			So now I can when I come to LA he will go to counsel. I will ask him in a nutshell apology was not
intended to mean whatever we want in our body mean when I give it to them once again a lot more
suddenly Western democratic or because we can come in and Salalah Why are you a settler? On Ernie he

friend and special guests. Boston's finest I don't know if you like the term chef, so but the best
that Boston has to offer 100 in LA, and New Jersey, Boston and New Jersey is fine. Oh, make sure you
		

			gotta respect the jersey
		

			jersey connection. We're very honored to have our dear beloved chicastic family with us tonight
inshallah Tada. And it is the 25th night of Ramadan. So the last panel entirely except from us what
a blessing night for us to reach. And of course, one of the odd nights and the last time. So I pray
that a lot of zooids accept your Ada tonight and always in the last hour allow us to catch later
than that wherever it is such a title we'll go ahead and we'll start and some Pamela in just 25
insert of the Shura, there is an expense or it starts with the ending of sort of full bleed out and
then after that we go into sort of the shoot off. And there's a verse that connects very deeply to
		

			the subject tonight
		

			in the run on when we talk about the servants of the Most Merciful and tonight we'll be talking
about a healthy fear and what it looks like to have people that fear of loss of habitat and actively
ask Allah subhanaw taala to remove the punishment from them, despite the fact that they are people
of plentiful good deeds, people who connect to a loss of data and people that are known for their
nobility, they still call upon a loss of hundreds on ask Allah subhanaw taala or bonus love and
		

			all are removed from us the the punishment of the Fire, verse seven of the surah
		

			is a very particular verse where Allah subhana wa Taala ends off the ayah so Eliza just says what
can I get okay 90 day Coco Allah now will be on the tune the Roman Parliament Hola, what two liter
Yeoman generator, the fee for Equinox in general it was very fun to say last time it says and thus
did we reveal this for an in Arabic to you that you may warn the people of Mecca and those that
dwell around it and warn them of the Day of Gathering of Yama January, concerning which there is no
doubt and Allah subhanaw taala says a group in Paradise and a group in a blazing fire. The wife of
Allah bin Abdulaziz Joaquim Allah Tada. Her name was faulty most of the medic Allah have mercy on
		

			her she said that there was one verse that when disease would read this verse, and I'm going to have
the disease used to only pray tonight rhizobia mullet every night. But his two cars were spectacular
in terms of their quality and the deep connection that he would have with the loss of Hannah
Montana. In those two cars. She said that this verse, if he read this verse, it was you know, it was
so impactful it was it caused him such grief and such fear that I would be afraid that he would die
because of how much he would cry when he would read this verse. It was particularly so Helen, she
use the example she said, you know, imagine a bird having water thrown on it. She said, I thought
		

			the oma would wake up with no halifa. And I would wake up with no husband. And it was all because of
the end of this verse 31 full agenda are frequent for say, a group in Paradise and a group in the
blazing fire. And so he used to ask an O Allah in which of the two groups Am I in Subhana Allah so I
would have found that Aziz, who is noted as being you know, one of our watch the dean though he is
separated in terms of the history, or in terms of time period, from Russia, Dean from the righteous
foot of that he is considered to be amongst them because of what he did the first or one of the
first magenta bits of this oma reviver as of this moment. And he feared for himself some panela,
		

			when he would read this verse that he was not so sure that he was from 51. To agenda, we asked the
last contact to make us all amongst them alone. I mean, and so that's the first, the first thing
that I just wanted us to think about as we're reading through the surah today. Now, one of the
things that's interesting about just 25 is that just like just 24 is all about the angels. Or
there's a lot about the angels and just 24 it's it's a theme that you find throughout the ages. And
this just the theme is actually the core app. In fact, every single surah in this book, starts off
with a verse about the poem. Okay, so we had a stretch of surahs in the beginning of the poem,
		

			And around Gers eight nine where we started to see that and here every surah within this just starts
off with a mention of the poor and so in the beginning of this surah Allah subhanaw taala says
karateka you are at laico either levina and publika beloved Aziz and Hakeem Thus does Allah the
mighty, most wise reveal to you even as he revealed to those messengers who preceded you, Allah
subhanho wa Taala Aziz Hakim, the most praiseworthy, the most praiseworthy, the most wise.
		

