00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			How is it on the regime Rahman I,
Rahim alhamdulillahi, Rabbil
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			Alameen, my respected scholars,
respected elders, brothers and
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:12
			sisters, children. Salaam Alaikum,
Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, once
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			again, on behalf of the Islamic
Institute of Toronto, I'd like to
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			welcome each and every one of you
to our institution on this blessed
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			day of jumara. I'd like to
particularly mention that we have
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			Sheik Saeed with us, and it's
always good to have Sheik visiting
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:32
			us at the IIT, and also to hear
his beautiful recitation. And
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			while I'm on the theme of
welcoming, I also want to welcome
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			a number of visitors from
overseas. We have some sisters
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			from New York and from Florida,
and it's always good to see you
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			attending and gracing the Islamic
Institute of Toronto with your
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:49
			presence, brothers and sisters, I
want to remind you again and ask
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			the volunteers to kindly go
through the line, and once again,
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			the money collected during this
week and on a weekly basis go
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			towards the defraying the cost of
maintaining This building. And so
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			those of you who are online, you
can go on our website, and with
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			one click, you can make a
donation. And those of you who are
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:13
			here, I once again implore you to
kindly make a donation. If the
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			brothers and sisters cannot get to
you, there's always the volunteer
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			the donation table in the lobby of
the building that you can drop
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:26
			your donation in on your way out.
I also wanted to remind you,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			brothers and sisters, we have been
having some real difficulties and
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			challenges with parking over the
last several weeks, and this has
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			not subsided, and this is
particularly relating to parking
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			in the business area just to the
east of this property, even last
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			week, there was someone who parked
blocking the entrance to the
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			industrial building across the
street. I don't need to tell you
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			brothers and sisters as Muslims,
one of the things that we should
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:58
			take pride in is our ability to be
respectful of our neighbors. We
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			haven't had this issue before, but
it.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			Is increasingly becoming an issue.
We have lots of parking on site
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:09
			and lots of parking on either side
of Neil of Nielsen Avenue, Nielsen
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			road. We have managed to get
permission from the city so you
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			can park on both sides of the
road. So please don't park on the
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			train line. And I'm serious, don't
park on the train line, and don't
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:25
			park if you can avoid it, really
don't park on the neighbor's
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:31
			property, please. Jazak Malakai, I
also want to remind you that our
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			programs will begin Inshallah, in
September. All four shayukh have
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			been engaged in program. Sheik
Ahmed will be doing a program the
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			giants of Islamic civilization.
Sheik Muslim will be doing an
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:46
			exposition of sur Allah's Hab.
Sheik Abdullah Hakim Kwik will be
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			doing a program on minarets and
thrones. And also Sheik ADAL Hamid
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			has a program. All these programs
starts towards the first week of
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			September, and they run for the
entire fall semester. So check the
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			website islam.ca,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			and if you can attend one of these
courses, please do so also, we
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			have hundreds of courses that are
on demand on the website. So
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			again, if you miss a course, you
can always go on the website and
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15
			and do some retrospection on some
of those courses that have been
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			offered already. A couple of also
very quick announcements. We're
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			seeing what's happening across the
globe. In Bangladesh, we've saw,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27
			we've seen the flooding
significantly impact, lots of
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			lives being lost, billions of
dollars being destroyed in
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			property. So I'm going to ask if
you're able to make a donation,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			please go on your website and make
a donation to one of your one of
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			the international charity empathy
is also one of those institutions.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			You can Google them on on the
Google and you can also make a
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			donation through them. They are a
registered charity and Islamic
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			Institute of Toronto. Would also
be making a donation from our
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:01
			zakat fund on behalf of the
community in Toronto, and
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			particularly with the IIT. And
don't forget the devastation, the
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:10
			chaos, the crisis, the genocide
continues in Palestine. Over 90%
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			of the population has been
displaced, and there has been more
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:19
			destruction, more destruction of
property in Palestine ever in the
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:24
			history of warfare. So think about
that for a second. Think about
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			what has happened in Palestine,
and think about our brothers and
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:31
			sisters all across the globe that
are suffering from these very
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			difficult and very challenging
situation. And finally, we are
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			scheduled to open our academy in
September. We have a very few
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			spaces in grade six, all the other
classes have been fully subscribed
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			to. So if you have a child who is
eligible to attend school and is
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			eligible for grade six, you can
register them IIT quickly. Other
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			than that, the classes are
completely full. Is akumabakar
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:00
			Assalamu alaikum. Warahmatullah.
