00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			Muhammad
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			all the way from Malaysia.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			Everyone, let us know where you're at, you
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:37
			know, where you're
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			where you're watching from, inshallah. That's always extremely
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			exciting.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			And I see that Bee Karim, one of
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			our best, most amazing instructors at Swiss
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			is
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			in the house, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			First of all,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			ask Allah
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			to bless each and every one of you,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			Sha'a Allah.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Sha Town, Australia.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			Wow. Australia, I think is the farthest so
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			far we've seen. Nebraska. What's up, Nebraska? Jersey
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			City, right across the street.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Las Vegas, Nevada.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			The Shai.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:13
			From Kosovo.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			Masha'Allah,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. That's incredible, man. That
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			is absolutely incredible. The UK is in the
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			house.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			Alhamdulillah,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			first and foremost,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			a blessed
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:27
			Ramadan,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			Nigeria,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			Mashallah,
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			to everybody.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			Saudi Arabia, Al Mamlaka, Mashallah,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Al Hejaz, Alhamdulillah, Al Jazeera, Al
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Jaziratul Arabyya, Mashallah.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			A blessed Ramadan
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			to each and every one of you,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			Ask Allah
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			to
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			make this a month of transformation
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			for all of us
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			and a blessing.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			I wanted to share with you,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			some thoughts,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			from Surat Al Jumu'ah,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			because this is the day of Jumu'ah,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			Well, we just finished the day of Jumu'ah.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			And
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			this day
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			is a day that actually reminds us of
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			another gathering. So this is called Jumu'at suhra.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			And then when we meet Allah it
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			is called Jumu'at
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:22
			al Kubra.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			It's a great gathering.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			So the day of Jumu'ah actually is meant
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			to remind us of the hereafter.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			And just as Alhamdulillah,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			we gather together in nice clothing,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			and we have
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			the light in our faces.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			We will be reminded on the day when
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			we meet
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			under the
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			And this chapter actually
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			provides us what are called
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			The foundations
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			of this relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			that is necessary
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			for us to have the revival of Islam.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			We have to begin to think about Islam
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			as a revival,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			and the revival of the Muslim Ummah,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. This
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			is very important that Islam becomes
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			what motivates us,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			what pushes us, what we live for is
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			for Allah.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			And until we do that, insha'Allah, we will
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			continue to
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			to go through difficulties,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			Allah.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			As Sayedna Umar used to say,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			we are a people that Islam bring brought,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			Alhamdulillah,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			respect to.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			So in Suratul Jumu'ah, we find the foundations
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:53
			Alhamdulillah
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			of of this reform.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			Those who are on the sayer to Allah,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			the
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:01
			of Allah.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:03
			And
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			Sheikh Ahmed ad Dardir
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			Rahimullah,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			he defines
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			this path to Allah,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			ista'a to
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			That the path to Allah is very simple.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			To obey Allah and oppose the nafs.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			To obey Allah
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:28
			and oppose
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			evil.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			Allah
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			begins in this chapter. He says,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			actually is an imperfect verb.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			And what that means, it has no ending,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:52
			alhamdulillah.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			And you've noticed perhaps in the Quran that
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			sometimes this incredible action of glorifying Allah,
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			as the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam said
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			very beautifully
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			that was SubhanAllah,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			he walhamdulillahi
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:10
			tamlaumma
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			bayina sama iwalarb.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			The Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said that
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			when you say SubhanAllah and you say Alhamdulillahi,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:17
			you
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			feel the scales of the heavens.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			SubhanAllah
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			with with this khair.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			So Allah
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			says,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			That everything in the heavens and the earth
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			is constantly glorifying Allah
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			without an ending, Subhan Allah.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			Allah says that you don't understand the way
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			that the other creatures around you are making
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:49
			tasbih
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			But also we find in the Quran something
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			really cool, and that is that it's used
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			in the past tense, Surat Al Hadid
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			and Surat Al Hashar.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			Allah
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			says
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			That everything has praised Allah.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			So some of our teachers said that Allah
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			mentions his glory in the past
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			and his glory in the present and in
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			the future, as if to say that there
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			is not a moment in existence,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			except that creation
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			is glorifying Allah
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			And that brings us as human beings.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:32
			Allah
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			says,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			so the birds,
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			the skies,
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			the atoms, the molecules,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			everything subhanAllah
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			is saying SubhanAllah except this human being.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			This human being has the choice because Allah