			Eliza just says in verse 51, so he starts to address certain objections that people have of the poor
and while also mentioning certain virtues of the poor and so in verse 51, Allah subhana wa tada
addresses the argument that you've been seeing play out, you know, particularly between just 21 and
23. This criticism of the prophets lie Selim, why don't the angels just come down and speak to us?
Why don't we see a loss of habitat? Why doesn't God Himself speak to us? All of the objections that
they're bringing, about the the Prophet slicin calling into question, the idea that he has been
chosen by Allah subhanho wa Taala, to be the messenger to mankind? Why you and how come you know,
		

			you're not able to produce this, this, this and that, and so allies addresses the challenge, you
know, that it is not befitting to any human being that Allah subhanho wa Taala. And you can leave a
whole lot in LA here, only what are a few jobs that Allah subhanaw taala should speak to him except
through revelation or from behind a veil, or that's a messenger being here being an angel sent to
him that reveals to him by Allah Subhana antis permission, whatever he wills and Allah subhana wa
tada is it and hekima lies with others all high and most wise, and then Allah subhanaw taala says,
Oh, hey, not unique at all, Hammond Amina and thus we have sent from you we have revealed to you Oh
		

			prophet of a lot of spirits by our commands. And so just like every prophet had an angel that came
to them, and Eliza did reveal to them in the same way, Allah subhana wa Taala is revealing to you
through a spirit by our command. And this is probably you know, one of the most beautiful
		

			about the because it speaks to the Prophet slicin on receiving report and this is verse 50. To the
end of the surah last contrast, does not contact every man Kitab or whatever you man, when I can
Jana who Nora Natty Vina Michelle
		

			indicated
		

			that you did not know you knew neither what the book nor the faith was, you did not know that this
was going to happen to you or messenger of a lot of the prophets lie some of them did not know that
he would one day have this great message bestowed upon him and he would be raised to this rank it
his slot was set up. He was looking he was in search and Allah subhana wa tada says, and we made
that spirits alight by whereby we guide those of our servants, when we pleased the right way. So
this light that Allah chose you or Mohammed soleimani was selected to be the carrier of we have made
it such that that light will guide whom we pleased amongst our servants, and surely, you know
		

			affirming to the Prophet slicin reassuring the prophets lie so that you are directing people to the
right way. You are directing people to the right way Do not let the questioning of these people
cause you to have any self doubt about who you are, you know, about who you are in the sight of
Allah subhanaw taala and about the integrity of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the
message that was bestowed upon him the next surah Allah subhana wa tada again, having when Kitab and
will be in Jana, who for an hour be an Allah contacted on that Allah Subhana Allah swears by the
book of Allah swears by the clear book kind of lost. So in the end of the previous surah a lot as
		

			Nigel is reassuring the prophets lie Selim confirming once again who he is and the means by which
Allah subhanaw taala guided him and by extension guides us that this Quran, Allah subhana wa tada is
the author of this book. And so here a lot actually swears by the Quran and a lot of those swears by
as the clear book, meaning there is no ambiguity in regards to this book, not in the message itself,
nor in the integrity and the confirmation and the authority of the messenger sallallahu wasallam.
Barely we have made it an Arabic port and once again, clear language that you may understand. And
Allah subhanho wa Taala says, well in the Hopi Omen kitabi that Dana Nardi and Hakeem, indeed, it is
		

			transcribed in the original book with us exalted and full of wisdom. Allah subhanho wa Taala then
tells us the real reason why these people were questioning the prophets why some of them it was not
that they were questioning the prophets lie some of them because they are
		

			You know, because they really doubted the poor app. Okay, so verse 31, Allah subhana wa tada says,
we'll call you Lola Mozilla had them for an hour and aluminum polyurethane niobium. They say, why
was this poor and not set down upon some great none from the two cities?
		

