And I really appreciate you giving me your time. I'm sure there's so
many other things you could be doing right now. So many other
things
you could
be doing but 100 Shala. We're going to be reading now continuing
from the text that we've been reading from Imam ibn Abi dunya
which really is about creating the capacity for good assumptions. One
of the goals of
a post
or decolonizing the colonnaded theology is to remove the cynicism
which is an outcome of
a lot of things that we'll talk about in the future.
But let's just read Hadith bill, isn't it to say no Mohamed Salah
Larissa.
And for those of you who haven't attended before, feel free to ask
any questions from the law pertaining to the topic. And then
I encourage you to watch the previous ones where we layer sort
of the intersection between theology, sociology, as well as
history.
kind of help us understand Islam's approach on the issues of Why do
bad things happen.
So this hadith is from Abdullah hidden Ahmed, not us.
And then there'll be a Salah while he was selama teller
cola Ibrahima and easterner to CERAM.
Nas Perla so Abdullah even onward mouse
said that the Prophet said I love what he was telling me. He recited
the following verse while he comes around to UK, my shoulder
this verse from salty Ibrahim, after all the below machete
regime, or I'll be in Hoonah Abdullah Naka, Thea Romina Nursey
for honey, honey, so and then the Annie for in a woman the woman
Asani so in NACA of our four Oh, rain.
And also he mentioned, let me translate the verse saying that
you Brahimi he made this dua, he said, Oh my lord, indeed, many of
these idols are going to lead countless numbers of people
astray. So whoever follows me is from me, and whoever disobeyed me
mean Ibrahim, that indeed you are the forgiving the linear but
Uganda Mashallah.
Well, hi there isa de he sat down, and then the process and he
mentioned this verse from the Quran from soulmate either in two
of the above and for in the homeopathic or Intel fear level
and for in NECA antis easel, and hacking.
So the prophesy said I'm actually he was making he was like, sitting
down and the son Abdullah Ivanov of maths, he heard the prophesy
son reciting these verses. The first verses from solta Ibrahim,
were saying Abraham says Robbie in Hoonah Aldana Kathy Ramana Ness
from unto the only for in the womb in the woman Asante for in Mecca
for the rain,
he brought him out he said salatu salam, he says indeed these idols
will lead countless numbers of people astray. Whoever follows me
as from me, Whoever disobeys me then you are the Forgiving, the
Merciful. The second verse that the Prophet recited so long as I
appreciate all these hearts while you guys are just really giving me
nice affirmations I really appreciate that Mashallah. And the
second verse is from soulmate you
were saying that isa says into Aviva home, if you punish him, If
you punish them for in no matter how bad they are, your service
will interfere law home and if you forgive them, then indeed, indica
Antal icwsm al Hakim, the new are the mighty the wise, after the
Prophet sallallahu addition, listen to this. Listen to this.
After the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I read these two
verses from artists that Allah when he was a llama, Allah Houma,
almighty Almighty, oh, God, these two verses. It's touching on one
of the core beliefs we have in Islam, that Allah subhanaw taala
can punish who he wants and he can forgive who he wants and this is
not in so the prophesy said I'm when he read these verses. The
first thing he said was ALLAH Houma, almighty, Almighty, Allah,
Allah.
O Allah, my OMA while back here, and then he began to cry
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he began to weep.
The cat, if you speak out of me, is when somebody cries, you can
hear their voice, you can hear them. Bokeh is it's like in their
chest.
This is the difference between FatCat and Obama, by the way,
Ferber cat saw a lot of money went early, he was happy with
Farrakhan Allahu Allah, Allah subhanaw taala said Yeah, Gibreel
is heavy either Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa salam.
The last month Allah He came in and said no Gibreel at that moment
to go to say no so Salah la hottie was Salama first Edo who may you
kick and ask him
what is upsetting you? Oh Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. Here we learn a
lesson. If Allah subhanaw taala is concerned about the psychological
and emotional state of his
Beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam should we not also offer
mental health services and counseling and other things to
Muslims who may be having, you know some things that are
emotionally bothering them.
