00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			I believe we were talking about the scene
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:25
			in the hereafter when Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:34
			'ala says that the angels who are observant
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			or watchers over the person, they will bring
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			that person.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:46
			قَالَ قَرِيمُهُ هَٰذَا مَا لَدَيَّا عَتِيدٌۢ Al-Qiyā
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			fi jahannama kulla kaffārin anīd We spoke already
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			about this.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Okay, so the angel will bring this.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			It's either the angels who are watching over
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			the person or a specific angel on the
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Day of Judgment is appointed to bring this
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			person before Allah for the account and if
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			this person is destined to the hellfire, they
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			will drag them to the hellfire.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:16
			But then Allah says قَالَ قَرِيمُهُ Okay, so
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			we will read again this part which I
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			believe is verse 27.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			We will read the commentary of Imam Al
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			-Sa'di and we will comment on it.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:36
			قَالَ قَالَ قَرِيمُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مُتَبَرِّئًا مِنْهُ حَامِلًا عَلَيْهِ
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:42
			إِثْمَهُ رَبَّنَا مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ وَلَا أَنِّي لَمْ يَكُنْ
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			لِي عَلَيْهِ سُلْطَانٌ وَلَا حُجَّةٌ وَلَا بُرْهَانٌ وَلَكِنْ
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:51
			كَانَ فِي الضَّلَالِ الْبَعِيدِ فَهُوَ الَّذِي ضَلَّ وَأَبْعَدَ
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			عَنِ الْحَقِّ بِاخْتِيَارِهِ كَمَا قَالَ فِي الْآيَةِ الْأُخْرَى
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَمَّا قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَعَدَكُمْ
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01
			وَعَدَ الْحَقِّ وَوَعَدْتُكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			مِّنْ سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا أَنْ دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِي فَلَا
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:10
			تَلْهُمُونِي وَلُومُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ الآيَة قال تعالى مجيباً لاختصامهم
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			لا تختصموا لدي أي لا فائدة في اختصامكم
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			عندي والحال أني قد قدمت إليكم بالوعيد أي
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:24
			جاءتكم رسولي بالآيات البيينات والحجج الواضحات والبراهين الساطعات
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			فقامت عليكم حجتي وانقطعت حجتكم وقدمتم علي بما
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			أسلفتم من الأعمال التي وجب جزاؤها ما يبدل
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			القول لدي أي لا يمكن أن يخلف ما
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			قاله الله وأخبر به لأنه لا أصدق من
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:43
			الله قيلا ولا أصدق حديثا وما أنا بظلام
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			للعبيد بل أجزيهم بما عملوا من خير وشر
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			فلا يزاد في سيئاتهم ولا ينقص من حسناتهم
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			هذا الشيطان سوف يقول للعبيد الشيطان أنه لا
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			يمكن أن يخلص منه ولا يمكن أن يخلص
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			من حسناته ربنا لم أخطأه لأنه ليس لديه
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			قوة وليس لديه دليل أو دليل بل هو
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:10
			ذهب بعيدا فهو ذهب بعيدا بسبب خياره هذا
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			مثل ما يقوله الله في مكان آخر وشيطان
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			سوف يقول عندما يقرر الموضوع حقا الله أعطاك
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:21
			معدات صحيحة وأنا أيضا أعطاك معدات ولكني أخطأتك
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			لقد لم يكن لدي قوة أمامك إلا أنني
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			اتصلت بك وأنت ترجمت إلي لذلك لا تذكرني
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			ولا تذكر نفسك الله سبحانه وتعالى سوف يقول
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			في تجاوز الموضوع لا تقارن مع بعض في
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			حضرتي هذا يعني أنه لا يوجد فائدة في
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			تقاريرك مع بعض في حضرتي عندما في الواقع
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			لقد أرسل لك حذر هذا يعني أن رسالتي
		
