Baraka la vida
de Matos see mean in continuation from last week?
But I don't want to be learned him in a show you turn your gene
in Ollie Hola, hola. Hola. Hola. Hola.
Alladhina amanu worker new Taco.
We said that
we had been knocking on the door of Wilaya.
As we fasted
as we made cm,
as we fasted, and as we made clear, and as we stood for the
night pray in the month of, of Ramadan.
And when we graduated on the day of the event, you will Jezza
was Soumya Kadalai Kofi sama yomo Jezza the day of reward. Those
doors were opened for us the doors of Wilaya the doors of becoming
the true friends of Allah subhanaw taala they will open for us.
Why? Because just two attributes are mentioned here. Hola. Hola.
Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola.
Indeed, the friends of Allah. There is no fear on them. No Oh,
they said Who are they Latina. Amanu Welcome to your taco,
Eman and taco. And that's exactly what we did in Ramadan as meaning
your your Latina Amanu coochie
coochie Valentina mean company comme la
Takuan. Oh, those of you who believe fasting has been
prescribed for you. Just like it was prescribed on those who came
before you in order that you might develop Taqwa.
And so when the month of Ramadan was made compulsory on the Muslim
information shaming, commercia, Hara failure Sunwoo. The people of
Imam did exactly that. They fasted the month for now toquilla And
they attained
Allah consciousness, the shield
take place between themselves and everything that would bring upon
them the displeasure of Allah subhanho wa taala. And by default,
they became the friends of Allah.
They became the friends of Allah subhana Huhtala as the last one to
Allah says, Allah, Allah Allah. Allah is the friend of those who
truly believe. And in other words, in Olia, who inland taco, Allah
has no friends, except for those who are truly mindful of those who
live in all of Allah subhanho wa taala. Those who are concerned,
before they do something, before they say something, before they go
anywhere, before they behave in any way. They ask themselves, is
Allah going to be pleased? If the answer is yes, they say Bismillah?
If the answer is no, they say I still fear Allah. May Allah
forgive me for even thinking about it in the first place.
So do you want to Muslim when the door is open? We knocked on the
door in Ramadan. And Allah has opened the door of Wilaya opened
the door of friendship for us to become the true friends of Allah
subhanho wa taala.
But it doesn't mean that we can now sit on our laurels
and that we can go back to our old ways
and that we can become mindless and careless and heedless and
reckless.
But instead we have to know we have to continue.
We have to intensify.
We have to become more focused. We have to become more careful. We
have to become more conscious and mindful
in order that we should draw ever closer to Allah subhanaw taala
with this Wilaya with this friendship that we have attained
in the month of Ramadan.
And so we continue with our Hadith which we started last week. Hadith
recorded by the moment Buhari visa he in his authentic compilation of
a hadith man idly Willian the Hadith Bootsy Collins Surah allah
sallallahu Sallam Karl Allah Allah, the messenger of allah
sallallahu sallam said that Allah subhanaw taala says, Man nah,
Dolly, well Ian,
will have
ever makes an enemy of a friend of mine. Whoever shows emnity towards
a friend of mine, I declare Edina belhar Allah declares war on that
person. Allah declares war on that person. This is the high status of
the friends of Allah subhana Huhtala.
We dealt with that last week we are going to continue to eat the
light Allah.
Then Allah subhanaw taala said, We're ma Takara Ilya Abdi be che
in a Hapa Ilya, master to Allah, and my servant has never drawn
closer to me with anything more beloved to be
than that which have made compulsory on them.
Then that which I've made compulsory on them
too much Muslimeen.
The compulsory actions are very few
that which Allah subhanaw taala
has prescribed as an obligation
on every believer to hearken every person that has reached the age of
puberty, he is of sound mind.
Very few things that we have to do.
And Islam, tomato Muslimeen anybody says, anybody that says
Islam is difficult, they haven't understood Islam. Allah Islam is
easy.