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			ordered us
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			You must, you must glorify the name of
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:57
			your Lord,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			Subhanallah.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			And Allah says
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			to say,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			So between all of the creation around us,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			which is in a state of glorifying Allah
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			Allah gave us the choice.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			Everything was presented distrust and it refused, even
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			the heavens and the mountains, but human beings
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			took this trust. That trust is dhikr of
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			Allah, in Ma'rif of Allah, and Ibaratullah.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			So the first quality what we're talking about
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			for those of you who joined us are
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			qualities that can allow us to live a
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			life of faith and devotion.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			Qualities that we should inculcate now if we
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			want to experience the revival of Islam in
		
00:08:59 --> 00:08:59
			our lives.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			And the first is zikr.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			The first is the remembrance of Allah.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			Allah who
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:08
			says,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			do not be from the negligent. Don't be
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			from those who SubhanAllah
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			were negligent of Allah's remembrance.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			remember your lord if you forgot him.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:34
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			So the first is super easy to start
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			the path to Allah.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			To become a person,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			To become a serious Muslim
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			is to engage in dhikr,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			remembrance.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			And the best dhikr we can say is
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			la ilaha illallah. After the Quran, of course.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			But not everybody can read the Quran. Right?
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			So sometimes they feel intimidated, which is okay.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			That's not a bad thing. That's being honest,
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			But everybody can say
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			There's no God except Allah.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:09
			The prophet
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			said
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			he said the best thing that I and
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			any of the prophets before me said is,
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			So this is the first quality. For those
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			of you who are really listening,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			If you really want to experience a transformative
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			Ramadan,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			this is the first thing you're going to
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			start to work on is to say, la
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			ilaha illallah
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			as you can.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:43
			manmatwahuayalam
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			Whoever dies and they know well,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			they'll enter Jannah.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			There are 2 etiquettes of dhikr that we
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			want to think about. Number 1 is understanding
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			the meaning. Masha Allah. People are typing it
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			in the chat box. La ilaha illallah alhamdulillah.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			The first is to think about the meaning
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:06
			of
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			and the second is to contextualize it within
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			our own lives.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			As one of our teachers said,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			The remembrance of Allah and the recitation of
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:23
			the Quran
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			meets with our situations in life.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			Maybe some people, especially we have a lot
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			of people who've embraced Islam, Alhamdulillah, over the
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			last few weeks, and they cannot say, la
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			ilaha illallah.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			You can also say Allah,
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:38
			Allah,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:39
			Allah.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			And it's actually unfortunate
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			that some people have actually said,
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			saying the name of Allah is Bida.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			You Allah, like what happened to the Muslim
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			Ummah? That now even they're fighting over this
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			the the name of their lord to say
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			to make zikr with the name of Allah.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			Quran,
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			remember the name of your Lord. What is
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			the name of our Lord? Allah orders us,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			you must remember the name of your Lord.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			What is the name of our Lord? Allah
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. So here in the Quran
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			it's very clear.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			And this is a sign that we have
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			become lost. We are like Simba on the
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			Lion King. We look
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			in the water, and we see a pig,
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			but we are the greatest ummah.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			We look in the water and we see
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			a defeated people. We are.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			We look in the water and we see
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			a sinner, but Allahu Ghafoorur Rahim.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			We forgot who we are
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			because we forgot our deen.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			And the reason that we forgot our deen
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			is we forgot to mention
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:55
			That's why
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			I used to tell some of my students
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			That
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			excuse me, that remembrance
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			causes us to think.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			And when we think about what we say,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			this leads to cognition and understanding.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			And knowing leads to action.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			And acting leads to you seeing
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			Allah guiding you in your life. You gotta
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			take some risks.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			And when we see Allah's guidance in our
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:43
			life,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			this causes us to love
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			Allah. And the love of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			ta'ala only causes one thing to happen, and
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			that's Jannah.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			So the first quality that we wanna think
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			about as we go through Ramadan, because maybe
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			we feel burdened, maybe there's a lot going
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			on, people have finals, may Allah make your
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			exams easier for you Insha Allah.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			Myself, I have a small child. You know,
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			it's difficult. Right before iftar, my 2 year
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			old daughter was like, park,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			park.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			You know, right before iftar, you basically feel
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			like, man, I just want to wait. Just
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			want to wait.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			Just want to wait. But my my 2
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			year old, she came to me, said, Baba,
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			what? All I'll bark.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			Park.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			I wanna go to the park, say, you
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			Allah. So we took her to the park,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:37
			man.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			Almost passed out at the park. You know
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:40
			what I mean?