00:03:44 --> 00:06:47
			أتيت لك بوضوح وثيقة In
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			the sense, inject some ideas, some thoughts, but
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			they won't be as compelling.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			When someone has allowed shaitan to mess with
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58
			their hearts, shaitan can have this power over
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:58
			them.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			Not, and it doesn't mean, it doesn't mean,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			by the way, that you lose responsibility.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			You have led to this.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			You have given your heart to shaitan to
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			play with it.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			So you're responsible for that.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			You are responsible for that.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			Okay, so be careful, don't allow shaitan, because
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			shaitan is not going to bring anything but
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			destruction.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			If you think shaitan will ever give you
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			a good deal, then you have fallen for
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			his deception.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			Shaitan will never give you a good deal.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			Will never give you a good deal.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			Shaitan has only ruin and destruction to bring
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:39
			about.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			I mean, he can deceive, he can deceive
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			you, but he will not give you a
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			good deal.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:52
			يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا He
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			would promise them, and he would lure them
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:55
			in.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:02
			And shaitan only promises lies, deception, mirage.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			There's no reality to what he promises.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			He's not going to give it to you.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			And that's the nature of this dunya.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			That's the nature of this dunya.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			This is what Allah calls it, مَتَنَعُ الْغُرُور
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			Same thing, غرور, delusion.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			There's no reality to it.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			It will always tempt you, oh the next
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			thing, get the next thing, get this thing,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			and you'll be happy.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			You say, okay, once I get this thing.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			Once you get this thing, you realize, oh
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			no no, the next thing.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			And you never get enough.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			You never get enough.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			It will never fulfill you.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			This life is not designed to fulfill you.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			It cannot fulfill you.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:35
			It cannot.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			It doesn't have this capacity.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			It doesn't have this ability.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			It will never.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			Nothing fulfills you but the worship of Allah
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:46
			Nothing.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			Nothing.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			So what about all of these dreams?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			These are lies and deceptions of shaitan and
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			the dunya.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			What about all these successful people?
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			They are just lying to you.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			They are just lying to you.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			They are more hungry than you are.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			They are more dissatisfied than you really are.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			And that's why they want to lure you
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			in.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			So that's what shaitan does.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			Shaitan on the day of judgment, he will
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			say, وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّن سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			أَن دَعُوتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِي فَلَا تَلُومُونِي وَلُومُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			I had no power over you.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			I didn't exercise any authority over you.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			I didn't force you to do anything.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			I just invited you.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			إِلَّا أَن دَعُوتُكُمْ I gave you da'wah.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِي You believed in me.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			You answered my dua.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			You followed me.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			You followed my clue.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			فَلَا تَلُومُونِي Don't blame me.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			Blame yourselves.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			مَا أَنَا بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ أُمَا أَنتُم بِمُصْرِخِي I can't
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			help you out.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			You can't help me out.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			No one can save the other.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:54
			You're done.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			You're doomed.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			And it's your problem.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			And it's your responsibility.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			I'm not going to take any share of
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:02
			your punishment.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			I have my share.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			You have your share.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			So, that's what shaitan does.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			So, this is why any temptation, any time,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			at any moment, you think that putting anything
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:18
			first before Allah, or doing anything that displeases
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			Allah, or you say, I'll just do this
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			haram, and then I'll fix my ways.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			That's how shaitan gets you.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			And it's not the only, okay, I'm just
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			going to do haram this way.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:29
			No.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:33
			You open a door of fitna, and it's
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			just harder to come out of it.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			It's just harder to come out of it.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			Because once you put your foot in, you're
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			pulled in.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			It's not easy.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			It becomes even harder.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			So, it's easier to not get into it
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			in the first place.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			It just gets harder.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			You get more stuck.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			So, shaitan screams out on the Day of
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:58
			Judgment.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			He says, مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ رَبَّنَا مَا أَطْغَيْتُهُ وَلَكِن
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			كَانَ فِي ضَلَالٍ بَعِيدٍ I did not lead
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:03
			him astray.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			I did not.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			He was astray.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			He himself, because shaitan is going to say,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ I fear Allah.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			You think shaitan is going to be happy
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			on the Day of Judgment?
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			He'll be petrified.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22
			When he sees the hellfire, he'll be petrified.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			So, he doesn't want to get more punishment.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			So, he says, I have nothing to do
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:28
			with him.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			It's his problem.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			He got himself into this.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			So, now you regret all of the temptations,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			all of these delusional thoughts, and, you know,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			Oh, this, I will do this.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:39
			I will get this.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			I will fix my ways later on.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			I'll achieve that.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			I'll achieve...
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			These were all lies.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			All lies.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			Like scams.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			Like any kind of scam.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			It really pulls you in.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			It seems so solid.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:00
			And, like, attractively very promising, right?
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			And you just go into it.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			And you say, it's impossible.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:05
			This will not work.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			It's impossible.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			This will not work.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			Only to find that you are a victim
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			of a scam.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			And you lost whatever you had.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			And there's no way to recover that.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			But imagine, the thing is, whatever you lose
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			in this dunya, Alhamdulillah, you can still...
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			You can start from scratch.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			You can start again.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			You haven't really lost anything.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			Because it's not you.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			You have lost something, okay?
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			Khalas is gone.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			But you have yourself.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			The thing on the Day of Judgment is
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			Allah says, أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ When you
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			lose yourself, there's no way back.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			When you lose yourself, there's no way back.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			I'm gonna fix my ways.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			Second chance.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:48
			No.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			What does that mean?
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:56
			That means going to the Hellfire for good.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			So not even serve a period.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			No period.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			It's gonna be forever.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:06
			Forever.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			There's no way.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			لَا يُقْضَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُوا وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ مِّنْ
