			relieve us from this pandemic, may Allah subhana wa Taala bring us to our massages, I know that this
is something so difficult for all of us that we are at the masjid and especially Soho time, you
know, you go to the masjid after so hold for subtle Fudger with your entire community. But
unfortunately, these are the situations so keep everyone in your dwelling May Allah subhanho wa
Taala open his doors, the doors of his house upon us Mirabella Alameen. Brothers and sisters if I
were to eat something really sweet, okay, imagine after if thought, you know you're eating something
really sweet. And you're you know you're eating it. And you're like, so delicious. So delicious. And
		

			someone tells you that can you please describe to me what exactly is that taste? The first thing you
will say is that I can't describe that to you, you will have to go and taste it for yourself.
Because that is what that is what we call something sweet, right? Something that you can taste. You
really cannot tell anyone how that feels, till they don't get a taste for themselves. Brothers and
sisters, we understand that there's something called sweetness when it comes to food. But there's
also sweetness when it comes to Iman. Yes, there is something called hello what an amen. In fact, I
want to share with you a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, wherein he either used
		

			Salam says in this hadith narrated by an incipient medical Viola to the line. He says Salah THON
that there are three people man couldn't fee he was the Hala water Eman. Whoever has three traits
within themselves. They will savor they will taste the sweetness of faith. And then the first thing
that Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says is that men can Allahu wa rasuluh or have been in a
mercy where Huma, he said Allahu alayhi wa sallam says, Who are the very first of those types of
people who will taste who will taste the sweetness of iman. It is one who loves Allah and His
messenger said Allahu alayhi wa sallam, more than anything else in the world. And then he says,
		

			Well, mine, I have barbudan lair you Hey, boo hoo Illa Illa and one who loves another servant of
Allah subhanho wa Taala and he loves him only for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. And finally,
he said, Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, Well Mejia Kira a year older Phil Kufri. BA is an anakata
Hello, camera, your crew and your coffee. Now, the problem is some says that in the last person is
the one who hates to turn back to disbelief after Allah subhanho wa Taala has saved him just as he
despises and he dislikes to be thrown into the fire or Jahannam there's a hadith is mentioned is
motif Macaulay it is mentioned in Bukhari and Muslim imam. No, we're not going to lie. I didn't want
		

			to explain this hadith he says that what does it mean to have the Hala with an Iman, he says that
this is a feeling that first of all, only the person who is going through this feeling only they can
describe what this feeling is. It is when you put yourself through hardship in difficulty, only to
please Allah subhanho wa Taala and only to only to live by the practices of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. Once again, just like when you're eating something sweet, you may not be able to
describe it. Likewise, when a person goes through the difficulty, then they are going through the
sweetness that will allow you no one can feel that they cannot even probably describe it. In fact,
		

			just to give you an example, going back to the story of the addition of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam when I say the more than the person who will call out the event in Masjid Nabawi
		

			The first thing, the first name that comes to our mind is who bedarra. The alotta. And so once it's
a habit of the alotta on whom we're sitting would be done. And they were asking him about the
difficulties that he went through. As you know, before he was before his freedom was, or before his,
he was freed. And he mentioned that there were times when he was put on the hot surface ground, and
rocks were being put on his chest, to ensure that the floor or the ground and the heat on the
ground, it comes in contact with his back. And just think about the suffering that be that is going
through. Not only that, but there were times where people were dragging him in the streets. Think
		

			about someone dragging you in a street, the pain that a person goes through. And then the question
that was always asked is that oh, Bilal, how did you go through that? What made you go through that?
On one end, you said la either Hey, Lola, and they made you go through this, but no matter how much
they will do to you, you were still still so adamant. You were still so steadfast. Oberland will
lead that. And he says Mazeppa, to Moratalla, dab Behala. Within Eman Subhanallah, he says the
bitterness of the torture in me mixed with the sweetness of faith. And because of that, he says, For
the Lord Hala water him Iman. So you have the either the torment and the punishment, the bitterness
		

			of that torment that he's going through, versus the holla. Within Eman. It is a constant battle
within him. Now if the bitterness of torture overcame him, he may would have given up. But he says
the sweetness of faith overcame me, meaning that no matter what it was, no matter what difficulty I
was going through, because at the end of the day, I know that I'm pleasing Allah and His Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that feeling and that sweetness that was coming to me the sweetness of
iman, is something that I cannot describe it. And just to give you an a beautiful example, you know,
something that I thought about, you know, especially for those people who love to eat very spicy
		

			food, you don't have you? Have you seen someone that when they eat something really spicy. Imagine
if you saw someone who ate something really spicy, and they're sweating. And they're telling and
they're telling you give me water Give me water. Now if you see a person like that, you would say
that this person is going through pain. I mean, think about Imagine, imagine this a person is
sweating. And there's a Give me some water, give me some water, you think that they're going through
pain? But Subhanallah if you ask that person who's eating that sweet food, or that spicy food, I
apologize. And you ask them that? How is that food? They will tell you? So amazing food. So you told
		

