Salam aleikum.
We will be here on a docket on a day
when I will be learning you should emphasize the Atma in Armenia the love for them
and when you're liberal for her the
you know you
want
to Horace Salama Anna at 800
lurking in a sheath on every gene
in Allaha Equatoria saloon
you handed in
a lot of data and humor the wider
data, Ibrahim
Ibrahim Majeed Allahumma barik
ala Muhammad
Ibrahim
Ibrahim in
respect to listeners,
we gather for the
monthly spiritual gathering, which coincidentally is also
the occasion when we can complete the third and final part of the commentary of sort of professional
whose second part I did Lastly, you can leave first parts we completed the week before
and I say coincidentally because the final part of sort of infection
speaks about the knifes the soul
and it's returned to Allah.
And the words are your or your
own
soul,
which is movement in which is at peace which is settled, tranquil and contempt
is Jerry Larabee Kira via to be returned to your Lord of albia. Pleased meaning you are pleased with Allah. And you are content with how law Street View with what law has given you. malviya
means pleased with Allah is pleased with you, just as you are content with Allah, Allah has content with you. But that's as far as your relationship with Allah is concerned. You are pleased with him and he is pleased with you also. But within yourself. The words are, yeah, you know, some of my inner soul which is trying to
settle and trample. Now, these final verses come at the end of this is why I said, coincidentally, we the focus of the spiritual monthly gathering is on the spirits is on the roof. It's on the inner dimension of Islam.
And this is the third and final part of the seat and this is how it ends. So there is a coincidence
and a correlation between these two topics. But the question here is, okay, this is the third and final part of sort of perfection.
What are the overall contents or sort of federal?
I'll just summarize in the beginning, Allah swears by it's an early macam saw the tense or to be revealed in terms of the order of revelation. And in the beginning, last swears by a number of things,
the morning, the even and odd numbers, the 10 nights,
the mind
and then law having swarmed by these things, which repeats and repeats on something which is mentioned elsewhere. And I'm not in as many words which is that is that it's a rhetorical question Is there an oath in this for one who possesses intelligence, then law having swarmed by these things speaks about
the nations of the past, not all of them, but three nations.
And again, just as a summary refers to them,
the people of
the people of the world and the people of Pharaoh
and how Allah destroyed them, because they had become corrupt and spread corruption in the land.
And then Allah warns in the next verse that you're
Is watchful he lives in wet.
Then law speaks about man's unstable, fickle nature.
His capricious nature is fluctuating nature, how easily he becomes happy with the law
enters into a state of exaltation.
And then just as easily how man drops into depths of despair and displeasure with Allah. And why does he do this? Why does he have this strange fluctuating love hate relationship even with his own Lord?
Because
man treats a law, a human being treats a law and his or her relationship with Allah. Just like
when the man or woman treats his or her relationship with another human being.
We see a lot in the same way.
Someone saw that in a way allies to be used allies to be exploited.
allies to be tend to only need only in help. And once a large usefulness has expired, we treat a lot just as we treat each other. We ignore him, we turn away from him.
We pass by as the we never, we never ever called out on law. So why does man have law describes this fluctuating love hate relationship with
a lot strikers men's love hate relationship with it with a law? Why does man do that? What leads him to behaving even with his Lord in that manner? And the simple answer is his greed, his love of dunya his view of himself because the verse doesn't just speak about man's love hate relationship with Allah. It describes how when man enjoys favours and blessings and bounces, even Montero man rises to the heights of elation and exaltation, and joy and happiness. And then the moment man feels that he hasn't got What do you want,
he instantly sinks to the depths of despair. And in both instances, when he feels that he has, he is enjoying himself, he gets what he wants, he is thankful to Allah, and he is not faithful in terms of gratitude, or, rather, he is thankful to Allah, like a person is thankful to another human being, I guess he's my friend.
So he says, would be a common My Lord has honored me. And the moment he feels that he hasn't got what he want. He doesn't just sink into depths of despair. But he actually blames this on Allah and says, I'll be a Hernan My Lord has disgraced me.
So what leads him to behaving in this manner, quite simply, he sees his relationship with Allah, in pure materialistic terms. If Allah gives him what he wants of the dunya of the world, he is happy with a law.
And if a law deprives him of what he wants of the world, he is displeased with a law.
And this is the key. So then law speaks about man's love of wealth, his greed, and how that leads him to misbehaving to
not feeding the poor and needy, not sharing with others in charity, not even
encouraging one another, to feed and giving charity not even looking after the orphan who is in most dire need.
And not only that, but with that Karuna Tora Lama, this greed, this level of wealth and material possessions
because of which man destroys his relationship with Allah, STS Allah and has a love hate relationship with him. This leads him to even devouring wealth unlawfully to such a degree that he hankers after the wealth of dead people. So someone's died.
That person's death and departure
doesn't soften this person's heart at all. Rather, not sooner has the soil of their grave dried.
Now sooner
the body is still warm in a way. No sooner has the soil have that
grave might even drive than this person is busy contemplating his share of inheritance. And in grabbing that share of inheritance, one fights with one's siblings, one's own loved ones, one's own family.