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			So we all like we all feel,
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			you know, sometimes the struggle to maintain the
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			worship in Ramadan, and that's for a very
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			important reason that we'll talk about later.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			But a man, he came to the prophet
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			because maybe some of you, you're like, man,
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			I'm not really that good of a Muslim.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			You know, I'm struggling to get it right.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
			My family may have not, like, furnished these
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			things for me. That's okay. We still love
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			you. You're still part of our family. My
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			family didn't even believe in Allah.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			But a man, he came to the prophet
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
			in a sound narration, and he said and
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			he became Muslim in Medina.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
			And he said, oh, messenger of Allah, the
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			Sharia has become diff he became Muslim in
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			Mecca. He said, oh, messenger of Allah, alayhi
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			salatu salam.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			The Sharia is difficult.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			Like it used to be easy, but now
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			it's a lot to do.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			Is there something that you can show me
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			that if I do it,
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			I I can, like, you know, make up
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			for those things. And the prophet said, keep
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			your speech
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			busy with the remembrance of Allah.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			So the first step, minusoolilwusool,
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			is la ilaha illallah.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			The second insult to Jummah
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			Allah
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			mentions these names, Al Merik,
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			Al Qudruz,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			Al Aziz,
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			Al Hakim, and there's a reason why each
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			one of these is mentioned,
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			Because when we know that Allah is Al
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:14
			Malik,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			the one who controls all things, and he's
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			Malik,
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			the one who controls the micro and the
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			macro,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			Then I realized
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			I'm owned by
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			Allah.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			Allah says that he purchased
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			our lives and our property,
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			the people of Ima.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			The next is thank
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			you,
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			Sadim for helping out and and and typing
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			notes. May Allah bless you. Imagine Sadim, every
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			letter you get, Allahu Akbar, you're getting a
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			lot of Adria.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			Al Qudus is the sacred,
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			the pure.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			And this is one of the important qualities
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			that we have with Tawhid is to recognize
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			that all power.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			Everything good, evil, bad, whatever comes my way
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			is from Allah. Alhamdulillah.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			The second
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			is that a Muslim has appreciation for the
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			secular. The the the the the the the
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			excuse me. That a Muslim has appreciation for
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			the sacred,
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			and runs in opposition
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			to the sacred.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			Allah says,
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			Whoever honors the sacred things.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			This is a sign of taqwa. We live
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			now in a society in an age
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			largely dominated by a predatory economic system,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			which is rooted in creating heathenry
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			and ripping any notions of this the sacred
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			from people's hearts. Because if people don't believe
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			in the sacred, they become uncritical
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			consumers,
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			and they support the beast. They feed the
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:11
			beast.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			I remember when I lived in Boston, the
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			mayor of Boston, he said, Masha'Allah,
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			when the Muslims would go into neighborhoods, the
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			crime rate would go down.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			That when the Muslims would go into neighborhoods,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			the liquor stores would be less.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			That when Muslims would move into labor, to
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			to to neighborhoods,
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:29
			the predatory
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			check cashing places on interest would shut down
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			because a Muslim believes in the sacred. And
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			that's why sometimes people hate us.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			They are envious of you because of what
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			Allah has blessed you with. The ma'rifah
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			of Allah
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52
			and understanding that a faithful person has nonnegotiables.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			And when we say that Allah is this
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			means that we appreciate
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			and honor
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			his identification of what is obligatory
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			to do, as well as what Allah has
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			defined as sinful behavior.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			Al Aziz Al Hakim, the powerful, the wise.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			So the second quality,
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			Masha'Allah
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			Masha'Allah,
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			of the believer
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			is what? Sadim can help me type it
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			out, is Tawhid.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			And not not theoretical Tawhid. This is the
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:26
			problem of the Muslims now. Everybody online
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			fighting
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			about theoretical Tawhid.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			But where is the practical Tawhid?
