So today's means to get closer to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is to always remember Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
If you remember Allah
this would help you
to better get to know Allah
in this life and to be safe and
secure from the displeasure
and the wrath of Allah
in the life to come.
So when you just say one single word,
when you say Allah, o Allah,
one word,
This is an admission from you, a confession
that Allah exists,
that Allah is a liar, that Allah is
1, that Allah hears, that Allah sees, that
Allah responds
to to the dua.
Because, otherwise, if Allah doesn't exist, Allah is
not one, Allah is not there, how come
you make dua to him?
So this is an admission from you that
Allah
exists, and this is an admission of you,
of your conviction and belief in Allah's names
and attributes.
If you remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in
this life, and you remember death,
and when you remember the grave,
and when you remember the questioning of the
angels, and when you remember the hellfire and
walking on the bridge, and when you remember
the punishment in the hellfire,
this will help you make your way
in this
life.
So when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
numerates
His favors in Surah Al Rahman,
He always reminds us of His favors.
And also, there are some verses in this
particular surah that warns us against the hellfire
and the punishment and the anger and the
wrath and the displeasure of Allah
But how can this be enamor or favor
from
Allah Because you know what awaits you.
If you sin
in the next life, then you protect yourself
in this life, and you do the right
thing. So this is actually a fake, just
like walking on the or driving on the
highway.
If it says there is a rest area
or gas
ahead of you, this is a favor. And
if it also says that there is a
hole in the road where there is a
pump,
this is also a favor.
So showing you the good things and the
bad things on the way is a favor
from Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
So this guy, this dude, he came to
Ibrahim Al Anwar and said, I'm up to
my ears in sin. And no matter how
much you tell me about twitting and about
being a nice guy, I'm gonna listen to
you. Okay?
So what I need from you is some
excuses
that will protect me from the punishment of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and will allow me
to do sins in this life.
So the first excuse,
Ibrahim ibn Adam says, if you want to
disobey Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and commit sins,
don't eat from the risk of Allah
Eat from the risk of somebody else. So
the message
Everything in this universe is is Allah's creation.
So he said, aren't you ashamed
to eat from the provisions, the rest of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? And he
says, okay. It doesn't work.
What's next?
So the second excuse is if you want
to disobey Allah
don't live in His kingdom. Live somewhere else.
Go to Quebec.
It's still in the Kingdom of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. So he said, La Habakkal, everything
in this universe
is Allah's Kingdom. He said, aren't you ashamed
to live in the Kingdom of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala? Even from his provisions, day and
night, did he disobey him?
He said,
Allah sees me day night in public and
in secrecy. He knows everything. So he said,
aren't you ashamed
that Allah
sees you by day night in the al
suebayen?
He said, Ola, Aisha, you're making it very
difficult for me. He said, wait.
Then when the angel of death comes to
you to take your soul, tell him I
ain't coming with you.
This is,
American slang.
In Canadian English, I'm not coming with you.
Yeah.
Okay.
He said, not how long the angel of
death is not going to ask me to
give up my soul. He will just take
it. Okay?
He's not gonna ask me. He will just
take it. So he said, aren't you ashamed
that you are not able to protect yourself
from death, but you still disobey Allah
He said, give me number 5. Let me
go home. Give me number 5. Yeah. You
got no time.
He said, number umrail alfans idha arata and
passullah