This is what greed and the love of wealth does. And then Allah ends that section by saying, if you want to murder Benjamin, you love wealth passionately and excessive. This is the secret. That's where we that's the second section. And then today we'll begin the third section. Let me read the verses, translate them and then elaborate on them. So at last panel data says, gulla, the last verse which we covered in the previous session was, one and man have been gentlemen,
and us new love wealth,
excessively
passionate,
love and says,
never.
Without,
can the
when the earth shall be crushed,
a pounding, pounding, crushing, crushing
May when the earth shall be crushed, a crushing question.
With jarabacoa Medical soften, suffer, and your LORD shall come. And the angels row by row
with Gao may even be jahannam on that day, and on that day, gentlemen shall be brought
to May the girl in San Juan,
on that day,
Mangle Take heed.
But where for him
is the admonition
your poor your lightening of them to the higher?
He says?
Would that I
If only I had
sent forth for my life,
filmmakers and now you're at the barber who had so on that day, no one shall punish the punishing of a law
when are used or without.
And no one shall bind like the binding of a law.
Yeah.
Also which is tranquil, if G de la cara de Maria returned your Lord
tranquil,
pleased,
pleased with
for halevi body with Holly jimothy, then enter amongst my servants and enter into my garden.
Now
this is just a simple translation of these final verses. And before I begin to comment on these final verses, let me explain what I just alluded to earlier, which is that what's the connection between all of these verses, the surah, which begins with Oles, and then the destruction and the perishing of the people of Pharaoh, the people of the moon, the people of God.
And then the verse, the verses speak, begin to speak about man's strange nature, his love of wealth, and then they end with the day of judgment and reckoning. And finally,
the words that our soul which is tranquil return to your law, pleased and pleased with, and enter into my amongst my servants and enter into my garden. So what is the connection of this final section? With the previous sections? This is the holy book,
and the words are not random. And there's a thread of connection between every single verse of the soul and in fact, throughout the quarter.
And a very simple summary would be
that yes, lub takes a lot of vows, Allah swears takes an oath on various things. That's to emphasize the message to arrest our attention, to attract us to captivate us first of all, and to emphasize what law is about to say. So we listen with all ears.
So what is the message what is a compliment of these others?
What is the message of these dogs? The messages? Have you not seen how a lot destroyed the earlier nations?
Your Lord is watchful. Why did he destroy them because they spread corruption in the land.
They transgressed and living in a butthole, Filipina little V and facade, those who transgressed in the lands and then spread much corruption there in
your orders, watch for
them a lot begins to speak about ma'am.
Wow. Because, yes, entire communities, entire nations perished because of their collective corruption
and their collective transgression.
But societies and communities and nations are made up of individuals.
If the individual is corrupt, the nation will be corrupt,
if individuals are good, and pure, and societies and communities and nations collectively will be good.
So the collective distract the collective transgression and the collective corruption of the nations was down to and because of individual corruption and individual transgression.
And how did that individual transgression come about? Simply because of man?
intemperance
in measure,
insatiable love of wealth,
and his attachment to the room.
Then Allah subhanho wa Taala warns us
a lot then suddenly moves to the next section, which is color, the one which we are about to begin today is our look at.
When the air shall be crushed, pounding and pounding, crushing by crushing, so Allah suddenly move on man, Herman, jamaats, killer.
You love wealth excessively, and immediately the next verses, men, so that very words may have a connection with the previous verse, men, when the earth shall be crushed, pounding bipap a woman speaks of the day of reckoning,
a loss coming to judge between his creation, gentlemen being brought.
So
what is the connection is very simple, the love of wealth,
the attachment to the world.
All of this suggests that we are so attached to the world so devoted to wealth and material life, that we think we are immortal. We think this is the life on earth for eternity. This is our paradise or our health. This is our life. This is our final abode.
And we think nothing will come to an end.
Because that's what wealth does. It blinds us to reality. Its wealth, which and materialism which makes us transgress, which makes us delirious, delusional,
arrogant,
rising above our station, it makes a man feel immortal.
Alas, he's never
and dramatically, Allah then says, Do you think the life of the world is everlasting? Do you think your own life is everlasting? Do you think you are immortal? Do you think the world and its beauty and its glitter and its contents will remain and will last will be enduring. Never a love and says this rich you love so deeply, which you are so attached to a lot of destroyed. It's not just by casually removing it a lovely pound and crushed earlier.
On that day, your LORD shall come.
And the angels roll by row in order to judge between
on that occasion.
The ungrateful sub who had failed in life will say, only then the person will realize
and they will come to their senses, then it'll be too late. So all I say is they will realize but their realization won't benefit them in any way.
And then men will say, if only wood the wood that I had, if only I had, alas will be unto me If only I had sent forth laity for my life.
Then he will realize that that wasn't the life. This is the life.
In between eight, a love and punish, finally law speaks about the soul.
This is in contrast to that soul. And the law speaks about the tranquil content soul.
One that's pleased and a lot pleased with it. So we begin with the perishing of nations. And we end with the individual soul. What's the connection, very simple. nations are corrupt. Nations and societies and communities are bits, individuals.
