aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:52
			We've reached the verse where Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Daniel Salatin stuck in that guidance to
the straight path, oh, Allah. And you know, this topic of guidance is a very touchy and sensitive
topic to me. Because I've seen so many things happen in my life, I have which I want to share a
couple of stories with you.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:17
			You know, of all the things we take granted, in this world, I think guidance is the biggest thing
that we take for granted. You know, we often say that you don't know the value of something until
you lose it. And this is most particular, when it comes to guidance, that you do not realize how
valuable your guidance is, from Allah subhanho wa, taala. Up until you lost that guidance. And I
want to share a couple of stories with you.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:54
			Growing up, I had a pretty difficult childhood, in the sense of my relationship with my sister, it
was a very difficult relationship for me SubhanAllah. You know, I remember every time she would
bring a friend over, it wasn't sufficient that I'd have to hide in the basement. But I'd have to
leave the house altogether. You know, I could never meet any of our friends, I was too big of an
embarrassment. And what ended up happening was, I'd always end up going to my aunt's and uncle's
house. And they had a cousin or so they had a daughter that was six months younger than he was my
cousin. And naturally since they went to their house, so often, we developed almost like a sibling
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:27
			like relationship, in the sense that everything became competitive in nature. So when I would get my
report card, my parents, you know, rather than focusing on how I did, they would ask me how did your
cousin do? Did you beat her or not? You know, that was the type of relationship that ended up
happening. And, you know, I had a personal victory, because you always beat me and everything. She
beat me in school, she had a better computer than me, got her. Her. She got a bicycle before me.
Everything happened before me. Except that until when we went for our driver's license. And you
know, literally on that day, I was like, I had enough. You know, I'm the gal like she can't get her
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:41
			driver's license before me. It's not right. You know, and I'm making dua to Allah literally, I was
making blood to Allah, I'm like, oh, Allah, please let her feel today. You know, don't let her pass.
And, you know, she comes home, she did a driving exam. And she's all crying. And in the back of the
house, I'm like,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:55
			and, you know, that was the type of relationship we had. Obviously, I Peter, I got my driver's
license before the thumbs up. But that's not the point. Just to exemplify our relationship even
further, we will memorize the Koran together. And I remember,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:30
			you know, we were competing in either finishing juice, I'm not just about like, I can't tell which
juice it was. But I finished first in that leg, literally by a day only. And the day we finished I'm
like, so did you finish your night? And she's like, No, I didn't sound like Haha, sucker. You know,
you suck. And that's like the competition we had. So just to give you further glimpses, I remember
that when we went to driving school together, you know, we walked into class, there was no other
seats, except for a seat next to a girl. And you know, she already had a seat next to the girl. But
when I got there, there's no other seat except for a girl. And she was like, so hardcore. She was
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:02
			like, you know, don't sit over there. It's not permissible for you to sit next to a girl. And I
remember that it's a lot of time came and it was time to pray. And I'm like, I'll just pray when I
get go home. And she's like, No, you have to pray right now before you delete like that. You can't
delay the Salah whatsoever. And then I remember we got a bit older, you know, she wanted to wear hit
jilbab her parents didn't want her to wear jilbab they're like, this is too much. You're getting too
too religious at this time. So I went to attend to see that argued with her parents to words in the
pub. And eventually she started wearing syllabub. Now, I eventually went to Medina and she went on
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:38
			to continue her secular education. I eventually came back and you know, the jilbab had come off, and
she's just wearing hijab. a year or two went by even the hijab came off. Another year went by and
the Salah had been abandoned altogether, not a single Salah is being prayed. And then you know, I
speak to her parents and I'm like, what's going on what happened? You know, I'm remember all these
days where she's like, Don't sit next to women. Don't delay your Salah. You know, we're competing in
memorizing Quran. And now she's become an individual that doesn't wear the hijab doesn't wear the
jilbab. And in fact, if you tried to bring up religion with her whatsoever, you know, she just
		
00:04:38 --> 00:05:00
			explodes on you, you know, just goes absolutely ballistic. I remember another example studying at
Islamic University of Medina. This was a brother who was like four or five years senior to me. He
graduated from the faculty of study at the same faculty that I graduated from. And I remember you
know, following up on him, what happens to him after and he went back to the states that's where he
was speaking
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			And eventually he left the deen of Allah subhanaw taala. together as a graduate from Cydia, he ended
up leaving the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala altogether. There's another example that was recently
brought to my attention. There's this famous series of books on Al Qaeda by Sheikh Omar, Lashkar in
English, we have it in eight volumes. Similarly, you know, this book, it was translated into Spanish
as well. And the sister who translated this book into Spanish, you know, she spent a good 10 years
or so translating this work as specialists in Al Qaeda. You know, later on you find out that even
her you know, she left the deen of Allah subhanaw taala she no longer believes in God. And you keep
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:15
			seeing examples of this and it's like Subhanallah what is going on in this world? These are people
who stuck to their Deen so strictly and they held on so tightly, word, where do they go? What
happens to them and that is when you truly realize that guidance is a blessing from Allah subhana wa
Tada. And like all other blessings, Allah subhanho wa Taala he gives it and he takes it and this is
why guidance is so important to hold on to so important to thank Allah subhanho wa Taala for because
you never know when Allah subhanaw taala is going to take it away. And the biggest example of this
from the self is the example of Abubakar rhodiola. One and the first two years of Abu Bakar when he
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:51
			used to lead the Salah, particularly in silico Margaret, they noticed that in the third rock of of
Maghreb aboubaker rhodiola, one who's taking an excessively long time that you know, usually the
Imam, he's only going to read circle fattier, and that's where he'll stop bacara giovannucci knew he
was silently reciting something else and he would start crying. So after several weeks had gone by
the Sahaba asked in the other bucket What are you reciting? What is it that's making you cry in the
third record, and you're only reading Sergio Fatiha and Nabokov? Allah Juana we mentioned at that
time, then in this locker, I started reciting the verse from Surah, Allah marohn, Allah subhana wa
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			tada says, Robin Allah to say
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:33
			that Oh Allah do not deviate our hearts after you have, you know, guided it. Look at the example of
Abu Bakar of the Allahu anhu that even his deathbed his very last words was a dua to Allah subhanho
wa Taala that Oh Allah let me die as a Muslim, the very last words he made to Allah subhanho wa
Taala were Oh Allah, let me die as a Muslim. So you see the example of Abu Bakar, the Allahu anhu,
and how important it was for him to always stay on the back path to guidance, because in this world,
it protects you from humiliation and disgrace, and it is a source of happiness and tranquility. And
in the Hereafter, this guidance is the reason for you entering paradise, this guidance is the reason
		
