Iftar about 40 minutes 45 minutes before we start, there will be some helpers.

I'm not sure I'm assigned one day in the week I'm not having been told which one yet. But in that

we would cover some Hadith from the 40 Hadith of unknowing and we will choose a hadith that really relate to again how we live life right how we live life because there's a lot in the Hadith of the Prophet SAW Selim a lot of wisdom to live by. Okay, so we reached I think verse number 11 I remember saying to him Allah Tada or the Lahore Turner

Here a lawyer is teaching manners to his believing slaves when they come together in a community gathering. And there is a need to make room for one another, or for newcomers in the gathering. It is good manners to make room for them. And that will not harm anyone who is already sitting in the slightest for his brother will be able to have room without causing any harm to the one who is already there. The reward is of the same nature as the deed to whoever makes room for others Allah will grant him abundance.

And when you are told to rise that is to give up your space in a gathering for some reason, that arise that is Hastin to get up to serve that purpose. Doing these things is a part of knowledge and faith for Allah will raise the people of knowledge and faith in status, according to what he has bestowed upon them of knowledge and faith. And Allah is well aware of all the all that you do, and he will requite each person for his deeds. If they are good, then the outcome will be good, and if they are bad and the outcome will be bad. This verse refers to the virtue of knowledge and tells us that the beauty and outcome thereof is to observe proper etiquette and act in accordance with that

knowledge. Okay, a simple manifestation of Eman is how

Muslims or believers behave in a typical social setting. So people sitting together and

someone else joins them.

They can move around create space, that's tough. That is tough as hell. Right create space for someone who's joining you. And the prophets. I seldom

prohibited a person to give their seat to someone else.

lie ahead, we'll come for you Julissa, her home and you Lisa what I can do?

So there are the prophets of salaam said do not

Give you sit up to your brother, rather create space to move around and create space all of you together. Why? Because yes, respect is good. But when it's overdone,

there are issues with it. So everything is in moderation, everything in moderation. So that's a good etiquette to observe. So do not give up your seat. But if you can create space, go ahead. But again,

some people are very rigid in the way they deal with this, let's say

now we we have these, let's say sofas and stuff like that. And let's say someone an elderly comes into the room. Right, and there is a, there's a comfortable seat where whereas on a sofa, like

single seat, and then there is a sofa where there are already three people, maybe you can squeeze four people comfortably there. But for the let's say, your father walks in and you are a young person, right?

It would be better. In this case, that you take the seat on the sofa, squeeze up with your siblings, maybe right and offer your father, the more comfortable seat. Somebody says Oh, but this is against the Hadith. No, not again, don't be rigid in that sense. Because the prophets of salaam also emphasize the value and the place of the older person, of the older person, the prophets of Salaam, every time like something was offered to a group of people, the Prophet SAW Selim would start usually try to give preference to the person who's older. And he would say Kabir Kimber, always the the elderly are given, you know, their, their space. And these are, again, these are not just random

social etiquettes these are not niceties. This is a reflection of faith. This is a reflection of faith. So we don't we don't we don't need to learn them in independently as if they're not they're not stemming from a good heart. They should be some stemming from a good heart not as social niceties

in comparison, or in opposition to what we have in our modern times, in our modern times. A lot of the good manners are actually social niceties. So that when circumstances get tough, they evaporate. They're no longer there.

Right? Why? Because they are not genuine. They're more of a social lubrication, kind of,

again, when people are comfortable, they will do them. But when they are not comfortable, they don't have the so they are not authentic traits. Whereas in Islam, this is a reflection of faith. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said look at how he connects this to being a believer. Lee semolina Mendham yeldham. Sorry, Alana. We worked at KB, Aruna limina Helcom. He's not among us, not from among us.

The one who does not have mercy on the younger ones,

and have respect for the older ones. And does not give the scholars the right that people have knowledge the right

person says not from us, not from us. That means what the believers does this mean this person is Catholic? No, it just means they have a weak level of Eman. You see the connection between external behavior and internal behavior. But not everyone who observes these

is necessarily a good believer because they could be actually displaying those as a social etiquette. They grew up in an environment that values these as a social etiquette not as an act of faith. And that's the difference. And here you understand the statement that was attributed to an A big character in the in the modern history of Muslims, Muhammad Abdul is considered to be a reformer, right? He was a scholar. But there were some mistakes and some issues with some of his Dawa. But generally speaking, he was a learned person and a good influence when he visited Europe. He's it's attributed to him that he said I saw Islam but didn't see Muslims, meaning I saw Islam in

the way people behaved. But I didn't they were not Muslims. But when I returned to the Muslim lands, I saw Muslims but I didn't see Islam. And many of us quote this, but the reality this is a surface judgment.