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			عَدَابِهَا They're not given death so that they
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			rest.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			And the punishment will not be lessened for
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22
			them.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:23
			Imagine.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			Just the thought of this is very painful.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			Just the thought.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			This thought is very painful.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:33
			Knowing that there will be escalating increasingly more
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			punishment and pain forever.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			Non-stop.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			You can't even die.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			You're stuck.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			So Allah s.w.t. says, Don't argue
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			with me.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			Don't argue in front of me.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			Don't start debating, Oh, it's your fault, it's
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			your fault, it's your fault.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			I have given you enough warnings.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			I've given you enough guidance.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			I've sent my messengers.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			I made the truth clear to everyone.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			Your responsibility was clear.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:08
			It's too late now.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			You made your decisions.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			And you are now going to be held
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:12
			accountable.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			Whether you blame shaytaan, you don't blame shaytaan,
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			you blame those who had influence over you,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			you don't blame them.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			It doesn't make any difference.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			It boils down to one thing.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			You were given the ability to choose.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			You were given responsibility.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			You were given accountability.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			You were given enough time.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			You were given enough warning.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			You were given enough knowledge.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			But you opted for the poor choices.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			You have to deal with the consequences.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:42
			أَلَمْ نُعَمِّلْكُمْ مَا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مِنْ تَذَكَّرَ وَجَاءَكُمْ
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			النَّذِيرُ Didn't we give you life long enough?
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			In this life, anyone who would remember, who
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			would take a reminder, was reminded already.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			It's more than enough.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			You have more than enough.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			And Allah will not be unjust.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			This is why Allah says, مَا يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			لِهِ I'm not going to change what has
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			happened.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			I'm not going to change my word.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			I said, when you come to me, you
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:08
			will be held accountable.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			You will face the consequences.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			I'm not going to change this.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			You will get what you deserve.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			I'm not going to undo this.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			Give you a second chance.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			There's no second chance.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			You were given enough opportunity to make choices.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			You were given justice.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			And you were even given grace on top
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			of that justice.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32
			وَمَا أَنَا بِظَلَّا مِنْ لِلْعَبِيدِ And I do
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			not wrong any of My servants.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			Allah doesn't do, إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا ظُلِمُوا بِثْقَالَ
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			ذَرَّةً Allah does not commit injustice.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			Not even an atom's weight.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			Not even the slightest weight of injustice.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			Allah does not commit that.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			So that would be just and fair.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			So who is to blame?
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			Only yourself.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			You have none but yourself to blame.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			Then Allah describes more details.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			And this is what these verses are about.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:05
			قَالَ تَعَالَ يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلْ امْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			هَلْ مِن مَزِيدٍ وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:13
			هَذَا مَا تُوْعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيطٍ مَنْ خَشِيَ
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:18
			الرَّحْمَانَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَجَاءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُنِيبٍ أُدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ ذَلِكَ
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			يَوْمُ الْخُلُودِ لَهُمْ مَا يَشَاءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٍ
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:26
			يَقُولُ تَعَالَى مُخَوِّفًا عِبَادَهُ يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلْ
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			امْتَلَأْتِ وَذَلِكَ مِن كَثْرَةِ مَا أُلْقِيَ فِيهَا وَتَقُولُ
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			هَلْ مِن مَزِيدٍ أَيْ لَا تَزَالُ تَطْلُبُ الزِّيَادَةَ
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:38
			مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ الْعَاصِينَ غَضَبًا لِرَبِّهَا وَغَيْظًا عَلَى
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:43
			الْكَافِرِينَ وَقَدْ وَعَدَهَا اللَّهُ مَلْأَهَا كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَ
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعٍ حَتَّى يَضَعَ
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ عَلَيْهَا قَدَمَهُ الْكَرِيمَةَ الْمُنَزَّهَةَ عَنِ
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:54
			الْتَشْبِيهِ فَيَنْزَوِي بَعْضُهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَتَقُولُ قَطْطُ قَطْطُ
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:59
			قَدْ اكْتَفَيْتُ وَامْتَلَأْتُ وَأُزْلِفَتْ الْجَنَّةِ قُرِّبَتْ بِحَيْثُ
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:03
			تُشَاهَدُ وَيُنظَرُ مَا فِيهَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الْمُقِيمِ وَالْحَضْرَةِ
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:07
			وَالسُّرُورِ وَإِنَّمَا أُزْلِفَتْ وَقُرِّبَتْ لِأَجْلِ الْمُتَّقِينَ
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:11
			لِرَبِّهِمْ أَتَّالِكِينَ لِلشِّرْكِ صَغِيرِهِ وَكَبِيرِهِ الْمُمْتَثِلِينَ
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:15
			لِيَوَامِرِ رَبِّهِمْ الْمُنْقَادِينَ ل وَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ عَلَى وَجْهِ
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:20
			التَّهْنِئَةِ هَٰذَا مَا تُوْعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيضٍ أَيْ
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:25
			هَٰذِهِ الْجَنَّةُ وَمَا فِيهَا مِمَّا تَشْتَهِيهِ الْأَنْفُسِ وَتَلَذُّ
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			الْأَعْيُنِ هِيَ الَّتِي وَعَدَ اللَّهُ كُلَّ أَوَّابٍ أَيْ
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33
			رَجَّاعٍ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأَوْغَاتِ بِذِكْرِهِ وَحُبِّهِ
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:39
			وَالْإِسْتِعَانَةِ بِهِ وَدُعَائِهِ وَخَوْفِهِ وَرَجَائِهِ حَفِيض أي حافظ
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			على ما أمر الله به بامتثاله على وجه
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:47
			الإخلاص والإكمال له على أكمل المجوه حفير لحدوده
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			من خشي الرحمن أي خافه على وجه المعرفة
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:59
			بربه والرجاء لرحمته ولازم على خشية الله في
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			حال غيبه أي مغيبه عن أعين الناس وهذه
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			هي الخشية الحقيقية وأما خشيته في حال نظر
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:10
			الناس وحضورهم فقد تكون رياءً وسمعة فلا تدل
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			على الخشية وإنما الخشية النافعة خشية الله في
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			الغيب والشهادة ويحتمل أن المراد بخشية الله بالغيب
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			كالمراد بالإيمان بالغيب وأن هذا مقابل للشهادة حيث
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:28
			يكون الإيمان والخشية ضورياً لاختيارية حيث يعاين العذاب
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:51
			تأتي آيات الله وهذا هو الظاهر وهذا
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:56
			سوف يطلب المزيد من المغيبين والشهادين بغض النظر
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:02
			عن رحمته وعن أعين المغيبين الله سبحانه وتعالى
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			قد وعد أن يقفزها وكما يقول في آية
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:10
			أخرى سوف أقفز الجن والناس بالغيب هذا سوف
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:14
			يستمر حتى يقفز رحمته وعن أعين المغيبين وهذا
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			لا يمكن أن يكون مقارنة بأي شيء في
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:20
			الخلق وعندما يقفزه سوف يقفز في نفسه ويقول
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:24
			كفاية كفاية معنى أنني لدي الكفاية وأنا مليئ
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:29
			الجنة سوف تحضر في نظر الرحمن ليس بعيداً
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			وهذا يعني أنها سوف تحضر قريباً لكي تنظر
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:37
			وترى ماذا تحتوي على سعادة أبداً سعادة والسعادة
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			Allah promised to everyone who constantly turned to
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			Him and came back to Allah at all
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			times by remembering Him, loving Him, seeking His
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			help, calling upon Him, fearing Him and putting
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			His hope in Him and remained dutiful that
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21
			is, He adhered to what Allah enjoined upon
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			Him obeyed Him sincerely and carried out His
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			duties towards Him perfectly keeping to His limits
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:31
			and feared the Most Gracious Unseen that is,
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			He feared Him on the basis of His
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			knowledge of His Lord in hope of His
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			mercy and feared Allah Unseen in all situations
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			even when people cannot see Him this is
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:45
			true fear of Allah as for fearing Him
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			in the presence of others when they are
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50
			looking at one this is showing off and
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			seeking reputation and is not indicative of fear
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			of Allah rather beneficial fear of Allah is
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			fear of Him when one is alone and
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:04
			when one is with others fearing Allah Unseen
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			stems from belief in the Unseen as opposed
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			to believing when one sees some matters of
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:16
			the Unseen in which case, faith and fear
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			of Allah become inevitable and are not voluntary
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			because the person will see with his own
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			eyes the punishment and the signs of Allah
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			let's read the rest of this and then
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:58
			we will comment ...
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:21
			Ameen
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:51
			...
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			...
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			...
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			Ameen ...
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

