00:04:21--> 00:04:41

I ask Allah subhana wa Taala that just as he has gathered us here today on this day of Juma May Allah subhanho wa Taala gather us with our families and gender for those who Allah in the companionship of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his Sahaba I mean rabbil aalameen May Allah Subhana Allah subhanho wa Taala make our last armor our best armor? I mean, you know, but I mean

00:04:43--> 00:05:00

when we talk about the word Islam, what does the word Islam mean? The reason why we have to go back to the basics over and over again, is because the basic is the foundation to our deen. Today we want to talk about very stuff

00:05:00--> 00:05:39

sophisticated topics we want to talk about all we always want to talk about things that are plaguing our society and so forth. But what Allah He we have to always come back to the basics. We have to understand what is Islam mean? We have to understand what is Iman mean? We have to understand what does a thaw? I mean, we have to understand what does your booty mean? What does it mean to be a slave to Allah? subhanho wa taala? What does it mean to serve Allah? subhanho wa taala? What does it mean that Islam is my way of life? We have to always come back to the basics. Today Inshallah, I want to talk about a very big problem that we have today in our society. And we have today in the

00:05:39--> 00:06:17

Muslim world, we have a submission problem. What does that mean that I have a submission problem, it means that i Today we live in a time where everyone is saying, I don't need anyone to come and tell me how to live my life. I don't need any shaker Imam to tell me what's right and what's wrong. I know what's right and what's wrong. I don't need anyone to tell me what is halal and what is haram? I don't need anyone to come and tell me what's in the Quran and what's in the Sunnah. I don't need anyone to come and tell me how to treat my family, or how to do things in my life. I don't need anyone to come and tell me how to do business. I'll do business as it fits.

00:06:18--> 00:07:02

The reason why we are in this problem today is because we have a submission problem. We don't get to choose these kinds of things, brothers and sisters. It is Allah who gets to decide when we say that you cannot tell me what we're saying to indirectly to Allah subhanho wa Taala is that you don't get to tell me what how to live my life, though we're saying this to the other human being, but indirectly we're saying this to Allah subhanho wa taala. We live in a time where everyone has an opinion. And not only that, but has become such has become so bizarre nowadays, that not only does everyone have their own opinion, but they feel like the My opinion is to be given credence, my

00:07:02--> 00:07:33

opinion has merit no matter how wrong it could be. It is it is an opinion and you need to give respect to my opinion. So much so that if a person stands here today and says that even though it is day outside, they say no, it is night outside, someone will say no, this is so wrong, what you're saying it is not night outside, it is day outside. They will say today that how can you disrespect my opinion, because it is my opinion, my opinion needs merit, my opinion needs credence and so forth.

00:07:34--> 00:08:18

This is the time where that we live in everyone has their own definition, their own version, their own Tafseer of what the Quranic is mean, everyone has their own opinion of what the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu or yourself means, though he may go against the teachings of the ASLEF and the seller. And there is no one who has understood this idea of the Quran, or this hadith the Prophet SAW Salem throughout the history of mankind. But this person says that you know what it is my opinion, and my opinion matters. Every opinion matters nowadays. And when every single opinion matters, then there are going to be opinions that go against the expert opinions. And when you go

00:08:18--> 00:09:00

against the expert opinion, then that is when you become a victim of your own ego. And when you become a victim of your ego, then you're not able to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. This is where we are today as a Muslim Ummah. Everyone is saying you cannot tell me what to do. And everyone's saying that I have my own opinion. When you sit down and you listen to people speak, sometimes you want to pull your hair out there, how can they come and draw such conclusions from the Hadith of the Prophet? How can they draw such conclusions from the Quran? It is, but because everyone has an opinion, and you have to show respect to their opinion. And if you don't

00:09:00--> 00:09:41

show respect to someone's opinion, no matter how bizarre it sounds, that you get considered as a person who's harsh, you are a person who's inconsiderate, you are a person who has no feelings and then slowly and gradually you get cancelled in the in the community. Why? Because you have not agreed to someone's opinion. So what do you do in that kind of situation? Go back to the Quran. What is shaytaan? Do shaytaan also had an opinion too, right? When Allah subhana wa taala, who is the expert? He's saying makes sense that to add demonic Islam, he says no, I have an opinion of my own. And my opinion not only does it make sense, let me prove to you why it makes sense. And a hiatal min

00:09:41--> 00:10:00

halacha taneema Naryn wahala kata human pain. He not only did he have his own opinion, but he stuck to his opinion. And what she thought was trying to do is he was trying to gain gain credibility over his opinion. You see what happens after that? Allah subhanho wa Taala removed him from his

00:10:00--> 00:10:46

Mercy, Allah subhanho wa Taala removed him from Jannah and forever Allah subhanho wa Taala made him rejected. And Allah subhanho wa Taala has declared that he will be in the fire Jahannam brothers and sisters when we talk about submission, when we talk about submission submission means that I don't have an opinion before Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says in the Quran what am I kinda mean in one minute in either the law who are Sulu who am Ron and yakun Allah who will hear Ottoman Ambani him when Allah and His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they have made a decision about something they have declared something, then after that you and I we don't have an opinion. I cannot say you

00:10:46--> 00:11:05

cannot tell me what is right and what is wrong. And you cannot tell me how to live my life. We cannot even say those kinds of sentences because then we have a submission problem. And if I don't have if I'm not submitting to Allah subhanho wa Taala you are submitting to something else besides Allah and that is for your own ego.

