We'll continue our discussion about
Al Hadi.
So, last night we spoke about a specific
type of Hidayah from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
which is a guidance to Islam and He
will keep you in the salatul Mustaqim, and
this is specific to the believer.
Some people are not guided, and Allah
says, limansha aminkum a yastaqim. Hidayah
from Allah
for those who are looking for the truth.
So, the first step has to come from
you. If you are willing, if you look
from the for the truth Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala will guide you. And the ulama say,
yudilum man yasha'u wayahdi man yasha' Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala guides whoever He wants and He
leaves astray whoever He wants.
Some of the Alawites say the pronoun,
doesn't go back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
it goes to the person, which means Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala guides whoever wants to be
guided,
and he leaves to straight whoever doesn't want
to be guided. So if you want Hidayah,
Allah will open the way for you, if
you don't want Hidayah, khalas He will keep
you away. It's up to you. So if
you're looking for the truth, He will make
it easy for you. So this is a
specific type of Hidayah,
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala because if Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala guides, how come that the
majority of the people in this world are
not guided?
Because
the people don't have the niyyah
and and the correct fitrah to follow the
right way. So this is why Allah does
not give them Hidayah. If they are sincere,
they look for the Haqq, He will make
it easier for them.
Now we'll talk about the general Hidayah for
everyone, and Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta A'la speaks
about this
at the beginning of Surah Alaa. Sabi Isma
Rabbikal Alaa
So Glorify You Lord the Most High
Who created and perfected the form
and who preordained
He made the khalah
and made the creation follow accordingly.
So He gave you or and the creation
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala this general type
of Hidayat.
So for example,
so HanulAllah,
if there's a childbirth in the family, your
wife gave birth,
your sister gave birth, your wife and your
daughter, whatever. So they go to the hospital,
and you have 2 doctors in the room,
you have nurses, they're trying to help the
sister deliver,
whether naturally or c section.
Takes a day, 2, more.
And SubhanAllah, I grew up in the in
the village,
in Egypt, Filah Mulfiyyah,
so
we had more animals in our farm,
in the village more than
the Toronto Zoo. So we had so many
animals in the farm. Buffalos, cows, horses,
goats, sheep, donkeys, cats, everything was there in
the farm. Goose, duck, everything.
So SubhanAllah, we'll have a pregnant cat,
we wake up in the morning, and the
cat is followed by like 7 8 kittens,
young ones,
who was taking care of that cat to
deliver overnight.
1 cat, 7 or 8 babies, there's no
doctor, no nurses, no anesthesia, no operation room,
nothing.
So who guided this cat
overnight to deliver all these kittens? It's Al
Hadid Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Also,
if you, if you look at the, I've
seen some documentaries because as I said before,
I learned more from National Geographic
than from watching the news. Because if you
follow National Geographic, you will learn about the
creation of Allah, it will bring you closer
to Him. If you watch the news, you'll
go crazy, you'll go nuts, and you will
lose confidence in humanity. Right? It's so crazy
man.
So, the kangaroo,
at birth, the little kangaroo is a few
inches
long,
they come out,
and they crawl all the way to the
pocket.
How did they do it? How do they
know that they are supposed to go up
and not down? They are tiny, their eyes
are closed, they can't see, they can't smell,
they can't hear anything. How do they do
it? It's al Hadhi Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
who guides them, and as soon as a
human baby is born, the first thing they
look for they can't see still,
they can't do nothing, they look for their
mom, and they look for, you know, to
be nursed. So they know where to go.
And Subhanallah, it's even interesting there are some
certain types of fish,
from the Mediterranean,
al Bahr
al Abiyat.
They swim during the mating season,
they go all the way to the coasts
of America,
they lay their eggs, then the parents die,
then when the eggs hatch,
their children, they swim all the way back
to the Mediterranean, Italy and Libya, and and
the coasts.
They didn't meet their parents,
they don't know the way. How did they
make it back?