Islam is easy. The Prophet said Salah Salem, Edina, Yusuf,
the religion is easy.
Wallen, you shared the dinner in love.
And nobody becomes extreme in the way that they practice their
religion, except that it will overcome them.
It's not sustainable, to be extreme,
as well as one of the other. He commanded al Kitab and your hood
one na sobre la Luffy de Nico.
Don't be extreme in your religion.
That the folk AHA they, they use the example of when the woman used
to get the height
of the hood, the old used to put them outside
in the windy house.
I don't know if they had windows, I'm just surmising
or at least they would separate themselves totally from the words
when it was inside the house or outside the house.
And the Christians would go as normal. Whether the woman had the
height or didn't have the height, they would go as normal. We as in
Islam, Malvina saw
rubber rubber, that which is in between the navel and the knee
that is out of bounds during that period of the maintenance of one's
wife.
And so, in this similitude the folk AHA they show how Islam is
the middle path between the two extremes.
Because Erica Janda come on Merton, was SATA. And for that
reason, we've made you the middle among interestingly, this
particular iron is slept bang in the middle of Surah Baqarah.
Emphasizing that we indeed are the middle among
the profit centers.
The best of conditions are those that are in the middle of
Islam is the just equilibrium that just balance
so no extremism in Islam. It's built like that.
When you shut the dinner happen,
nobody becomes extreme in the way that they practice their religion
except that it will overcome them. It's not sustainable.
For set D do to do what's right.
And doing what's right Gemma Tomassini especially coming out of
Ramadan. Remember when we entered Ramadan, we said the one who fails
to plan plans to fail.
I would say that's even more important now opposed to Ramadan.
The one who fails to plan what they're gonna do until the next
Ramadan has certainly
plan to fail.
about going back to the old ways, and bad habits, and mindlessness
and carelessness and heedlessness of Allah subhanho wa Taala in
their daily lives. We don't want to be of those. Yola, don't make
use of them. Yeah, I mean,
we have to make Ramadan count.
So what is this? What set Did you mean?
Do what's right?
A salad. A salad is literally a damn
similar to the shield of Taqwa if you like,
from the word weaker.
Because in the month of Ramadan, we were practicing for 29 days
this year 1444 We practice for 29 days, we practiced
shielding ourselves from our desires
from our wounds in our offenses
from our lessons,
we shielded ourselves
so now coming out of Ramadan Alhamdulillah that shield is now
strong.
And the first thing that we use the shield for is to stay away
from haram. We are speaking about doing the compulsory acts.
But should we be engaging
in the compulsory acts with steadfastness while indulging in
Haram Does that make sense? Remember we really mean it our
buckets before Ramadan? Are we gonna go make new holes in the
buckets
we're going to carry on with Salah and maybe fast Mondays and
Thursdays
and a yum will be to three white days 1314 15 If we lose a month,
maybe we're going to stand up for tahajjud
we're going to continue to give sadaqa maybe some people have been
for Amara mashallah are going for Hajj.
But
gonna start indulging in Haram again. Speaking haram, looking at
haram listening to haram dealing financially with haram make new
holes in the buckets. Okay, further.
It doesn't make sense.
So,
we know Allah subhanaw taala says Mirta carrabba Ilya Abdi bisha In
a hub the LA LA
that my servant has not drawn closer to me with something more
beloved to me
than that which I've made compulsory on them. These are the
friends of Allah Allah speaking about the strings here. Do you
want to be the friends of Allah? Certainly Allah make us of your
friends me.
So by default Yamato Muslim we should be staying away from haram.
Totally, utterly.
Khalifa NuBus era DACA took was lacrimation FOCA rd shoki, the
Roma Euro not the rotten in ag Berlin Al Hasan
stay away from sins meaning stay away from haram. major sins and
minuses that is true Taqwa by default of being of the Moroccan
graduating from Ramadan al Karim, Allahu Allah Karim.