This is a surface judgment because once there is conflict of interest, there, this is etiquettes are out of the window.

They are not native. They're not connected to faith. They're just there. When they are nice and when they are useful.

But when

when they when they are not practical for their own reasons.

They throw them out of the window

without second thought, why? Because they are not genuine. That's important to keep in mind.

Why either clean and choose orphaned children choose you like sort of get up and engage in something. So when there is something good like there's a circle of knowledge or there is a cause a good cause to contribute to people are invited to it

says, Allah says, go for it. Go for it.

And the verse seems to be speaking about the context of knowledge and human learning knowledge, knowledge of Islam here and Eman which is again any action that is good

but we'll continue on I'll do bIllahi min ash shaytani R Rajim en un Latina M and we're gonna do tomorrow so we'll have a quick demo but you know you're welcome so that they are comparable look at how often did you do for in Allah?

Here Allah instructs the believers to give charity before conversing privately with his messenger Muhammad, so the longer it was send them by way of disciplining them and teaching them how to venerate and show respect to the messenger. So Allah Hardy was salam. For this veneration is better for the believers and more conducive to purity. In other words, this will enable you to observe good manners and increase you in reward and you will be purified from bad manners such as not showing respect to the messenger so Allah Azza wa sallam, and failing to observe proper etiquette by conversing too much with him for no good reason. If a person is instructed to give charity before

conversing with him, this will distinguish between those who are keen to benefit and learn. So they will not mind giving charity and those who are not keen to learn and have no desire for good. Rather, their only aim is mere chit chat. So they will not so they will stop disturbing the messenger so low and he was. This ruling is applicable to the one who can afford to give charity as for the one who cannot afford to give it Allah did not make things difficult for him.

Rather, he pardoned him and let him off and made and made it permissible for him to converse privately with the messenger, so the longer it will send them without giving charity that he is not able to give. When Allah subhanaw taala saw that the believers were reluctant and found it burdensome to give charity every time they wanted to converse privately with the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he made it easier for them and did not hold them to account the obligation

To give charity before conversing with him was waived, but the obligation of venerating the messengers of Allah while he was alone, and respecting his status remained in effect and was not abrogated, because the requirement of giving charity was introduced for a purpose, and was not an aim in and of itself. Rather the purpose behind it was to observe proper etiquette with the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and show respect to him. Allah subhanaw taala instructed them to adhere to adhere to the main commands that are intended for their own sake and not for not for another purpose, as he said, as you have not done so, as as you have not done so that is, because it

was not easy for you to give charity, and Allah has pardoned you that is he has forgiven you for that, for that then established prayer with all of its essential parts, fulfilling all of his conditions and doing it properly. And give us a care which is an obligation upon your wealth to those who are entitled to it. These two acts of worship are the most important physical and financial acts of worship. Whoever does them in the manner prescribed has fulfilled his duty towards Allah and towards his slaves. Hence, Allah says after that and obey Allah and His Messenger, this is the most comprehensive of commands, that that includes obeying Allah and obey His messenger. So

Allah Allah was set up by complying with their commands, hitting their prohibitions, believing what they have told us, and adhering to the limits set by Allah.

What matters in all of that is sincerity and doing the property. And Allah says, and Allah is well aware of all that you do. Allah subhanaw taala knows their deeds, how they are done, and the intention behind them. So he will requite them according to his knowledge of what was in their hearts.

Okay, so this is a specific ruling that was at the time in Medina, where Allah subhanaw taala made a condition and obligation before a person would have a private conversation with the prophets of the Lord, you so know that they should give sadaqa

they should give sadaqa. Again, don't translate it into modern days, or he has to pay a fee or whether or not gives the charity to a poor person. Why? Because the Prophet SAW Selim was the central figure and a public figure, and how, how much can he handle.

And people sometimes find joy in your speech when they sort of like when they liked you, or they look up to you, they find joy in your speech. So they just want to converse with you. And they start dragging you into issues that would waste your time.

Right? I initially Allahu Anhu was asked about the prophets of Salaam, what caused him to die, eventually,

the she, she said, there's a profound word that she said, she said, help Mr. Hernandez, who was destroyed by interactions with people.