It's it's Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Al Hali
who put a GPS in their heads, although
they never heard anything about their parents, or
the way back, or where where do they
live, and so on and so forth. The
birds that migrate,
they travel from the cold weather in the
winter, like from Canada,
northern parts of America, they go to Latin
America, Mexico,
in some cases from Europe, they go to
South Africa,
and and and those of you, SubhanAllah, when
you pray, and the Kaaba is this way,
if you are a few inches or centimeters
off here,
by the time the line goes to the
Kaaba it's a few miles away from the
Kaaba. Right?
How do they know?
Like, because technically when the birds are traveling,
they don't have a GPS,
like, so how do how do they know
the directions? And they don't travel like 1
mile or 2 miles up. I live in
Mississauga. I've been living here for now for
over a year,
14, 15 months to be exact.
I always get lost
in that area around, Frank McKigney, although I
live there. But if I take a street
that I never took before, I I end
up going somewhere else. I get lost.
So these birds, they travel 100 of 1000
of miles,
and they go to one certain direction,
and even if they're off, they know their
way.
They know their way. Although they don't have
a map, they don't have a GPS,
and SubhanAllah, this is the tatharah of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, al Hadi who guides all
the creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. If
you look at the web
of a, of a spider, you see how
they build the webs,
far and wide,
and the structure of the web, or if
you look at the beehive, how they build
the hives, or the ants in the bottom
of the earth, how they make the compartments,
and how they make the air conditioning naturally
inside, and how they take care of the
babies, and so on and so forth. Well,
it's amazing.
And I've seen a documentary before, there is
this wasp,
what they do, because they don't have time
to take care of their babies, what they
do they go somewhere,
and there are these small insects,
especially in the US,
they they they live on lettuce and cabbage
and stuff, they're very tiny.
They're like parasites, tiny insects.
So the wasp, what does it do? It
injects.
It's a female wasp, the black wasp. So
what they do, they inject one egg inside
of each of these insects.
It's like a surgical operation.
So once these,
small
eggs hatch inside the insect,
they don't eat the vital organs of the
insect because they they want to live on
the ex insect from the inside. They eat
from inside, from the liquids, everything,
but they don't eat the vital organs, so
they their their surrogate mother doesn't die.
And when it is about time to come
out, they don't dig through the the brain
or the head, they dig through the belly,
they come out, and eventually the insect will
heal and will continue its life.
It's al Hadi Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala who guides everyone,
human beings, animals, insects, to do what is
best for them.
Al Hadi,
ila al khair, aw illa
alhata walabtariit al Mustaqim. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
who guides everything, Khaltahu, his creation to what
is best for them. And I'll conclude with
this story, this is something that happened to
me,
I will never forget the date. It's March
15, 2007.
This is the day my daughter Yasmin was
born, my first baby, and that day I
had a very important interview in Cairo,
to get this scholarship to go to America
to be an interfaith scholar.
And SubhanAllah, I spent that night at the
hospital,
didn't sleep. In the morning, a friend of
mine was supposed to drive me to the,
to the interview
place,
and, it's a very important,
officially sponsored by
the US government to go and talk about
Islam in churches and schools and represent Islam
generally from the Middle East.
So I was applying for this scholarship for
4 months back in 2007,
so I didn't sleep that night. It was
raining in the morning, terrible day, and my
friend,
who was supposed to take me to the
interview was late. So I was late for
the interview for 45 minutes.
It's a terrible thing. It's an international scholarship,
And and more than that, my chances were
very slim
because one of the requirements was to have
a PhD,
and to be a certain age, and I
was very young.
So, my chances were getting very slimmer all
the time. I didn't have a PhD, I
was young, they were asking for someone like
45, 50 years old, and so on and
so forth. I was very late, so as
soon as I stepped in,
they gave me this wicked look, like, what
are you doing? And subhanAllah, some of my
professors from Al Azhar were there to take
the interview so they can go,
and and so I came in. I told
them, okay. Don't shoot. I just came from
the hospital.
