Rob banner of free of Aileen sabara what's our final mini Subhanallah standout verse from today's recitation. The potion by Imam Sahib hafley. The Hola.
The people have Musa
as they were patient
through the oppression and persecution of the pharaoh of Iran.
Rob bene of rehiring Oh our Lord opened the floodgates
of patients Subhanallah this is what they say. A free rally in meaning open the floodgates of patience upon us.
Don't grant us patience, but open the floodgates of patience, whatever fun and meaning and take us to you as believers
in Allah subhanho wa Taala never ever make us forget our brothers and sisters in Gaza. I mean, and the Rohingya, Amin and the oppressed of Kashmir, I mean, and the oppressed all over the world. I mean, indeed it is from Amen. never to forget my Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam.
Tonight is the eighth night.
And that means an entire week from the month of Ramadan has passed Subhanallah I just remember a few days ago I said a 10th of the month has passed you remember that felt like just day before yesterday I said this SubhanAllah. But that was when three nights and three days passed us. We've already doubled that number. Seven Nights and seven days has passed us and before we know it, we will be welcoming the 21st night of Ramadan.
The 10 best nights of the entire year. May Allah accept what has passed and Forgive our mistakes there in and bless what remains and make this our best Ramadan ever. And may Allah not make this our last Ramadan. May he preserve us in His obedience. And grant us many many more Ramadan's. Whilst we are upon good health and the good state of email me. Tonight we completed Surah two RF. And we had happy that I can recite for us the final verses in which there was a Sajida. We prostrate it, that was the end of surah Allah are off. And we began Surah Al FF. And
as we began the recitation this evening, everything I told you about yesterday when we discuss the introduction of surah.
Allah have applied. And remember we said there were 14 stories in Surah, two are off. And the theme of our of, and Allah knows best was in three phrases, you know, now act,
and don't doubt. And we see this present in the verses that we recited this evening, and not just the verses, meaning outside of the stories that were revealed, but also the stories that were revealed because Allah mentioned to us the most prominent of messengers, and the truth that they came with, and the attitude with their followers towards them, and how Allah dealt with them swiftly and justice, they end is mentioned to us in the Quran. It's preserved in history. And Allah tells us to travel the lands, to the places that they once lived, and see what Allah subhanho wa Taala did with them.
And then Allah subhanho wa Taala takes us into the longest story of the surah the story of Musa alayhis, salam, and around and in particular, Musa alayhis salam and his people and what we discussed about Balu Israel on the first and second night and predominantly the second night of Ramadan, when we discuss the verses of Surah Baqarah Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed those details to us
will be it in a different form of eloquence Subhanallah as someone who might say, but if it was mentioned in Bukhara Why do we have it in a lot of remember the Quran was revealed over a period of 23 and a half years. And we said Bacara was from the Medini. Soros was revealed after migration, and LRF was revealed before migration. And maybe around Allah knows best, definitely the latter part of the Prophetic Mission. But there were Muslims with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam in Medina, that were not present in Makkah. And let's not forget, the Quran is coming down circumstantially as well. And the Muslims now in Medina, were surrounded by tribes of Jews. Tribes have been to Israel,
and they presented their own challenges to Medina, the Muslim city, Allah subhanho wa Taala reveals verses as a lesson to those who didn't know, and a reminder to those who knew. And for those who knew, these were not verses that they would read and feel that it is something repetitive, rather, it's something they will read and feel inspired and empowered by Subhan Allah, such as the nature of the Quran, we said yesterday at the beginning of Surah talara Allah set
the platform and that the surah is a Surah confirming the other MK investors and the message of the Quran in totality, that the truth is something that stands by itself, and Allah reveals Valeria confy sadaqa Hara Jimin huli today, Ravi, where the Quran meaning after the disjointed letters, he said this is a book revealed to you oh Mohamed, so Let there not be in your heart distressed from the meanings of the verses that we are revealing to you that you may want thereby, as a reminder to the believers Vicara a little more meaning Yes, no doubt that this believers are receiving the messages of the Quran. But the Quran is also a reminder for the believers, a reminder for the
believers remember what we said, you know, now act and don't doubt in case you doubting he is the reminder, don't doubt Subhan Allah and the idea of Torquil and placing your trust in Allah grows upon us, as the verses have an era of grow upon us as well. Now
part and parcel of the lessons of a lot of and as we said, there's these mountains, that Allah subhanho wa Taala reveals to us in a lot of these obstacles between us, and complete submission to Allah, Allah will between us and complete trust in Allah subhanho wa Taala between us and believe in Allah without any doubts, and we refer to them as these obstacles as these mountains and Allah subhanho wa taala, he highlights for us all these obstacles, all these different mountains that we need to be aware of. And I said to you that we can summarize them in nine in nine parts. The first mountain and obstacle, no doubt has to be the obstacle of arrogance. And this is huge in the story
of Musa alayhis salam and his people. And we discussed this on the second night that they were with him.