Imagine the demand and the prophets, Allah Salam, everyone wanted to talk to him. Everyone wanted to explain their his own problems or her own problems to him. Everyone wanted to consult him everyone had needs, he was the head of the state, he was dealing with so many things. And the person was always patient and pleasant with the people. And that was overwhelming.

It's like a burnout, an equivalent today but of like the highest intensity of burnout, where a person's health collapses, help on that oneness.

The interactions, the demands of the people overwhelmed him, there were so many.

So Allah subhanaw taala made an obligation for those who want to have a private conversation with the prophets of salaam to pay sadaqa before they come, that was an obligation. And it's mentioned that only alumina with olive made that before the ruling was abrogated. And this is called the NES, NES abrogation, you delete a ruling and you bring another ruling in your ruling. This is a clear example of two verses happening in the same place in the Quran. The subsequent one cancels or abrogates tensor, the previous one last month, and then he says shortly after last one was Alan reveals the second verse. And Allah says, since you found it too much for you or difficult for you

to give sadaqa then Allah forgive you just establish the prayer and pay this occur. And that would be that would that would cover this other call for you that would cover this obligatory soda for you. So the professor didn't say only I've even got to pay this before the ruling was abrogated.

And again, this shows again, some side of dealing with public figures with scholars with

people who again I'm very active in the community as well. Because sometimes you informality you could drag them into your own personal issues, drag them into your sometimes could be insignificant conversations, maybe areas of interest that interest you but they aren't don't interest them. And people have limits and people have you know, certain bandwidth

They can't go beyond it.

So again, these are good etiquettes. To observe to observe. May Allah make it easy for Imams, for example. It's like, it's tough for them. Why? Because they have to be available there. The Indie community, the five daily prayers, or at least most of them, most of the days, like, wherever they turn, someone is catching them, someone is pulling them to the side, right? Someone is willing to decide I have a problem when I talk to you for five minutes, five minutes and five hours. This is how it usually plays out. So again, so.

So, being considered about these things, and about the demands on a person again, it's very, you'd find this sometimes even on social media that sometimes people will send you like a message, Salam Alikum, you don't know them. Salam Alikum, can you say what kind of shape you are? Because you don't respond to sell items? Right? But you get like 20 3050, or those messages? And then you say, if you respond to an E commerce seller, how are you? Like, what do you think I'm just spending my time on social media receiving messages. And

it happens not again, when that happens with many people, sometimes random people. So there are etiquettes, there are etiquettes that shouldn't be observed in public interactions. People who have obligations, people who are busy.

People have high demand, when a lot of the people who work in charity, may Allah make it easy for them. Like I know some of the brothers here who

again, observed the finances and the Sadako. And these occur, like literally sometimes they don't have time for their family, the amount of demands the amount of abuse, when when the person who comes and asked for donations sometimes doesn't get what they asked him for. They literally they looked like one day, one of the brothers was really being

verbally attacked in a very bad way.

So So these these kinds of these kinds of etiquettes again, reflect you know, the

state of faith in the heart. So it's good to be considerate and observant of those you'd find mother's burnout with kids from other has more than you know, her kids are little still two or three the demands is just like she doesn't have time even to think because she's always under so many questions. What is this? What is that? What does this mean? What about this, I need this I want that, right? Like she stone among demands, so many demands.

So it becomes it's a real state of burnout. Because sometimes the person just needs to catch up on life. They just need space, personal space time for themselves, not to do anything. Just peace of mind. No demand, no expectations, no burden. And this would be again an advice for the husbands to you know, help their wives out when it comes to something like this. Be observant of this watch for this when it happens. Because it's it's not a joke. It's not a joke, it's a lot. It is a lot and it really sometimes can be very traumatizing, traumatizing. So this is something again we we need to we need to consider.

hear a lot tells us about the abhorrent situation of the hypocrites who take as allies the disbelieving among disbelievers among the Jews, Christians and others with whom Allah is angry and who have incurred a big share of divine wrath. And he tells us that those hypocrites belong neither to the believers nor to the disbelievers, wavering in between belonging neither to these nor those, they are not believers, either outwardly or inwardly, because inwardly they are with the disbelievers, and they are not with the disbelievers, either outwardly or inwardly, because Outwardly they are with the believers. This is the description that Allah gives them. In fact, they

swear to the opposite of that which is a lie. They swear that they are believers, whilst they know that they are not believers. They're acquittal for these treacherous evil doers and liars is that Allah has prepared a severe punishment for them. The extent and severity of which no one can no