			And so what they mean by that? Is that why you? So it wasn't about the message. It wasn't about the
messenger. It was about us not being chosen to be from the messengers which speaks to their real
intention when they mock the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. They said, Why did this not come upon
people like will lead them in the leader or earthmoving lobby or the nobles of like arguably Mr.
Rude the people that were the elites of Mecca and live so these are the same that are being referred
to here why you Oh, it should have been one of us and Allah subhanho wa Taala says, whom you
actually want to live with topic do they get to distribute the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala it is a
		

			loss of hundreds I would distribute our livelihood amongst us in this world and Allah subhanaw taala
who raises in rank as he chooses, and Allah subhana wa tada His mercy is up to him. It is he who
decrees it as he sees fit. So how to horchata so it answers the clear objection, the real reason why
they were objecting to the profits A lot of it was in his prophethood Finally, the next surah Allah
subhanaw taala says once again having when Kitab and will being a loss of Hannah who swears by the
clear book once again and Allah subhana wa tada says in
		

			green indeed we weren't by it. He how you could have been an Hakeem and every matter is decreed
precisely on that night of labor to others so so panela
		

			To conclude, as I handed over, from sorts of decline to shahidullah
		

			the fact that they were complaining that why was the poor and decreed which is the greatest blessing
right the last 100 times decreed Why did a lot choose you O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and
rejecting the Quran because they were displeased with the decree of Allah. And then here Allah
subhana wa tada says, The Quran was revealed on this blessed night they live other than last answer
allow us to observe it. And that is the night in which all are decreed on an annual basis we pray
that Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those that have only the best decreed for them. We pray
that Allah subhana wa tada make us amongst those that are recipients of His mercy in this blessing
		

			night and his forgiveness and his pleasure along the way. I mean, and inshallah tada with that, I'm
going to pass them off to Shambo.
		

			Mila Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah.
		

			He was about
		

			the the chapter and which I wish to speak about too shall on his 25th juice is chapter of Zoho
chapter of Zoho. Zoho actually means ornaments and as some have mentioned, golden ornaments. And I'm
actually going to cite the verse in which that word is mentioned. And it was in the verse that
		

			it comes right after the verse that shamar alluded to that he mentioned, verse number 31, all the
way to roughly
		

			verse number 35. inshallah Tada. So, just as he said, You know, this was a statement of the parish,
the Meccans, the people that disbelieved and the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him,
the people that disbelieve in a monotheistic practice and worshiping God by himself and recognizing
his his greatness, will they recognize his greatness, but did they have the appropriate response to
that knowledge? And that's what's mostly important here which makes the difference between him and
you know, the Muslims and the and the people that did not believe at that time. And in general, a
loss of kind of what Allah says after all, the National gene will call you Lola Lola Lucy to have a
		

			look at an annual budget Amina Adia teeny alim and they said being the Quraysh, Lola and Lucy to
handle Quran Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah understand the Quran, Allah, Allah Julian, and they said,
What? You know, only if this Koran was revealed upon a man from either one of the two I forget to
call him and he's to Korea. taneous as he mentioned, either Mecca or thought if being that it was
		

			nobody in Malaya or Mr. Earley been around this route, or they allow
		

			these two individuals nothing, that it was revealed upon these two individuals, because they had
stature. They had respect. They had honor. They were they were diplomats and they were well known.
And so panela it's interesting here because you know, Islam
		

			always takes into consideration the poor and destitute. Islam always looks at humility, the actions
of the heart before anything else, before any ornaments, or anything that is superficial or anything
that is apparent under the umino nebulae be those that believe in the unseen. And that was isn't
what we talked about in the first lesson. It's important to value the inner connection that one has
with their maker. That's what is valued, what the relationship, their heart, what their heart
carries, and what is exemplified through their actions is what Islam what Allah Subhana Allah values
the most. So that may mean that you may not be well known amongst the people, but with a loss of
		

			power with Allah, you are someone that is Beloved, you may not be mentioned amongst the people, you
may not be popular and everything of that nature, but you are with Allah subhanho wa Taala when you
are alone, Allah loves you. And that's what's so beautiful here. Because they are, ah, they saw the
prophet SAW a light or something I'm having Mohammed saw the code. I mean, he is someone that's
trustworthy, and he is honest. But when it came to him receiving the message of how to change our
life, slow down, slow down, that's a little too much. So that's what's so beautiful here is that
ilasik kind of gave him this magnificent message, because of his humility, and his honor, and a loss
		

			of Allah chooses whom He wills. So Allah subhanho wa Taala does a refutation against that question
that they had. And some scholars mentioned, as I mentioned that, you know, there's three refutations
that he has here, first refutation or rebuttal.
		