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			Where is the acting living tawhid of the
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:35
			prophets?
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			We find people now arguing over very, very
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			secondary issues
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			where the Muslim world is rocked by dictators,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:44
			illiteracy,
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			the the continued
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			Western Imperial
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			engagement in the Muslim world economically,
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			politically,
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			militarily,
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			and we have time to talk about theoretical
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			issues. The Hindu Kush mountains
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			are melting and farmers in Pakistan because of
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:03
			global
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			the global
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			climate crisis
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			are not able, SubhanAllah, to even grow
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14
			their crops. But you and I are arguing
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:14
			over
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			theoretical issues.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			When people in the Muslim community feel alone
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:20
			and isolated,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			and that nobody cares for them, And you
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			and I have time to talk about how
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			we are arguing
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			over secondary
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			theoretical issues.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			What happened to this Ummah of the prophet
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:38
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam? Shahwali Alala Dehluy, the great
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			scholar from Delhi, India, He said that the
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			Sahaba in the Quran only asked the prophet
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			13 questions.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			It wasn't about all that.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			It was about handling business.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			It was about the the iman led to
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			a revival in a person's personality.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			So the first quality, Masha'Allah,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:57
			from
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			the believers for Islamic revival in our lives
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			is remembrance of Allah. The second is functional
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			Tawhid. And then what does Allah say?
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
			Pay attention, wallahi. This verse is incredible.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:29
			Allah
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			says the third thing is he sent the
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			messenger of Allah.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			Now we have some Muslims who will say,
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			can I love the messenger of Allah too
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			much? Is this shirk? You Allah.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			This is the same type of Muslim who
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			says, can I say Allah, Allah,
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			Allah? We don't hate these people also. We
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			don't we don't wanna create more fitna, but
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			we need to teach these people.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			We said it earlier, Allah says,
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			Allah's name is Allah, and he orders me
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			in the Quran to remember his name, Khalas.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			How could anyone be worried about loving the
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam too
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:14
			much?
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			When a man came to the prophet sallallahu
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:19
			alaihi wasallam,
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			and he said, you Rasulullah,
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			when I'm with you, I'm so happy. And
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			when I'm alone with my family, I feel
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			sad because I realized I won't be with
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			you in Jannah. I wrote a poem in
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			Arabic about this.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			As I wrote in this poem has some
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			mistakes because this one I was, you know,
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			like first starting out in writing poetry in
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			Arabic. It says what?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			That my heaven without you is *, You
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			Allah.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			The prophet didn't tell him, you love me
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10
			too much, you should fear Allah, you should
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			stay away from me.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			Sayna Muhammad said,
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:15
			Ahab.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			The person will be with who they love.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			So maybe I have sins.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			Maybe I have difficulties,
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			maybe I have shortcomings.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			As Ahmed Shawki said,
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			Sayedna Shawqi said, I threw myself in front
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			of the door of the head of the
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			prophets. Meaning, my love of Sayidina Muhammad salallahu
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			alaihi wasallam, insha Allah will carry me insha
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:43
			Allah to
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			salvation and success.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			But Allah says the second the third thing
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			is to have a relationship with the Prophet
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. The first, zikr. The second,
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			tawhid.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			The third
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			is to have an intimate relationship with Al
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			Habib,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			And pay attention. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			about the role of the prophet in our
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			lives.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			That the prophet's job is to purify us,
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			to recite the book and the ayat of
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			Allah,
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			to teach us the Quran
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			and wisdom.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			Look. Actually, the prophet is the dua of
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			Sayna Ibrahim alaihis salam,
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			who said and his son, Ishmael.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			Sayna Ibrahim and sayna Ismael said, oh, Allah,
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			send to these Arabs
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			a prophet
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:47
			who
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			teach your book to them and wisdom and
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			purify them. But Allah, he answered the dua,
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			but look he changed the order. Instead of
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			talking about teaching
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			and wisdom he starts with what?