We by default Joomla to Muslimeen
We be kind of talkin should be of those people that do not
compromise when it comes to halal and haram. And if in doubt, leave
it out. Dharma you rebook Illa Allah you reboot
in
we're in Haram
I owe more than we should have you heard Laya Alamanda cathedral for
many taka Shabbat faculty Sabra Amin Dini here where the woman
walk off the Shabbat. Walk off in Ha we know this hadith very well.
That which is halal is clear, that which is haram is clear, and
between the two are doubtful areas. Not many people know about
these doubtful areas. So whoever stays away from doubtful areas has
saved the religion and they honor
and whoever falls into doubtful areas has fallen into that which
is prohibited like Kira Yura hammer, like a shepherd that takes
the sheep to graze on the border of another man's land. Indeed for
every king there are borders and the borders of Allah are his
prohibitions. That which Allah has plainly and clearly stated which
is haram.
So coming out of Ramadan as the Moroccan Hristo having restored
the shields of Taqwa The first thing we must use those shields
for is to stay away from haram was so good, you know, you're sturgeon
no be allowed to mean a noun, or sturgeon no behavioral app to mean
a noun.
Fasting is a shield, which the servant uses to shield themselves
from the fire Jannah. In other words, to shield themselves from
all that which is haram, that would lead them to the fire of
January.
So you want to see mean
we need to stay away from haram. That's number one.
Kabira Dakka Dakka and make like a person walking on a road filled
with thorns since the poet
one of my classes, I said to the students, that you know, what's
the nice thing about this road, they are more empty spaces than
what they all phones. So we have no excuse. It's not like there's
stones everywhere.
There are enough empty spaces.
And they are evenly spaced so we can literally track
a safe path, which is of course the straight path.
Let's think of it like that. As long as we stay on the straight
path and we don't wander off, then we safe because there's no thorns
on the straight path.
But if we go off the straight path, then we are down bound to
step on the thorns. So make like a person walking on a road filled
with thorns watching where they put their feet. Don't belittle a
small sin, mountains are made up of small stones.
Don't belittle a small person. Now before maybe we were doing
something which we didn't think much about, but we know it's haram
even if it is a minus one.
Now after Ramadan has clamor the parser
finished with the fasting finished with tarawih. Now we can go back
to you know,
crappy, corrupt,
indulgent, batea indulgent but the devil here devil ver, lo Allah.
Let's tuck it under severe don't belittle a small son, mountains
are made up of small stones. The Prophet saw some was asked when he
rasool Allah what is migration or messenger of Allah?
He said Al Hijra to an jural for Shimabara mean?
What is migration because not everybody was a migrator only
those that migrated from Mecca to Medina. They were the MaHA judo.
The others will the unsought
and then of course, those that came after
they would have neither been of the Mahajan in all their answers.
So everybody who wasn't a Mahajan wants to know How can I become a
Mahajan? They've got such a high status. So they asked the
messenger of allah sallallahu Sallam what is migration or
messenger of ALLAH. So he said migration is to stay away from
haram.
He used the word for worship. The word for hisher
can apply to
acquire a file can apply to words it can apply to deeds, anything
that is considered to be evil, vulgar, obscene, promiscuous, in
other words haram.
So when he says and tangible for him, he's saying stay away from
what is easy to migrate away from all that which is haram from all
that which is prohibited.
Mahara means
that which is manifest and that which is hidden,
that which is open and benefits and that which is hidden. What to
crema Salah were taught to us
occur and to pray and to give Zakah but as he mentioned first
staying away from haram, then doing the compulsory deeds for
unto Maha June, well, even harder
and harder, then you are a migrator you have the more
hygiene. If you can stay away from haram and do the compulsory deeds,
the most beloved of actions to Allah, then you are a mohajir even
if you die at home, even if you've never lived your home then you are
optimal hygiene in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa taala.
to LA and my servants have not drawn closer to me with something
more beloved to me than that which I've made compulsory on them
staying away from haram, doing the compulsory deeds these are the
friends of Allah, Allah make us of them. I mean, well masala Abdi,
you
know, awful, but it's it stop there. Now we have to intensify.
