00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			The Quraysh
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			in the time of the prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			were after Abu Bakr Radiallahu Anhu.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			They wanted Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu to crack.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			They wanted to come to Abu Bakr with
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			something,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			some news, some information
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			that would make him recant monotheism
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			and his belief in Muhammad
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			So one day they thought they had that
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			news and that information.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			So they came to Abu Bakr
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			and said,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			do you know that your companion is saying
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			he went to Jerusalem and then to the
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			heavens in 1 night?
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			And they were so sure
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			that this was it.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			This was the news
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			that would make Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu crack.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			Abu Bakr radiAllahu
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			responded after hearing this information and did not
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			meet the prophet Muhammad
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			yet.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			So he had no idea
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			if this was true or not.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			So he responded and said,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			He said, if the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			wa sallam said it,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			then it is true.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			They were shocked.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			They were shocked that they were not able
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			to get Abu Bakr
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			with this amazing news.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			Just to put into perspective,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			we're not talking about
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			a time where space shuttles go into space.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			A time where
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			we can send
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			satellites
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			up into the sky and beyond the sky.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			We're talking about a time where the best
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			form of transport
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			was
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			a camel
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			or a horse.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			And this claim at that time
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			was something that was
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			considered to be
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			astonishing.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			Manifested his certainty,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			his faith
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			in Allah and his messenger.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			And so Bakr bin Adillah al Muzani
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			who's a tabi'i,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			a scholar of the 1st century and then
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			died in the early 2nd century,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			a who was a student of Ibn Abbas
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			and
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			This Tabiri
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			who met many of the sahaba
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			was saying to everyone that Abu Bakr radiAllahu
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			anhu
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			did not become a forerunner,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			did not go ahead of all of you
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			because he had a lot of fasting
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			or a lot of salah, a lot of
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			prayers.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			He only became a forerunner or went ahead
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			of you
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			because of something that was inculcated
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			in his heart.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			And before we talk about
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			what was that thing in his heart,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			We don't want anyone to misunderstand
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:31
			that
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			here
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			is saying that Abu Bakr Radiallahu Anhu was
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			not making salah or that someone can come
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			and now think, oh, I don't have to
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			make a dhor because Abu Bakr, he he
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			didn't
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			do I don't have to fast in Ramadan.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			That's not what
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			means.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			Abu Bakr did
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			do all his fault.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			And he was a forerunner
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			in all the and
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			the optional fasting, and the optional
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			prayers as well.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			One day, the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			sallam was with his companions.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			And he said, which one of you are
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			fasting today?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			Oh, Bakr was the only one who said,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:16
			I am.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			And then the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			which one of you followed a,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			a funeral?
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu was the only one
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			who said, I did.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			Then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, which
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			one of you fed a poor person?
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			Abu Bakr was the only one who said,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:40
			I did.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			And then the prophet
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			said, which one of you visited
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			a sick person?
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			Ubaka Radiallahu anhu said, I did.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			And this was in the early part of
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			the day that this happened.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			And the early part of the day Abu
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			Bakr radiallahu anhu already
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			had done this many good deeds.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			And then the prophet said,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			that these are not combined in a person
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			on the same day except
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			that they will enter paradise.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			So, yeah, we can't misunderstand
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			that Abu Bakr did not do a lot
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			of salah
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			or a lot of fasting
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			as we see this hadith. He was a
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			forerunner in the optional deeds.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			But what is meant here
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			is that
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:38
			whatever
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			extra deeds that Abu Bakr radhiallahu anhu
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			did do,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			he did it with something that was inculcated
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			in his heart
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			such that it weighed much more
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			than if someone else were to do a
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			lot of salah and a lot of fasting
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			and they did not have that quality
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			in their hearts,
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			or that degree
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			of that quality in their hearts.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			And that is
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			the thing that was inculcated in his heart
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			was his sincerity,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			his certainty,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			his faith
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			such that if he made 2 rakah of
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			salah,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			and if the whole
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			made 2 rakah
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			of salah,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			the quality of our
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			of the 2 rakah
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			would be greater than the whole,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			every single individual put together. Can you imagine
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:42
			that?
