Silva and not a member failure
in one of the verses that was recited this evening, Allah
subhanaw taala says, We're
gonna shaytaan emoji Musa Rahim, WA Bella Munna whom Bill Hassan it
was severe Atilla Allah homeotic. Allah Allah when Allah Subhana
Allah says, and we tested them
Bill Hassan it was good was said yet and withbad La la homeotic
Jiang so that perhaps they returned too long. So Hannah Tada.
Meaning and this is expressed elsewhere in the Quran as well.
Meaning that everything that we experience in our lives, whether
it be good or bad, whether it be times of prosperity or times of
adversity, whether it be a personal trial, or whether it be a
personal victory, everything is a test from Allah subhanaw taala.
For too often, we have the misconception that when a trial
comes my way, when illness comes my way, when shortage of wealth
comes my way.
I'm being tested by Allah subhanaw taala. And when wealth comes my
way, my way in the doors of risk opens for me when health is the
when everyone seems to be happy with me when my reputation seems
to be okay. And then all those not testing me. I assume I'm
successful. I assume I'm safe. Allah subhanaw taala that's the
wrong perception we have that's the wrong mindset. We have a
strong understanding where Allah subhanaw taala over and over in
Quran. And the verse was explicit again this evening, while Bellona
whom Bill has entered, there was a Yeti, law Allah homology on good
or bad that comes your way in times of adversity or prosperity.
All of it is a test from Allah subhanaw taala ultimately,
everything in this dunya our entire stay on this dunya is a
test of our interaction with Allah subhanaw taala How do I react to
Allah subhanaw taala when He bestows me, when He bestows
blessings upon me, when he showers me with his blessings, what's my
reaction? Like?
How do I react to Allah subhanaw taala when he withholds
am I and we certainly one of these categories
Am I from amongst the individuals that when Allah Subhana Allah Shah
with his blessings upon me,
then I have good lord, mashallah extremely conscious of him and
pious of him and the smallest trial, the smallest thorn in my
path? I questioned why Allah Subhana Allah is doing this to me,
or am I from those individuals because you get the the opposite
the complete opposite as well? Am I from among those individuals
when Allah takes me around to him,
and then when it opens the doors of risk of forgetting.
Right, so Allah subhanaw taala says, While Bellona, whom Bill has
sanity was a year Atilla Allahu Miljenko and Allah Who myalgia on
is actually the key
component to this entire message. What is whatever the circumstance
is that Allah subhanaw taala put you in? The idea behind it? Or the
reason behind it? Is Allah hung around that you return to Allah
subhanaw taala? How do we know that our interaction with Allah
subhanaw taala is successful, is that irrespective my condition, I
tend to him subhanaw taala either I'm turning to him to complain and
to ask for relief, while I'm turning to him out of gratitude
and acknowledgement of what he has bestowed upon me. But if ever I
find myself and we have to be cognizant of ourselves, we have to
be acutely aware of what I'm experiencing the heart in my mind,
how I react to situations I have to be aware of this.
I have to ask myself the question what's my what's my perception of
Allah subhanaw taala What do I think of Allah subhanaw taala we
need this to me, what do I think of Allah subhanaw taala when he
was holds, what do I think of Allah subhanaw taala when he opens
up the above for me, what's my reaction? How do I interact with
Allah subhanaw taala
so we've completed 15 or 16 days of the month of Ramadan, and we've
performed over 100 Now I feel lucky that we've performed so many
of Cara personally and collectively and I mean
individually and collectively, we've recited so much Quran much
more than what we received outside of the month of Ramadan.
While Bellona whom Bill has entered, they will save yet. We
can't automatically assume that an increase of hybrid is an automatic
acceptance.