			...
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:54
			...
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			If you don't put evil in the hellfire
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			and the source of the evil in the
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			hellfire it will be an injustice and Allah
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			is free from the injustice He is going
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			to put everything where it belongs Good is
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			going to end up in Jannah Evil is
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			going to end up and its sources and
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			its elements are going to be put in
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			the hellfire that's justice Anything other than that
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			is injustice this.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:23
			So Allah SWT promised Jahannam to fill it,
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			to fill it up.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			So Allah asks at some point, asks Jahannam,
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			Jahannam says, is there any more?
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			Give me more, give me more.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			So at this point, and this is an
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			authentic hadith from the Prophet SAW, that Allah
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:48
			SWT places his blessed foot on Jahannam.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			And then it says, enough, that's it.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:53
			It says enough.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			And that's when that chapter is sealed.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:01
			Hellfire is going to burn forever with those
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			who deserve it.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			Those who have some evil but they have
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:10
			good in them, this evil has to burn
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:14
			off in Jahannam because they can't enter Jannah.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			Jannah, no evil enters Jannah.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			And any person who has any evil in
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			them cannot enter Jannah because of that evil.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:26
			So the evil has to burn off, has
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			to be purified.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:32
			So trials that take place in this world,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:37
			diseases are means for expiation.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			They remove this evil, that evil, they burn
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			off this evil.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			Good deeds you do, burn off evil.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			But eventually if you arrive at that final
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			point on the Day of Judgment where there
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			is evil in you and Allah does not
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:54
			forgive it, then you have to serve a
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			term in the Hellfire where it gets burned
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:56
			off.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			And then eventually when it gets burned off,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			these people will be freed from the Hellfire
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			and they will be allowed to enter Jannah.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:03
			Why?
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			Because now they are pure.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			Because people of Jannah, before they enter, it
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:14
			will be said to them, you are pure,
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			you are purely good.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			Now enter it.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
			That's the condition to enter Jannah.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			You have to be completely, purely good.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			There's no evil.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			No evil is allowed to enter.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:33
			So then Allah says, وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ And
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36
			Jannah will be brought near for the believers
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			so they can see it and they can
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38
			see what's in it.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			The beautiful scene.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			So their hearts long to it.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			They jump out wanting to be in Jannah.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			This is the beauty and the bliss of
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			seeing it before entering it.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:57
			وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			غَيْرَ بَعِيدًا هَذَا مَا تُعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيرٌ
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			Everyone who has preserved, everyone who has observed
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:09
			the rights of Allah, everyone who has given
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			Allah his rights and everyone who strove to
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			give Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala his rights
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			and has always returned.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			Because you can't be perfect.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			You can't always give Allah his rights.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			So when you slip, you always come back,
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			you always come back.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			People say I'm trying my best, I'm trying
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			my best but I keep falling.
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			Keep coming back, keep coming back.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			Allah is saying, أَوَّابٍ حَفِيرٌ That's what you
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			are.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:30
			That's what you are.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			أَوَّابٍ, always coming back.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			When you slip, you pick yourself up, come
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:34
			back to Allah.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			You transgress against Allah, you always come back
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			to Allah.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			You say maybe Allah doesn't want me.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			That's shaitan speaking inside of you.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			You think it's your own thoughts, right?
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			You think it's your own ideas.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			You might even think you have insight.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			I know Allah doesn't want me.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			So you know now, you're going to blame
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			yourself for this on the Day of Judgment
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			because this is not your thought, this is
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00
			shaitan.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			These are the injections of shaitan in your
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:04
			heart.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			And how do they feel?
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			They feel as though they are your own
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:08
			conclusions.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			Why?
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			Because you're more likely to follow them when
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			you take ownership, right?
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17
			They are my ideas, my feelings, my thoughts,
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18
			my intentions.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			They're not yours.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			So what happens in your inner space is
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			not all yours.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			It's not all yours.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			That's why the Prophet s.a.w. said,
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			Allah does not hold us accountable for what?
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:35
			حَدِيثٍ نَفْسٍ These things that run inside of
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			you, run through your mind.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:41
			Unless you hold on to them and start
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			giving them attention and start working on them,
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:47
			that's when you start falling and become blameworthy.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:50
			So shaitan injects this in you.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			So you always come back.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			You persevere to worship Allah s.a.w.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			You do your best.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			Eventually you're going to fall.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			Every time you fall, come back to Allah.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			Come back to Allah.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			Or I've been away for 10 years.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			Time to come back.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			What are you doing?
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			Maybe it's too long.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			Nothing is too long for Allah.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			Nothing is too long so let them be
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			20 years.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			That's shaitan speaking.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			That's shaitan speaking.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			So don't follow through with this.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			Come back to Allah.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:20
			Why?
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			Because you might just follow or run away
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:30
			with an idea depending or supposedly depending on
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			the mercy of Allah, the forgiveness of Allah
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			and this might be your end.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			This might be the no return moment in
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			your life.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			As long as you come back to Allah,
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			you're okay.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			As long as you come back to Allah,
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:48
			you're okay.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			But once you start taking advantage of Allah's
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:54
			kindness, of Allah's forgiveness, that's when you're more
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			likely not to make it back.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:56
			So be careful.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			Who truly fears Allah and has taqwa of
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			Allah?
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			Because they know Allah.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			They know the glory, the might, the power
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:12
			of Allah.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			So they don't want to upset Allah.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			Because you don't see Allah with your eyes.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			But when you have iman, it's more compelling
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			as we said than the eye vision.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:30
			Why?
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			Because it's real.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			And many people by the way, they don't
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			give themselves the chance to live that closeness
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:37
			to Allah.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:41
			Your heart can literally arrive at a moment
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:44
			of realization, not moment, even a state of
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:49
			realization that could stay with you of feeling
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			the connection to Allah personally.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			But allow yourself, allow yourself.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			The more you read the Qur'an, it
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			starts to rub off on you to the
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:02
			point that Allah becomes real in your experience
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:03
			as He is really real.
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:08
			He becomes compellingly real more than the things
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			that you see with your own eyes.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			But we don't give ourselves a chance.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:14
			We read a surah once, twice, three times
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			or we read it absentmindedly.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			When you put your attention with the Qur
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			'an and you keep reading it and reading
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			it and reading it, reading it, it keeps
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:26
			giving you something more, a real experience, real
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:31
			experience, a personal realization, a personal realization.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			That's iman, that's iman bil ghayb, iman bil
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:34
			ghayb.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			You don't see it with your eyes.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			You don't hear Allah with your eyes.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			But your heart has the capacity to connect
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			to the world of the unseen through iman.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			And it's not imagination.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			We're not talking about conjuring up some mental
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:47
			image.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			No, that's called superstition.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			That's called imagination.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			What we are talking about is the sight
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			of the heart and the heart does see.
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:57
			The heart does see.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			How do you experience this?
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			As a knowing, as a realization.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			I know this is real.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			You just know it.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06
			There's no words that express this.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			But give yourself the opportunity to engage with
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			the Qur'an, to engage with Allah.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			Make dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			Every day, every night, keep making dua, keep
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			making dua.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			And don't obsess so much over what you
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			want because often times when you badly want
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			something from Allah, Allah will allow you to
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			make dua and He will give you something
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			better, which is that sense of personal closeness
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:30
			to Allah that somehow pops up in your
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			experience and it's better than the world and
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			everything in it.
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			So allow yourself this.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			This is al iman bil ghayb.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:42
			Al iman is a real experience.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			It's a real experience.
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			Many Muslims think iman is imagination.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:48
			Iman is not imagination.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:50
			It's not.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:50
			You don't imagine.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			There's no mental images.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			There is a knowing in your heart.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55
			I just know it.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			I just know it compellingly.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			It's a very powerful experience.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:00
			It's the truth.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			There's nothing more powerful than the truth and
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			the device that you have to recognize the
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06
			truth, to connect to the truth, to perceive
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			the truth is this heart.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			But subhanAllah, we have to admit in this
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			day and age, the moment you are born,
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			your heart is targeted.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			Your heart is targeted.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:28
			There are industries, sophisticated industries that are designed
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			to destroy and corrupt your heart.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33
			That's why we are illiterate when it comes
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			to the heart.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37
			We are so illiterate like our muscle, let's
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			say the heart is a muscle, just an
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:46
			analogy, is so dormant, is so dormant that
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:47
			we can't even activate it.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:50
			The first pulse of activation, we can't even
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:50
			get that to be.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			But if you persist, Allah will resuscitate your
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			heart.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			But just persist.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:04
			Persist and continue and persevere until Allah subhanahu
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:04
			wa ta'ala opens.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:05
			But don't give up on Allah.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:07
			Don't give up on Allah.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			Don't test Allah.
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			Don't test Allah.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			Allah is more real than you are.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			Allah is more real than you are.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			So you have no place to doubt Him.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			You have no place to test Allah.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			So, man khashiyar rahmana bil ghayb, wa jaa
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			biqalbim muneeb.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:32
			Again muneeb.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:34
			At the beginning of the surah we had
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			muneeb, right?
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36
			We mentioned what is muneeb.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:41
			Remember what is inaba, muneeb, inaba, returning to
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:42
			Allah, coming back to Allah with what?
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			With Allah.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48
			Okay, yes.
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:50
			Somebody else?
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:52
			Allah.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:52
			Allah.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:52
			Allah.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:52
			Allah.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:52
			Allah.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:52
			Allah.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			It's the essence of it is love, always.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			Your heart always gravitates to Allah, comes back
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			to Allah, comes back to Allah with love,
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			love, love.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			Your heart loves no one more than Allah.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:06
			No one more than that.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			So something like you go through a state
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			where somehow you slip and that love of
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			Allah recedes to the background, right?
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			That's when you slip.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17
			That's when you slip.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			But muneeb, you come back, you return to
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:23
			Allah, love comes back to occupy your heart,
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:23
			love of Allah.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			That's what muneeb is.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			And with that love, everything good comes.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:31
			Every virtue in you starts to play out.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:35
			Every beautiful character trait comes out.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40
			The actions of the heart of love, hope,
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:45
			fear, longing, generosity, kindness, forgiveness, right?
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:51
			Light, joy, with Allah, rejection of evil, beautiful
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:55
			taste for what is good, and a nature
		