They are corrupt because of the individual transgression and the corruption of the purse. And ultimately, that individual
is not who we think he or she is. The individual the past, is not this bag of flesh and bones. It's not this body of blood,
and flesh, the individual is actually the soul that resides with him. If that soul is pure, the person is pure. The person is pure, and pious, they have an effect on those around them.
And the others have an effect on them.
And communities and societies and nations are also good and pure. But it's the soul is corrupt
than the person is corrupts. If the individual is corrupt, societies, communities and nations are corrupt. And when they are what happened to those nations that were collectively transgressing and corrupt, Allah subhanho wa Taala began the sutra with the Adam thorac, a father of the ad, Have you not seen what your Lord did with the people.
So let's be so there are there's a thread running through the whole sorta it's very well connected, every part of it is connected. So let's begin the section the final section of today, a lot of panel data. So here is a look at an old
name, when the earth shall be crushed, pounding by pounding
the means to grind
to pound to crush
in Arabic,
as well as in other languages, but you can see this quite evidently in Arabic.
And this is for the benefit of the students of Arabic, many words which have which are very similar sounding letters.
They are very close in meaning and at times even identical.
So that with a small car,
as we would crudely call it, that the calf and duck with a half more or less mean the same thing. That means to grind to pound to crush that means to grind, pound and crush
the pig we call flour.
So
there are other verses as well in which Allah speaks about the earth and the heavens, the earth and the sky being ground and crushed. Now this is just one verse throughout the especially in the macam towards law speaks at length about the violent and dramatic
and destructive end
of the universe.
The stars breaking up, the sun being wrapped up, the stars losing losing their luster and light. The heavens being rolled up like a scroll is rolled up by a scribe. You will not miss America your surgeon will
come over to help him or Edo wagon Elena, Hakuna fighting
on the day when we shall follow the sky
like the scribes folding of the scroll.
And most tellingly, Allah says come out, but that not a one a helping reader. Just as we began creation, we shall return it to its former state, ie to nothingness.
wider than arena it is a promise binding on us in na kunafa a lien verily we will do.
So even scientists, I'm not proving one thing with the other Neither do I want to prove what
scientists are saying with the Quran or vice versa, but it's just as a passing comment. When
Scientists and physical theoretical physicists and astronomers and cosmologists speak about the origin of the universe and the end of the universe. How do they speak, one of the theories is it began with a big bang. And it will just as it exploded, the end will come with an implosion.
And it's violence.
The destruction of the stars, they're losing their lands.
Stars collapsing.
We may live on Earth a lot, but we live on Earth. It's serene, it's tranquil. It's beautiful. It's distracting. The blue oceans, the Aqua oceans, the blue sky,
the white clouds, greenery, lush vegetation,
tranquility and serenity in nature and in beauty. But this small
ball of the Earth
is a mere speck.
In our universe smaller than a speck. It's minuscule.
And all around us, there is violence and destruction.
And amazingly, we have no evidence of life anywhere.
And the arguments given as everything is perfect on Earth, we have just the right amount of water, just the right amount of heat, just the right amount of energy.
We have a protective belt around the earth that protects us from the sun's radiation, something which isn't a magnetic field which isn't available anywhere else. Everything is just perfect. We are in the perfect zone of the solar system. We're in the perfect region for energy, and heat and light and raise. Everything seems to be perfect.
So conveniently coincidental.
So even around us now there is violence and destruction, the universe and lovingly speak about the origin of the universe and its end. Well, one of the theories is it began with an explosion and it will end with an implosion. Just as it began from a speck nothingness, it will return to nothingness komaba that
just as we began we shall return creations
while the Marlena kunafa ID is a binding promise honors, we will do it. And in other verses the law speaks about the violence and destructive end of the of the of the world of the universe, the sky and heavens as we know it. In terms of who were at war, even mudroom. gadalla were either Jabbar last year
when the the shampoo era
when the sun shall be folded up. Again, as I was saying earlier, similar sounding words
are very similar.
guff Guevara.
Some of you Well, I'm not playing mental or verbal gymnastics. This is a fact. I've explained to you before how gefallen means to conceal
and similar sounding words while on fire in English as well for cover, but it means to cover go around means exactly the same thing. You've got golf at the beginning you've got right at the end, and the only different letter in between is wow, I'm fat girl Faraj and kawara Guevara means to fold
I'm wearing in a moment.
This part here is known as gold. And in books of 15 probably have read your Jiu Jitsu Judo had a go remember, it's permissible to prostrate on the goal of is a man meaning on the fold of one's a man it's permissible to prostrate on the fold of one's a man. When a person folds something What does he do if you've got a blanket and you fold it, you can seal and you'd cover the middle part. So folding is because of covering.