That just because of increasing our burden, I become very
complacent and
very satisfied with myself. Even Atala Rahim Allah Allah uses the
arsenal for all Massiah is you being pleased with yourself? The
moment you are pleased with yourself mean you are satisfied
you don't see any room for improvement. That means when the
show what steps in
That's when the math says steps in between the same two steps in. In
fact, what I wanted to quote even Atala Rahim Allah Allah wasn't
that saying a VI is what I want to quote the entire letter and even
Atala, Allah Tala was saying we says, and this is just to keep us
in check, because, honestly, it's a bittersweet moment, we've
completed 15 days, 16 days of Ramadan. It's a very nice feeling
to know that we've increased in hybrid. It's a very nice feeling
to perform 20 Now I feel raka has not thought about that. That's
logic upon me now, I think I could have been sitting at home, it's a
very nice feeling to know that we've completed a hot turn by
ourselves 1234 times whatever the case may be. It's a very nice
feeling to know that I just feel the spirit of doing good and
giving sadaqa and whatever. And so, we celebrate that feeling we
must feel good about it, but still keep ourselves in check. Because
the person who's not in a bad or in the obedience of Allah, his
threat is threatened by sin and temptation. The person who is in
either who finds himself performing either is not
threatened. He's threatened is threatened by conceit and the idea
that he feels very satisfied that I'm the guy that resigned so much
and I'm the guy that performs so much, we are always threatened and
we are always tested whether we are doing good or whether we are
doing bad. So with that feeling of accomplishment off we through this
month,
just to keep ourselves in check and to ensure that our sincerity
stays or that pursuit of sincerity is there.
I demand myself and everyone else have the words even utter in our
Rahimullah Anna we says that Luba footie, Halakhah Ba ba ba, warmer
foot the Halacha Babu of tabula perhaps it may be oh you whose
excessive in his bed, oh you Allah subhanaw taala is bliss to perform
the Tarawera Salah every single night? Oh you are Allah Subhana
Allah has blessed live with consistency in his Jama five daily
prayers. Oh you Allah Subhana Allah Allah has blessed me with
the recitation of Quran every single day in the month of
Ramadan. Oh you Allah subhanaw taala is blessed with giving extra
sadaqa and making vicar etcetera, etcetera in the month of Ramadan.
Even Abdullah reminds me myself in New South, Aruba 50, halacha buta
perhaps the doors of TA has been open for you.
Well, my foot the Halacha bourbon Qaboun, but the doors of
acceptance hasn't been open for you.
It's not a pessimistic outlook. Let's say it's reality. They are
going to be people on the FTM with loads and loads of good news, none
of that was accepted.
So to keep ourselves in check, I demand I remind myself in yourself
of this of this fact, that Allah subhanaw taala could have blessed
us with good deeds, but the acceptance is yet to be found. How
do we gain this acceptance? Again even after Illa hon Allah Allah
says
that, to reach Allah subhanaw taala, you only going to do so by
going via Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam meaning, this dibba of
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam this following of Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, outwardly and inwardly
the following of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam outwardly is our
faith. Our faith tells us these prerequisites to Salah I need to
ensure my will do is intact Medusa thin tech
masala is not valid. There's no hope for masala ever being
accepted. So the outward following of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is
ensuring that my prerequisites to Salah is ensuring that my account
of Salah is the ensuring that everything is known adjust on me
It says whatever the fifth tells us right?
But often we stopped there. So he says no, this inward following of
Rasulullah as well. Of the you have ensured that the outward
fouling of Rasulullah is there. Now what is your state with Allah
subhanaw taala in the Salah. Are you aware that you are standing in
front in the court of Allah subhanaw taala? Are you aware that
you are reciting the Quran of Allah subhanaw taala? Are you at
the very least aware that Allah Subhana Allah is observing and
watching you? And this is only when we bring these two things
together.
If we these two things, only when we believe these two things
together when we find acceptance in our deeds, Inshallah, if we
leave any one of these two out
then the default wishful thinking that Allah subhanaw taala will
accept from us because imagine if we have this consciousness, and I
don't have who do
we imagine if I have will do. My mind is elsewhere when I'm making
the point Mr. Atul Muslimeen is that Alhamdulillah we
We are experiencing this bittersweet feeling of completing
1516 days of the month of Ramadan. And but the feeling of the fact
that we are nearing the end of the month of Ramadan, but the only
thing that we can hope for is that Allah Subhana Allah accept from
us. And we pray that Allah subhanaw taala accept from us. And
we can only guarantee that Allah subhanaw taala will accept from
us, when we have this device of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam,
inwardly and outwardly. We pray that Allah subhanaw taala makes it
easy for us to attain this consciousness of him throughout
our throughout our ibid there's just two announcements. The one is
that the fedora the fedora can be paid to to any one of the
committee members at the back. This will be they have the receipt
books there you may receive a receipt if you wish to receive a
receipt and the other thing is just a reminder on the PMO level
programs on the other night 21st 23rd 21st 27th and 29th of
Ramadan the 21st night I believe we have half of the italic the
23rd night we have half of Mubin Parker the 21st night we have Chef
