			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. They are all welcome
back to our first session in our short series as we studied together, the morals, manners and
etiquettes with the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala especially during the month of Al Quran. Now,
just before the break, we began discussing our very first moral and very first lesson and that was
the lesson of Allah class. And before moving on to our next point, I just want to mention to you a
very important Hadith that makes manifest the importance of having sincere sincerity and if last
When worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala through reading his book, Abu Huraira Ravi, Allah one
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:00
			narrates that the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the first man to be
judged on the Day of Resurrection is a man who learned knowledge and taught it as well as recite the
Quran.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:30
			He goes on to say that he will be brought forward and acquainted with his blessings. And Allah
subhanho wa Taala will ask him, do you recognize these blessings? And obviously he will say that,
yes, he will acknowledge it. He would be proud of the fact that he spent his years on this earth
with the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala learning from the bountiful and manifest lessons of the
Sharia as well as teaching it to others.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:47
			Only for Allah subhanho wa Taala to tell this person kept Subhan Allah only for Allah subhanho wa
Taala to tell this person you have lied. Why? Allah subhanahu wa taala would explain that you
learned
		
00:01:48 --> 00:02:36
			for the sole purpose of people calling you a scholar, and you recited the Quran for the sole purpose
of being termed a recite Subhanallah meaning that what you did was not for Allah subhanho wa Taala
but it was for name and fame. Subhanallah What a loss would a person be on the day of PM, if they
were to hear this from Allah subhanho wa Taala May Allah subhanahu wa taala protect us all. And it
doesn't end there. For in this hadith, which is found in Sahih Muslim, it states that Allah subhanho
wa Taala will command for this particular person to be dragged upon his face and flung into the
depths of Jannah May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all. So dear servants of Allah, and oh
		
00:02:36 --> 00:03:20
			Children of Adam, ensure that you become profound in terms of developing within yourself this
important aspect of a class it is extremely important, and I cannot speak to you enough to actually
cover all the points that make us understand how important it is to have a class. So remember, as we
said, just before the break, that there are two pillars for any act of worship to be accepted,
right, and worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala is done through reading the book of Allah subhanho wa
taala. Thus it is important that we have a class and that is the first pillar. And the second pillar
is that all acts of worship should be done, according to the teachings of Mohammed Abdullah Abdullah
		
00:03:20 --> 00:04:04
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So those are the two pillars, but the most important of them all for
this particular series, in terms of our manners with the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala is
purifying our intention and making our recitation and our time spent with Allah subhanho wa Taala is
book solely for him. The next model, and etiquette that I'd like to share with you all, during this
particular series, My Dear mothers, my dear fathers, my dear brothers and sisters, is the importance
of practicing upon the lessons found in the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. Yes, this is indeed
from the good manners with the book of Allah, Allah azza wa jal. It is important that when we spend
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:44
			time with the book of Allah subhanho wa taala, we learn the do's as well as the don'ts and it
doesn't end there. We make sure that we put into practice that which we have learned we are upon the
do's always and we ensure that we stay away from the don'ts we consider halal as halal, and we
consider Haram as haram our methodology with the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala is based upon
Submariner or Atlanta, we have heard and we will have a so this is from the good manners are
servants of Allah with the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. In fact, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam teaches us v punishment for a person that acts contradictory to the lessons found in the
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:59
			book of Allah subhanho wa Taala and we must do everything to stay away from the punishment of Allah
Allah azza wa jal so in the Sunnah we find the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explaining that
he saw in a dream, a man laying flat with another man
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:45
			behind him carrying a large boulder, and this man would strike his head with that boulder, and that
boulder would then roll away. And and as he would go to retrieve the boulder this man's head that
was smashed previously would come back to normal, only to be struck and smashed again. And the
process will continue until the day of piano Subhanallah and then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam went to explain that this is a person that Allah subhanho wa Taala taught the Quran, but he
would sleep from it at night and not applied during the day. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us
all from this punishment. And so this is a very important point that we ensure that we practice the
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:28
			lessons found in the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. Indeed, it is disrespectful to Allah subhanho
wa Taala over and above being disrespectful to the Quran, that Allah subhanho wa Taala commands us
towards something and we feel Allah who understand that we know better, and we act contradictory to
the Command of Allah publicity or general May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us on another
etiquette deal that I'd like to share with you all during our series is the importance of being
consistent and continuous with Allah subhanho wa Taala as book Al Quran, this is from the good
manners with Allah subhanho wa Taala his book in fact, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:07:13
			that a person that is continuous in the worship of Allah subhanho wa taala, then this act of worship
of this person, is actually more beloved to Allah subhanho wa Taala for the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said that from the most beloved extra Allah subhanho wa Taala is that act which is
consistent, even if it is a letter, or the one who have or income Subhanallah BL Allah at one Maha
or immortal that which is continuous, even if you recite three verses a day, but ensure that it is
every day, right? That a person who decides three verses everyday is better than a person who reads
an entire chapter once a week or once a month or once a year. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:56
			all because indeed, if we do not have a daily relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala as book then
only we stand to lose, our heart stands to lose our soul stands to lose and our relationship with
Allah subhanho wa Taala will become weaker and weaker with every day. So from the good manners is to
ensure that we are continuous and consistent. Even if it is a little bit ensure that it is something
that you put into practice every day being continuous with Allah subhanho wa Taala his book this is
from the fruits of having this good etiquette with Allah subhanho wa taala. His book is that the
lessons found in his book become consolidated, we are able to remember the instruction of Allah
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:44
			subhanho wa taala. And for those that are memorizing verses in the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala
we are actually able to strengthen our memorization to ensure that we do not forget those verses
that were memorized, able to remember robiola who and whom we put set the messenger of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, the example of the companion of the Quran is that of an owner of a
type camera. So a person has a camera, and they've tied this camera. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said, if he is vigilant over it, he will hold on to his camera, his camera will remain
with him, his camera will not ever become lost. However, if he releases it, if he leaves it at a
		
