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

00:40:17 --> 00:40:20

00:40:20 --> 00:40:21

And then an hour and a half before

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

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?

00:41:44 --> 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

00:42:53 --> 00:42:55

and then we will

00:42:56 --> 00:42:56

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

00:44:31 --> 00:44:33

should the way of the early Muslims was

00:44:33 --> 00:44:33

to visit graves

00:44:34 --> 00:44:36

because it reminds us of death.

00:44:37 --> 00:44:38

We ask Allah

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