So that's where the word fold comes from in Arabic go around and it's related to ghafar which means to cover. So, and Allah says here is a sham Saku whereas when the sun will be folded up wrapped up
the shrimp support with a mudroom Amanda starshop breaker
whether Jabara suya, and then this mount despite their minds, when they will be made to sail and float. The end of the earth will be a destructive and
traumatic event and not just the end of the earth, but the universe
is a mountain far away they'll go work even
when the sky shall split
when the stars will be dispersed,
and the law speaks about the oceans with a bit harder subject, when the oceans shall be stopped,
the water of the oceans will be heated up and rise like lava, scolding and scorching. There are many such verses throughout the Koran all of which speak of the dramatic explosive and destructive end of the universe. This is what our world will come to.
This is what our gold will come to. This is what our buildings and our palaces are mansions and palatial homes we'll come to, this is what all that we have built will end in.
Is it worth it? Allah says Allah here only says in one verse governor
Carney, when the earth shall be crushed, pounding by pounding question by question, when that happens,
along with jarabacoa Medical suffer and suffer the next verses and your LORD shall come and the angels row by row,
row by row and wire will allow law will come to judge between this creation
and the angels were beaten God and in waiting, and they will be part of the reckoning and the judging process.
With g eo may even be jahannam
a lot of essays on that day, gentlemen shall be brought.
How will john will be brought?
Sorry, how will gentlemen be brought in man
Muslim law regulates the
sort of demand Timothy and others from seeing them I am delighted that they'll be a law firm, that the prophets of Allah Almighty Who seldom said
on the Day of Judgment,
john shall be brought, being dragged
by seven to foul being pulled and dragged by 70,000 reigns among each rain will be 70,000 angels, it's a sci fi for Muslim. Now, before I continue, because this is the, the dramatic part of the day of reckoning ends here. In just these few words, namely, when the earth shall be crushed by crushing, pounding, and your LORD shall come and the angels are row by row.
And john them, * will be brought.
On that day,
we may find that strange.
JOHN them * being dragged
by angels have a definite number 70,000 on each rain and there will be 7000 rains, and it shall be brought.
Your Lord will come and the angels will come. Roll by roll.
Well, you see,
first of all, when we say about last panel with Allah that Allah will come this is known as one of the verses of Safar where Allah describes himself in a certain way. And
how do we
understand and interpret such verse as well law speaks of himself in a certain manner.
Allah describes himself as coming, a law will come your Lord will come. So how do we understand these verses? It's very simple. We accept them just as they are.
We described a lot as he has described himself without in false interpretation or interpolation, without dismissing without denying, and most importantly, without comparing or likening it to anything in his creation. Just as we believe that a lie exists, and Allah has ever lived in
Salas existence is not my coexistence but we accept as existence
alone living because he himself says Allahu La ilaha illa Allah there is no god except Him, except he,
the living
so we accept that Allah is living from another law.
We seek refuge and alarm protectors protection, we do not describe a law being living, as we would understand or compare and or describe and compare any of the living be, and the process of life in that person or being or living entity. Why? We accept however law describes himself and we describe him in the same words, without modality without harness. So we accept that a law his living, but we don't describe her, nor do we delve into it, nor do we compare it with anything in his creation. And that goes for all of the stuff out all of the attributes of the last panel with honor and the simple rule is last season Look, what am lasica mythic edition,
there is nothing like and
what who was Sonny ruble See, and then immediately Allah things, and he is all hearing he is all seeing. So just as a law is unlike anything allows a hearing is unlike the hearing of anything or anyone and a law seeing is unlike the seeing of anyone or anything, but since Allah has described himself in that manner, we describe him accordingly. And this is the safest, and the simplest
and the most classical
and the most authentic and ancient and traditional position of understanding these verses of CFR have a lot of attributes. So when Allah says that your Lord will come, we accept that Allah will come, he has described himself as coming and we accept that he will come in a manner which fits the last panel with that, we do not delve into the hands or the modality I was coming then last week, so that gentleman and again, you may seem strange 70,000 reigns on the fire of * being dragged by 7000 angels on each ring. Well, the thing is, the verses of the Quran and the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sent them
our descriptions contained descriptions of another world and the universe, another dimension altogether.
And we are enabled,
comprehend or grasp the reality of we are of the afterlife, or of Jim and Jim
or the day of reckoning. So, we are, we are like children.
If
you cannot explain the realities of life, and the sophist trees of philosophy,
or logic,
or the intricacies of science, or the complexities of any branch of learning to a three year old child, we just cannot. And even if we attempted to the child would be unable to grasp it. Because its understanding of the world its vision, its brain is unable to understand comprehend or Grasp any of these realities. So we are like children even worse than children in contrast to the US.
So we are told things in a certain way to facilitate our understanding, but it's not the reality. And the best way of describing it is, we live in a three dimensional world.
When people's when when we are told about a fourth dimension, we just cannot understand it, we attempt to understand the fourth dimension the four dimensional world through three dimensions,
which is almost impossible. So the fourth, the fourth dimension still appears to us as a as a three dimensional thing.
Just impossible for us to understand.
But we are told certain things in our crude language in the hope of understanding of law speaks about the pleasures of gender
and
in the court and what's mentioned fruits
so fruit selection.
Pure wine has mentioned
milk has mentioned
milk, honey, and wine and pure springs of water I mentioned.
