across that there will be silenced forever
it's about the other people of the Hellfire will they be silenced forever? Or will they be able to talk because Allah says Don't talk to me
or you will not be able to talk to me. So as far as I know that to Kelemen they will not be able to talk to all because they will be kept away from a loss penalty.
But will they be silenced forever I haven't come across something like this
know
only the people of the Hellfire they will talk they will speak to Malik they will speak to the angels they will speak to one another but will they be silenced? As I said I don't know how long they will talk for Allahu Allah.
Now
there will be some things they will say they will they will they will talk they will argue they will speak they will scream in the Hellfire
okay if no questions I think the time for Salah or not.
And where you can make your morning the kind of cassava as well sure Allah on prayer to offer what kind of Doha Docomo Harrelson Lawson and Amina Mohammed
