As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuhu, bismillāhi

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm, wa-ṣallá Llāhu wa

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

-sallamu wa-barakā ʿalá Sayyidinā Muḥammadin wa-alá

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

ʾālihī wa-ṣaḥbihī ajmaʿīn, ammā baʿdu fas-salāmu

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

ʿalaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuhu.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

With the will of Allāh ﷻ, we are

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

going to continue in this way, diving into

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

the depths of the names of Allāh ﷻ.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

And one of these beautiful names that I

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

want to look at today is the name

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

of Allāh ﷻ, or one of His names

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

is Ṣabūr, the names of Divine Patience.

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

And I was thinking right before the class

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

about all of these things that show us

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

that Allāh ﷻ is actually very patient with

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

us.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:52

And I wrote some things down that have

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

to do with His names and so forth.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

And one of the things I saw that

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

really showed me how patient Allāh ﷻ is,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:04

is that He has been sending prophets all

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

over again.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

I can't change this now, I will keep

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

it like this, in shā'a Llāh, it's

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

too difficult.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

So we will see that Allāh ﷻ has

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

been sending His prophets all over again, all

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

the time.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

And this has been going on since He

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

has created mankind.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

And if we look, then we see that

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

Adam ﷺ was sent by Allāh ﷻ, and

00:01:29 --> 00:01:34

he of course was living in the light

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

of Tawḥīd.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

There was no shirk, there was no false

00:01:38 --> 00:01:43

gods, there was nothing, until Adam ﷺ was

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

expelled from Paradise.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

And then when this happened, people on the

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

face of the earth, starting with one of

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

the sons of Adam ﷺ, started committing sins,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59

which eventually resulted into murder.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:07

Then as time went on, people started worshipping

00:02:07 --> 00:02:07

people.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

And it actually started off very, very simple.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

I mean, when you look at the very

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

beginning, there were pious people.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

And these pious people, they had names.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

And these names of these pious people are

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

mentioned in Surat Nūḥ.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

So they were all good people.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

And then when they died, because people usually

00:02:30 --> 00:02:35

they have the urge to look up, they

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

are always looking to look up to someone

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

and to find this perfect example.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

And this is what people very often do

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

with their mashāyikh as well.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

They try to look at them as being

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

the perfect human being.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

Very often this takes us away from the

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

best example, which is the Prophet ﷺ.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

So anyway, these people started looking up to

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

these pious people.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

And when they looked up to these pious

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04

people, then the generation died and they said,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

look, these pious people have died, let us

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

just, you know, think about them, let us

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

make statues that represent them.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

And when we want to think about Allah,

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

we just look at these statues.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

And so time, as time went on, you

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

understand that at the end, people forgot what

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

it was all about.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

And they started worshipping statues.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

In the beginning, because they thought that the

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

statues, not because the statues were God, but

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

because they would draw them closer to God.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:37

But at the end, they started attributing Godly

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

and divine characteristics to these statues.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

So why am I saying all of this?

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

So it started with this Tawheed in Jannah,

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

and then it started with the sin, the

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

son of Adam, and then people started being

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

exposed to Haram.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

And what we understand from this is when

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

people are exposed to Haram, this will eventually

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

lead to Kufr, and Kufr will lead to

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

Shirk and so much more.

00:04:02 --> 00:04:07

So then Nuh was sent, and Allah subhanahu

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

wa ta'ala cleansed the earth.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

So we are all, we're still talking about

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

the name As-Sabur.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala cleansed the earth.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

And he got rid of Shirk and Kufr

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

and the people that didn't want to listen

00:04:21 --> 00:04:21

to Nuh.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

The first thing you see is that Nuh

00:04:25 --> 00:04:31

lived for 950 years, meaning he was inviting

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

his people towards the truth during 950 years.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

I mean, this alone is in need of

00:04:37 --> 00:04:37

patience.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

But what we forget, it's not just the

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

patience of Nuh, it is Allah's patience subhanahu

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

wa ta'ala, that people are being invited

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

for 950 years, and that Allah subhanahu wa

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

ta'ala still gives them a chance.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

He didn't say like after 100 years, now

00:04:55 --> 00:04:55

it's done.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

You have been listening for 100 years, you

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

have been listening for 200 years, 300, 4,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:05

5, 6, 7, 8, 950 years.

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

Not only was Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

patient when we look at the amount of

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

years that Nuh alayhi salam was inviting them

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

towards Allah, but also the way that Nuh

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

alayhi salam was inviting them.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

He was inviting them in all different ways,

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

and this shows us patience once again.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:30

He says like in surah Nuh, رَبِّ إِنِّي

00:05:30 --> 00:05:35

دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا فَلَمْ يَزِدُهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

فِرَارًا وَإِنِّي كُلَّ مَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا

00:05:39 --> 00:05:44

أَصَابِعْهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُوا

00:05:44 --> 00:05:48

وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا ثُمَّ إِنِّي and so forth.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

أَعَلَنْتُ لَهُمْ جِهَارًا وَأَصَرَفْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا and so

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

many different things.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

So Nuh is saying, يا ربي, during these

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

950 years, I've been inviting them in public,

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

I've been inviting them openly, I've been inviting

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

them by going to their houses in secret,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

and so much more.

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10

So he during these 950 years, he was

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

not only inviting them during 950 years, but

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

all the different methods and all the different

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

ways that were possible for him to invite

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

people towards Allah to were used.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:27

It is only after these 950 years when

00:06:27 --> 00:06:31

Nuh عليه السلام asked everything that all of

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

a sudden he said, like Allah سبحانه وتعالى

00:06:34 --> 00:06:39

mentions in Surah Al-Qamar, يَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ ثَمْ

00:06:39 --> 00:06:44

تَصِر yani I can't escape anymore, they have

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

control over me, meaning that they are going

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

to kill me, they are going to do

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

these things to the believers.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

And this is when he said, أنا مغلوب,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:58

yani I'm overpowered, فَانْتَصِر so give me help.

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

فَفَتَحْنَا يعني when Nuh عليه السلام said this

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

after 950 years, it is then when his

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

dua was accepted straight away.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:16

نعم إني مغلوبٌ فَانْتَصِر فَفَتَحْنَا أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَاءٍ

00:07:16 --> 00:07:21

مُنْهَمِرْ وَفَجَّرْنَا الْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَالْتَقَى الْمَاءُ عَلَىٰ أَمْرٍ

00:07:21 --> 00:07:25

قَدْ قُدِرْ وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَاحٍ وَدُسُرٍ So

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

here when you look, Nuh عليه السلام after

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

being patient for 950 years, يعني and Allah

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

being patient with his creation in the first

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

place, then when he now made a dua,

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

Allah سبحانه وتعالى accepted the dua because the

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

dua didn't come from someone who lost his

00:07:42 --> 00:07:42

patience.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

The dua came from someone who was patient.

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

So Allah سبحانه وتعالى now gave him the

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

miracle that he opened the doors of the

00:07:51 --> 00:07:55

skies, سبحانه وتعالى and that he opened the

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

earth so that the water was coming down

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

from the skies and bursting out of or

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

flowing out of the earth, out of the

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

soil.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

And this is when all the people, when

00:08:07 --> 00:08:10

shirk and kufr was erased from the face

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

of the earth after all of this.

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

So what am I trying to say now?

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

We are looking today at the name of

00:08:16 --> 00:08:17

Allah سبحانه وتعالى, الصبور.

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

So now you think, okay, Allah سبحانه وتعالى

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21

cleansed the earth.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

So now there is tawheed again.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

The human being didn't even exist for a

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

thousand years when shirk first put foot on

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

planet Earth, set foot on planet Earth.

00:08:33 --> 00:08:37

So now after Nuh عليه السلام was saved,

00:08:37 --> 00:08:43

then after that people once again started attributing

00:08:43 --> 00:08:47

partners to Allah, false gods and so forth

00:08:47 --> 00:08:48

until today.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

And today we are thousands of years after

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

Allah سبحانه وتعالى not only cleansing the earth

00:08:54 --> 00:08:59

alone, but sending so many more than 325

00:08:59 --> 00:09:04

,000 prophets to remind the people of the

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07

reason why they exist, where they are heading

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

for, and always hammering on the same thing.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:14

أن يعبد الله والتقو meaning that you worship

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

Allah alone and that you fear Him.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:19

And also like أن يعبد الله واجتنب الطاغوت

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

that you worship Allah and stay away from

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

false gods.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

And أن يعبد الله ولا تشريكو به شيئا

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

and that you worship Allah and that you

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

do not ascribe any partners to Him.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

So these prophets have been doing this for

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

thousands of years.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:40

I mean how patient is Allah when you

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

tell your child two times the same thing,

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

يعني it's done, it's the end of the

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

world, why aren't you listening?

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

I told you so many times.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

And Allah سبحانه وتعالى is telling it so

00:09:50 --> 00:09:54

many times over and over again during thousands

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

and thousands of years.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

And this is what we mean when we

00:09:58 --> 00:10:01

say that we have to put the names

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

of Allah سبحانه وتعالى into practice.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

That is what we are talking about.

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

When you see that Allah has patience like

00:10:07 --> 00:10:11

this, that He doesn't lose His patience, that

00:10:11 --> 00:10:14

Allah سبحانه وتعالى when He punishes, it is

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

not because He loses His patience, it's because

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

people deserved it.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:22

And when Allah سبحانه وتعالى remains patient, it

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

is not because He's afraid to retribute, He's

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

not afraid to punish, He's not afraid to

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

destroy, He's not afraid to lose friends, He's

00:10:31 --> 00:10:36

not afraid because He سبحانه وتعالى is As

00:10:36 --> 00:10:36

-Saboor.

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

And As-Saboor is the one, and this

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

is what we need to understand, is when

00:10:40 --> 00:10:44

Allah punishes, it's not because He loses patience,

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

okay?

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

Because He is always As-Saboor.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

Allah سبحانه وتعالى is always As-Saboor, you

00:10:51 --> 00:10:51

see?

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

So even when He punishes, He punishes with

00:10:55 --> 00:10:55

Sabr.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:56

What does that mean?

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

Well, we are going to try to reflect

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

this on our daily life, where we see

00:11:02 --> 00:11:06

that Allah سبحانه وتعالى, first, we are going

00:11:06 --> 00:11:07

to mention this and then reflect it on

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08

our daily life.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:11

Allah سبحانه وتعالى, meaning He set these rules,

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

He set rules, right?

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

He says if you do this, you get

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

that, if you do this, you receive that.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

This is the reward, this is the punishment,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

I have decided already, and it is clear.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

So when you are punished, it is only

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

because of the consequence, it's a consequence of

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

what you are doing and you knew that

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

this would be the consequence.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

Meaning that Allah سبحانه وتعالى is not moved

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

by emotions.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

So Allah سبحانه وتعالى is not like, okay,

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

now I'm angry, this one made me angry,

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

so I'm going to punish him, that one,

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

okay, today I'm fine, I won't.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

These are human traits.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

This is not how Allah سبحانه وتعالى is

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

at all.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

So Allah made halal clear and wajib clear

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

and fard and mustahabb and makrooh and haram.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

So Allah made all of these things very

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

clear.

00:11:56 --> 00:12:00

So He now, He is always or we

00:12:00 --> 00:12:03

are always between His adal and His fadal

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

and you will hear me say this quite

00:12:05 --> 00:12:05

often.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

We are between Allah's justice and Allah's favor,

00:12:09 --> 00:12:09

always.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

If He punishes us because of what we

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

do and the punishment was already known, now

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

if He punishes us because of what we

00:12:18 --> 00:12:21

do, then it's merely His justice.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:26

And if we are rewarded, now if we

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

are rewarded or rather if we are not

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

punished, then it's because of His favor.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

That's all.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

So He has all right at all times

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

to punish us when we do something wrong.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

If we are not punished, if we are

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

not exposed, if we are not humiliated because

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

of what we did or what we are

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

doing or what we will do, it's because

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

He is the patient subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

So when you know this, then you need

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

to learn something from this.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:59

We as parents, for example, we need to

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

have exactly the same system in place.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

Meaning that we need to know what the

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

punishment will be and I'm not talking about

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

hitting and these kind of things.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

I mean the sanctions will be when the

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

child does something wrong.

00:13:11 --> 00:13:13

When you're too late, it's this.

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

Like for example, cleaning, I don't know, cleaning

00:13:16 --> 00:13:16

the windows.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

I'm just saying something.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

If you're late two times, it's this.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

Three times, it's that.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

When you yell at home, it's this.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

When you use a bad word, it's that.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

Why is this needed?

00:13:27 --> 00:13:30

Because otherwise, we are not going to be

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

just.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:36

Because then the punishment or the sanction that

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

we will be given will be in harmony

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

with our emotions.

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

So when I'm having a good day, then

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

you can knock over a glass of Coca

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

-Cola on my white sofa and I will

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

hug you and give you a kiss.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

But when I am angry and I'm stressed

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

out at work, and you knock over a

00:13:53 --> 00:13:57

transparent liquid, which is called water, and a

00:13:57 --> 00:14:00

drip of it falls onto my new pants,

00:14:00 --> 00:14:03

which doesn't matter really, it's just water, then

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

I send you to your room.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

And this is not living up to the

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

name Asabur.

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

The name Asabur means that you, when you

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

are going to put it into practice, that

00:14:15 --> 00:14:19

you are going to, in advance, know what

00:14:19 --> 00:14:25

it means to live in between walls, which

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28

are called rules for yourself as well.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

Your personal rules and you don't go away

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

from it.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:36

Now, if these rules are there, now you

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

can write them down, put them on a

00:14:38 --> 00:14:41

wall, a whiteboard in your house, and you

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

say, if you do this, it's that, this

00:14:43 --> 00:14:44

is that, khalas.

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

And if you do this, you will receive

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

that, for example.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

But from a psychological point of view, the

00:14:49 --> 00:14:53

rewards shouldn't be mentioned and they shouldn't always

00:14:53 --> 00:14:53

be given.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:53

Why?

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

Because they say, at the end of the

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

day, they should do it, the children should

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

do something because you are the parents and

00:15:00 --> 00:15:01

they are the children.

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03

So it's not, okay, do this, I give

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

you a candy.

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

No, you do it because I'm your parent.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

And if I want to give you something,

00:15:07 --> 00:15:08

then it's not because you did it, it's

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

just because I think you were being nice

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

and kind, but it's not a reward for

00:15:12 --> 00:15:13

you doing it.

00:15:14 --> 00:15:14

Why?

00:15:15 --> 00:15:15

Because you have to do it.

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

It's a part of you being a child

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

helping out in house, for example.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

So if we want to live up to

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

the name of Saboor subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

then this is what we are going to

00:15:24 --> 00:15:24

do.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

We are going to set these rules.

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

We are going to live up to them

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

and watch out.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

Once you have these rules, you don't go

00:15:31 --> 00:15:32

away from them.

00:15:32 --> 00:15:36

This will also allow you to express your

00:15:36 --> 00:15:41

anger within the boundaries of that which is

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

acceptable.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:45

That which is acceptable because when you go

00:15:45 --> 00:15:49

by your emotions, then your sanction will sometimes

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

be too big.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

Not only this, you will punish, maybe you

00:15:52 --> 00:15:52

will hit.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

Some parents when they're very angry, they hit

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

and say, oh, why did I do this?

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

You know, why did I do this?

00:15:58 --> 00:16:02

Or they might say, you're a very bad,

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

bad child.

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

I wish I didn't have you.

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

So many things.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

But when you know the punishment in advance,

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

then you're going to make a click.

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

Okay, you know what it is.

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

Go to your room, do this, do that.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:15

You're not going out this weekend.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:16

You are punished.