evil indeed is what they have been doing for they they did that which isn't which incurred the Wrath of Allah and bought punishment and curses upon them. They have taken their oats as a cover, that is a as a shield with which to protect themselves from the blame and rebuke of Allah, as messengers of Allah do Salam and believers because of that they have themselves turned away and turned others away from the path of Allah, which is the path that will lead the one who follows it to the gardens of bliss, but whoever turns away from it will have nothing but a path that leads to help. Theirs will be a humiliating punishment because they were too arrogant to believe in Allah and submit to His

revelations, they will be humiliated with an eternal punishment that will not be alleviated for even a short while. And they will not be given respite, neither their wealth nor their children will reveal them at all against Allah. So they will not ward off the punishment from them in the slightest, or bring them any share of reward. They will be inhabitants of the fire, who will remain in it and never emerge from it, and they will abide there and forever. Whoever, like whoever lives his life adhering to something will die in that state. Just as the hypocrites tried to deceive the believers in this world swearing to them that they are believers on the day of resurrection when

Allah raises them all. They will swear to Allah as they swore to the believers thinking that their oath will benefit them, because their disbelief, hypocrisy and false beliefs kept sinking deeper and deeper into their minds, until they were thoroughly deceived by them and thought that they were following something worthwhile, that would bring them reward, but they were lying. And it was well known that the Knower of the unseen and the seen will not be deceived by lies.

What happened to them was the result of the shaytaan gaining control over them, making their deeds fair seeming to them and causing them to forget the remembrance of Allah. For he is the avowed enemy who intended nothing but evil towards them. He only calls his followers so that they may become inhabitants of the raging fire. They are the party of shaytaan Indeed, it is the party of the shaytaan who will be the losers, for they will lose their religious commitment, their worldly interests, their own souls and their families. Okay, so this is a description of a hypocrite, and I think it's obvious but one thing we can take from it as a practical advice, I would say

the the problem

Lying, the consequences of lying, because a person lies. When they lie, they become blinded to the truth. They'll start to lie to themselves. And the lie you tell someone else will revert to you and blind you from the truth. So we will lie to yourself about the reality of things. And this keeps building up and you keep sinking down into the darkness

until the distance between you and the truth is, is big.

And it's very hard to make the way back. This is why the companions of the Allahu Anhu we're always concerned about hypocrisy. Think it was either Ninja Warrior, or Hema, Allah, the greatest of integrity. I think it was him. He said doc to me at Terminus. habia rasool Allah is Allah when he was LM Kulu, whom you have only Falco and NFC I

witnessed or I in my life, I quote 70 I, I met 100 of the combat of the companions of the Prophet SAW Selim, each one of them fears hypocrisy for himself.

With a doubting their Iman, no,

no, but someone who doesn't fear that they might be living in deception, that their self might be deceiving them at any moment in time. And this is why they are always vigilant. They're always careful, they're always on guard when it comes to ShaVonne. And to the deception of themselves, themselves, they never give themselves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to any decision. They always go for the best for what pleases Allah the most. If there is a way there's a dodgy way, or there is a gray way they won't take it. Why? Because this might be your destruction. And sometimes, the lies and deception are more like an downward spiral. Sometimes once you get it started, it's

hard to stop it.

So it's important always to be on guard and not take your image for granted. Always be concerned about it because you're in a you're in a war zone with shape one, and you don't know where she'd been catches you. He usually catches you on the blind side. And you'd wake up most of the time when it's too late when he has built momentum.

So that's why you can't sleep.

This is why one of the principles of Teskey is maintenance.

Maintenance because the moment you stop maintaining your Eman and your faith as the Prophet SAW, Selim said do an amen. Blue become friendly man. Can I wash with Toby? Renew Eman? Maintain a man in your hearts because it does wear off just as the embroidery or the colors on on a garment wear wear out over time.

So maintenance because sometimes people says oh, I've done this. So do I keep? Do I need to keep doing that? Yes, it's non stop. Just like you have a building. If you leave it for a couple of years, you know is the it's gonna it's gonna go downhill when it comes to quality when it comes to maybe weeds growing cracks appearing and issues, you know, and you'd lose value. So you say, Oh, God, that's a lot of maintenance. Everything in life is maintenance. The same with your faith. You have to maintain all the time. You have to maintain your faith, strengthen it all the time. If you're not strengthening your Eman, your Eman is going weaker period.

Like if you leave it it's not there's no moment you leave your Eman and look somewhere else and look back it's going to be the same mostly is going to be less.

So there is this this word Imam Shafi said

there is no standstill in this life. I'm do if you need a domain of loyalty for McKenna hold better. He says a person is either moving forward in their Eman or backward. There is no standstill.

