00:00:16 --> 00:00:22

Mohammed Al Quran Al Karim nights of empowerment, farewells and

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

wisdom from the Glorious Quran.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

In an informative explanatory verse, which you heard tonight at

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

the beginning of Surah, Anfal, Allah describes qualities of a

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

believer.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

And he says in the middle

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

to Kerala, which he looked cooler boom, were either too late early

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

to who's the Imana

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

behemoth of a cologne and Lavina Ukri Munna Salah AMI Mara zakenna

00:00:50 --> 00:00:55

home Yong Hoon. Believers indeed are those who and Allah is

00:00:55 --> 00:01:00

mentioned, feel a vibration in their hearts. And when they hear

00:01:00 --> 00:01:05

the verses of Allah being recited, they find the faith strengthened.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:10

And they put the trust in Allah. They are those who established

00:01:10 --> 00:01:15

prayer and are generous with that which Allah has provided for them.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

Here the Quran makes reference to the sign of true believers. We

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

know the haka.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:31

And he includes six key points. He says, They are those who remember

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

Allah. And that remembrance has a spiritual impact upon them. The

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

vicar has a spiritual impact upon them.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

Then the reading of the Quran that tilava It has

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

an effect on them.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

Then Tawakkol there is a dependence on the pot on Allah

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56

subhanho wa taala. And then there is pursuance of spiritual and

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

moral welfare, through the establishment of the prayer, the

00:02:00 --> 00:02:05

Salah, and there is a pursuance of social economic welfare through

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

infarct, or sadaqa was Osaka through charity.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:15

So we see here that believers are described as those constantly

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

conscious of Allah.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:22

And it is this kind of consciousness. That is the essence

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

of what we call excellence in the hola catabolic sang Allah cliche.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

Allah has prescribed excellence in everything we do, or goodness in

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

everything we do. And this is also further evident in the hadith of

00:02:35 --> 00:02:40

Rasul Allah Allah wa salam, where he defined the axon is endowed

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

with the luck and Nicotra final into Contura HuFa into who you

00:02:43 --> 00:02:48

are, York is worshipping Allah, Hassan is worshiping Allah, as if

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

you are witnessing him, for though you do not see him. He's ever

00:02:52 --> 00:02:58

observant of you. So here we see God consciousness, coupled with

00:02:58 --> 00:03:04

the practical expression of righteousness. The first point, if

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

of these six points in the description of what we call the

00:03:07 --> 00:03:13

true believers, is regarding in reference to the whole idea in the

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

notion of vicar

00:03:15 --> 00:03:20

and your vicar, remembrance of Allah. They are over 150

00:03:20 --> 00:03:25

references in the Quran, directly pertaining to the notion of vicar

00:03:25 --> 00:03:29

to remember Allah to mention Allah to invoke Allah to call upon

00:03:29 --> 00:03:35

Allah. The Quran in fact itself is referred to as a lickin in newness

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

Zelina liqueur. The Quran itself is called a vicar and furthermore

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

will occur the yes sir angle Quran Allah Vikram for helping him with

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

the Quran. We have made this Quran this reminder, an easy source of

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

remembrance, remembering Allah remembering your duty and your

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

responsibility.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:57

But even our prayer, it in itself is a manifestation of victory. As

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

Allah says, our claim is solid and the decree established prayer for

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

my for my remembrance.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

But in doing so, we also realize that though going through the

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

rituals of prayer,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:17

there is an important component that must be present. And that is

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

the remembrance of Allah. Because not remembering Allah in the

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

performance of your Ibadah undermines the very essence of

00:04:25 --> 00:04:29

their eBUY itself. And that's why it's almost deemed hypocritical.

00:04:29 --> 00:04:33

In Munna Filipina you hold your own hola hola. Whoa, hold your own

00:04:33 --> 00:04:38

way the Kamui la sala de como Salah Euro owners who Allah the

00:04:38 --> 00:04:43

Quran, Allah, Allah kalila those who are hypocritical, try to

00:04:43 --> 00:04:49

deceive the Almighty, but actually deceive themselves for when they

00:04:49 --> 00:04:54

stand to pray. They do so in order to be noticed by people. But

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

regarding the remembrance of Allah, they hardly remember him

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

much

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

Then there is a conditional statement also in the Quran

00:05:02 --> 00:05:07

regarding vicar. We Allah says fifth Rooney of Quran, remember

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

me, and I shall remember you.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

