Salam alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu
Smilla he will Hamdulillah he was salatu salam ala Rasulillah, who ala alihi wa sahbihi. Germain. As I was walking in, they gave me
a word of
these little soviets and I wondered what it was for. The minute I stepped in, I knew what it was for.
May Allah bless you for enduring the temporary marquee that has been put up here, you may or may not know that this venue,
there was a fire that actually raised and ravaged through
the venue that's next to us. And we've used it so many times in the past. But Alhamdulillah we managed to gather here
and the reward is indeed written but let's make sure that we have not wasted the endurance of the heat here.
What that means is take from here something change your life, even if it means a millimeter or a centimeter or more inshallah.
This evening, I will speak on the theme
of this summer conference, and that is the path to repentance.
You and I know that Allah Almighty created Adam Alayhis Salam and told him don't eat from the tree agreed. Him and his wife, Allah says, well, Atakora by having his Shahdara don't eat from this tree. That's it. So in that place where they were made, and there is a big discussion as to where exactly it was.
Was it the Jana that we're going to go back to or was it a different Jana? The more correct opinion is it was a different garden that is called Jana tulip tila. It was a garden wherein which Allah wanted to test them and Hawa. And he knew that he is going to prohibit one thing, and he knew what was going to happen. But the broader purpose was that Allah Almighty send man to Earth
in order to test them similarly, knowing that the best from amongst us will be the one who repents immediately.
So therefore,
I Adam Alayhis Salam, having spoken with Allah created by Allah, exactly as he was, in the sense that he wasn't a baby who was born, no, he was created already an adult.
Adam Alayhis Salam was created already an adult.
And Allah says, We taught him all the nouns and the names and everything he needed to know to communicate. Well, I lemma Daemul asthma Akula. We taught Adam, the names of everything. This is a tree, this is a stone, this is this and this is water and everything he already knew.
He came into creation, there was only one thing that was prohibited one. What was that? The tree, don't go close to this tree. Don't eat from it.
And guess what happened? That's exactly what he did. La hawla wala Quwata illa biLlah. You thought of it. One thing, just one thing not allowed. And that's exactly what he did.
He did not defy Allah because he knew he had spoken to Allah. He knew Allah better than you are. And I, you and I.
But
shaytan continued with him and worked on him and continued to whisper and he did it prolonged
and he touched on certain things
that he knew Adam Alayhis Salam is going to perhaps pay more attention to this type of whisper what was it? Hello, I don't know. Gah Isla shujaa Ratan Julio ammonium King Leia Bella, you might have heard these verses many times. He says, Can I show you a tree shirt I'll hold and hold meaning you are going to live forever and ever if you eat from this, there is nothing known as death that will ever overtake you. Who even discussed death prior to that? Who discussed death prior to that? And here is shaytan coming to tell you something that you know what if you don't eat from this
You would die. That's what it means. So if you eat from this, you will not die. And Mulqueen bla bla bla, you will have Kingdom ownership of that which will never finish.
And he tried to convince him that that's the reason why Allah told you not to eat.
And here is Adam Alayhis Salam.
Like I said, he knows Allah better than you and I, Allah spoke to him, Allah told him
and now
he fell.
How did he fall? He decided, well, let's have some of the street question I have who ate first was it Adam or Hawa? Who ate first? Say it again? Say Loudly.
Please, can you say loudly?
You see, the men are saying Hawa and the women are saying Adam that's a debate that happens from the very beginning be we blame each other in actual fact the Quran does not mention who ate first it says they both ate. They were both guilty for at gala mean, Ferber that level maths to Houma. Allah speaks,
referring to both of them. And that's the beauty of the Arabic language you can you actually have a pronoun that refers to to, I don't know another language that has that type of system. It's either singular or plural. They have single double plural, single double plural for AQa Allah, you already know there were two of they're both involved. So that goes to show don't waste your time blaming someone for who did the sin and who encourage the sin and where it came from. When we sit and play the blame game, we are not going to turn back to Allah. We continue blaming others for a sin that we were involved in whether they encouraged or didn't, you did it. So just turn to Allah seek the
forgiveness of Allah. And Allah will forgive you. One of the plots of shaytan is to involve you in something futile, and that is who did it first, and whose fault was it actually was his fault or no fault? Someone encouraged you, the guy who encouraged you can turn back on the day of judgment and can tell you you know what, it wasn't me. Allah says that in the Quran.
