Salam. Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
On behalf of Islamia College and magickal Furqan. who wish each and
every one of you your families and your loved ones, a Ramadan Kareem
May Allah grant all of us uses different methods, different
literary styles to convey its message. There are stories in the
Quran commands in the Quran, promises in the Quran rewards
offered in the Quran, warnings in the Quran. Among the styles the
Quran, use the literary styles is also what you call parables, or
similes that are found in the Quran. And Allah says, What Robina
fee hurdle Qurani oh well, Robin gnarliness. We have the Quran even
called the Master
Gardener the Nasi, we have the Quran even called the muscle
to the karoun we have provided in the Quran, every kind of parable,
every kind of simile, in order that people may think may ponder
and may reflect.
Now a parable or a simile is a brief, concise, instructive story
or a comparative statement, which serves as a means of instruction
that plays somewhat of an educational role. And very often
it conveys or illustrates a lesson of higher meaning.
Our theme for this Ramadan inshallah is the yalla Tamkeen and
Salma Hayek Mahmoud Al Quran, Kareem, Knights of empowerment,
parables, and wisdom from the Holy Quran.
We intend taking parables or similes or Proverbs, or wisdom
from the Quran, gleaned from the pages of the Holy Quran, in order
to gain some ethical insight, or to highlight some novel virtue or
to illustrate a valuable principle or to obtain a moral lesson, any
of which and all of which could inshallah enhance our
understanding of Islam, as well as perchance increase our commitment
to righteousness and inshallah improving ourselves.
So let's begin with the heart.
It is obvious that the physical heart is an indispensable part of
the human body,
the part that pumps the blood through the whole cardiovascular
system, providing required nourishment, and necessary
supplies, that they provide stability for the human body.
And we look in the Holy Quran we found there are four particular
terms that are used in reference to the to the heart, one is
Southern barley sugar, one is for and the most popular and common
one is called.
And reference to the heart in the Holy Quran is 132 times.
But when the Quran refers to the heart, is not referring merely to
the physical organ that pumps the blood, but rather it refers to the
confluence, that merging point, that meeting point between the
intellect, the emotion and human consciousness. It is, if you will,
a symbol of the spiritual dimension of the physical self. So
early in Surah, Al Baqarah, Allah makes reference fi Kullu B
Murghab. It begins with a heart, those hearts that have a disease.
In here disease refers to corruption in the heart, or
hypocrisy in the heart.
And then also Allah provides a parable, a simile, comparing
hearts to rocks, describing different kinds of different kinds
of hearts, and those hearts in relation to the commitment to the
faith. So they are those hearts as the Quran says, kill Hijra to shut
their hearts that are like stone. In fact, some of them are even
harder than stone hearts it up a level Calvin, devoid of healthy or
positive emotions, hearts, alumina, follow her that are
locked up hearts that are blind, to the reality of truth. That is
the heart like the heart of Abu Lahab.
Then their hearts filled with virtue filled with goodness, open
to enlightenment and troubled hearts, hearts it had the
potential for faith. But it requires to be cracked open like a
rock, before water, or 15 flow from it, like said normal until
you had experience with the system. And therefore Allah says
we're in the MENA, the Maya Shaku for
the crack open by some traumatic experience and then the faith or
the water flows. And then they are May Allah protect us, the hearts
of many people who may be in faith, purely out of fear. If I
don't believe Allah will punish me. There's no love relationship.
There's no obedience
There's no servitude. There's no spiritual connection is purely if
I don't do this, Allah will punish me. We're in Birmingham Alabama
Yeah, Silla.
We realize from all of this, that the heart is the essence. It is
the excess of goodness and of the well being of ourselves. And
therefore the last who said Allah Allah He was in a hadith
documentary of Imam Al Bukhari, he said, Allah will interfere just
the Moodle, either Salah hut. So
what are the first the first they'll just do Kulu Allah wa
he'll come in the body, there's a portion, if that portion of the
body is good,
the whole body is good. And if that portion of the person is bad,
the whole body is corrupted. And that part is the heart. Not only
that, lie is the chemo Eman or
even the faith that we profess cannot be complete cannot be
upright unless
our hearts are correct. Lie is the chemo Eman often had ties to
people who had it documented in the Muslim of Imam Muhammad and
humble scholars went so far as to say last hour in the club. There's
no Salah unless there's a presence of heart. So just going through
the ritual is one thing, but the heart needs to be present. And as
the proposed says you know do Sergio carnation Namazi, hottie
digicon upper thigh, but it can be just bowing your head, the Salah
is not done for it to be a bother. Your heart has to be present and
engaged. And therefore we find
we need to reflect the presence of heart is essential for a higher
consciousness as to why we do the acts and the rituals that we do.
From all of this we learn three points per chance one, our faith
in deeds need to come from the conviction of our hearts, our
faith, our deeds need to come from the conviction of our hearts. We
do acts with our bodies and say words with our tongues. But do we
intend what we do with the sincerity of our hearts? And
that's why I'm hustling adversity to lie. Are they one of those who
saw the Companions Fabian, who said in Eman Lisa Holly
weatherbeeta Money In The Eman ma Cara Phil called me was the coal
Amman. He said faith is not by sugarcoating of flowery words, or
by mere wishing, rather faith is firmly rooted in the heart and
manifested through good action.
So one needs to be our deeds need to come from the conviction of our
hearts number two is an important relationship between our hearts,
our human faculties, our minds and our actions. They're not separate.
And therefore Allah says in the Quran, Allah Mia see you Phil. For
the Kunal home.
Oh, yes my own
for a
while Wallach in Tamil kulula TV, so due to the nature of travel
through the land, so that the hearts may be enriched, the hearts
may understand and the ears may listen. In reality, it's not the
eyes that is blind. Rather, there's a blindness of the hearts.
So we need to be able to use our sensory faculties, apply our
rational thoughts, to identify our deepest values and to let our
principles motivate us to do what is good to motivate us to do good
actions. Those actions that emanate from the sincerity of our
hearts and the purity of our intentions. So gnarly Karim Allah
wa just said in the life of the PRD in the delay, or the near
we're in them in near T V hull Kulu. For the Kabbalah Mina Illa
Mostafa was Saliba worktop, Allah has certain vessels receptacles
containers on this earth, and among those containers or
receptacles of vessels are the human heart and Allah does not
accept anything from the human heart, except that which is done
from purity and the heart to this table, and the heart can dictate
the kind and gentle Sula therefore reminds us in Allah Allah Yun lui,

one word Baba ki young Lulu Kulu many versions of Hadith, Allah
gonna judge you by your physicality, by your wealth, by
your position or your position. He judges you by the sincerity of
your hearts and the actions that flow from it. And the third and
final point, the Quran emphasizes the most valuable asset that we
take from this world to have all the things in the wall. There are
two things two things we take with us
to solve the earth the permanent consequences
Good actions, because whatever good you do,
there is a reward for it, whatever wrong you do, you will be held
accountable for that. So there is a permanent consequence for the
good we do or the wrong we do. So, those most valuable assets we take
from this world, one Alba PR to solve the permanent consequence of
good actions, and secondly, those who come to Allah with a pure
heart, as the Quran says, when we prepare ourselves for the
inevitable Day of Resurrection for Allah to Zinio, Mokuba assume yo
Mala young Pharaoh Magoun what are the noon at Allah be called means
prepare yourself or people in such a way that you will not be sad on
the Day of Resurrection. On that day when neither your material
wealth, nor your position nor your position nor your family ties know
your status will benefit you. But rather what will benefit you man