My first baby was born. I had a
terrible night. My friend was late. It's raining
outside. This is not my lucky day.
So now I have their sympathy because I
know I just had a baby, I didn't
sleep, and I was in a miserable condition.
So at the end of the interview,
they they one of them said one thing,
he said,
You know you are too young for this
scholarship, we want someone to represent their religion.
Someone scholarly, someone with a PhD, you are
too young.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave me Hidayal
Hidayal Ammah at this time to say one
thing. I know that the head of the,
the interviewing committee was was Christian. He was
American
and and he was the the head of
this, committee to select someone to represent the
Middle East as a Muslim in this scholarship.
So I knew he was Christian,
because I met him before. So I told
him one thing, okay? So you're asking for
someone who's 45 with a PhD.
So I said, Isa alaihis salam, one of
the greatest prophets of all time,
including in Islam, he's one of Qur'an al
Azm, the 5 Prophets of Firmin Zaf. He
was only 27
when he became one of the greatest Prophets,
and he didn't have a PhD either.
And this didn't stop him from becoming a
great man, a great leader, and teacher. So
I said okay, woah woah woah, Halas, enough,
yeah, go go go. They called me that
day, and they said you are going. You
you got the scholarship, you are going. So
who guided me to give this answer? It's
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And wallahi, if it
was not because of him, I would never
say something like this. It has to come
from Allah If
he guides you, you'll be guided. If he
doesn't give you Hidayah, no guidance whatsoever.
So Alhamdulillah, it was because of this, I
got the scholarship, and I was the youngest
one in the team. Everyone else was like,
my father, my mother in in the group.
I was the baby of that,
scholarship. But Alhamdulillah, Hidayah is from Allah
So, the question for last night,
is telling Muhammad SAW Alaihi Wa Salam Nai
Sa'alaika Hidaahu Wazaum Hidayah is not in your
hands, but at the end of Surah Ashura
He said, Wa nakaalatahidi
ilaasalatin Mustaqim. In Islam there are 2 types
of Hidayah.
Hidayah tul Ishat, and this is the job
of the Prophets, to show you the way.
Whether you take it or not, this is
Hidayah from Allah, Hidayah to Tawfiq.
Hidayah to show you the way, and this
is the job of Muhammad salaam,
but Hidayah to Tawfiq to actually take that
way, Suratul Mustaqim, this is the Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, this is something that he does.
There's no contradiction in this case, and we
got 2 winners, brother Yusuf al Mabruk.
Yusuf al Mabruk,
Yakam, Masha Allah, Takbeer. Masha Allah, Masha Allah.
Hidayatul
Tawfiq, shazakAllah, wa raaq Allah. Thank you. And
the
second winner is
brother Omayr
Malik. He's right there, Taghbir.
Arak Khalafik. Finally you have 2 winners. ShazakAllah.
Tonight's question is very very difficult.
Very difficult.
And if you, if you know the answer
inshaAllah, try to send it, and you will
big, you will win bigly, as the guy
says. Bigly.
This is something that Trump uses all the
time, you'll be in bigly, bigly. Okay. So
the question is,
Yeah, let me try to remember the question
because it's so bigly.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says repeatedly in
the Quran every single one would be questioned
about their deeds in Ahrar and Isab, right?
Everyone will be questioned, and the mizan, the
scales, if they are heavy, they are light,
we have Hissab, everyone. And the Mas'ala, everyone
will be questioned. Watefuhum innahu mas'ulun, everyone will
be questioned about their deeds. However,
there's one Ayat Surah Ar Rahman that goes
against us.
Fayouma'ilil
layus alu anlam bihi insumalajan.
On that day, Yawmukriama,
no jinn or human would be questioned about
their deeds or their sins.
So how do you even say? How do
you explain this? So if you know the
answer email me before tomorrow Asrat Imam Mustafa
at Anatolia sent to Abad Sage, zaakkullafay.