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			So he says, you say,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			so Allah
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			He changed the order of the dua
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			to show us the importance of
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			So Allah says,
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			to teach us the book
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			Pay attention to this now.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			The beginning of the verse that talks about
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			Sayna Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam, it says
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			that the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam was
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			sent to illiterate people. Illiterate people, of course,
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			is like a physical
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:47
			a physical
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			lack of knowledge.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			But then at the end of the verses,
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			it says
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			that internally also they were ignorant.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			Their inner state and their outer state is
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			misguided
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			until Allah
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			symptoms
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			You
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:13
			said
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			So here we see something,
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			that a relationship with a prophet is not
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			only going to impact me in my spiritual
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			situation,
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			but also
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			in my physical life.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			So the first three qualities of a person,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			is to say,
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:41
			abundantly,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			functional toe hidden to avoid the differences amongst
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			the Muslims. This is a waste of time.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			It's not changing anything.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			And the third, Masha'Allah,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			thank you very much, is to have a
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			relationship
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			with Sayidna Muhammad. My wife told me this
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			too, Sayidna Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			The 4th
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			is to remember death.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			very beautifully. Right?
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			Sorry. The 4th is not to fall into
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			cynicism,
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			not to give up on the ummah of
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:20
			Allah
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:29
			Muhammad.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			So after talking about the Sahaba and the
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			blessings of the Sahaba and the early Muslims,
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			Allah talks about us.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			Because sometimes
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			we find some irresponsible
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			content providers
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			telling Muslims of this age, you're the worst,
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			you're evil, you're no good, you have no
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			khair in you.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			But the prophet
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:54
			said Muslim.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			Whoever says the people are destroyed is destroyed.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:01
			Also. Cynicism
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			towards Muslims.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			And to fall into hating your fellow Muslim,
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			and to have cynicism towards your fellow Muslims,
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			is actually to be part of the extension
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			of the colonial
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			enterprise in Muslim lands.
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			That positive and located the Muslim as someone
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:19
			backwards,
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			as someone not worth loving, not someone being
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:25
			cared for. But to love a Muslim is
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			actually an act of liberation.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			That's why the prophet called the love of
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			each other,
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:35
			the spirit of Allah. Because just as the
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			spirit of Allah brought life to Adam,
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			the love we have for one another brings
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			life to our hearts, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			So Allah mentions this in the Quran.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			Will be him
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			That the later Ummah will be united with
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:54
			the earlier Ummah. When and where? At the
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			of Sayna Muhammad
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			So we should not fall into a cynicism
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			and given up on one another, alhamdulillah,
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			because Islam,
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			Alhamdulillah, is this transformative
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			power in our life.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in a good
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			hadith, he said,
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			that the later Ummah,
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			right, my ummah is like rain. You don't
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			know which one is the best, the beginning
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			or the end.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			And the Prophet said about us,
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			I would love to see
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			our brothers and sisters.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			Are we not your brothers and sisters,
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			No. No. You're you're my Sahaba, but they
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			are the ones that will come after us,
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			Allah. The prophet said, I would love to
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			see them.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			So the 4th quality is not to have
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			any malice or hatred for Muslims.
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			We may differ. We can actually differ. That's
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:56
			fine.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			But subhanAllah, how do we differ is very
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			different than the rest of the world. So
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			what are the qualities we talked about as
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			we finished Insha'Allah?