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:51
			Said,
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			said
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			that if the iman of Abu Bakr, the
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			faith of Abu Bakr were to be weighed
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			And compared to the faith of all of
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			people put together,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			the iman of Abu Bakr would be would
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			outweigh that, would be heavier.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			So we see this amazing
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			and certainty,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			which caused his deeds to be valued more.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			So how can we acquire
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			or increase
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			our certainty?
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			Comes in degrees.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			How can we increase how we obtain? We
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			all have
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			because we're Muslims. But how can we make
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:36
			it stronger?
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			Allah gives us
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			the method.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			He mentions in the
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			So this man passes by and he looks
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			at the town and he says,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			how can Allah ever bring this town to
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			life? People have left the town. It's abandoned.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			It's in it's in ruins.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			How can anyone bring this? How can Allah
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			bring this town back to life?
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			So Allah
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			caused him to die
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			for 100 years.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			Then he raised him.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			Then he made him look at himself.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			He thought he was gone for a day
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			or 2, but then was told he was
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			gone for a 100 years.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			Then Allah told him,
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			look at your
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			look at your food and your.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			It hasn't changed.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			Look at your food and drink. It hasn't
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:57
			changed.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			Look at your donkey
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			that is now being reformed.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			The flesh is going on the bones and
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			then right in front of you, your donkey
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			that was ruined is now being
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			built again.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			And at the end he says,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			He says, now I know
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:16
			that Allah
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			is able over all things.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			But what's interesting here is the man doubted
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			that the town could come back to life.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			Allah could have said
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			or could have done,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			he could have made the town come back
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			to life by allowing people to come in
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			and make it
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			bustling and full of life and say, look,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			the town can come back to life. But
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			Allah did not do that.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			He made the person himself die for a
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			100 years
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			and then rise.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			So the person was able to see the
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			signs of Allah's ability within himself.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			And then Allah pointed him to his surroundings.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			Look at your donkey.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			Look at the food and the drink that's
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			been there for 100 years that hasn't changed.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			Look at that donkey that's coming back to
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:08
			life.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			So the message that we have here is
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			if we want to increase our
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			sometimes you wanna look everywhere, how can we
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			increase our
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			our certainty,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			our conviction.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			The method that that Allah is telling us
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			here is you don't have to look far,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			just
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			look at yourself.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			So Allah made this person die and made
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			him rise and made him a sign for
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			himself and a sign for ourselves.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			So the method that Allah is telling us
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			is look at our bodies
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			and look at our surroundings
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			like he was told to look at the
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			food, the drink, and the donkey around him.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			And this is the message that Allah mentions
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			in the Quran.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			That on the earth there are signs for
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			those who are certain.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			Allah is telling us to look at our
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:00
			surroundings,
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			to increase our certainty.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			And then there are signs within ourselves,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			do we not see?
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			It's interesting that Allah said, do we not
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			see? Because this is empirical data.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			The signs within ourselves,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			our nervous system,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			our digestive system,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:27
			our respiratory system, our excretory system,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			on a molecular level, on a quantum level,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			the unseen
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			aspects of our bodies.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			We are bodies that walk, that are filled
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40
			with signs that will allow us if we
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:40
			analyze
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			and study,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			will allow us to increase our certainty.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			And then if we look at our surroundings,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			our geography,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			the topography,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			the plant life,
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			the celestial objects,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			we can only come to one conclusion,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			and that will increase our certainty and conviction,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			and that is
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			Allah is the only one worthy of worship.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			And so the poet said,
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			That in everything, there is a sign
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			that points to one fact
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			that Allah is the only one worthy of
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			worship.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			So a believer is someone who's constantly engaged
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			in increasing his certainty, his.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			A believer is one
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			who has conviction and certainty and doesn't get
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			thrown off.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:34
			And
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			because of one thick ruling that he or
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			she doesn't understand and say, oh, I have
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			to now doubt Islam because this thick ruling
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:42
			doesn't seem
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			legit to me.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			But a believer like Abu Bakr radhiallahu anhu
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			that if Allah and His messenger
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			revealed that, legislated that, it's the truth, it's
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:54
			just.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			That level of certainty
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			is the character of a believer.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			When a believer is then at peace,
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			has serenity because of this
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			certainty.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			And doubt, which is the absence of this
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:11
			certainty,
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			causes the person
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			to waiver,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			to live
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			a life of hesitation,
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			to have anxiety,
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			and a host of mental
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			and emotional problems.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			And so the believer takes this certainty
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			and applies it in all acts of worship,
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			and this is why the prophet Muhammad
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			alaihi wasallam said,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			When you make dua, when you supplicate to
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:44
			Allah,
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			do it in a state
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			where you are certain
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			of the response.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			So as believers, certainty,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			which comes through knowledge
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			and analyzing the signs that Allah has given
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:00
			us
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			is a character
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			of our lives.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			Said, if I were to see paradise
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			and the hellfire
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			with my own two eyes,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			it would not increase me in certainty.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			Imagine that?
