Rania Awaad – We Heard and We Obey

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

But the first answer is always.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

We heard and we obey,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

right, is the first answer.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

To get to that point is very powerful.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

When a person gets to that point, they're

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

no longer our teachers talk about a person,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

the difference between someone who is very petty

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

in their faith, in their belief, and so

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

everything is like a tit for tat.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

How come? Why? Show me the proof. Show

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

me the evidence. Show me the hadith. Where's

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

the ayah? How do you know? Right?

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

In Islam, interestingly enough, is a religion of

00:00:30 --> 00:00:30

knowledge.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

In the Quran, Allah says seek, learn, read,

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

contemplate, look, go, travel,

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

find out. It's a religion of knowledge.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

It inspires you.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

So it's not a religion that just says

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

do because I said so.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

But when you get to a point of

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

strong belief,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52

your first answer is because Allah said so

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

and now let me explore

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

the other reasons why. You don't come at

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

it as well how come Aisha was?

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

It's a different

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

experience in the way a person approaches the

00:01:03 --> 00:01:03

dean.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

It's a valid question.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

Let's have a discussion.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

But that pettiness of like, well, I'm not

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

going to deal with the prayer or the

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

hijab or anything else until you can explain

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

the h nine story.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

It's a different way

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

of dealing with this deen.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

But you wanna talk about tzedarash? Let's talk

00:01:21 --> 00:01:21

about it.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

But you don't tit for tat with God.