			Or
		

			are they the ones that distribute so Ally's asking a rhetorical question?
		

			Basically, if you have the right to ask that question, let me ask this question. Do they distribute
rock, metal or beaker? Are they the ones that distribute the mercy of your Lord? We are the ones who
have appointed amongst them the livelihood and the life of this world and have raised some amongst
them above others and degrees. So the first rebuttal was, do they have the right to distribute the
mercy? Right maternal beaker, Nana cosina kasana bainham.
		

			We are the ones that distribute the mercy. So a loss of pan with Allah Subhana Allah, you will find
that he will always turn it back to his authority. And he will always remind you of who he is, and
his names and attributes and what they mean in the life of the human being. As soon as you question
the authority of what God has chosen, he always brings it back to proper perspective. And that is
something that's important for the Muslim when they want to see and remind themselves how to
actualize Islam, we can say within their lives, but within your heart. How should your heart
exemplify that connection with God? When you ask why this person, if Allah has chosen that person,
		

			and you see the character and what they're calling to support? I remember when I was hearing about
Islam, the first of my questions being from the West was okay, what is Muhammad one? Right? Okay, I
believe in the oneness of God and all that, but this Muhammad, so I said, What is he walked for me.
		

			And that was what was so intriguing to me is that he doesn't want anything from you, except for you
to worship God by himself. That is why he was sent, which made me more inquisitive, and eventually
to become Muslim. So here, we see that I lost one of the first questions that we are the ones do
they are they the ones that have the authority to distribute the mercy? And I want you to notice he
says, not enough for some that being whom he can hire to do and yet we are the ones here that
distribute the maisha to whom that their livelihood in this life, or to find out about the home folk
about them yet, and we have raised some of them above others in degrees. That's the second rebuttal.
		

			So the first thing is that a rhetorical question that do they think they have the right to
distribute this mercy amongst one another, we are the ones that give some people virtues over
others. We are the ones that have that clear authority. And then a loss of power with Allah
continues on to say in verse number 32, or metodika, hiatal min, manage our own, and this is
beautiful here, it's important for you to remember, for those of you that may be trying to pack
practice your faith and try to try to exemplify your love of Allah subhanho wa Taala and your
practice of your faith. And you may have some people you may have some friends that may make fun of
		

			you or belittle you because you're trying to be someone that prays five times a day. I remember
there's a friend of mine, he may be watching you remember, He always talks about you know, one time
they were they were watching the I think it was a football game or the Super Bowl and he said, You
know, I gotta get up and pray man and his friends like what? You're gonna go pray, we're watching
the game. And they always made fun of him because he left the game to go and pray. Don't ever feel
that you are less of a person or be little when you're doing something that you know is right. Do
not let the ones that are of creation, make you feel that you are doing something wrong when you're
		

			turning towards
		

			creator, or you're doing an action that shows gratitude to your Creator. And that's what's so
beautiful about these verses because Allah is telling you let your mind and your heart transcend the
dunya. And that's what he goes on to say here, and the next verse, at the end of this verse, the
mercy of Allah is greater than what they gathered clay Edelman may in Maryland, you've memorized the
Quran, and people may look down upon you because you don't have a degree, had the hadal magazine my
own. Do not ever belittle the fact that you are someone that's doing an action that is beloved to
Allah and people that may have something more of you more than you in this dunya
		

			they look down upon you because you don't have it but you have you have something that is much
greater the implementation of your love of God and your devotion to him initially from your heart.
That's why it says heighten it's better than what these people gather. And then a loss of patent
what dialysis will Ola and your coonan so much and why just imagine that you may you may only be
using superformance books in one room, there are lots of panels continues on to say
		

			and if there were not of a people that would that would become one community of people that just
believed we would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful for their houses, ceilings
and stairways of silver upon which to mount. Okay. And then he says and further houses with the blue
team have a wealth of weapon and further houses, doors and couches will suit on Las Vegas ticket on
couches, or we could say beds yet take it on and yet to get one is like to lean it's like it's so
lavish. you're leaning, you're chilling, you just you just lean in there. Right? And then the last
one was a roofer. And that's the beginning of verse number 35. Zuko prefers the golden ornaments
		