With the platform of arrogance, this is who Byrne was right.
When he gave them when they asked and he asked Allah and they got what did they do? They debated. They argued, they were not satisfied. When Allah said them, or when Allah gave them a blessed land to enter. They said, You go and you and your Lord go, we are here. When Allah gave them the Torah, they we don't want to take the Torah. But then when they were threatened, then they took it. They were arrogant people. arrogance or servant of Allah is a dangerous trait. And not only does Allah teach us this, in the story of Musa but he teaches us this in the first story of a lot of the story of Iblees and Adam Alayhis Salam, our Father, for Allah honored Adam, with the prostration of honor
by the angels, but they will all commanded to Bliss included and the bliss didn't. And when Allah asked him, Why did you not prostrate? What was his answer? And he roomin simply a statement of arrogance. I am better than him. I'm better than him.
I made of superior substances.
This is a weak creation.
And remember, for those who don't know, the scholars of Tafseer mentioned that the police had everything going for him
that there is not a place on earth except that he believes worshipped Allah subhanho wa Taala upon it.
And this is why Allah honored the bliss to have
My presence with the angels in the heavens.
But then he bliss manifested this arrogance in front of his Lord. And what happened? That arrogance destined him to be from those who are doomed. In eternity. His place is the hellfire. And the only reason why he exists is not because Allah honored him to exist is because he asked permission from Allah. And literally ILA you will meet you but as soon as we had to have you there could recite last night, Carla in a communal memory. He says, Oh Allah, preserve me until the day of judgment, because I will be on a mission to show you I'm superior than this creation of yours to show you that I am writing you wrong. La hawla wala Quwata illa villa, ultimate arrogance, to the Lord of the Worlds.
Allah is perfect from ever, and is perfect forever. He says in the communal member, if done, you will be from the preserved until the day of piano, you won't die until that day, go do what you want to do. But no one understand that those who follow you from this creation, let a Mullah Anna Jahannam, I will fill Jahannam with you, your kind and they kind of humoring without any exception.
So Americans are servants of Allah. It is a dangerous trait to have the way you deny the truth, even though you know it to be the truth. And when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to the Sahaba that no one will enter Paradise, if they have a mustard seeds worth of arrogance in their heart. They said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that yeah rasool Allah, but some of us we like to have smart clothes. We like to dress smart and present ourselves smartly. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, This is not what I'm talking about. But arrogance is Baatar will help or humbleness, butter, we'll help you know it to be the truth. But you act like you don't know.
And you argue with it.
You try and rise over the truth or something as you look down upon people. You have this attitude of I am better.
And that's why Jealousy is a very dangerous trait. It's connected to arrogance. And he believes was arrogant because he was jealous. And jealousy is different to
HIPAA.
HIPAA is not sinful. When you wish you had something that Allah gave somebody else. But you don't wish that Allah takes it away from them has said and jealousy is when you wish you had something somebody has. And you hate that they have it. You want Allah to take it away from them. This is hassad and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that in Al Hasakah curule has come at a cultural hub, that indeed jealousy eats away your good deeds, just as fire eats away firewood. And this was known to the Sahaba they would burn fire using logs, they would see what happens to the firewood. And this in Bulava is known as three were the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam paints
an image in your head by running a parallel and what fire does to firewood. That's what has it does do good deeds that use you worship Allah, you tire yourself, you wake up the night, you fast the Mondays, you fast the Thursdays you give in charity, but you don't fix that in your heart.