00:11:06--> 00:11:29

What does submission mean? Submission also means that I do not object to Allah subhanho wa Taala I do not object to Allah's commands. I do not object to the orders of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, no matter what it is, we always comply Allah subhanho wa Taala and the Quran he says to the Sahaba of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:11:31--> 00:12:11

He is so sort of questioning and he's telling them that look at the submission. Look out people, the people of bunnies saw how they submitted to Musa and how they did not in fact how they did not submit to Musa and ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is reminding the Sahaba that you're not to become like bunnies saw in. Allah is telling the Sahaba I'm 2d duna antas Alou Rasulullah come come as to either musalman oven, do you intend to question your messenger? The way bunnies saw you to question their messenger? They're not questioning they were not asking you a question to Musala you some they were questioning Musala Islam there's a difference. One is asking you a question. One is questioning.

00:12:11--> 00:12:53

When you say questioning, you are objecting when you are objecting there is a submission problem there. So Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling the Sahaba that bernisa Elodie saw the signs they saw the Huck they saw the sea parting they saw fit on being destroyed right in front of their eyes. Yet even after that, when Musala you son would tell them things to do. They would die Musa alayhis salam why because they had a submission problem. They were not willing to fully submit to Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah is saying do not become like them. When your messenger in other words, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he tells you something, you are not to question the Prophet

00:12:53--> 00:13:33

salallahu alayhi wa sallam, though you may ask the Hikmah behind it, but if you don't understand the Hikmah behind it and so forth, your responsibility is to comply completely. And then the next part of submission is that some some people may say, Well, what if it does not make sense to us? Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us in the Quran, that part of submission brothers and sisters also means that you don't have to always understand the man behind it. You don't have to always understand why Allah subhanho wa Taala is doing it. But you have to put your trust in Allah subhanho wa taala. Just like when you go and you buy a car, you don't understand how the car works. You don't understand the

00:13:33--> 00:14:14

electrical engineering behind the car. You don't understand how the engine has been put together, but you trust the company and you say that this company is a very reputable company. It has a good reputation, no matter what their engine is made like I will buy their car because I trust that manufacturer. Allah subhanho wa Taala today we are more willing to trust cars. But when ALLAH SubhanA wa is telling us do this and do that we often question Why do you tell me to do this is as if we have more trust and the human manufacturer that Allah subhanho wa Taala that is what's happening over here. We have a trust issue when it comes to Allah subhanho wa Taala and that's why

00:14:14--> 00:14:52

we're not willing to submit. So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us in the Quran, when a Naka Taberna are they him and Nico Tulou and forsaken? Are we who do mean Dr. Deacon, Marfa Alou, Illa kalido men whom Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us a very hypothetical situation, not as it not like Allah subhanho wa Taala will tell us to do something like this. But Allah is trying to drive a point home, Allah subhanho wa Taala is trying to explain to us a very important concept here, that if I were to tell you to do something very bizarre, very outrageous.

00:14:54--> 00:14:59

The fact that Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling us to do it. There will be hikma, in that you

00:15:00--> 00:15:38

Even if it's completely considered as wrong, and once again, Allah will not tell us to do something that is wrong. But the point is that no matter what comes from Allah subhanho wa Taala though it makes complete it makes sense to you, or it has no sense to you. It does not make any sense at all. It goes against all the laws of logic, but because it comes from Allah subhanho wa taala, Allah is telling us that there is in it for you. Allah says, if I were to ordain upon you, a nickel to and fro seconder you take your lives. Allah is telling us if I were to tell you to take your lives, would Allah tell us to take our own lives? No, but he's saying that if I were to tell you to do

00:15:38--> 00:16:22

something like this, or I would tell you I will tell you, a wicked human dare come that leave your homes, something that goes against all logic, Allah would never tell us to leave our homes. But Allah say if I were to tell you to take your own lives, and to leave your homes, Allah says Maffei Lu Illa, Pollino min home, very few of you will do this. Well unknown for Aluma you are gonna be here lecan, Hydra, Allahu Allah said, if you were to do something even like this, that goes against all logic, but because it is coming from Allah subhanho wa Taala they will be hard enough for you. What we need to understand brothers and sisters is as we progress, and as we go year by year, will

