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