What God Allah shaytaan
Allah says Shetland says,
What does shaytan say?
La Macedonian Amuro in Allah How are other common words that will help the world to come out of left don't come? Why am I can you come
on in?
That I want to come first tangible to me. Tell Omoni Falletta pneumoniae one Oh.
He says, Allah promised you a true promise. I promised you a false promise, you came to my false promise, and you forgot the true Promise of Allah. He says,
Allah called you towards something, I called you towards something. You obeyed me, you did not obey Allah. Don't blame me. blame yourselves.
All I did was I just called you I said, Hey, why don't you guys do this? You know what? So so so so no matter what I called you, and you did it. So from that verse, we learned that Shavon will definitely excuse himself from the fact that you did the crime. And this is why I tell the young boys and girls, you know, when you have groups of people, and they tell you, why don't you punch up this guy? Why don't you do this? If it is something bad? Trust me, why didn't he do it? Why is he telling you to do it? Because he knows he's too sharp, he's intelligent. He knows that I'm going to sit back and blame, blame who blame this person? And that's why Allah Almighty wants you to take
heed. Don't just listen to someone and do things when you know they're bad. You might be young, you might even be slightly older. Some of us our temperaments are different. You have a group of friends, and they know this person's hot blooded. So when you want something nasty to be done, tell them they will do it. We won't do it. Some people are hot blooded. You need to fight back for something they tell you come on, you stand up and then you stand up and you look like the fall. And guess what happens when you are nailed. And when you are going to be punished because of what you did. They all go back and say we're making dua for you.
We're making dua for you from the corner and you're sitting in prison, Allahu Akbar. This is why Be careful. Even in your circles, don't let shaitan come and deceive you through your own friends.
shaytaan deceived Adam and Hawa May peace be on them by lying to them that this is
What's going to happen?
You guys are going to achieve a lot. As soon as they ate they realized, because their lives changed. And this is why when you transgress against Allah, your life changes.
If you sin against Allah,
quickly come back quickly returned to Allah. Because if you don't, you will find your life changing slowly but surely, in a way that Allah may reject you and turn you away completely, because you will no longer interested in coming closer to Allah.
Allah says we guide
But whom do we guide we guide those who are interested in guidance. Those who are striving towards looking for the guidance will show it to them. You ask Allah for guidance every day, you know, when I meet people belonging to say, for example, a Christian faith. And they tell me, can you tell us about Islam? We talk about Islam a little bit, or they might ask a question or two. And then they say, anything you'd like to say? I say yes, there's one thing I want to say.
They believe in Jesus, don't they? We believe in Jesus. But our belief is that Jesus was the most noble of prophets, the top five from among the top five most noble of Prophets, of Allah, that's what we believe.
And
the best thing and this what I say, is for you to constantly pray,
Oh, my maker, guide me to the purest teachings of Jesus,
or my maker, guide me to the purest teachings of Jesus may peace be on him. Oh, my maker, guide me to the purest teachings of Moses May peace be on him.
If you are sincere in that Allah will guide you, you will be guided. The same applies to all of us who are Muslim, you constantly pray to Allah to guide you a then a Seraph almost tap him. This is the third day in a row, that somehow that verse has come up in a speech
guide us to the straight path is the dua that you've repeated the most in your life. And I have to and we all have, and on the globe to there is no other supplication that has ever been repeated more than in a Serato Mr. Kane, by virtue of it being compulsory in every unit of prayer, and by virtue of the billions of Muslims praying five times a day by the will of Allah if you're not praying five today's the day you promise Allah I'm going to pray five from today. Is that a promise?
I know it's a bit hot. But is that a promise?
If you don't promise I want to tell you something about the heat that you might not like to hear.
Call now to Jahan nama Asha Doha Allah Allah Who can we have gone home? Oh, you understood that verse.
You know when I studied in Medina, sometimes the air condition didn't used to work and we used to come into the lecture hall 45 degrees, this is still calm. This is still calm.
And you know what the lecturer is used to tell us to calm us down culinary Johanna Masha Hara mean, they used to tell us, you know, the heat of the flame of Jahannam is worse than this in terms of heat. And we would look and say that's just an excuse because your
aircon is not working. He says no, you're seated here. It was planned by Allah in the sense that I didn't know that it was going to be such a hot place today.