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:05
			Number 1,
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09
			the Zikr of Allah, La ilaha illallah. Number
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			2, functional tawhid.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:13
			Number 3, a relationship with Sayna Nabi salallahu
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			alaihi wa sallam. And number 4, love of
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16
			the Ummah of the Prophet.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19
			As Sayna Imam Atahawi says, Al Mu'minu kullahu
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			aulia ur Rahman.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			Sayna Imam Atahawi says, the believers, all of
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:27
			them are the auliya of the most merciful.
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			The 5th quality
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			is remembrance of death.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			It's important that we remember death because it
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			helps locate us morally
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41
			and centers us and brings vision to our
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:41
			lives.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			The prophet
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49
			said, think about death
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			frequently because it will destroy false pleasures.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			Sayna Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, when he would
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			feel that he was negligent,
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			he would, subhanAllah, go and sit in a
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			in a in a grave
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			and say, this
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			this is where it's gonna matter, You Omar.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			This is where it's gonna matter.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:11
			And Allah
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15
			mentions the communities that came before us, and
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17
			how what led them to be corrupted
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:18
			was love of dunya
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			and forgetting the hereafter.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			That their books they carried their books like
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			donkeys carry books.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			The followers of Sayedna Musa alaihi salatu salam.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			And what led to this corruption? Allah says,
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			The death that you flee from,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			one day will meet you.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			And then you will be returned to the
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			one who knows all things,
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			the unseen and the seen.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:16
			And Allah will inform you of everything you
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:16
			did.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			So belief in death,
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			in certainty in the hisab
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			is crucial for someone on the way to
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			Allah
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			because that is going to create a healthy
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			balance of fear and hope.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			So Alhamdulillah,
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			the first page of Suratul Jumu'ah,
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			we took the following qualities. And, Sadeem, we're
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			gonna give you a free scholarship to my
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			school. If you send me a message on
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40
			Instagram, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43
			because you took these amazing notes, We're gonna
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			give you a lifetime scholarship to Swiss, Insha'Allah.
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			The first one we said is the remembrance
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			of Allah.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			The second one is Tawhid.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			The third is a relationship with the prophet.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56
			The 4th is love for the Ummah.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:59
			And the 5th is dhikrul mawtwalhisab,
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			is remembering death and locating death in front
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			of me.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			Not telling myself, you know, one day I
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			got time. If you die tomorrow, you're old
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:08
			today. SubhanAllah.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			And the last two qualities, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			Allah
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20
			warns us of the danger of being unhealthily
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			attached to the glam,
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			to the bling,
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			to the dunya.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:28
			He says,
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			Allah says when you are called to the
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			Jum'ah prayer,
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:44
			leave everything.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			And that is a life of principles,
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51
			a life of dedication.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03
			Those people who their business transactions,
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			the likes on the gram,
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09
			the attention they get from non Muslims,
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:11
			the glitz and the glam,
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:14
			that doesn't take them from Allah.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			That doesn't take them from Allah.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:20
			Being popular,
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:22
			being accepted,
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:25
			being part of the current doesn't take them
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:25
			from Allah.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			They have principles.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:30
			And we all struggle. I struggle. Every one
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			of us struggles with principles.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			That's why we make Tawba.