And as you're working, something else is working against you. There's an opposite force. That's meeting your force. And an equilibrium is being reached. You're not moving forward, you're not growing from your labor.
It's a labor of love you love Allah, you waking up, you staying away from your food and drink whilst others eat and asleep. But you have that in your heart. May Allah forgive us. And may Allah help us, we have to work on it. My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, especially in this day and age with the dunya is shoved down our throats and the corporate sphere. What will make you understand how the corporate sphere is progress at any expense, even if it means taking the honor and credit of somebody else's work.
And then, because of the nature of that sphere, we feel difficult in our hearts to digest why someone else got the nod. And we didn't get the nod, why their name was called. And our name wasn't called why the quarter had better metrics, better readings than mine. And they KPIs were considered more successful than mine and so on and so forth. This is a corporate matter. So the matter of the believer, the believer celebrates the success of another believer, as if it's their own success, and mourns the loss of another believer, as if it's their own loss. So Allah subhanho wa Taala spells for us this mountain in total out of arrogance, jealousy Subhanallah and he bleeds thought he was
higher. But Allah subhana Hua to Allah. What did he say? Because of his arrogance, Allah said in Nikka Manasa
hearin Allah said descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant there in so get out Indeed you are from the debased the belittled Subhanallah that a person through his arrogance wants to beat himself up or herself up, wants to walk in the stratosphere when his opposed to walk with their feet on the ground, but to Allah subhanho wa taala, then nothing high, there everything low Subhanallah he believes wanted height. And Allah said to him, to him, You are from the debased arrogance of servants of Allah is not only part of two stories, it is the recurring theme in surah. Two out of when our Imams were reading Subhanallah I had in the Larina in the Arabic Allah yester
could be ruler and rebated right at the end of Surah, two out of half evacuees reading this and I'm thinking Subhanallah the first story is a story of arrogance. And the last verse in the Quran in surah surah in the Quran, Indeed, those who are near to Allah to your Lord, are not prevented by arrogance. Subhan Allah, the end of the story, the end of the surah is tied to the beginning of this war. The first story of the surah on the second page literally is the story of arrogance. And the last verse of the surah Allah says Allah, you're stuck with the ruiner and the Rebbe that he they are not known with any quality of arrogance, those who are close to Allah, those who are near to
your Lord. They are not prevented by arrogance and Allah is teaching us Yeah, that arrogance prevents you, it locks you out. Allah says what do they do? You Sabir una they glorify Allah, Allah who yes you do. They prostrate they take the highest, most honorable part of their body and they place it on the lowest part known to them and that is the ground for who for Subhana Allah Allah, the One who is free from defects was the elevated the most high to Han Allah, the people of Eman and those who are humble. They take the most honorable part to them their forehead. Today we give people our forehead to kiss right is the most honorable part of our body. They take the most honorable part
of the body and they put it on the lowest part known to them the ground for the sake of who the highest of the high Suhana
I introduce you to the Quran. I am amazed as you are so Pamela Zuckerberg said half a decade for reading that very eloquently today.
Not only Subhan Allah is it at the end. But we saw this in the middle of right in the middle. Allah subhanho wa Taala say Sausalito and Tia levena Yet a cup Varuna fill out of the behavioral Huck Subhanallah Allah says I will turn away from the arrogant My signs and My guidance to hon Allah in the middle of the Surah, the beginning of the surah story of arrogance, the middle of the surah Allah telling you that these verses we are revealing will not reach the people who are against Allah will tell you tell me, even if they hear it, Allah will turn it away, don't enter the hearts and at the end of the surah Allah tells us about those who are near to Allah, we are near to him because
they are free of arrogance. One of the main reasons is they have no arrogance, a recurring theme, the biggest obstacle is arrogance. Again, may Allah subhanahu atta Allah save us America's number two, having good thoughts about Shavon Allah mentions this as the second obstacle preventing us from Allah and total guidance, believing in some capacity that she upon doesn't intend to color, color chi upon intends you and He intends you and no one but you know, sometimes when a lecture is being given, we listen to the lecture and what the Habibie saying applies to us. But we sit and think Subhanallah I wish that brother was here to listen to this.