00:35:55 --> 00:36:00
			that feels repelled by evil and feel disgusted
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:01
			by evil naturally.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:03
			These are actions of the heart.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05
			With the love of Allah, they come, they
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:06
			are revived.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07
			They become active in your life.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:09
			They shape your character.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			They shape your character.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12
			That's your heart.
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			So they lied to us, they called it
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:14
			personality.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			But that's how the heart works.
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			That's how humans change.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:27
			So those are the people of Jannah.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			Those are the people of Jannah.
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			And this is why many people think, you
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			know what, Ya Islam, just do the external
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			actions.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:37
			External actions have roots.
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41
			If the roots are not there, what you
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			have is a fake replica.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:47
			It's a fake replica.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:48
			It's serious.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			It is serious.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			Many people think, oh ya, like, I can
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:55
			just do the external actions, that's basic level
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56
			and I'm safe with that.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:59
			No, if it doesn't have roots in your
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:03
			heart of ikhlas, of love of Allah, right?
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			And tawakkul and trust in Allah, and the
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:08
			longing for Allah, it could, if those are
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			like, at a very minimal level or a
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			non-existent level, your action counts zero.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			Zero, because it's not for Allah.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			It's very serious.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			It is very serious.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25
			So iman, iman, the root of iman is
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			in the heart.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28
			So when you pray, you experience the prayer.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			This is what Allah says, allatheena hum fee
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			salatihim khaashi'oon.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:34
			Why does he describe the believers as allatheena
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			hum fee salatihim khaashi'oon?
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			Khushu' is the prayer of your heart.
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:43
			The standing and the bowing and the prostration
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			is the prayer of your body.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			They are supposed to go in sync.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			That's what the prayer, this is what is
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50
			called salah in Islam.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:55
			The external is called a'amalus salah, or
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			af'alus salah, or hayatus salah.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			The physical description of salah, but this is
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:00
			not salah.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			When Allah says, wallatheena hum ala salatihim yuhaafidhoon,
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:08
			those who observe the prayer, Allah talks about
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10
			the prayer, all of it.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12
			The share of your body, the share of
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			your tongue with the adhkar, and the share
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:16
			of your heart, which is khushu' which is
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:19
			intention, comes with that intention, that love of
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			So all of the actions, all of the
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			actions that we see as external, this is
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			the tip of the iceberg.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30
			I'm just throwing a number by the way,
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:34
			it could be 89%, it could be 99%.
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:36
			I don't know, it's not about the number,
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37
			but it's just the tip of the iceberg
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:39
			is what you see and what you hear.
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:43
			Majority of the act of worship takes place
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:43
			in the heart.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:45
			These are actions of the heart that your
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:46
			heart performs them.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			So in salah, 90% of your salah
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			takes place in the heart.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:55
			Yes, 90% of your salah takes place
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:56
			in the heart.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:58
			That's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:02
			said, laisa laka min salatika illa maa aqilt.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:05
			You're gonna get nothing from your salah, but
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:08
			what aqilt here is the experience of your
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:08
			heart.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12
			What your heart experiences in salah, what your
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			heart engages with in salah.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			So if you just prayed and your heart
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:19
			is not there, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			sallam mentioned in the same hadith, he said,
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			yansarifu arrajulu minas salahu wala yuktabu lahu illa
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:30
			nusfuhaa thuluthuhaa rubuhaa, wa yansarifu arrajulu minas salahu
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			wala yuktabu lahu shayyi.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:35
			And a person has performed the salah, he
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:38
			leaves and he gets nothing.
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:39
			Nothing.
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			Why?
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:42
			Because the heart did not pray.
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:46
			The body prayed, the tongue prayed, but the
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			heart didn't pray.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:51
			So Allah is saying, who are the people
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:51
			of Jannah?
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:54
			Man khashiyar rahmana bilghayb.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			Look at the criteria Allah put.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:59
			Man khashiyar, whoever fears Allah, has this sense
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:03
			of awe towards Allah, is always mindful of
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:04
			the glory of Allah and he lives in
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:05
			the spirit of that.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			Khashiyar rahmana bilghayb.
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			He doesn't see Allah, but his heart is
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			engaged with this reality.
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			His heart realizes this reality and lives in
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:14
			it.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			It's a real experience.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:18
			Wajaa biqalbi muneeb.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:20
			And he comes to Allah with a heart
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:20
			that is full of inab.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			And we said inab is always returning to
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:23
			Allah with love, right?
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:26
			With worship, with obedience, with that kind of
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:29
			dedication, that devotion of love.
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:30
			These are in the heart.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			That's why you'll have scholars say many times,
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:37
			many scholars say, like Ibn Tamiyya said, inna
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			fi dunya jannah.
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:42
			Man lam yadkhulha lam yadkhul jannahal akhira.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			There is Jannah in this dunya.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:49
			Whoever doesn't enter it, that's the experience of
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:49
			the heart.
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:53
			Whoever fails to enter this Jannah of the
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			dunya will not enter Jannah of the akhira.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			So it's the heart.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			It is the heart.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:07
			I understand, we are like this generation.
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			When I say this generation, I'm talking about
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			a century, right?
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:16
			The amount of damage that has been done
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:19
			to our hearts is unbelievable.
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:24
			And that continues to be done with everything
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			around you is unbelievable.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			It's ethnic cleansing of your heart.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			Complete don't rest in this.
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:37
			That's your challenge, to take care of your
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			heart.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			Say, okay, but I've been the victim of
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:41
			ethnic cleansing.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			Yeah, fight back.
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:47
			Fight back.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49
			Do not fall for just the external things.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:53
			External things have no meaning without their essence.
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			They need their essence.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:55
			They are important.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:56
			They have to perform them.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			You can't just say, okay, I'll just worship
		