Now, a cynic could say is this paradise, wine, water milk and
I can have that here.
Why?
Don't want Don't tell me this paradise, this life on Earth my paradise in the Quran, Allah speaks about gardens of dense foliage
go out on any Sunday afternoon and you'll find gardens of dense foliage
fruits, water, wine,
milk, honey,
branches hanging, lowered laden with fruit.
So, is this is this paradise? No, the profits? Of course it is but not as you think his last name was William says in that famous authentic Hadees
that Allah has prepared for his servants such rewards in Jim
malar angulimala. What are
what are hopper Allah, Allah, Allah has prepared such rewards
such things, but no AI has ever beheld, no AI has ever seen,
no ear has ever heard. And most importantly, they have never even crossed the imagination or the hearts of a single soul on Earth.
All of it is a mere comparison.
So much so that on the day of reckoning or soul loss and the love it was some of them will fall prostrate to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
Before the reckoning will begin,
and Allah will inspire the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with such words of praise on that occasion, which he did not know in the world. Even though Mohammed means
the one who is the most praised
and means the one who praises the mouse.
Maybe inshallah, I will devote a whole talk just to the two names of Mohammed.
But in simple terms, Ahmed means the one who praises the best and the most. And Mohammed means the one who is praised the best and the most. So what that means is, Muhammad is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because Allah praises him the most. And he is because of the entire creation. He is the one who is the most praising of the last panel. But even that, some Allahu alayhi wa sallam did not know what words of praise Allah will inspire him with on the day of reckoning.
Because it's another world, it's another diamonds.
So
these are simple terms for our understanding fruits, but not the fruits of the world. Water but not the water of the world.
Wine but not the wine of the world.
Milk and Honey, but not the milk and honey of the world. It's indescribable. It's a crude introduction.
Because it's a complete different dimension. So when Allah says, your Lord will come, and gentlemen shall be dragged and brought, and the last and allow it Some say there's so many angels, that's to facilitate our understanding. Otherwise, that dimension, we are unable to understand this is why I said about other as well. That we believe in other. We believe in fate, Destiny, we can never wrap our minds around, it's impossible to understand, because we human beings, we think in dimensions of time and space.
But imagine,
time and space
are features of this universe.
The time and space do not necessarily have to be features of another universe.
Time space began
with the beginning of this universe.
And there isn't just one universal last panel with Allah says that hungry love
or Praise be to allow the Lord of the worlds
so
there are many universes, many skies we don't know multiverses but time and space are features of this universe.
Before a lot of time and space are his creation.
So for us, the past is the past. Today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow. Before last
there is no past there is no present. There is no future. In that sense.
Time
Space do not apply to Allah has the word offer they are his creation.
But yes, when Allah has described himself in a certain way, we describe a lot his origin the same way. So quite simply This is different dimension will suffice with this love and sayings. On that day when your LORD shall come.
I used to judge and gentlemen Hellfire will be brought
and what will happen? They'll make you
insane.
On that day man shall realize, man shall be admonished man shall take he will be too late. What anala has decorah? And how can there be ammunition for him? Meaning, what law described others before the how we treat Allah xojo We are happy with a lot of times displeased with him at times. We love the world we love wealth.
And our love of wealth and attachment to the world leads us to behave in certain ways. All of this
we will realize that that life on Earth wasn't the life this is the life that the world was going to come to an end. Our wealth meant nothing, I will do nothing.
If only I had done good if only I had changed my life, we will regret but regretting on that occasion will be few times it will be useless. Especially the Ramsay's but when people will be punished

So everyone realizes when it's too late, everyone will realize in the hereafter everyone will realize at the time of death, even Pharaoh realized that the time of death.
Age,
law has given us time last given his age, and it's for us to realize before it's too late.
And on the Day of Judgment, we will have many regrets.
In fact, in a heavy violated by
the law here like
what sort of law, the law it was in themselves.
But if man
was to fall down prostrate in frustration was to fall flat on his face in frustration, from the moment
of birth, till the month and remain in frustration, till the moment he dies of old age, even then, on the day of judgment, he will wish that he could go back to the world and spend a longer life in the frustration of the law.
So that's where a person who spent his entire life from the moment of birth till the moment of death and old age, fallen and prostrate flat on their face and frustration. So what will be the state and the regrets of those
who disobeyed the last panel who
will lead a life of need of heedlessness of neglect
of disobedience.
And that day in other verses of the Koran would that I have not taken that person as a best friend,
we will regret even our friendships.
This is why company is so important. Choose the right company
the company of those with whom you will spend life on earth and inshallah life in the hereafter
if one or the other so during the mean as Allah sees brothers, reclining on couches facing each other
lets us realize before it's too late and choose the right environment, choose the right company choose the right surroundings. All of this has an effect i said earlier on about individuals constituting societies, communities and nations. And if the individual is corrupt, well, quite simply, if we look backwards from the end of the verse, if the soul is corrupt, the individual will be corrupt. If the individual is corrupt, the society and community and nation will be corrupt. They all have an effect on each other.
We're always blaming others will never question ourselves.