We have to go beyond in that hadith about Islam is easy. A Dini
use of the religion is easy, and nobody becomes extreme in their
religion except the little overcome them for sad they do work
hard, who so do what's right. Stay away from haram. Do the compulsory
actions were called evil and try your best over and above that. And
nerfing the word nephila literally means the other nephila literally
means the extra optional, you don't have to do it. I mean,
something that is worship, you serve Allah fairly well, you are
something that is compulsory, you'll be rewarded if you do it
will be punished if you leave it out. Something that is nephila or
sunnah almost sahab Omen, do we using the general term here?
You serve what Allah say.
You will be rewarded if you do it and you won't be punished if you
leave it out.
So we need to go hamdulillah
with the shields of Taqwa staying away from haram Alhamdulillah
looking after our compulsory actions, we need to go the extra
mile now.
We need to do some of that extra optional things, bring them into
our lives.
It was a great alum in
in Turkey. Sheikh Mahmoud Efendi Sheikh Mahmoud Effendi I think he
passed away last year. Rahim Allah Allah, huge janazah there was in
Turkey, Chef Mahmoud Effendi. They said that men practiced for 1000s
Sooners of our beloved Prophet Muhammad Salah Salem every day.
4000 Sooners
imagine that how many Sooners do we practice? Well, my son naughty
and the facade the almighty fella who autonomy to shade Okama call
and abuse listen and to ever revives my sunnah at the time of
the corruption of my ummah, then for that person will be the reward
of 100 martyrs.
Tomorrow multiple streaming light is too sad to see or to even talk
about or even to think about the state of the Ummah Allahu Akbar,
Allah
so dramatically streaming
it's time to go the extra mile.
Well, Mirza Al Abdullah Tucker, Robert, you live in the world and
my seven.
As long as they continue on my seven continues to draw closer to
me with the extra optional deeds until I love them.
Until I love them.
Other than that writes his love for us.
It's affirmed, it's confirmed. Allah subhanaw taala now loves the
servant. They have done they've stayed away from haram. They've
done the most beloved actions to Allah and now they're going the
extra mile. Call us Allah subhanaw taala Allah loves them for either
up to then Allah says and if I love my servant, couldn't do some
more Linnaeus Merapi. I become the hearing with which they hear what
Boston will never use syrupy and I become the site with which they
see or hear they will let the HEPA tissue yerba tissue Bihar and the
hands with which they work. What did you do lithium Shibuya and
they feed with which they work well in Salah knee loyalty, and
what any style any lower Uganda and if they, if they ask me,
whatever they asked me I will grant it to them. And if they seek
refuge in Me, I will grant them that protection that they seek
from me. Allahu Akbar, don't you want to be the friends of Allah
and remain the friends of Allah?
Allahu Akbar. This reminds me of a story Gematria was given. This
reminds me of a story.
A person that only listens to that which is pleasing to Allah.
Sitting in a company, people start to backbite people start to
slander.
You stand up and walk
Are we free to actually say to me, tequila, fear Allah? And don't
speak badly about so and so? Don't spread stories Did you verify this
information that you've received before passing it on, etc, etc.
But we don't sit and listen and be a party
to listening to that which is displeasing to Allah. And
likewise, looking at that which is displeasing to Allah, a big
problem in the summer, but even in the winter, a big problem in the
summer, but even in the winter, and especially with what people
are looking at on their cell phones will I ever be loved?
And with regards to what we are doing with our hands or where we
are going with our feet, I have a beautiful example. It's the story
of sabbat. The story of fair bit
of Tarbet was working in Kufa one day in his Kufa in Iraq. He was
working in Kufa and he was walking through a garden in Kufa.
And he saw
an apple on the ground, and he was hungry. So he picked up the apple,
and he put into the apple. And as he put into the apple, he suddenly
realized that he could be eating someone else's apple.