Even though the Prophet said Allah I said and this is something
that's just making him sad, but still Still we see Allah subhanaw
taala Anna, he since seen as your real ally, he slapped us around to
reinforce him. So Allah what He was said um, and to show him this
care, should we also not show this care to our fellow Subhanallah
brothers and sisters?
PALOMA Yuki K and Mohamed Salah liason
the Prophet SAW Allah when he went out he he was happy with Salam
he mentioned everything that he had received in and what happens
and then Allah subhanaw taala said yeah Gibreel either have either
Mohamed in Florida in sir No sir Norrell de keffi automatic one in
us look. Yeah Hola. So the process and he was weeping in Alaska,
Montana come in and say Nigeria to go to him and ask him what is
wrong with you? And he mentioned it he said that to them his his
love for you and me. His concern for us as his community and what
will happen to us in the Hereafter. And Allah subhanahu wa
Tada he commended Gibreel to say to him Yeah, Mohamed Salah Allah
while he was in San Diego feel magic, indeed we are going to make
you happy when it comes to the state and condition of your
followers in the hereafter. Salah lo hottie he was salam
and we will not make you upset. Salah la hottie awesome this
hadith mashallah is related by Imam Muslim Hadees number 327.
So he was what a beautiful Hadith that the process son was worried
about what will happen to us in the hereafter? Allah subhanaw
taala placates him and tells him Don't worry, don't worry in sha
Allah. We're going to make you happy when it comes to your Salah
What are you ready he was happy he was
the next hadith is mentioned Masha Allah from Imam even Abby dunya.
From
one of the early Muslims from one of the companions of the prophet
who said Allah O Hala who Elana ve Mohammed in Salallahu, salam to
Hebrew and Elijah Allah, Allah Almighty ki lake called a la Rob,
antihero, lo. Allah subhanaw taala sent to the Prophet are some he
revealed to him Do you want us to leave the affair of your ummah to
you?
And he said, No, Ya Allah I would rather it be you who handle this
affair, the affair of the Ummah in the hereafter my community. Oh
hello who Zoa JELA II then learn or zuka fee? Allah subhanaw taala
said okay, if that's the case, then well Allah He you will not we
will not upset you regarding what will happen to the Muslims of
hamdulillah in the hereafter. Subhan Allah Subhana Allah Subhan
Allah
the next narration is from say that
Qatada okay potatoes, the Student Center Initiative ematic who can
tell us from the people mentioned in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim
pada a record on an old Wilkie era Lana and Olivia Salalah whiting
Sonoma pada. He said it was mentioned that the Prophet SAW
Allah when he was Saddam, he said lo Yeah, I'm on Abdu Qaddafi
matter well Rockman haram Allahu Akbar, Allah him and this is a
beautiful Hadith but it's meant to give us some centering and some
balance between fear and hope. Because fear and hope are like two
wings on a bird and Imam, Mohamed Al Ghazali.
And I teach this at my school this this book, when agile Aberdeen in
his book when agile Aberdeen he says that one of the integral
qualities of somebody who is trying to live a life of faith and
adherence, the personal trainer that is going to help them is fear
and hope.
Like sometimes we need fear, sometimes we need hope. What am I
teachers used to say ill health while Raja that we attorney are
the meta? That fear and hope are like two really important
medicines that you know, you have to take the right medicine at the
right time. So maybe if I'm feeling depressed if
I'm feeling sad. If I'm feeling hopeless, hopeless than I need the
antibiotic of hope. If I'm feeling lazy and laxed and I'm slipping in
my Deen, then I need to perhaps treat that with an antibiotic of
fear. So that balance listen to this narration.
The Prophet SAW Allah when he was set up I said lo Yeah, LM l Abdu
cut rough we learn he matter while Raja min haram. If a person really
understood
the
transcendent transcendence of Allah subhanaw taala is
forgiveness, then they will never be careful in their Deen.
Like if somebody were really able to truly fathom the greatness of
Allah's Rama than they would like they would never be scrupulous in
their religion. Because they would get lost in Allah's Rama
what Oh, yeah.
Oh, cool, but he, the Baja innocent.
And if somebody were able to truly understand the
depth of Allah's punishment, then they will, they will never let
their soul do anything. See, see, like the balance.
