			Now I want to take the question. This is a Sofia's question as Muslims we should love our beloved
prophet speaks to them more than anyone else, more than our parents and children more than
ourselves, and we should love allows them even more than the Prophet size on them. Can you please
give us some advice on how to achieve both in a way that pleases Allah? I'm asking because I never
saw them loved us so much. He kept his law for the day of judgment to save us. And the last one with
Allah also says in the Quran that we need to love the prophet Isaiah to set up if we want to have a
love of love and forgiveness, how to keep the right balance between our love for the prophets I send
		
00:00:35 --> 00:01:14
			them and our longing for meeting him in the Hereafter, and the supreme love independence and
reliance on Allah subhanho wa Taala it's a fantastic question. And it's something so difficult, you
know, like, how do you balance between the love of Allah and the love of the prophet or the Santos
Lando Quran helps us in this regard. Well, you don't have a Buddha laugh at me only in a very
succinct, brief statement, Allah has, like, completely covered the subject. If you truly love Allah,
follow me lovingly. See, we don't get to meet a lot until Judgment Day, we don't get to see a lot
until Judgment Day, we got to see the Sahaba gotta see the profit zone, they got to live by his
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:50
			example, they interacted with him. And so the love of the profits, I said, um, is far more tangible,
because it's a human being, that we are that we show loyalty to. And the way you express your love
to the problematized for them, is by trying to live by his beautiful example. And remembering his
example. You know, we tend to highlight the visible things, right. So for example, when we talk
about the certain that we talk a lot more about the beard, you know, or the the the car, the ones
that can be heard the utterances and remembrances that can be heard, we talk about those more, but
the etiquette and the mannerisms and the way he carried himself solo maharsha the way he
		
00:01:50 --> 00:02:26
			demonstrated patience in the face of ignorance, the way he dealt in business, the way he dealt with
people that were, you know, antagonistic towards him, the way he dealt with, you know, people that
were even, you know, corrupt Muslims, the way he dealt with them. These dealings we forget. So we,
we embody, the love of the prophet SAW Islam in superficial ways, but the character that it demands
we've kind of lost sight of, you know, like, the most ironic case of that I felt was like a hedge.
So when I went to hedge, you know, there are people that have books with them of the most noon
prayers, like the hours that the prophets I seldom used to make, and they're reciting those out
		
00:02:26 --> 00:03:04
			loud, right, and they want to stand in a particular place and make those doors and it's perfectly
okay for them to push somebody out of the way to stand there and make those that you're trying to
emulate the prophets lie sometimes words, but not his character, the same guy who's making these
doors is drinking a plastic water bottle and chucking it on the street. Why would the windows
Association ever do that? Like there's a clear distinction between those two so when you develop and
start emulating the character of the solar system, then your love of Allah naturally builds that's
how your love of a lot actually builds it's not some mysterious thing that will build it will build
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:39
			as you develop and bond your relationship with a lot for me personally, the thing that makes me fall
in love with our messenger all over again all over again is a study of the Seal of the Prophets I
said I'm I would recommend reading a seal book every like every year just read the read through the
life of the prophet Isaiah. So listen about the life of the Prophet size of them. And the more you
learn about him, the more inshallah the love will increase. And as your love of Allah azza wa jal I
found that nothing Nothing has given me love of Allah subhanaw taala like the study of the Quran,
make that a part of your life and ChildLine alone make it easy for you. Somebody mezzanine actually
		
00:03:39 --> 00:04:12
			very kind of you to ask so many of you have asked how's your son Holly doing hollywell humbleness in
perfect health? May Allah keep him that way. Angels are created to worship a lot alone. So when a
luck created and considered creating Adam, how did the angels start to ask questions of their maker?
That's the question isn't it? I asked the question in the video I made about bacara campaign in
Ramadan that I'll be teaching how in the world did angels ask the question and question it was
creation of other medicines? I thought they're supposed to be absolutely obedient. I shall not be
answering that question. I'll be doing that in Ramadan in detail inshallah.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:25
			Sorry, Nene. We'll get there inshallah. charisma shape as I have a question on laser cutter, when we
say the angels descend and spread throughout the globe, and enter each and every house.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:39
			But since we all have different time zones and lunar calendar, how is it possible to have loads of
other on the same day and at night, time around the world. So here's the thing Karishma
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			spiritual, the spiritual calendar, and the spiritual dates are from the world of the unseen and they
are not from the world of the scene. And the way time works when the prophet SAW is that I'm, for
example, travel to the seven across the seven heavens and went all the way up to meet with Eliza
within the way time works.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			And the way night and day works in the realm of the unseen is not the same as the realm of the show
who showed me the visible world, 24 hour days time zones, the sun coming up here and going up going
down over there, that stuff is how we walks are thinking about the scene world, but later from Qatar
is a reality of the unseen world. So it could be little cuddle, you know, for one group and another
group at different times in the physical sense, but it's actually counted as one by a large religion
in the way that he he knows time far beyond we do, right, that is a spiritual reality. A lot of
times we take these spiritual texts, and we try to think of them in physical ways, in the material
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:01
			ways in scientific ways. And that just doesn't work. To give you another example of that on a
completely different note is, for example, when Allah says hearts have become hard like stone,
nobody no disbeliever has a heart made of stone, even if you did surgery, it still be a squishy
thing. It wouldn't be made of stone, right? So you shouldn't think of these spiritual truths in
physical material scientific kinds of ways.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:41
			There's a really interesting last question, guys, how to distinguish between your inner self and the
whisper of shaken Islam ask that question. I don't know if it's a bad idea consider it both and just
get away from it to say are Lululemon Shakeology, and you know, your knifes only calls you to do bad
things that are clearly in violation with Allah's teachings when the shaitaan is trained it enough
so get away from it. And by the way, if you have these urges and thoughts in the month of Ramadan,
then that's totally your naps, right? That just means the chatons on a good number on your enough so
even when he's on vacation, you're not still at work, but you don't have to make that distinction to
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:49
			do the right thing. be in good company, stay pure, stay in will do as much as possible, keep the
bathroom door closed at home, you know,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:24
			and practice some of these basic things and inshallah shaitan will stay out of your life. And of
course, above and beyond elstar remembrance of the lion good company, helps us fight against the
whispers of Elijah, which will protect us from the whispers of shaitan. Actually, I did say that's
the last question. But there's one more here that I really wanted to get to. My question is how to
keep a balance between gratitude and grief. jacobellis mom cried to a point where he lost his
eyesight. So if we are grief stricken, we cried to allow RV being ungrateful. No, you're not being
an ungrateful Zeno. If you are crying to Allah. And you are you are allowed to complain to allows
		
00:07:24 --> 00:08:01
			origin and you're allowed to be, but at the same time, you can't be overwhelmed with your grief and
even Yahuwah a solemn when he heard the most horrible news, he still tried to find something
beautiful and in southern Germany. He literally used the word Jimmy. In other words, he's forcing
himself to be optimistic in the in the darkest of times, and even after years and years and years.
But as you do the high use of I find the center of use of it's it's so beautiful that he didn't lose
hope. He still hadn't lost hope. So one has to have hope in a larger vision, no matter what loss
they've suffered milazzo does that make it easy for all of you to recuperate from any difficulties
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:29
			that you're going through, we have to make this Ramadan, one that is accepted from all of us, and
it's the best Ramadan we've ever had. And allows me to make this a month that, you know, really
strengthens our bond with his book and changes the course of the rest of our lives for the better.
