00:01:54 -->
00:02:43
Mashallah, Mashallah, my brothers and sisters, today we're talking about actions known in the Arabic
language and as an alumna, the deeds that we do, but there is a small issue that NEEDS CLARIFICATION
because there is a hadith where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, none of you shall
enter Paradise with your deeds. Have you heard that howdy? None of you will enter Paradise with your
deeds. Instead you will enter Paradise through the mercy of Allah alone. Have you heard that Hadith?
It's an authentic narration. So why are we talking about actions? That is a valid question. So it's
important for us to know my brothers, my sisters, none of us will enter
00:02:44 -->
00:03:31
through our deeds but rather than the mercy of Allah. Now, the question is, how do I gain the mercy
of Allah? That is the most important question when it comes to speaking about deeds. Because someone
might tell you don't bother doing deeds because as it is, you're only going to enter Paradise
through the mercy of Allah. So just ask for less mercy. So Allah says, If you want my mercy, you
need to do deeds, Allahu Akbar, Allah Subhana Allah, if you do the deeds, you will be invoking the
mercy of Allah, you will be getting seeking the mercy of Allah, for example, someone says none of
you are going to be getting to the other city with your own transport.
00:03:32 -->
00:04:15
None of you will get to the bow tomorrow with your own transport. One then what do I do? Do I just
stay here? No. You have to make an effort to get to the airport and use the public transport. So if
you didn't make the effort to get to the airport, forget about getting to your destination. Okay,
that might be a slightly different example. But it came to my mind now, but it is applicable to what
I'm saying because none of you will enter general with your own deeds. It's the mercy of Allah. So
how do I get to the mercy of Allah, Allah, Allah wants to see that you were trying your best. Allah
wants to see that you were doing your best you did your deeds. Let me give you an example. When you
00:04:15 -->
00:04:36
read Salah, I have a question for you. Anyone who has 100% concentration in Salah put up your hand,
when you say Allahu Akbar, there is nothing that you think about besides the exact Salah that you
are fulfilling. If you have 100% concentration in Salah put up your hands.
00:04:38 -->
00:04:45
Anyone? No one not even one. Okay, I might have missed the hand. Can you stand up if you have 100%
concentration in Salah?
00:04:47 -->
00:04:59
No one is standing right let me explain. But surely Allah requires a salon where you have 100%
concentration, but you're a human being so Allah says, Don't worry
00:05:00 -->
00:05:43
Try your best. If you have tried your best we will give you that Salah. But if you didn't try, you
won't get anything. If you did not do the deed, the Salah will be held against you for not having
been accomplished and fulfilled, right? You didn't do it. But if you did it Allah says just try your
best and then it is only because of my mercy that I will accept that Salah although there was not
100% concentration to see. So then you have a few people one who doesn't mean Salah, if you haven't
prayed at all, you have a problem. What's the problem? It's held against you, you didn't pray. But
if you prayed and your concentration was a little bit this way, that way, Allah says Don't worry
00:05:43 -->
00:06:03
about the fact that you did the deed with the correct intention and you tried your best. Now you
need to know my mercy will accept it and grant you that gentleness that you're looking for. So I
hope we understood the issue of importance of deeds even though it is only the mercy of Allah that's
going to take us to tender.
00:06:04 -->
00:06:28
If you haven't done the deeds, you will not receive the mercy of Allah. If you didn't do the deed,
how do you want to achieve the mercy of Allah? Because everywhere Allah subhanho wa Taala explains
to us through the Quran, through the Sunnah of Rasulullah saw that you know what your deeds are of
utmost importance, although it's my mercy that will grant acceptance to those deeds.
00:06:30 -->
00:06:31
For me,
00:06:38 -->
00:06:39
my name is
00:06:41 -->
00:07:12
Ronnie, whoever does a mustard seed wage worth of good shall see the D it's the D you did, whoever
did the deed will see it whoever did bad to the same weight will see the effect and the sin of that
bad. So this goes to show you that it's important for us to do and when we do one of the biggest
deeds that you can engage in is something known as
00:07:14 -->
00:07:30
seeking the forgiveness of Allah people underestimated and undervalue it. It is a huge deed it's an
act of worship Allah subhanho wa Taala has mercy is called upon by you saying Oh ALLAH forgive me.
It's a de amor it's an Allah Subhana Allah.
00:07:32 -->
00:07:45
So Allah subhana wa Taala tells this to us. Now if you look at the other narrations of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam that speak about your deeds and the importance of your deeds, I give you one or
two examples the problems or sentences in
00:07:51 -->
00:08:14
America, Allah subhanho wa Taala does not look at your outward image, your appearance, nor does he
look at your bodies and so on. You know this one okay, Mashallah. looking too good, let's go to
Paradise, that will never happen. You don't enter Paradise because of your looks. So Panama. I
wonder some people might think if that was the case, they would get away with a bit of makeup.
00:08:16 -->
00:08:45
No, you won't. You'll be happy with what Allah has provided you Subhana Allah, Allah says you will
not he does not look at your appearance, nor does he look at your body, what size it is how big it
is how well built you are, you can go to the gym 24 seven every day, you can have a 12 pack, let
alone a six pack. Each of those six can be divided into two definitions, Mashallah. But that doesn't
mean you're close to Allah. Allah doesn't look at that as for your benefit.
