			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
			get out of my house I'm not in
		
01:53:27 --> 01:53:29
			prison in my house I mean I wasn't
		
01:53:29 --> 01:53:32
			able to get out of town so Jazakum
		
01:53:32 --> 01:53:34

01:53:34 --> 01:53:36