00:07:33 --> 00:08:14
			for you entering paradise. So this is just a small introduction into this dwad that we make in
seventh in our souls 17 times a day. Then a Serato Mr. Kane, so that Allah subhanho wa Taala always
guides us. So now let us take a look at a couple of things in this verse. The very first thing we
realize in this verse is that this is the first time in the verse that we are now supplicating to
Allah subhanaw taala the first three verses, this factual information for us, the second and the
fourth verse, we're stating something to Allah subhana wa tada we're telling Allah subhanho wa Taala
that you alone we worship and you're alone we seek help from but now when we get to a dinner Serato
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:53
			Mr. Cream, you notice that this is the first time we're supplicating to Allah subhanho wa Taala so
will we learn from this is the etiquettes of supplicating to Allah subhana wa tada the advocates of
making dua to Allah subhana wa tada the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was narrated
in Abu Dhabi. He says that the Messenger of Allah Allah sent him or her the man supplicating in
prayer, he did not glorify Allah, nor did he invoke blessings on the Prophet, the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, he has made do I in haste, he then called him and said to him, or
to those around him, if any of you supplicates he should commence by glorifying his Lord and
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:32
			praising him, he should then invoke Peace and blessings on the Prophet. and thereafter he should
supplicate to Allah for anything that he wishes. So this is what you learn from this suit over here,
that at the beginning, you start off by praising Allah subhanaw taala. And this is from the
etiquettes of making dua, that you always start off by praising Allah subhanaw taala and then asking
what you want to ask for a second thing you learn from this verse over here, is that the command a
dinner, it is in the imperative form. What does this mean? That when you look at the Arabic
language, every verb will take one of three forms, it will either take the past, it will take the
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:41
			present, or it will take the imperative. What does this mean? So, for example, you take the verb to
go. So the past tense of the verb to go just look at
		
00:09:43 --> 00:10:00
			the past tense of the verb to go is the harbor. And this is the past tense. So he went would be the
harbor, then the present tense is yes hubzu. So he is currently going and then the imperative is a
command in hub. So
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			He you command the person go and that person will go thereafter. Similarly, in this verse, what you
see is the imperative that we are saying to Allah subhanaw taala, a dinner, a dinner mean guide us,
this is not press, it's not present, but is the imperative it is a command. Now, you will notice
that in the Arabic language, the command has two forms. So the command when it comes from a higher
authority, it means it is something that needs to be done. So when you when a parent tells you take
out the garbage, it means you have to take out the garbage. When Allah tells us to pray, it means
that we have to pray because it's coming from a higher authority. But now what if it's coming from
		
00:10:37 --> 00:11:14
			the lower level? What if it What if it's coming from the lower authority, what is coming, what it's
coming from those who are subjugated those who are the quote unquote servants or those who are in
servitude, then what we understand from the imperative over here is the need of desperation that you
the only time someone who is in a lower authority will command someone who is in the higher
authority when it's absolute desperation. And this is what the surah is showing us that it is such
an absolute state of desperation that we are in need of guidance. That is why we use the imperative
towards Allah subhanho wa Taala even though the regular case scenario is that you would not use the
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:56
			imperative towards a higher authority, but it is used over here because it is an absolute state of
desperation to seek guidance from Allah subhanho wa Taala. Now continuing with the advocates of da
ignore claim, Rahim Allah, he mentions this verse in a da da, the sickness in the cure a book that
he has, and he talks about the etiquettes of drawing. I want to expand on that a little bit, because
this is what this verse is there to show us. Serve. No claim, Rahim Allah. He goes on to say, when
the servant combines in his supplications presence of the heart, and it being attentive and devoting
itself solely to Allah, sincerely asking him for the desired matter. Doing so at one of the six
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:41
			times when the supplication is more likely to likely to be answered, and these being the last third
of the night, at the time of the event, between the abandoned the a comma at the end of the
prescribed prayers. From the time the Imam ascends the puppet to the time the prayer is finished on
the day of Juma and the last hour, the last hour after the prayer of ourselves on the day of Juma.
Along this the servant appends fear and reverence in his heart, besieging his Lord in a state of
humility, and submissiveness. He faces the Qibla and is in a state of purity. He raises his hands to
Allah and begins by praising and extolling him, then he invokes Peace and blessings upon the Prophet
		
00:12:41 --> 00:13:23
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he proceeds mentioning his need by seeking forgiveness from
Allah. And then he earnestly and sincerely makes his request as one who is needy and impoverished,
impoverished supplicating. To him out of hope and fear. He seeks the means of getting close to him
by mentioning his names and attributes, and making the religion sincerely for him alone, before
making supplication he gives in charity, if all this is done, then the supplication will never be
rejected, especially if the servant employs the supplications that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam informed us would be accepted, or if its application included, the Greatest Name of
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:57
			Allah subhanho wa Taala, or if its application included the Greatest Name of Allah subhanaw taala.
So let us look at the etiquettes of derogative nakahara Allah mentions, so the first thing he
mentions, is the attentiveness of the heart, that when you're making dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala,
the heart needs to be attentive. You'll notice that this is where a lot of us go wrong, that Salah
will finish we'll raise our hands, we'll make dua, but our hearts really aren't into it. We're
thinking about matters of the dunya we're thinking about other problems that we have, we're thinking
about what we're going to be doing, but the heart is not attentive in making blood to Allah subhana
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:38
			wa Tada. So that is the first thing the heart needs to be attentive. Number two, when you make dua
to Allah subhanaw taala you should try to seek the times where dwis actually accepted try to seek
the times where do is actually accepted? And if no claim Rahim Allah, he mentioned six times over
here, he mentions six times over here, the first of them is in the last third of the night. The
first of them is the last third of the night. The second of them is after the other after the other
than that when you make do out right after the other, you repeat as the margin says, and then you
make dua, it is a time when the dwis answered, number three, between the sedan and the comma between
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:59
			the sedan and the comma. Number four, at the end of prescribed prayers. So you've just prayed a form
of salah and before you said salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah at that time
you make the dua, not after the Sadam but before the Salah. Then from the time the mama says the
puppet to the time when the Salah finishes
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:40
			So this means that between the two hotspots that the EMA makes on the day of Juma is the time when
da is answered, if the Imam leaves a break between finishing the hotbar and starting the Salah, that
is the time when da is answered as well. Then the last time he mentions is the last hour on the day
of Friday. So the scholars deferred that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said
that on the day of Friday, is the time that if you were to make dua during that time, Allah subhanho
wa Taala would answer that supplication, the vast majority of scholars of Hadith, they went to the
opinion that this was just the last hour before Serato mclubbe. So on the day of Friday before
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:51
			salata, Levin, you make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala and that is a time when supplications are
answered. Can you guys think of any other times when dwis are answered? Any other times go ahead
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:04
			before breaking your fast so while a person is fasting is dwyers answered directly related to that
is that when the person is breaking his fast, then do is answered at that time as well.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:28
			While in sujood, good point, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he says that the
closest a slave is to his Lord is when he is making such data. So that is a good time to make law.
But it's not necessarily a time where supplications are guaranteed to be accepted. That was a good
point. Go ahead while traveling so they do have the Messiah is Mr. Job excellent.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:40
			During rain departments of the law, it was seldom used to make Dodgers is a blessed time to do so.
Allah one of his dramas, the Japanese definitely a blessing time to do so. Can you think of
something else?
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:59
			dalmas loom accent so the drive the person who is being oppressed, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, he tells us that there's no barrier between the one who is oppressed and his dua
to Allah subhanho wa Taala. So these are other times when dwis are accepted. You want to say another
one.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:09
			When you wake up? Yeah, we mentioned the last third of the night already. That was the very first
one you mentioned the last third of the night. Go ahead. Last one.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:48
			When you're visiting someone sick, no, there's no Diwan that's answered at that time. It's a very
virtuous deeds to do it's a very good deed to do. But there's no particular do I that's answered at
that time. But what you can do is, after you're done visiting the sick and it's sincerely for the
sake of Allah subhanho, wa Taala, you can make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala that, oh, Allah did
this good deed for your sake. So please accept my doula. This is a form of tawassul which is
permissible, which we'll get to a bit later on. So the second thing he mentions is that you make dua
during the accepted times periods of time. The third thing he mentions is that you face the Qibla
		