00:08:46 -->
00:09:26
In fact, the strange thing is, it just came to my mind. Now, when you do that, it's for people to
look at, but for a lot to look at. There is something else. Amazing, amazing. The outward
appearance, your makeup, your physique, your body, your size, you're worried about it because of
others looking at you. Hang on, that's for others to look at. for me. That's not what I'm going to
look at. I'm going to look at two things, your heart and your deeds, so you better have a good
heart, and you better have good deeds. Amazing. What's the point of having a diseased heart, when in
actual fact, you are so good looking. I've seen people who really look good, they're well built, but
00:09:26 -->
00:09:28
they have attitude that stinks.
00:09:29 -->
00:09:52
They speak to others without any form of respect. They address people as though they were God's gift
to mankind. But if you look at them, they look so so beautiful, so gorgeous, so handsome sometimes
so well built Mashallah. But you know what Allah subhanho wa Taala says, you want to please Allah
clean that heart of yours. This is why the Hadith says Allah.
00:09:53 -->
00:09:56
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah de Dooku
00:09:59 -->
00:09:59
and Avi
00:10:00 -->
00:10:46
Kung Fu. Behold, in the body there is an organ, a piece of flesh, that if it were pure, good, clean
it then the rest of the body is good, pure and clean. And if it is corrupt, sinful, dirty, then the
whole body will be corrupt, sinful and dirty. What is that organ? Behold, it is the heart, you clean
your heart. That's what Allah says, Allah. Allah will look at your heart. I call the new my brothers
and sisters today from this beautiful platform in Manila to connect the pearls, by cleansing your
heart. So Pamela, connect the pearls by cleansing your heart. When you want to connect pearls, you
will need a little chain to connect them. That chain needs to be clean. It needs to be good, it
00:10:46 -->
00:11:09
needs to be sweet. It needs to be full of compassion, and mercy and purity and sincerity. You
worship Allah, you worship Him alone. That's the first cleansing of the heart. Then when you treat
the rest of the creatures of the same Allah chicken with dignity with respect, because they are
creatures of Allah, they are part of your tests. If Allah didn't want them to be part of your tests,
he would not have made them.
00:11:11 -->
00:11:28
So Allah made you as a test for me and Allah made me as a test for you. So Pamela, advice and, and
so on, we could say the same for every creature of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Be careful what you
think. Be careful how you treat people, cleanse your heart, make it good thing good of others.
00:11:29 -->
00:11:30
And then he says,
00:11:31 -->
00:11:32
that's the last word in that had.
00:11:36 -->
00:12:18
The last word in the Hadith that can young guru Isla de como armonico. That's the last word, it
looks at your hearts and your deeds. So when Allah looks at your deeds, what happens? He sees that
you were trying, he sees that you were doing he sees that you you did not just sit back and relax,
but you use the energies that he gave you in order to try and achieve the best. And then that makes
him even more merciful towards you. So Panama. His mercy is unmatched. It is our highest possible
level. You and I know that the prophet SAW Selim has described the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
On many occasions, one occasion he was walking with his companions, and they passed by a woman who
00:12:18 -->
00:12:36
was breastfeeding her little baby and he asked them Do you see this woman casting this little baby
of hers into the fire? And they said no. So he says, well, ally is more merciful upon every one of
us. And this woman would ever be to this particular child.
00:12:39 -->
00:12:47
But to get that Mercy of Allah, please try. Keep trying. Keep invoking the mercy of Allah when
you're trying, you know, imagine
00:12:48 -->
00:13:10
something comes to my mind, I read a story where there was a father who beat up his son because the
son was scratching the vehicle of that particular father. Imagine you bought yourself a new car, and
your three year old is taking a stone and carving something on the door of your car. Mashallah. So
the father beat the child up.
00:13:12 -->
00:13:20
And what happened later on they discovered after the child was injured and hurt and perhaps it went
even beyond that, they discovered what was written I love you, dad.
00:13:21 -->
00:13:27
I love you, dad. On what on the car. Little innocent child doesn't even know what kind of love
00:13:28 -->
00:13:30
Well, you know what?
00:13:31 -->
00:13:54
The father felt mercy upon the child after he saw what was written but what was written was actually
written in the wrong place. Now, the reason I give you this example is I want you to know when it
comes to deeds, there is a difference you're not allowed to just take a stone and scrape somewhere
and write I love you allow
00:13:55 -->
00:14:01
on somebody's car, or maybe on the on the sand somewhere and think that Oh, that's a big
00:14:03 -->
00:14:22
mercy on me. Because in order to invoke the mercy of Allah to call upon it, you need to follow the
Sunnah of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and the way shown by him because he came from Allah. Allah
told you what to do by sending you a messenger. That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala says
00:14:28 -->
00:14:50
masuleh long verse, the beginning of it is Allah has indeed faded the believers by sending to them a
messenger from amongst them. It's a favor. Allah tells you what he wants, how are you going to end
the mercy of Allah well act duties, what deeds should I do? You know, if your father tells you do a
deep, you get my mercy.
00:14:51 -->
00:14:59
You're going to tell you that what did right. What did he want me to do? The father says, Okay, do
this and you do that.
00:15:01 -->
00:15:15
with Allah subhanho wa Taala it's more important because if you associate partners with him, he
becomes angry suprema he doesn't want you to worship anyone besides Him. Your maker
00:15:16 -->
00:15:21
is the one who is owed worship. Listen to this visit Allah, Allah who will help.