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36
			Saydna Sheikh Ahmed
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:37
			says
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			He said every time that
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:46
			a Wali of Allah sins, they turn to
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:46
			Allah.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			So the the the the the second,
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			excuse me. The 6th
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56
			is having discipline
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			and not allowing ourselves
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			to be swayed
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			by this monoculture
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:06
			that tries all with all its might
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:10
			to make us feel as though this dunya
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:10
			is Jannah.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			If you're working for this dunya,
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			like you're working for Jannah,
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:17
			check yourself.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			If I'm working
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21
			for this dunya,
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24
			like I'm working for Jannah,
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			let me check myself.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			And if I let go of the dunya,
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			if I let go of the hereafter,
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			seeking the dunya,
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			then this means I believe
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			that the permanence of the hereafter
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			is not subhanAllah is not really
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			really there in my heart, man.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			The last is balance.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			Allah says,
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:08
			You know you find Muslims they want to
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			come back to Allah, they go super hard,
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:11
			but this actually is a sign of selfishness,
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			this is hubris. I'm going hard so you
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			get you get the pleasure out. It's not
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:18
			for a lot, so you can feel good.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			But we don't worship Allah for a feeling.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:23
			Whoever worships Allah for a feeling, worships the
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:23
			feeling.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:27
			And we find people who go too far
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:27
			relaxed.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:31
			But Allah says after the prayer is done,
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			go and work.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			Go and seek your livelihood.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			So although we
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			monitor our unhealthy attachments to the dunya, we
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			still have to use the dunya, mashallah.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:47
			And at the end of this chapter we
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			find this illustrated very beautifully.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01
			Allah is talking about something that happens, subhanAllah,
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			in the time of the companions of the
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:04
			prophet
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:09
			And that is he was giving the jumuah
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:09
			a hotba
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			and a caravan came into Medina, and there
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15
			were musicians playing music according to al Tabari.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:18
			And there was people selling stuff and business,
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			and they all ran out of the Jummah
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			prayer
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:27
			to go go take part in the dunya.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:30
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			and here you learn something else. So I
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34
			didn't say
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			you, he says, win somebody, you know,
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			somebody saw
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:41
			it because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala doesn't want
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			to shame people.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			When
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			they see business,
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			hears music,
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:49
			in
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			Fardu
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			they flee,
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:56
			and they left you, oh Muhammad Qaima, standing
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:56
			by yourself.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			This is that illustration of the point I
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:01
			made earlier
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			about the balance between principles
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:05
			and worship.
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			Principles
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			and dunya.
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:13
			So what do we take quickly? Alhamdulillah.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			As we finish inshallah?
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			These seven qualities
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			from Masha'allah.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			The first
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31
			is dhikr.
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:34
			The second and in in particular,
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37
			The second
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:40
			is functional tawheed, not theoretical tawheed.
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			The third
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			is having a relationship with Muhammad
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:50
			The 4th is loving this ummah
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:52
			that the prophet loves
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			The 5th
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:58
			is locating death
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:01
			as a place that will allow us
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:02
			to
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			GPS our life, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:05
			correctly.
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:07
			The 6th
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			is principles and balance.
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:12
			Right? Not allowing
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:15
			the glam of the the the glam of
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:16
			the gram.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			I mean, it's interesting it's called TikTok. Right?
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:22
			Because we believe that every minute, every second
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			tick of the clock, we're going to be
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:26
			held accountable for that.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:30
			So how are we using those things,
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			and how are they impacting us,
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:36
			and how are they impacting our faith in
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:37
			our relationship with Allah,
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:40
			and then finally,
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			balance.
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:44
			So these are
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			the
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:52
			How do we wanna start our faith? Remembrance
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			of Allah,
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:54
			functional tawhid,
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:56
			relationship with a prophet,
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:58
			loving the ummah,
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			locating death,
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			balancing between principles and the struggle of dunya,
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:06
			and then having Tawazan in Umar boundless.
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			For those of you who know tomorrow at
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12
			Swiss, we actually have 2 classes. I hate
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			to self promote, I don't like doing it.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			We have 2 classes, 1 is gonna start
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:17
			tomorrow at 1:30,
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:20
			1 o'clock InshaAllah, the infographic of the Quran.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:21
			And then an hour and a half before
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			iftar here in New York City, on the
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:26
			East Coast, we're going to have a short
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:28
			class on prayer with purpose,
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:31
			You know, how can we improve our prayer?
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:32
			For those of you who know, I run
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:34
			an online school. If you appreciate the work
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:35
			I do,

			the
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45
			chat box, they can tell you their experiences.