00:16:16 --> 00:16:21

So your emotion then will be reduced to

00:16:21 --> 00:16:25

putting your sanction that you already have decided

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

what it would be into place.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:29

Is that clear?

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

So I would like some people on YouTube

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

just say that it's clear, please, then I

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

know that I'm not alone.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

Because at the end of the day, I'm

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

just looking at a wall and then looking

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

at my own face and then looking upstairs.

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

And so if you can let me know,

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

please.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:44

I'm sorry.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

I'm doing this here because I want to

00:16:47 --> 00:16:48

get a coffee, please.

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

It's already ready, but I forgot it in

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

the living room.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:35

Okay, some people have asked me for landscape,

00:17:35 --> 00:17:36

which I understand to be better.

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

But the problem is I started giving the

00:17:40 --> 00:17:43

class like this and I am in a

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

bedroom and behind me is the bed and

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

the cushions and whatever.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

So I can't do this now.

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

That's the only reason.

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

Otherwise, I would have.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

Maybe during the break, inshallah, I can just

00:17:56 --> 00:18:00

arrange a bit behind me and then inshallah,

00:18:00 --> 00:18:02

we can have another image.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

So I'm very sorry if this is inconvenient

00:18:04 --> 00:18:04

for you.

00:18:06 --> 00:18:11

So what I said was that we now

00:18:11 --> 00:18:14

have to put this into place and then

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

we will be living up to the name

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

of Saboor.

00:18:16 --> 00:18:20

So Saboor subhanahu wa'ta'ala in the first

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

place is that we should know that a

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

Saboor is the one who is not moved

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

by emotions, but that he goes by the

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

rules that he has set.

00:18:30 --> 00:18:31

That's the first thing.

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

Also, the Saboor is the one who doesn't,

00:18:35 --> 00:18:38

he's the one who does not punish because

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

he has lost his patience.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:40

He doesn't do that.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

So he doesn't say like, okay, now that's

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

enough.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:44

I'm going to punish you.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

And that's a human reaction, which Allah subhanahu

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

wa'ta'ala doesn't have.

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

He's God Almighty subhanahu wa'ta'ala.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

So now Saboor, so now it's time for

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

you to grab your pen.

00:18:55 --> 00:19:00

It's now time has come to grab your

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

pen and we have the word Saboor, right?

00:19:04 --> 00:19:08

Because we say a Saboor that goes back

00:19:08 --> 00:19:12

to the letters Saad Ba Inra, Saad Ba

00:19:12 --> 00:19:12

Inra.

00:19:13 --> 00:19:17

Now also when you look at Saboor, it's

00:19:17 --> 00:19:18

the same as Shakoor.

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

It's the same as Wadood.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

It's the same as Ghafoor.

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

It's the same as so many other names

00:19:26 --> 00:19:30

on that which we call the pattern, the

00:19:30 --> 00:19:34

morphological pattern of the word which indicates something.

00:19:34 --> 00:19:38

So when we say a Saboor, when we

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

say a Saboor subhanahu wa'ta'ala then we

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

look at the pattern.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

There's a difference between Sabar.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

There's a difference between Sabir, Sabir, sorry, and

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

there is a difference between Saboor.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:53

Saboor is Ala Wazni Fa'ool, Ala Wazni

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

Fa'ool and the Wazn, the pattern of

00:19:56 --> 00:20:01

Fa'ool, Saboor, Shakoor, Wadood means that it

00:20:01 --> 00:20:05

is an ongoing thing, that it's always there.

00:20:05 --> 00:20:10

So Saboor means he has Sabar with everybody

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

and everything.

00:20:11 --> 00:20:15

The biggest proof for this are the words

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

of the Prophet Muhammad alaihi salatu wasalam, where

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

he said there is no one who is

00:20:20 --> 00:20:22

more patient than Allah.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

No one has more patience than Allah subhanahu

00:20:26 --> 00:20:26

wa'ta'ala.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:31

This is because they ascribe, they associate partners

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

with Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala or to Allah

00:20:34 --> 00:20:38

jalla wa'ala and they say that he

00:20:38 --> 00:20:43

has daughters, children, being daughters or sons and

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

yet he cues them when they are sick

00:20:45 --> 00:20:48

and he feeds them when they are hungry.

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

Now, I want you to have a look

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

when the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam said this,

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

then there is a reason, there is a

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

difference between saying he feeds them when they

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

are hungry and he cures them when they

00:21:00 --> 00:21:01

are sick.

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

When you see, when you say he feeds

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

them when they are hungry, then that's normal.

00:21:07 --> 00:21:08

You're taking care of somebody.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

But when someone's sick that you give him

00:21:12 --> 00:21:17

power and energy, now you re-energize, rejuvenate

00:21:17 --> 00:21:18

this person.

00:21:19 --> 00:21:19

Why?

00:21:19 --> 00:21:24

So that he or she can just, what?

00:21:25 --> 00:21:31

Can, so that he can just continue doing

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

his haram.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:33

That's what it's about, right?

00:21:33 --> 00:21:36

So because this person will be cured, but

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala is talking about those

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

who do haram, who say that Allah doesn't

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

exist, for example, but yet when they are

00:21:43 --> 00:21:43

sick, he cures them.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

So this is the amount of patience Allah

00:21:46 --> 00:21:47

subhanahu wa'ta'ala has.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

It's not just taking care of them, but

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

it is when they are about to maybe

00:21:51 --> 00:21:55

lose their lives, grant them life again and

00:21:55 --> 00:21:56

grant them prosperity again.

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

So this is quite important to have a

00:21:59 --> 00:21:59

look at that.

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

So we have As-Saboor subhanahu wa'ta'ala,

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

as we said, it's an ongoing thing.

00:22:04 --> 00:22:04

It's for everybody.

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

So his name As-Saboor is not just

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

for the what?

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

For the believers.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

It is for the believers as much as

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

it is for the non-believers.

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

And As-Saboor we said goes back to

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

the word or to the root letters, Sabara.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:29

Sabara means in the Arabic language, Hapsun Nafsi,

00:22:30 --> 00:22:38

meaning retaining yourself, retaining holding yourself together, like

00:22:38 --> 00:22:42

not allowing yourself to do something which you

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

do not want to do.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

And how do you know whether that which

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

you are about to do, you don't really

00:22:49 --> 00:22:52

want to do, is by looking at the

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

results of what you are about to do.

00:22:55 --> 00:22:58

And so if you want to know whether

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

that which you are going to do, which

00:23:00 --> 00:23:02

you are about to do, is something you

00:23:02 --> 00:23:04

really want to do, you don't have to

00:23:04 --> 00:23:05

look at how you feel.

00:23:06 --> 00:23:07

Because that is where people go wrong.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

Say, okay, now done.

00:23:09 --> 00:23:10

I'm done with it.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

And then at the end you regret it.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

sallam said, don't do anything today, which you

00:23:17 --> 00:23:18

will regret tomorrow.

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

So don't do anything today, which you will

00:23:21 --> 00:23:24

need to apologize yourself for tomorrow, said the

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, like in

00:23:26 --> 00:23:27

the Jam of Imam Suyuti.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:31

So if you want to know whether that

00:23:31 --> 00:23:32

which you are about to do is something

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

you want to do, then you just need

00:23:34 --> 00:23:38

to look at what will the possible results

00:23:38 --> 00:23:41

be and will I like this result or

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

will I detest and dislike the result.

00:23:44 --> 00:23:45

So if you dislike the result, don't do

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

it, because it's not something you like to

00:23:47 --> 00:23:47

do.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:51

It's something which your emotions push you to

00:23:51 --> 00:23:51

do.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

And that's a very big difference and that's

00:23:54 --> 00:23:54

not sabr.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

wa sallam made it very clear.

00:23:57 --> 00:24:00

When a woman was crying in front of

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

a grave, they say it was her son's

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

grave.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:04

Some say the husband's grave.

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

So she was crying in front of a

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

grave, at a grave.

00:24:08 --> 00:24:11

And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,

00:24:11 --> 00:24:12

be patient.

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

And then she said, she didn't know it

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

She said, just leave me alone.

00:24:18 --> 00:24:21

And when he went, the people told her,

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

don't you know that the Messenger of Allah

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

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the one that

00:24:24 --> 00:24:25

was talking to you?

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

And then she went back to the Prophet

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and then he told

00:24:29 --> 00:24:36

her, patience is only true patience when you

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

are patient from the very beginning, at the

00:24:39 --> 00:24:42

very beginning of your test, when your test

00:24:42 --> 00:24:42

starts.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

That is where you need to be patient.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:48

And this is why they say, intellectuals do

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

at the beginning of a test, what fools

00:24:50 --> 00:24:51

do at the end of a test.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

And we mentioned this already in class, meaning

00:24:54 --> 00:24:58

that an intellectual person will thank Allah subhanahu

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

wa ta'ala at the beginning of the

00:24:59 --> 00:25:02

test, knowing that when he will see the

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

results of the test, that he will thank

00:25:04 --> 00:25:05

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala anyway.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:07

And this is what fools do at the

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

end of the test, like, oh Rabbi, I

00:25:09 --> 00:25:09

didn't know.

00:25:09 --> 00:25:10

If I would have known, I wouldn't have

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

yelled.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:12

I wouldn't have said, Ya Rabbi, why me?

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

Ya Rabbi, leave me alone.

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

Ya Rabbi, it's always the same.

00:25:15 --> 00:25:16

I'm the victim of life.

00:25:17 --> 00:25:17

You see?

00:25:18 --> 00:25:22

So, al-Sabr, comes from the root letters

00:25:22 --> 00:25:27

Sa, Ba, Saad, Ba, Ra and it means

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

حبس النفس, الحبس, and this is why we

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

call prison, for example.

00:25:31 --> 00:25:35

We also call it حبس, يعني يحبس, it

00:25:35 --> 00:25:38

stops him, it stops him from doing something.

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

So when it comes down to the human

00:25:42 --> 00:25:46

being, we say that he needs patience for

00:25:46 --> 00:25:47

two things.

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

يعني صبر, we need Sabr for two things,

00:26:21 --> 00:26:24

for the قدر of Allah, the decisions which

00:26:24 --> 00:26:26

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes in our

00:26:26 --> 00:26:30

lives, which please us and the ones that

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

displease us and also in the Ahkam of

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

the Shara'a, in the rulings of the

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

Sharia and it can be divided into four

00:26:39 --> 00:26:45

categories being anger, patience, contentment, and gratitude.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

Okay, and this is what we are going

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

to explain with the will of Allah subhanahu

00:26:49 --> 00:26:49

wa ta'ala.

00:26:50 --> 00:26:54

So we are in need of patience, يعني

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

in the أقدار الله but also على أحكام

00:26:56 --> 00:27:00

الله, يعني على أحكام الله meaning the rules

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

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

Why are we in need of patience?

00:27:04 --> 00:27:08

Well, because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala يحكم

00:27:08 --> 00:27:10

ما يريد This is the first thing we

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

need to know, like Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:27:12 --> 00:27:15

'ala says in the Quran, يعني that Allah

00:27:15 --> 00:27:19

يحكم ما يريد Allah decides and commands and

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

forbids whatever He likes.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

That's to start with.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

And this is why we say that Allah

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

subhanahu wa ta'ala He does what He

00:27:27 --> 00:27:30

wants and we don't even need to look

00:27:30 --> 00:27:34

for a wisdom behind it.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

We know that there is wisdom and the

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

only reason why we look for the wisdom

00:27:38 --> 00:27:42

behind rulings is for us to either calm

00:27:42 --> 00:27:44

down people to say like, okay, I know

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

it's difficult, but that's the ruling and that's

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

the wisdom behind it.

00:27:48 --> 00:27:52

Or either because we want to explore the

00:27:52 --> 00:27:56

divine favor and the divine power.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

So you look at the أحكم الله Allahu

00:27:58 --> 00:27:58

Akbar.

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

Allahu Allah.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:03

This is really beautiful.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

This is and so forth.

00:28:04 --> 00:28:07

But in reality today people are in need

00:28:07 --> 00:28:12

for knowing the wisdom behind the divine commandments

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

because they doubt.

00:28:14 --> 00:28:15

They doubt.

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

They say, I don't see how this works.

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

They say, I don't see how this can

00:28:20 --> 00:28:20

be justice.

00:28:21 --> 00:28:22

I don't see how this can be this

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

and that.

00:28:23 --> 00:28:26

So we do this to help these people

00:28:26 --> 00:28:30

stopping from doubting and to submit to Allah

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

But as I said, we need patience in

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

the أحكم الله and the قضاء الله.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:38

Why is this?

00:28:38 --> 00:28:41

Well, because being a Muslim is not easy

00:28:41 --> 00:28:44

and this is sometimes what they don't tell

00:28:44 --> 00:28:44

you.

00:28:44 --> 00:28:48

They tell you like, okay, it's all beautiful.

00:28:48 --> 00:28:55

It's all shiny, happy, flower power and everything

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

is easy and that's not true.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:03

There is تكليف, there is a burden in

00:29:03 --> 00:29:05

worship, but not a burden that we can't

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

carry and this is sometimes where people feel

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

bad when they feel or experience their worship

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

being a burden.

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

They think that they are bad Muslims, which

00:29:14 --> 00:29:15

isn't the case.

00:29:16 --> 00:29:19

I mean, you do it and you are

00:29:19 --> 00:29:25

between القبض والبسط, between being at ease and

00:29:25 --> 00:29:33

being tense, religiously, spiritually, emotionally, physically and sometimes,

00:29:33 --> 00:29:36

yes, you feel it as a burden, but

00:29:36 --> 00:29:37

not a burden you don't want to carry.

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

You see, it's not something you don't want

00:29:40 --> 00:29:41

to do because you know why you do

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

it, but like waking up for Fajr sometimes

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

can be difficult.

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

You say like, I would like to stay

00:29:46 --> 00:29:49

in bed and then you get up anyway.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

You say, oh fasting today.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:55

You wake up, you say, oh, is it

00:29:55 --> 00:29:55

30 days?

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

I was hoping for 29 days of Ramadan

00:29:58 --> 00:30:01

and then you think like, okay, I'm a

00:30:01 --> 00:30:01

bad Muslim.

00:30:02 --> 00:30:03

You're not.

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

This is exactly it.

00:30:05 --> 00:30:06

You are not.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:10

The fact that you are struggling, the fact

00:30:10 --> 00:30:14

that you are experiencing it as a burden

00:30:14 --> 00:30:18

and something heavy, but that you are still

00:30:18 --> 00:30:21

choosing to do it and go against your

00:30:21 --> 00:30:24

gut feeling at that particular moment is the

00:30:24 --> 00:30:26

very proof that you're a strong believer.

00:30:27 --> 00:30:30

You see, but shaitan with his psychology wants

00:30:30 --> 00:30:33

to make you believe the opposite, that you

00:30:33 --> 00:30:36

are not good now because I should love

00:30:36 --> 00:30:36

Allah.

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

This has nothing to do with love.

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

The fact that you feel it as a

00:30:40 --> 00:30:41

burden and that you do it is a

00:30:41 --> 00:30:42

fact that you love him.

00:30:43 --> 00:30:44

That's the very proof.

00:30:44 --> 00:30:46

And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

wa sallam has said that the highest degrees

00:30:48 --> 00:30:52

in Paradise, in one of them, he said,

00:30:52 --> 00:31:01

is that someone performs the wudu

00:31:01 --> 00:31:04

while he dislikes it.

00:31:04 --> 00:31:06

What does he dislike?

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

Getting out of bed, using cold water or

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

even hot water when you are feeling cold

00:31:11 --> 00:31:15

in a cold winter morning after Fajr, you

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

know, when the only thing you want to

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

escape from under the blankets is the tip

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

of your nose, that kind of cold.