			them that while on one end, you're you're sweating. And it seems like you're in pain. But they will
tell you that that spicy this is that key. I cannot explain to you how amazing that spice is just
like that Bilal is going through this torture. But he's saying there's something sweet about this.
This is brothers and sisters that holla to Iman, or think about this. Another sign or another way to
understand this Halawa to Iman is think about a person who just converted to Islam. And I'm sure
that there are a lot of times a lot of experiences and a lot of situations where you have seen a
person who has gone through this conversion process. Now, you know, subhanAllah as an Imam, there's
		

			a lot of people I've given shahada to. And there are times when I've seen people cry. And I've seen
people I've seen at times people who don't cry, and as always came to my mind that why exactly are
there crying, like you know, you cry when you go through a very emotional experience. There are
people that they go through a journey to come to Islam, a very difficult a very painful journey to
come to Islam. Or just think about this. Imagine if a person is far from Allah, a person does
believe in Allah. But their life is not connected to Allah subhanho wa taala. And all of a sudden
one day, just they turn their life around, and they're making dua to Allah. And while they're making
		

			dua to Allah, they're crying. They're crying. This person is going through this sweetness of faith,
going back to the person who just converted to Islam, and they're crying. They're crying. Why?
Because they went through that journey, and they know what it took to get all the way here versus a
person who may not cry. A lot of times when you ask them they will say that they studied this
religion and that religion and Islam
		

			made more sense and that's why I became a Muslim. They may have probably not gone through a journey
like the other person did. And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says in, in a
hadith narrated by a best when the Allah tryin, this is the uncle of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. He says that Papa Amil Iman the Prophet alayhi salam says that he has tasted the sweetness
of faith. Who which person is that person? He says mineralia biLlahi Robben that person who says
that I am pleased with Allah as my Arab will Islamic deen and and Islam as being my code of life My
way of life in my Deen will be Muhammad Rasul Allah and I am pleased with Muhammad being my Rasool.
		

			This is what brings a person closer to Allah, that when you say that everything is in the hands of
Allah subhanho wa taala. When you say that muy bien is Islam, everything that I represent is Islam.
And the person that I follow is Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that is when the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that when a person has this mentality and this concept,
then this is when a person will have that Gautama Eman. The Prophet of Islam says that he has
tasted, this person will taste the sweetness of faith and Iman. And just to you know, SubhanAllah.
In addition to that, I want to also share with you that this is not just only a hadith, but this is
		

			also a very beautiful dua to in fact, I want to share with you that this is from the Hadith of the
Prophet SAW Allah why do some that we find that anyone who recites three times and just think about
his brothers and sisters, how long does it take to recite Ravi to be lucky Robin? Will Islam Medina
and William Mohammed maybe yeah, it probably just takes three seconds, three seconds. If you even
accumulate, how long it takes to recite this three times, will probably 10 seconds at the maximum.
Listen to this reward. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has mentioned that anyone who resize
this three times the morning and three times the evening, it is upon Allah think about this, it is
		

			upon Allah, to please Him, and to be pleased with him on the day of judgment. Subhanallah think
about knowing that if I recite this three times the morning and three times in the evening in sha
Allah, it probably takes 20 seconds a day, 20 seconds throughout 24 hours. That's all you need. And
it is incumbent upon Allah to be pleased with this person on the day of judgment and to please this
person Subhanallah so this is why this is a very beautiful, not only a hadith, but dua that we
should all memorize. Finally, another sign of this Halawa to Iman, in a hadith Narrated by Abu
Huraira ova Allah I know where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says mon hubba Aug De Palma
		

			Eman whoever would love to taste the flavor of fade the sweetness of iman fall you hibel Mara lair
you hey boo 11 Allah azza wa jal, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that when you love
someone, love that person only for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. Now, just to give you an
example, what does this mean? Because I'm sure I'm sure you've heard that to love someone for the
sake of Allah. And to not like someone. You know, a lot of people say hate someone, hate is a very
strong word, I would never use the word hate. But I will say dislike someone or despise someone for
the sake of Allah. What does that mean? It means that a lot of times today when we connect with
		

			other people, when I respect someone else, when I love someone else, and I show that I love that
person, you know why we do that in many cases, is because there is something about this person that
I want, or we know that if I am friends with this person, then this is a connection. And this is
building me building my network, that tomorrow if I need something from this person, I can give him
a call and I can get something from him. A lot of times our connections and our relationships are,
you know, benefit based. We don't do it because this person is my brother. He says La ilaha illAllah
Muhammad Rasool Allah, that's why I love this person. That's all it is. There are very few
		