Others are always wrong. Others are corrosive and corrupting.
Others have a negative and adverse influence.
What about us, the fact is, we influence others, others influences. We all influence each other. We reinforce each other's behavior
and that's why it's important to surround yourself with good company, a good atmosphere, a good environment.
Good people
and we learn from the Hadeeth inauthentic hadrosaurid. A lot of rented by mumble party and others will last a lot it will seldom says that fucker will Hola.
boastfulness and haughtiness ought to be found in the herders of camels.
With Sakina, the World War car, and tranquility, and composure
under docility, are to be found in the shepherds
of flocks of sheep and goats. What does that mean?
It's very simple. camels are very difficult, tall,
mighty,
strong, and therefore strong headed, stubborn, obstinate objects, very difficult to control, unpredictable, rash,
bold bow.
All of these qualities, all these attributes, find their way into those camel herders who spend a lot of time with cameras.
So you will see camel herders being proud and arrogant and strong headed, and stubborn and obstinate,
and unpredictable. And just as rash
as the camels, and sheep,
and lambs. We call them lambs, lambs, and sheep and goats, or dosa.
serene, tranquil. Sometimes it takes 10 men to control one candle when it goes when it loses it. And it's an unpredictable, it can happen anytime. It takes 10 men to control a candle. And what happens people behave like camels as well how I'll explain to you the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, once the Sahaba of the Allah. He said to the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
give me something is better than the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave him some wealth.
So then he complained, in front of everybody. You haven't given me anything. You haven't honored me. You haven't given me anything.
So the Sahaba of the law, became extremely angry. And some of them were about to lunge at
profits of the law hiding something suddenly leave and leave. And
then
he took him into private
and gave him more wealth, and more, until he was satisfied. Then the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, Have I now given you enough said, Yes. Have I now honored you as you wanted? You said yes. Just to listen. Earlier on you spoke to me in a certain way in front of my companions, they now feel something in their heart towards you. So why don't you go out? And you now say something which will remove that rancor from their hearts?
So he said, Yes, I will. So he took him out.
And then the prophets of love it was given you said yes. He said yes. And then it was clarified. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam turned to the Sahaba of the Allahu Missa. to them. My example, with my opinion, my example and your example, is that of a camel.
a camel becomes rebellious, it loses control. So people try to comment, but the more they try to control you the more bots
then the owner comes. And then the owner stroke sits, calmly, smoothly, lovingly shows that love and affection and then speaks to it and whispers turd, and it calms it down.
So the moral I was taken from that story is, that's camels nature.
If you tell a camel, calm down, it bolts even more. If you tell a camel settle down angrily. The camel jumps even more.
So you forgot one person. 10 people can't control a camera.
And that's how some people are. You tell them to do good and they become worse. You tell them to stop.
And they increase the pace just as in the bar and says what you eat and tequila after that is to be with me for high school gentlemen, when it's a set to him fear Allah than arrogance and pride in sin Caesars em. So what's the ultimate abode of such a person? fastball gem. So gentlemen is sufficient for him.
When a person is advised, one should humble oneself and listen to that advice.
Not become even more rebellious.
It's like telling someone Okay, calm down. So the person gets even angrier. Okay, keep quiet. So before they were they were going to say something for 10 seconds. Now they say for 10 minutes.
So people are like cannons and that's how the province of the love it who seldom said, pride, haughtiness, boastfulness are in camel herders and docility and calmness and tranquility. All of this is to be found in shepherds. Now you'll see shepherds law, but this is why in a hadith Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Man Libyan illawarra there is no prophets of Allah, except that he has herded flocks of sheep. every prophet has been a shepherd, because a lot of train them to be shepherds of his people,
of their people. And shepherds, they have a beautiful life. They go out into nature.
They see the horizon, the sky, the land,
the crisp, beautiful air, they breathe it in,
every every day from morning till evening, and with great tranquility and serenity around them in nature. They have a whole her whole flock of sheep or goats with one whistle, one word, one click of the tongue, the whole flock moves in the direction they want it to, as I said, Because lambs, sheep and goats are docile, serene, and calm. It takes 10 men to control one camel, and it takes one poodle to control a whole flock of sheep.
And that tranquility, that serenity, that calmness and that composure, transfer themselves into the character and the being of the shepherd. So if sheep and goats can have such an effect, if candles can have such an effect,
then imagine how much of an effect live walking, talking, intelligent, exchanging, interacting, communicating, humans have on each of our tastes, our ideas, our words. That's why we should choose our company carefully, lest we do not become a one of those who on the Day of Judgment says,
alas, will be unto me, would that I have not If only I had not taken such a person to be my friend, for he misled me and led me astray from the Victorville remembrance of Allah after the remembrance had come to me.
That's why I mentioned these verses because all of them are to do with the vicar of Allah Subhana Allah, the admonition and the remembrance of Allah azza wa jal, and that's here. You're making your own insam on that day, Mangle realize that he won't realize man will realize will be too late. One man who vichara And where's the admonition for him? Where is the realization for him? It's too late
as the last season of the vessel when the bomb Cobra comes a great disaster comes
your way to that girl in San Tomas De
Lima Yarrow for a moment.