00:31:22 --> 00:31:29

He said, that you perform wudu when it

00:31:29 --> 00:31:31

is makrooh to you, that you dislike it

00:31:31 --> 00:31:32

from a linguistic point of view.

00:31:33 --> 00:31:35

And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

wa sallam said, there are two people with

00:31:37 --> 00:31:40

whom Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is pleased.

00:31:41 --> 00:31:42

There are many but he mentioned these two

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

because they're special and one of them he

00:31:44 --> 00:31:57

said, He

00:31:57 --> 00:31:59

said a man and this can be a

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

woman, a man or a woman who wakes

00:32:02 --> 00:32:08

up during a cold night, away from his

00:32:08 --> 00:32:13

blanket, away from his cushion, performing the wudu

00:32:13 --> 00:32:14

and praying two rakat.

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is pleased with

00:32:17 --> 00:32:17

that person.

00:32:17 --> 00:32:18

Why?

00:32:18 --> 00:32:20

Because everything in this person wants to say,

00:32:20 --> 00:32:20

stay in bed.

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

I mean, we are humans.

00:32:22 --> 00:32:26

We have our soul, but we also have

00:32:26 --> 00:32:27

our body.

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

And our body is the means, the instrument,

00:32:31 --> 00:32:33

which is used by the soul.

00:32:34 --> 00:32:36

And we have needs, the need of sleeping,

00:32:36 --> 00:32:37

the need of rest.

00:32:38 --> 00:32:40

We have wants, the desires of the ego,

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

which are not always haram, the desire to

00:32:42 --> 00:32:46

eat biryani rice, the desire to stay in

00:32:46 --> 00:32:46

bed.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:49

So don't be too harsh on yourself.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:51

You know, don't be too harsh.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

And if one day you say like you

00:32:53 --> 00:32:57

can't go to the mosque, for example, just

00:32:57 --> 00:33:00

put your alarm clock on time that you

00:33:00 --> 00:33:02

pray before the sun has risen and then

00:33:02 --> 00:33:04

don't feel bad as long as you pray

00:33:04 --> 00:33:08

between the two times, then you're still being

00:33:08 --> 00:33:09

a very good Muslim.

00:33:10 --> 00:33:14

So please, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

00:33:14 --> 00:33:14

a saboor.

00:33:15 --> 00:33:16

He's a saboor.

00:33:16 --> 00:33:18

He knows how weak we are.

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

He explained how weak we are.

00:33:21 --> 00:33:25

And He says Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:33:26 --> 00:33:29

the human being was created as a weak

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

thing.

00:33:31 --> 00:33:34

Look how weak we were, subhanAllah, before even

00:33:34 --> 00:33:38

having our bones, our flesh and our nails

00:33:38 --> 00:33:38

and our hair.

00:33:39 --> 00:33:42

You know, we came out of something watery,

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

a watery liquid, nothing.

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

We weren't visible for the naked eye.

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

And here we are, a meter 20, 30,

00:33:50 --> 00:33:55

40, 50, 60, 80, flying planes, driving cars,

00:33:56 --> 00:33:57

building buildings.

00:33:58 --> 00:34:00

I mean, this is incredible, ya Rabbi.

00:34:01 --> 00:34:03

He's a saboor subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:34:04 --> 00:34:08

And saboor also means that one takes time.

00:34:09 --> 00:34:11

And we will get back to that, to

00:34:11 --> 00:34:12

taking time.

00:34:12 --> 00:34:17

So we are in need of patience in

00:34:17 --> 00:34:21

the aqdaar illahi, in the divine decisions in

00:34:21 --> 00:34:24

our lives, but also in, as I said,

00:34:25 --> 00:34:26

the rules, the rulings.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

And look at how patient Allah is with

00:34:28 --> 00:34:29

us.

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

You know, He deserves everything.

00:34:31 --> 00:34:35

He deserves every second of our dedication and

00:34:35 --> 00:34:35

devotion.

00:34:36 --> 00:34:37

And He says five times a day is

00:34:37 --> 00:34:39

sufficient, subhanAllah.

00:34:39 --> 00:34:45

I mean, He deserves, I mean, every single,

00:34:45 --> 00:34:47

even, you know, when the Prophet alaihissalaatu wasalaam

00:34:47 --> 00:34:52

went to, I mean, to receive the salah,

00:34:52 --> 00:34:55

it were 50 in number, 50.

00:34:55 --> 00:34:57

But every time when he came, he went

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

back and Musa alaihissalaam told him, go back,

00:34:59 --> 00:35:00

go back, go back until it became 10.

00:35:01 --> 00:35:03

And then it became five.

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

And then he didn't even say, salallahu alaihi

00:35:05 --> 00:35:06

wasalaam, okay, it's just five.

00:35:06 --> 00:35:09

No, it are five and the reward for

00:35:09 --> 00:35:10

each one of them is 10.

00:35:10 --> 00:35:13

So there are five in practice, 10, they

00:35:13 --> 00:35:16

are 50 in reward, subhanAllah.

00:35:16 --> 00:35:18

So at the beginning, there were 50 prayers.

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

Look at the sabr of Allah jalla wa

00:35:20 --> 00:35:20

ala.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

The Prophet salallahu alaihi wasalaam is coming back

00:35:22 --> 00:35:23

all the time.

00:35:24 --> 00:35:26

So and then Allah didn't just say, you

00:35:26 --> 00:35:26

know what?

00:35:26 --> 00:35:27

Okay, it's five.

00:35:28 --> 00:35:30

No, He said it is five in number.

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

It is 50 in reward.

00:35:34 --> 00:35:35

This is patience.

00:35:35 --> 00:35:38

And His patience is that He might actually

00:35:38 --> 00:35:42

give you something better after being angry with

00:35:42 --> 00:35:43

you.

00:35:44 --> 00:35:48

And how often did we subhanAllah, break our

00:35:48 --> 00:35:50

promise with Allah jalla wa ala.

00:35:50 --> 00:35:51

We broke our promise.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:54

We said, Ya Rabbi, never again.

00:35:54 --> 00:35:56

I promise you, Ya Rabbi, I will never

00:35:56 --> 00:35:58

do something bad again.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

And then without you knowing it, all of

00:36:01 --> 00:36:04

a sudden, you do it again.

00:36:05 --> 00:36:08

And then Allah subhanAllah doesn't just put you

00:36:08 --> 00:36:14

in your spiritual grave, kills your soul, and

00:36:14 --> 00:36:16

lets you alone with your ego, and the

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

shayateen dancing around that spiritual grave.

00:36:19 --> 00:36:21

No, He takes you out of the grave

00:36:21 --> 00:36:24

and revives you, revives your soul in your

00:36:24 --> 00:36:26

body exactly as He will revive your soul

00:36:26 --> 00:36:28

from your grave, Ya Mulkiyamah.

00:36:30 --> 00:36:33

How, what kind of a sabr is this?

00:36:35 --> 00:36:36

It's a divine one.

00:36:36 --> 00:36:38

I mean, if I call someone three, four,

00:36:38 --> 00:36:42

five, six, seven times, done, sorry, I'm not

00:36:42 --> 00:36:43

going to call you anymore.

00:36:44 --> 00:36:45

You remind somebody not to do something and

00:36:45 --> 00:36:46

he falls.

00:36:46 --> 00:36:48

Okay, you help him again, falls, you help

00:36:48 --> 00:36:49

him again, falls, you help him again.

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

Then you say, sorry, I can't help you.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:52

I can't.

00:36:54 --> 00:36:57

Allah, yes, you fall, He picks you up.

00:36:57 --> 00:36:58

You fall, He picks you up.

00:36:59 --> 00:37:00

You fall, He picks you up.

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

Fall, pick, fall, pick, fall, pick, it keeps

00:37:02 --> 00:37:03

on going.

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has said

00:37:06 --> 00:37:09

about this man who committed a sin and

00:37:09 --> 00:37:14

fataba ilallahi and he said, he performed, he

00:37:14 --> 00:37:16

repented to Allah and said never again, Ya

00:37:16 --> 00:37:18

Rabbi, and he did again, fataba min jadeed,

00:37:18 --> 00:37:22

he performed tawba again and fell into the

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

sin again until Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:37:24 --> 00:37:25

said, do what you do.

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

I will keep on forgiving you whatever you

00:37:28 --> 00:37:30

do because I have a slave who knows

00:37:30 --> 00:37:31

that his Lord is forgiving.

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

But of course Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:37:33 --> 00:37:35

didn't tell this to this person.

00:37:35 --> 00:37:37

This is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

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

told these angels because we don't know, maybe

00:37:41 --> 00:37:45

we will not be from those who Allah

00:37:45 --> 00:37:46

subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive every time

00:37:46 --> 00:37:47

all over again.

00:37:47 --> 00:37:50

But we know that it exists and this

00:37:50 --> 00:37:51

is why we don't count it.

00:37:51 --> 00:37:53

We don't try it because we don't know

00:37:53 --> 00:37:57

what our downfall will be, what the eventual

00:37:57 --> 00:38:00

sin or moment will be where we decided

00:38:00 --> 00:38:02

to turn our backs to Allah jalla wa

00:38:02 --> 00:38:06

a'la which will lead to our spiritual

00:38:06 --> 00:38:07

and religious downfall.

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

How many a man or how many a

00:38:10 --> 00:38:12

woman thought that they would never leave deen

00:38:13 --> 00:38:18

or thought that they would never weaken in

00:38:18 --> 00:38:22

their faith but there they are doing things

00:38:22 --> 00:38:26

that yesterday they were thinking about as being

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

one of the most disliked things on the

00:38:28 --> 00:38:28

face of the earth.

00:38:30 --> 00:38:32

There they are declaring this haram today and

00:38:32 --> 00:38:34

tomorrow they are doing it or even worse.

00:38:34 --> 00:38:37

So we don't know and that's why we

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

don't try.

00:38:38 --> 00:38:40

We don't know and that's why we don't

00:38:40 --> 00:38:40

try.

00:38:41 --> 00:38:43

We rather ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:38:43 --> 00:38:47

to grant us the sabr.

00:38:48 --> 00:38:50

Sabr as I said in the ahkamillah.

00:38:51 --> 00:38:53

Sabr, to do the faraid, you are in

00:38:53 --> 00:38:54

need of sabr.

00:38:54 --> 00:38:56

And to stay away from haram, you are

00:38:56 --> 00:38:57

in need of sabr.

00:38:57 --> 00:39:01

And all of this circles around the ahkamillah,

00:39:01 --> 00:39:03

the rules of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:39:04 --> 00:39:05

Who said that wearing a hijab is easy?

00:39:06 --> 00:39:08

And sometimes people feel bad to say I

00:39:08 --> 00:39:10

think it's quite difficult.

00:39:10 --> 00:39:14

But I do it because one, it's obligatory

00:39:14 --> 00:39:18

and two, because I want to serve my

00:39:18 --> 00:39:18

Lord.

00:39:19 --> 00:39:21

And is it easy?

00:39:21 --> 00:39:23

They say no, it's very easy even when

00:39:23 --> 00:39:24

it's very warm, I don't feel anything.

00:39:25 --> 00:39:29

We try to sometimes depict a picture which

00:39:29 --> 00:39:31

is not conformed to the truth.

00:39:32 --> 00:39:34

While Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when he

00:39:34 --> 00:39:36

was asked about khamr in the Qur'an

00:39:36 --> 00:39:38

in surat al-Baqarah Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:39:38 --> 00:39:41

'ala is asked about what?

00:39:41 --> 00:39:42

About khamr.

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

He says that Prophet Ali s.a.w.

00:39:45 --> 00:39:47

is asked, يَسَأْلُونَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ They ask

00:39:47 --> 00:39:49

you about alcohol and gambling.

00:39:50 --> 00:39:51

Now listen carefully.

00:39:51 --> 00:39:53

You would expect in the Qur'an to

00:39:53 --> 00:39:58

say it's pure evil, no benefit is connected

00:39:58 --> 00:40:01

to it, so don't do it.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:05

Qur'an says, قُلْ فِيهِ مَا إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ

00:40:05 --> 00:40:08

There are a lot, a lot of sins

00:40:08 --> 00:40:11

connected to alcohol and a lot of corruption

00:40:11 --> 00:40:15

and a lot of criminality connected to alcohol

00:40:16 --> 00:40:18

and gambling.

00:40:19 --> 00:40:23

قُلْ فِيهِ مَا إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَا نَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ

00:40:24 --> 00:40:27

And beneficial things for people.

00:40:27 --> 00:40:30

وَمَا نَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ And you like making money.

00:40:30 --> 00:40:32

Like maybe somebody living in a very cold

00:40:32 --> 00:40:35

area, like when he drinks a vodka that

00:40:35 --> 00:40:37

all of a sudden he feels warm on

00:40:37 --> 00:40:37

the inside.

00:40:38 --> 00:40:41

So yes, there might be beneficial things.

00:40:41 --> 00:40:44

For people for example, putting them to sleep

00:40:44 --> 00:40:46

before an operation for example, back in the

00:40:46 --> 00:40:46

days.

00:40:47 --> 00:40:50

قُلْ فِيهِ مَا إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَا نَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

But, then Allah makes it clear.

00:40:53 --> 00:40:59

إِثْمُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِن نَفْعِهِمَا But the criminalities and

00:40:59 --> 00:41:03

the evil which is connected to is larger

00:41:03 --> 00:41:06

in number, far larger in number than the

00:41:06 --> 00:41:09

small tiny little benefits that you will receive

00:41:09 --> 00:41:10

from them.

00:41:10 --> 00:41:12

And this is the reason why it is

00:41:12 --> 00:41:12

haram.

00:41:12 --> 00:41:15

So when people maybe ask a sister for

00:41:15 --> 00:41:17

example, is it easy to wear the hijab?

00:41:19 --> 00:41:20

Maybe some will say yes and they mean

00:41:20 --> 00:41:20

yes.

00:41:21 --> 00:41:23

Some might not even experience a problem and

00:41:23 --> 00:41:24

others say to be quite frank, it's not

00:41:24 --> 00:41:25

very easy.

00:41:25 --> 00:41:28

You know, especially when I have the little

00:41:28 --> 00:41:31

baby, he's 7 months old and when I'm

00:41:31 --> 00:41:35

feeding him, he just pulls my hijab and

00:41:35 --> 00:41:37

then it comes in front of my eyes

00:41:37 --> 00:41:38

and then I need to do it all

00:41:38 --> 00:41:38

over again.

00:41:39 --> 00:41:39

Just saying something.

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

There might be inconveniences and acknowledging that behind

00:41:47 --> 00:41:53

some of the things are inconveniences is just

00:41:53 --> 00:41:56

a part of what Allah SWT said in

00:41:56 --> 00:41:57

the Qur'an.

00:41:57 --> 00:42:00

So there once again, when someone asks you,

00:42:00 --> 00:42:02

and for example you find it difficult, isn't

00:42:02 --> 00:42:03

your hijab warm?

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

And believe me, people without hijab they say

00:42:05 --> 00:42:07

and without large clothing and white clothing, they

00:42:07 --> 00:42:08

are much hotter.

00:42:08 --> 00:42:13

They feel the heat much more than other

00:42:13 --> 00:42:13

people.

00:42:14 --> 00:42:17

I don't know the exact word how you

00:42:17 --> 00:42:20

say, but they feel the heat much more.

00:42:20 --> 00:42:21

You see?

00:42:21 --> 00:42:24

So if they say it, you can say,

00:42:25 --> 00:42:26

yes it is.

00:42:28 --> 00:42:30

But when the people didn't want to follow

00:42:30 --> 00:42:33

the Prophet SAW when they needed to defend

00:42:33 --> 00:42:37

their community, they said it is very warm.

00:42:38 --> 00:42:42

And Allah SWT said, the fire is the

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

fire is warmer.

