Sajid Ahmed Umar – Purification Of The Soul Series 02B – Who is the entirely successful one?

			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah early wasabi woman
wala My dear brothers and sisters, my dear mothers and fathers, Salaam Alaikum, wa Rahmatullahi wa
or brachetto I hope you've managed to revise the ayat that I shared with you earlier and understand
or ponder at least over its meanings and further understand how Allah subhanho wa Taala has focused
us on the neffs but not just any enough's, the truly successful knifes now what you might have
noticed, when you revise the if during the break is Allah subhanho wa Taala says, our fellow humans
		

			now what we must understand my dear brothers and sisters is there's nothing excess in the Quran.
Nothing is excess in the Quran, nothing is there by chance everything there has a mighty lesson for
mankind. Everything there has mighty guidance for mankind. Allah subhanho wa Taala didn't just say,
		

			God faza menza Allah subhanho wa Taala didn't say, God, Nadia menza. Right, and faza ledger have
means the successful one, the one that succeeds, this is the rough translation of these terms. Allah
subhanho wa Taala didn't use these terminologies rather, Allah said called the F Lucha, and I was
called as Allah here, I let him teach us that a flash is a universal term, a universal term that
encompasses all forms of that which is considered success. So it's not a portion of success. It's
not limited success. Rather, it's comprehensive, universal success. It is a term that encompasses
the meanings of any other word in the Arabic language that means success. This is fella or as we see
		

			in the eye of Allah. Allah says, for Africa, the entirely successful one, the truly successful one,
the one who is successful in every way and form completely successful from beginning till end is who
menza caha, the one who purifies his nefs, this gear to left, this is the series and remember we
discussing the importance of this topic, the importance of studying this topic, the importance of
making our awareness about it acute, at least right? This is where we act in terms of our
discussion. So Allah subhanho wa Taala, takes 11 outs, then after that says,
		

			The entirely successful one, and before that, Allah says, but right, which is a form of
		

			affirming something, and cementing the meaning in a far greater way. Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
indeed, the entirely successful one is the person who purifies himself or herself, so cannot be
allowed, purifies himself or herself from spiritual impurities, that which causes the heart to
become sick, spiritually second, yes, yes, the heart does become spiritually sick. May Allah protect
us from the physical sicknesses known, you know, which causes us or which requires us then to have
bypasses, and so on and so forth. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala protection from all this brothers
and sisters, but also the heart becomes ritualistic. And we're not really concerned about this, and
		

			the doctor of the spiritually sick heart or the aroma, right? And if only we understood this, we
would be attached to the RMR as we find ourselves attached to those doctors that can help the
physical state of the heart. Right inshallah we'll progress this particular discussion in further
episodes. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, indeed, they entirely successful one is the one who
purifies himself or herself with teaching us what brothers and sisters, that today our understanding
of financial standing or material well being being the yardstick to measure success is incorrect.
The certificates that we might have the qualifications that we might attain as a yardstick towards
		

			understanding success is incorrect.
		

			Allah is teaching us that your yardstick should be the level of purity that your self possesses, or
how well you've cleansed yourself. We Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us this understanding. So Allah
subhanho wa Taala comprehensively teaches us in these ayat, how important this topic is. And there
are countless, countless lessons from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but I'm choosing just
to share one because it's a mighty one. And I think we all agree that this one lesson suffices and
is enough. This brings us brothers and sisters to the next point of our discussion and that is, if
teskey A to nefs.
		

			is so important, then what is the ruling
		

			Regarding studying it, is it compulsory upon everybody to study this topic or the science because on
hamdulillah with the blessings of Allah, it is a documented science now, even though its
implications are practical, but in terms of it being documented what Allah inherited is, Allah has
never left us and attempted. So studying the science and studying matters pertaining to, you know,
purifying ourselves, is it compulsory upon everybody? And what do I mean by this? I mean by this,
that if we don't that we are individually sinful, Allah will question us on the day of karma, and we
will be taken to account for not studying it?
		

			Or is it something that is considered a general obligation or communal obligation? The scholars have
two views regarding this. The first view is that it is for the forebrain, meaning it's compulsory
upon every individual in the Sharia concentrates on the act, and concentrates on the person and not
the act concentrates on the person and not the act. Right. So it's not about the skeleton that's
existing, rather, it's about this gear to neffs existing with everybody and or, or to be more
precise, it's not about the knowledge of teskey existing in the community. Rather, it's about the
knowledge existing with everybody. Right? So the concentration is on the person, and not the aspect.
		

			This is why
		

			this is the first few of the scholars and from the scholars who held this view is a mammal has early
or too late. And he has evidence for this, and I'll share it with you just now. The second view is
that it's fun of keyfile faruque. Fire means the Sharia entails or intends the aspect and not the
person. So as long as the aspect exists in society, the obligation is lifted off the rest. So not
everybody needs to study the science and know the science. Rather, the science must be known to some
in the community, such as the scholars.
		

