Silva and not a member failure

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

in one of the verses that was recited this evening, Allah

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

subhanaw taala says, We're

00:00:12 --> 00:00:17

gonna shaytaan emoji Musa Rahim, WA Bella Munna whom Bill Hassan it

00:00:17 --> 00:00:22

was severe Atilla Allah homeotic. Allah Allah when Allah Subhana

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

Allah says, and we tested them

00:00:26 --> 00:00:32

Bill Hassan it was good was said yet and withbad La la homeotic

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

Jiang so that perhaps they returned too long. So Hannah Tada.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:40

Meaning and this is expressed elsewhere in the Quran as well.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45

Meaning that everything that we experience in our lives, whether

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

it be good or bad, whether it be times of prosperity or times of

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

adversity, whether it be a personal trial, or whether it be a

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

personal victory, everything is a test from Allah subhanaw taala.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:59

For too often, we have the misconception that when a trial

00:00:59 --> 00:01:05

comes my way, when illness comes my way, when shortage of wealth

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

comes my way.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

I'm being tested by Allah subhanaw taala. And when wealth comes my

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

way, my way in the doors of risk opens for me when health is the

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

when everyone seems to be happy with me when my reputation seems

00:01:18 --> 00:01:23

to be okay. And then all those not testing me. I assume I'm

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27

successful. I assume I'm safe. Allah subhanaw taala that's the

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

wrong perception we have that's the wrong mindset. We have a

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

strong understanding where Allah subhanaw taala over and over in

00:01:33 --> 00:01:37

Quran. And the verse was explicit again this evening, while Bellona

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

whom Bill has entered, there was a Yeti, law Allah homology on good

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

or bad that comes your way in times of adversity or prosperity.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

All of it is a test from Allah subhanaw taala ultimately,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:54

everything in this dunya our entire stay on this dunya is a

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

test of our interaction with Allah subhanaw taala How do I react to

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

Allah subhanaw taala when He bestows me, when He bestows

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

blessings upon me, when he showers me with his blessings, what's my

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

reaction? Like?

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

How do I react to Allah subhanaw taala when he withholds

00:02:11 --> 00:02:15

am I and we certainly one of these categories

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

Am I from amongst the individuals that when Allah Subhana Allah Shah

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

with his blessings upon me,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

then I have good lord, mashallah extremely conscious of him and

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

pious of him and the smallest trial, the smallest thorn in my

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

path? I questioned why Allah Subhana Allah is doing this to me,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

or am I from those individuals because you get the the opposite

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

the complete opposite as well? Am I from among those individuals

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

when Allah takes me around to him,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

and then when it opens the doors of risk of forgetting.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

Right, so Allah subhanaw taala says, While Bellona, whom Bill has

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

sanity was a year Atilla Allahu Miljenko and Allah Who myalgia on

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

is actually the key

00:02:58 --> 00:03:03

component to this entire message. What is whatever the circumstance

00:03:03 --> 00:03:07

is that Allah subhanaw taala put you in? The idea behind it? Or the

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

reason behind it? Is Allah hung around that you return to Allah

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

subhanaw taala? How do we know that our interaction with Allah

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

subhanaw taala is successful, is that irrespective my condition, I

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

tend to him subhanaw taala either I'm turning to him to complain and

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

to ask for relief, while I'm turning to him out of gratitude

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

and acknowledgement of what he has bestowed upon me. But if ever I

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

find myself and we have to be cognizant of ourselves, we have to

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

be acutely aware of what I'm experiencing the heart in my mind,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

how I react to situations I have to be aware of this.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44

I have to ask myself the question what's my what's my perception of

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

Allah subhanaw taala What do I think of Allah subhanaw taala we

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

need this to me, what do I think of Allah subhanaw taala when he

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

was holds, what do I think of Allah subhanaw taala when he opens

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

up the above for me, what's my reaction? How do I interact with

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

Allah subhanaw taala

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

so we've completed 15 or 16 days of the month of Ramadan, and we've

00:04:05 --> 00:04:11

performed over 100 Now I feel lucky that we've performed so many

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15

of Cara personally and collectively and I mean

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

individually and collectively, we've recited so much Quran much

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

more than what we received outside of the month of Ramadan.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

While Bellona whom Bill has entered, they will save yet. We

00:04:26 --> 00:04:33

can't automatically assume that an increase of hybrid is an automatic

00:04:33 --> 00:04:33

acceptance.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

That just because of increasing our burden, I become very

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

complacent and

00:04:42 --> 00:04:47

very satisfied with myself. Even Atala Rahim Allah Allah uses the

00:04:47 --> 00:04:52

arsenal for all Massiah is you being pleased with yourself? The

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

moment you are pleased with yourself mean you are satisfied

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

you don't see any room for improvement. That means when the

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

show what steps in

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

That's when the math says steps in between the same two steps in. In

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

fact, what I wanted to quote even Atala Rahim Allah Allah wasn't

00:05:06 --> 00:05:10

that saying a VI is what I want to quote the entire letter and even

00:05:10 --> 00:05:16

Atala, Allah Tala was saying we says, and this is just to keep us

00:05:16 --> 00:05:21

in check, because, honestly, it's a bittersweet moment, we've

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

completed 15 days, 16 days of Ramadan. It's a very nice feeling

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

to know that we've increased in hybrid. It's a very nice feeling

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

to perform 20 Now I feel raka has not thought about that. That's

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

logic upon me now, I think I could have been sitting at home, it's a

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

very nice feeling to know that we've completed a hot turn by

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

ourselves 1234 times whatever the case may be. It's a very nice

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

feeling to know that I just feel the spirit of doing good and

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

giving sadaqa and whatever. And so, we celebrate that feeling we

00:05:49 --> 00:05:53

must feel good about it, but still keep ourselves in check. Because

00:05:53 --> 00:06:01

the person who's not in a bad or in the obedience of Allah, his

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

threat is threatened by sin and temptation. The person who is in

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

either who finds himself performing either is not

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

threatened. He's threatened is threatened by conceit and the idea

00:06:15 --> 00:06:19

that he feels very satisfied that I'm the guy that resigned so much

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

and I'm the guy that performs so much, we are always threatened and

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

we are always tested whether we are doing good or whether we are

00:06:25 --> 00:06:30

doing bad. So with that feeling of accomplishment off we through this

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

month,

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

just to keep ourselves in check and to ensure that our sincerity

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

stays or that pursuit of sincerity is there.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

