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