00:15:22 -->
00:15:32
You know one of the interpretations of the verse, Allah says, indeed, for him is the matter of
creation. And
00:15:33 -->
00:15:37
so therefore, he has the right to instruct Well,
00:15:38 -->
00:15:46
one of the beautiful translations of this was the one who created has the right to instruct well,
because he created amazing he
00:15:48 -->
00:16:28
was the one who created is the one who owns the instruction as well straight. Why does Allah have
the right to instruct me to do what he wants me to do? Because he made me Come on, he made me so he
has every right to tell me you're gonna stand this way. You're gonna bow this way. When you bow in
ruku you're gonna say this, then you're gonna get up, then you're gonna go down in that particular
order. You must do it in that order. When you go down You must Humble yourself to mean meaning to
Allah subhanho wa Taala and you will say the following. So that's what you will say no change to it.
Nothing, some kind of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Grant us a deep understanding. When you try to do
00:16:28 -->
00:16:33
this. Allah says Allah Subhana Allah my worship is actually trying.
00:16:34 -->
00:16:55
When you see the forgiveness of Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, to his work to His angels, look
at my worship is seeking my forgiveness. You know, there is a narration of the prophets of Salaam
which I derive lots of comfort from. I share it with you today. A man commits a sin. He seeks
forgiveness and love forgives him.
00:16:57 -->
00:17:01
Now, when you seek forgiveness, you have to promise that you're not going to do the sin again.
00:17:02 -->
00:17:42
Say for example, I was involved in a sin. We're all human. We're all committed sin. If I was
involved in a sin and I say, Oh Allah, forgive me. Well, there are certain conditions and law tells
us You want my mercy you need to do a deed known as seeking that forgiveness property. So number
one, you must regret your sin regretting all I regret what I did, I admit what I did. I seek your
forgiveness. That's number three. And I promise you not to do it again. Number four, once four
conditions are met, Mashallah you have called upon the mercy of Allah, Allah says, I have forgiven
you never ever has Allah says, We reject those who seek forgiveness not once in the Quran or in the
00:17:42 -->
00:17:48
sooner does it say that Allah says that we will not forgive those who seek forgiveness.
00:17:49 -->
00:17:55
In fact, the Quran has a verse that is known as the West which has the most mercy in it.
00:18:02 -->
00:18:04
Mattila in,
00:18:07 -->
00:18:08
in
00:18:11 -->
00:18:13
sort of the Zoomer Allah says, say,
00:18:15 -->
00:18:56
Tell my worshipers tell my worshipers who have committed sin against themselves. Those who have
wronged themselves, tell them never lose hope in the mercy of Allah. For Indeed, Allah is most
forgiving, Most Merciful. He will forgive all your sins, all of them. develop a relationship with
Allah, you don't need to come to me to confess your sin. You don't need to go to another person to
confess confess a sin, you need to confess it to Allah alone in the darkness of the night or in the
brightness of the day. You need to make sure that you have done that deed when you seek the
forgiveness of Allah, He will forgive you. So here is the man who seeks forgiveness of Allah
00:18:56 -->
00:19:01
promising never to do it again. But somehow he fell into it again.
00:19:03 -->
00:19:26
It happens to us we seek the forgiveness of Allah Allah, I'm never going to commit the sin again.
After two, three years, sometimes you find yourself committing the same sin again because you're a
human being. So what happens immediately he seeks the forgiveness of Allah again, Oh ALLAH forgive
me. I admit I regret I did wrong, forgive me. I'm never going to do it again. He did. He was
forgiven by Allah second time.
00:19:28 -->
00:19:37
And after some time, he commits the same sin again. So Pamela, and you know what? He seeks the
forgiveness of Allah for a third time. Allah tells the angels it might have
00:19:39 -->
00:19:39
been
00:19:41 -->
00:19:41
a bit
00:19:42 -->
00:19:45
pushy to come to
00:19:47 -->
00:19:55
my worship and now knows that he has a lord who can either punish him or forgive him. I want you to
bear witness that I have forgiven him completely
00:19:58 -->
00:19:59
at the mercy of Allah
00:20:00 -->
00:20:02
This is a worshipper of mine. What does he recognize?
00:20:04 -->
00:20:13
He recognizes that he has a lord who can punish Allah subhanho wa Taala says, if you do bad deeds,
you will be punished.
00:20:15 -->
00:20:18
And Allah subhanho wa Taala says, if you do good deeds,
00:20:19 -->
00:20:22
you will see the goodness of your deeds.
00:20:25 -->
00:20:42
So this is the mercy of Allah where he says my worship finally knows that he has a lord who can do
this or that I want you to bear witness that I have forgiven him completely forgiven. So Panama May
Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive us. So
00:20:43 -->
00:20:55
Allah subhanho wa Taala says something very interesting in the Quran. It's one of the most important
verses. He says, in Allah Allah.
00:21:06 -->
00:21:55
Allah subhanho wa Taala will never forgive sheep, he will never forgive those who worship deities
with him or besides him. He will never forgive association of partnership with him. But besides
that, he will forgive anything he wishes to forgive. Many of us don't understand the interpretation
of that verse. Some people think it means that when you achieve there is no trauma for you. There is
no seeking of forgiveness for you know, my brothers, my sisters, this verse is referring to those
who die upon the condition where they have not sought forgiveness from the sins they have committed.