			here. So he's saying, if we will, we would make everyone on this earth people that said, we don't
believe in God. We don't believe that there is someone that deserves to be worshipped by himself. He
could have easily made that if he would have made that he would have blessed all of them. With
stairways, with ceilings all made of silver. Can you imagine? Literally they're getting their shine
on everything is shining. And that's why some scholars say silver because it is shiny, and it is
attracted to the eye. It mesmerizes you then the last panel dices was rougher. And he says we're in
kulu Delica limited her material here to dunya. Well, you know to what asciidoctor ended up being a
		

			little more tucked in and he ends here in Zoho, he's saying even with that we will give them golden
ornaments within the cooler that again all of that what you just heard, all of that which you
naturally desire is Metatron is it doing it it is an enjoyment of this life. And then he makes the
comparison when not to and the accuracy and with your Lord is greater for the tequila for the month
tucking that is much greater for them. So realize brothers and sisters, the name of this chapter is
just reminding you Subhanallah Do not be mesmerized by the dunya and don't let that distract you
from what is more important and then conclude. You know once upon a law there was a time of the
		

			prophet SAW a sentiment when many of us may know the Hadith of the Prophet son was lying on a mat
and when he stood up from the mat, he had the thought he had the elements or signs of the mat on his
side. And even mushroom came and said yet also lie low at 200 laka. We said they said O Messenger of
Allah flew to take for you a pillow or something of this nature. He said Molly will it dunya he said
what is for me in this life verily I am a comparison to this life. cara cara occupant is developed
after Shalom Shalom synthomer karma what Soraka I'm like a writer that is in this life, that takes
the shade of a tree gets his shade of a tree gets up and then proceeds on remember that this dunya
		

			literally comes from that which is low we should not cherish it to the degree to where it
compromises our character by belittling others that show and exemplify their love of Allah Subhana
Allah May Allah make us of those that value the next life more than we value this life and use this
life as a means to come closer to the owner of the next life just come along.
		

			Sure enough
		

			now 100 in LA salatu salam ala rasulillah on early also have human wander along with Sally Watson
Sallim wa barik ala Sayyidina, Muhammad Ali and often enough in manga in Allah and Naomi Deen. It's
a pleasure to be with all of you this evening. And shall I'll try to keep my remarks slightly
shorter.
		

			What's inspiring me this evening when it comes to the 25th of June is really a statement by Abdullah
Ms. Who'd won
		

			in reference to the how I mean these verses these chapters that we're in right now in the 25th jaws
of the portal that start in really the 24th and end in the 26th. There are seven sewer they're
called aloha meme or the Halloween the family of high memes, seven chapters that have the same code
at the top which is Hamming and encompass pretty much all the same meanings in various ways.
		

			And he says something that was very beautiful that touched me and it really struck me in a way that
hopefully inshallah will be of use to everyone. He says he though apostrophe le Hamming. If you find
yourself walking through the Koran, and you stumble upon the family of Hamming fatwa kata Fie robot,
then certainly you have found yourself in gardens, beautiful, endless gardens, blissful gardens at
the unnatural fee when I myself find all of my pleasure, my joy, my relaxation, my relief in these
gardens. You know, when we hear things like this very often, you know, we kind of just make a note
of it. Okay, I'm below him and Mr. Wood said with regards to the seven sort of the high mean that
		

			it's like going through their gardens. Okay, next. But you know, what stopped what part what made me
pause here was, you know, for someone like Abdullah, he blew my spirit to say that is actually
pretty profound. Because who is Abdullah he been a minister when he was Minister of Japan and oh,
and he and he's one of the first who have entered into Islam. He is Sahaba Legion attain. He's one
of those who made the two plans to have a Sha two RB SR into Medina. He was sahiwal gnarly Nabi
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he would carry the slippers of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam promise I said learn one time that he was climbing a tree and the companions kind of
		

			snickered at the fact that he had thin legs. And they said, What do you love? He said, What do you
guys laughing at? So we're laughing at the fact that, you know, Abdullah Massoud has these thin legs
he says, Don't laugh For verily his legs are off calm, and they are weightier than the the mount
mountain of our hood. And perhaps one of the greatest badges of honor of our beloved Massoud is that
he was a one woman Zahara Becky tabula, he FEMA, he was the first to come out openly and recite the
Quran in Mecca. And that was a very brave, very spirited act. This is someone who loved the prophet
who loved this path. And he came out and certainly he was received with a pretty bad bruising.
		