00:42:45 --> 00:42:47

Hellfire is warmer.

00:42:47 --> 00:42:49

So yes it's warm, but it's an inconvenience,

00:42:49 --> 00:42:54

but the inconvenience of not doing it, and

00:42:54 --> 00:42:56

when I weigh this on the balance with

00:42:56 --> 00:42:58

the benefits I would get out of not

00:42:58 --> 00:43:01

wearing it, well then I know why I'm

00:43:01 --> 00:43:02

making this choice.

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

And this would be the same with all

00:43:04 --> 00:43:05

the forms of worship.

00:43:05 --> 00:43:08

So we are in need of patience when

00:43:08 --> 00:43:12

we do these things, and knowing that we

00:43:12 --> 00:43:17

might sometimes experience an inconvenience or doesn't make

00:43:17 --> 00:43:20

us bad Muslims, it's just a correct observation,

00:43:20 --> 00:43:23

but once again you look at the results

00:43:23 --> 00:43:26

of doing or not doing something, and this

00:43:26 --> 00:43:29

is where you know whether something is good,

00:43:29 --> 00:43:30

or something is bad.

00:43:31 --> 00:43:34

So we are in need as talking about

00:43:34 --> 00:43:37

saboor, and because Allah SWT is the saboor,

00:43:38 --> 00:43:42

even in His ahkan, there where He tells

00:43:42 --> 00:43:44

us to be worshipped, He is always giving

00:43:44 --> 00:43:45

us exceptions.

00:43:46 --> 00:43:48

Like ok, you are not allowed to drink

00:43:48 --> 00:43:51

alcohol, you are not allowed to eat from

00:43:51 --> 00:43:56

dead animals, meaning not being slaughtered, or having

00:43:56 --> 00:43:58

diet, and you are not allowed to eat

00:43:58 --> 00:43:58

pork.

00:43:59 --> 00:44:01

But then when you are on a dangerous

00:44:01 --> 00:44:06

journey, meaning a journey where you are endangered,

00:44:06 --> 00:44:08

you think you are about to die if

00:44:08 --> 00:44:10

you don't eat or drink, that which is

00:44:10 --> 00:44:13

available at that particular moment, let's say that

00:44:13 --> 00:44:15

you fly a plane, or you are in

00:44:15 --> 00:44:16

a plane, the plane crashes somewhere in the

00:44:16 --> 00:44:20

middle of nowhere, in the rain forest, it

00:44:20 --> 00:44:22

will take a lot of time before they

00:44:22 --> 00:44:25

find you, and the only thing you find

00:44:25 --> 00:44:29

is when the plane crashes is alcohol and

00:44:29 --> 00:44:29

pork.

00:44:30 --> 00:44:32

That's the only thing, it sounds quite strange,

00:44:32 --> 00:44:33

I think there are more things, but let

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

us imagine.

00:44:34 --> 00:44:39

Then now, you are allowed to take from

00:44:39 --> 00:44:43

it, غير باغ ولا عاد, فلا إثنى عليه.

00:44:43 --> 00:44:47

Meaning that you will not do it because

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

you like to do, to try it out.

00:44:49 --> 00:44:52

That's باغ, according to some mufasireen.

00:44:52 --> 00:44:54

They say ok, now there is wine, there

00:44:54 --> 00:44:57

is a beer, there is some vodka, there

00:44:57 --> 00:45:00

is some martini, so let me, now it's

00:45:00 --> 00:45:02

halal, so let me try it out.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:04

That is haram then.

00:45:04 --> 00:45:07

Your niyyah behind it now just made it

00:45:07 --> 00:45:07

haram for you.

00:45:08 --> 00:45:11

غير باغ, meaning you do not do it

00:45:11 --> 00:45:13

because you like now to transgress now that

00:45:13 --> 00:45:14

the opportunity has been given.

00:45:15 --> 00:45:15

So that's number one.

00:45:16 --> 00:45:18

ولا عاد, without exaggeration.

00:45:19 --> 00:45:22

Like ok, now it's halal, or temporarily allowed.

00:45:22 --> 00:45:27

So instead of drinking, you know, one cup,

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

instead of drinking one cup, I am going

00:45:30 --> 00:45:32

to drink two cups.

00:45:33 --> 00:45:36

No, you just need to do what you

00:45:36 --> 00:45:37

need, not only to stay in life, but

00:45:37 --> 00:45:38

to function.

00:45:39 --> 00:45:40

To stay in life and to function.

00:45:40 --> 00:45:43

So now, what you are going to do,

00:45:43 --> 00:45:45

you are going to look at the degrees

00:45:45 --> 00:45:48

of alcohol within these different beverages.

00:45:48 --> 00:45:52

So you have for example, whiskey, vodka, martini,

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

beer, all these things.

00:45:54 --> 00:45:57

Now you are not just allowed to drink

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

any bottle there.

00:45:59 --> 00:46:02

You will have to go for that which

00:46:02 --> 00:46:04

is least intoxicating.

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

That is the only one that is allowed

00:46:07 --> 00:46:08

for the time being.

00:46:09 --> 00:46:11

When that one is finished, it's the second

00:46:11 --> 00:46:12

lowest level.

00:46:12 --> 00:46:14

So you are not like, ok, now it's

00:46:14 --> 00:46:15

halal, just give me anything.

00:46:16 --> 00:46:18

غير باغ ولا عاد.

00:46:18 --> 00:46:21

Only then is there no itham.

00:46:21 --> 00:46:23

But nevertheless, this is Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:46:23 --> 00:46:28

'ala saboor, meaning, He is holding back, punishing

00:46:28 --> 00:46:32

you for something which is originally haram, because

00:46:32 --> 00:46:36

you are more important to Him than the

00:46:36 --> 00:46:39

basic ruling that we were worshipping Him through.

00:46:40 --> 00:46:40

Subhanallah.

00:46:42 --> 00:46:44

When you look at this, you say, Ya

00:46:44 --> 00:46:47

Rabbi, how majestic and generous is Allah.

00:46:48 --> 00:46:49

When you look at it, you just don't

00:46:49 --> 00:46:50

understand.

00:46:50 --> 00:46:52

When you look at this, you know that,

00:46:52 --> 00:46:54

ok, I am in good hands, figuratively speaking,

00:46:54 --> 00:46:55

I am in good hands.

00:46:56 --> 00:47:00

So this is not only with alcohol and

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

pork, it is also with so many other

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

things.

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

Like when you pray, you are on a

00:47:05 --> 00:47:08

journey, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, when

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

you are on a journey, there is nothing

00:47:09 --> 00:47:11

wrong with you to shorten your prayers.

00:47:11 --> 00:47:19

And that you combine between the prayers.

00:47:19 --> 00:47:21

That you combine between the prayers.

00:47:22 --> 00:47:25

According to the three madhabs.

00:47:25 --> 00:47:27

Not the Hanafi madhab, that you join the

00:47:27 --> 00:47:27

prayers.

00:47:28 --> 00:47:30

So, if you now are going to have

00:47:30 --> 00:47:33

a look, you see that everywhere where Allah

00:47:33 --> 00:47:36

subhanahu wa ta'ala is having a core

00:47:36 --> 00:47:41

rule, that Him being the saboor, He allows

00:47:41 --> 00:47:43

you then to do different things.

00:47:43 --> 00:47:44

You are sick?

00:47:49 --> 00:47:52

So let the one who is sick, let

00:47:52 --> 00:47:55

the one that is sick, or on a

00:47:55 --> 00:47:56

journey, let him what?

00:47:56 --> 00:47:58

Let him just make it up later.

00:47:59 --> 00:48:00

Let him make it up.

00:48:00 --> 00:48:04

Zakat, even when, it is the same with

00:48:04 --> 00:48:06

salah, you can't pray standing, sit.

00:48:06 --> 00:48:07

If you can't sit, then lay down.

00:48:07 --> 00:48:09

If you lay down and you can only

00:48:09 --> 00:48:12

move your eyes, or your eyebrows, then according

00:48:12 --> 00:48:14

to some fuqaha, you don't need to pray

00:48:14 --> 00:48:14

anymore.

00:48:14 --> 00:48:17

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, even in

00:48:17 --> 00:48:21

you testifying His oneness, when people threaten to

00:48:21 --> 00:48:23

kill you, you can say, I don't believe.

00:48:24 --> 00:48:28

Apart from the one that is forced, and

00:48:28 --> 00:48:30

His heart is filled with faith.

00:48:31 --> 00:48:33

So in all the rulings, where we need

00:48:33 --> 00:48:35

to have sabr, can't we have a bit

00:48:35 --> 00:48:39

of sabr in the core ruling, knowing that

00:48:39 --> 00:48:43

whenever we are in difficulty, that Allah will

00:48:43 --> 00:48:43

give us exceptions?

00:48:44 --> 00:48:45

Subhanallah.

00:48:46 --> 00:48:46

This is hajeeb.

00:48:47 --> 00:48:49

Just look at it, the ahkaam of Allah.

00:48:50 --> 00:48:52

Yani min laduna hakeemin aleem.

00:48:52 --> 00:48:55

These rules are from al hakeem al aleem.

00:48:55 --> 00:48:57

Hakeem, wise and aleem.

00:48:57 --> 00:48:58

He knows His creation.

00:48:59 --> 00:49:00

He knows what they need.

00:49:00 --> 00:49:01

He knows their weaknesses.

00:49:02 --> 00:49:05

So these ahkaam are not built to break

00:49:05 --> 00:49:07

you, they are built to make you, they

00:49:07 --> 00:49:09

are built to take you to a higher

00:49:09 --> 00:49:10

place.

00:49:10 --> 00:49:13

So in brief, I want you to reflect

00:49:13 --> 00:49:17

and ponder over this while we are going

00:49:17 --> 00:49:19

to have our short break inshaAllah.

00:49:20 --> 00:49:23

Jazakum Allah khairan, so go and grab a

00:49:23 --> 00:49:26

coffee, and I will be back in 5,

00:49:26 --> 00:49:29

maximum 10, but quicker inshaAllah, minutes.

00:49:29 --> 00:49:31

Jazakum Allah khairan, wa salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi

00:49:31 --> 00:49:31

wa barakatuh.

00:57:53 --> 00:57:55

Okay, salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

00:57:56 --> 00:58:01

I hope everybody is there, inshaAllah.

00:58:01 --> 00:58:03

So Khayyam, if you can let me know

00:58:03 --> 00:58:04

please.

00:58:10 --> 00:58:14

So I would like you to share some

00:58:14 --> 00:58:18

of the thoughts, and I don't know if

00:58:18 --> 00:58:20

you can, normally you are supposed to be

00:58:20 --> 00:58:23

able to do this on YouTube itself, you

00:58:23 --> 00:58:24

can write.

00:58:24 --> 00:58:26

Wa alaikum salam Mr. Khamid.

00:58:27 --> 00:58:29

So it would be nice if you share

00:58:29 --> 00:58:31

some of your points.

00:58:31 --> 00:58:32

So let us continue.

00:58:32 --> 00:58:39

So we said that we need to have

00:58:39 --> 00:58:42

sabr with the ahkam, and then we made

00:58:42 --> 00:58:47

some points very clear, the inconveniences and difficulties

00:58:47 --> 00:58:53

and experiencing a certain kind of burden when

00:58:53 --> 00:58:56

you worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala without

00:58:56 --> 00:58:58

detesting or disliking that burden.

00:58:58 --> 00:59:02

So you don't dislike worshipping Allah, but you

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

feel it's difficult to get out of your

00:59:03 --> 00:59:04

bed, that's a very different thing.

00:59:06 --> 00:59:09

You don't dislike worshipping Allah through sawm, but

00:59:09 --> 00:59:12

just today you are very tired and you

00:59:12 --> 00:59:14

feel that it's heavy upon you.

00:59:15 --> 00:59:16

This doesn't make you a bad Muslim.

00:59:17 --> 00:59:20

But when you have something, it's more the

00:59:20 --> 00:59:23

thing like, I'm tired, it's going to be

00:59:23 --> 00:59:24

difficult, but I'm going to do it anyway.

00:59:24 --> 00:59:26

So this is the sabr with the ahkam

00:59:26 --> 00:59:29

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the sabr you

00:59:29 --> 00:59:32

need to have with the rulings of Allah

00:59:32 --> 00:59:35

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:59:35 --> 00:59:37

Then when you continue, we said that we

00:59:37 --> 00:59:41

also need to be patient with Allah subhanahu

00:59:41 --> 00:59:45

wa ta'ala's choices in our lives, meaning

00:59:45 --> 00:59:49

either the choices that we like or the

00:59:49 --> 00:59:50

choices that we dislike.

00:59:52 --> 00:59:56

The choices that we dislike are usually the

00:59:56 --> 01:00:00

choices in life that are not convenient for

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

us or it is when Allah subhanahu wa

01:00:03 --> 01:00:04

ta'ala takes away something we like or

01:00:04 --> 01:00:07

puts us in a situation we don't like,

01:00:07 --> 01:00:08

we need patience.

01:00:09 --> 01:00:11

What we need to know is that everything

01:00:11 --> 01:00:14

which happens, which we did not choose for,

01:00:14 --> 01:00:16

is a divine education.

01:00:16 --> 01:00:19

Meaning that the situation that we do not

01:00:19 --> 01:00:23

create ourselves, meaning deliberately, like for example you

01:00:23 --> 01:00:25

have an associate partner, you have a partner,

01:00:25 --> 01:00:29

a business partner, and you've investigated, you saw

01:00:29 --> 01:00:34

that he was trustworthy, that he pays his

01:00:34 --> 01:00:37

bills on time, you checked everything, you didn't

01:00:37 --> 01:00:39

see anything suspicious, you asked the previous partner,

01:00:39 --> 01:00:42

he said no, I never experienced anything bad

01:00:42 --> 01:00:42

with him.

01:00:43 --> 01:00:45

So you did everything which you needed to

01:00:45 --> 01:00:46

do, then you get into business with him,

01:00:47 --> 01:00:48

and then all of a sudden you see

01:00:48 --> 01:00:52

that this person is actually a bad person

01:00:52 --> 01:00:54

and that he puts you in a lot

01:00:54 --> 01:00:58

of trouble and that he is the reason

01:00:58 --> 01:00:59

why all of a sudden you have debts

01:00:59 --> 01:01:01

in your life and so much more.

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

So now you're going to say, ok, this

01:01:03 --> 01:01:06

is Qadar Allah, this is Qadar Allah.

01:01:06 --> 01:01:09

But if you now don't investigate anything and

01:01:09 --> 01:01:11

you're just going to, yeah, I'm just going

01:01:11 --> 01:01:14

ahead and we will see what happens, then

01:01:14 --> 01:01:16

you can't just say that this is Allah

01:01:16 --> 01:01:19

educating you, this is the result of your

01:01:19 --> 01:01:19

choices.

01:01:19 --> 01:01:22

You can still learn something through it, but

01:01:22 --> 01:01:23

the barakah won't be the same.

01:01:24 --> 01:01:25

The barakah won't be the same.

01:01:25 --> 01:01:25

Why?

01:01:26 --> 01:01:30

Because it's the result of your lack of

01:01:30 --> 01:01:33

investigating things before starting with something.

01:01:33 --> 01:01:35

So this is where we need to make

01:01:35 --> 01:01:41

the difference between divine education and your personal

01:01:41 --> 01:01:42

choices.

01:01:42 --> 01:01:44

Divine education and your personal choices.

01:01:45 --> 01:01:47

Of course, everything falls under the will of

01:01:47 --> 01:01:50

Allah, which we know, but we also believe

01:01:50 --> 01:01:53

that we are being given by Allah this

01:01:53 --> 01:01:56

free will that we can use and the

01:01:56 --> 01:01:58

power to use a free will is God

01:01:58 --> 01:01:58

-given.