He work at or Khatib today. Is a
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			shake must Be,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			slumber,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			long.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			Shad,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:01
			Allah, Madam so Namo, oh,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:07
			ham,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			Om,
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			Hai,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			Hai.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			Hey, alfana.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			All
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			One so
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			on
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			In Alhamdulillah,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			when Our rule
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:03

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			know,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			am
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:27
			mare. It took Allah to party. He
wallet
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:33
			into Muslim Moon from Barrett
brothers and sisters on this
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:37
			blessed day and hour of the only
jumara As we make dua for our
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			brothers and sisters in Palestine
in Bangladesh and throughout the
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:45
			Muslim world. Let us also take a
moment to remember our brothers
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:50
			and sisters, the Rohingya Muslims
of Burma on August the 25th will
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:56
			mark seven years since the
genocide and until this day, our
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:00
			brothers and sisters that part of
the world, the Rohingya Muslims,
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:04
			still struggle to be humanized in
their own country, to be
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:09
			recognized as citizens, to be
given basic rights, the pain, the
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:15
			struggle to simply survive and be
human, is a constant one. So we
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:20
			ask Allah to also give them peace
and stability, and our brothers
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			and sisters in Palestine and
throughout the Muslim world, may
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			Allah. So just give us all ease
and strength. Allahu Amin,
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			let's all go for a journey.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			This journey I want to take you on
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:44
			is a journey that is discussed in
surat al Fajr. Listen to it.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:52
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
Yeah, yet to ha nuts. We motel in
		
00:12:53 --> 00:13:00
			Roger ela robbica, model day,
yeah, federally fear abandoning
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			what the Holy janati,
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:12
			these ayat address the first time
you and I will meet Allah subhanaw
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:17
			taala. So step away from this
world for a moment,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			and what are the things that come
to mind when you think about, I'm
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:30
			going to meet him, subhanAllah, we
live our entire lives to prepare
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:36
			for this meeting. And this is the
first of perhaps many that will
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			come.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:45
			The believer is happy, the
believer is in a state of joy and
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:52
			peace, because for the believer,
there is nothing more fulfilling
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:58
			and beloved in anything that we
can fathom or imagine than meeting
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:06
			him, subhanAllah, not even an
eternal life in Jannah can equal
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			one meeting with Allah. So JAL,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:16
			so it begins, yeah, a year to
hanafu mutama in Arabic students
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			this area, yeah, a year to ha Nef
the HA
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:26
			is what we say in Arabic, 10 b
It's Allah subhanahu wa taala
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:31
			calling out and getting the
attention of who NAF sur muttama
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:37
			Inna Nef soon is usually
translated as soul. It's not a
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			very good translation. There isn't
one in English. So for the sake of
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:47
			today's hotbah will translate nefs
as the self, you and I, the
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:52
			person. So it's our soul, it's our
character, our personality, our
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			emotions, all that make up you and
me.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			Allah says,
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			Call.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			Us out to this nafs and describes
that this nafs is mutna.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:14
			Mutama IDNA. Imagine, if you have
a pot of milk, you turn on the
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:18
			stove, but you leave it there.
What eventually starts to happen.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:24
			It starts to boil over. Mutama
IDNA is when you calm it down. You
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:30
			calm yourself down. You want to
react. You want to cross these
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35
			boundaries. Allah sets certain
limitations for us, what we say
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:40
			and how we say it, what we do and
how we do it, but the nafs is
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:45
			constantly pulled to do more. You
might have heard people say to
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:49
			you, you know, I'm a sharpshooter.
