We'll continue our theme for this blessed month

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

of Ramadan.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

Moral guidance

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

from everyday experiences.

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

A student asked his Sheikh about the verse

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

of Surah Fatihah

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

where Allah very clearly states

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

O Allah only You do we worship,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

O Allah only You

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

do we ask for help.

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

And Rasulullah

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

he said,

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

If ever you seek help,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

then seek help

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

from Allah.

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

The student then asked the sheikh, why does

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

Allah then say in the Quran,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

If you help Allah,

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

Allah will help you.

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

If Allah is a source of help and

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

the one you can only turn to help,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

why does Allah himself say in the Quran

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

in

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

If you help Allah, Allah will help you.

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

The sheikh said Allah is the creator of

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

the universe

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

and each human being, khalifa tulallahi, fill out

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

the resurgent of Allah on earth.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

As such we are we serve as agents

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

of Allah on earth.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

And there's a hadith al Qudsi which is

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

inspired by Allah and narrated by the Rasul,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

and this is documented in the Sahih of

00:01:31 --> 00:01:31

Imam Muslim.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

Sheikh quoted the hadith

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

which is an authentic Hadith,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

which says,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

Allah will respond, oh son. Oh, Allah will

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

say, oh, son of Adam, oh, human being,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

I was sick and you did not visit

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

me.

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

And the person will reply, oh, Allah, you

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

are the lord of the worlds. How can

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

I visit you and you be sick?

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

And Allah will respond,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

don't you know that so and so of

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

my servant was sick

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

and you did not visit him?

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

Had you visited him, you would have found

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

me with him.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

And then the hadith go goes on,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

Allah will say, I asked for food,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

but you did not feed me and the

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

person will say, well, how can I feed

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

you?

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

You are the Lord of the heavens and

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

the earth.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

Don't you know

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

had you fed him when he was hungry

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

and he asked for food, you'd have found

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

me there with him.

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

Then the sheikh says,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

Allah is the facilitator

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08

of everything.

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

Allah is the one who empowers us even

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

whatever we do, our intelligence, our ability, our

00:03:14 --> 00:03:14

capacity.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

So everything is from Allah eventually.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

But Allah is the facilitator

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

of everything in existence.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

And we as Khalifa Tulaifilal

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

as the vestigialens of Allah on earth have

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

hakukul ibad. We have social responsibility

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

to the creation of Allah.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

We have social responsibility

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

to the creation of Allah. So we did

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

hear from this incident

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

that all authority and all majesty ultimately

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

belongs to Allah

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

And if we are true to Allah,

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

then Allah honors

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

us as being his agents on us.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

As

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

When Allah wishes well for a person,

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

Allah grants that person the capacity

00:04:04 --> 00:04:07

to be an instrument in fulfilling

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

the needs of others. In other words, Allah

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

uses that person to benefit other people.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:13

That is why

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

Allah may add years to your life.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

Not necessarily because you need it,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

but because someone may need you.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:23

Therefore,

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

we should always try. Try always your best

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

to help someone

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

because you might just be the only one

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

willing to help.

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

And Allah

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

is ever a witness

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

to everything we do. And be reassured

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

of the moting of the motivating words of

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

Rasulullah.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

Be rest assured of the motivating words of

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

Rasulullah Allah is at the assistance of that

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

person

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

as long as that person is of benefit

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

to other people.
