Amen and the Serban the was your headline Kenny. Isaiah one
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah Well, Allah Jimmy imba will mousseline a Salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
We continue our theme for this Lavon de Rowsell higher middle
classes in Umbria vikita Billa. Life lessons from the stories of
the prophets in the Quran, incidences from the lifetime of
Prophets, peace be upon them, gleaned from the pages of the
Quran, with the aim of reflecting on the wisdom that we find in the
stories and incidences to take place in a time of these profits,
and the lessons we can learn
and which you could implement in our daily lives. Tonight we focus
on lessons you learn from my particular incident occurred in
the night in the lifetime of the Musa alayhis. Salam, an event
that
is so significant that in fact Surah Al Baqarah. The second
chapter, in the clear logical order of the Quran, is titled
after it.
In this particular incident, Musa alayhis salam, his people had some
issue in the society and the wish to have some crucial meta
resolved.
Salam instructed by Allah as the verse is what he called a Musa,
and they call me in de La Jolla, Moroccan Interborough Baqarah.
Remember when Musa alayhis salam told his people that Allah has
commanded you to sacrifice a cow
or a turkey Dona Hua, the people responded to Musa and said, Are
you making a fool of us?
Now Musa alayhis salam would never make a mockery or take lightly the
Command of Allah. And certainly he would not take matters affecting
the community for which he was responsible to guide and he said
Carla beliee, an akuna minal Jaya, he, he said to his people, you
know, I seek refuge in Allah from such kind of ignorant behavior,
where I would make a full on such an important matter.
Basically, the people of Lusardi salaam did not want to follow the
Command of Allah, as was conveyed by him. So he started to
procrastinate by getting technical in some way. And using sarcastic
remarks, and engaging Musa by asking him
what kind of cow is it?
What age was the cow? B? What kind of color was the cow? B, what
shade of color was the cow? B, all this was part of a delaying
tactic. Eventually, radioactively sick sacrifice the cow, without
the hearts being engaged in that action. And the Quran says further
but who were massacred if they did it, they did sacrifice the cow.
But they did it almost as if they did not do it. In other words,
they did not really want to do it. Though they perform the act.
They understood in their minds, what was being commanded by Allah
through Musa but they did not feel in the hearts, the desire to
fulfill and follow that command with sincerity. And Allah alludes
to this when he says at the end of the verse, where you recomb it
he'll talk,
the talk and you will remember, we show you our signs and provide you
these verses.
That you may think that you may reflect so it means you may use
your intellect you may use your reasoning, you may use your mind
immediately after saying about talking about the mind the next
words that follow through
Whoo, whoo coming back Italica for Java to do customer, Allah makes
reference to the mind and immediately goes to the heart.
After all of this, your hearts have become hardened, your hearts
have become hardened, and they become like rocks. And then it
goes on to describe different kinds of rocks, which I will
elucidate upon.
So Allah says, Your hearts will become like rocks. In fact, some
of your hearts are worse than rocks, and he gives three
categories of rocks. And we shall reflect upon that.
Some hearts are like rocks. And this simile creates a particular
imagery in our mind of a thought provoking image. These rocks are
somewhat symbolic of hearts. In the water, it says we're in the
middle jollity that might affect our each of these rocks, or two of
them. Allah speaks about water flowing from that. And these rocks
are therefore symbolic, some Allah might say, of hearts, obviously.
But the water that emanates from it may represent the potential for
faith, and the potential for goodness. So let's look at the
three kinds of hearts and the three kinds of rocks. Allah says,
The first kind of heart is the kind of heart filled with
goodness, open to five
rocks and hills, from which water springs forth. You find water
flowing from it. We're in nominal IGRT lomaia gentleman who
rocks from which water flows, you find water flowing there. This is
at the heart of Seda Khadija who will need to accept Islam on
healing of the first revelation, and believe in the Prophet even
been before he announced his prophethood
she did no debating. She required no argumentation.
No convincing, she witnessed the truth. And a heart overflowed with
the fountain of faith, as well as a fountain of goodness. And as you
know, there are so said about Khadija and it be it covered a
nurse is covered to be a nurse, or wha certainly if you Maliha either
Harmonia nurse. She believed in me when no one believed, she assisted
me but everyone refused to help.
She needed no inspiration or motivation. She witnessed the
truth, and she embraced it. The second kind of heart is a troubled
heart, a heart that has the potential for faith, but only
comes to faith after some kind of a disaster, or some kind of a
traumatic event.
And this traumatic event may bring the person to the realization of
truth. We're in the mean ha the Maya Chicago for your Corojo
middleman. The second kind of rock is the one that cracks open, it
first opened by some force, and then you find water flowing
through it. And this kind of heart is like the heart of the companion
of rasool Allah through mama, from Allah, who thought it was a well
known King, powerful Arab ruler, and challenge King,
to whom one of the keys to whom the prophet sent a letter
to embrace our to invite them to Islam. He was one of those kings,
the Roman king in the Persian and he Gyptian and one of them was
through mama, and he had the intention of killing the Prophet.