If you are not so do I keep need to keep praying and learning and reading Quran and doing the cut. I've just done that yesterday. You've done that yesterday, today. You need to do more, tomorrow more, and so on and so forth. This is how it goes. So when do I take a break? You take a break, as they said to cover in the grave. Some of the companion said about how to fill a cup

or how to film.

So there's no break.

There's no time because the moment you take break, you're in the middle of a battlefield. Can you take a break? What's going to happen?

You're surrounded by enemies by weapons. You're you're you're you're the target of all of this. So I need to take a break. You're done.

The moment you take a break, you're done. And we're talking about a break. We're not talking about doing something evil and bad

So that's a very important thing to keep in mind. So when you lie when you say a white lie,

it takes you down and blinds you to the truth and you can't tell the truth. You can't tell the truth. That's the problem. And there's this get worse and worse, you start to see evil as good and good as evil.

So you see the people now, you know, who support all the massacres and the oppression and the tyranny that you're seeing and, and some people you know, are supporting it, from the bottom of their heart, why? The life is all deception.

The life is all deception, and they can't see the truth. Now, they got to a point where they can't see the truth. Does that mean oh, they are innocent. They can't see this. No, they are guilty for getting themselves into this place.

They're guilty for where they are now, more than they are on top of being guilty for how they view things now.

Okay, so that's the point we wanted to pull from these verses about hypocrisy. I'll call it shahada in Alladhina Johar doing Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola, Kevin Adaline Khatib. Hola Hola. Overly Benihana. Also the in Allahu Yun Aziz how they were doing what are you doing? What are you doing?

will have the word on the left What are you here for in now Mina surgical COVID as he's a leader you're a digital who shake on your leader.

This is a promise and warning. It is a warning to those who oppose Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by disbelieving and disobeying that they will be defeated and humiliated and their feet will not be good. And it is a promise to those who believe in Him and in His messengers and follow the message that the messenger has brought. And were thus among the party of a loved who will be successful, victory and success will be theirs, and they will prevail in this world and the Hereafter. This is a promise that will not be broken or changed, for it comes from one who is truthful, strong and almighty and nothing He wills is beyond him.

And get a beautiful point we can take from this Allah promises that there will be humiliation for those who oppose Him and His Prophet. And that honor dignity victory will be for the believers.

How come this is what we call an Nasir lamb, which is the general victory for the Ummah not necessarily for individuals.

For the OMA in general there will be moments of weakness, but overall the OMA will be victorious. And in many ways, letters that apply for Tomiyama to very natural health, there will always remain

a number of a number of group from not as group as is in a sect but a group from my ummah.

That will be victorious that will be

upon the truth. Via harina Allah there will be obvious available, apparent and there will be dignified upon the truth. So Allah subhanaw taala promises, because humiliation comes with disobeying Allah subhanaw taala.

So, what about the conditions that we live the circumstances we've been seeing the world circumstances of the world in the last, what?

Two centuries? What's going on?

What's going on? And Allah says in the Quran, well ah Allah, Allah, Allah, caffeine, me Nina sobhita. And Allah will not give power for the disbelievers over the believers. How do we understand this? If you if we are trained in secularism in the modern way thinking which is secularist, and messed up? Obviously, that doesn't make sense. And we Muslims are trying to process the Quran with a non Muslim mindset.

Whereas if we look at it from a man and the man is not knowledge in your head, a man is not an idea. A man is not an idea in your head. Or I know this about Allah. Fine. No, if it's not intimately known to you, if it doesn't shape you, if it doesn't bring light into your heart and changes your worldview. It's not a man, this is an idea. This is a thought. It's called tastic. Right?

It has an imbecile I'm allowed to Allah

commenting on a verse

in the medina tahajjud Angela insulted Allah in the Lavina tahajjud Angela say and aloha mahalo boom Arab behave or the Latin fanatic. Dunya okay, that you can actually move terrain.

Okay, that again is in theory. He says.

For inner home, we're in luck DACA to be him.

When Dr. Cathy hem will be on Wareham ledger to be him a liberal Dean for in Doolittle Massa yet if he would do him Allah in New Delhi Manasa. He says about people's. Even when you see this you see the humiliation of this obeying Allah apparent on their face. Allah insists to humiliate those who disobey Him.

You can only see this with the light of faith. If we see this today we see this and we say, Wow, what a beautiful life. This man has it all.

That's because we look at it from the view of dunya. But with Eman it's a completely different view.