So that which is in association of partnership with Allah is in one category. It is in a category
00:21:55 -->
00:22:18
where Allah says, Listen, this, I don't want to forgive it. But anything else that was committed,
and you did not seek the forgiveness of Allah and you died in that condition for as long as you did
not associate partners with Allah subhanho wa Taala, the mercy of Allah may dictate, it may dictate
that he wants to forgive you completely, and he doesn't care and he doesn't mind.
00:22:21 -->
00:22:45
And what is the evidence of what I've just said, Now, the Sahaba themselves, the bulk of those in
Makkah, were pure mushriks before they accepted Islam, remember that they worship sticks and stones
and idols and everything else besides Allah, what happened? Did they lose hope to say, Oh, I
committed chili so there's no forgiveness for me. They accepted Islam, the military accepted Islam
and Islam.
00:22:47 -->
00:23:24
Islam deletes that with bad which you did before it, the good is carried forward, the bad is
deleted. It's better than the day you were born. The day you were born, there was no good nor bad.
The day you accepted Islam the good continues, the bat is deleted. The same applies when you make
hash. The same applies when you engage in Toba. When you seek the forgiveness of Allah, Allah says,
I will forgive you, how does Allah forgive you? He doesn't give you a clean slate. No, he deletes
the bad but the good continues to love so much so that sometimes he actually changes the bad into
good.
00:23:25 -->
00:23:27
Have you ever heard that verse?
00:23:46 -->
00:23:51
says, Those who have sought forgiveness from their sins?
00:23:53 -->
00:24:34
You know what, if they did good deeds there after if they change their lives after seeking
forgiveness, Allah says for those because of their good deeds, because they did good deeds after
they sought the forgiveness of Allah. You see, when you seek the forgiveness of Allah, He forgives
you. But when you seek the forgiveness of Allah and change your life, then he takes those bad deeds.
He says bring them here, bring them here, we will convert these bad deeds into good deeds and put
them on the right side of the scale on the Day of Judgment. Let this person see that even the bad
they did if it led him to do the best of deeds thereafter, we are going to say those were actually
00:24:34 -->
00:24:55
good deeds. It's okay. It's a bonus from us. Why? Because of your deeds. That's our topic. Look at
how the deeds have invoked the mercy of Allah the deeds have brought forth the mercy of Allah
because you did deeds after seeking the forgiveness of Allah. That's why I tell people who says if I
seek the forgiveness of Allah, will I have a clean, clean slate? No, you won't.
00:24:56 -->
00:24:59
You won't. You will have better than a clean slate.
00:25:00 -->
00:25:09
Why when you say clean slate, it means you format the hard drive. You know when a person has cancer,
may Allah subhanho wa Taala cure all those who have any disease. I mean,
00:25:10 -->
00:25:24
when you do chemotherapy, what does it do for you? It destroys the good and the bad, everything is
gone. it restarts it. It's like when you restore factory settings on your phone or your contacts and
everything good is also gone.
00:25:26 -->
00:25:34
But there needs to be a way where you can select a few things you want to keep and the rescue
formatted. Right? A lot does that for you?
00:25:36 -->
00:25:37
Some people say
00:25:39 -->
00:26:02
that Allah subhanho wa Taala is not merciful. How can that happen? How can we think that? How can we
think that He is the Most Merciful he will give you a bonus so much so that Allah says, You know
what? When you do a deed, and you can bring it with you on the Day of Judgment, my mercy will
multiply for you by 10. And even more than 10.
00:26:12 -->
00:26:59
Who ever come comes on the day of judgment? Notice the word Jah Jah is a very, very important word
for me. It is the most important word in that verse is Java. Why Java? Because Allah didn't say
whoever does the deed. Allah didn't say, Minami Allah. But he says whoever comes with the deed, it
means they did it and they protected it. Those are the two things I'm talking about when you want to
earn the mercy of Allah. You don't just do the job but you do the deeds after the top of your life
change. In that case bonus for you Mashallah, you have a lot So, if you did the deed, I read my
Salah many times, my brothers, my sisters, we are doing a deed but we spoil the reward of the game
00:26:59 -->
00:27:16
and donate it to someone else before we've even walked out of the masjid because we started
backbiting as we were walking out, he says, look at that, brother. He looks so arrogant. What
happened? That statement that you made before you walked out resulted in your deep being lost? So
will you
00:27:18 -->
00:27:19
try No.
00:27:22 -->
00:27:25
You did the good deed, but that good thing went to someone else.
00:27:26 -->
00:27:32
Some people go for Hajj. They give charities that gives a guy they make songs aka the Hadith speaks
about.
00:27:33 -->
00:27:44
A person who's bankrupt is one who does a lot of good deeds, but they have not invoked the mercy of
Allah by protecting the deed. That's why we say your deeds are divided into two
00:27:45 -->
00:28:00
that the acts of worship are solely and only for Allah, but some of them are connected to other
human beings. And if it is done for the sake of Allah, it becomes a deed that will bring about the
mercy of Allah.
00:28:02 -->
00:28:28
It's your deeds, it is definitely your deeds and your deeds alone. I explained to you my Salah is
for Allah, what else? My heart is for Allah what else my Shahada is for Allah What else? My soul is
for Allah? What about my xhaka it's for Allah, I helped someone in the process. If I think I helped
you, you now owe me Carlos, my deed is over. But I helped you for the pleasure of Allah. I love this
verse one law who you hit one machine in Allah.