00:17:48 --> 00:18:22
			when making dua, so you face the Qibla. When making dua. Number four, he mentions that you be in a
state of purity, he mentions you be in a state of purity, so you are in the state of Voodoo while
making blood to Allah subhana wa Taala number five, that you raise your hands to Allah subhana wa
Tada, you raise your hands to Allah subhanho wa Taala. Now genuinely speaking, when the issue of
raising the hands comes, you'll see that there is a lot of interpretations in terms of how should
one raise their hands, should they do so like this? Should they do so like this? How should they do
it? From the authentic narrations of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it is narrated, that
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:59
			when the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to make dua for St. Scott, he would
raise his hands up so high that you could see the whiteness of his armpits you could see the
whiteness of his armpits. So the scholars derived from this, that the greater the you know, level of
desperation that you show towards Allah, the better it is. So it's not really significant to raise
your hands high or low. But what is important is that you're showing a level of desperation and your
need towards Allah subhanho wa Taala then the next thing is that you praise Allah subhana wa Tada.
You praise Allah subhana wa Tada. This is number six if I'm not mistaken, right? For those of you
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:39
			keeping notes, which number are we at your last Where are we? You aren't we're at number six. So
number six, is that you praise Allah subhanho wa Taala number seven is that you send Salaam Salaam
upon the Messenger of Allah that you send salah and Salaam upon the Messenger of Allah. And then the
last thing that ignore claim Rahim Allah He mentioned is that you make tawassul with Allah subhanho
wa Taala you make tawassul with Allah subhana wa Tada. Now this concept of tawassul Allah subhanho
wa Taala he can land just with this is sort of minor he commands this What the Who la he'll we'll
see that that seek a means of closeness to Allah subhanho wa Taala and tawassul which is legislated,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:59
			is in four types tawassul which is legislated, is in four types. Number one that you ask Allah
subhana wa Taala by his names and attributes, Allah subhanho wa Taala he tells us in sorting out off
well Illa Hill is now your persona for Joe who will be her that Indeed Allah subhanho wa Taala has
the Beautiful Names, so called him by them. So how
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:40
			Is this workflow if you've mentioned in the past before, a person who's asking for risk, he uses the
name arzak. The person who was asking for forgiveness, he calls upon a toe up and a lot of fire and
Allah for that. That is how you use the names of Allah subhanaw taala in making dua. The second form
of tawassul that is permissible is by using your good deeds by using your good deeds. semanal bukata
Rahim Allah, he mentioned the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were three men were
stuck in the cave. And they said that we will not get out of this cave up and until we ask Allah
subhana wa Taala, by the good deeds we have done by the good deeds we have done. So the first person
		
00:20:40 --> 00:21:21
			he made was to Allah subhanho wa Taala Oh Allah, I did not feed my family before I fed my parents.
And one day I went out and I was delayed in 20, returning back, and my parents had gone to sleep.
And I had my children crying at my feet. But I waited till my parents awoke, and then I fed them
first. And then I fed my children, if I did this for your sake, and your sake alone, then alleviated
this trial from us. So the rock moved a little bit, but they still weren't able to escape. The
second man, he says, that, Oh Allah, there was a cousin of mine, who was the most beloved of people,
he says, going through a head, a shadow Mahabharata Gandhi, sir, that I used to love her the most,
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:57
			it is physically possible for a man to love a woman. And one time she came in a state of
desperation, she needed money. So I said to her, I will give you this money, if you seclude yourself
with me. And then this woman, she reminded this man, that if you want to do this, do this properly,
meaning get married to me. So she said, Fear Allah without the football. hajima be happy, that fear
Allah subhanaw taala and do this properly. So I left the money with her and I ran away, oh, Allah,
if I did this out of fear of you, and sincerely for your sake, then help us in this predicament. The
Rock moved a little bit, but they still weren't able to escape. And the third and last one, and this
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:38
			is actually my favorite one. Because it's, you know, you can imagine this scenario, that the third
man, he says that, Oh Allah, one day, I'd hired a group of workers. And I paid them all of them
their wages, except for one man, he disappeared. So I took this man's wages, and I invested it. And
then after many months, this man comes back. And he says, Give me my deal, right? So I said to him,
everything that you see, and you can imagine, there's like a valley of sheep, a valley of cameras,
you know, orchards of trees with fruits and dates, and all that stuff. He says, everything that you
see a belongs to you. And this worker, he tells the man that don't make fun of me, Look, I know I'm
		
00:22:38 --> 00:23:15
			poor. I'm no, I'm Miskin. But don't make fun of me. And the man says, I'm not making fun of you
genuinely, all of this belongs to you. So then the man who's saying this, he says, he took
everything, he took everything. And he didn't leave a single sheep behind. Meaning that you would
have thought this one I've done so much good for you, at least you'd leave one sheep behind for me,
he didn't even do that. So he said, Oh Allah, if I did this, for your sake, and your sake alone,
help us in our predicament. And they were then able to escape from the cave. So this shows us the
permissibility of making tawassul through your righteous deeds, and that is why our predecessors
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:51
			they encouraged us that you know, you're going to be in a state of predicament, you know, Allah is
going to test you. So before that test comes, incur your good deeds that you do sincerely that no
one else knows about. So that when that trial and tribulation comes, you make dua to Allah subhanho
wa Taala, through your good deeds, and then he helps you out in that situation. So it is very
important that in times of prosperity, in terms of ease in terms of goodness, you do good deeds
sincerely for the sake of Allah, so that when the difficult times come, you can make dua to Allah
subhanho wa Taala through those deeds. The third type of tawassul that is permissible is the Diwan
		