See the balance that the prophet is talking about some of our
hearts. He was happy with salah.
And sometimes why is it that we don't have hope in Allah, because
we don't have hope in ourself. And maybe people have been like
negative reinforcements in our lives. Maybe throughout our life,
we have been told things about ourselves that are very demeaning,
that are very debilitating. And so we begin to actually believe what
we hear.
So it's also one of the keys to having hope and Allah subhanaw
taala is learning to love yourself
and learning to care for yourself, not in a way that leads to
narcissism, of course or selfishness, but in a way that
allows you to be someone who has a healthy sense of self value, to
the extent that you can protect yourself from being mistreated.
That's very important.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said, Lo Yeah, and
then when Abdur Rafi Allah He Tada toward Allah, I mean, how long? If
somebody really knew and truly encompassed the Mercy of Allah
subhanaw taala they'll never be scrupulous in their Deen while Oh,
yeah, then cut the Quadra. Oh Bertie, Nova Annissa. And if the
person were able to encompass the tremendous punishment of Allah in
the Hereafter, then they will never relax. So here's the
balance.
Subhan Allah Subhan Allah Spanner the next generation
from Oh, I don't even have to you they're
pada pada Abdullah Abdullah. That's his father.
Who said lay off urine Allah who is Zoa gel layout Yama, Mel
Fearrington lair to help Tarara kabhi Basha Allahu Akbar.
He said, that there will be such an incredible forgiveness and
pardon by Allah subhanho wa taala. In the hereafter, the likes of
which hearts cannot imagine.
Like that will be such an emancipation and forgiveness of on
Yom Okayama, for the meaning for the believers, that it's
impossible for you to imagine
the reform of Allah subhanho wa Taala
the next narration and this book hosts Novan Vela from Satan that
you might even be doing yet on our way he is not a hamdulillah
commandment of now.
Even Abdullah he who said something so
nice and I just mentioned it actually Subhanallah somehow I
just mentioned it.
Today hamdulillah is the 24th and tonight actually, we're reading
from SOTL. So Mark many of us, which is the 39th chapter of the
Quran, you need to listen to this Subhanallah and if you have an
opportunity, when we finished today, you can
you can go and check it out for yourself. Each and every one of us
needs to have our own relationship with the Quran. Right?
Go to the 39th chapter of the Quran verse 53.
You know this verse the Prophet sallallahu sallam said about his
verse. This is one of the most beloved things in dunya
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
chapter 39, verse 53
And subhanAllah you know,
this verse, If you really, like you should memorize it. You should
keep it with you. You should say it when you feel upset, when you
feel down, when shaytaan tries to tell you or me that Allah will
never forgive us, or Allah, he was, should read this verse. You
know, this verse actually has to, there's two kinds of context to
why this verse was sent. The first was for people who have not yet
became Muslim.
And this happened to me, you know, when when I was young, and I
wanted to embrace Islam, I was scared, because I had done some
bad things, right.
Nothing crazy, but like, you know, enough to make me feel like I was
not eligible to be Muslim that I was unworthy of forgiveness. So I
sort of delayed my Islam. You know, because I was like, Man, I'm
not really the best person and I have a lot of work to do. And
Muslims, you know, Mashallah. They take their religion very
seriously. So, I was initially
inhibited by my own insecurities. Well, I, you know, insecurities
are a monster man. How many people have been kept from really
achieving what they could be because of their own insecurities,
right? That happens sometimes. So there was a group of people in the
time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who wanted to
embrace Islam. But they did not feel they were worthy of Islam,
because of the since they had done before there is now
and so they begin to be concerned. In fact, one man he sent the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
a message. And he said to him, I'm a person who has committed so much
evil and done so much sin. And he mentioned what he did like murder,
Zina, drinking alcohol, all of all of these kinds of things. And he
said, Yeah, Mohamed, will Allah forgive me?
And the Prophet system and another narration, the man he said the
narration of Imam Al Hakim with a good snag, he said, If you were to
take my sins
and all the sins of the people of Medina, my sins will be more than
theirs.
And then thank you show Loki Allah bless you.
And thanks for asking but verson and chaptered in so nice
Mashallah.