00:28:29 -->
00:28:38
Allah loves those who do good. Allah loves those who do good. Have we heard that verse? Allah loves
those who do good. Have you heard the verse? Okay.
00:28:39 -->
00:29:09
When you do good to someone, why are you doing the good to them? Because they are good to you. So
you do good to them. It's called ticks for tat. Right? Just for tax. They did good. I did good. Are
you prepared to do good to those who haven't even done good to see you? Are you ready? Why? Because
Allah loves those who do good. So if they don't do good to me, I'm gonna say Oh Allah, you watch
this. I'm going to show you just for your sake, I'm going to be good to this person. And you know
what, they are not good to me. But it's okay. So you greet them Santa Monica and they look at you
and
00:29:11 -->
00:29:39
they give you a dirty look. But you're happy you're not sad. You're not depressed because you didn't
do it for them in the first place. You did it for Allah, your reward is registered with Allah and
it's done and it's over. SubhanAllah change your attitude. change your attitude, do deeds for the
sake of Allah when you gave someone something when you help someone when you help someone cross the
road, when you were saying to people, you were kind to them, yes. But for the sake of Allah, I don't
want something from you in return. That's why
00:29:40 -->
00:29:41
Allah says
00:29:52 -->
00:30:00
when we feed you, we have value for the sake of Allah. We don't want to recompense from you, nor do
we want to thank you from you. We don't
00:30:00 -->
00:30:13
Want, appreciation gratitude from if it comes, it comes for the sake of Allah when someone does good
to you. Now this is the other way around. I was talking about we doing good to someone but when
someone does good to you,
00:30:14 -->
00:30:27
you must show gratitude because you're among many. That's why. Because in order to show gratitude to
Allah, you need to show gratitude to those in front of you who Allah has chosen to do that good to
you. Amazing.
00:30:28 -->
00:30:42
So this is Allah, this is the importance of the deeds that we have. Look at how I told you that
Allah converts the deeds into good deeds Subhan Allah, Allah converts them those bad Why? Because of
the MLM Allah
00:30:44 -->
00:30:48
salia the one who did the good deeds after the tober
00:30:49 -->
00:31:11
that person deserves a big reward greater what Allah says we'll give it to you. We're looking for
it. Now let's get to this howdy howdy, Pucci that we're speaking about today. Remember, the theme is
actions. So, the final part of this again, it's a nice long ad. And the topic is connected only to
the last sentence of that ad. You're embodying number here.
00:31:14 -->
00:31:15
From a
00:31:18 -->
00:31:18
woman who
00:31:24 -->
00:31:32
is Muslim and in other books of Hadith, the prophet SAW Selim says that Allah Almighty has said the
following.
00:31:35 -->
00:31:47
That's good. See, when you hear the word good See, it means the prophets of Salaam is narrating to
us what Allah said in a version that is not for Allah.
00:31:49 -->
00:32:00
See the difference? When Allah speaks to us through the Quran, those are the words of Allah cannot
be changed cannot be altered. You read them in Salah I cannot read the Hadith bootsy in Salah I
cannot say.
00:32:02 -->
00:32:03
Then I say Yeah.
00:32:05 -->
00:32:12
No, no, no, I cannot do that. Why? Because that's not the deed that we were taught. But it's the
word of Allah explained by an
00:32:15 -->
00:32:31
ad narrated by Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam but coming from Allah. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
and I'm going to translate the last part first, he says, Oh, my worshippers. Indeed, it is your
deeds, that I
00:32:33 -->
00:32:45
will recommend you with your deeds. The reckoning is happening with your deeds. My brothers and my
sisters, Allah is saying, Oh, my worship is your deeds, you shall be reckoned by.
00:32:47 -->
00:32:57
When he says famine, what are the hiren magilla whoever finds goodness, whoever finds goodness
should thank Allah.
00:32:58 -->
00:33:42
On the day of judgment, your book will come written by whom? by you, you wrote your book. So write
it well. You are still writing your book, you are alive, your book is being written. If you've made
mistakes in your book, well, when you go through that book, and you're doing the proofreading, and
the fine print, and whatever else, those of you who might be authors know how many times you're
going to go through the book and how many people you give to check the book for you what well, when
it comes to your most important book of your life, you can still delete the errors that have been
made by what forgiveness of Allah, do more deeds, do cookies. Write a beautiful chapter every day in
00:33:42 -->
00:34:00
your book. If you write a lovely chapter, every day you smile at someone you help someone you did
your Salah, you didn't miss you dressed appropriately, you stayed away from how long you stayed away
from sin and abomination and toxic things and what have you, what are you doing, you're writing a
beautiful chapter, when the day ends, the chapter is plugged in.
00:34:02 -->
00:34:17
When the day ends, the chapter is plugged in, I was reading another Hadith. In Sahih, German, where
the prophet SAW Selim says about the angels that you know the angels on the left and the right. This
is another very, very powerful idea.
00:34:18 -->
00:34:41
The angels of goodness that write good on the right side, the angels that write the back that you do
on the left side, the angels of the right are actually in charge of the angels on the left. So when
you do a good deed, it's written immediately. But when you do a bad deed, do you know what happens?
The angels on the right tell the angels on the left? Don't write it yet. Perhaps this person will
seek forgiveness just for now.
00:34:43 -->
00:34:55
A little while later, the angels on the left say can we write the deed? The angels on the right who
are in charge? They say no, not yet. Perhaps this person will see forgiveness just now. That's the
second time.