01:01:59 --> 01:02:00

So this is what is meant when Allah

01:02:00 --> 01:02:03

says in the Quran, وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

01:02:03 --> 01:02:06

And Allah has created you and He has

01:02:06 --> 01:02:10

created what you do وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

01:02:10 --> 01:02:13

He has created you and created what you

01:02:13 --> 01:02:13

do.

01:02:13 --> 01:02:13

Is that clear?

01:02:14 --> 01:02:17

So, patience with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

01:02:17 --> 01:02:21

with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's choices in

01:02:21 --> 01:02:22

our lives.

01:02:22 --> 01:02:24

And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

01:02:24 --> 01:02:26

wa sallam has said, put your trust in

01:02:26 --> 01:02:31

Allah وَلَا تَعْجَسْ and do not be unpowerful,

01:02:32 --> 01:02:38

do not be overmanned by laziness or incapacity

01:02:38 --> 01:02:38

or whatever.

01:02:39 --> 01:02:40

So, then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

01:02:40 --> 01:02:44

said, and if then something happens, then say

01:02:44 --> 01:02:46

قَدْرْ اللَّهَ مَا شَفَعَلْ It's Allah's choice.

01:02:46 --> 01:02:49

Only when you have taken your precautions.

01:02:50 --> 01:02:53

The same thing would come for example, many

01:02:53 --> 01:02:55

parents do this, they put their child in

01:02:55 --> 01:02:57

the back, they don't fasten the seatbelts, they

01:02:57 --> 01:03:01

say it's just to the bakery, in England

01:03:01 --> 01:03:02

they don't really go to the bakery.

01:03:03 --> 01:03:06

We're just going somewhere, just five minutes ride.

01:03:06 --> 01:03:09

And then all of a sudden, an accident,

01:03:10 --> 01:03:12

child flies through the front window and he's

01:03:12 --> 01:03:12

dead.

01:03:13 --> 01:03:15

Well, this is something you can't live with.

01:03:16 --> 01:03:17

This is something you can't live with.

01:03:17 --> 01:03:20

Or when you say, it's about to turn

01:03:20 --> 01:03:22

red, let me just try.

01:03:22 --> 01:03:25

Boom, accident, your partner dies, or is paralyzed

01:03:25 --> 01:03:26

for the rest of his life.

01:03:27 --> 01:03:29

Or you drive into someone that you don't

01:03:29 --> 01:03:30

know, you just killed the person.

01:03:31 --> 01:03:34

So, these are things where you now won't

01:03:34 --> 01:03:36

have the barakah, where you won't have the

01:03:36 --> 01:03:41

blessings of being able to how can I

01:03:41 --> 01:03:44

say, take away important life lessons.

01:03:44 --> 01:03:47

Usually, this will break you and you will

01:03:47 --> 01:03:50

be left behind on a field of in

01:03:50 --> 01:03:53

a field of disaster and in a well

01:03:53 --> 01:03:53

of despair.

01:03:54 --> 01:03:57

So, this is why we need to go

01:03:57 --> 01:04:02

by the ahkamillah, by the things that we

01:04:02 --> 01:04:04

know that Allah SWT likes and dislikes.

01:04:04 --> 01:04:05

And this is why I asked one of

01:04:05 --> 01:04:08

my teachers, I said, is passing a red

01:04:08 --> 01:04:11

light when you're driving, is it halal or

01:04:11 --> 01:04:12

haram?

01:04:12 --> 01:04:15

I had one teacher saying, well, Allah SWT

01:04:15 --> 01:04:16

doesn't talk about this.

01:04:17 --> 01:04:22

And another teacher said, well, we have the

01:04:22 --> 01:04:24

basic rulings, which are the guidelines of the

01:04:24 --> 01:04:25

shara.

01:04:25 --> 01:04:28

So, we don't need a dalil for every

01:04:28 --> 01:04:29

single little tiny thing.

01:04:30 --> 01:04:32

If this would have been the case, then

01:04:32 --> 01:04:35

Allah SWT would have revealed so much more.

01:04:36 --> 01:04:38

So, He gave us also these general guidelines

01:04:38 --> 01:04:49

and they say, the general guidelines are and

01:04:49 --> 01:04:49

so forth.

01:04:50 --> 01:04:56

So, Allah SWT says that He invites towards

01:04:56 --> 01:05:00

justice and towards favor and being good and

01:05:00 --> 01:05:02

being good to those who are near and

01:05:02 --> 01:05:03

close to you.

01:05:04 --> 01:05:10

And He made forbidden for you means that

01:05:10 --> 01:05:11

you transgress.

01:05:12 --> 01:05:16

So, everything which can be placed under the

01:05:16 --> 01:05:21

name transgressing or that which leads to transgression,

01:05:21 --> 01:05:23

then all of a sudden becomes haram.

01:05:23 --> 01:05:26

So, is passing the red light in the

01:05:26 --> 01:05:27

light of this haram?

01:05:28 --> 01:05:28

Yes.

01:05:28 --> 01:05:30

And that sounds very strange.

01:05:30 --> 01:05:33

But it is forbidden by law because of

01:05:33 --> 01:05:33

a reason.

01:05:34 --> 01:05:35

So, that would be the same thing.

01:05:35 --> 01:05:37

For example, you're driving and there's a curve.

01:05:38 --> 01:05:40

And all of a sudden you see these

01:05:40 --> 01:05:42

indications and it says in 30 miles an

01:05:42 --> 01:05:43

hour.

01:05:43 --> 01:05:44

It's on the M25.

01:05:45 --> 01:05:47

You go like this or 40 miles an

01:05:47 --> 01:05:47

hour.

01:05:47 --> 01:05:49

You say, I drive better than this.

01:05:50 --> 01:05:53

And you drive quicker, 70 miles an hour.

01:05:53 --> 01:05:55

And then all of a sudden your car

01:05:55 --> 01:05:55

slips.

01:05:56 --> 01:05:58

The reason why they put these indications is

01:05:58 --> 01:06:00

because you have people investigating it.

01:06:00 --> 01:06:04

People that base themselves on science and calculations.

01:06:04 --> 01:06:06

Not just people, oh, this curve looks quite

01:06:06 --> 01:06:09

yes, it's bending quite quite to the right,

01:06:09 --> 01:06:10

don't you think?

01:06:10 --> 01:06:11

Let us put a 30 on it.

01:06:12 --> 01:06:13

That's not how it works.

01:06:14 --> 01:06:16

This is what the people do.

01:06:16 --> 01:06:19

They do research and try to figure out

01:06:19 --> 01:06:19

what's best.

01:06:20 --> 01:06:24

So now, if you now drive quicker and

01:06:24 --> 01:06:27

you cause an accident, then in the eyes

01:06:27 --> 01:06:30

of Allah, you will not be the same

01:06:30 --> 01:06:33

as someone holding on to these speed limits

01:06:33 --> 01:06:35

and having caused the same accident.

01:06:36 --> 01:06:39

Because there you were living according to the

01:06:39 --> 01:06:40

rules of Allah.

01:06:41 --> 01:06:42

And there you were not.

01:06:43 --> 01:06:46

And also you yourself will now have a

01:06:46 --> 01:06:46

difference.

01:06:46 --> 01:06:49

You said, I really, I did everything right.

01:06:49 --> 01:06:50

I don't know how this happened.

01:06:51 --> 01:06:52

It's God's choice.

01:06:53 --> 01:06:56

But now when you were speaking you can't

01:06:56 --> 01:06:57

say the same thing.

01:06:57 --> 01:06:58

Why did I do this?

01:06:59 --> 01:07:00

And this is exactly what I mean.

01:07:01 --> 01:07:04

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala saboor jalla

01:07:04 --> 01:07:06

wa ala to now come back.

01:07:06 --> 01:07:09

We need to have sabr with aqdaarillah and

01:07:09 --> 01:07:12

now when I say the aqdaarillah I mean

01:07:12 --> 01:07:15

when you are overpowered meaning when you do

01:07:15 --> 01:07:17

everything right and it goes wrong.

01:07:17 --> 01:07:20

The problem is when everything goes right and

01:07:20 --> 01:07:23

it still goes wrong that people blame Allah.

01:07:24 --> 01:07:25

That's the other side of the story.

01:07:26 --> 01:07:28

So when you did everything right and now

01:07:28 --> 01:07:29

it goes wrong you say Ya Rabbi why?

01:07:31 --> 01:07:33

I did everything right Ya Rabbi.

01:07:33 --> 01:07:35

I did istikhara, what happens now?

01:07:35 --> 01:07:37

So this is where we need to have

01:07:37 --> 01:07:38

this sabr.

01:07:39 --> 01:07:41

Because it is like a tunnel you are

01:07:41 --> 01:07:43

going through and you don't know where you

01:07:43 --> 01:07:45

will come out but it will be better

01:07:45 --> 01:07:46

than the place you left but it's dark

01:07:46 --> 01:07:47

in the middle.

01:07:48 --> 01:07:51

So that's how I look at the divine

01:07:51 --> 01:07:55

tests and the calamities in our lives where

01:07:55 --> 01:07:57

we are overpowered meaning we were in the

01:07:57 --> 01:08:01

light of our actual lives and then all

01:08:01 --> 01:08:03

of a sudden we get into that tunnel

01:08:04 --> 01:08:06

where everything is difficult where it is narrow

01:08:06 --> 01:08:10

where it is dark where we even don't

01:08:10 --> 01:08:12

know what the destination is where we will

01:08:12 --> 01:08:14

get out of the tunnel but you need

01:08:14 --> 01:08:15

to know that when you get out of

01:08:15 --> 01:08:16

it it will be better.

01:08:17 --> 01:08:18

So this is why we need to have

01:08:18 --> 01:08:21

patience while we are in the tunnel because

01:08:21 --> 01:08:26

if you are not patient and you can't

01:08:26 --> 01:08:30

go back going back is impossible the things

01:08:30 --> 01:08:34

that psychologists say that very often drive people

01:08:34 --> 01:08:38

crazy is because they think about how things

01:08:38 --> 01:08:44

were and something which was is referred to

01:08:44 --> 01:08:48

as the past and you cannot recreate the

01:08:48 --> 01:08:53

past but you can create the future and

01:08:53 --> 01:08:54

this is by trying to make the future

01:08:54 --> 01:08:57

better than the past You see this?

01:08:57 --> 01:08:59

So don't be focused too much on this

01:08:59 --> 01:09:05

So the sabr with the tests and the

01:09:05 --> 01:09:08

predestination and the choices of Allah subhanahu wa

01:09:08 --> 01:09:10

ta'ala in our lives is one of

01:09:10 --> 01:09:11

the biggest challenges but Allah subhanahu wa ta

01:09:11 --> 01:09:15

'ala says in the Quran وَبَلَوْنَاهُمْ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَيِّئَاتِ

01:09:15 --> 01:09:19

لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ We have tested them with times

01:09:19 --> 01:09:22

of prosperity and times of despair and affliction

01:09:22 --> 01:09:25

so that they would either be through despair

01:09:25 --> 01:09:32

or through prosperity So the sabr with the

01:09:32 --> 01:09:35

predestination is that Now how are we going

01:09:35 --> 01:09:36

to find the sabr?

01:09:37 --> 01:09:40

How are we going to find patience to

01:09:40 --> 01:09:42

go through these events?

01:09:43 --> 01:09:45

Well Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells it

01:09:45 --> 01:09:47

and Ibn al-Qayyim made it very clear

01:09:47 --> 01:09:49

in his book Zad al-Ma'ad and

01:09:49 --> 01:09:52

it's all about إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ نَاجَعُونَ

01:09:53 --> 01:09:55

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ نَاجَعُونَ We are Allah's

01:09:55 --> 01:09:59

and we are returning to Allah So when

01:09:59 --> 01:10:01

you are going to try to understand this

01:10:01 --> 01:10:03

verse better You're going to see that it

01:10:03 --> 01:10:07

says We are Allah's and so meaning I

01:10:07 --> 01:10:11

belong to Allah, I am Allah's possession and

01:10:11 --> 01:10:14

I will return to Allah because I am

01:10:14 --> 01:10:18

His possession We are Allah's قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ

01:10:18 --> 01:10:23

الْمُلْكُ Say O Allah possessor of the Dominion

01:10:23 --> 01:10:29

and the Kingdom SubhanAllah So what you need

01:10:29 --> 01:10:33

to know is that your body is the

01:10:33 --> 01:10:37

instrument to your soul and your body wasn't

01:10:37 --> 01:10:40

given a soul your soul is given a

01:10:40 --> 01:10:48

body try to understand your body isn't given

01:10:48 --> 01:10:50

a soul your soul has been given a

01:10:50 --> 01:10:53

body you existed before your body and you

01:10:53 --> 01:10:57

will exist after your body SubhanAllah and this

01:10:57 --> 01:10:58

is why souls were created before bodies were

01:10:58 --> 01:11:00

created and the moment that the body was

01:11:00 --> 01:11:03

created for that particular soul to worship Allah

01:11:03 --> 01:11:08

there it is then that's manufactured now there

01:11:08 --> 01:11:12

you go soul is waiting you know and

01:11:12 --> 01:11:15

then the moment the souls are here the

01:11:15 --> 01:11:17

moment that body comes by ok this is

01:11:17 --> 01:11:21

yours tak tak tak tak so the bodies

01:11:21 --> 01:11:23

are there and this is why the Prophet

01:11:23 --> 01:11:26

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said arwah junudu mujannada that

01:11:26 --> 01:11:31

the souls they were in groups already before

01:11:31 --> 01:11:33

they were in this life so everybody who

01:11:33 --> 01:11:35

had to live in this life who were

01:11:35 --> 01:11:37

meant to meet one another to see one

01:11:37 --> 01:11:40

another to communicate and interact with one another

01:11:40 --> 01:11:43

they were given the bodies at the same

01:11:43 --> 01:11:45

time or in the same period of time

01:11:45 --> 01:11:48

so that their souls who met there will

01:11:48 --> 01:11:50

meet here the only thing is that we

01:11:50 --> 01:11:53

don't remember that has been erased from our

01:11:53 --> 01:11:57

minds we were there and this is why

01:11:57 --> 01:11:59

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam or this is

01:11:59 --> 01:12:00

why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says when

01:12:00 --> 01:12:03

we took the souls all the souls from

01:12:03 --> 01:12:05

Adam that would come out of Adam until

01:12:05 --> 01:12:08

the day of judgment wa ashhadahumu ala anfusihim

01:12:08 --> 01:12:12

and he made them testify as an argument

01:12:13 --> 01:12:15

for or against themselves alastu bi rabbikum am

01:12:15 --> 01:12:16

I not your Lord?