			And as a result, the burden of learning it or studying it is lifted off the rest. And when people
need it hamdulillah they have the scholars to guide them. This second view of it not being
compulsory upon everybody is the view of the majority of the scholars Rahmatullahi LA. So why does
		

			it say that everybody needs to study this particular topic. And if they don't, then they are
individually sinful? Well, he says rahimullah that, by default, we are carriers of those impurities
that cause us to be spiritually impure, and thus cause us to retrogress. Right and cause us to
become more distant from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And we will put here to challenge ourselves and
get closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And we can do that except with the knowledge of test gear,
and implementing test gear. So as a result, it's compulsory upon everybody.
		

			He says that his understanding regarding everybody having these impurities is derived from the fact
that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, had his chest open twice sallallahu alayhi wasallam and
his heart or chest washed with the water of zamzar. And he says that by this the impurities were
removed, and nobody enjoyed this blessing except Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam which means
by default, everybody else has these impurities. And our way or method of removing it is through
test here and test here cannot be correct unless you study the means of this gear is taught to us by
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So this is what he says Rahmatullah here and the majority of
		

			the scholars disagree. They say that look, by default, we don't have these impurities, but we are
prone towards getting these impurities. And only when we get it and it manifests itself Do we need
to purify ourselves so by default, we don't say that it's compulsory upon every individual to learn
test gear, and practice it by default, but rather when there's a need and then hamdulillah if they
have scholars in the community that have the knowledge and the method, then Alhamdulillah we have an
avenue to go to and learn that which is required to purify ourselves. This is evidence that us by
default do not have any impurities. The fact that Allah subhanho wa Taala said in his book, fifth
		

			Allah tala he Letty for NASA, Allah, they say Allah subhanho wa Taala teach teaches us that Allah
has created us upon a natural disposition, a pure disposition, a disposition of tawheed a
disposition that causes us by default to be attached to Allah subhanho wa Taala and understand that
Allah subhanho wa Taala is our job and our Creator. And they further say that we know that this
fitrah is pure because Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a narration that all the
children of Adam are born upon this
		

			Upon this natural disposition, teaching us that by default, this purity, but it's the environment
that pollutes It teaches us as well, that we are pure by default, but we have elements that are
prone to becoming impure with regards to Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wasallam, those elements
were removed. So this is the discussion. And as you can see, the difference of opinion is based on
this fact. Are we by default impure? Or are we by default born with the impurities that require
removal? Or are we by default born pure, but have a tendency towards attracting that which can
		

			cause us to become spiritually impure and cause us to have issues in terms of our obedience? The
correct opinion and Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best is the second one, that the study of test
kiya is for
		

			ki fi, right. It's a communal obligation as long as we have elements in the community that have
knowledge of this, then it is sufficient and they go about propagating and observing the dour and
teaching people of what to watch out for and teaching people how to purify themselves and correct
their heart and so on and so forth. Based upon the teachings of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam should they become spiritually sick? May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us from spiritual
sickness insha Allah insha Allah, in future episodes we will discuss the heart is many sicknesses of
the heart spiritual sicknesses. But perhaps if we have time, I'll share with you the three major
		

			sicknesses of the heart, as taught to us by the scholars parameter here. And now. For those who have
been listening attentively to the discussion, I have a question for you all. And that question is,
is it true or false? That learning the knowledge that helps us purify the soul is a communal
obligation and never an individual obligation? And I want you to focus on this point, and never an
individual obligation? Is it always a communal obligation? The answer to that question, obviously,
is false. Because by default, it's a communal obligation. But when a person knows that they've
become sick, the self has become polluted, jealousy does exist, backbiting does exist, ability to
		

			lie does exist, the nafs is in a state, which is not praiseworthy, when a person knows this, then in
that circumstance, the ruling changes, and now it becomes an individual obligation to come and
learn.
		

			Right, there's no excuse for having ignorance, right when we know that Allah has placed amidst our
society, those that can share with us from the inheritance of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam
that which will help us purify ourselves. So a person who understand that, you know, these
sicknesses have become manifested within himself or herself, and they leave themselves to be, they
will be sinful for that. So by default, it's a communal obligation, but when you know, you have
issues that require fixing it becomes an individual obligation, and you must go just like when you
physically sick, right? When you physically sick, you don't have to know how to kill yourself from
		

			the outset. But when you know you're sick, you must go to a doctor and learn and you must follow the
directives of the doctor, the medication that's given and not just choose which medication to take,
you've got to follow a direction as well as the dosage you cannot overdose you cannot under dose,
and so on and so forth. If a person does not follow the directives, and as a result, they become
more sick. And they didn't do so because they just chose to lack diligence and from a Sharia
perspective, they will be sinful as well. Right? So the discussion is very balanced, my dear
brothers and sisters so understand this In summary, from default,
		

			it's full of key fire to study the science, but it can become an individual obligation when a person
sees themselves manifesting signs of spiritual impurities we also had who Allah protect us all the
sha Allah when we
		

			come together again for our next episode, we will dive into the principles that help us attain
teskey I love you all for the sake of Allah. Until next time, Salaam Alaikum.
