			So now I want to come over to Qatar everyone welcome back to the faith revival. So this next episode
we're going to actually talk about the advice of another prophet other than the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam about how a person can guard the remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala so this is a long
Hadith where the Prophet slicin and mentions Yeah, here it is Salaam john, as john stands up in
Jerusalem and he starts to give a speech, and Jesus peace be upon him or SRT Salaam is standing next
to him. So imagine the scene and the prophets lie Some said, Everyone comes out to listen to you
here. And they fill their balconies and yada yada his salon calls out to them with the commandments,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:01:26
			the commandments of prayer, the commandments of fasting, the commandments of the commandment of
charity, all of these different commandments. And the Prophet sallallahu wasallam says, Yeah, and he
his Salaam says, amongst the commandments, he says, And Allah commands you to remember him, Allah
commands you to remember him. He says, For indeed, the parable of one who remembers Allah is like a
man who has been chased down by his enemy. And as he as he's cornered by his enemy, he finds this
this fortress that cannot be penetrated, and he jumps behind that fortress, in which he protects
himself from them, until his enemy flees away from him out of despair. So imagine a person running
		
00:01:26 --> 00:02:10
			away from his enemy and then he gets behind the fortress, and his enemy tries to find ways to get
around that fortress and he finds it impossible, until he despairs and runs away. He says, This is
like a person when he remembers a lot. He does not protect himself from the shape on except by the
remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And this is why vivid remembrance is called heslin Muslim,
one of the most famous collections of remembrance of Allah is called fortress of the Muslim heslin
Muslim, because the Prophet slicin said your remembrance of Allah is a fortress for you from the
shape on if you are constantly in a state of remembrance, then shape on cannot have an entrance
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:48
			inside of U shape on cannot penetrate your faith in any way. And a lot of times people think that,
you know, I have to be in an environment where remembrance takes place so that I can remember Allah,
but the fact of the matter is that the prophets lie some prescribed Vicodin prescribed remembrance
for places that the shaman is likely to get you. So one of the most rewarding times to remember
Allah subhana wa tada to do thicket is when you're entering into the marketplace, because a bond can
get you in those spaces, right. So doing the draft of a soup the supplication as you enter into the
marketplace, when you're doing remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala in a gathering, where people are
		
00:02:48 --> 00:03:29
			likely to back by people are likely to gossip. Basically any amount of no playing Rahim Allah says,
the vicar of Allah is most important. the remembrance of Allah is most important in the places and
times where shavon is most likely to get your faith. Think about that. What is your most likely sin?
What is your most likely action to distance you from a loss of Hannah Montana? And how much do you
remember a loss of Hannah Montana in those moments? And that's why we go back to our terminal
hopital the Allahu taala. And the profits license such shape bond takes another road from shape on
cannot even be on the same street as almost because almost always in the zone and armor is always in
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:52
			the remembrance of Allah. And that garment of Eman that the profits license saw that garment of
faith is there. He's always protecting himself. And a loss of Hannah Montana mentions and was was
Elena's he describes the shape on as the one who frequently whispers and the one who sinks away and
has an embassy Rahim Allah says either vecow
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:29
			either laferla was was that when you become heedless shape on whispers what either that Corolla
kindness and when you remember a lunch on sinks away and flees away from you think about the
fortress and how you're protecting your Imam and think about when you remember Allah and establish a
regimen of the remembrance of Allah subhana wa tada in the places and times where shape on usually
gets you that's your workplace, you need to remember a lot in the workplace. That's the marketplace
you need to remember a lot there. If it's in gatherings, you need to remember a lot there. If it's
in the privacy of your home, when you're behind a computer screen, you need to have a regimen of
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:54
			Vicodin something that reminds you to remember a loss of Hannah had to add in those moments and to
start speaking or or verbalizing that they could have a loss of Hannah Montana from the heart. So
that shape bond cannot penetrate and start leading you away from faith. May Allah Subhana Allah
protect us from him and grant us that fortress of Iran and the remembrance of Allah Lama. I mean,
does that mean they'll hide on See you all next time in shot less than I want until I hear about it.