			So one of the features of the seven suit is that the consensus of scholarship is that all seven of
the Hello meme are revealed in Mecca, in terms of the entirety of the suit, and they were revealed
sequentially, right, from refer to a half.
		

			And, and it's perhaps the case will Lahu Ireland that this was revealed in the latter part of the
latter part of the meccan period, roughly two three years before the digital.
		

			So if you put yourself in Satan, I believe in Mr. Wood shoes. He is someone who is witnessing all of
this trauma, and this pain, this difficulty the attacks on this community in an open air prison
realistically, right? He's going through at all he's been through the ups and the downs, he's
watching as the mushrikeen are doing what they're doing. He's trying to, you know, negotiate this
whole reality of this new way of life of the Prophet Mohammed sly send them has introduced and then
the seven chapters of the Quran come down. And he describes them as gardens. And, and that really
struck me so I started to read the sewer,
		

			as if I'm walking through a garden,
		

			you know, here in Boston, nearby where I live, we have something called the Arnold Arboretum. It's
260 acres of a natural reserve, and it's managed by Harvard. And they say that they've brought, you
know, trees from all across the world, so many different species. And it's truly an amazing thing.
You go into one alleyway, one ravine, one space, one place, one pathway, you see trees that are
really remarkable, intertwined, different types of bark, different types of, you know, leaves, etc.
It's really a beautiful thing and everywhere you go, you're looking at trees, but you're looking at
different things, different sense, different sites, different scenes, and they all inspire you
		

			profoundly so you can imagine so you do not have to let him miss out walking through the house. I
mean, as he's reading about Allah subhanho wa Taala talking about securing him at night in our
family and that sort of facilitate that certainly we are going to show them our signs in the
horizons What's he enforcing him and in themselves hat diet obeying Allah home and now what happens
until this is truly proven to them that this is the truth that this is clearly clarified. This is
called an well being I should homeschool spoke about this is a clear call to action and this is a
clarifying call on when I'm actually build a bigger Nanakuli Shay in Shaheed is it not sufficient
		

			for your Lord that Allah subhanho wa Taala witnesses all things. So what does that do to someone
like I below him and Mr. Wood, what kind of inspiration what kind of you know if he's in an open air
prison and Allah is now talking about His signs and manifesting His signs, Allah subhana wa tada is
giving so you do not allow him access
		

			into the nations that have passed, giving them the story, the historical insight of what happened to
add in the mood. Being able to read these stories, analyze what happened to them, why what happened
to them? That's a beautiful garden to live in right there. Then juxtapose with the stories of Moosa
and Isa and Ibrahim and it's my you know the you know, my last Countdown to other humans Salama,
Jemaine and to be living in their world, and to realize as Allah subhanho wa Taala says, that this
is not something new sha Allah comida Dyneema wasabi, he knew Han that this Sharia this new way that
has come, you know this, this what has come upon Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is what we
		

			what we advise new with, and then this MLM Wall Mount Sinai be here below him. I'm also an ISA and a
PMO. Dean, and this is what we told Ibrahim was an ISA establish this religion. And so what does
that do to his heart and his spirit? This is him knowing that he is a part of a transgenerational,
divine, divinely oriented, revelatory reality, that is now going to shift and change their entire
existence. And they and he is a part of this because one of the things that the manifest he didn't
say about the how I mean, is that this is a form of heat. It's a preparatory succession of chapters
to prepare the hearts and the souls of the companions to say, You are now the carriers of this
		

			message. Look at Moosa and Ben, we're slightly to look at he said, I'm looking at that story. Look
at that reality. Now you are the carriers of this message. So prepare yourself, because after the
how, I mean, it's sort of Mohammed sort of Mohammed, when, when you get into with tshabalala. And
chef Alma is a very intense surah. And then you have after that, and in fact, the opening. So this
is a preparatory phase, to soften the hearts to theologically orient, to spiritually nourish, to
give historical insights to also give assessments of the pathways and the different ways of being
the end result of those who believe in the end result of those who this belief. So they truly are
		