00:34:56 -->
00:34:59
A little while later, the angels on the left asked the angels on the right can
00:35:00 -->
00:35:01
Right the deed.
00:35:02 -->
00:35:28
They say no, he is. Perhaps he will seek forgiveness before he sleeps before he reclines to his bed.
And when the worshiper has reclined to his bed without seeking the forgiveness of Allah, then the
angel say write it down we gave him the chance the deed is written. Now Allah Subhana Allah forgive
us look at the mercy of Allah, you do a good deed it's written.
00:35:30 -->
00:35:39
You do a bad deed is a small time before you can actually before the deed is actually written
against you, you're given a chance to seek Toba. And like I said, this
00:35:40 -->
00:35:42
is in German.
00:35:44 -->
00:35:54
My brothers and sisters, that is the mercy of Allah, but it's your deeds, your deeds that make you
and the mercy of Allah. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Whoever sees
00:36:01 -->
00:36:02
me.
00:36:08 -->
00:36:36
As for the one who's given the book on the right hand on that day, the book of what the book of
deeds is called the book of deeds. As for the one who has been given the Book of deeds on the right,
he or she will say, read my book, I'm happy. On that day you have the right to be proud, proud of
your achievement. In the dunya, there's no pride on that day. The pride is not a negative pride,
it's more a happiness.
00:36:38 -->
00:36:38
Subhana Allah.
00:36:40 -->
00:37:10
So this hadith footsy says, those who find goodness should thank Allah and those who find otherwise.
Now, if you've heard me speak in some of my speeches, when I speak of jahannam and Hellfire, a lot
of the times I I don't call it jahannam or hellfire. I don't know if you noticed, I'll let you in on
something based on the study. I always say, if you do good, you will get paradise. And if you do
bad, perhaps,
00:37:12 -->
00:37:18
perhaps what? If you do good you will get paradise? Perhaps you will find yourself elsewhere?
00:37:20 -->
00:37:42
Perhaps you have you heard me say that. A lot of times I've said this, perhaps we use the word
elsewhere somewhere else, something else because you know what we're referring to. But because we
are hopeful of the mercy of Allah, sometimes we don't want to say it. Just in order to instill hope
in the in the hearts of the people taken from this
00:37:43 -->
00:37:44
era donica.
00:37:46 -->
00:38:28
Allah says, On one hand, whoever does good to thank Allah because they're going to see the goodness
and whoever found anything besides that should only blame himself or herself. Wow, what Mercy of
Allah. Allah didn't say whoever finds bad should blame himself. Allah says, If you found good in
your work, you must thank Allah and if you found anything besides that, then you have no one to
blame besides yourself. That's what the honey says. Bella, help us to do good deeds. So that was the
last part of the honey. It goes to show the power it goes to show how important deeds are the power
of these deeds when it comes to calling on the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala
00:38:29 -->
00:38:39
Let me take you to the first part of that Hadith, although it's not part of our topic, but it's the
same Howdy, howdy bootsy. It starts off by saying Yeah, a baggie in the
00:38:43 -->
00:39:02
Roman Villa de la la mo Oh my worshippers. Allah is saying, I have prohibited wrongdoing and
oppression upon myself upon myself. So do not oppress one another do not run one another avant would
refer to injustice and any form of evil and oppression is called.
00:39:04 -->
00:39:25
So unlike saying oh my worshippers I'm not going to wrong you I'm not going to oppress you and I
don't oppress anyone and I have prohibited oppression upon myself. So you do not oppress each other
Don't be bad to each other, be good, be kind be just etc, etc. Yeah, anybody Oh my worshippers, coo
coo
00:39:28 -->
00:39:51
coo festa. dunia Deacon Oh, my worship is all of you are astray except those whom I have guided. So
seek my guidance and I will guide you. powerful words from Allah showing you that Allah is in
control. When I started off here, I said he who is in absolute control of every aspect of existence.
00:39:52 -->
00:40:00
You want guidance to things need to happen. You need to try and use the capacity and capability
given to you
00:40:00 -->
00:40:06
By Allah to search for the guidance and to ask for the guidance, and secondly
00:40:07 -->
00:40:11
number one is to search for it. And number two is to ask for the guidance.
00:40:12 -->
00:40:49
So, the strength and energy I have Where is it from? It's given to me by Allah. So what should I use
it for to search what Allah asked me to search for, and searching for the guidance today you are
here. You could have been anywhere else you could have gone to the malls and the balls wherever else
you wanted to go. entertain yourself on a Sunday, but you chose to use the capacity given to you by
Allah to contribute towards this event. May Allah accept it from you and to come to this event. May
Allah forgive you and I am transgender. I mean, say I mean
00:40:52 -->
00:41:11
so what did you do? You didn't just sit at home and say Oh Allah guide me. Allah guide me alone.
Allah says I gave you the energy Okay, we will guide you make an effort. Get up use the power we
gave you and we asked you to go and to do X, Y and Z you didn't Mashallah, if you did it. Good news.