00:23:51 --> 00:24:27
			of the righteous person, the duar of the righteous person. And so hey, Muslim, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he commanded Amara de la Juan, he said that when you go for Hajj, you
will see a man who was extremely righteous. He was known for his righteousness towards his mother
actually released to his mother. And that is why I used to answer his voice. So the politician told
Omar when you see this man asked him to make dua for you, and do ask for your forgiveness. And then
Omar did so and this man was always so corny, Rahim Allah, he was a man who lived during the time of
the companions, but he never actually met the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So he doesn't have
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:59
			the honor of being called the companion, even though he lives during their time, even though he
lives during their time. And for those of you who just want a technical term, in the science of
Hadith, this individual is known as a macabre, he is known as mukarram. Someone who lived during the
time of the prophet SAW them, but never actually got to see the prophets arsenal. So he doesn't have
the status or honor of a companion, even though we lived during their time. And that was always so
corny. Likewise, the example of anibus that Amara de la Hondo and that year that rain didn't come
down. He
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:32
			Went to Ella bus and he told me a lot bus. He said we used to make dua through the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he was alive, but now that he has passed away, we're asking you to
make dua for us this call for rain than they are bus made to, and rain came down and rain came down.
So this shows us that you should ask a righteous person to make dua for you. You'll notice that
there's a misconception in our community, that every time you see someone, just a general person,
you will say make dua for me. Now, you know, particularly in the Indian sub India sub,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:26:12
			what's the word I'm looking for? Is the subcontinent, culture and tradition, that when you leave a
gathering, you tell the people dwama darkness that you know, remembers in your prayers, this is
something that isn't Islamic, it's not Islamic, but rather, it is only the righteous person, someone
that you know them to be righteous, that you should ask them to make bla for you. So you shouldn't
you know, wasted that rather, it is better that you ask Allah subhanho wa Taala yourself rather than
giving, telling every individual to make dua for you, that is the third type. And then the fourth
type of tawassul that is permissible is by mentioning one's weakness by mentioning once weakness. So
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:52
			you'll notice that Dr. Zakaria, Dr. Zakaria that he complains to Allah subhanho wa Taala that Oh
Allah, I have become old an age and I have become feeble one, Marathi ochem and my wife has become,
you know, she's unable to bear children, she is unable to bear children. And through mentioning
this, they may do how to Allah subhanaw taala granted them a child and Allah grant them a child and
the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he actually tells us that Allah subhanho wa
Taala loves to see the broken state in his slave when he's making dua to him. So this shows how
perfect and complete and self sufficient Allah subhanho wa Taala is and how weak and desperate and
		
00:26:52 --> 00:27:08
			in need the slave is of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So these are the four types of tawassul that are
permissible in making dua. And that is the last thing that is not claimed by him, Allah mentions
from the etiquettes of making dua from the etiquettes of making dua.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:49
			Now, in this verse, we make the duar, a dino serratos, takim hedaya in the Arabic language and in
Islam, hedaya is of two types. There are two types of guidance. So the guidance that is considered
the first types is the guidance where you just indicate something. So for example, someone asks you,
can you tell me where you know, Deerfoot trail is. So you tell them make a right make a left and
there'll be a Deerfoot trail. This is a form of guidance. And this is something that each and every
individual can do. Each and every individual can do this, you know, as long as you have that
information, as long as you have that knowledge, you're able to give someone direction and this
		
00:27:49 --> 00:28:32
			direction is not binding binding is not binding, this person can either choose to accept it or they
can choose to reject it or they can choose to reject it. The second type of guidance is a guidance
that is purely from Allah subhana wa Tada. It is purely from Allah subhanho wa Taala, meaning that
Allah subhana wa tada He guides the heart of the individual towards that which is best for him. He
guides the heart of the individual towards that which is best for him. And when we're making blind
to Allah subhanho wa Taala. Dino Serato stuck him. It is the second type of Hidayat, the second type
of guidance that we're actually asking for. And you'll notice that Allah subhanho wa Taala. He
		
00:28:32 --> 00:29:08
			actually acknowledges his acknowledges both for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So in
version four in one verse, He tells the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the
calidad de la serata. Mr. Kim, this is sort of Surah Surah number 42, verse 52, he says that oh you
messenger of Allah, indeed, you are a guide to the straight path. Indeed you are a guide to the
straight path. And this is referring to the first type of guidance, this is referring to the first
type of guidance, then in the example of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, those
of us who choose to follow it, then there will be Paul following the best of examples, there will be
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:48
			following the right path. And then you'll notice that in the second type, a type of guidance that is
specific from Allah subhanho wa Taala, Allah subhanho wa Taala addresses the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam and details him in the kallada demon. Allah can Allah diminish, that he tells the
Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that you all messenger of Allah, do not guide those
whom you love, but rather it is Allah subhanho wa Taala who guides whom He pleases? So this shows us
that there is a type of guidance that is purely from Allah subhana wa tada that is purely from Allah
subhana wa tada and that is sort of Casa surah, number 28 verse 56, surah number 28, verse 56.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:30:00
			Now generally speaking, the scholars of Tafseer these are the two types of guidance that they always
mention. If no claim Rahim Allah, he actually mentions a third type of guidance. He actually
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:43
			mentions a third type of guidance. And he says that if you were to look at the wordings of this ayah
Allah subhanho wa Taala he doesn't stop as at saying that Oh Allah guide us, but rather Allah
subhana wa Taala teaches us to say it He did not say Rotom stuck him that Guide us to the straight
path and that on the Day of Judgment, there is a bridge that we will be crossing that is a Sirat as
well, there is a bridge that will there will be crossing that is called a Sirat as well. So I want
to share with you what if not claim, Rahim Allah states, he goes on to say, and that is guidance on
the Day of Judgment along the path to paradise, this being the bridge leading to it. So the one who
		
00:30:43 --> 00:31:13
			is guided in this life to the straight path will be guided to the straight path in the hereafter
that leads to his paradise, his firmness on the path that day will be dependent on how firmly he
tried the straight path in this life. So I have no claim Rahim Allah He mentioned that the third
type of guidance is that the more you seek out guidance in this world, then the more Allah subhanaw
taala will guide you in the hereafter. So now this surah that is not claimed by him Allah is talking
about I want you to imagine this.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:52
			This is a bridge that Allah subhanaw taala created. And this bridge, it is as thin as an eyelash. It
is a thin as an eyelash. If it were to pull just one hair out, you'll see how thin it actually is.
In fact, most of you probably cannot even see it from where you're sitting right now. But there's
actually a hair follicle in my hand. That is how thin that bridge is. The Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us it is as sharp as a sword. So think about the sharpest knife
that you have in your house, that if you did it slightly graze it, it would cut your hand that is
the state of the spirits. Then to add on top of that, there's no light whatsoever it is absolute
		
00:31:52 --> 00:32:33
			pitch dark. And then to make matters even worse. The fourth thing is that underneath you are the
valleys of the Hellfire underneath you are the valleys of the Hellfire, your hammock Allah, the
Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us that there were a group of people that will
run across the Senate, there will be a group of people that will jog a group here that will walk a
group of people that will crawl across the Senate, and this will be dependent on how much they stuck
to guidance in this life, how much they stuck to guidance in this life. So those people who claimed
the guidance, they always sought guidance in all of their affairs, they will hasting Lee cross this
		