And an incident occurred where he was going towards pilgrimage from
Yemen. And there was an altercation with people who
happened to be Muslim, and in an altercation, he was caught, and he
came as a prisoner to measure the number we're Sharif where he was
held as a prisoner in the masjid of Rasulullah. And then he
witnessed how Muslims behave, this enemy who wanted to kill the
Prophet,
he witnessed the behavior of the companions and the family of the
restroom. And you witnessed the benevolence and the compassion of
the Rasul. So when you will set him free, he went for a distance
and he came back. He said, No, I want to embrace this faith.
He came to Islam through a traumatic experience, a hater of
Islam, one wanton killing of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi
wasallam, but a traumatic experience like imprisonment. He
saw the reality and then from that rock, which is cracked open, they
float the faith. Then there's a third kind of heart and many
people have that. They may be in faith purely out of fear. We're in
the MaHA Lama. Yeah. Shatila that if you don't believe in Allah,
they don't do certain things. Allah will punish them. So to
avoid the punishment, they worship in the pray, but there's no deal
maybe faith coming from them. There's no Eman flowing really
within them. Of course they are Muslim. But this is a different
kind of heart. So remember that we believe in Allah's reward. We
believe in Allah as punishment is part of our belief. We should have
the faith because we genuinely
Believe
in Allah subhanho wa taala. And we do good, because it's good and the
right thing to do not because only of reward what is required is the
opposite of that kind of heart. And the opposite of that kind of
heart is the heart of Robbie, Elijah we are basally who said
Ilahi ma but to kick off a monadic welcome Onfi jannettek Bell what
it took,
but took Allah I did worship your to fear for your *? No, do I
worship you out of desire for your paradise, I found you worthy of
being worship. Therefore, I worship you
know who's one of the other points can hijack it or should do casa,
there are people whose hearts besides these three are worse than
rocks harder than rocks. And these are the hearts of Abu Lahab. And
Abu Jamal, uncles of the prophet who knew their nephew, who called
him by himself, Assad, Al Amin, the truthful and trustworthy, yet
neither the minds nor the hearts were open to the truth. And there
is an important relationship here between heart and mind. Because we
need to be able to identify our deepest values. And then those
values, guide our actions and then be influenced by rational thought.
What are the lessons we learn? From what we've heard so far?
Three points. Perhaps we can reflect upon
three lessons from this incident related to Musa alayhis salam and
his people, one.
Don't procrastinate. Don't delay if something needs to be done, do
it. If you have to do some things do what needs to be done, as soon
as it can be done in the best possible manner. Hadith of
Rasulullah and Mr. Muhammad have been humbled in combat.
Where fee for sila to fully agree Sir, if you have in your hand and
see to plan and the trumpet goes Akiyama, you still have to plant
the seed.
Because why we must acknowledge the reality that living is
temporary,
the certainty that life cannot be too long. The possibility that
life may be shorter than we anticipate. And all of this should
motivate us to action.
Do what needs to be done, as well as you can do it as soon as
possible. If not, we will have too many missed opportunities in life,
which we may eventually regret. Number two, some of us get so
technical in matters religious or otherwise, they'd be forget the
essence of why we do what we need to do. We get so technical,
specifically in religious matters.
That we forget why we do what we need to do. From looking at booths
as people there the choice of slaughtering any girl any girl
dakara Allah gonna specify lady can technical, what kind of cow
how old must be what color must be? And eventually, they found it
almost impossible to find out. And when they did it, the kind of cow
they were asking about. And eventually, they did it half
heartedly or no heartedly. Why? Custom Enos and because of the
excessive questioning. That is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam one Hadith documented saya Bukhari and Sahih Muslim man he
took my gopher just unable to convey to me who must have taught
him what I forgot you stay away from it completely. What I ordered
you to do, do it to the best of your ability.
Then he said, For innama
publikum Khasra Tomasa any him worked in our home, in the people
before you will experience annihilation and destruction
because of the extra questioning and because of the argumentation
with the prophets. And there's another Hadith it's
in Allah Korea confer Latin ki lover call what are the
three things Allah does not like? Killing tails kilo Akkad. He Said,
She Said She Said he said, getting stories. Secondly, the misplacing
of wealth. In other words, unnecessary spending, and the
third one is unnecessary, excessive questioning. And the
third lesson we learn from the simile of the rock and of the
heart, we learn the importance of having a good and a sound heart.
In fact, the Quran emphasizes the most valuable asset we take from
this world to the next about Dr to solve the permanent consequences
of good action. The good actions you do is never wiped out the
permanent consequence of good actions that flow mean carbon
saline from a pure heart. So I leave you with the message of the
third point. Always be is good
but do it with sincerity from the bottom of your heart. Otherwise,
it does not really count as the prophets Allah Allahu Allah was in
a hadith documented in the salary of Imam Al Bukhari said in Allah
Allah young guru la sala de Kooning, Anwar lickin wala ki
young guru la Kulu become Malik. Allah does not judge you by your
physicality, no by your position nor by your possession, but rather
by the sincerity of your hearts and the actions that flow there
from a cold call. The Hydra was tougher Allah wa salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah