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			Imagine
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			if we were to see angels,
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			if we got a glimpse of paradise and
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			hellfire, how much our
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			would increase?
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04
			Ali
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			was saying that I would see the unseen.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			It would not increase my certainty
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			because
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			I saw
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			paradise in the * fire through
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			the eyes of the messenger of Allah
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			When Allah said about him,
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			that his eyes did not wander
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			nor did his eyes overreach
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			when Allah took him up to the heavens
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			to see the wonders.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			So for Ali Radiallahu,
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			the Quran
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:41
			was enough
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			as a premise to build yaqeen and certainty.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			The words of the prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			wasalam, if he said he saw paradise, that's
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			enough. I don't have to see it for
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:52
			myself.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			That's enough of a premise for me
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			to build my
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:58
			conviction
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:00
			in the unseen.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			And so my dear brothers and sisters, for
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			us to remove doubts,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			the Quran is the go to
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			book
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			to remove doubts, and that's why it begins
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			by saying
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			This is the book where there is no
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:17
			doubt.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			Not only it is a book that where
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			there is no doubt, but it is a
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			doubt remover.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			So if we want stronger
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			and we complain about weak man and not
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			having strong,
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			the more we are attached with the Quran,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			the stronger our certainty will be will be.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			For many reasons, and I'll give you a
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			few today in in
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			while I
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			close. The first is that the Quran
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			repels Shayatin, and that's why Shayatin is called
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			the shaitan is called.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			Alright. Means
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			someone who comes and hides, comes and hides,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			comes and hides. Why is shaitan constantly hiding?
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			Because every time the Quran is recited, shaitan
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			goes and hides.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			Doubts come from that source, which is shaitan.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08
			So if you're reciting the book of Allah
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			a lot, you're decreasing the influence of shaitan,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			your doubts will decrease, which means your certainty
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			will increase.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			So when you're reciting the Quran, shaitan will
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			flee. When you're making,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			remembering Allah, shaitan will flee. When the adhan
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			is recited, the prophet
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			Muhammad said that shaitan runs.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			So the book of Allah 1 repels shaitan.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			Number 2, the book of Allah deals with
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:35
			all
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			the arguments of doubt.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			The book of Allah comes with logical
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			arguments that refute
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			the statements
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			that cause doubt,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:48
			the shubuhat,
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			Specifically, Surah Al An'am,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			the 6th chapter
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			of the Quran.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			If you get a chance
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			to read it in-depth, read it tafsir. There
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			are amazing statements
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			which repel
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			doubts about divinity,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			the message,
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:09
			prophethood,
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			the hereafter
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			in a very simple
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			way.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			Where people were asking why weren't angels send
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			it as messengers, Allah refutes that.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			Where people have arguments
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			for polytheism, Allah refutes that. All of that
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			in that one surah. So the more we
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			attach the book of Allah,
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:31
			the greater
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			our certainty and will be. And the greater
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			our certainty will be every
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			you make, the
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			you make now, if it's with greater certainty,
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			it will weigh more
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			on the day of judgment.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			So it makes sense if we're spending time
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			to make Turaka here, recite Quran.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			Let us make it let us make it
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			weigh more
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			on the day of judgment
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			so we can have greater rewards. I ask
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			Allah to increase our yokeen
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			in him, in his book, and in his
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			messenger,