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:49
			The amount of information, the amount of resources
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			that you have access to, we believe is
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			extremely important. We have people memorizing the Quran,
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:56
			we have almost 300 people on scholarship, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:59
			some of them actually in Gujarat, who converted
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			as Hindus and are hiding, SubhanAllah, their Islam,
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			from their families. We have a large number
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			of young people, masha'Allah, also
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:07
			who have,
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			you know, like, sasadeemihir,
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:11
			who's taken the mess the notes. Right? That
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:14
			we, you know, make sure that we furnish
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:16
			them with an educational opportunity. So I wanna
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:19
			encourage you Insha'Allah, if you can go to

00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			Masha'Allah. So if you appreciate the work that
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:25
			we do,
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			and the style that we do,
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30
			support us.
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			Right? Support the efforts,
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			as we try to really do something that
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:37
			we think will be a beneficial for the
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:40
			Muslim Ummah who speaks English. Inshallah, every week,
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42
			we'll try to come Friday night and do
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:43
			some small reminders.
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:44
			Tonight, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:46
			was this short reflection
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49
			on sort of Jumuah and how sort of
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:50
			Jumuah
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:53
			gives us really 7 foundations
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:56
			for trying to live a better life, a
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			life of dedication and faith. If there's any
		
00:41:58 --> 00:41:58
			questions,
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:00
			I'm happy to take your questions
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:02
			now.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:03
			Ask Allah
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05
			to bless you as well as to our
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:05
			requests
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07
			and to keep you
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			strong.
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			Please pray for my mom's friend. She is
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12
			on the vent since 2 months.
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:13
			Ask Allah
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:17
			May Allah
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			cure her and bless her.
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:23
			I got my teeth pulled. What to do?
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			Yeah. So just make up the day you
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:26
			missed it. May Allah
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:29
			make it easy for you, man. That's that's
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			certainly not a a simple a simple thing.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:34
			Right? Getting your teeth pulled is is never
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:40
			a simple situation. May Allah
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			make it easy for you, Aki.
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:45
			You can send those notes to whoever you
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			want,
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			and if you want, you can send it
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:49
			to me, and I'll I'll post I'll post
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:51
			the notes on my story
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:53
			so I can screenshot them with your permission,
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:55
			and then we will
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:56
			we will,
		
00:42:58 --> 00:42:59
			share them there.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:01
			May
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:08
			Allah bless your mother and increase her in.
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:10
			May Allah bless her and raise her
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			No. You don't have to make dua for
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:18
			people that you dislike or even hate. Right?
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			You know, you don't have to make dua
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:20
			for them.
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			Mashallah. Welcome. We have someone that's new here.
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:25
			May Allah bless you. Is visiting the graves
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27
			of form of Ibad, of course, this is
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:29
			the sunnah of the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:30
			sallam who said, astaghjartu,
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			I sought permission from my lord to visit
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			my mother's grave, and eventually he gave him
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36
			permission,
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			to to
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:42
			visit the graves. And we know the Sahaba,
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:43
			they used to visit the graves,
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:46
			say used to visit the grave and say,
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:47
			you know, this is this is where it's
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:48
			gonna matter. Right?
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:50
			From Indonesia.
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			We actually have a a number of teen
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:54
			programs that we'll be starting. We just finished
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:56
			last week our teen programs for at Swiss.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			We have almost 400 youth, alhamdulillah, in our
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:02
			programs with myself and Ustaz Abdul Karim, and
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04
			we'll start inshallah in the summer again, the
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:05
			life of the prophet,
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:10
			as well as some other programs we're working
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:10
			on
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:14
			You can go to the graves on any
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:16
			on any time, alhamdulillah. It's the sunnah of
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He said,
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22
			He said, you know, I used to prohibit
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24
			people from visiting the graves, but now you
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			should visit them.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:26
			So
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:28
			absolutely, this is we need to stay away
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:31
			from some of this. This is innovation. You

			should the way of the early Muslims was
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:33

00:44:39 --> 00:44:41
			to bless each and every one of you
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			and keep you in harr against Hadim. Thank
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:44
			you for taking those amazing notes as well
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:47
			as everyone else. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			unite us with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:49
			sallam and
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:52
			and revive the beautiful ummah of Sayna Rasool
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:56
			Rasool
