00:00:00--> 00:00:02

My brothers and sisters, remember something.

00:00:02--> 00:00:05

Allah Almighty will never mention the story of

00:00:05--> 00:00:08

Luqman if there was no proper lesson in

00:00:08--> 00:00:11

every word that was mentioned by Allah in

00:00:11--> 00:00:13

the Quran. So firstly, he asks us to

00:00:13--> 00:00:17

worship Allah correctly. Worship your maker. He is

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

the one who is owed worship because

00:00:20--> 00:00:23

the simple question that we always ask, where

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

were you before you were born? Maybe 10

00:00:25--> 00:00:27

years before you were born. Wherever you were,

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

when you leave this earth you're going to

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

go back to whoever you were with. You

00:00:31--> 00:00:32

were with Allah. You're going to go back

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

to Allah.

00:00:33--> 00:00:35

So if I'm going to go back to

00:00:35--> 00:00:36

the one who made me and I say,

00:00:36--> 00:00:38

oh you who made me, I worship you

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

alone. I don't associate partners with you. Have

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

mercy on me when I return to you

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

and so on. Have I made mistakes? No,

00:00:44--> 00:00:45

I haven't.

00:00:45--> 00:00:48

I haven't. That's what Islam teaches you. Worship

00:00:48--> 00:00:49

the one who made you, the one whom

00:00:49--> 00:00:52

you are going to return to. It doesn't

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

ever say the one you're going to go

00:00:54--> 00:00:57

to. Always the term return is used to

00:00:57--> 00:00:59

prove that you were there in the first

00:00:59--> 00:01:02

place. When someone passes on, something happens,

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

that is negative as muslims we are taught

00:01:04--> 00:01:05

to say,

00:01:07--> 00:01:09

Right? Do you know what that means? Indeed

00:01:09--> 00:01:12

we all and everything belongs to Allah And

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

we're all going to be returned

00:01:15--> 00:01:18

to Allah. Notice the word return. Rajaa means

00:01:18--> 00:01:20

to come back, which means I was there

00:01:20--> 00:01:21

and I'm going to go back.

00:01:22--> 00:01:24

You see, it doesn't say the haba. It

00:01:24--> 00:01:27

doesn't say I'm going to Allah. I'm returning

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

to Allah. That alone proves I was there.

00:01:29--> 00:01:31

I was already with Allah and going back

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

to Allah.

00:01:32--> 00:01:35

Now naturally, when that happens, you realize

00:01:35--> 00:01:36

He made me.

00:01:35--> 00:01:36

He made me.
