is not a weak statement. It's not a light statement that

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

even our bass says, And if let me, Anna Allahu Allah, and this, this,

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

this

00:00:16 --> 00:00:24

this sentiment, or this meaning is not alone in LA for me, because we

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

go to later in the sutra and there's a very, very critical

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

verse. Very critical verse, we're actually studying it next term

00:00:32 --> 00:00:37

with the same meaning. And it's such a critical verse it says, is

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

integral crochet and Walker was sent to hip boo che and horse

00:00:41 --> 00:00:46

shadow loco. Wallah Alamo Antonietta Alamo. This is such a

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

critical verse it says, You might love a thing I sent to hippo che

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

and roll shadow look, you might love a thing. It's bad for you.

00:00:54 --> 00:01:00

You might hate a thing. It's good for you. Allah knows, and you

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

don't know. So ha Allah Our Lord, he cuts it straight from the

00:01:03 --> 00:01:09

beginning. I know you don't know. Maybe this is what if not better

00:01:09 --> 00:01:14

saying Elif, let me enter Allahu Allah, I, Allah knows best, I know

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

better than you. And this is what we're upon. This is why I sort of

00:01:17 --> 00:01:22

said Bacara. Besides that, it's constantly reminding us Allah

00:01:22 --> 00:01:27

knows, and we don't know why. Because the human being if he

00:01:27 --> 00:01:32

thinks his head is big, right, and he thinks he knows he's not going

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

to listen to advice, he needs to be reminded that he doesn't know

00:01:36 --> 00:01:41

and how gently Allah does it by reminding us through other than us

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

ourselves. Allah did not take the Sahaba and make examples of

00:01:45 --> 00:01:51

Sahaba. You see all the Sahaba are in utmost respect. You don't see

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

in the Sierra, except, like outsiders amongst the Muslims,

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

like guests coming from the Bedouin, or something. The Sahaba

00:02:00 --> 00:02:04

always respected. Allah doesn't use them as examples. No, he

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

doesn't make an example out of out of a Sahaba a bad example. He

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13

takes the old nations and makes them the example. This is an honor

00:02:13 --> 00:02:19

for us. This is imagine if the Sahaba were made examples, bad

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

examples. How would we respect them? We would say well, then the

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he didn't teach them? Well,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

if they're behaving like that. No. So this is an honor for us. So

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

this sort of said, Bacara is always reminding us Allah knows,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:37

you don't know. And then, as we're going to get to later on, after

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

the next app, all of the rules and the laws and true belief, as we're

00:02:41 --> 00:02:47

going to cover here, very soon. true belief is that which dictates

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

your actions. If your actions are dictated because of your

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

intellect, then you believe in yourself. That's your source of

00:02:54 --> 00:02:59

belief. If your actions are dictated by a verse and Hadith,

00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

then your Lord has Allah, whoever, whoever dictates your action,

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

that's true worship. Because as we're gonna see, the hypocrites

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

talk a lot. They talk a very good game about their belief. They

00:03:10 --> 00:03:15

don't act on it. Right? They act on their own wins. So this is some

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

of the, again, very important theme of students of Bukhara,

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

Allah knows, we don't know. And he's about to tell us what to do

00:03:23 --> 00:03:27

True worship is that we accept someone to come and tell us do

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

this, and don't do this. And this is why if you look at the Moses,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

what are the 10 commandments? I mean, what the central piece of

00:03:35 --> 00:03:42

Moses, peace be upon him is commandments, not stories not know

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

you shall not do this. You should not do this. You shall do this.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

Whoever does it. He's a true believer. Whoever doesn't do it.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

His Eman is weak or is a monastic or is a Catholic. All right.