00:32:33 --> 00:33:14
			bridge, but those people who took it in just took it in in in the waist, then these people they will
either struggle to get across or they may even you know fall into the Hellfire, my Allah subhanho wa
Taala protect us all. The last thing I mentioned about the Surat is that Allah Subhana Allah He will
guide he will grant a light to the believers. Allah subhanaw taala he tells us in short, the
Dufferin that the gu believers on the Day of Judgment, they will make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala
they will say robina Pena that Oh Allah complete and perfect our light for us. The scholars
interpreted this verse, that the light that Allah subhana wa Taala will guide and grant at that time
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:50
			is the light of a Salah. And this is why the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he says
in another hadith of Salah to know that the Salah is a light, the light that is referring to is that
the people who stuck to their Salah, then Allah subhanho wa Taala on the Day of Judgment, he will
grant them a light and the strength of that light will purely be based upon how diligent an
individual was with their Salah safety prayed on time if they prayed are with who sure if they made
sure the you know they did it properly according to the Sunnah of the prophet solemn, the more
likely they will have and that is why the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he
		
00:33:50 --> 00:34:23
			commanded us as well. He said complete the deficiencies in your Salah, with your son and Noah for
the prayers, meaning that obviously from time to time, you will be distracted, you will not be able
to focus this is normal, everyone is tested by this. So he said make up those deficiencies in your
Salah by praying the Sunnah of the prayers that Allah subhana wa Taala May we compensate you for
those deficiencies that you had and thus that light may be even more perfected on the day of
judgment that the light may be even more perfected on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:59
			Another linguistic point I want to mention is that in this verse we say it then a Serato stuck in
that if you were to look at it, if dinner is guide us and then you have a Sirat which is the the
path almost stuck in the straight path. But you'll never see the, I guess the conjunction over here
you don't see in the Arabic language Guide us to the straight path or guidance upon the straight
path. So you don't actually say dinner Ella or Serato Mr. King, or you don't say dinner, Allah
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:43
			Salatu was turkey or Dena Li a Serato. Mr. P, that conjunction that prefix it is missing. And a
block time, Rahim Allah, He teaches us the reason why this is actually happening is that how the
person said Guide us to the straight path? It would have said a word what would have implied
guidance to that path? I put that is our objective guidance to that path because it is an objective
Illa means that you're going towards something. So that is your objective, the straight path is your
objective. And had you said it then a Li, a stellato, Mr. Kim, and would have implied that you guide
us to that path. But it is optional for us if we're going to follow that path or not. And the reason
		
00:35:43 --> 00:36:24
			why Allah subhanho wa Taala left it out with me without any prefix whatsoever is to show us is that
not only is this an objective, but we also want to be, you know, granted the tofik to follow this
path. So the reason why there's no prefix mentioned before the straight path is because we're asking
Allah subhana wa Tada. Not only should you guide us to the straight path, but also grant us the
tofik to follow it as well. Grant is the tofik to follow it as well. And this is a linguistic
benefit that you find that Bethel lights Allah for when you study, you know the Arabic language, you
will come to appreciate to be the light to Allah. Now, this concept of the Serato Mr. Kim, what
		
00:36:24 --> 00:37:05
			exactly is the Serato? Mr. Kim, if you were to look into the books of tafsir, you will see that
amongst the self amongst the predecessors, there were seven different opinions in terms of what the
slaughter was. The claim, actually is seven different opinions. The first of them is stated by Ali
Baba tonic and Abdullah bin Massoud and they said the straight path is the book of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. the straight path is the book of Allah subhana wa Tada. The second opinion is that of
Abdullah bin abass. It is attributed to Abdullah with Miss Oda as well at the heart and others, and
they said that the straight path is Islam, the straight path is Islam. The third opinion is that the
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:32
			Serato Mr. Kane is the religion of Allah subhanho wa Taala it is the religion of Allah subhanho wa
Taala which no other religion will be accepted. Number four, it is the Prophet and the two
qualifiers. It is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the first two Khalifa was Abu Bakar
and Omar, this was the opinion of one of the students have been abducted by the name of Abu Alia and
this was the opinion of our hassanal bacillary Rahim Allah.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:38:12
			Number five, it is the truth. So when you're saying academic stellato Mr. Kane, you're saying Allah
guide us to the truth. This was the opinion of Majeed, who was a student of Eben Arbus. Number six,
the path to paradise that Allah guided grant guidance to the path of paradise. This was the opinion
of sizeable jobid. And the seventh and last opinion, it is the way of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, and this was said by one of the early scholars of Hadith by the name of bhaker bin
Abdullah Al masani. Back again, Abdullah masani. He said it is the way of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. So these are the seven I guess ways they interpreted the salado stocking, they
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:50
			want to define the salado Mr. Kane, they said it included these seven things and included these
seven things. It is the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala Islam, it is the religion that Allah
subhanaw taala will accept. It is the Prophet and the 200. It is the truth, it is the path to
paradise, and it is the way of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself, it is the way of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself. I want to mention two last things with the lights Allah
and that is one ignore time Rahim Allah. He mentioned about the slotum stuck in epner coin Rahim
Allah He talks about a Serato Mr. kamin he goes on to say, we will expand will expound upon the
		
00:38:50 --> 00:39:33
			straight path in a succinct manner for the people have explained it in various ways, all of them
revolving around one essential fact. the straight path is the path of Allah, which he has put in
place to lead mankind to him, there is no path to him, other than this one, which he appointed upon
the tongues of the messengers, it is to single him out for worship, and to single out his messengers
alone for obedience. Therefore, a nun should commit shirk in his worship, just as nun should commit
shift and following of His Messenger, one should purify his steelhead and purify his following of
the messenger. This is the full import of the test ification that none has the right to be
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:59
			worshipped and Allah except Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger of Allah. All of the various
explanations given to the straight path, fall under these two principles. You must love Him with all
your heart, you must try to please Him to the utmost of your ability. There should not be any area
of your heart, except that it is overflowing with love for him, and you should have no desire except
to please Him. The first point is realized throughout
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:40
			Realizing none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. And the second point is realized to the
actualization of Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This is guidance
and the religion of truth, and this is knowing the truth and acting upon it. This is in turn, is
knowing that is knowing what He sent His messenger with, and living by it. All definitions revolve
around this essential Khan's concept, Sal bin Abdullah said, stick to the narrations and the sooner
I fear that soon there will come a time that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the
importance of following him and everything is mentioned, the people would send you the person who
		
00:40:40 --> 00:41:19
			says this caused others to flee from him, and disassociated themselves from him, humiliate him and
disgrace him. said no crime Rahim Allah He summarizes the salado muster came with two concepts. The
two concepts he mentions is purifying your ibadah purely for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
And the second concept is following the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu in your setup,
meaning that you will not unrestrictedly obey any of the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala except
for the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this is further seen in the Hadith of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam narrated in Timothy, where the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:41:19 --> 00:42:01
			alayhi wa sallam said, Allah has set forth the following as a parable, there is a road that leads to
the destination. On either side of this road is a wall in which there are open doors, which COVID
with curtains hanging on them. From the remote of the road, a voice calls proceed to the straight
path and do not turn the side. Whenever someone intends to lift the curtain from the door and other
voice calls from above. Beware, do not lift the curtain, otherwise you will be lured inside. The
Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained the parable by saying that this is the
truth, the straight path is Islam. The walls are the limits imposed by Allah subhanho wa Taala. The
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:43
			open doors are things that I that Allah has prohibited. The voice which calls from the end of the
road is the Quran. And the voice which calls from above is Allah monitor in the hearts of every
believer in the heart of every believer. So understand this parable Exactly. The Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said that the Serato Mr. Kane, it is a straight path. And this
straight path, it has branches leading off towards it. And these branches, they're closed off by
walls, meaning that you can surpass them, there's a wall that's blocking it off. But there is a
curtain inside of these walls, there is a curtain inside of these walls. So an individual who
		