You know the term hot can be used positive and negative. But even when it is used in what the world thinks is positive, it is negative.
Have you ever thought of it?
Only the youngsters can smile at that one?
You say oh, your heart? What does it mean? It means I can already feel the fire of Jahannam coming this way here because I'm not supposed to be looking in the first place. Agreed. That's what I mean. So as much as it might be a compliment, but if that's the compliment
chances are it's the wrong complement to the wrong person.
May Allah Almighty forgive us? So
Adam Alayhis Salam immediately sought the forgiveness of Allah with his wife. Because his life changed. Things started changing. He regretted instantly. My brothers, my sisters, my beloved children.
We are human. We are the children of the same Adam. Our genes are from then we have the DNA of Adam Alayhis Salam in us. And I tell you if ever you have faulted and you will falter. Number one, make sure you have not faulted out of defiance of Allah because that will
Take You Out of the fold of belief.
Allah says this is haram and you come up and you say, so what? Oh, that's a dangerous statement. I was a biller. That is very dangerous.
Allah says this is not allowed or Allah says this is compulsory, don't say no, it's not mean five daily prayers. If you haven't fulfilled the prayer,
because of some error because of some myths, and you believe firmly you were supposed to, we could still call you a believer according to the majority of folk Aha. We still call you a believer because you believe that five daily prayers I missed one but you know what, I was wrong. Okay.
Let me not even give you the example of prayer. Give you another example. The example of fasting in Ramadan.
You're supposed to fast.
If you have eaten out of era, Allah Almighty tells us through the blessed lips of Nabi Muhammad, Salah Salem.
We won't even consider that as having been eaten. It was just a bonus from us. There is a Hadith the Prophet SAW Selim says
Manasa who was our aim and for Akella OSHA Reba for UT masama HuFa in nama apama Holla, who was aka who, what a beautiful narration, whoever is fasting and they forgotten and they happen to eat or drink, then they should complete the fast stop as soon as you remember. Because Allah quench your thirst and fed you that was just a bonus.
Subhanallah
I remember once when we were young, my mom used to send all of us to school.
And the first day of Ramadan, she sent us all to school, and then she would always normally sit and make yourself a cup of tea and breakfast
they forgot they're forgiven, isn't it?
So, mashallah, Mashallah. So,
should we all went to school and she made herself breakfast and she ate it and everything happened. She packed up as usual and so on. When we came back from school, she said, Oh, there's no lunch today, but I just had breakfast. And that was the first time in my life I ever knew the ruling of it. And I used to say, ah, you know, I was a kid. That's so unfair. I wish I forget to sometimes.
But I can't remember really having forgotten fasting. Imagine you. Those who think I wish I forget one day have a nice month, you know, subhanAllah they are the ones who don't forget.
Right? It happens by default.
Nonetheless, Adam Alayhis Salam
did something that Allah had told him not to do you and I will also do things in our lives that Allah told us not to do. Never, ever do things out of defiance. hold yourself back for the sake of Allah continue to tell yourself Oh Allah, grant me sufficiency in Halal so that I don't engage in Haram. So that Allah saves you look at Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, he was steadfast and straight. He was a prophet of Allah protected by Allah subhanho wa Taala he used to say, Allah Who McWeeny Behala Lika and Hara Miko agony before really come and see work. Oh Allah, grant me sufficiency in Halal so that it protects me from haram
and grant me sustenance from you so that I don't rely on anyone but you
continuing to make that dua it means
you don't want
the pathway to haram to be an easy one. You want Allah to put obstacles in it so you planning haram and somehow you had to meet someone say for example, a date
and
suddenly you were involved in a car accident, a minor one thank Allah don't get angry. That's Allah telling you don't go.
Or you had a puncture, or someone arrives at home, just at a time when someone else was supposed to arrive at the same home. See?
And Allah blocked it. Thank Allah Oh Allah, I thank you for blocking it from me because I was planning to do something that was displeasing
to you and here you are out of your love for me creating a barrier between me and haram. Creating a barrier isn't it a favor of Allah, that Allah creates a barrier between you and haram. So be strong and thank Allah, that was Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and like I said, if you do end up falling after that, it's not because you defy Allah, it's because of your human weakness and human nature. Human nature all of us. When we commit sins, we don't commit sins because we are defying our maker that would be covered.
But we commit sins because we are weak. We are human.
beings.