00:08:44 --> 00:09:27
			particular venue without tying it, then it will go away. So this hadith teaches us the importance of
being continuous with the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala continues with the lessons that we learn
from it continues with the verses that we have memorized from it as well for when we do so. It is
like a person who has a camera and has tied that camera the Quran will remain with us forever. Abu
Musa Ravi Allahu I reported that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said maintain the Quran for
by the one in whose hand is my soul. It goes more intensely than two camels from the hovels and this
hadith in Sahih al Bukhari and it's a pertinent Hadith especially for those that are trying to
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:59
			memorize the Quran and it happens the Quran is easy to memorize Subhanallah it's a blessing from
Allah subhanho wa taala. But when we fail to revise that which we have memorized it, it becomes
forgotten very quickly and that's why my advice to those that are memorizing the Quran I always tell
them that the difficult part is not in memorizing it. That's the difficult part. Many people when
they enter the Halacha are a madrasa and they intend to memorize the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala
it is difficult it requires
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:45
			Asians continuity going through every day. But I tell them that this is not difficult. The difficult
part will start after you complete memorizing it, that's what is more difficult. Why? Because now
you have the task of maintaining that memory until you meet Allah subhanho wa taala. For that is
from the complete good manners, morals and ethics with Allah subhanho wa Taala as book now, I want
to share with you a footnote, because somebody might ask, and this is common, and it has been asked
rather that when we memorize the Quran and we forget something, right, should we say I forgot what I
memorized? Or should we say I was made to forget that memorized? Right? So this is also from the
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:22
			good manners with the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala Subhanallah that our Sharia even teaches us
what to say. For example, if we memorize something and forgot that which we memorized. So, we find
for example, some of the dilemma like I know we implement now are we the famous chef theory,
scholar, he said that it is disliked this mcru disliked for one to say I forgot when they have
actually forgotten a verse that was previously memorized. Now, the reason for this is that in
context, sometimes the word NESEA, which is an Arabic word, at the end can mean forget.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			The word NESEA can also denote negligence.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:12:08
			In specific contexts, right? And language is contextual, a word can have a meaning, but in a
specific context, it can give out a different meaning. So remember, now what we say is that since
the word NESEA, in some contexts, denotes negligence with the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. And
this is from the bad practices with Allah subhanho wa Taala as book this is from the bad manners
with the Quran, then from the completeness of one's character with the Quran is that they shouldn't
say that I forgot they shouldn't use the word NESEA in the Arabic language, rather, they should say,
we'll see it or I was made to forget I was made to forget this is from the better practices with the
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:51
			book of Allah Allah azza wa jal. So this is just a footnote for one and all so that we can protect
our relationship with the book of Allah subhanho wa taala. Our time has come to the end for this
particular episode. So in summary, if we memorize something from Allah subhanahu Attalus book,
ensure that if we do forget it, we adopt this important character of not saying that I forgot it
rather we should say I was made to forget and ensure that we are continuous with the worship of
Allah subhanho wa taala. We are continuous with the recitation of the Quran, even if it is a little
with that we have come to the end of today's session. I love you all for the sake of Allah subhanho
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:57