We do that sometimes right Subhanallah as if the Habib is talking to the person behind you, or the person to your right to your left, as if Shavon doesn't intend to you as if you are free from the plot and plan of Chopin, as if you're currently involved in chimpanzee Daily Execution when he wakes up and he looks at his daily timetable. Your name doesn't exist,
or servant of Allah shaytan intends you just like the Angel of Death intends.
If you know you're going to die, then you know the Angel of Death intends you as a police How can we reset the foot to four adekola Yeah, and we'll factor but then he would just make us sad to left with a drunken man who do I see the King? Allah Ya saw he until only two under Subhanallah he says the Angel of Death calls you a calling of truth Allah Yasaka Yemeni Sahibi Oh my companion and tell only do unto you I intend to you know one but you that's according by the angel of death as the Angel of Death intends you shape Huntington's us well, do you think Shavon wants to lose when he's arrogant to his challenge this challenge between him and Allah
Do you think he wants to lose when he has this attitude that Allah has described to us in the Quran in surah? telera? Do you think an arrogant person takes loss easily? Do you think he's going to give up on you? Do you think he's going to wait after Ramadan for a split moment for you to carry on upon the guidance and righteousness that you develop? The Ramadan can lie, he's going to hit you at the first strike, that he can
cluster bombs.
He will hit you indiscriminately. Subhanallah
so this Allah tells us we're totally out of his from the obstacles between us and Allah. When you give shaitan the benefit of the doubt you do yourself a disservice. Allah says Wakasa Houma in Nila Kumar Lemina now see him, he went to our father and mother. And he said, I swear by Allah, indeed I am to you amongst the sincere advices this is what he did. If he did that to our parents, what about the children? Number three, the desires of the self and our private parts and the means towards them which is nakedness. This is an obstacle between you and righteousness between you and Allah. Allah says, Yeah, Benny Adam. Allah talks to the Children of Adam, the believers in the disbelievers
cadenza nearly calmly bellezza you worry so ethical Mauritia have recited this last night, we have best out upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. Allah says, when he best with Toccoa Delica Hi. But the clothing of righteousness that is the best righteousness. A person who has Iman cannot expose that which are which Iman wants you to come.
And that is a means towards lewd activities and immorality. And that is a big obstacle between us and Allah subhanho wa Taala obstacle number four, following your elders and cultures blindly. The elders said, it's our culture. When the children want to get married, we put the country in front of this and when we have our Eid gatherings, we put the culture in front of the Sunnah. We spent the whole month asking Allah except our month except our month except our month and then the day of Eid which is a day of celebration, the Habib stands and says, Oh you who believe fear Allah once fear Allah twice, fear Allah thrice.
Why?
Because you're about to go home and go against the Sunnah and put your culture in front. If you went against the Sunnah, knowing that it's wrong what I'm doing, that's a different matter. But when you go against the Sunnah, believing, No, there's nothing wrong.
When you hike, the Mahara when the Prophet said, facilitate the marriages of your children, but it's because of your culture, and what will the people say if they know I got my daughter married for this Maha?
What will the people say? What are the people think? What will the people what will the people Oh servant of Allah and shall divide them What will your Lord say? And what will your Lord think? Does that not matter?
Are you a seasonal believer? When it suits you I'm a believer when it doesn't suit you. Make dua
make dua
it's like they say, after Juma you tell the brother Brother next week we'll review for Juma and stuff it Allah of course, the whole our La Quwata illa biLlah. Of course I'll be here Saturday with my brother. Well as you for Salah to Lhasa just now in a couple hours it make dua, sha Allah
insha Allah. Allah says God at Hulu Fumina adhaalath Mina, public communal Jean Nouvel NCF Enoch, Allah tells us about this, they follow the elders, the elders went into the hellfire, the people who followed them followed, Allah says, Allah says Enter among nations and this is this is what will happen on the day of pm Allah will say to those who followed the elders in misguidance into among the nations which had passed on before you from jinn and mankind into the fire. Allah says every time a nation enters it, it will curse its sister. It will curse the sister, you know the elders, it will curse the elders, you know, the cone shape will curse the founders of that culture. Why?
Because they will say it's this culture and it's these elders here Allah who led me to be here.