01:12:16 --> 01:12:19

qalu bala shahidna they will say verily yes

01:12:19 --> 01:12:22

you are our Lord we testify so our

01:12:22 --> 01:12:28

souls were active before our bodies were activated

01:12:29 --> 01:12:31

so you have an old soul my friend

01:12:32 --> 01:12:37

your existence is not these 20, 30, 40,

01:12:38 --> 01:12:41

50, 60, 70 more or less years you

01:12:41 --> 01:12:44

have a very old soul your soul was

01:12:44 --> 01:12:51

created 50,000 more subhanallah even before Adam

01:12:51 --> 01:12:54

was created when Adam was created your soul

01:12:54 --> 01:12:56

was taken out of Adam so now to

01:12:56 --> 01:13:00

make it very short so now these bodies

01:13:00 --> 01:13:04

are given to these to our souls so

01:13:04 --> 01:13:07

that our souls can function and the soul

01:13:07 --> 01:13:15

is a very spiritual transparent light featherweight something

01:13:15 --> 01:13:19

wanting to go upwards and the body is

01:13:19 --> 01:13:26

a very earthly heavy, dry solid material that

01:13:26 --> 01:13:28

wants to go back to what it is

01:13:28 --> 01:13:31

created from and this is why we are

01:13:31 --> 01:13:34

always between this and that the body wanting

01:13:34 --> 01:13:37

to go to be rooted in the world

01:13:37 --> 01:13:41

because that is where she is from and

01:13:41 --> 01:13:44

the soul wanting to connect to the divine

01:13:44 --> 01:13:47

because that is where she is from and

01:13:47 --> 01:13:54

in order to feed both of them we

01:13:54 --> 01:13:58

need to be in harmony because the soul

01:13:58 --> 01:14:02

yearns for Allah and the body yearns for

01:14:02 --> 01:14:05

worldly life so we need to feed the

01:14:05 --> 01:14:07

body in such a way and I don't

01:14:07 --> 01:14:11

mean just feeding food in such a way

01:14:11 --> 01:14:15

that it doesn't clash with the needs of

01:14:15 --> 01:14:18

the soul to fly away to connect to

01:14:18 --> 01:14:22

Allah and this is by using the face

01:14:22 --> 01:14:25

of the earth to do halal and when

01:14:25 --> 01:14:28

your body does halal your soul will shine

01:14:28 --> 01:14:32

and when your body does haram your soul

01:14:32 --> 01:14:36

will yearn and be in despair is that

01:14:36 --> 01:14:37

clear?

01:14:37 --> 01:14:39

and this is why when you go back

01:14:39 --> 01:14:42

to Allah Allah says يَا إِيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّ

01:14:42 --> 01:14:45

إِرْجِعِ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ سبحان الله O soul that

01:14:45 --> 01:14:48

comes at rest come back to your Lord

01:14:48 --> 01:14:51

it doesn't say go to your Lord إِرْجِعِ

01:14:51 --> 01:14:54

go back to Him what does that mean?

01:14:54 --> 01:14:56

you came from Him and you were in

01:14:56 --> 01:14:59

that body being stopped to go back to

01:14:59 --> 01:15:01

that which was the best time in your

01:15:01 --> 01:15:04

life which has been erased from your mind

01:15:04 --> 01:15:07

there where you were pure and where nothing

01:15:07 --> 01:15:10

haram was ever connected to your soul and

01:15:10 --> 01:15:13

this is why we see the faces of

01:15:13 --> 01:15:17

children shining we see the innocence on their

01:15:17 --> 01:15:21

faces we see their skin shining we see

01:15:21 --> 01:15:23

their eyes are alive the white of their

01:15:23 --> 01:15:26

eyes is whiter than snow why?

01:15:26 --> 01:15:29

because their soul and their body are still

01:15:29 --> 01:15:34

pure and then with our bodies we extinguish

01:15:34 --> 01:15:37

the light that was given to our soul

01:15:37 --> 01:15:41

and that then reflects on our faces on

01:15:41 --> 01:15:45

our behavior on our heaviness and everything so

01:15:45 --> 01:15:48

free your soul free your soul by staying

01:15:48 --> 01:15:50

away from haram and feeding your body only

01:15:50 --> 01:15:51

with the things Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

01:15:51 --> 01:15:59

likes so this because through this sabr and

01:15:59 --> 01:16:08

through the sabr you will find your happiness

01:16:09 --> 01:16:11

because that is where everything gets into place

01:16:11 --> 01:16:14

the body, the mind, the soul the emotions

01:16:14 --> 01:16:19

and everything do you have anything to ask?

01:16:19 --> 01:16:29

I can read here inshallah so

01:16:29 --> 01:16:31

if you have any questions I can read

01:16:31 --> 01:16:50

it if you write something ok, ask

01:16:50 --> 01:17:00

please the

01:17:00 --> 01:17:04

body is indeed Khalid where our nafs is

01:17:04 --> 01:17:08

derived from if we are speeding are we

01:17:08 --> 01:17:09

breaking Allah's law?

01:17:10 --> 01:17:14

we are breaking Allah's are we going against

01:17:14 --> 01:17:20

Allah's prescriptions of leading a good life you

01:17:20 --> 01:17:26

see what we should know is that if

01:17:26 --> 01:17:28

there were such a thing as an Islamic

01:17:28 --> 01:17:32

country like abiding by the laws of Islam

01:17:33 --> 01:17:36

then the qadi would also the people, the

01:17:36 --> 01:17:39

muftis would also set speed limits they would

01:17:39 --> 01:17:45

set speed limits and then it's not because

01:17:45 --> 01:17:48

a Muslim said them that they can be

01:17:48 --> 01:17:50

Islamic and when a non-Muslim says them

01:17:50 --> 01:17:53

that they are not Islamic a non-Muslim

01:17:53 --> 01:18:00

can judge things or impose things on people

01:18:00 --> 01:18:03

within the law which are in harmony with

01:18:03 --> 01:18:06

Islam so it is not because he or

01:18:06 --> 01:18:08

she who made that law or introduced the

01:18:08 --> 01:18:14

law or the parliament that decided this certain

01:18:14 --> 01:18:16

thing that all of a sudden oh no,

01:18:16 --> 01:18:18

it came from non-Muslims so it has

01:18:18 --> 01:18:20

nothing to do with what I need to

01:18:20 --> 01:18:22

adhere to it can be very well something

01:18:22 --> 01:18:25

Islamic if you understand what I mean so

01:18:25 --> 01:18:29

if an Islamic country would exist then they

01:18:29 --> 01:18:31

would also have speed limits but then we

01:18:31 --> 01:18:33

would say ok, it's in an Islamic country

01:18:33 --> 01:18:37

so everything here is Islam and for us

01:18:37 --> 01:18:44

the hikmah is that which the Muslim has

01:18:44 --> 01:18:48

lost and which he finds wherever it is

01:18:48 --> 01:18:50

is that clear?

01:18:51 --> 01:18:53

so to free our body and allow our

01:18:53 --> 01:18:55

soul to rise we should fast often and

01:18:55 --> 01:18:58

control our food intake no, what I was

01:18:58 --> 01:19:00

talking about I don't know if this is

01:19:00 --> 01:19:02

Khayyam himself what I was talking about Khayyam

01:19:02 --> 01:19:05

is feeding the body I meant not only

01:19:05 --> 01:19:07

with food I meant like feeding the eye

01:19:07 --> 01:19:10

feeding the ears feeding the nose feeding the

01:19:10 --> 01:19:16

mouth to only nourish our senses the five

01:19:16 --> 01:19:20

senses and the stomach as well with halal

01:19:20 --> 01:19:24

and when we do this then we will

01:19:24 --> 01:19:32

hear our soul then our body will our

01:19:32 --> 01:19:35

soul will use our body in a way

01:19:35 --> 01:19:38

that brings us closer to Allah SWT and

01:19:38 --> 01:19:40

if we do haram we are chaining coughing

01:19:40 --> 01:19:44

the soul and she cannot take us to

01:19:44 --> 01:19:46

Allah SWT and as I said the body

01:19:46 --> 01:19:48

is heavy and encrusted in the earth she

01:19:48 --> 01:19:51

only wants worldly things and the soul is

01:19:51 --> 01:19:55

light and wants to go upwards so that

01:19:55 --> 01:19:57

is what I was referring to does that

01:19:57 --> 01:19:57

make sense?

01:19:58 --> 01:20:10

Karima Foundation or Khayyam as

01:20:10 --> 01:20:12

a teacher the aspect of patience really resonated

01:20:12 --> 01:20:14

with me my students know when I am

01:20:14 --> 01:20:15

in a happy mood or in a bad

01:20:15 --> 01:20:17

mood I'm in a happy mood or in

01:20:17 --> 01:20:21

a bad mood however can I practice ihsan

01:20:21 --> 01:20:24

within being patient as a teacher of children

01:20:25 --> 01:20:31

okay so the thing is ihsan when you

01:20:31 --> 01:20:36

are in a position of power whatever it

01:20:36 --> 01:20:40

may be power meaning strength authority and so

01:20:40 --> 01:20:43

much more like a parent like a teacher

01:20:43 --> 01:20:48

then ihsan one should make the adal the

01:20:48 --> 01:20:52

rule justice the rule because the problem is

01:20:52 --> 01:20:54

if you are going to do the ihsan

01:20:54 --> 01:20:57

then people will no longer respect the adal

01:20:58 --> 01:21:01

so I think ihsan in these kind of

01:21:01 --> 01:21:04

things is an exception and is not the

01:21:04 --> 01:21:06

rule if you understand what I mean but

01:21:06 --> 01:21:09

being angry once again is not that which

01:21:09 --> 01:21:13

will push you to make decisions because your

01:21:13 --> 01:21:16

rules are already set so the ihsan is

01:21:16 --> 01:21:20

then also present in the adal by not

01:21:22 --> 01:21:26

by not what by not expressing your anger

01:21:26 --> 01:21:29

in a way that goes against your principles

01:21:29 --> 01:21:32

and that would be ihsan you see how

01:21:32 --> 01:21:35

can one manage anger well we can have

01:21:35 --> 01:21:37

a look at it from three different perspectives

01:21:38 --> 01:21:42

from three different perspectives from a religious one

01:21:42 --> 01:21:46

from a psychological one and from a physical

01:21:46 --> 01:21:50

one a religious one psychological one and a

01:21:50 --> 01:21:54

physical one when I mean a religious one

01:21:54 --> 01:21:56

well then all the ahadith where the prophet

01:21:56 --> 01:22:00

salallahu alayhi wa sallam or the religious one

01:22:00 --> 01:22:03

is like imam al ghazali rahimallah would refer

01:22:03 --> 01:22:07

to as knowing the causes the symptoms and

01:22:07 --> 01:22:10

the cure okay and this is what ihya

01:22:10 --> 01:22:11

ulum ad-din is about so I would

01:22:11 --> 01:22:13

advise you to read ihya ulum ad-din

01:22:13 --> 01:22:16

anger and it's in the chapter of the

01:22:16 --> 01:22:20

destroyers and so he talks about the causes

01:22:20 --> 01:22:23

the symptoms how to recognize and then on

01:22:23 --> 01:22:26

the other hand also what the means to

01:22:26 --> 01:22:29

get rid of it and the means according

01:22:29 --> 01:22:31

to imam al ghazali are always divided into

01:22:31 --> 01:22:36

two categories it is what a theoretical one

01:22:36 --> 01:22:39

and a practical one the theoretical one for

01:22:39 --> 01:22:41

example being look at Allah's anger and then

01:22:41 --> 01:22:44

compare your anger to his anger and aren't

01:22:44 --> 01:22:45

you in need of him not being angry

01:22:45 --> 01:22:49

with you so that would be an intellectual

01:22:49 --> 01:22:53

approach and then a practical approach would then

01:22:53 --> 01:22:54

be if you're angry you stand up go

01:22:54 --> 01:22:56

and sit and if you sit it doesn't

01:22:56 --> 01:23:01

work lay down say and so much more

01:23:01 --> 01:23:05

so that would be from a religious perspective

01:23:05 --> 01:23:08

then from a psychological perspective well there are

01:23:08 --> 01:23:11

many reasons why somebody can become angry it

01:23:11 --> 01:23:14

can be that his blueprint has been affected

01:23:14 --> 01:23:16

and his blueprint when he was still a

01:23:16 --> 01:23:17

baby until he's one and a half two

01:23:17 --> 01:23:21

years old where the blueprint is formed and

01:23:21 --> 01:23:23

made and that a person absorbs the impressions

01:23:23 --> 01:23:26

around him into his being and they become

01:23:26 --> 01:23:28

one with his being and this is why

01:23:28 --> 01:23:29

we say when you're young in the presence

01:23:29 --> 01:23:32

of a child the child maybe continues playing

01:23:32 --> 01:23:36

with his toys but he's absorbing it he

01:23:36 --> 01:23:43

is actually being transformed into a reflection of

01:23:43 --> 01:23:45

that what is going on it's like a

01:23:45 --> 01:23:47

sponge but he won't react like this but

01:23:47 --> 01:23:49

he's taking it with him so that can

01:23:49 --> 01:23:51

be one of the causes one of the

01:23:51 --> 01:23:53

causes can be stress one of the causes

01:23:53 --> 01:23:55

can be sadness one of the causes can

01:23:55 --> 01:23:58

be so many different things so from a

01:23:58 --> 01:24:00

psychological point of view there are also so

01:24:00 --> 01:24:02

many things going on so one needs to

01:24:02 --> 01:24:06

define what causes a person to be angry

01:24:06 --> 01:24:09

because anger is the result of something it's

01:24:09 --> 01:24:12

a symptom of something it is telling you

01:24:12 --> 01:24:17

that something is wrong so this is from

01:24:17 --> 01:24:19

a psychological point of view then from a

01:24:19 --> 01:24:21

physical point of view well it can be

01:24:21 --> 01:24:22

due to a lack of vitamins for example

01:24:23 --> 01:24:27

maybe someone is eating too much meat which

01:24:27 --> 01:24:29

might have this effect on that particular kind

01:24:29 --> 01:24:32

of person or too much rubbish which is

01:24:32 --> 01:24:36

in fast food or too much salt and

01:24:36 --> 01:24:38

this too much salt is leading to a

01:24:38 --> 01:24:41

high blood pressure and high blood pressure makes

01:24:41 --> 01:24:44

people angry very quickly so once again if

01:24:44 --> 01:24:46

someone wants to know how to get rid

01:24:46 --> 01:24:48

of his anger he needs to one look

01:24:48 --> 01:24:52

at the religious part of it meaning causes,

01:24:52 --> 01:24:57

symptoms and cure then from a psychological point

01:24:57 --> 01:25:03

of view to define to find out what

01:25:03 --> 01:25:05

is causing this person to become angry and

01:25:05 --> 01:25:08

that can sometimes be very deep if it's

01:25:08 --> 01:25:11

stress then you need to do things which

01:25:11 --> 01:25:15

take stress away if it's anger sorry if

01:25:15 --> 01:25:18

it is depression for example then you need

01:25:18 --> 01:25:20

to work on it so anger is always

01:25:20 --> 01:25:23

a symptom of something else it's a symptom

01:25:23 --> 01:25:26

of something else and then from a physical

01:25:26 --> 01:25:27

point of view then you need to do

01:25:27 --> 01:25:29

some blood tests to see what's going on

01:25:29 --> 01:25:32

high cholesterol whatever diabetes as well someone with

01:25:32 --> 01:25:37

diabetes too the moment his sugar levels pass

01:25:37 --> 01:25:41

13, 14, 15 he becomes agitated and stressed

01:25:41 --> 01:25:43

and if it's even higher he might explode

01:25:43 --> 01:25:46

into what we call a diabetical anger so

01:25:47 --> 01:25:51

the question is very important but to give

01:25:51 --> 01:25:54

an answer as you see is in need

01:25:54 --> 01:25:56

of sitting with the person and going over

01:25:56 --> 01:25:59

these three dimensions to be able to write

01:25:59 --> 01:26:03

down the diagnosis and a cure so this

01:26:03 --> 01:26:14

is how I look at it somebody

01:26:14 --> 01:26:14

else?

01:26:16 --> 01:26:22

as we are going over the questions you

01:26:22 --> 01:26:31

can keep on asking questions are there any

01:26:31 --> 01:26:31

other questions?

01:26:42 --> 01:26:43

was the answer clear?

01:26:43 --> 01:26:51

Calima Foundation what can we do when we

01:26:51 --> 01:26:54

are going into the tunnel of darkness and

01:26:54 --> 01:26:54

tests?

01:26:54 --> 01:26:57

how could you deal with stress?