I say whatever I feel, and if
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			somebody likes it, that's they
like it. If they don't, that's
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:57
			their problem. And unfortunately,
lots of Muslims do that as well.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:02
			And it's not a quality to be proud
of, as a matter of fact, it's a
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:08
			shameful quality to have to have
this lack of courtesy and care for
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:14
			how others might feel based on
what you say or do. That's mutama
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:18
			Inna. You're constantly being
pulled but you hold yourself back,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			you pause, you stop. You don't
want yourself to cross any
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:28
			boundaries, especially in front of
Allah. Now put this together.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:36
			Allah says, Hey, you nafs. Where
mutama Inna this calm, peaceful
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:41
			and content. Individual side
point, there are three types of
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:46
			nafs mentioned in the Quran. One
of them you just heard nafsu,
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:52
			motoma Inna. The other type is
nafsla, Amara tumbi Su, which is
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:58
			only found in Surat Yusuf. This is
the nafs where you don't control
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			it. It controls you.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:09
			There are people who cannot
control what they say or do. They
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:15
			can't. They've developed a
lifestyle or a habit, whatever I
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:21
			feel, that's what I'm going to do,
that's what I'm going to say, and
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:26
			we see examples of this daily
throughout the world, may Allah
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			give us strength.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:38
			The third type is nephwama Nef sin
Lama is the nefs when it feels
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:43
			remorse and regret. You know, when
you do something wrong, a little
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			voice comes inside of you and
tells you, it makes you feel that,
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:50
			why'd you do that? You could have
been patient. You could have done
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			better. You should have not made
that decision. There's other
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			decisions you you. This little
voice starts to talk to you, and
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			all of a sudden you start to feel
regret. You start to feel guilty.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:05
			That's this nafs The third type.
But what's mentioned in the ayah
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			is the best of them. It's the one
that we're all striving for to
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:16
			hold on to NAF surmo In now you
have this soul that's being pulled
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:20
			in all directions, but you kept it
under control. One more point
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			about this ayah, I find it
amazing.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			Allah is talking to the nafs.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:32
			He doesn't say believers,
believing men, meaning or Mina or
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:36
			muslimi, Muslim, none of those
titles.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:44
			Allah talks to the real you and
the real me, young students, soon
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			you're getting back to your
routine, aren't you, you're going
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			to get back to the same
environment with the pressure of
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:57
			trying to fit in or being pulled
to be someone you're not. When
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:02
			you're home with family during
this break, it's great you get to
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:07
			be yourself and you're with your
family that also appreciates the
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:11
			way you are being yourself, but
when you're in an environment
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			that's constantly pressuring you
to do the opposite,
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			this is where the challenge comes.
Allah tells us, even when that
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:23
			happens, even if you find
yourself, man, this is not me.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:27
			This is not the way I talk. It's
not the way that I should act. If
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			my parents saw me the way I
behaved today, they'll be shocked.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:35
			They wouldn't even know I'm their
kid. If that happens to you, don't
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:35
			fear
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			because Allah
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			still sees the real you.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			It's in there somewhere.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			Got lost.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			May have got lost and
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:59
			distracted, confused, but Allah
says you're still there. Find that
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			true.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Nafs in you. Nef soil, mutama,
Inna, next area.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:11
			Now that Allah is pleased, the
believer must wonder. Listen to
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			it. Irujilla, Robbie, go back to
your master. Two things are
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:21
			mentioned or all dia 10 mardiya,
pay attention to these two words.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:27
			You know, if you and I when we
meet Allah, we might be in a state
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			of joy and happiness.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			What if Allah
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:38
			is not pleased and not happy to
meet me?
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:46
			It's one thing. When you and I are
happy and we're joyful and we
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:52
			can't we anticipate that moment.