So talara highlights this twice. Obstacle number five, immoral and corrupt environments. Allah says, well, Bella to pay you boo, yah hoo. Now bear to be grumpy. Well let the caboose Allah. Allah Nikita, Allah says, and the good land is vegetation emerges by the permission of its lord, but that which is bad, nothing emerges except sparsely and with difficulty. Thus do we diversify the science for the people who are grateful? Allah is talking about lands, let's call it after CMC. This applies across the spectrum of life. When the land is pure. The fruits are fresh and ripe and pure. The harvest is abundant. When the system is pure, when the governance is pure, when the mind is pure,
when the heart is pure, the harvest is pure. The harvest is abundant as well. This is how you deduce what Allah reveals to you
As a matter and you deduce it onto another matter, such as the richness and elegance of the Quran, and obviously you do this through looking at the verses before it in the verses after it to understand context. And it is said once Allah knows how true it is, I came across the story. There was a sharp Muslim child in a university, and he had an atheist professor. And the atheists said to this Muslim, that the Muslims claim that the Quran has the answers to everything. So the Muslim student said the Muslims don't claim Allah said that in the Quran.
Allah says in the Quran, that the Quran has answers to everything. So he had a bald head and he said explain to me the reason for my bald head and the student recited he said yes, there's a verse about this well better to people yeah who never to be the grumpy
he said when when when the earth is fertile.
Obviously he was referring to his heart the fact that you can ask this question means there's a infertile hot day so nothing questions like this rotten questions like this come when the land is in fight to have a loving Mustang. Okay, you get the picture. Obstacle number six, impatience and hastiness.
As we seen the story of Musa called the Musa they call me history, you know, Billa he was Spiro Musa said these people they were complaining, oh, Vina macabre and Tatiana Amin by the magic Musa before you came we were being persecuted after you came with being persecuted, nothing's changed.
This is being acting in haste. No doubt the persecution of Iran was long. No doubt. And that's why he said the people of Gaza they're slowing up Surah Al Imran they're sewing up the story of Musa and Farah. They you know, when you see them, and why are they still carrying on? Why are these still patient? Why are they still accepting? Because they understand the stories more than una. They know the intricate details, the timelines, the length of the persecution, and what they said to the people. They don't want in any capacity to resemble these people who act in haste and complain. They said to Musa history and will be here but they complain to Musa Musa said to them seek assistance
from Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah, these lands belong to Allah, Allah causes who he wills to inherit from it when he wills. His servants will get it when the time is right. And the best outcome is for the righteous. So Allah's plan, trust Allah's plan. Be patient, you just have a pixel, Allah has the picture. Every day you patient, Allah gives you a pixel, and another pixel and another pixel, the more pixels you capture, now you can start seeing the picture. But if you just have a pixel and you try to understand the picture, you will understand a million things and it's got nothing to do with what the picture actually is. You cause yourself undue
stress, be patient collect the pixels. This is what Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us about the scope we have to ponder don't read these stories or storytime think what's going on here. Subhan Allah Allah is revealing to us an obstacle between us and him being impatient, obstacle number seven, leaving being an adversity against evil.
You stop doing that. You stop doing that. What's the point of doing that our callers the situation is what it is is long gone. That's it Subhanallah we heard today in the tarawih with call it Amma to minimum it's like Allah is talking to our Subhan Allah. Allah is talking to us. Subhan Allah is the Quran he's talking to us. Honestly, these verses you think Subhanallah it's as if they're being revealed now.
Allah says in his book with God at ALMA, two men whom limitary Dona Coleman Illa, whom have Liko home Oh, more of the boomers have been shady that when a community amongst them said, Why are you doing that hour and warning a people who are about to receive Allah's punishment, the punishment is coming, there's no hope. There's no point in giving them now it's done. What did they say? Called Lou that to add the people who are doing the DA They said my Avira attorney Eli, Robbie, Kumada and Lomita cone. He says we're going to carry on doing it to be absorbed before Allah to be absorbed before Allah. And that way we can we may remain from those who fear Allah or the retin will have an
excuse with Allah. They Allah we carried on the punishment came but we carried on we never stopped. Yes, you just want them to be punished but you never told us to stop doing the Dow and in area tarawih is we read what led to the downfall of Benwick throw in the garlic canula tahona among cafardo as our Imams recited half Hamdulillah I believe that they they stopped warning against evil and then a time came where they started practicing the evil themselves. When you want against it the sensitivity when you stop wanting again it against it, the sensitivity decreases and decreases and decreases until you practice it like it's nothing.