01:26:58 --> 01:27:04

they say the most stressful things are divorce

01:27:05 --> 01:27:09

and moving and then they say the most

01:27:09 --> 01:27:13

stressful things are the small tiny stress factors

01:27:13 --> 01:27:16

in your life like you're always the same

01:27:16 --> 01:27:18

thing but I'm not going about that now

01:27:18 --> 01:27:21

because then we are going more into a

01:27:25 --> 01:27:28

I'm going to explain the four things which

01:27:28 --> 01:27:30

I need to explain today so you can

01:27:30 --> 01:27:32

ask other questions but as for the stress

01:27:32 --> 01:27:38

as I explained we are in need once

01:27:38 --> 01:27:39

again of these three things it always comes

01:27:39 --> 01:27:43

down to religious advice spiritual advice and physical

01:27:43 --> 01:27:46

advice meaning these three dimensions the spiritual one

01:27:46 --> 01:27:50

the psychological one and the physical one it's

01:27:50 --> 01:27:54

always like that okay so the last thing

01:27:54 --> 01:27:56

we said when we were explaining sabr is

01:27:56 --> 01:28:01

that we need to have sabr and then

01:28:01 --> 01:28:03

we said that these levels of sabr are

01:28:03 --> 01:28:06

divided into four categories the levels of sabr

01:28:06 --> 01:28:10

are divided into four categories and they are

01:28:10 --> 01:28:18

called sabr is the only part which is

01:28:18 --> 01:28:20

haram sabr according to all ulama and ahle

01:28:20 --> 01:28:24

sunnah is wajib it's something which is obligatory

01:28:24 --> 01:28:26

it's not a choice but what do we

01:28:26 --> 01:28:26

mean then?

01:28:27 --> 01:28:29

do we mean sabr means that I love

01:28:29 --> 01:28:30

everything which is going wrong in my life

01:28:30 --> 01:28:33

well if you're from the highest level yes

01:28:33 --> 01:28:36

if you're from the medium level sometimes if

01:28:36 --> 01:28:37

you're from the lowest level no and if

01:28:37 --> 01:28:41

you're from the very lowest level then definitely

01:28:41 --> 01:28:48

not so sabr is wajib is obligatory but

01:28:48 --> 01:28:54

the lowest level which is haram what's the

01:28:54 --> 01:28:56

limit of sabr for human beings?

01:28:56 --> 01:28:58

I think it would be good to rephrase

01:28:58 --> 01:29:01

this question because I don't understand the question

01:29:01 --> 01:29:04

100% I understand the words and the

01:29:04 --> 01:29:07

construction but what does the person mean?

01:29:08 --> 01:29:10

so try to rephrase it so the first

01:29:10 --> 01:29:13

one is at-tasakhut at-tasakhut with a

01:29:13 --> 01:29:16

sin-a-kha and a ta meaning anger

01:29:16 --> 01:29:21

displeasement that you're not pleased and this can

01:29:21 --> 01:29:29

be expressed in words in feelings and in

01:29:29 --> 01:29:35

actions meaning that you express your anger and

01:29:35 --> 01:29:38

you express the fact that you're displeased either

01:29:38 --> 01:29:42

by feeling it meaning you're angry with Allah

01:29:42 --> 01:29:49

or you say it or you do something

01:29:49 --> 01:29:52

like throwing a pen, hitting the wall and

01:29:52 --> 01:29:55

doing these kind of things so this would

01:29:55 --> 01:29:59

be haram so expressing anger with the decree

01:29:59 --> 01:30:04

of Allah expressing it in words or in

01:30:04 --> 01:30:09

feelings or in actions is haram okay?

01:30:09 --> 01:30:15

so as I said in deeds might be

01:30:15 --> 01:30:17

like hitting your own face like why?

01:30:17 --> 01:30:19

I don't know what people do I saw

01:30:19 --> 01:30:23

this once and I said that's quite interesting

01:30:23 --> 01:30:28

a person hitting himself or hitting no like

01:30:28 --> 01:30:32

on the or you know your horn in

01:30:32 --> 01:30:35

the car you call that the car horn

01:30:35 --> 01:30:41

so you go and you're in traffic jam

01:30:41 --> 01:30:42

and you don't like it so this would

01:30:42 --> 01:30:45

be an expression of anger which goes against

01:30:45 --> 01:30:49

sabr or talking to people like yeah I

01:30:49 --> 01:30:50

don't understand why there are so many planes

01:30:50 --> 01:30:54

taking off bombarding innocent people and there subhanallah

01:30:54 --> 01:30:57

I mean I take off to go just

01:30:57 --> 01:31:00

to visit my mother and what happens well

01:31:00 --> 01:31:04

I was held up for more than four

01:31:04 --> 01:31:06

hours and then I missed the plane and

01:31:06 --> 01:31:07

then now I can't go to my mother

01:31:07 --> 01:31:09

why are so many planes taking off doing

01:31:09 --> 01:31:11

bad things and my plane takes off and

01:31:11 --> 01:31:12

I just want to do a good thing

01:31:12 --> 01:31:13

you hear this?

01:31:14 --> 01:31:17

this is haram and this is the one

01:31:17 --> 01:31:19

where the majority of Muslims go wrong or

01:31:19 --> 01:31:22

where many Muslims go wrong and that part

01:31:22 --> 01:31:27

is that you complain by expressing your anger

01:31:27 --> 01:31:29

and your lack of contentment with Allah's decree

01:31:29 --> 01:31:35

in words that's number one and then actions

01:31:35 --> 01:31:38

was clear then we come to the first

01:31:38 --> 01:31:41

level of sabr the other one they included

01:31:41 --> 01:31:45

in the definition of sabr can human being

01:31:45 --> 01:31:47

fall outside of the limits of sabr with

01:31:47 --> 01:31:49

Allah and what are they?

01:31:49 --> 01:31:53

yes when you for example you're in need

01:31:53 --> 01:31:57

of money you're in need of money and

01:31:57 --> 01:32:01

you can't you don't find money and you

01:32:01 --> 01:32:05

steal money this is where you pass the

01:32:05 --> 01:32:10

limits meaning that your difficulty doesn't allow you

01:32:10 --> 01:32:12

to do haram if you do then you

01:32:12 --> 01:32:14

pass the limits is that clear?

01:32:14 --> 01:32:16

so it is more an action than it

01:32:16 --> 01:32:18

would be a feeling so the moment you're

01:32:18 --> 01:32:21

in the difficulty that you don't try to

01:32:21 --> 01:32:24

solve that difficulty through haram if you do

01:32:24 --> 01:32:27

then you have passed the limits if you're

01:32:27 --> 01:32:30

angry with Allah then according to some ulama

01:32:30 --> 01:32:32

this would be kufr right?

01:32:33 --> 01:32:35

this would be kufr but as people today

01:32:35 --> 01:32:39

many people are quite weak in their faith

01:32:39 --> 01:32:43

due to everything they absorb of their surroundings

01:32:43 --> 01:32:46

very often they say things they might even

01:32:46 --> 01:32:48

say things to Allah which they do not

01:32:48 --> 01:32:52

mean but because they're angry they say it

01:32:52 --> 01:32:53

anyway like Ya Rabbi why did you do

01:32:53 --> 01:32:54

this to me?

01:32:54 --> 01:33:00

this if meant said with aqidah the person

01:33:00 --> 01:33:04

this is kufr this is disbelief and it's

01:33:04 --> 01:33:05

a form of disbelief right?

01:33:06 --> 01:33:10

but some did qiyas with az-zawaj with

01:33:10 --> 01:33:14

marriage and talaq and divorce when someone is

01:33:14 --> 01:33:17

very angry and tells okay I have divorced

01:33:17 --> 01:33:24

you but he is overpowered by anger in

01:33:24 --> 01:33:26

such a way that he does not know

01:33:26 --> 01:33:28

what he is saying I'm not saying anything

01:33:28 --> 01:33:30

and nothing this is usually what people do

01:33:30 --> 01:33:33

when they're very angry you feel yourself saying

01:33:33 --> 01:33:35

things you say I shouldn't say this I

01:33:35 --> 01:33:36

shouldn't say this but then at a certain

01:33:36 --> 01:33:39

point you don't even remember what you are

01:33:39 --> 01:33:44

saying so the prophet said when a person

01:33:44 --> 01:33:47

is overpowered by his anger and doesn't know

01:33:47 --> 01:33:50

what he or she is saying then there

01:33:50 --> 01:33:52

is no talaq there is no talaq the

01:33:52 --> 01:33:54

ruling is that it is not considered to

01:33:54 --> 01:33:57

be talaq so now they did qiyas that

01:33:57 --> 01:33:58

means that it is the absence of the

01:33:58 --> 01:34:01

aql it's the absence of reason at that

01:34:01 --> 01:34:04

particular moment so that when a person were

01:34:04 --> 01:34:07

to say something like ya rabbi why did

01:34:07 --> 01:34:07

you do this to me?

01:34:07 --> 01:34:09

can't you do this to somebody else?