Look at the excitement to learn. So, when that man said that the
first king
what does that verse say? Say oh my servants,
who have exceeded against yourself in the s rifle with the noob other
unforeseen, you have sinned abundantly against yourself? LED
takana to Mira Mattila, you are forbidden to give up on Allah's
Rama? You know, subhanAllah we heard all our lives, drinking is
forbidden. Having relationships you know, physical relationships
are forbidden. So many things are forbidden. But Did anyone ever
tell us to believe even for one second, Allah will not forgive
you? He is permitted
to entertain in your heart, that you are unworthy of forgiveness
and redemption is forbidden.
Learn to connect to a woman Mattila. This last year law is
called Lamb and knee
which means it's not allowed. It's not allowed to
talk or not to.
to despair.
So you know what's really beautiful about this verse man?
Not only does it does it inspire us to have hope in Allah subhanaw
taala but if Allah is saying to you Abrar if Allah is saying to
you medic,
do not despair of My Mercy than what is inferred and that is you
should not despair of yourself and your potential.
As long as you turn back to Allah subhana wa Tada sincerely.
You're going to find him forgiving. So that's the beauty of
the verse. There's a duality.
That Allah's transcendent mercy is actually a promise of our
potential.
Let's talk on how to remember
Rama Tila
Subhanallah
takana Tomio Rahmatullah
and then the verse continues in Allah yellow funeral the Nova
Jamia, Allah forgives the sins. It could have just said in the La
Jolla funeral the Lord, Allah forgives the sins, but as
something Jemmy every single one of them
in who who Allah for Rahim Indeed, He Allah is the One who erases
mistakes. That's what lafora means. Golfer two, and
Kelly met at a Sephora, I erased the words on the on the
blackboard.
So Allah subhanaw taala is going to erase your sins.
And my sins, Rahim and still enter us into Jana, in sha Allah, and
still grant us his red one, even though we make mistakes, if we
truly repent, so that verse was sent initially, there is
the
initial
reason that I mentioned and the second reason
is for Muslims.
There were some Muslims who thought
I lost one thought I will not forgive them because of mistakes
they were made. So this verse came to 53rd Verse of the 39th Chapter,
which we are
reading tonight. Hamdulillah.
So Allah subhanaw taala is affirming your inherent worthiness
and your potential through the promise of his never ending
forgiveness.
And that's why Subhanallah when people beat you down, people need
to understand, sometimes it's not easy to hold on to the deen in
this situation. You know, it's not easy. Sometimes it's a lot of
stuff out here. The streets are wild man. And if you don't have a
community that supports you, or a family that is supporting you, or
there to help you, it can become very difficult. Or if like me,
when you embrace Islam and you're alone in the initial stages of
your Islam, it can be very difficult. So Allah subhanaw taala
in one verse is extending to us this incredible, beautiful
reinforcement of our own inherent self worth tied to
his forgiveness Subhanallah
SubhanAllah.
So this is what this next narration is going to say. And
this is from Mohammed even Soutine and everyone knows who Muhammad
ibn serinus is the book on dreams that he did not write do not buy
that book man had been serines book of dreams that man did not
write that book man. Stuff for Allah someone made a lot of money.
Someone made a lot of money off even Cerise named Mohammed
emissary was a great fucky and the great scholar of Hadith and his
daughter, Aisha bint even serene was one of the greatest early
scholars in Medina in the early time.
So from Sedna Mohammed ibn Surrey,
Karla cada ARIA he Sarah
and then he mentioned from Satana Adi on a Surah Al Philip Cora and
Elsa saying that he asked some people
he said to them which which verse of the Quran is most comprehensive
which verse of the Quran is most comprehensive? So they they
started to like argue and debate you know, some people and they
began to mention different verses.
They begin to mention different verses of the Quran, for example,
so Nisa Asada says, Many atma Su and l Yellville. M nessa who
Thornlie Estelle fibrillar Yejide la have a fall on Rahima whoever
does evil or wrongs their soul, then they repent, they will find
Allah forgiving merciful.
I will not be that IK or other verses like this for kata it or
the Allahu Taala and who man I feel or n.
That will settle on min. Kalia a barrier Latina Asafa and foresee
him la takana to Rahmatullah in De La Jolla. fildo. Virginia in no
one say that alley, he said
No.
He said there is no verse in the Quran, more comprehensive,
comprehensive than diverse. I just explained to you guys, the verses
says, Say verse 53, Chapter 39 Say, all my servants who have
wronged your souls by sending you are forbidden to despair of the
mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah subhanaw taala forgives the sins
all of them. Indeed Allah subhanaw taala is the Forgiver the merciful
Subhan Allah
Subhan Allah
the next generation
comes from Sedna delight now guess
what the Allahu anha who said in the Akbar is sinful or early?
He said that the greatest verse in the Quran
which
impacts hope,
which brings hope in Allah.
Is this verse, Paul? Yeah, a very young Latina, a sorrowful. Rafiu
foresee him talk on a tumor rock Mattila in Allah Hale. Phil's on
over Jimmy, in the Horn of Orion. Say all my servants who have gone
in excess
in sin, do not despair of the mercy of Allah, you are forbidden
to do that. Indeed, Allah forgives sins all of them. Indeed, He is
the Forgiving, the Merciful. So now, like after this moment,
because as we said earlier, sometimes our religious support
structures can be toxic, they can be toxic, and they can reinforce
our worst qualities. I tried to tell people, you know, when you
talk to your family, or you talk to your friends or your spouse,
you do not need to amplify their worst qualities. But you want to
try to motivate them and amplify the good qualities that they do.
Of course, there's a time and place to make
nahi Animoca. But that shouldn't be the default, because then
people begin to embody the negativity that they hear all the
time. It creates a sort of an ecosystem for them an echo
chamber, Lal X.
Look at the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, how when people
make mistakes, he's still able to Nyan nuance and find the good in
them.
So when that man he came into the messenger of the Prophet salallahu
Salam, and the people who came to the door is Sahih Bukhari and the
people they were in real cool. So that meant he made Roku in the
door. He was a new Muslim, he was so excited. So he made Roku raka
in the bed, he made Roku in the door, and then he walked like a
duck to the stuff
like this.
And afterwards, the people, they told the Prophet salallahu Salam,
that guy, you know, that guy, he, he did this. So the Prophet saw
some said, ain't no rocket, where's the person who made real
cool in the door?
And the guy who was kind of scared, you know,
he said, it was me.
Look at the prophesy. Son amplifies his good
and reduces his evil. He didn't say to him, why do you do that?
While he may conclude in the doorway? He didn't say that. He
said, Jozek Allahu Allah heartsick.
He said to him, may Allah reward you for your enthusiasm, because
his enthusiasm to do good is a good thing.
But sometimes we may translate our enthusiasm in the wrong way. You
understand?
So his enthusiasm to pray is something great. So the Prophet
amplifies that. He says to him, just like Allah who hide on Allah
hassock, may Allah reward you for your enthusiasm. But don't do
that. Again. There's the other part.
So look how he teaches him Salallahu Salam, as a positive
support structure in his life, and as someone that is going to help
him see
his good qualities
sallallahu alayhi wa attea he was happy with Salah.
So Subhanallah I'm delighted now bass, he said in the Echo, I
attend Phil Qurani. The biggest verse, the greatest verse in the
Quran that will cause the person to experience like happiness and
all those things, is this verse, verse 53, and chapter
39 which most of us we read tonight, if we pray tonight we I
heard it tonight hamdullah where I was praying 100
Now
from asthma event is eat
from Esma admin Tizzy And what's remarkable seen
hasna sorry Husna is that guy he did something wrong.
Right? But still the process some amplifies his good and teaches him
what's wrong with him now, people do good. And we amplify what we
think they did is wrong.
The HoloLens to the biller, is the opposite of how the prophet Ali he
stood out to a certain, engage with people. When people did bad,
he taught them but he would find something good that they had done.
And that good.
What he would amplify that good
to give them a sense of self worth.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sahbihi wa salam.