Imam Abraham, Allah Allah commenting on the verse that we just quoted, that Allah will not give power for the disbelievers over the believers. He said many people understand this as either or believers, disbelievers. He says no, this is a spectrum.

So to the degree that a person has faith, the strength of their Eman, this verse applies to them.

So he says people at the highest level of Eman this applies to them without question.

So even when they die, like Hamza will be alone, they die with dignity and they are the uppermost they're not humiliated.

Whereas the disbelievers

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. As we said, You believe him Allah subhanaw taala, you know, allows them the space to reach the highest level of their destruction and mischief and their crimes. So Allah, punish them punishes them fully in return.

So, why are Muslims do Muslims experience humiliation, to the degree of how much they are lacking in ima.

Period somebody says, Oh, this is impractical. Now, these are the real dynamics of life. Because causality there is the ultimate causality of the bigger dynamics of life. Then there are the immediate causes and they work in harmony. They work in harmony.

So Allah subhanaw taala, will give dignity to those who have His love, have Eman in him. In the heart. Allah will not humiliate people like this. But when the man gets weaker when the man gets weaker, what fills the other space?

Doubt.

God, there is no there is no vacuum in the heart. If there is no Eman, that means what fills the rest of the space, the opposite.

And that's the problem. And that's where the humiliation comes about. This is the cause of the humiliation.

You might say Oh, but the disbelievers they have way less Eman. Yes, the way Allah treats the disbelievers is not like a lottery to the believers, you will know more than they you should know you should know better. For them is a completely different thing. Allah allows them more to destroy a lot allows them to reach their highest extent the full extent of their destruction so that their punishment is full in the hereafter. For you the believer, Allah subhanaw taala punishes you in this world, at the hands of such oppressors why?

So you don't so the your your punishment gets less on the day of judgment for your shortcomings.

That's the general equation. Now can I say oh, for example, Hamza, this is your level of Eman and this is the level of your predicament is going to be no, this is these are this is in general terms.

Now there are other factors that go in. But this is a an oversimplification. This is an oversimplify there are other factors that go in and life is way more complex than you know our minds to be able just to sort of work it out as a mathematical equation. But we just sort of these are the principles of the Quran, this is how they apply. So don't we apply them in general terms, but we do not see that in definitive ways because reality is way more complex and only Allah is able to manage it.

Okay, the last bit in the Surah which is the last verse call call that's addolorata you do call me you know, nebula he will Yeoman after you were doing them and had the Aloha Rasulullah Welcome to our webinar

According to an analogy to Homer, you may only be lucky when you're when you want don't haven't had Allah Allah surah Allah stemmy ohada ohada fellow who don't have the momentum builder he will actually have gotten it can eliminate multiple Eman while there was any human man but human common human mankind I believe anyone who allottee he will boldly meander McCombie humor and that he will

enough to come and hopefully I

you will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having close ties with those who oppose Allah and His messenger. That is faith and close ties with the disbelievers cannot coexist. A person cannot truly be a believer and Allah and the Last Day unless he acts in accordance with what faith dictates and requires of loving and taking as allies those who have faith and resenting and opposing those who do not have faith, even if they are the closest of people to him. This is true faith that leads to the proper outcome and achieve achieves its purpose. Such people are the ones who in whose hearts Allah has inscribed faith. In other words, he has instilled it in a way in such

a way that it will not be shaken or affected by speck Enos arguments and doubts. They are the ones whom Allah has strengthened with divine aid, namely, his revelations help reinforcement and kindness.

They are the ones who will have a good life in this world, and will have gardens of bliss in the Hereafter, in which there is everything that their souls may desire, and that may delight their eyes, and they will have the best and greatest bliss of all, which is that Allah will bestow His pleasure upon them and will never be angry with them. They will be pleased with their Lord and and with what he gives them of all kinds of honor, abundant rewards and gifts, and high status in such a way that they will not think that anyone has been given anything better than what he has given them. As for those who claim to believe in Allah and the Last Day, yet, despite that they they have close

ties to the enemies of Allah, and the love those who have abandoned faith and turn their backs on it, that their so called faith is not real. Every matter should have proof and evidence, mere claims of mere claims are of no value and the one who makes them cannot be sincere.

Okay, so I think the Tafseer here is clear. When there is a man the signs of a man show, especially in terms of who you gravitate to, who you have a friendship and love for.

When there is a man in the heart, you would love the people of iman. You would love the people of faith, you find yourself loving the Prophet sallallahu sallam. Obviously before that loving Allah subhanho wa taala.

