I want to be you know Maulana Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi
Marine. We continue our theme Layali Temkin and third well heck
Mohammed Al Quran Al Karim nights of empowerment, farewells and
wisdom from the Glorious Quran.
In an informative explanatory verse, which you heard tonight at
the beginning of Surah, Anfal, Allah describes qualities of a
believer.
And he says in the middle
to Kerala, which he looked cooler boom, were either too late early
to who's the Imana
behemoth of a cologne and Lavina Ukri Munna Salah AMI Mara zakenna
home Yong Hoon. Believers indeed are those who and Allah is
mentioned, feel a vibration in their hearts. And when they hear
the verses of Allah being recited, they find the faith strengthened.
And they put the trust in Allah. They are those who established
prayer and are generous with that which Allah has provided for them.
Here the Quran makes reference to the sign of true believers. We
know the haka.
And he includes six key points. He says, They are those who remember
Allah. And that remembrance has a spiritual impact upon them. The
vicar has a spiritual impact upon them.
Then the reading of the Quran that tilava It has
an effect on them.
Then Tawakkol there is a dependence on the pot on Allah
subhanho wa taala. And then there is pursuance of spiritual and
moral welfare, through the establishment of the prayer, the
Salah, and there is a pursuance of social economic welfare through
infarct, or sadaqa was Osaka through charity.
So we see here that believers are described as those constantly
conscious of Allah.
And it is this kind of consciousness. That is the essence
of what we call excellence in the hola catabolic sang Allah cliche.
Allah has prescribed excellence in everything we do, or goodness in
everything we do. And this is also further evident in the hadith of
Rasul Allah Allah wa salam, where he defined the axon is endowed
with the luck and Nicotra final into Contura HuFa into who you
are, York is worshipping Allah, Hassan is worshiping Allah, as if
you are witnessing him, for though you do not see him. He's ever
observant of you. So here we see God consciousness, coupled with
the practical expression of righteousness. The first point, if
of these six points in the description of what we call the
true believers, is regarding in reference to the whole idea in the
notion of vicar
and your vicar, remembrance of Allah. They are over 150
references in the Quran, directly pertaining to the notion of vicar
to remember Allah to mention Allah to invoke Allah to call upon
Allah. The Quran in fact itself is referred to as a lickin in newness
Zelina liqueur. The Quran itself is called a vicar and furthermore
will occur the yes sir angle Quran Allah Vikram for helping him with
the Quran. We have made this Quran this reminder, an easy source of
remembrance, remembering Allah remembering your duty and your
responsibility.
But even our prayer, it in itself is a manifestation of victory. As
Allah says, our claim is solid and the decree established prayer for
my for my remembrance.
But in doing so, we also realize that though going through the
rituals of prayer,
there is an important component that must be present. And that is
the remembrance of Allah. Because not remembering Allah in the
performance of your Ibadah undermines the very essence of
their eBUY itself. And that's why it's almost deemed hypocritical.
In Munna Filipina you hold your own hola hola. Whoa, hold your own
way the Kamui la sala de como Salah Euro owners who Allah the
Quran, Allah, Allah kalila those who are hypocritical, try to
deceive the Almighty, but actually deceive themselves for when they
stand to pray. They do so in order to be noticed by people. But
regarding the remembrance of Allah, they hardly remember him
much
Then there is a conditional statement also in the Quran
regarding vicar. We Allah says fifth Rooney of Quran, remember
me, and I shall remember you.
So when you speak of this remembrance in this dhikr Of
course, there are many forms, it doesn't have to be only in the
form of prayer, or only in the form of repeating the names of
Allah. Rather, we realize that there are many dimensions to the
Quran, to pronounce words, reflecting the attributes, the
glory, the message, the message and the Majesty of Allah. It's a
form of vicar. And that's the color by the tongue, then to
understand and reflect on Allah's majesty, just by looking at the
creation in the Halacha sama allottee what are the what the
laughing lady were not the ayat in the Bob Avena years Quran Allah,
they look at the beauty, the sunset, the sunrise, the ocean,
the flowers, and they remember, is a creative behind this. That's a
victory through the appreciation of creation. And both of these
modes of remembrance are thicker, are desirable, and reinforce our
acknowledgement of the Divine.
So on the one hand, conscious oral repetition and graves the words
into our hearts, while understanding and reflecting upon
the creation of the Divine, brings us closer to appreciation of the
Divine.
All forms of vicar help us to develop and reinforce our
relationship with our Creator. Modeling agility and Rumi put it
very beautifully. He said frickley Kunta Awara he has a thicker hood.
The secret Quinta Krieger that just said Vic Regatta, fifth grade
to Bala Khaled. He said in a Persian, peace, meditate until you
become free of thoughts of yourself. Because sometimes we're
so engaged about ourselves, our business, we're not thinking we're
not focusing on the divine. So he says meditate until you become
free of all thoughts, even of yourself. Remember Allah in such a
way that your entire being becomes thicker,
such thicker, that even your consciousness itself becomes
elevated.
Three points for us for consideration here tonight. One,
in today's troubled world, we are in see we are in search of what
the Quran refers to. In fact certain times in the Quran, Allah
refer to the concept of it Milan,
we are in search of Milan. What is it we learn comes? solidity,
peacefulness, tranquility, a state of composure of balance of
equanimity,
that feeling of security, of peace of mind, of being at ease with
oneself, a state, which is so sought after, yet rarely
experienced by us, in this day and age, that pleasant and that noble
set with Milan, which is attained, the Quran says through the
remembrance of Allah, Allah be the Karela de Tata in Newell, Kulu.
Surely by the Grace of Allah, will you find the contentment of the
heart? Second point,
Maulana Rumi mentioned and suggested do not only make liquor
be thicker, what is the imply, if people see you that assaulted a
true believer, when people see him or her, they are reminded of
Allah, your truthfulness, your generosity, your love, your
compassion. So by looking at you that only you're making liquor,
your very being can then be a source of remembrance, and a
source of reminder of Allah. Your very presence can be a vicar and
thirdly,
responding to the concern I mentioned about the one verse, the
competitive statement or we Allah says, for the good Rooney of good.
The question is, if Allah remembers me, when I remember him,
does he remember me when I don't remember him?
This question was posed by two of the prophets that we dealt with
Ali salaam, and to be an ISA, either he said, and Allah,
according to some Hadith responded to them, when they express concern
or Allah will remember you you remember us? What if we don't
remember you? Do you still remember us? Allah responded in
Neela and Sammy and Sani for cave and Sammy of Qurani I don't forget
those who forget me. How will I forget those who remember me?
Subhan Allah, but hamdulillah whether Illa Allah, Allahu Akbar,
Allahu La Quwata illa Billahi shukran salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah.