I demand myself and everyone else have the words even utter in our

00:06:44 --> 00:06:50

Rahimullah Anna we says that Luba footie, Halakhah Ba ba ba, warmer

00:06:50 --> 00:06:57

foot the Halacha Babu of tabula perhaps it may be oh you whose

00:06:57 --> 00:07:03

excessive in his bed, oh you Allah subhanaw taala is bliss to perform

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

the Tarawera Salah every single night? Oh you are Allah Subhana

00:07:06 --> 00:07:10

Allah has blessed live with consistency in his Jama five daily

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

prayers. Oh you Allah Subhana Allah Allah has blessed me with

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

the recitation of Quran every single day in the month of

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

Ramadan. Oh you Allah subhanaw taala is blessed with giving extra

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

sadaqa and making vicar etcetera, etcetera in the month of Ramadan.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:28

Even Abdullah reminds me myself in New South, Aruba 50, halacha buta

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

perhaps the doors of TA has been open for you.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

Well, my foot the Halacha bourbon Qaboun, but the doors of

00:07:34 --> 00:07:35

acceptance hasn't been open for you.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:42

It's not a pessimistic outlook. Let's say it's reality. They are

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

going to be people on the FTM with loads and loads of good news, none

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

of that was accepted.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

So to keep ourselves in check, I demand I remind myself in yourself

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

of this of this fact, that Allah subhanaw taala could have blessed

00:07:57 --> 00:08:02

us with good deeds, but the acceptance is yet to be found. How

00:08:02 --> 00:08:06

do we gain this acceptance? Again even after Illa hon Allah Allah

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

says

00:08:09 --> 00:08:14

that, to reach Allah subhanaw taala, you only going to do so by

00:08:14 --> 00:08:19

going via Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam meaning, this dibba of

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam this following of Rasulullah sallallahu

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

sallam, outwardly and inwardly

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

the following of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam outwardly is our

00:08:29 --> 00:08:35

faith. Our faith tells us these prerequisites to Salah I need to

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

ensure my will do is intact Medusa thin tech

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

masala is not valid. There's no hope for masala ever being

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

accepted. So the outward following of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is

00:08:47 --> 00:08:51

ensuring that my prerequisites to Salah is ensuring that my account

00:08:51 --> 00:08:55

of Salah is the ensuring that everything is known adjust on me

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

It says whatever the fifth tells us right?

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

But often we stopped there. So he says no, this inward following of

00:09:03 --> 00:09:07

Rasulullah as well. Of the you have ensured that the outward

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

fouling of Rasulullah is there. Now what is your state with Allah

00:09:10 --> 00:09:15

subhanaw taala in the Salah. Are you aware that you are standing in

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

front in the court of Allah subhanaw taala? Are you aware that

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

you are reciting the Quran of Allah subhanaw taala? Are you at

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23

the very least aware that Allah Subhana Allah is observing and

00:09:23 --> 00:09:27

watching you? And this is only when we bring these two things

00:09:27 --> 00:09:27

together.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:32

If we these two things, only when we believe these two things

00:09:32 --> 00:09:36

together when we find acceptance in our deeds, Inshallah, if we

00:09:36 --> 00:09:37

leave any one of these two out

00:09:39 --> 00:09:46

then the default wishful thinking that Allah subhanaw taala will

00:09:46 --> 00:09:50

accept from us because imagine if we have this consciousness, and I

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

don't have who do

00:09:52 --> 00:09:56

we imagine if I have will do. My mind is elsewhere when I'm making

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

the point Mr. Atul Muslimeen is that Alhamdulillah we

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

We are experiencing this bittersweet feeling of completing

00:10:03 --> 00:10:08

1516 days of the month of Ramadan. And but the feeling of the fact

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

that we are nearing the end of the month of Ramadan, but the only

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14

thing that we can hope for is that Allah Subhana Allah accept from

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

us. And we pray that Allah subhanaw taala accept from us. And

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20

we can only guarantee that Allah subhanaw taala will accept from

00:10:20 --> 00:10:24

us, when we have this device of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam,

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

inwardly and outwardly. We pray that Allah subhanaw taala makes it

00:10:27 --> 00:10:32

easy for us to attain this consciousness of him throughout

00:10:32 --> 00:10:37

our throughout our ibid there's just two announcements. The one is

00:10:37 --> 00:10:42

that the fedora the fedora can be paid to to any one of the

00:10:42 --> 00:10:47

committee members at the back. This will be they have the receipt

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

books there you may receive a receipt if you wish to receive a

00:10:50 --> 00:10:53

receipt and the other thing is just a reminder on the PMO level

00:10:53 --> 00:10:58

programs on the other night 21st 23rd 21st 27th and 29th of

00:10:58 --> 00:11:03

00:11:03 --> 00:11:09

pray that Allah everybody should attend insha Allah and bring the

families along. It hasn't called the nectar fever after the Ananda