Loving the prophets hearts and MD companions, the believers, the scholars, right? And again, anyone everyone should abstain from making themselves the criteria and oh, I'm a practicing person. Why don't like why don't you like me?

We don't know. We don't know. Okay, so don't don't take your iman for granted. There is again, although there is Hamdulillah.

There is a good level of of religiosity and devotion but there's also a lot of fake religiosity and devotion. So don't no one should make themselves the criteria. Right? Just be careful. Just be careful, don't take faith for granted. And again, there are apparent signs of there are apparent signs of practice, which are part of Islam, how a person dresses up how they look like how they behave, and so on and so forth. These are part of iman, they're an extension they are a manifestation of iman. And the more demand the person has, the more their character develops, the more sense of decency they have, right.

But there are people who go mainly primarily for the external manifestations of worship when the hearts are rotten. And this is common. We need to be careful about this as well.

Those tend to be the narcissist type of people. Why? Because it's a very easy quick shortcut.

to the to the top, but this is not the top this is just a crust a very empty shell. Right. So these are the, these are important things to observe, right. And this sort of borders hypocrisy. But generally speaking Eman when a person has a man, they would birds of a feather flock together. People who share the deepest

beliefs and values you'd find that they actually get on together, or at least they would have this kind of appreciation, attraction towards each other in general. Okay, so these are some again don't apply them in mathematical ways. This overall signs these are overall signs so with this attempt a lot of elemina we have covered the Tafseer of Alumina Sadie for the last three years in the Quran. And a lot of behind me it's a blessing from Allah subhanaw taala. And I pray that this will be a means for us to attain Allah's pleasure and reward. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us take the best advantage from the month of Ramadan. It's time for the Quran. Ramadan is again time for the

Quran. For those who have time constraints, especially parents, people who are busy as well invest in leverage points. leverage points leverage points are the acts of worship that connect you the most to Allah subhanaw taala. In demand, even to him on loan to Allah was asked a couple of on a couple of occasions he was asked which is best for a person to do the ticker, read Quran or pray at night, the person has time at night. What should they do? He says there is a general answer. Prayer is the best reading Quran comes to them as number two, and Dhikr as number three, because if you think about it, prayer includes the other two.

And Quran is the highest level of the Quran, then open the Collect Subhan Allah Al Hamdulillah comes third, all of them are great, he says, But in the case of some people, the odor might change. Because some people Allah opens ways for them in, for example, the Quran, they find their heart in the Quran, they seem to do more of it. Whereas praying at night is tedious for them. They don't get to do much they get tired very quickly. So this person should invest in the leverage point. That's the gist of his answer. So he says there's a general answer, but you have to be very observant about your situation. You know, where do you have what we can call these leverage points. This is an open

pathway to gender for you, where you are more motivated. And but you feel the connection, you feel the connection with Allah subhanaw taala when you do them, you are more likely to do more and to stay consistent with those and for new horizons to open up when it comes to those acts of worship. But again,

with with Ramadan, you're talking about pretty much these acts of worship, don't say Oh, my preferred act of worship is to go on social media and press like for good. Cause pages.

No, that's not what we're talking about. Right? I like for example, what?

Whatever, no, go to the pure act of worship and things that are non from the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam things that connect you to Allah. And I would say worship really thrives. Some aspects of worship are social and in public, but the most powerful acts of worship are the most private.

These are the ones who are really purify your heart and they are the real test for your sincerity no one knows about them and you're satisfied you don't have you don't feel the urge to tell other people about them. That's inshallah a good indication a good indication of maybe there is sincerity. So pursue that and cherish it questions we can we have time for a couple of questions. Yes.

So if your marriage and tweet are not good, the prophets of salaam answered this call. Lydia call Haoran Wawona home behave I will not acephala 10 Kilometer Bella the one who reads Quran and is very good, skillful, right? He's with the highest angels describes among the angels.

Whether the Quran Quran way that will behave who Allah He shall.

And the person who reads the Quran and they struggle with it. Right? And they it's not smooth, because they're learning and then they would get to rewards to rewards because

the one reward of reading the Quran and doing your best second reward is for learning because what you're doing you actually practicing. So you're doing it Yeah, absolutely read the Quran. Read, but always seek, always seek to improve. That's the point. The point

Again people as well people always think oh, I have to be perfect. No it's actually your work towards your hard work towards perfection. That's what's appreciated by Allah this is what's called Mujahid. This is the reality of the meaning of jihad. Yeah.