00:41:58 --> 00:41:59
			Allah in my heart.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:02
			Then you're going to join Iblis and the
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:02
			hellfire.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:05
			That's not how Islam works.
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07
			They go hand in hand.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:11
			So what happens to those?
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:15
			Allah says, ادخلها بسلام.
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:16
			Enter Jannah.
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			بسلام.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			You are pure.
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:23
			Salaam means you are free from every evil.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:24
			Free.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			You're just pure good.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:29
			And salaam also means peace.
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			There's no threat.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			Salaam means, by the way, purity.
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			Means that you are pure of any blemishes.
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:39
			Could be threats.
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:41
			Could be evil.
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:42
			Could be anything.
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:45
			You are just pure good and safety and
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			bliss in Jannah.
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:47
			So enter it.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			ادخلها بسلام.
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:49
			ذلك يوم الخلود.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:51
			This is the day of what?
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:52
			Eternity.
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:55
			This day is going to continue eternally.
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:56
			There's no end to this day.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:58
			There's no end to your joy here.
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			So you never feel that it's going to
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:01
			come to an end.
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:07
			You never fear that thing, okay, I'll enjoy
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:09
			this for a while, but then things could
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:09
			change.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:10
			No.
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			Of course, that's it.
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13
			You're going to be in this forever.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			Even this you can't think about it.
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			You can't even fathom what forever means.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			Like you're literally going to be in bliss.
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:21
			Escalating bliss.
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:24
			In Jannah, escalating bliss.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27
			Increasingly, you know, more bliss.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:28
			Right?
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:29
			As time goes on.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:30
			Infinitely.
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:34
			There will be no day like when this
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35
			becomes history.
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36
			It's going to be there forever.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			It's going to continue.
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:40
			The hellfire, increasingly more pain and punishment.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			That's what we're dealing with.
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:43
			ذلك يوم الخلود.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:45
			لهم ما يشاءون فيها ولدينا المزيد.
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:48
			Everything they desire, they will be given.
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:50
			Like you wish, and the Prophet ﷺ mentioned
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:51
			in the Hadith.
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:54
			Like you just experience a wish.
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:56
			Like you see a bird and you wish
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:59
			it is roasted in front of you.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			It becomes a reality.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:05
			The wish becomes a reality instantly.
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:12
			If you love steaks, yeah, you're going to
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:13
			have it immediately.
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:15
			Right?
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:16
			You don't have to season it.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			You don't have to salt it.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:21
			You don't have to prepare the grill.
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22
			You don't have to do this.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			You don't have to cook things.
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			You don't have to bring the butter.
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26
			You don't have to do nothing.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			It's just the moment you wish it, it's
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:29
			right in front of you.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:32
			Why?
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:35
			Because you have obeyed Allah.
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37
			You have fulfilled the purpose.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:40
			Your heart was with Allah.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:42
			Your heart was for Allah.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:45
			Your heart lived in love of Allah, fear
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:48
			of Allah, devotion and trust in Allah and
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:51
			you gave up on your own will for
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53
			the sake of the will of Allah because
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:55
			you are a slave of Allah.
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:57
			So you acted in truth.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:59
			That's what Allah gives.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			That's what Allah gives.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:06
			And humans, their home is Jannah.
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:07
			That's your home by the way.
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			This is not like a guest house.
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:11
			This is your home.
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:14
			Scholars say Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:15
			humans love their home.
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			It's natural in humans to love their homeland.
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:19
			Allah made it natural in them.
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created Adam
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:23
			in Jannah.
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:24
			He first placed him in Jannah.
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:25
			Why?
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27
			For this to be the home of humans.
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:28
			The homeland of humans.
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:30
			You are a native of Jannah.
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:33
			And you are here in captivity.
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			You are here in captivity.
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:38
			Shaitaan has taken you captive here in this
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:39
			Jannah, in this world.
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:51
			Those on the Sunday course, sujinta biha wa
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			anta laha muhibbun fa kayfa tuhibbu ma feehi
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:54
			sujinta.
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58
			You have been put in prison.
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00
			In this life, it's your jail.
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:02
			This life is your prison, is your cell.
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:10
			How come you love the place of your
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:11
			captivity?
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14
			Why do you fall in love with it?
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:16
			You're kidnapped.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:19
			What do they call it?
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:20
			Stockholm syndrome, right?
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:23
			We suffer from Stockholm syndrome.
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:27
			We're so infatuated by the prison.
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:29
			And the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:31
			dunya sijnul mu'min wa jannatul kafir.
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35
			This worldly life is the prison.
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:38
			It's the prison life of the believer.
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			But it is Jannah for the disbeliever.
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:41
			Why Jannah?
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:44
			Because what's awaiting the disbeliever is just going
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:44
			to be worse.
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:47
			And what awaits the believer is always going
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:47
			to be better.
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:54
			So Jannah is our homeland.
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:57
			Ibn al-Qayyim says in some lines of
		