			situations where we love another person only for Allah sake. Because a lot of times as I said, we're
building relationships because at the end of the day, I want to benefit my dunya. So this is this is
why it is important to love someone for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala This also means that I
have no connection with this person but that because this person brings me closer to Allah subhanho
wa Taala This is why I love this person. And then on the on the flip side you have despising another
person for the sake of Allah and what that means is that we cannot see a
		

			times either we're going to dislike someone completely that means that if the I dislike a certain
behavior or a certain action of theirs, that a lot of times we go as far as disliking the person
altogether that is in itself one extreme by the way. And then the other extreme is what that will we
find in the Quran, where Allah subhanho wa Taala has mentioned about Bani Israel in Loreena Lavina
Kapha roaming Bani Israel either allegedly selling the Buddha or IE seven Imodium there Lika Bhima
also walk out on Yatra doing people bunnies saw in a group of them were cursed why canula yet and a
homeowner among caring for aloo they had a friend, that friend will do something wrong. And then
		

			they will say that what you're doing is wrong. But because he's my buddy, you know, he's my friend.
At the end of the day I don't you know, I know that he's doing something haram. But because I can
get some benefit from him. There's something with him or something that he has, or a resource that
he has that I can benefit from him. So that's why I'm going to remain friends with him no matter
what the situation is. Our dean has taught us a balance. You don't dislike the person completely.
You cannot completely just be friends and completely ignore what that person is doing. Our dean has
taught us a middle ground. Okay, Attica John Locke, Come on Martin was author you are a middle
		

			ground nation, and how do we behave in that kind of situation, we are connected with that person, we
still are going to behave with that person with the club of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
because a lot will even Musa Alehissalaam to talk to fit around in a humble way. Now Allah who is
that can Oh Yaksha probably this may be this may bring him closer to Allah. So we're going to behave
with that person, like the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. At the same time, we're going to
despise that one thing that he's doing, and we're going to explain that to them, that no matter what
it is, what you're doing is absolutely wrong. And that's why I may not be able to socialize with you
		

			too much because of what you're doing. This is what it means to disconnect yourself from a person
for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala no other reason, just because this person is doing something
that can that can displease Allah subhanho wa Taala This is why we are disconnecting from that
person. So this is what it means to like someone for the sake of Allah dislike someone for the sake
of Allah. Once again, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has told us that you will save her and
you will taste the sweetness of faith when you love someone only for the sake of Allah. Because
think about this. If you like someone for the sake of if you like someone for worldly gain, and you
		

			don't get it, you're going to dislike that person. If you get it, you're going to feel hypocritical
inside you're going to feel terrible inside. I just use this person. This is why when you do it for
Allah sake, you're not worried about whether he's gonna say thank you to you or not how many times
we get so upset I helped you out and you didn't say thank you to me. But when you do it for Allah
sake, when we do it for Allah sake, then we are expecting the appreciation not from them, but from
Allah subhanho wa taala. So this is why this is the Halawa to Iman, I ask Allah subhana wa Taala to
give us this Halawa to Eema and may Allah subhanho wa Taala give us this ability to do those right
		

			things, to love each other only for Allah sake, and do those things that can bring us closer to
Allah subhanho wa taala. And not only that, but grant us the sweetness of faith and Hala within Iman
in our life. Finally, I will I just want to just recite just for you to us that we find in the Quran
and the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, things that we can do and do ours that we
can do to revive and to increase our faith. And you can hopefully memorize these to us in sha Allah,
if you want you can even even recite with me if you know these do eyes, and you can go back later on
and find these devices in sha Allah in the Quran. The very first one is from SOTL Sudha Ali Imran
		

			the third surah in the Quran. ayah number eight, Allah says Robina and this is a dua that we all are
making. And once again, if you're watching this at the time of Soho, please do make this dua Robina
Oh Allah Allah to zero Kulu BANA do not let our hearts deviate by the it had a dinner after you have
given us guidance. Well habla Nam Illidan Kurama Oh Allah grant us mercy from you truly in NACA
until the herb Oh Allah, you are the one who bestows upon other people. And the second dua that I
will recite is a it is actually an idea from Susan Girard. And the idea is a very beautiful idea. It
is talking about those people who have faith, but I'm adding the beginning I'm adding in the very
		

			beginning Allah Houma and I'm supplicating to Allah subhanaw taala so we ask Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah, Allah Houma O Allah Habibur Elayna Eman, O Allah make faith
		

			Then eemaan Beloved to us and beautiful to us was a in houfy Akula fecal Obinna and make it

doors that we have made and there's so many more doors in sha Allah every so what inshallah we were
		

			going through some do as quickly, we won't go through the explanation of those to us, but I'll be
reciting those to us Inshallah, you can recite those two hours with me and go back later on to these
videos and get these two hours in sha Allah. I ask Allah subhana wa Taala to keep us steadfast upon
our deen, may Allah subhanaw taala increase in our faith, may Allah subhanho wa Taala Make our faith
strong and in Him and ask ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala that may He gives us the ability to taste emaan not