00:42:43 --> 00:43:17
			deviates from the straight path and he goes towards these walls, he will lift up this curtain and he
will be alert, he will be alert. And then the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
says that there's two voices that call out whenever someone intends to lift a curtain from the door,
another voice calls out from above, beware, do not live this curtain, otherwise you will be learned
insight. And then there's an other voice that says do not deviate from the straight path. The
Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that these two voices are the natural, you know
pure heart, that the pure heart will tell you what is good for you, and will tell you what is bad
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:54
			for you. So whenever your heart feels a state of discomfort, this is your hearts telling you that
you're doing something wrong, and you shouldn't be doing it. And then the second voice is the voice
of the Koran, that the Quran tells us what is good for us and what is bad for us. Then those walls
that Allah subhanaw taala has set up. Those are the boundaries of Allah subhanho wa Taala meaning
that as long as you're staying within those walls, you're in within the realms of permissibility.
But the second you transgress those walls, then use you succumb yourself to desires which Allah
subhanho wa Taala has prohibited. So stay with inside those boundaries stay with inside those
		
00:43:54 --> 00:44:35
			boundaries. And then one last point I mentioned over here is that from the above verse, we also
learn that the straight path is one path and not many, indeed anything that deviates from it is to
be regarded as Miss guidance. And that is why the Messenger of Allah is told in certain Anam Allah
subhanaw taala tells the Messenger of Allah Azza wa sallam, and certainly anon surah number six
verse 153. And verily This is my straight path. So follow it and do not follow the other paths, for
they will separate you from this path. This has been ordained for you that you may become pies. Now
Allah call that the corn. So here we learn that the path to Allah subhanho wa Taala is only one
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:59
			path. It is not multiple paths. There are multiple paths towards doing good deeds, but in terms of
those deeds being accepted, then there's only one path that leads to Allah subhanho wa Taala and
that is what Allah Allah subhanho wa Taala commands with and that is what the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was upon. And that is why in another narration, when the Messenger of
Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam drew that picture
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:34
			straight line. He said that this is the Serato Mr. Kim, this is the straight path. So the companions
asked in yada su Allah, Who is the straight path or who are the people of the straight path, and the
Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi salam told them, man and he alone was happy, that that which I
am upon, and that which my companions are upon. So when you're looking for the straight path, then
always look for what would the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam do in this situation?
What would his companions are the Allah who I know, agree to at this point, and that will be the
straight path, that will be the straight path.
		
00:45:35 --> 00:46:18
			The last thing I mentioned over here to conclude with the lights Allah is that this verse goes on to
say this is actually the next verse, and then also auto stocking, and then it continues serrata
Medina, and I'm telling him The path of those whom you have favored, the path of those whom you are
favored. So we notice over here that the straight path is also the path of those whom Allah subhanho
wa Taala has favored. So now we want to figure out who are the people that Allah subhanho wa Taala
actually has favored, who are the people that Allah subhanho wa Taala actually has favored. And the
answer to this is found in Surah Nisa, verse 69, Surah Nisa, verse 69. Allah subhanaw taala tells us
		
00:46:18 --> 00:47:03
			in this verse when miyota Allah Allah Sula, who, for Allah He commanded Dena and am Allah Who are
they him and then the begin was said decreed was Shahada. He was solid hain what hacer una una
economica. Allah subhanho wa Taala says in this verse, that whoever obeys the Messenger of Allah,
and Allah subhana wa Taala then he will be in the company of the following four categories of people
the fall following four categories of people for that he commanded Anna Anna mala who I laid him in,
in the been the profits will sit directly in the sincerely truthful ones, the sincerely truthful
ones, were Shahada, the martyrs was solid him and the righteous and the righteous. So the prophets
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:44
			these are known, these are This includes the prophets and the messengers. This includes the nubby
antidotal seul, the Nabi and our soul. Now what is the difference between the newbie and also the
newbie is anyone that was given revelation by Allah subhanho wa Taala. The first of them was Adam
alayhis salam, the first of them was adamantly Salaam, then the Rasool is anyone who was given
revelation by Allah subhanho wa Taala. But his people turned against him, his people turned against
him. So the first nubby was Adam, and the first little soul was no Haile salam, the first Russell
was no honey sinner, and these are the words of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:47:44 --> 00:48:20
			so he will be in the company of all of the prophets, and all of the messengers. Then I said the
thing I said, deikun these are the people who are hasty in affirming the truth, that anytime the
truth comes to them, they are hasty in affirming it. From that which is authentically narrated, we
know that this title was given to two individuals, we know that this title was given to two
individuals. And if you can tell me who those two individuals are, I'll actually give you my set of
notes. I have a separate set of notes. I'll give this to you inshallah. But you need to give me both
of them. I don't want just one. I need both of them be the lights on.
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:23
			Sorry,
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:28
			Abubakar acidic La Jolla. And who was the second?
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:30
			Khadija la
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:35
			Don't shout out? I need both of them at the same time. Go ahead.
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40
			Incorrect.
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:42
			Go ahead.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			Not incorrect.
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:48
			Go ahead.
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:51
			Incorrect.
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:59
			I'll give you a hint. The second individual is not a Sahabi. The second individual is not a Sahabi.
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02
			Incorrect.
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:19
			Incorrect. Just to tell you why. Obviously, the process of them would be an obvious answer, but we
don't give them the title of Siddiq because he has a higher level of being on the BNR soon, so while
you're correct, he wasn't given that title because he was in the BNR soon, go ahead.
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:28
			So that being said he wasn't so happy he was in the second person was not a Sahabi Go ahead.
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:35
			Okay.
		