Sisters

okay brothers any questions?

copia

can it ever be can it ever die out permanently? Football? Yeah.

natural disposition that inclination, okay. So the natural disposition the natural caught some people translated as the original natural covenant of constitution that we have with Allah subhanaw taala.

First it's, it's a matter of the unseen we see its signs. We see it science, many scholars say it's a function of the it's the nature of the soul. It's a function of the soul. It's in the heart. Can it die permanently?

Probably, some scholars say yes, some scholars say no those who say no it doesn't die. It just gets covered maybe completely covered but it never dies. They say Allah Subhan Allah says, frittata liability for doneness Alia letup De La Villa, the filter upon which Allah sort of designed people, there is no change for the fifth row of Allah. Some of them say that Allah is saying this is Hubbard, that Allah is saying it doesn't change, but it gets covered.

Right it gets isolated, quarantined, if you like. Others say no, this is a command from Allah. Allah Allah, which is command from Allah Allah. Allah Allah Allah don't change the creation of Allah stay true to the creation of Allah to the way Allah created you. So again, still the practical implications are the same. Yeah, when when it's fertilized isolated person is disconnected from it as if it died. Because sometimes it's done in absolute ways. Irreversible

can it get to a point where eventually you can ever reclaim ever connected

would they ever be can it be again the damage can it be permanent? We would say practically Yes, but can we tell if a person has like destroyed their foot rot permanently? We can't tell.

We can't tell. Eventually like there's hope and every person up until the last breath

Yeah.

Again sisters I had something question. Yes, go ahead.

Salsa.

So now I need to ask you a question. How come a person has faith and he doesn't pray and he follows the Sunnah of the Prophet sighs

So what is the Sunnah? What is the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW Selim? If the prayer is not there with what is left of the Sunnah

he's just bossing over them

tomorrow NASA stability within Solon full circle

well let me get the hypocrisy meter and run him through it.

Anyone has this

you know what?

with other people, what we can do is advise them we can always advise them remind them of Allah subhanaw taala now would a person say Hey, this is a hypocrite this is half a hypocrite. This person has 30% hypocrisy. That's not our job. That's not our job. We shouldn't be busy like we have enough just to preoccupy us about fixing ourselves. We see other people we should give them advice, heartfelt advice, you know fear Allah subhanaw taala and, but by the way, just fix person doesn't pray you can't say he's upon the Sunnah.

Even if he has the longest beard and the shortest shortest job and the biggest miss work. He's not some No.

No one can be further from the Sunnah than someone who doesn't pray. So this is not sunnah. But people associate the Sunnah with some external features. That's the problem. The Sunnah of the Prophet saucer. Mr. Hate first and foremost, number two salah.

Sorry.

How do we know he has managed to hate?

How do we know he has managed to hate him and Allah knows about that. Allah knows.

We said he doesn't pray How is it?

I mean, good for him. But

The Prophet SAW Selim said I had to let the brain and our brain Mohamed Salah from Antarctica to cover.

from Antarctica, I forgot to cover the covenant between us and them as the salah he who leaves it, then he has committed disbelief. Does this mean he is a catheter outside of Islam? Or does it mean he committed a great or an act of disbelief of cover? And he's still within the fold of Islam? Possibly, possibly Muslim scholars have differed with regards to this. But even those who say is within Islam, they say this person is just at the border of California, at the border of California, and could potentially be a Kaffir could potentially be a Kaffir. It's unimaginable. Someone loves Allah and believes in Allah and doesn't pray. This is like someone who says to his wife, I love you.

But he never like sees her and doesn't live with her. And he lives. Let's say he lives in another house. He doesn't spend time with her. Would she believe what she believes him? I love you. Right. But I won't spend no time with you just send you a couple of messages every day. How are you doing? You're good. I love you. Flowers and kisses and hearts. Right? And so where are you living somewhere else?

You know what? I'll visit you once a month.

Pray sometimes.

Oh, this pay the oh, that's love. Right? What are we talking about? Yeah, a person who doesn't prey is upon a great danger. Grain danger. Either either. He's a Kaffir or he's just bordering cover and maybe still within the fold of Islam.

This is absolutely not maybe not. Maybe we're where the argument is. Is his faith.

Weak like extremely weak or is it non existent? That's the question. But sooner No, don't mention so now with regards to this person. He has no connection to the Sunnah. He just mimics some acts that look like the Sunnah.

Yeah, but this is not soon.

Because a common law helps a lot and I say no, haven't do it early. He was hardly me.