So when you speak of this remembrance in this dhikr Of

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

course, there are many forms, it doesn't have to be only in the

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

form of prayer, or only in the form of repeating the names of

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

Allah. Rather, we realize that there are many dimensions to the

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

Quran, to pronounce words, reflecting the attributes, the

00:05:28 --> 00:05:32

glory, the message, the message and the Majesty of Allah. It's a

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

form of vicar. And that's the color by the tongue, then to

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

understand and reflect on Allah's majesty, just by looking at the

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

creation in the Halacha sama allottee what are the what the

00:05:43 --> 00:05:48

laughing lady were not the ayat in the Bob Avena years Quran Allah,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

they look at the beauty, the sunset, the sunrise, the ocean,

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

the flowers, and they remember, is a creative behind this. That's a

00:05:55 --> 00:06:00

victory through the appreciation of creation. And both of these

00:06:00 --> 00:06:06

modes of remembrance are thicker, are desirable, and reinforce our

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

acknowledgement of the Divine.

00:06:08 --> 00:06:13

So on the one hand, conscious oral repetition and graves the words

00:06:13 --> 00:06:18

into our hearts, while understanding and reflecting upon

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

the creation of the Divine, brings us closer to appreciation of the

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

Divine.

00:06:24 --> 00:06:29

All forms of vicar help us to develop and reinforce our

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

relationship with our Creator. Modeling agility and Rumi put it

00:06:33 --> 00:06:38

very beautifully. He said frickley Kunta Awara he has a thicker hood.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:43

The secret Quinta Krieger that just said Vic Regatta, fifth grade

00:06:43 --> 00:06:49

to Bala Khaled. He said in a Persian, peace, meditate until you

00:06:49 --> 00:06:53

become free of thoughts of yourself. Because sometimes we're

00:06:53 --> 00:06:57

so engaged about ourselves, our business, we're not thinking we're

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

not focusing on the divine. So he says meditate until you become

00:07:01 --> 00:07:05

free of all thoughts, even of yourself. Remember Allah in such a

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

way that your entire being becomes thicker,

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

such thicker, that even your consciousness itself becomes

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

elevated.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

Three points for us for consideration here tonight. One,

00:07:21 --> 00:07:25

in today's troubled world, we are in see we are in search of what

00:07:25 --> 00:07:29

the Quran refers to. In fact certain times in the Quran, Allah

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

refer to the concept of it Milan,

00:07:32 --> 00:07:39

we are in search of Milan. What is it we learn comes? solidity,

00:07:39 --> 00:07:45

peacefulness, tranquility, a state of composure of balance of

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

equanimity,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:52

that feeling of security, of peace of mind, of being at ease with

00:07:52 --> 00:07:58

oneself, a state, which is so sought after, yet rarely

00:07:58 --> 00:08:03

experienced by us, in this day and age, that pleasant and that noble

00:08:03 --> 00:08:07

set with Milan, which is attained, the Quran says through the

00:08:07 --> 00:08:12

remembrance of Allah, Allah be the Karela de Tata in Newell, Kulu.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

Surely by the Grace of Allah, will you find the contentment of the

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

heart? Second point,

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

Maulana Rumi mentioned and suggested do not only make liquor

00:08:24 --> 00:08:28

be thicker, what is the imply, if people see you that assaulted a

00:08:28 --> 00:08:32

true believer, when people see him or her, they are reminded of

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

Allah, your truthfulness, your generosity, your love, your

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

compassion. So by looking at you that only you're making liquor,

00:08:40 --> 00:08:44

your very being can then be a source of remembrance, and a

00:08:44 --> 00:08:49

source of reminder of Allah. Your very presence can be a vicar and

00:08:49 --> 00:08:49

thirdly,

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

responding to the concern I mentioned about the one verse, the

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

competitive statement or we Allah says, for the good Rooney of good.

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

The question is, if Allah remembers me, when I remember him,

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

does he remember me when I don't remember him?

00:09:08 --> 00:09:12

This question was posed by two of the prophets that we dealt with

00:09:12 --> 00:09:17

Ali salaam, and to be an ISA, either he said, and Allah,

00:09:18 --> 00:09:22

according to some Hadith responded to them, when they express concern

00:09:22 --> 00:09:26

or Allah will remember you you remember us? What if we don't

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

remember you? Do you still remember us? Allah responded in

00:09:30 --> 00:09:36

Neela and Sammy and Sani for cave and Sammy of Qurani I don't forget

00:09:36 --> 00:09:40

those who forget me. How will I forget those who remember me?

00:09:41 --> 00:09:47

Subhan Allah, but hamdulillah whether Illa Allah, Allahu Akbar,

00:09:47 --> 00:09:52

Allahu La Quwata illa Billahi shukran salaam aleikum wa

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

rahmatullah.