after Ramadan, you might see a sister without hijab, and you'll feel strange Subhanallah
it happens I remember when I first went to study in Saudi Arabia The first year we are
knew the university. It's all males, students, admin, all males and I remember now nine months later we traveled home I got onto a flight and the air hostess so I felt uncomfortable. Nine months just seeing brothers Subhanallah you lose your sensitivity meathead goes higher, right? But then what happens as you the flight carries on the sensitivity meter goes down that it becomes normal. So this is what happens when you leave the hour this is an obstacle leaving the hour is an obstacle between you and Allah.

He slowly went from 100 to zero he
peeled himself away. And when she upon saw that, he took his opportunity and pursued him.
And at the end of that pursuance he became from the deviates, Allah says, well Oceana had we will, we could have elevated him thereby thereby by the knowledge we gave him. If you practice it, we would have raised him, we would have preserved him, we would have improved him, but he became a victim of time. Let the ill out. He became a victim of the life of this world of worlds followed him that temporary consumed him.

heedless, obstacle number nine not contemplating the events of life properly, Allah says Oh, Allah Miyata, Kuru mervi sahibi Manjinder then do they not give thought there is in their companion Mohamed no madness he is not particularly on contemplate life oh seven Sofala So, this what I've shared with you online obstacles. I'm going to run through very quickly the nine antidotes that we see in total are of no evidence is I'm just going to give it to you. Number one, do and do are using Allah's names and attributes. One of the verses in the Quran there's four verses in the Quran and I discussed this in the sisters program this afternoon. that tell us about Allah's names being
beautiful. Well, Allah He'll smell will First Nephi there will be one of them is in surah, two out of Allah says this is the prescription remember the prescription to to the disease, the solution to the obstacle number one, making dua to Allah and how using his names and attributes and not just dua to Allah using his names and attributes but worshipping him using his names and attributes when you stand up in Salah you stand up knowing Allah sees me when you recite Allah hears me when you make dua you call out to Allah using the names connected to what you need, you want forgiveness or the one who forgives forgiven me, you unless you're the owner of mercy have mercy on me, you want
sustenance or the one who sustains give me a sustenance. This is number one, the prescription and solution number one, number two, a class and at the highest form. When I say a class at the highest form, I mean, you live your life and build it up to a level when no one has ownership of you except your Lord. No one controls you accept them. You don't speak except for him. You don't move except for him. You don't remain silent except for him. You don't sit except for him. You grow your life to that level. You turn your needle in terms of you and your sincerity up
and to a stage where no one has ownership of you except your Lord Subhanallah we see this in either number 188 OF SWORDS out of Kula am liquid enough's enough and voila, Barranquilla, masha Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said number three, the third prescription good character and we said this is big in the mud converses people might say how come not converse
As you said, is for Allah to establish Tawheed that makes sense is for Allah to establish the messenger being from Allah that makes sense is for Allah to establish life after death. That makes sense. It's for Allah to establish the Quran from Allah. That makes sense. But then chef you said, from the themes of the makan verses is good character, good character Shouldn't that be made any later on no good character is fundamentally important. Why? Because each and every one of you here you carry a portion of the legacy of the greatest messenger that woke the face of this earth. There is no prophet after him, you are his workers, you are the preprint you preserve his legacy. If your
character is incorrect, then people will not take what you have to say. If I give you a pure bottle of water, but the containers dirty, and I promise you the water inside is from this from the Alps. Subhanallah but just by me a virtue of the bottle being dirty when you drink it when you believe me, you will doubt me. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. People see you before they hear you. If they don't like what they see, they will not give you time for that which you want them to hear. Remember this My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, good character is an obstacle between you. A good good character is an antidote to the obstacles that prevent us from our Lord and

They left all the the muhajir who left their wealth in Makkah and the college took it and for the first time they had some wealth. What do we do with this?