It's a whole nother thing. How
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:57
			will Allah react? Will he be
pleased with how I lived my life,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:04
			the choices I made? So listen to
the ayah. A is me and you. You're
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:11
			gonna feel content and happy about
this meeting. Murday Allah is also
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			happy with you.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			Remember these two words, raw,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:20
			you and me were pleased now to get
it out of our heads that we don't
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			feel scared or wonder What is
Allah going to do to me? I know he
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:29
			might be upset, and then throw all
of that out the window for the
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:34
			believer, especially the one who
has that Nef sur muttama in Allah
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:39
			says, Don't worry. I am mardiy. I
am pleased to have you come back.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			May Allah count all of us from
amongst them when we meet him,
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:49
			when our time comes to meet him.
Subhanallah, nothing else matters
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:54
			in this world. We pray that Allah
is pleased with us and pleased
		
00:21:54 --> 00:22:00
			with the time that he blesses all
of us. Allah, Ameen, radiate. Now
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:05
			look what happens. Allah is
pleased with us. We are pleased
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:10
			with Allah. This is the perfect
situation. But to Allah, there's
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:14
			never an equal transaction. You
don't do one thing for Allah and
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:19
			you get one reward. Or barakah,
Allah is always going to give you
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:26
			more and more. This is what Allah,
Subhanahu wa does for the servant
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:33
			that strives to please Him. Next.
Allah says, fed holy fear. Ibadi
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:39
			go fadholi, nothing in between
this A and the other. So it's as
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:43
			if Allah is saying, I'm pleased
with you. You're pleased to meet
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:47
			me. I'm pleased to have you back.
Just go. Fed holy. No delay,
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:56
			nothing to hold you back. Just go.
But it doesn't say where you're
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:02
			going. Fed holy. Doesn't say
Jannah. Fed holy. Fear ibadi, go
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			amongst my slaves.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			Who are these slaves?
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			Inshallah,
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:16
			a time will come for all of us.
When we enter Jannah. Inshallah,
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			you're going to see faces
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:26
			of the righteous men and women all
around you. You gotta look to your
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:30
			one side, the left side, you see
there's Abu Bakr. There is ASI out
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:34
			of the Allah. There's Mariam.
You're gonna look in the other
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:38
			side. You're gonna see your Umar
of the Allah, and you're gonna see
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:42
			other companions, other pious men,
and in between all of that you
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			didn't know, but there's your mom,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:52
			there's your dad, there's your son
and your daughter, and there's a
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:57
			spot there waiting for you. And in
the center, in the middle of all
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:03
			of this, it's the leader of all
servants. There, he is the man who
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:08
			you tried your very best to
reflect your life after the man
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:12
			you love more than yourself and
your family and your children, the
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:19
			man that you try to live your life
as closest to as possible. There
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:25
			he is Rasulullah sallallahu,
alayhi wa sallam, waiting to
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:31
			welcome and greet you fed holy
fear. Ibadi, if you think this is
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			pretty amazing,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			it's only the beginning.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:42
			We haven't even started of what
Allah prepares for the righteous
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:47
			one. It happens now in the last
ayah, Allah says, fed holy fear
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:53
			ibadi, what the Holy Janti and
enter. Listen to the language
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:58
			Allah doesn't say, enter Jannah.
Enter my Jannah. A.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:07
			Not enter Jannah. Enter my Jannah.
Jannahty. Why? What's the
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:12
			difference? You know, some of the
scholars give us some things to
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:18
			think about. Perhaps the reason
why Allah meant mentions Jannah as
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			my Jannah in this ayah
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:29
			is to perhaps allude to the
possibility for that NAF sur mum
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:35
			Inna, that calm and sweet nafs
Allah prepared something unique
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			and special just for you.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			We want Jannah.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			That's what we want. You know,
some students will tell me, I
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			don't even need a house in Jannah.