			gardens, brothers and sisters, you know, I'll close with this and Sharla
		

			I want us to all deeply appreciate the fact that Allah subhanaw taala when it comes to our
revelation, when it comes to this beautiful Deen that Allah talks to us in the language of signs.
Signs are very beautiful. signs in the Islamic tradition are everything by the way, when Allah
commanded the prophesy send them to read. It was a tone as you know, Mozart, he says, Nikita Bella
Hillman bore Akira to Nikita Bella Hema store is to observe and read and analyze the scene signs
that are seen and analyzed and read the signs that are revealed.
		

			If you're on a highway, and your gas light turns on, you have to fill up gas now.
		

			What do you start to look for, you start to look for that little I mean, at least this is very
contextualized to American roadway. So I don't know about the international community. But at least
in the US, you start to look for that little blue thing. You know, that little blue blob that has a
squiggly line of a gas tank.
		

			And when you see it, and it says gas, half mile or a quarter mile, what happens to your heart You're
looking for the sign. You see the sign immediately induces a sense of relief,
		

			a sense of clarity, a sense of ease, and a sense of certainty, meaning that okay, in a half mile,
I'm going to be saved. I'm going to fill the tank, I'm going to get to put my two kids in the
bathroom. We've been trying to use the bathroom, I don't want them to spoil themselves. We're gonna
get some snacks. It creates an emotional and psychological and spiritual disposition that is very
profound.
		

			The signs that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed to us and the ones that he's always talking about,
to us to observe, should it precisely induce that within us? You know, why is it that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that one night when Bilal came and awakened him for to take permission
to make a van to fetch and he saw the promise I sent him crying profusely. He said, yeah, this will
allow up what makes you cry this way. He said Kay fella up cue up una de la la la jolla in a few
100%. What do you want out of the walk the laughing lady on the heart?
		

			in
		

			the very early in the creation, how am I not to cry when tonight was revealed upon me? This
beautiful verse, this beautiful sign that barely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and
alternation of the night and day are Signs for the people who have their innermost hearts.
		

			So brothers and sisters, I want all of us to learn to read the signs exactly like you're going
through a garden. Be mesmerized by them, internalize them, find clarity within them, find relief in
them, just like ambala he went through did forget that content.
		

			That you find a lead, get that perspective that you finally get that sense of certainty that you
finally need. But see, there's one thing here about signs that we have to be very careful about. If
I'm on the highway,
		

			and I don't know what to look for which sign, my car is going to break down. And the COP is going to
come to me and say, What happened? Didn't you see the sign? Like what sign? Where was the sign what
you're talking about that blue blob thing? I don't know what that is. So we have to use our minds.
We have to use our hearts we have to awaken our faculties we have to observe. So we have to be
proactive, we have to do another. We have to observe intently.
		

			And we have to be careful not to render our faculties null and void because Allah says and I'll
close with this in sha Allah in Surah jatha fri eight, Amanita Ilaha who How have you not seen those
who take as their high Lord, their desires, what Obama who lost and alone misguided them and led
them astray, either even in the face of knowledge, they had the knowledge. It was right there, the
signs were right there crying at them, you know, come here, come here, come here and I just went
that way. We'll help them on a summary. We'll call it b e and Allah subhanaw taala seals their ears
and their hearts. Well, Giada Allah sorry, here the shower, and there's this covering over their
		

			eyes.
		

			And that brothers and sisters, is what we have to be very careful about. Allah has blessed us with
signs. But he's also blessed us with the spiritual apparatus to observe the signs. If we become too
self indulgent, too self absorbed, that everything is about me, me, me, my wants, my feelings, my
desires, my fears, my anxieties Me, me, me. The signs are right. They're calling out to me for to
exit. But I just don't see it.
		

			So brothers and sisters in Charlottetown as we're reading these quotes that are caught on and we're
reading these at, let's open up our hearts and our minds to these signs. Let's find the certainty in
the signs. You know, what is known as you know, the bottle bottle eliakim the coolness of certainty.