00:46:57 --> 00:47:01
			poetry, fa hayya ala jannati adnin fa innaha
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:06
			manaziluka al-oola, wa feeha al-mukhayyamu, walaakinnana
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:09
			sabyu al-aduwi fa hal taraa na oodu
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11
			ila awtaanina wa nusallimu.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:18
			So he says, hayya ala jannati adnin, to
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:23
			the gardens of paradise.
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:23
			That was your home.
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:24
			That was your first home, Jannah.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:25
			It's your homeland.
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:27
			It's your home.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			Fa hayya ala jannati adnin, fa innaha manaziluka
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:30
			al-oola, wa feeha al-mukhayyamu.
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:33
			And you are promised to stay there, to
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:34
			settle there.
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:38
			Walaakinnana sabyu al-aduwi.
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:41
			But we have been kidnapped by the enemy.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:43
			Fa hal taraa.
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:45
			Perhaps, or do you think we will ever
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:46
			make it back?
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			Fa hal taraa na oodu ila awtaanina.
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:49
			Will we make it back home?
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:53
			Na oodu ila awtaanina wa nusallimu and greet
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:55
			back our family and our people?
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:58
			That's the reality of our life here.
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:01
			So imagine people get attached to their place
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:01
			of captivity.
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:04
			Their place of captivity.
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:11
			And if people were not intoxicated with the
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:13
			dunya, they would see it for what it
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:13
			is.
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:14
			A land of misery.
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:16
			A land of misery.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:20
			You know what keeps people seeking the dunya?
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:21
			The false promise of Shaitaan.
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:27
			But if you look at your life objectively,
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:29
			despite all the blessings of Allah, it's a
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:30
			life of misery.
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:31
			It's a life of pain.
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:33
			Laqad khalaqna al-insana feeka bat.
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:36
			You were never created for this world.
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:38
			Your heart will never rest here.
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:39
			It will be in pain.
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:43
			It's just like fish taken out of water.
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:43
			Exactly.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:47
			It will be just flapping and trying to
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:48
			just get back to water.
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:49
			That's exactly what your heart is.
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:53
			But what keeps us intoxicated, what keeps us
		