00:16:22--> 00:17:05

Allah you're going to hear such things in society, you're going to hear such things in the media, and you're going to think to yourself that how crazy is this? But this is why today when you see so many people, everyone has a submission problem. Everyone is not willing to complete submit to Allah subhana what to Allah, Allah says in the Quran, yah, yah Latina, odo Hulu facil me Kapha enter into the deen completely Islam is not for us to pick and choose. That is exactly what Bernie saw yielded, and this is why they were destroyed. The next question is that why do we have a submission problem? Why are we not able to fully submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala there are two things that are

00:17:05--> 00:17:47

destroying all of us. One is called a shallot and one is called Shabbat. A Shabbat. A Shabbat means these desires over and over again, the desire to have wealth, the desire to have dunya and dunya and dunya and the desire to have more and more and then not only that, but the desire to be amused all the time. And then not only that, but then the desire to commit immorality and so forth. Once again when it comes to duniya Allah tells us in the Quran, we have learned from the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW Selim, there is nothing wrong in attaining the dunya as long as we do it the right way. We find Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu who are very well off extremely rich, they were more rich to you and I can

00:17:47--> 00:18:25

possibly imagine more rich than the richest person sitting over here in this gathering right now. But they never let their they never let the dunya get in the way of attaining Jana, they always made the akhirah a priority and they always made sure that whatever they earn it is to the halal and the permissible way. So usually when it comes to these kinds of things, the Shaohua they get in the middle and that is what destroys a person and stops a person from submitting themselves to Allah subhanho wa Taala and the next one is a Shabbat which is doubts and misunderstandings when it comes to the deen we have doubts in Allah subhanho wa Taala we have doubts in the way that ALLAH SubhanA

00:18:25--> 00:19:09

wa Taala does things we have doubted the decision making of Allah subhanho wa Taala and that is why we're not able to fully submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala and Allah reminds us in the Quran, when he says without Islam, yada wudu in Jamnagar Khalifa 10 Fill out Falcon bein a NASA Bill Hawk, Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds that would the I gave you a position of authority and your job is to make sound judgments to make decisions that are correct decisions and then he says wala Tabea el Hawa do not follow your desires. Do not follow your desires. Because as a result of you following your desires for you like a unsavoury the law, you will go astray. So that is why a Chawan and a Shabbat

00:19:10--> 00:19:53

are the two things that are destroying us. Allah says also in the Quran, II type your own Levana woman will enforce Subhanallah the word of one is in reference to a SHA two a Shabbat and the word Tao will enforce is in reference to the ASHA Hawa Allah subhanho wa Taala is combining the Shiva had indeed showered in one ayah and then Allah subhanho wa Taala says the only thing that can guide them is what are the Jha Whom middleby Him and who that that guidance will come from Allah subhanho wa Taala and what is that guidance that guidance is in the Quran? Finally, I will say that what are the consequences when you and I we do not submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala I'll quickly mention that in

00:19:53--> 00:19:59

the next part of the my hotbar I asked Allah subhana wa Taala to make us amongst those who fully submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala and make

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

May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us from amongst those who have your theme and who have Iman in Allah subhanho wa Taala robola Amin BarakAllahu li Walakum Philippa and Aleem want to find out what can we do with the Hakeem and stuff with Allah Hi Lea welcome what is in Musa manifesto Pharaoh in who who will have a full Rahim?

00:20:25--> 00:20:58

Bismillah Al Rahman Rahim Al hamdu lillah Allahu wa stallion who want to start from when I was building minestrone and fusina Musa Medina may you had to hit it off Ramadan Allah whom I knew little fella the Allah wants to Allah illallah wa wa actually kala wants to know Muhammad Abdul rasuluh about what are the consequences when we don't submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala first of all, is brothers and sisters. It does not affect Allah subhanho wa Taala if we submit to Allah, it does not affect Allah, if we don't submit to Allah, it does not affect Allah subhanho wa Taala but there are consequences which you and I we can suffer. The very first thing is, as Allah says in the

00:20:58--> 00:21:40

Quran, a person who becomes a slave to their shanwa then they will be misguided and they'll go far away from Allah subhanho wa taala. Number two is there is no freedom when you go away from Allah subhanho wa Taala because when you have when you go away from Allah, when people do not submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala than they will submit to every other thing besides Allah subhanho wa Taala and everything is changing all the time today what makes other people what makes other people happy, tomorrow will make other people upset. So hence you become a slave to your your desires and you become a slave to the society and so forth. Hence there is no freedom in your life. And finally, a

00:21:40--> 00:22:18

person is despaired from the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala they are devoid from the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala just like shaytaan when he says the my opinion matters and your opinion, I Allah subhanaw taala is opinion does not matter here and he's trying to prove his opinion and try to justify his opinion, no matter how wrong he was. Allah subhana wa Taala deprived him from his mercy. When we are in that kind of situation when we don't submit to Allah within we are deprived from Allah's mercy I ask Allah subhana wa to protect us. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make us among those who constantly submit to Allah subhanho wa Taala no matter what the circumstances are, Allah human