The dunia
what a man half an
hour in the gym,
when the great disaster shall come. On that day, man shall remember what he had strived for.
And the verses are very similar to this. One is that the gentleman in the yellow and john Jane, the Hellfire shall be revealed for those who've seen so as for one who transgressed and gave preference to the worldly life.
His abode shall be the Hellfire, and ask for one who feared the standing before his Lord
and prevented his soul from its selfish desire for him and agenda to heal matter, then Gemma will be his abode. And this is the same message to be found throughout the course on what it is, believe in the author believe in life after death, a realization that we have to be accountable before Allah subhanho wa Taala
will ultimately lead us to behave
otherwise, we will remain the way we are. And this leads us to the next part. So the
sinful one will say,
he will realize, but how will realization benefits him your quarter year later and he put them to the hierarchy, he will say, if,
if only I had sent forth meaning good deeds for this life of mine.
Because what's the meaning of this life, ie the life of the life of the
law that says on that day no one will punish like the punishing of a loved one with time and buying like the binding and the time of a law. And in contrast to that sinful woeful soul,
the good soul, the pure soul, Allah subhanho wa Taala and the angels will say it.
Yeah.
of soul, which has more to my inner which is contempt, which is tranquil, the real meaning of it
is to be settle
at rest,
returned to your Lord pleased ally, you are pleased with law and content, multimedia, and allies, please I'm content with you. And amongst my servants, are last chosen servants. And to my God.
Allow me to explain some of this.
Law has mentioned three types of soul in the body.
And nevsun ammara and Mufson lawan. And under some of
these all mentioned in the Quran. And
while innocent Amar, this is mentioned in sort of use of our last panel who would say he's quoting
either Yusuf Alayhi, Salam or the,
the wife of the Minister of Egypt, that are both opinions, most commentators in Sharla, when I do that, the seed of sort of use of I will speak on that in more detail but for now suffice to say that this Allah is quoting
and the words are warm out what we're missing in that amount of muscle
and I do not excuse exonerates
my soul from blank
in the left solid amount of the soul. Indeed, the soul is
excessively
instructing to evil.
So, one type of soul is the soul that excessively instructs to evil.
Then the other soul is
innocent lawanna lapsim will be on the arm, what else it will be.
I do swear name, I do swear
by the day of reckoning,
resurrection, and I do need I do swear by the rebuking stone. So the next soul is mentioned is rebuking soul. And this is the third one, a tranquil soul. So what do all of these refer to?
They aren't necessarily stages. They are descriptions of the soul, it's different states.
And yes, a person does progress in a way and citizen stage two because a person does progress from a soul which is forever and increasingly an excessively instructing and inciting wanton evil to a soul which is a bit more conscious, and which rebukes the individual to a soul which is content tranquil and at peace with itself and pleasing to Allah, and pleased by.
And the soul which is excessively instructing to evil that's a Martin Bissell and ammara. We are him as human beings.
Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah has created him beings in between animals and angels. Love creates that animals, animals have desires. The need to procreate, to eat to drink, and to live and survive.
But the animals have intelligence, functional intelligence and not high intelligence or enlightenment. Angels on the other hand,
have no means no desire is a food drink or, or or otherwise.
And angels
are full of enlightenment and high end
Intelligence and in between the last panel that Allah has created man and in man, Allah has placed both types of characteristics. Man has the character of bestie, or best bestie or beings of beasts. Therefore man has the need and the desire, to eat, to drink, to rest, to survive to procreate.
And there's a limit, there's a certain limits before which some need and then zesty and beyond which it's a luxury and beyond which indulgence and access.
And at the same time, man has also been given dad with intelligence, high intelligence and the potential This is a thing, animals do not have potential. Angel do not have potential in the sense that they are as they are as a last created them. Animals are as they are last created them. A lot has given man potential potential to be as low as the lowest of the animals, or as great so as to be beloved to Allah subhanho wa Taala, about whom Allah even boasts of tears angels.
So men can rise or fall however he wants to. And the way of rising and falling is simple if man behaves like a beast and syncs to that low.
as low as that then Allah says in the Quran, Allah Agricola Namib urban, these people are like animals now they are even worse, man can become worse than the animals.
Man can rise. And because we are
animals we have we share certain characteristics with animals, our knifes is best
an animal in nature, so our knifes will do its job. Our knifes will be a Mara bisou, meaning it will excessively inviters and instructors and take us to evil. That's what the nuts does. This is our test. This is our struggle. We are not angels.
We can be injured.
We are not animals, and beasts, or we can be beastly, we have the potential for both. So the soul will do its job, it will incite us to evil, we have to fight against it, we have to struggle with it, we have to overcome it, we have to suppress it, we have to deny it. And that's what law says whether stems whoever fears are standing before his Lord, and prevents the soul from its desire.