Now, unfortunately, because we are going through a lot as a
community, we've been traumatized. Even people who do good, we
amplify their bed, and we diminish their good. That's the opposite of
how the prophets how, think about those Arabs, how traumatized how
hard their lifes were, how they achieved so much, because the
prophets are *, he loved them. And love is from the same
word as seed had been hope. So the Prophet said, I love what he was
selama he grew them with love. That's what it means in Arabic,
have and hope to grow. You grow people with your love and you are
grown by love. You are blossomed by love. So the prophets are Allah
what He was sedima Can you hit boom, you hit home, they'll help
you speak Arabic is very nice if you think about what I'm saying.
So they that's what Allah says about the sahaba. In the 48 Verse,
They were like a seed that grew like I had, that grew because they
had the hope. And the hope is Muhammad Sallallahu it was salam
and Allah azza wa jal.
So that means that for us as a post colonial theology, as the
need for restorative teachings, we have to locate the centrality and
necessity of loving each other for the sake of Allah.
and locating love as a redemptive, restorative instrument
in the lives of Muslims,
swabbed the process, some said, You will not intergender to you
believe and you will not believe until you love each other
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and that's for the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said If you love someone tell them because again
you English you lose it. But in in Arabic had been hope, seed and
love. They go together if you understand first ha really well.
You can't separate the meaning.
Because when you love
you cause to grow. If it's healthy love
Subhanallah
next narration is from Esma Vinci is Eid, who see says,
I heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam reading the verse,
yeah, eBuddy and levena slough or other unforeseen Takara Tomy
Rahmatullah. I heard the Prophet read this verse. Do not despair of
Allah's mercy. So now, from this night onward.
If you feel you are defeated,
your family, your husband, your wife, your kids that you met
whoever around you, maybe is acting as a negative reinforcement
of people in the comments box, remind yourself that a takana to
me Rahmatullah takana to me Rahmatullah. Don't despair of
Allah's mercy. Don't despair of the last verse.
Shall as we finish the next narration is from Santa Ana
cinematic for the Allahu Allahu Allah. Allah Rasool Ullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said the prophesy semi said Allah your original Mortman Imani he
then one can murder your original care for your men. Kufri he said.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that a sin will not
take a Muslim from a man. It's the meaning of the Hadith and that a
sin will not take a believer out of Amen. That's why we shouldn't
make tech funerals.
each other. Well Allah He Subhanallah if people were as
passionate about people becoming Muslim, as they are with people
leaving Islam will be a lot better off.
If people were as passionate about people embracing Islam and
maintaining their Islam, as they were kicking people out of the
community,
we have compounded ignorance in our community.
And we go back to the earlier narration, the man makes a
mistake. The prophesy son amplifies his good, he corrects
his evil and he keeps stepping.
Now people will actually sometimes send me messages and say, I was
looking at somebody's Instagram page, and he or she has bad
pictures. Why are you what? Why are you stalking people on the
gram? That's the first question. Why are you spying on people? And
then like, what I like to ask them is did they do any good? Did they
do any good?
Is there any good they did? Yeah, you know, I don't Well, okay. Then
why don't you balance the equation Mr. Crinch person with the good
day didn't stop trolling people and, and like, you know, spying on
them unless there's no Quran or what it just says you're not
allowed to spy on the believers.
So this hadith is very important. We have to be careful of anyone
who makes the Muslims feel as though they're not Muslim anymore.
This is this is a I got Longhi is long the night tonight, if you
know what a log is. Yeah, which is not bad that way. It's long the
night tonight in New York.
The greatest invention in the history of clothing is the lunghi.
I'm just saying.
These are
the prophesy somebody said let you finish your walk. There are many
many them but
the prophets have said that
us sin will never take a believer out of Islam
commander you heard it all carefully. Roman Kufri he said
just like an act of good will not take a Kaffir out of his cover. If
he just believes he disbelieved.
That's right.
That's right. So this hadith we should be careful of those who
constantly making Muslims feel like they're Kfar. Muslims are
always asking me that makes shirk them. How could you make sure you
say Leila Allah Muhammad Rasool Allah, shirk has to be deliberate.
Should shirk has to habit there has to be intentionality
for harass, don't don't make the Muslims like this. That they lost
any hope. This is compounded ignorance.