00:49:36 --> 00:50:00
			accent that is correct. So you can take this later on inshallah. So, I'll, I'll tell you the answer.
The first of them is Medea, Allah. So I know what to Allah says in the Quran about Maria. Well can
Omaha said deca? That indeed her his mother, the mother of a Saudi Salaam was a Siddiqa. Someone who
sincerely affirm the truth. Then the second time this title is given
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:36
			21 was Abu Bakar the Allahu anhu, particularly when the incident of a Salah El Mirage happened, they
said that you know what your friend has said now, he said that he traveled to Jerusalem in one
night, Abu Bakar Abdullah, one whom he said to them, that if he said it, then it must be true. If he
said it, then it must be true. And this is when he was given the title of acidic. So in our history,
these are the two people that we know of that were given the title of acidic, and Allah subhanaw
taala knows best. So that is the second category of people whom Allah has favored. Then the third
category of people is the Shahada. The third category of people is Shahada. Now, when we talk about
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:56
			Shahada when we talk about martyrs in Islam, this has a general meaning and it has a specific
meaning. The specific meaning is that someone who died in the way of Allah subhanho wa Taala on the
battlefield, someone who died in the way of Allah subhana wa Taala on the battlefield, and this is
the highest level of Shahada. This is the highest level of Shahada.
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:38
			Yeah, this is the highest level of Shahada. Then the general concept of Shahada or the general
meaning of the shade is anyone who died struggling, anyone who died struggling, so the Messenger of
Allah says Allah says that whoever dies while drowning is a Shaheed someone who dies of stomach
cancer. Colon cancer, or intestinal cancer is a Shaheed someone who dies while defending his house,
or his family is a Shaheed. And you'll notice that other people there mentioned that Shahada, so
anyone who is do dies in the state of struggling is considered a Shaheed. So this encompasses all of
those people. This encompasses all of those people. And then the last category is a solid in the
		
00:51:38 --> 00:52:16
			general righteous people. And these are people who did extra amounts of ibadah extra amounts of
ibadah. Above that was regular above that was regular. One last thing I mentioned about this, is
that this cause of the year they asked the question, so where would the scholars of Islam fall into
this? Where would the scholars of Islam fall into this? Would they follow under the umbrella? And
also, because they were the inheritors of the prophets? Would they follow under the Siddiq cone?
Because they're the first ones to affirm the truth and teach it to the people? Will they follow
under the martyrs? Because their whole life is a struggle to learn and to teach? Or would they fall
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:43
			a fall under the last one, which is, you know, they did excessively by their extra ibadah? And the
answer to this question, Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best is that the scholar of Islam, the
student of knowledge, he would fall under all four categories. And that is why the student of
knowledge and the scholar, he has the best job because he has the opportunity to fall under all four
of these categories. Now, the last last thing I mentioned, I know we sing this a lot, but I just
keep remembering different things.
		
00:52:44 --> 00:53:24
			Sheikh Mohammed amin has some pretty he's a scholar that passed away to him Allah He was of the same
generation of sacred nobles, and she called Vanya, rahimullah, maybe even a bit more senior to them.
He's written a book of Tafseer, called a dwarf on bayad. And the point of this book of tafsir, is to
explain the Quran with the Quran. So uses the Quran to explain the Quran. So you'll mention a verse
Then he'll bring other verses to explain this verse. Now when it comes to this particular verse,
when it comes to this particular verse, he mentioned something very interesting I've mentioned in
some of my lectures before, but he uses this verse to prove the truthfulness of the hilife of Abu
		
00:53:24 --> 00:54:02
			Bakr radi Allahu Allah. He uses this to prove the truthfulness of the Caliph of Abu Bakar the Allah
one meaning that through this verse, then a Serato Mr. Kane sirata Latina Nam tala him. He uses this
verse to prove that Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu was most deserving to become Khalifa. How did he do
this? The way he did this was exactly what I just explained to you that Allah subhanho wa Taala. He
shows us the rank of people in terms of whom Allah subhanho wa Taala has favored starting off with
the prophets, then the seed the corn than the Shahada, and the solid home. These are the four
categories. So after the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who is most deserving to
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:43
			become their leader, it is the next person or the group of categories of people, either the Siddiq
on either the Shahada or the solid home. Now the Shahada obviously cannot be a next leader because
he's already passed away. So leaves you with the silicone and the solid home. So he said that when
Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions in order he mentions this order, because there's a virtue over the
previous thing of the previous thing over lutcher so Allah subhana wa tada has preferred and given
virtue to the city code over the solid home and therefore the city code should be given precedence
or preference. And that is why after when the province of Southern passed away this I was a proof
		
00:54:43 --> 00:55:00
			that Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu was most deserving to be Khalifa because Allah subhanho wa Taala had
preferred people in this category or had preserved preferred people in these writings, the prophets
and messengers, then the city code, and then the Shahada, and then the solid Han you guys understood
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:11
			In the last point, everyone understood it and from there, so we'll conclude with that in sha Allah
Salallahu alaihe salam wa barakaatuh and the BNF Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam. And we
will take five questions. We have
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13
			five questions.
		
00:55:15 --> 00:55:15
			Guide.
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:19
			nation, here's the deal
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:24
			when I heard the
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:27
			noise on this one,
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:29
			okay.
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:32
			Next, right,
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:34
			right.
		
00:55:35 --> 00:56:11
			So, how do you reconcile the two Hadith ascent? So the brothers question was that we mentioned nine
times where the doulas are answered, but another Hadith of the prophets of Salaam, he says that all
of our doulas are answered in one of three ways all of our dogs are answered in one of three ways.
Either Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us what we want when we want, or Allah subhana wa Taala delays
it for a time when it is better for us. Or number three, that Allah subhanho wa Taala. He doesn't
give us what he what we want, but he averts an equal amount of evil from our lives. He averts an
equal amount of evil from our lives.
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:52
			This Hadith is referring to when Allah subhanho wa Taala actually accepts the dua, the first Hadees
in terms of timings, or the timings that, you know, if you fall under that time, then you have
fulfilled one of the conditions of being accepted. So this is when it gets accepted. And this is how
to get it accepted. That's the difference. So not every Dwyer is going to be accepted by Allah
subhana wa Tada. This is why you will notice that the person who repents when the sun, you know is
rising from the west, Allah subhanaw taala won't accept it at that time, the person who repents when
Allah subhanho wa Taala is taking their Soloway unless final does not going to accept it at that
		
00:56:52 --> 00:57:27
			time. So person has to fulfill all of the conditions first, and then the device will be accepted. I
can't remember which haluk I did this in but we took that famous quote of Abraham Abraham Rahim
Allah where we discussed it. I didn't do it here in Calgary, I'm confused. I did this in Montreal,
this quarter behind nighttime inshallah we'll share it in a in another halaqa where you mentioned
eight things where you says you accepted the Koran, but you don't follow it. You take the Messenger
of Allah says Allah, but you don't follow it. You talk about the death, but you don't fear it. And
you mentioned these eight conditions. So after all of these things, how do you accept Allah subhanaw
		
00:57:27 --> 00:58:00
			taala? Or sorry? How do you expect Allah subhanaw taala? To answer to us, another Hadith deposit
seldom mentions, the man who ATAR on the mind who were wore Haram, the man whose earnings were hard
on the man whose spendings were Haram, the messenger Allah says to them said, then how will Allah
subhanaw taala answer the dua of this individual. So you have to meet all of the conditions first,
before the dog can actually be accepted. So if you meet all the conditions, then you do our bidding,
it is guaranteed to be accepted in one of those three ways. And that's how you reconcile the two
Hadith. I love that question. Very good question. Question number two.
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:04
			Next question. Go ahead.
		
00:58:11 --> 00:58:13
			Yes, every time
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:19
			doctor like my last night, I found out my boss, or any my boss
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:22
			at the end, who is an early
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:26
			metal often? Yes.
		