Because who does this cotton belong to? So immediately became
fearful that he had taken something which doesn't rightfully
belong to Him.
And so he went to go and look
for the owner of the garden. And who did he find? I'll Boustany
you, Al boustani. He found the gardener, the one who looks after
the garden. And he said, you know, please forgive me, sir. You know,
I found this apple and I was hungry, and I put into it. But
then I realized a staffer, Allah, Allah forgive me that I'm eating
somebody else's apple.
So he said, Listen, I'm only the gardener. But I will take you to
the side of the garden, I'll take you to the owner of the garden. So
he took him to the owner of the garden.
And you know, he's again, he's apologizing, say, Please, sir, I
found this apple, I took a bite and realized it's not mine, please
forgive me.
The owner of the garden looks at him as system.
I can't forgive you.
stuff. You know, piano has taken something which didn't belong to
me, what am I going to do? He says, I can't forgive you, except
to the condition. He says, name it, whatever, whatever the
condition is, I will fill it.
You said I will forgive you on condition that you marry my
daughter.
So I'm a single guy. And this is not a punishment. He says, My
daughter is deaf, dumb, blind and crippled.
You
I don't know if he scratched his head. But I mean, what would you
do? What would I do?
So he just he doesn't really hesitate. He just thinks for a
moment and he said I accept. I accept. Look at the water. Look at
the fear. Look at the Dukkha look at the Eman Allahu Akbar the
friends of Allah, Allah make use of them, I mean,
so
so everything is said he still makes a room, prepares a room, the
owner of the garden prepares a room for the new couple. And the
day of the car comes He hasn't even seen her yet. He hasn't even
seen the car has performed Colossus Nikka perform to build
Tunica Linux zipadelli
to build Tunica ha in FCB Dalek, he accepts I accept this marriage
of your daughter for the agreed amount Dario and he goes to the
room and it waits for his bride. He waits for his bride and they
eventually after a short while is a knock on the door.
And he opens the door
need to put a cute 20 on the Jersey opens the door
and who is standing in front of him
can come refill a little battery like the moon on the nightly which
is
this beautiful, beautiful, stunning
woman servant of Allah subhanahu wa Tada. And she says, As salam Wa
Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh Halochem Salam wa
rahmatullah wa I don't understand what's going on you. She comes
inside. He said, Your father said that you were
that you were deaf, dumb, blind and crippled. So she said
Alhamdulillah Oh, praise and thanks due solely to Allah. My
father and my mother have raised me to always be deaf to that which
is displeasing to Allah. And to be blind never to look at that which
is displeasing to Allah, and never to do that which is displeasing to
Allah and never to go anywhere. I am crippled to go
To a place that is displeasing to Allah.
And Alhamdulillah that was Laila to suffer if that was the night of
the honeymoon, and she fell pregnant. And who did she give
birth to? Out of all this chaos and Baraka? She gave birth to
knock man even with Arabic You know is that
Al Imam Al Akbar Abu Hanifa Rahim Allah Allah Ramadan was yeah, this
is a story of the friends of Allah. And look what came out of
that story. Allahu Akbar, Allah Muhammad Shafi says, couldn't do
Nursia Yellin Allah Fuquay Abu Hanifa he says we are all an imam
Shafi Rahim, Allah Tala, we are all dependents. In other words, we
are all almost to say children of the fifth of of Abu Hanifa or the
Allah Tabata. Katara Anwar. So tomato Muslimeen
we have a day we have Alhamdulillah opened the door of
Wilaya for us of friendship. Let us remain in that Wilaya let's
strengthen that we lie because it's only through that we lie that
we are going to find Allah's Nasser on the dunya and that at
the time of death, we're going to have the angel saying to us fear

Ilana your Jerry Lee said the dunya in comparison to the Akira
is like one of you taking your finger, dipping it in the ocean
and then looking at what remains on the finger after you lifted

archaea. That was one of the grandest understanding. Keep us on