Then Jenna is it's about. However,
once a person does
work on the soul on the spirits, and behave, and controls and curbs the desires of the spirit and trains it and does not become the slave of the soul rather enslaves the soul himself or herself, then the soul becomes a bit more submissive, and a bit more conscious. And the soul actually helps so in which way, so that when a person does wrong, the conscience speaks and the conscience acts and the soul itself. At times when it fails, it needs a person to evil, but other times, the soul feels shame, and it tells the person Why did you do this, you shouldn't have done this, this is wrong, that inner voice that nagging conscience, and that is enough sulla wama, the repeating soul by which
a lot of swears, but the best is an absolute way.
Not so much my inner is the soul with which Allah has pleased and that soul is pleased and content with Allah. Of course no one can be pure, perfect no one can be. This is why we are not held to account for stray thoughts.
But if we allow them to dwell if we entertain them, if we accept them, if we do not resist them, if we do not reject them, then we are responsible.
But
then the soul is pleased with alarm lines pleased with it. That's as far as Africa is concerned. But for the believer, the believer has the potential for having a tranquil soul even in the world.
He can and I will speak about this at length on another occasion, the triangle soul, but quite simply, how does a person because what does it mean? It means to be at rest. To be tranquil, to be settled, to be calm. How can a person calm one's soul? Settle it? Give it rest. Give it peace, be at peace. Be content
Be tranquil.
There are many ways, one of them is to stop hankering after the dunya. To be restless about the dunya.
We as far as the dunya is concerned, we are never satisfied. Wealth comes and goes, as a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, If man had one value of gold, he would desire a second, if you had a second value of desire a third, and nothing can fill the cavity in man, except the dust of the earth, it will never be enough for us. We will always be restless and desiring more, because that's greed. And one way of being content is to be content and tranquil. One way of being tranquil is to be content with a decree of a law.
To accept what laws chosen for us to accept our fate to accept our destiny, to accept.
Because pain is when we resist.
We have lost the 1000 pounds.
We lost it,
can we learn a lesson and move on,
but to forever ruminate and think about that loss, to burn from within.
To resist what already is
the catch, change it?
Why fight the impossible is to calmly accept
a believer when they rely on the last panel, attach themselves to Allah be content with a laws decree. That's why in the last in the law, it says, a man will never reach the reality of faith until he realizes and comes to know
comes to know there's a difference between information and true knowledge. So a man will not reach the reality of he man and faith until he comes to know and until he realizes that that which was going to meet him was never going to miss him and that she was going to miss him was never going to meet.
That which was going to miss him was never going to mean to match that which was going to befall him was never going to miss him. That's why as they say a miss isn't as good as a mile. A Miss is as good as a mile. Sometimes we regret. I was that close. We were that close, but it disappeared when the opportunity was gone. I was that close? And we regret the fact that we were that close? Well, whether it was an inch or a millimeter or whether it was a mile? The thing is it misters either way a missus as good as mine.
Why fight to why resist? Why struggle against it? Why resist what already is?
A person can be content in this world and that man and tranquil but only when the person does good, but in the after this message will be given to a person at the time of death. And at the time of the hereafter. The angels will actually say this to a person at the time of death and in the afterlife. That's why the blades Batman party and Mr. Muslim and others from Season are about Masonic there'll be a lot more and prophets long run even Selim said
La Habra La
Mancha La la la la la, la. Whoever loves the meeting of Allah. Allah loves to meet him. And whoever dislikes the thought of meeting with a law, a lot of dislikes his meet.
So many in anti Sharia law one has said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or messenger of Allah we all dislike death, and who likes to have Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said it's not that it's that when death comes to a believer,
allows gentleman
although this wedding isn't in Bukhari and Muslim, but it is another narrations, a last forgiveness and his mercy and His genma are shown to him. And therefore he is even more desirous of meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala.
And when death comes to a sinful, ungrateful person, then a last punishment and the dire consequences of the alpha are shown to him, and therefore he dislikes the meeting of the law.
There's so much more to be said. But I'll end with this on the day of
reckoning Allah, it will be set to the person in the world are so tranquil, returned to your Lord, because that is the ultimate abode of a purse to Allah.
And in which way, the soul is pleased with a lot of lies pleased with the soul. Then Allah will also say to the soul on the Day of Judgment, and so will the angels for the leafy birdie. Enter amongst my servants, I lost chosen sevens, the sevens that the Prophet Yusuf Alayhi Salaam prayed for the Prophet Solomon alayhis salaam prayed for
what will never admit to coffee by the gods Sila hainesville, the Mona Lisa Lam said, and oh my lord, and to me through your mercy amongst your pious servants, and the proper use of Le ceram said dauphinee Muslim on what happened he was sorry, he, oh my lord.
Take me in death, as a Muslim and attach
to the pass.
So these are the chosen servants of Allah, that Allah, Allah will say to the soul, enter amongst my servants with Holy jimothy and enter into my cart. We end with this I pray that Allah subhanho wa Taala enables to understand
inshallah, as I said, I had to rush the final few verses, but on a subsequent occasion inshallah I will hopefully speak in detail at length, specifically about the tranquil and content soul.
I pray the law enables us to understand the meaning and the message of the words of the holy war and to act upon them. Also the law
of being human in your psyche. In Scrum, like a lot more come to