I can be on the street somewhere
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			as long as I'm in Jannah. But to
Allah,
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:58
			because your soul pulled you in
life, and you kept holding back
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:05
			and keeping the soul calm. This
next calm, this you calm, that is
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			something enormous in the sight of
Allah.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:15
			So perhaps there is something
reserved, really special for all
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:19
			of us in sha Allah. Here's
something else to think about
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:28
			in this entire Surah, Jannah is
mentioned at the end in the last
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:33
			ayah of the last word, that's when
Jannah is mentioned. When we think
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:39
			about doing what's right for the
pleasure of Allah, the believer
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			always thinks I'm doing this for
Allah, so Allah can give me
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:46
			Jannah. So in other words, we're
thinking about Jannah and the
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:51
			thing that encourages us to keep
doing the right thing. We want
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			Jannah be iznillah.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			You learn something from the
pattern of the surah.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			Jannah is mentioned at the end,
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			because Jannah isn't going
anywhere.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:11
			That is guaranteed for you and I
inshaAllah.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			It's guaranteed by izilla. But
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:20
			Allah pulls us to think about
something more important,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:31
			the real you is the one that, by
default, naturally finds peace and
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:36
			pleasure serving Allah that is
more important than anything else.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:40
			If Allah, out of His mercy, gives
me Jannah, Alhamdulillah, and the
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:45
			great thing about that is Allah
promised us we will have Jannah
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:49
			throughout the Quran, so we know
it's there. We know it's a promise
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:54
			inshallah. But finally, brothers
and sisters, it's about me and
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:59
			you, and for the students, today's
reminder is especially for you,
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:05
			because when you go back into that
environment and the real you is
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:09
			pulled in all sorts of directions,
and you come home and your parents
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			like, where how'd you come how'd
you become like this? Who do you
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:16
			take after? Where'd you learn that
from? How do you speak this way
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			you want to dress, though they're
totally shocked. Where's all of
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			this coming from? That's a sign
that the nafs got pulled the wrong
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:27
			way and you didn't control. You
didn't stop that. Allah is telling
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:37
			us, we all have what it takes to
keep the nets under control, and
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:44
			that is a magnificent place to be
in the sight of Allah. When you
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:49
			have your nafs under control, you
have your life under control. And
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52
			when you have your life under
control, Inshallah, you are
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:56
			guaranteed the pleasure, the
acceptance and Allah, Subhanahu wa
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:01
			taala, Jannah, may Allah enter all
of us in Jannah, ya Robbie, when
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:05
			we meet you for that first
meeting, ya Robbie, allow all of
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:09
			us to taste the pleasure of being
welcomed with your forgiveness,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:14
			with your mercy and with your
acceptance. Allahu meant Asmaa una
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:20
			stuff it Allah, He Welcome to stop
it in the whole photo. Right? You?
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:33
			Alhamdulillah, Wadah. And in
conclusion, brothers and sisters,
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:37
			I want to take this last moment
and pray, and especially for our
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:42
			sons and daughters, as you prepare
yourself to go back, we ask Allah
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:47
			to preserve the message of the
Quran and Sunnah in the hearts of
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:51
			our lives, but especially in the
hearts of our sons and daughters.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:57
			May Allah preserve Islam in their
hearts and in their lives if they
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			still struggle to see the beauty
of this? Deen.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:05
			May Allah facilitate a path that
is pleasing to Him, our sons and
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			daughters and all of us, we
continue to see the beauty of this
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:13
			Deen, and we do our best to hold
on. And if you lose your way, it's
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			going to happen. I'm going to lose
my way at times. You're going to
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19
			lose your way at time. We ask
Allah, bring us back and keep us
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:24
			on a path you are pleased with,
that you are satisfied with. And
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:29
			finally, ayula, we asked Allah for
a righteous ending. Ya Rabbi,
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:34
			bless all of us, all of us with a
righteous ending, an ending that
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:39
			you are pleased with, an ending
where the next meets you. Ya rab
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			and you are pleased with. May
Allah enter, all of us, in
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:48
			general, Allah, with our beloved
family, friends, companions, and
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:55