And shaytan is so excited. So now shaytans plan is always very carefully laid out and he knows, I'm going to keep trying with you keep trying with you keep trying with you until I nail you, when I get you where I want you, then I'm going to change my strategy because now you hit you did what he wanted. Now, what's the next strategy? You're a believer. By default, a true believer is one who regrets his sin almost instantly. If you're a believer, as soon as you committed the sin, you start telling yourself, I didn't need to do this. I shouldn't have done this. This wasn't a good thing. Let's believe Thank you. Thank Allah, that Allah made you think for a moment that you didn't need to
do this. From Allah. Regret to regret your sin is the one of the first steps towards Toba and repentance. regret your sin. I shouldn't have done this. What did I achieve by it? Nothing. Where am I heading? Through all of this? Nowhere? Why do I constantly miss my Fudger? What about the others today? We are a few 1000 Perhaps in this hall, I tell you from amongst us there are those who fulfill their Fajr correctly and there are those who probably don't.
So imagine if I weren't.
And I see so many people fulfilling their Salah and doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I should feel for a moment that you know what Allah has accepted them. Oh Allah strengthen me, grant me acceptance. Oh, Allah love me so that I do what pleases you. That's a sign of the love of Allah. When Allah opens and makes easy for you the doors of obedience and the doors of fulfillment of what is obligated, what is an obligation from him to you. And Allah subhanho wa Taala makes it difficult for you to sin and easy for you to hold back from sin. That's a sign of the love of Allah for you. So constantly ask Allah
to love you.
When you fallen, first things first regret, that regret should immediately lead you to say, Stop Allah.
And you know what has happened with a Stubblefield? Allah the same thing that happened within sha Allah?
You know what that means? You tell a brother Brother, will you come? He says sha Allah That means no.
I promise you nowadays you tell you tell people things that are you sure you're gonna give this to me is insha Allah the way he says that in sha Allah already tells you his intention. In most cases. If the brother know in sha Allah, I'm going to be there. Now he's probably telling you with a little bit more genuineness. You can hear it in his tone. But when the brother says sha Allah, those inshallah with a little wink of one eye and a slight smirk on the face, it means no chance my brother, not at all. You know, the guy's driving a Porsche Well, nowadays a Porsche is no longer a big deal. But anyway,
the guy is driving a fancy car and you say, Can I have a Spanish Sharla? That means no way my bro Not a chance, man. Not a chance. We do the same thing with a strong federal law because sometimes we say stuff law stuff, philosopher you don't even know what you're saying. And you repeating it simply because you heard I should be saying a strong federal law after my salah thrice after the fall. It's a sunnah to say stuff like you must and you should. What I'm telling you to do is concentrate on the words What are you saying? And you need to be genuine about it. Oh ALLAH forgive me. That's what I'm saying. Oh ALLAH forgive me. Don't just say stuff Allah stuff Allah. You know the prophets. Allah
Allah Allah is telling us to seek forgiveness with a strong fear Allah 70 to 100 times a day. Wala he you and I are supposed to be repeating it through the day but repeat it with concentration. If you don't have the concentration, it's of no value.
Imagine I'm just walking stuff Allah, you know, you get this counter right? Have you ever come across these people who have this counter?
And they talking to you and they still counting? What are you counting brother? I told one of the brothers. He says salaam aleikum. How are you? You know, and he's doing this with a counter and is saying SM okay, what's happening? Are you doing your Vickery? Yes, I'm doing my vicar my brother. But you count he says he's some kind of what are you counting the beads?
It's counting the beads.
I was about to tell and this is a true story. I was about to tell one of the brothers that you know what you're doing. You just like greasing it making it a bit quicker to go you know like it's becoming a bit used when it's new. Maybe you might just struggle a little bit to push it so he's just and you're talking. That is lip service to the to the esteem of art. You want to do is still far say it as thermophila the any one of those could be your paradise.
Any one of those can be your Jana.
So go serious in this regard. seek the forgiveness of Allah Oh ALLAH forgive me.
And you know what Adam Alayhis Salam and his wife Hawa May peace be upon them. You know what she said?
In fact, they
Both of them
are BANA Avila.
fusina Oh ALLAH we've wronged ourselves all that is the most powerful thing to say, to say Hola Hola. Hola mean, what I just did now?
I wronged myself Why do you say I wronged myself because your sin is not going to decrease the value of Allah.