Allah says what levena had
00:41:15 -->
00:41:43
those who strive and struggle in our cause to come to us, we will open the doors of guidance for
them. Allah will not open the doors of guidance for a person who doesn't try he doesn't even look
for the guidance. He doesn't even want it. Allah says you want guidance, well work towards it, try
to achieve it you have to do the try we will do the rest. You have to try we do the rest. That's why
every single day we say in our
00:41:45 -->
00:42:02
team in every unit of Salah not in every Salah in every unit of Salah we're asking Allah Guide us to
the straight path guide us to the St. Paul guidance to the St. Paul's why because that guidance
Allah alone owns it he says Koo Kumba in lamb and
00:42:03 -->
00:42:13
dooney all of you are a stray except those whom I am guided. So seek my guidance and I will guide
you hence we say inner
00:42:14 -->
00:42:15
guidance to
00:42:16 -->
00:42:24
guide us to that. Then the Hadid continues to say, Look I'm I'm in love and COSATU fasttech Sunni,
00:42:25 -->
00:42:26
all of you are
00:42:28 -->
00:42:42
*, naked and clothed except those whom I have clothed, whom I have covered. So seek that cover
that clothing from me and I will cover you some kind of love. You know *.
00:42:44 -->
00:43:00
When we say *, those who are unclothed, those who are exposed, who will come in from that
exposure Allah, so seek cover from Allah He will cover whether it is covering your body or your
false or both.
00:43:01 -->
00:43:04
Seek it from Allah, Allahu mastana.
00:43:07 -->
00:43:31
In fact, when it comes to kiswa, when it comes to the term that is used, it is referring to your
clothing, more than your dignity and anything else. But a deeper meaning would also include being
exposed. So we seek from Allah because Allah is the one who will cover you. Allah is the one who
will grant you, Allah is the one who will close you.
00:43:34 -->
00:43:36
Yeah, anybody can look him
00:43:37 -->
00:43:39
up upon to first of
00:43:40 -->
00:44:28
all my worshipers. All of you are hungry besides those whom I have granted food to so seek food from
me and I will feed you a lot about it means food and clothing, accommodation, everything is from
Allah. thank Allah for what he gave you by doing deeds. And by thanking him verbally as well. If you
don't thank him, he may take away what he's granted you how many people have had homes and houses
and ownership of property and land and overnight in a second it was gone. Whether it was an
earthquake and tsunami, a natural disaster, whatever else or just a deal that's gone sour overnight,
from riches to rags. We've heard so many of those stories, but do we take heed? The answer is
00:44:28 -->
00:44:31
unfortunately, not as we should.
00:44:33 -->
00:44:59
Take heed my brothers and sisters, do your deeds. Let's do deeds for the sake of Allah. And the good
sign that your deeds are being accepted by Allah is that your deeds bring about humility and
humbleness within you. If I'm fulfilling salah and I'm arrogant on my way out, there's something
wrong with my Salah because Salah itself should prohibit you from fascia and mooncup from that which
is evil, sinful and immoral.
00:45:00 -->
00:45:11
So if your Salah is not preventing you from that which is evil, immoral and sinful, there is
something wrong with your deeds, change yourself, do your deeds and become humble.
00:45:13 -->
00:45:54
Those of us who cover properly those of us who are an everyday those of us who eat five Salah a day,
watch your attitude because that is the trap door of shavon. He traps you through that. That's the
hardest I spoke about earlier, the Hadith of the Bank of person who comes with a lot of deeds, but
they have wronged this one and cheated that one and deceived that one in the wealth of this one. So
their good deeds are given and they are taken and given to those who who were wronged such that no
more good deeds left. So the bad deeds of those who are remaining are actually now going on to this
person to Panama. That's why we say my brothers my sisters, Mangia. I've been Hashanah fella, wash
00:45:54 -->
00:46:11
Manzanita, whoever brings a good deed on the Day of Judgment, and it was not taken away by bad that
they did against someone that it was dished out to someone else. You were able to protect your deed
after you did it. Allah says we're going to multiply it for you by 10 and even more than 10
00:46:12 -->
00:46:29
Now do you understand what is meant by coming with a good deal? Subhanallah you come with it not we
don't just do it. You do it and you protect it after you do it like a jewel. You make sure that you
have surrounded it properly. No one must take my deal. People are backed by to say I'm not
backbiting you walk away with your deeds.
00:46:30 -->
00:47:00
But people were backbiting in the back between them What did you do your Salah when you're sick or
when you had when everything is gone? You walk out but nobody's left so Panama What happened? You
didn't Be careful you didn't you had Susan when when people spoke about others you thought the worst
of them what's wrong, your heart needs to be cleansed. In we speak about kulu because your hearts
earlier on the deeds of the heart. So we spoke about that earlier today. So May Allah subhanho wa
Taala grant us an understanding.
00:47:01 -->
00:47:24
And this is why I want to end this beautiful Hadith with the problem with the prophets of Salaam
says that Allah subhanho wa Taala says oh my worshippers, you will never be able to harm me no
matter what you do. And oh my worshippers, you will never be able to benefit me no matter what you
do. Oh, my worship is evil. All of you were as pious as the most pious person's heart on Earth.
00:47:25 -->
00:48:03
It would not increase me in anything. And oh, my worship as if all of you were as simple as the most
sinful hearts on Earth. You would not decrease from my kingdom and my property and for me anything.
Allah is showing you how powerful he is. You do teach it for yourself, not for Allah. When I worship
Allah, it's not going to increase value. When I don't worship Allah, it's not going to decrease
Alice value it's doing with it's to do with my value. Me and I Subhana Allah, so do your deeds,
because it's you. Then you know what Allah subhanho wa Taala says, amazing mela blesses me.