The Next Generation Allahu Akbar, masha Allah bless you see, we got
some lunghi longer lovers out there. lunghi lovers Association.
I mean, it's not even gatekeeping they're destroying Islam. And
they're pushing Muslims away from Islam. They think that
as long as they're harsh, or as long as they're too loose, this is
gonna bring people to Allah. You have to be balanced. We have
certain things that are halal. You have certain things that are
haram, certain things that we believe we have certain things we
don't believe. Just keep stepping in your Longhi just step in the
name of the Lord with your lunghi.
The next narration from even Barreda This is sahih narration
from seeing the Imam even her bed.
We said that the Prophet sublicensed said hello Jannetty
Shona Warmia SFX
the province that I love whatever Ernie he was happy he was salam.
He said the people of paradise are going to be around 120 rows of
course this is her probably
a lot
it's not sure. How can the length be sherek
delaying salah is a sin was not Shake Shack is like apologia Hill
to worship idols.
Someone delays a Salah without having a legitimate reason. This
is sinful behavior that can repent
less Subhanallah listen to the Hadith which is called law you can
do what you normally want me in a min Imani. He doesn't want that as
soon as not going to take the most amount of Islam. This is one of
our foundational beliefs in theology. He Mamata Howe in his
famous alcaide
He says this very clearly, this fascination with who's not Muslim
is a fitna. This is the whole adage we're not we're not worried
about who's not Muslim. We're worried about other things
Subhanallah
listen to this hadith man, the process from said that in Jannah
there are going to be 120 rows means infinite number of rows.
So man when I mean her Almighty 80 of those rows are going to be my
Alma
sal Allahu Allahu Allah Subhana Allah Subhan Allah Subhana Allah.
Now
the next is a narration
of a story.
We have to we have to back up also we are in a place to judge right
non judgmental religion is that religion is no longer Islam and
Islam. So there are judgments in Islam like if I were to rob a
bank,
that's wrong. You have text in the Quran, let's say I'm wrong.
If I were not to pray,
you should tell me I'm wrong. But how do you tell me I'm wrong. So
we also have to be beard this is part of a colonial theology
because colonialism is a way of destroying traditional culture.
And one of the ways that you destroy Islam as you say there's
no judgments in the sun
there's 300 there's we have tests here called the Tafseer of
judgments three volumes, it's part of the Tafseer so very important
Tafseer genre so we want to be balanced here. Right? You know, we
have law right law is part of our religion. And we want to center
ourselves in the in these kinds of middle ethics, right? I know what
you meant, so I'm not I'm not trying to go ham on you. But we
have to have or go halal meat on your sorry, not him. So we want to
have a balance here. Want to have a balance here? Right we are
religion of rules. We are religion of laws. That's what the other
other almost they became lost. They gave up on law they gave up
on halau they gave up on we love Allah azza wa jal. We want to
please Allah subhanaw taala we want to obey Allah subhanaw taala
I want to follow God's law.
I want to as best I can, and I'm going to make mistakes
and that ask Allah to forgive me and my own my will, my community
will reinforce me and tell me Listen, you know, you have to you
have to do this. Wow. How could it be a sin to say hijab is an
obligation, this is agreed upon and the ummah of the Prophet
system. That hijab is an obligation women, they may
struggle to wear hijab, we need to be understanding and patient and
merciful, and they're still part of our community. hamdulillah
we're still one Oma. But we have to we have to balance the
centrality of faith and law with the wisdom and care of serving
each other. This is sort of where we seem to have sometimes
problems.
So we find Hamza Allah, in the Quran in the Hadith of the Prophet
salallahu Salam, this important balance this important balance
I need to hurry because I don't want to take too much time
mashallah my apologies we went over what my intended
my intended a lot of time was I apologize to you guys for taking
too much of your time. But the next narration Subhanallah so
nice. MashAllah brings out a lot of hope. Alhamdulillah and, you
know, it should make us feel like Masha Allah, masha Allah so nice.
The prophets Allah license at least Santa Fe let you there hate
la la, but there will not be for the people of la ilaha illallah in
the loneliness, or suffering in their graves, or when they are
resurrected.