Oh Allah I wronged myself. I'm the one who's wrong.
We're in Lambton, Phil, Lana water Hannah, Lana Coonan, nominal Hasini if you are not going to forgive us and have mercy on us, we are the ones who are definitely going to be the losers. You lose nothing, you gain nothing. Allah doesn't gain from your worship, nor does he lose from your sin. It is you who gains and who loses there.
So surely, isn't it the best thing to turn back to Allah? seek Allah's forgiveness? Ask him immediately. Now shaytan is still watching. He's lurking. He's very upset. Why is he upset? He was happy, he nailed you.
But now he's angry because you're a believer and your belief is making you regret why regret why regret. And this is why my brothers he tries to make you do it again. And again. And again. Because each time you repeat a sin, you are normalizing it within yourself to the degree that there will come a time when your regret is depleted, and it sometimes becomes non existent. First time you committed a major sin or you regretted it. Second, Third, if you fall in the trap of the devil, and he makes you repeat it 2030 times by the time you get to the 30th you're looking forward to committing the sin rather than regret. You just committed it now. And you're planning to do it again
next week or the next day. And that's where we have reminders like this that come in to say you know what, cut that cycle, let's change it turn to Allah. You don't know how long you're gonna live for. We all have to return to Allah. It's something people don't like to hear. But it's the only reality that is proven. Every one of us is going to die. That is the own that is the truest statement you can ever hear.
And where are we going to go back to wherever we came from? Where did we come from? The maker our Maker Allah. And so where are we going to go back to Allah?
In Lillahi wa alayhi wa Rajon we all belong to Allah, we came from him and we're all going to go back to Allah
so turn to Allah
shaitan is now upset because your regret he's so angry.
And as you seek forgiveness, He comes back to you he says, oh well done. That was so good. But you know what? You committed such a big sin such a big sin. He can't just be forgiven so easily. Let's say plans plan again.
That's che plans plan again you commit it's such a big sin. You can't just be forgiven so easily. You think you after you committed Zina, you can just say Aston Villa to Blue Lake or BANA alumna and fusina. Atlanta, Atlanta water Hannah. Then Hakuna Monica serene, Oh Allah, I regret it. I don't want to do it again. Help me Oh Allah, I won't do it again. Forgive me. Shaitan tells you, you really think you committed such a big thing you think just by that much, you're going to be forgiven? That question alone
is enough to destroy you again.
What happens? You lose hope in the Mercy of Allah which is worse than the first sin you committed? Because one of the names and qualities of Allah in fact, many names and qualities of Allah are connected to mercy. He is most loving, most kind, most forgiving, oft forgiving and so many other names where Allah says,
Don't ever lose hope in my mercy. That's what he says in the Quran. So the Mercy of Allah
he is our hammer rahimian. You know what that means? He is the Most Merciful of all those with mercy. Amazing, amazing Arham era him in
the Most Merciful from all those who have mercy, Allah and you're doubting him. That's from Shaytaan
Lata Kona to me Rahmatullahi in Allah Hi LV root zone Oh by Jeremy. Don't ever lose hope in the Mercy of Allah. What are you doing, losing hope in the Mercy of Allah? So you're going against a verse of the Quran?
And what is that that's dangerous.
Allah says He will forgive indeed Allah forgives all sins. So when you seek forgiveness shaytan comes back and makes you think for a moment that you know what, you're not forgiven. If you listen to his whispers, you're going to fall back again and again and again. And then what happens? Now you fall from Allah because why you start believing I'm too dirty. I'm too unclean. I've committed too many sins. I'm not going to be achieving
Forgiveness of Allah, I'm lost. I'm already gone into Jahannam now there's nothing left for me besides to continue this life, of distance from Allah.
Then you fallen into the trap of Shaban
come back, my brother, come back, my sister, don't think that way. Go back to the Mercy of Allah. Recognize your maker, learn about Allah, His names, his qualities, learn about who is Allah, learn about the forgiveness, learn about the others in the past, like the story of Adam alayhis salaam, the lessons we learn from this are tremendous, they are powerful.
And tell yourself I have a Lord who is merciful.
That statement should not be said in order to push you to commit the sin again.
Because you do have shaytan coming to us and telling us now reverse, what's the reverse? Same shaytan will come to you and he will say Do you know Allah is merciful? Say? Yeah, you know, he's the most merciful say, Yeah, you know, He is the Most Merciful of those who can have mercy. Yeah, look at how all these statements are correct, right.