00:58:30 --> 00:59:02
			Exactly. So the brother is saying that in the Indian subcontinent culture, when they apart from the
gatherings, they'll tell the people please remember me and your device. And the answer to this is
that this is something that is discouraged to do, it should not be done. Because there has there
been any goodness in this, when the companions or their loved one would have partied in their
gatherings, they would have told aboubaker remember menial to us, they would have told you about
remember me and your daughters. Now obviously as compared to obachan, oma or nothing. So the company
didn't say to the likes of Abu Bakr and Omar, then who are the people to Sage to the likes of us. So
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:33
			generally speaking, this concept of asking other people to make blog for you, they should only be
said to the people that are truly righteous mean that these are the people that are constantly
coming to the masjid the people that abide by the laws of Allah subhanho wa Taala the people that
stay away from Riba and Zina. You know, their hearts are touching the mustard, they're always
getting sadaqa they have amazing o'clock, you know, their colors of tawheed that they're always
calling to Allah subhanho wa Taala these are the type of people that you want to tell them, you
know, remember me and your device or make dua for this and then it will be accepted. In all other
		
00:59:33 --> 00:59:59
			cases in scenarios, you are better off making a dog by yourself. Because Allah subhanaw taala he
tells us in the Quran, why the sun okay by the unevenly. Would you Buddha today that if my slave is
about me, telling my slave that I am near, I answer all the duels of the one who supplicates to me.
So that is what we should do that rather than asking everyone to make a blog for us. We should make
blogs ourselves and that is the better thing to do. Good question. Allahu Allah, Allah
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:01
			Question number three, go ahead,
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:06
			you're gonna have to raise your voice, they can't hear you, or come forward actually
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:15
			resolve.
		
01:00:22 --> 01:00:25
			So, we all work together because
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:31
			we have to say, well, no more.
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:48
			So they only do it individually. First, they may die individually said, Oh Allah, I did this and
this for your sake. So please help us out in this situation. So they may do it individually. And he
told Allah subhanaw taala, about their deeds, and that is when Allah subhanaw taala helped them to
escape from the cave.
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:51
			altogether.
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:26
			They, they could have done that, but the point of this hadith is to teach us something, and that is
that when you make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala, when you're in a severe situation, meaning that
no one can help you except Allah, then in those times, you should ask Allah subhanaw taala by your
righteous deeds, so you ask Allah subhanaw taala by the good deeds that you did to help you out in
your darkest times in your darkest moments, and then Allah subhanaw taala will help you out in those
situations. Make sense? Excellent. Question number four, go ahead.
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:37
			is given a scripture?
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:53
			Allahu Tada, Adam? So the Buddhist question, is it true that the difference between the Prophet and
the messenger is that the Prophet s? Or the messenger is given a scripture? And the answer to that
is Allah who I am? I don't know, that possibly could be one of the things. But I don't know.
		
01:01:55 --> 01:02:06
			You know, that makes a difference. Because in reality, what is the scripture? It is just writing
down a revelation, right? So both prophets and messengers are giving revelation. So now you're
seeing that the difference would be that one wrote the revelation down and the other one didn't?
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:44
			Right, but I'm seeing that you I mean, I understand the concept. So it just be writing it down. And
I don't think that would be a major difference, you know, whether one group already done or didn't,
I don't think it would be a difference. Allahu Allah, Allah added to this point, you know, we were
told of the major revelations that were sent down. So we know that the Quran is given to the pastas
Salaam, these abode was given to those the Torah given to Musa the Injeel given to Isa, then we have
the so half of Ibrahim and Musa as well, these are the major
		
01:02:45 --> 01:03:03
			scriptures that we refer to. But here the Messenger of Allah system also tells us that the first
little soul was no Haile Salaam. And we there's no mention of any scripture that was actually given
to know. So let's find out on those best, it's possible, but I don't know. Allah husana. Question
number four. Last question of the evening. Go ahead.
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:15
			Is it true that the doors that are mentioned in the Quran are going to be more accepted?
		
01:03:16 --> 01:03:53
			the acceptance of do is based upon the individual and not what he is actually saying. Right? It is
more upon the individual than rather what he's actually saying. So what is more important as you
look at the advocates of making the law rather than looking at what you are saying, but what I can
what I can say about your question is that the dwis that are mentioned in the Quran, Allah mentioned
them in the Quran, because there's something special about them, there's something special about
them, and that is why they should be said, so the dwis in the Koran are definitely more preferable
than the dwis that we will make for ourselves. But at the same time, there are certain instances
		
01:03:53 --> 01:04:30
			that will not be mentioned in the Quran. So for example, you know, your mother is extremely sick.
You know, the Koran will not tell us what blog to make at that time. So you can make your own dog so
if you're in a situation where you can use a Quranic da or your own da, it is better to use the
Quran. However, if you're in situation where there is no Quranic da, then you can make up your own
duar at that time. Allahu taala. Good question. The last thing I guess I'll conclude with is that I
wanted to mention this in the beginning, but it slipped my mind. Then we were talking about guidance
and how precious guidance was and how guidance is of blessing from Allah and a favor from Allah
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:59
			subhana wa Tada. If you look at a police, you know, a police was from the most righteous of the
jinn. And that is why he was in the company of the melodica. If you look at a police, he knew how to
address Allah subhanho wa Taala. He said Robbie on veillonella yamu bathroom, he knew how to make
dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala. If you look at the company of a police, he was in the company of the
mother acre and the company of Adam and he said, yet all of this was taken away from him, by him
making one mistake
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:38
			than Allah subhanho wa Taala put him in a situation where he had to make a choice, either to bow
down to Adam, or to not bow down to Adam, and my choosing the path of misguidance. And just one
situation. Allah subhanho wa Taala took guidance away altogether from a bliss. And if it can happen
to someone like a police that it was in the company of the angels, and the company of the prophets,
you know, view saw revelation saw the profits saw everything that would have happened. And even then
revelation or guidance can be taken away from him, and shows you that we even us as human beings are
more susceptible to losing guidance. So you have to make sure you hold on to the best of your
		
01:05:38 --> 01:06:15
			ability that hold on to your guidance, that whenever you're given that choice, either to follow a
path of guidance or to follow a path or miss guidance. Remember the story of a police that remember
that to making that bad decision to making that bad choice. It is very possible, you could follow
and go down that exact same line. And that is something you want to avoid and Allah protect us all.
So keep that in mind. And that is why it is so important to keep making this if dental salata Mr
King, that our law until the day we die, getting us to the straight path. And the lesson we learned
from this as well, is that the reason why we keep mentioning the 17 times a day is because this path
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:50
			of guidance is not black and white. It's not that hey, I became Muslim, I'm guided No, it's not
black and white. But rather guidance is a lifelong journey. Till the day you die. You will need to
learn how to do things, how to speak to people how to go to the bathroom, how to eat, how to, you
know, what are the things that you can do to benefit the dead? All of these things come from
guidance. So when you ask Allah didn't set out to Mr. King, this is what you're asking for that Oh
Allah keep guiding me to the best of my dunya and the best of my accuracy, and I'll accept it from
all of us. So panicle lahoma become the Sedona star Furukawa tube like