00:48:04 -->
00:48:40
All my worshippers. If from the beginning, the first person right up to the end, the last person,
all of you were together in one place, and every single one of you were to ask me whatever he or she
wanted from the beginning right up to the end, and I were to give every single one of you whatever
he or she wanted, it would not displace from my kingdom at ownership, except that which a needle
would displace when it is put into the ocean.
00:48:41 -->
00:49:12
So Panama, you understand the kingdom of Allah. Allah is showing us who is the owner? Who is the
boss, Allah is showing us who is the supreme, who is the inevitable, who is the maker, the power of
the Creator, the power of the one we are going to return to, he says, all of you, not just you on
earth today, the 678 10 billion whoever and how many ever, not just you, the trillions who existed
from the time of Adam, the gazillions,
00:49:14 -->
00:49:20
the Philippine millions that existed to Panama. Sorry, that's just the number I created because we
didn't Philippines.
00:49:23 -->
00:50:00
From the time of Adam going all the way down to the end of time, if everyone was gathered in one
place, and Allah gave every single one of you what you asked for what you wanted, everything you
wanted, was given to you. Allah says, You know what, it will not displace from our ownership,
anything. That's what he's saying. The example he gives only by way of example, not that he
displaced anything at all, but just to show you and I that, you know what, when you throw a needle
in an ocean, how much water is displaced? Well, you know what, that is, what the example is given.
If Allah were to give every
00:50:00 -->
00:50:16
on everything, it would not displace except that much, which means nothing. Nothing. That's what it
means it would displace zero. When you put a needle in an ocean, it displaces nothing, actually.
It's irrelevant. It's negligible, totally negligible.
00:50:17 -->
00:50:23
And yet we think we're a big deal. And we think we don't have to do deeds. So can I end with one
beautiful example?
00:50:25 -->
00:50:30
A true story, my brothers and sisters, you, I'm sure have visited remote parts of your country.
00:50:31 -->
00:50:34
I have visited remote parts of Africa
00:50:36 -->
00:50:44
will lie. I have seen people who have nothing, nothing, no house, no clothing, meaning
00:50:46 -->
00:50:50
very, very, very little food. They don't know where it's going to come from.
00:50:51 -->
00:51:03
And I've seen them so happy and so content, no phones, no gadgets, no makeup, no perfume, no
accessories, no handbags, no cars, no, whatever. Whatever. Nothing.
00:51:05 -->
00:51:20
They're so happy, so excited. And I've seen them worship Allah in an amazingly beautiful when I've
been to remote parts of Africa that have made me weep, weep for days on end.
00:51:21 -->
00:51:49
When I've heard and seen little children do deeds, and their parents beautifully teaching them and
the melodious recital of the Quran, which would be better than most of us, including myself. And you
hear a small child in the middle of nowhere that barely has food and your water to drink and they're
reading a Nina Sarah Steffi masala Latina
00:52:01 -->
00:52:44
and you start thinking to yourself, Allahu Akbar, Allah, Allah, Allah mean, these are the two slaves
of yours. We think we're a big deal. We don't even read Salah on time. Some some of us don't even
read Salah to forget about Salah some of us wouldn't even be bothered about trying to do things that
would please allow some of us are so affected by the environment around us that we are more
embarrassed to face people than to face Allah. So we give up what would please Allah because we want
to please the people that is so embarrassing, yet there are people who have nothing in this world of
very, very little in this world and what might be their deeds are mountains, mountains of deeds.
00:52:44 -->
00:53:16
Where are we? Why do we think we're a big deal? I am humble. When I see the people travel on Earth,
traveling your own country, go to places see people and learn from people and then you will realize
that you know what we need a lot of help. The hubby says materialistic items. Look at those who have
less than you for you to appreciate the favors of Allah. Allah men who do not come but religious
matters and matters of the deen. Look at those who are higher than you so that you realize how much
effort needs to be made upon yourself.
00:53:17 -->
00:53:32
May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless every one of us. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant His goodness in
the dunya and the ohana. I overshot my time, but inshallah It was also part of a good deed the
brothers did tell me that you know what? We we don't really mind each other.
00:53:34 -->
00:54:11
So Alhamdulillah but even if they don't mind, I might Mashallah because I don't want to overshoot
too much and, you know, make people bored. May Allah subhanho wa Taala forgive every one of us.
Really, it's an honor to be here. I pray that we can love each other for the sake of Allah. I pray
that we can do deeds and purify our hearts. A sign of your good deeds really being accepted by Allah
is your heart becomes softened. If your heart is becoming hard, there's something wrong with you.
When you start hating your brothers and sisters, there is something wrong with you, no matter who no
matter what I've seen religious people knowledgeable people preach and promote hatred and saying
00:54:11 -->
00:54:53
that is Islam. No, no, no, no way. Not at all. When Allah subhanho wa Taala sent Moses moosari to
the Pharaoh, he told him to speak with softness with kindness to speak to him in a beautiful way to
remind him. When Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam spoke to the enemies he spoke to them with respect.
There is a lot that we need to learn from. Remember, your heart is softened. When you get closer to
Allah, so metallian Zulu Isla de la one day we may talk about that. Allah subhanho wa Taala bless
you all, may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a new beginning in such a way that our good deeds
carry forth and our bad deeds are white counter kuqali hada salatu wa salam, O Allah
00:54:54 -->
00:54:57
Subhan Allah Subhana Allah Allah, Allah Allah
00:55:00 -->
00:55:00
You