So now have you commit to sin? Surely he's gonna forgive you go for it, man. Oh, now we found where his trap is, again. He's making us so hopefully in His mercy, that he's prodding us to sin with the hope that I'm going to send because I know Allah is forgiving Allah when Mr. Han, you see another type of shaitan.
So don't ever commit a sin based on the mercy of Allah No way. If you've committed it human nature, it's a different thing. But if you have fallen and you have ended up in the trap of shaytan, in any one of the ways we've mentioned this evening, like for example, you committed it, hoping that No, Allah is afforded Rahim, today is the day you can turn back and say, Oh, Allah, the way I committed the sin was wrong, I forgive I seek forgiveness from you, and I won't do it. Allah says, I will still forgive you.
Why is it so wrong to seek the forgiveness of Allah?
Meaning Why is it so wrong? To commit to sin? In the hope that Allah will forgive you? Thinking about it before you've committed the sin? Why is that so wrong?
It is wrong because you are misunderstanding the balance between health and Raja. What is cough and what is Raja we are taught as Muslims to have hope in the Mercy of Allah. But we are also taught to fear the punishment of Allah and to strike the correct balance between the two. strike a balance. Allah's punishment is true, it is severe.
We cannot tolerate a little flame
on a baby finger that's coming from a little candle that we might have lit and you think you're gonna tolerate the flames of Johanna SubhanAllah. I'm standing here in front of you. The weather outside is absolutely superb, but because we're in a marquee, and there are a few 1000 people, perhaps I don't know the exact number, but I'm sweating, and it's hot. And so are you.
And the reason why I'm not
wiping my face with these tissues is I want to share with you these drops of perspiration
Subhanallah Subhanallah I tell you what,
we should be talking about the real heat. What's the real heat? Don't ever forget that as much as we have a Lord who is absolutely merciful. We have a Lord who is just
and you cannot run away from him. No chance. That's why the DUA Says law, Malta Allah.
Allah Lake is no ways that we are going to be saved in any way, shape or form except from you. Meaning except with you, you Oh Allah are the one who's going to save us, protect us, deliver us and so on. That protection is only from Allah.
You run away from Allah, back to Allah.
My brothers and sisters Alhamdulillah we thank Allah for giving us an opportunity to talk about these things.
Because the balance is something that the movement needs to strike this beautiful balance where we seek the forgiveness of Allah every day, not forgetting that we are human. So when you have faltered
and you are seeking the forgiveness of Allah, go easy on yourself. Let me explain to you when you should be hard on yourself and when you go easy
You shouldn't be hard on yourself when you've committed the sin. be hard on yourself to turn back to Allah be hard. I have to turn.
When you regret, be hard on yourself regret, I regret it deeply. The minute you say, Oh Allah, forgive me thereafter, when you're sincere, go easy on yourself. Thank Allah, He granted me the ability, he granted me the ability to seek forgiveness.
Because that ability doesn't come to everyone and anyone I want to end off by telling you that ultimately, there are so many people who have died without seeking the forgiveness of Allah.
There are so many people who have died, they haven't even sent the Shahada. There are people who've died, and they didn't imagine they were going to die by the time they died. Some people they are terminally ill, they're old and so on. They're expecting perhaps we're going to go but there are so many who just go suddenly How old was this guy? 28 How old? 36? How old? 40? How old? 15?
How do you prepare for the meeting with Allah?
There are so many ways so many things. One of the most powerful ways is to just constantly seek the forgiveness of Allah. Oh ALLAH forgive me. I'm human. Oh Allah, forgive us all. We are human. We have committed so many sins and we continue to commit them. Oh Allah. We don't commit these sins out of defiance, but rather out of human nature strengthen us, grant us the ability to quit the sins for your sake. Oh Allah. Help us to taste the sweetness of obedience. Oh Allah help us to taste the sweetness of obedience for Wallahi.
If Allah gives you the ability to taste the sweetness of Iman and the sweetness of obedience, you will never ever go back to disobedience. May Allah Almighty forgive me forgive you forgive all of us, strengthen us all. Grant us goodness, and may Allah Almighty deliver us from all evil. And may Allah Almighty gather us in general for DOS, Apolo Kohli had SallAllahu wasallam albaraka ala Nabina Muhammad