So Allah What are you it? He was sahih Sana.
The last narration I wanted to read to you because like,
actually, actually, there's two more. The next narration is the
narration of one of the Salaf from even Abby dunya. And this book was
Novan Vela that we're reading with snad handling that
and this is from Sofia live not a Yuna, one of the great really
scholars
whose Hala he, he said that he met one of his teachers was very sick.
And so he felt like, you know, when he saw his teacher, he felt
moved. And his teacher, he recognized that, you know, maybe
my students see me like this.
He's becoming despondent.
So his teacher, he said to him,
you want to know whose situation is worse than mine?
Do you want to know, whose situation is worse than mine?
He said, Yeah.
He said exactly. He said Olivia one, your one. Now Allah azza wa
jal de outfielder level
the one who thinks that Allah subhanaw taala will not forgive
him panela
that person is like very sick man. He's on on his deathbed. He's very
ill.
So he said to his student, because he saw his suit student was
was struggling
to see his own teacher like this. So his teacher said to him, do you
know who's worse than this? Worse than me?
Oh, said the one who doesn't? The one who thinks Allah will not
forgive them.
From the believers from the people of la ilaha
the last one I want to finish tonight with is like so beautiful
man.
Lice, Pamela you know, sometimes you read something and it like
stays with you. Because it's so impactful. This is like I found
this really so
invigorating, and I found it
extremely inspiring.
You know, so I hope you find it as well like really meaningful. And
again, this is an interaction between a student and his teacher
from the seller from the early Muslims
and actually it's Soufiane ignore again again,
who says you know, I went out to meet one of my teachers
and when I came upon him I was in a difficult situation.
And his teacher he said to him up shoot for in Dhaka, Allah Hi.
He said to him,
be happy
because indeed, your um goodness, how do you forgive yourself? By
knowing that Alas, Fanta can forgive you in spite of yourself.
Maybe somebody doesn't forgive themselves, Allah still will
forgive them. Don't limit Allah's forgiveness with my limit.
Leave it to Allah, as we talked about earlier humbly. So if you
don't have confidence in yourself, have confidence in Allah subhanho
wa taala.
Have color have any fear?
But part of the ebb shear for indica allottee. You know, if you
think about this book we've been reading, right? Of course, there's
some moments where people, they're disciplining others, they're
centering others on
obeying Allah subhanaw taala, of course, staying away from the
haram. But have you noticed most of the time? Have you heard any of
them talk to each other? Like YouTube Muslims talk about their
fellow Muslims?
Did you hear any of them? Talk about each other, the way that
Muslims talk to each other on social media, any of these great
luminary Muslims? I mean, if you claim to be Salafi, shouldn't you
act like the CLF? If you claim to be Sufi, shouldn't you act like
the Sufis? If you claim to be an adherent, committed Muslim?
Shouldn't you act like the greatest generations of Muslims?
We haven't seen any of them hear abusing each other verbally or
attacking each other, or, or demeaning, a fellow Muslim. So
even when Sophia and Ignalina goes to his shake,
and complains to him about his situation,
what does he say to him? You're not any good? I'm sure be happy
for
you to know right?
Then he said
Mashallah.
Then he said to him, listen to this everybody is a temporary

Allah says the Prophet Muhammad salah, send the Sultan Muhammad

seek Allah's forgiveness and seek forgiveness for the believing men
and women.
So he said, there are those two R's that I told you have been made

should be happy. The Mullah Iike holding up the arch are praying
for you. Say no, no, he made that up for you. Satan Ibrahim may die

commanded the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa sahbihi wa

For an activity we have that shot love to Allah
Baraka love a few Gong, which is Kamala who Harun ask Allah
subhanaw taala and he also confirmed Allah because no one
Billa subhanaw taala
if someone has intention is to return to a sin, even though they
know it is wrong, can they ask Allah Subhana Allah for
forgiveness when they commit to sin or not? So of course we can
seek forgiveness
for a sin before we commit it. Because before we commit the sin,
we should not seek forgiveness, we should seek protection.
We should ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from the sin before
we do it. Our Lahoma more Caliban carova, Sabbath cobia arati Nick