00:48:53 --> 00:49:00
			sedated as an anesthesia really that we're not
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:02
			feeling the pain of our hearts is the
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:04
			false promise of this dunya and Shaitaan.
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:06
			We keep saying tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll get this,
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08
			I'll get this, I'll get that, I'll buy
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:08
			this, I'll buy that.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:10
			It will get better, it will get better.
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13
			Yeah, all lies and lies.
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			Waladayna mazid.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:20
			So they will get whatever they wish, they
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:21
			get it instantly.
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:22
			Waladayna mazid.
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:24
			Allah says, even there are things you don't
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			know so you don't even wish.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:29
			There are greater things that you could never
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31
			ever think about or come up even with
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:32
			a thought about or a notion of.
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:36
			Allah himself is going to give you those
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38
			things that are sweeter than what you know,
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:39
			that are sweeter than what you wish.
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:41
			So what you wish is one story, but
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:44
			the greatest story is what you don't know
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:46
			so you don't wish for.
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:48
			It doesn't even occur to you, Allah is
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:49
			going to give it to you.
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:54
			And the greatest of those is to be
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:57
			given the honor of again looking at the
		
00:49:57 --> 00:50:00
			countenance and the face of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:00
			ta'ala.
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:04
			Because when people of Jannah are given this
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:07
			privilege, they will forget everything they have in
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:07
			Jannah.
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09
			They will lose everything.
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:14
			They will lose themselves in what they are
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:16
			seeing, in the moment.
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:20
			And they would never be given anything sweeter
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:22
			to them and better than this.
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:27
			Okay, let's read this next part.
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			Because it does give a context.
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:35
			This
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:46
			has
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:47
			to do with the heart.
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:52
			So maybe next week also we'll bring up
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:53
			some good points here.
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			Here Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, warning
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:10
			the polytheists who rejected the Messenger salallahu alayhi
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:12
			wa sallam, how many nations we destroyed.
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:14
			That is, we destroyed many nations.
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:19
			Before them Quraysh, who were stronger in power
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:19
			than them.
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			That is, they were more powerful than them
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:24
			and left a greater mark on the land.
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:27
			Hence, he says, they ventured through my lands.
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:29
			That is, in various lands they built strong
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:33
			fortresses and tall buildings, planted trees, dug channels,
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36
			formed the land and constructed and destroyed much.
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:39
			But when they rejected the Messengers of Allah
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:42
			and denied His signs, Allah afflicted them with
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:44
			a painful and severe punishment.
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:46
			But did they find any escape?
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:48
			They had no escape from the punishment of
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:50
			Allah when it befell them.
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:52
			And they had no one to save them.
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:55
			Their strength, wealth and children did not avail
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:56
			them anything.
		
00:52:57 --> 00:52:59
			Verily in that is a reminder for anyone
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:00
			who understands.
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:02
			That is, who has a mind that is
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:05
			active, alert and smart and who has pure
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:05
			intentions.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:08
			Such a person, if he sees any of
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:10
			Allah's signs, will pay heed to them and
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:12
			will benefit from them and be able to
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:13
			advance.
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:16
			The same applies to one who listens attentively
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:19
			to the revelations of Allah and listens to
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:21
			them by way of seeking guidance from them
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:22
			with a presence of mind.
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:24
			For such a person, there is also a
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:27
			reminder, exhortation, healing and guidance.
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:29
			But as for the one who turns away
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:31
			and does not lend an ear to the
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:34
			revelations, they will not benefit him at all,
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:38
			because he is not receptive and the wisdom
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:40
			of Allah did not dictate that such a
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:41
			person should be guided.
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:44
			Okay, so just briefly, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:46
			'ala is saying, is drawing their attention to
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			previous nations, how we destroyed them.
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:53
			They had great civilizations and great achievements, but
		
00:53:53 --> 00:53:55
			eventually, because they disbelieved, Allah destroyed them.
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:58
			At the time that Allah chose, many people
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:00
			think, why doesn't Allah destroy this nation, that
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:01
			nation?
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:03
			Allah knows what He is doing and Allah
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:06
			is not going to act by our haste
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:09
			or our foolishness, the foolishness of our thinking.
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:10
			Allah knows.
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:14
			Allah knows, do your work and let Allah
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:16
			subhanahu wa ta'ala do what He knows
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:17
			how to do it, right?
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:21
			So Allah will destroy.
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:24
			And this, then He says, there is clear
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:27
			reminder in this for a person who has
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:30
			a heart, meaning the heart is alive, it's
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:30
			not dead.
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:34
			When the heart is alive, it perceives, it
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:37
			sees, it learns, it reflects and it takes
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:37
			lessons.
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:39
			But when it's dead, it doesn't.
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:40
			It doesn't.
		
00:54:41 --> 00:54:42
			So it's blind.
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:48
			Allah is a shaheed, always paid attention and
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:50
			listened in order to try to revive his
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:52
			heart with what he hears.
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:53
			Ibn al-Qayyim at the beginning of his
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:56
			book Al-Fawahid, he actually spends maybe four
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:59
			or five pages just talking about specifically what
		
00:54:59 --> 00:55:01
			does it mean, he who has a heart
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:02
			or he who pays attention.
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:05
			Just to explain what this means, very profound,
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:06
			beautiful explanation.
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:08
			InshaAllah maybe next week we can just give
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:11
			a summary of it and then I think
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:13
			next week inshaAllah we'll complete the surah and
		
00:55:13 --> 00:55:16
			then we'll move on to surah Al-Hujurat.
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:21
			We can take one or two quick questions
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:24
			before Adhan Al-Isha'il.
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:35
			Question related to, would Muslims stay in hellfire
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:35
			forever?
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:38
			A Muslim stay in the hellfire forever?
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:38
			No.
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:40
			Only the disbelievers.
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			Because Allah eventually says whoever has an atom's
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:46
			weight of Iman from the people who enter
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:49
			the hellfire, Allah will bring them out and
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:50
			enter them into Jannah.
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:33
			Many people do good deeds out of fear
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:34
			of punishment.
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:36
			That's part of Iman.
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:42
			But if someone, that's their only strategy, it's
		
00:56:42 --> 00:56:43
			very hard to sustain this.
		
00:56:44 --> 00:56:45
			Very very hard to sustain this.
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:46
			Almost impossible.
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:48
			The heart is created to love Allah.
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:53
			So like, it really makes it hard how
		
00:56:53 --> 00:56:55
			someone could believe so much in the hellfire
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:58
			but fail to see Allah with their hearts.
		
00:56:58 --> 00:57:00
			So you can see the hellfire and you're
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:01
			obsessed with it but you can't see the
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:03
			glory of Allah who is far greater than
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:04
			the hellfire.
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:06
			There's something off there, right?
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:08
			So fear is part of, is definitely, fear
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:10
			of the punishment is one of the tools.
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:13
			But if it's the only tool or the
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:17
			main tool, you know, there is most likely,
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:20
			a person cannot sustain this and most likely
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:20
			there is something wrong.
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:23
			What does the person need to do?
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:25
			Just, you know, turn to Allah.
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:27
			Always people say, how can I do this?
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:28
			How can I?
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:29
			Turn to Allah.
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:29
			Dua.
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:30
			Let Dua be your first.
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:32
			Your heart is in the hands of Allah.
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:35
			Ask Allah, O Allah, open my heart.
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:36
			O Allah, turn my heart towards you.
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:38
			O Allah, let my heart open up to
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:39
			your love.
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:42
			Keep doing this and Allah will not let
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:42
			you down.
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:43
			That's it.
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:44
			But don't rely on yourself.
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:46
			You can't make it to Jannah by yourself.
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:47
			You can't fix your heart by yourself.
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:50
			You need to ask Allah and you need
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:51
			to rely on Allah.
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:52
			That's the strategy.