01:34:09 --> 01:34:12

that if it is said in anger which

01:34:12 --> 01:34:15

has overpowered him that this there would be

01:34:15 --> 01:34:20

an analogy that can be done with someone

01:34:20 --> 01:34:23

pronouncing the divorce meaning that it wouldn't count

01:34:23 --> 01:34:25

as kufr and that the person is still

01:34:25 --> 01:34:27

a muslim but he without any doubt is

01:34:27 --> 01:34:33

treading on a very dangerous path the same

01:34:33 --> 01:34:36

thing like the prophet s.a.w. are

01:34:36 --> 01:34:40

mentioning a man who had lost his camel

01:34:41 --> 01:34:46

which was carrying all his provisions and he

01:34:46 --> 01:34:48

said he laid himself down under a tree

01:34:48 --> 01:34:52

to die and expecting nothing but the face

01:34:52 --> 01:34:55

of death in front of him there his

01:34:55 --> 01:34:58

camel appeared in front of him with her

01:34:58 --> 01:35:00

face in front of his face and then

01:35:00 --> 01:35:04

he jumped up and he said o Allah

01:35:04 --> 01:35:07

you are my servant and I am your

01:35:07 --> 01:35:11

lord I mean if he were to believe

01:35:11 --> 01:35:15

this then he would be kafir but the

01:35:15 --> 01:35:20

emotion took over the emotion took over so

01:35:20 --> 01:35:24

the prophet s.a.w. said Allah is

01:35:24 --> 01:35:29

more pleased with someone's tawbah than that man

01:35:30 --> 01:35:32

Allah is more pleased and even though he

01:35:32 --> 01:35:34

said ya Allah you are my what you

01:35:34 --> 01:35:35

are my servant and I am your lord

01:35:35 --> 01:35:38

he was so happy that he didn't know

01:35:38 --> 01:35:41

what he was saying so now these words

01:35:41 --> 01:35:50

of kufr being steered and pushed by the

01:35:50 --> 01:35:53

absence of reason due to the happiness he

01:35:53 --> 01:35:56

was experiencing didn't lead him to be a

01:35:56 --> 01:35:58

kafir so that would be the same with

01:35:58 --> 01:36:00

anger if you understand what I mean but

01:36:00 --> 01:36:04

if it's a calculated saying there is reason

01:36:04 --> 01:36:05

not that you are out of your mind

01:36:06 --> 01:36:07

while you are saying it you know you

01:36:07 --> 01:36:09

are saying something bad then you need to

01:36:09 --> 01:36:12

do tawbah and that is kufr that is

01:36:12 --> 01:36:16

kufr without any doubt and that's the same

01:36:16 --> 01:36:17

with this man that the prophet s.a

01:36:17 --> 01:36:19

.w. said a man died and he told

01:36:19 --> 01:36:23

his family when I die then burn me

01:36:23 --> 01:36:29

and then spread a part of my ashes

01:36:29 --> 01:36:32

over the earth and another part of my

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

ashes over the sea because if Allah were

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

to if Allah were to be possible and

01:36:41 --> 01:36:43

if Allah were to have the capacity to

01:36:43 --> 01:36:47

revive me then he would definitely punish me

01:36:47 --> 01:36:50

so now these words are kufr when he

01:36:50 --> 01:36:52

died Allah s.w.t asked him why

01:36:52 --> 01:36:53

did you say this why did you do

01:36:53 --> 01:36:56

this he said out of fear for you

01:36:56 --> 01:36:58

my lord and he was so in fear

01:36:58 --> 01:37:00

of going back to Allah that he said

01:37:00 --> 01:37:03

no if Allah were to be capable of

01:37:03 --> 01:37:07

reviving me doubting this that is kufr but

01:37:07 --> 01:37:11

it was pushed by fear overtaking his reason

01:37:12 --> 01:37:15

so now we see that we if we

01:37:15 --> 01:37:18

want to save people from kufr that we

01:37:18 --> 01:37:21

are going to make analogy and we're going

01:37:21 --> 01:37:24

to say look yes you trespassed past the

01:37:24 --> 01:37:27

boundaries what you're saying is kufr but I

01:37:27 --> 01:37:28

do not declare you to be a kafir

01:37:28 --> 01:37:32

otherwise a lot of people their marriages would

01:37:32 --> 01:37:36

end they wouldn't inherit they wouldn't do so

01:37:36 --> 01:37:37

many things so so many things would be

01:37:37 --> 01:37:41

connected to it so Allah s.w.t

01:37:41 --> 01:37:45

does this make sense so not doing haram

01:37:45 --> 01:37:48

to get out of your test and also

01:37:48 --> 01:37:51

knowing that there is a difference between being

01:37:52 --> 01:38:00

overpowered by fear or joy or anger which

01:38:00 --> 01:38:03

then overpowers your reason and pushing you to

01:38:03 --> 01:38:06

say things which you shouldn't say our pious

01:38:06 --> 01:38:09

predecessors would rather say that this would be

01:38:09 --> 01:38:12

kufr ala kulli hal and that there would

01:38:12 --> 01:38:15

not be any way to make qiyas to

01:38:15 --> 01:38:21

do any analogy with with talaq so now

01:38:21 --> 01:38:23

the first level the second level is sabr

01:38:23 --> 01:38:27

you don't like what's happening but you're not

01:38:27 --> 01:38:29

going to express anything of anger towards Allah

01:38:30 --> 01:38:32

not with your mouth not with your body

01:38:32 --> 01:38:36

and not with your heart as I said

01:38:36 --> 01:38:39

then the second the second level of true

01:38:39 --> 01:38:42

sabr is a rida that's that you're pleased

01:38:42 --> 01:38:43

so now you're not saying something bad with

01:38:43 --> 01:38:45

your tongue not with your heart not with

01:38:45 --> 01:38:48

your body and it's not you don't dislike

01:38:48 --> 01:38:49

the test you like it because it comes

01:38:49 --> 01:38:53

from Allah so you like it so you

01:38:53 --> 01:38:54

say if it's this or that I don't

01:38:54 --> 01:38:56

care and this is what Umar bin Khattab

01:38:56 --> 01:39:01

radiyallahu anhu said when he said radiyallahu anhu

01:39:01 --> 01:39:04

I don't care how I wake up I

01:39:04 --> 01:39:07

don't care how I wake up it being

01:39:07 --> 01:39:11

a situation it being a situation wherein I

01:39:11 --> 01:39:14

find myself in a test or in prosperity

01:39:15 --> 01:39:17

because I know it's from Allah and he

01:39:17 --> 01:39:20

said because I don't know whether good or

01:39:20 --> 01:39:23

bad is hidden between that behind that which

01:39:23 --> 01:39:25

I like or which I detest and this

01:39:25 --> 01:39:33

is what Allah says in the Quran maybe

01:39:33 --> 01:39:35

you dislike something which is good for you

01:39:35 --> 01:39:36

maybe you love something which is bad for

01:39:36 --> 01:39:38

you and Allah knows and you don't know

01:39:38 --> 01:39:41

okay so that's the asad that's the core

01:39:41 --> 01:39:44

and the basis which we build our sabr

01:39:44 --> 01:39:48

on acknowledging that Allah knows and that we

01:39:48 --> 01:39:50

don't then we come to the highest level

01:39:50 --> 01:39:53

which is a shukr which is contentment and

01:39:53 --> 01:39:58

which is gratitude not just being pleased but

01:39:58 --> 01:40:02

being grateful knowing that Allah subhanahu wa ta

01:40:02 --> 01:40:05

'ala will only give you what is best

01:40:05 --> 01:40:09

for you and you know that the rewards

01:40:09 --> 01:40:12

being connected to the tests are better for

01:40:12 --> 01:40:15

you than the rewards which are connected to

01:40:15 --> 01:40:18

prosperity so you say thank you Ya Rabbi

01:40:18 --> 01:40:20

for the rewards you are going to give

01:40:20 --> 01:40:25

me for that which I am so these

01:40:25 --> 01:40:27

are the four do we have any questions

01:40:27 --> 01:40:32

barakallahu feekum do we have any questions I

01:40:32 --> 01:40:35

think we had a lot of information today

01:40:35 --> 01:40:39

and I hope that the name saboor has

01:40:40 --> 01:40:45

that the name saboor no there are not

01:40:45 --> 01:40:49

three tasakhut was the first one sabr was

01:40:49 --> 01:40:53

the second one and rida was the third

01:40:53 --> 01:40:55

one and shukr was the fourth one so

01:40:55 --> 01:40:58

the first one was anger the second one

01:40:58 --> 01:41:02

was sabr just patience then no I said

01:41:02 --> 01:41:05

sabr I mentioned sabr and that's where I

01:41:05 --> 01:41:07

said that you don't like the test but

01:41:07 --> 01:41:10

you don't express anger with your mouth or

01:41:10 --> 01:41:12

your heart or your body so we have

01:41:12 --> 01:41:16

tasakhut then we have sabr then we have

01:41:16 --> 01:41:19

rida and then we have shukr so these

01:41:19 --> 01:41:24

are the four ones but the tasakhut they

01:41:24 --> 01:41:28

always refer to it when talking about patience

01:41:28 --> 01:41:31

but it's not patience right so but they

01:41:31 --> 01:41:33

say that's the lowest of the lowest levels

01:41:33 --> 01:41:38

so there's tasakhut, sabr, rida and shukr is

01:41:38 --> 01:41:41

that clear for Sara Malik and Karima Foundation

01:41:49 --> 01:41:54

okay what did you take away from the

01:41:54 --> 01:41:55

class today you know I always do this

01:41:55 --> 01:41:57

even when I'm not in front of you

01:41:57 --> 01:42:00

that's a nightmare which will keep on following

01:42:00 --> 01:42:05

you straight from Belgium what did you take

01:42:05 --> 01:42:08

away for yourself and people who are gathered

01:42:08 --> 01:42:11

together like in Karima Foundation and so forth

01:42:11 --> 01:42:13

they can just tell Khayyam and I know

01:42:13 --> 01:42:16

that he can type like really quick he

01:42:16 --> 01:42:23

has his own methods in writing okay well

01:42:23 --> 01:42:37

don't we all don't we all okay

01:42:37 --> 01:42:41

so I'm waiting for you to share our

01:42:41 --> 01:42:45

to share some of the things you take

01:42:45 --> 01:43:05

away from the class today yes

01:43:05 --> 01:43:08

Allah has been patient for so long very

01:43:08 --> 01:43:11

good to make rules and stick to them

01:43:11 --> 01:43:15

so that we are in a testing situation

01:43:15 --> 01:43:16

we know what to do and don't act

01:43:16 --> 01:43:19

on emotion very good that's very good indeed

01:43:22 --> 01:43:25

we should have just as much patience with

01:43:25 --> 01:43:29

our children very good intellect at the start

01:43:29 --> 01:43:30

of a test what the fools do in

01:43:30 --> 01:43:34

the end sabr and gratitude very good different

01:43:34 --> 01:43:40

levels of sabr very nice very good there

01:43:40 --> 01:43:42

is more there is much more it doesn't

01:43:42 --> 01:43:46

punish you because of losing patience but justice

01:43:46 --> 01:43:52

very good very good somebody else need to

01:43:52 --> 01:43:54

feed the soul in many ways we need

01:43:54 --> 01:43:56

to feed the eyes ears etc very good

01:43:56 --> 01:44:01

yes I found that the part of the

01:44:01 --> 01:44:03

soul very interesting don't do anything we will

01:44:03 --> 01:44:05

get tomorrow like the body is made out

01:44:05 --> 01:44:08

of soil so he wants to go down

01:44:08 --> 01:44:10

and the body is made out of divine

01:44:10 --> 01:44:13

light and she wants to go up that

01:44:13 --> 01:44:15

our souls were given bodies and not the

01:44:15 --> 01:44:23

other way around and not to exactly what

01:44:23 --> 01:44:33

else very

01:44:33 --> 01:44:35

good need patience for the qadr of Allah

01:44:35 --> 01:44:39

and the rulings of Allah we said the

01:44:39 --> 01:44:42

qadr of Allah we said the good times

01:44:42 --> 01:44:44

and the bad times of it right the

01:44:44 --> 01:44:46

good times we need to pass them with

01:44:46 --> 01:44:48

gratitude and the bad times between brackets with

01:44:48 --> 01:44:53

patience or gratitude as well Allah Allah deserves

01:44:53 --> 01:44:56

every moment of our worship in worship it

01:44:56 --> 01:44:59

says five salawat is enough okay very good

01:45:00 --> 01:45:02

and then also what did I say about

01:45:02 --> 01:45:06

burdens that sometimes when we feel that the

01:45:06 --> 01:45:08

rulings of Allah are not always easy yes

01:45:08 --> 01:45:10

very good now so what did we say

01:45:10 --> 01:45:13

about that are you a bad Muslim it

01:45:13 --> 01:45:15

was quite interesting about the blueprint being affected

01:45:15 --> 01:45:17

of a child for the anger that is

01:45:17 --> 01:45:19

experienced when they are adults yes without any

01:45:19 --> 01:45:21

doubt the first year and a half is

01:45:21 --> 01:45:26

so important and not to beat ourselves up

01:45:26 --> 01:45:28

when we are finding certain things hard that

01:45:28 --> 01:45:32

we are bad Muslims yes very good I

01:45:32 --> 01:45:35

like that one as well yes so that

01:45:35 --> 01:45:37

that we it was said indeed that you're

01:45:37 --> 01:45:39

not a bad Muslim if you feel that

01:45:39 --> 01:45:42

that sometimes worship is heavy on you the

01:45:42 --> 01:45:44

fact that you put into practice means that

01:45:44 --> 01:45:46

you love Allah unification of tongue and what

01:45:46 --> 01:45:48

we actually feel internally the Islamic things is

01:45:48 --> 01:45:50

to say alhamdulillah but to actually believe it

01:45:50 --> 01:45:54

very good nice very nice the fact that

01:45:54 --> 01:45:56

you are struggling but still choose to follow

01:45:56 --> 01:45:58

the path is an indication that you're a

01:45:58 --> 01:46:02

strong believer so true yes very good it's

01:46:02 --> 01:46:08

very nice worshipping Allah's heart and we do

01:46:08 --> 01:46:09

it even if it's hard as we love

01:46:09 --> 01:46:12

him very good and then why did I

01:46:12 --> 01:46:18

mention things like being allowed to eat or

01:46:18 --> 01:46:23

drink something which is originally at its base

01:46:23 --> 01:46:44

haram why did I bring this up knowing

01:46:44 --> 01:46:47

that reactions in times of extreme joy or

01:46:47 --> 01:46:49

happiness may not always be considered but we

01:46:49 --> 01:46:51

need to tread carefully very good yes like

01:46:51 --> 01:46:54

that I find that born Muslims in general

01:46:54 --> 01:46:56

will try and just use Islamic quotes about

01:46:56 --> 01:46:59

hardships and serva oh alhamdulillah very good yes

01:47:00 --> 01:47:06

merciful in his justice yes very good so

01:47:08 --> 01:47:11

we still I still want some more detail

01:47:11 --> 01:47:17

about it affects the five sentence in terms

01:47:17 --> 01:47:19

of eating we're always going to be in

01:47:19 --> 01:47:21

between ease intense in this life very good

01:47:21 --> 01:47:24

very good well what did I why did

01:47:24 --> 01:47:26

I use a tunnel for at a certain

01:47:26 --> 01:47:30

point I said a tunnel what why was

01:47:30 --> 01:47:36

I doing this question on the feeding of

01:47:36 --> 01:47:37

the soul is it possible that some of

01:47:37 --> 01:47:39

our stress anger are because of the soul

01:47:40 --> 01:47:43

is feed not good things in similar way

01:47:43 --> 01:47:47

yes definitely definitely I'll say Mahmood definitely yet

01:47:47 --> 01:47:50

when talking to reverts in general they will

01:47:50 --> 01:47:52

actually say the reality of hardships and then

01:47:52 --> 01:47:54

follow it with alhamdulillah also please make do

01:47:54 --> 01:47:57

as I'm traveling to perform Hajj and that

01:47:57 --> 01:47:59

Allah all that are called to Allah subhanahu

01:47:59 --> 01:48:03

wa ta'ala succeed and return safely yes

01:48:03 --> 01:48:07

inshallah just divinely when we go through hardships

01:48:08 --> 01:48:09

it's like we are going through a dark

01:48:09 --> 01:48:11

tunnel and we should know we will come

01:48:11 --> 01:48:13

out of the tunnel and it will know

01:48:13 --> 01:48:15

not just it will be okay again we're

01:48:15 --> 01:48:17

going if we were in a good place

01:48:17 --> 01:48:19

we're going to a better place but the

01:48:19 --> 01:48:22

way to it is a dark tunnel that's

01:48:22 --> 01:48:25

that's that's it okay so we spoke about

01:48:25 --> 01:48:26

the Hikamillah we spoke about the sabr of

01:48:26 --> 01:48:28

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala patience with everybody

01:48:28 --> 01:48:29

and everything with the believers as well as

01:48:29 --> 01:48:33

the non-believers very good and then we

01:48:34 --> 01:48:36

intelligent people thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

01:48:36 --> 01:48:43

beginning of a test yes and also the

01:48:43 --> 01:48:48

importance of harmony between religious advice psychological advice

01:48:49 --> 01:48:52

and physical right so these three dimensions they

01:48:52 --> 01:48:54

all go together and the problem is that

01:48:54 --> 01:48:57

very often just focus on one Allah is

01:48:57 --> 01:48:58

pleased with the man or woman who wakes

01:48:58 --> 01:49:00

up in the cold leave bed perform wudu

01:49:00 --> 01:49:02

and perform two rakaat of salah yes very

01:49:02 --> 01:49:06

good yes so now when when a plane

01:49:06 --> 01:49:10

crashes I can just drink as much alcohol

01:49:10 --> 01:49:12

as I like and I can just try

01:49:12 --> 01:49:14

it out and I say oh now is

01:49:14 --> 01:49:17

the moment that I can try it and

01:49:17 --> 01:49:19

then I just take any bottle true or

01:49:19 --> 01:49:38

false why yes why no yes

01:49:38 --> 01:49:40

if you have this intention it will not

01:49:40 --> 01:49:43

justify it when you say oh now I

01:49:43 --> 01:49:48

can try no it's haram we choose the

01:49:48 --> 01:49:52

least intoxicating very good your knee has changed

01:49:52 --> 01:49:56

from survival to liking it okay and do

01:49:56 --> 01:49:57

I just need to drink what is necessary

01:49:57 --> 01:50:14

to stay alive is it

01:50:14 --> 01:50:19

just like the sip to to stay alive

01:50:19 --> 01:50:22

and to function because if you want to

01:50:22 --> 01:50:25

save yourself and it's just to stay alive

01:50:25 --> 01:50:27

then you will lay down and you will

01:50:27 --> 01:50:30

eventually die so it should be sufficient to

01:50:30 --> 01:50:32

stay alive and to give you the energy

01:50:32 --> 01:50:35

to keep you going okay so it's not

01:50:35 --> 01:50:39

just to stay physically alive and this is

01:50:39 --> 01:50:41

why some of the scholars in the Hamal

01:50:41 --> 01:50:44

effect and others they get into detail and

01:50:44 --> 01:50:45

they say is it actually allowed for you

01:50:45 --> 01:50:48

to take with you like you there's the

01:50:48 --> 01:50:51

pork you walk with it or do you

01:50:51 --> 01:50:54

have to leave it behind and the strongest

01:50:54 --> 01:50:56

opinion is that if you know definitely for

01:50:56 --> 01:50:59

sure that most you're not most likely that

01:50:59 --> 01:51:02

you won't most likely won't be finding anything

01:51:02 --> 01:51:05

else in the couple a couple of days

01:51:05 --> 01:51:07

or whatever that you are allowed to take

01:51:07 --> 01:51:09

it with you so you are allowed you're

01:51:09 --> 01:51:11

exempted from the hadith where the Prophet says

01:51:11 --> 01:51:15

that he who transports wine or alcohol that

01:51:15 --> 01:51:18

he's cursed by Allah so then you are

01:51:18 --> 01:51:21

actually allowed to do this you're allowed to

01:51:21 --> 01:51:23

carry it and take it with you so

01:51:23 --> 01:51:27

that you can then use it when needed

01:51:27 --> 01:51:32

so even that is Allah's mercy reflecting Allah's

01:51:32 --> 01:51:36

mercy I have the feeling we had a

01:51:36 --> 01:51:39

lot of information I would really like the

01:51:39 --> 01:51:43

people to the students and the brothers and

01:51:43 --> 01:51:47

sisters in the first place to collect these

01:51:47 --> 01:51:50

beneficial things that you take away from the

01:51:50 --> 01:51:51

class like I said last time otherwise they

01:51:51 --> 01:51:54

get lost I would really like you to

01:51:54 --> 01:51:58

find a way and to write down all

01:51:58 --> 01:51:59

the things that you understand from it that

01:51:59 --> 01:52:01

you take away from it and there should

01:52:01 --> 01:52:04

be a way that one sister gathers it

01:52:04 --> 01:52:06

from all the sisters one brother gathers it

01:52:06 --> 01:52:09

from all the brothers and then they bring

01:52:09 --> 01:52:10

it together and at the end of the

01:52:10 --> 01:52:13

class of this journey of the 16 weeks

01:52:13 --> 01:52:17

journey we will have so many golden rules

01:52:18 --> 01:52:23

so Mashallah beautiful okay if that is being

01:52:23 --> 01:52:27

done that's perfect Inshallah from my side Alhamdulillah

01:52:27 --> 01:52:31

Barakallah Fikum I would like to reward everybody

01:52:31 --> 01:52:37

I would ask Allah to reward everybody for

01:52:37 --> 01:52:44

being here does this also apply to drug

01:52:44 --> 01:52:50

dealers who carry drugs sell it hmm how

01:52:50 --> 01:52:53

I think you understood that the analogy is

01:52:53 --> 01:52:56

not correct right and that's why you removed

01:52:56 --> 01:53:02

the question is that correct Khalid or did

01:53:02 --> 01:53:03

you say what did I write why did

01:53:03 --> 01:53:04

I write this if it's really a question

01:53:04 --> 01:53:06

you want to ask then ask it I

01:53:06 --> 01:53:16

don't mind okay

01:53:17 --> 01:53:19

so thank you Alhamdulillah I'm happy that this

01:53:19 --> 01:53:22

means social media exists because today there was

01:53:22 --> 01:53:24

something going on which didn't allow me to

01:53:24 --> 01:53:27
