Quran Al Karim knights of empowerment, parables and wisdom

from the Glorious Quran.

After the longest series of oaths, sometimes Allah has raised one

oath, and then he brings to our attention something.

In this case, there is a series of eight oaths, the longest series of

Allah in the Quran. And normally after the oath Allah evokes our

conscience, either with a question or the statement. In this case,

we're gonna see what the HA HA well commonly that Allah when the

hurry that a series of eight oaths by the brightness of the sun, and

the subsequent moonlight, that follows and by the daylight, which

makes everything conspicuous, and by the night, which obscures and

so on. And then the point comes, when let's see what masa for Allah

Maha Fujimura, what Taqwa consider the human self, and how it is

fashioned in proportion, and how it is innately imbued with the

capacity to distinguish wrong from right.

Then Allah says, Africa Hammonds

worker the herberman successful indeed is the one who keeps the

self pure and purifies yourself. debase is the one who corrupts the

self. Now this notion of knifes in the Islamic text, the concept of

knifes or self is used synonymously and interchangeably

with the spirit which is the rule, a time to the heart which is the

call.

In other words, the faculty of reasoning, Faculty of

intelligence, faculties of emotion and so on of alcohol. And

therefore, when you speak of purifying or improving the self,

we talking about a holistic development at home this world to

the hereafter to the next is one yo Mulayam for Omar, goon Ilam.

And at Allah be colbyn Salim, those who meet Allah with a pure

in sound art and the other one, Allah Allah will balloons Xena to

hayati dunya, will Bhartia to solve the heart, the permanency of

good actions, pure art and the permanency of good actions. But to

do to Ischia to do this purification, it must begin

somewhere before that there must be a starting point. And the skill

requires what you call Maha Sabha. And that is what I want to focus

on here. Bahasa Allah says in the Quran, a Hasib a nurse who a youth

Raku a young man, whom Allah you have to know do you merely think

you will say you believe and we will look test, you know? So the

idea is there will be a hisab there'll be an evaluation of you

as a number radiola I'll say ha Cebu, Kabul and Taha Cebu evaluate

yourself before you are evaluated but Allah so we find here,

reference to Maha Sabha and Maha Sabha means introspection,

critical self evaluation, a self inventory, where am I what am I

doing? And under self analysis, or self appraisal, if you wish. And

why is this Maha Sabha so important? Because on the one

hand, it helps in appraising our lives and our deeds. It also

allows for a SWOT analysis of the self looking at our strengths or

weaknesses, and of course, the opportunities we have to work on

the tasks that need to be done and so on.

So, it is for SWOT analysis, but also an appreciation of what we

have and what we require, whether it be physically, whether it be

intellectually, whether it be ideologically over the be

spiritually and also, Maha Sabha is a stepping stone to self

correction,

a stepping stone to self correction and personal

improvement.

So this idea of Maha Sabha and be very careful not to be negative

when we look at some of these terms, it it implies self

criticism. But self criticism does not mean self contempt. It doesn't

mean you hate yourself. Many people mistake humility with

humiliation, you know, and then the idea of criticism with

condemnation or contempt. We have to draw a careful balance between

working at our own self improvement and on the other hand,

feeling useless or worthless on those issues we find we may be

weakened

So self criticism, and this idea of Maha Sabha should be looked at,

as in positive act, an act of appraisal, an act that can be

empowering, that can teach us how to advance ourselves and from

which you can learn is not a tool for mortification, no for self

degradation, and for undermining yourself. Always remember that

Islam, as I mentioned, promotes humility. It never promotes

humiliation. It is through Maha Sabha that we truly get to know

ourselves. And we realize, as the wise ones have said, men out of an

officer who for

those who get to know themselves, they get to know their creative.

And this notion of maarif of knowing is absolutely essential.

It's a human is incident that occurred, talking about knowing

the sound because a person got into a airport in Cincinnati

airport, and he there was a queue of people and you want it to be

helped. And he told the lady, please help me the lady said, Sir,

so long line of people, they're all going to the same destination,

please stand in line with the rest of the people. And he said, Don't

you know why? She ignored him? She continued to please stand in line.

Again. He said, You know, why? Do you know why?

She ignored him. Third time he said to a lady, I don't think you

know, why. Do you know why? So the lady took the mic. And she

announced, she said, Please, on the intercom system, please. This

person here does not know who he is, can please someone come in

identify?

Who am I?

You see, we've gone to great heights. If climbed the highest

mountains, and to the depth of every ocean, we've been to the

moon and also send missions to Mars. But we have conquered all of

this outer space. But yet

we know very little about ourself despite knowing everything about

everybody else.

If you do not know who you are, and what you are, you will not

know why you are here.

So how will you really know what to do or why you do what you do?

And this notion of knowing this type of knowledge of the self is

very, very important.

Malefor is essential even for five as the scholar same hustle and

bustle he said Eman ma refer to mill calm will discern what

Eman is modified to will come to know the reality by your heart

are among them and you acknowledge them in the sun, you pronounce

your belief, but you manifested in your actions. Even therefore,

faith is rooted in the Malefor is rooted in the heart. Now one of

the important things to realize

from knowing they can be love from loving, then we can have the you

can worship a lord or a creator whom you don't love. And you can

love someone whom you don't know.

Many of us are lacking in Malefor. So where could they be my hub?

Because from Malefor comes from a hub from the hub comes very bad.

And that's why perhaps there is a shortfall in how our budget is

manifested. It's called as I said, la you can tab with Mala to a boom

what

it says you can't worship what you don't love. And you can't love

what you don't know.

Ma'am Java aside you love teaching mumble Hanifa said, Well, you that

agenda Dr. O'Malley fulfilled for a hubba hubba lamb you must Allahu

Ali. He said, If the splendor of the raise of knowledge of Madiba

enters the heart, then there is love and when there is love, it

will affect you in such a way that nothing else except Allah will

affect you. This is like the heart of Robin.

Oh Allah, somebody said why? You don't speak much again. Shavon in

your lectures, you speak only about love Allah says Calbee Imam

Lumia Billa for Angel makan Lucretia. Tom, my heart is so

filled with the love of Allah. There's no place for anything else

even to ha bomb and preoccupied with the love of Allah.

Now, unlike the normal days of three points, I'm gonna give us 10

points of Imam has no bursary, who advised us regarding this Maha

Sabha and how it has a consequential domino effect. How

one thing affects the other thing and insha Allah may Allah grant us

to be able to manifest this in our own lives. When has he been if so

analyzes himself will benefit. Whoever is neglectful in

evaluating himself will lose whoever looks at his faults and

rectifies them

will succeed. Whoever gives into his lowly desires is weakened.

Whoever is humble and forbearing is indeed rich and wealthy.

Whoever is fearful of doing wrong, that person is safe. Whoever takes

note has insight, whoever takes note of the reality of things has

insight and whoever is inside understand those who truly

understand they know and those who know they act upon what they know

and do the best of what they know. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant

us to manifest goodness in all that we do a call a call the other
