00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			What Is the Poem About?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			Okay.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			Bismillah, Bismillah.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			Do you have the poem with you?
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			You want to read it or I read
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			it in English?
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			We found the poem in English.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:47
			It sounds much better than the sparklings.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:57
			Yes.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			Mashallah, thank you.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			That's your translation?
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:01
			Yes.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			And surely I recollected you, even when the
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			lances were drinking my blood, and bright swords
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			of Indian make were dripping with my blood.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			I wished to kiss the swords, for verily
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			they shone as bright as the flash of
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			the foretooth of your smiling mouth.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			That's it.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			So that is what he was thinking of
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			during the war.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			So anyway, Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, wa salatu wa salamu
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			ala Rasoolillahi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			man wala.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			So one of the most important things now
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			is what can I do first to love
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and secondly to
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			be loved by Allah jalla wa ala.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			And as we said, the most important thing
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			is to be loved, but it is also
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			important to experience love because love for Allah
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			jalla wa ala will drive you more than
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:00
			fear.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			Fear is usually doing something because you have
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			to, while loving is doing something because you
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			want to.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Okay?
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			So I repeat, fear is usually doing something,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			pushes you to doing something, because you have
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:22
			to, and love pushes you to doing something
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			because you want to.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			If you love someone, nothing feels heavy, nothing
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			feels like a burden, and nothing feels like
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			being too much.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			When you are afraid of someone, you are
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			actually saying, if you weren't to punish me
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			or if you weren't to see me, I
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			wouldn't have done what you would have asked
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			me, what you have asked me.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:44
			Right?
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			That's fear.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			And an example would be people waking up
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			at the beginning of prayer time, Fajr prayer
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			time, and people waking up at the end
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			of Fajr prayer time, or people just making
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			up their Fajr after prayer time has ended.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			We say that someone who loves is ready
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			before his beloved one calls him, while someone
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14
			who fears usually comes after being called more
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:14
			than once.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:22
			So, loving Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			push you to being ready before he calls
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:24
			you.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			And this is why some of the Saliheen
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			said, for 30 years I haven't heard the
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			Adhan, or I was already in the state
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			of ablution, because I don't want to let
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			my beloved one wait.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			For 30 years, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, we
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			wait until the end of the Adhan.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			Just a bit Tottenham, Liverpool, I don't know
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:46
			what.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			So I keep on watching a bit.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			Tottenham, I don't know, do they play first
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			class?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			So Tottenham, Liverpool, High Wycombe.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			And so you are waiting.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:59
			You say, how long left before Asr?
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			Because I haven't prayed Duhur.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			Half an hour, oh good, half an hour.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			So what are people doing now?
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			The only thing which pushes them towards doing
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			something is fear.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			The fear for being punished.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			Someone who loves is ready.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			Before Duhur is there, he's already asking, what
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			is Duhur?
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			Oh, it's before prayer time.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21
			Do you see?
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			So that's also one of the explanations of
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			love.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			So the first one was, any love will
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			push you to do something because you want
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			to, while fear will push you to do
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			something because you have to.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			Love will push you to be ready before
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			being called, and fear will push you to
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			what?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			To being ready after being waited for.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			So this is why love is a stronger,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			a stronger drive than fear.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			Another thing is what they say about love.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:58
			They say, love will get you back to
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			the one you love, even if you have
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			wronged your beloved one.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			Because your love is so strong, that you
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			want to come back and be loved again.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:07
			Okay?
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			You see?
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			Is that clear?
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			What was the last thing I said?
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:16
			Okay.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:26
			So, when your loved one, sorry, when your
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			loved one pushes you away, you always come
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			back.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			But when the one you fear pushes you
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			away, you are happy.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			Say, I got rid of him.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			Like you fear someone, you are always next
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:38
			to him.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			Say, I don't want to see you ever
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			again.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			That's a relief.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			That's a relief.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			Like if people are in a marriage, and
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			you, anyway, don't let's compare.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			So, now when your beloved one pushes you
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			away, you are going to beg to be
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			allowed to come back again.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			Please let me come back.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			Please let me.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			Come on.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			One more chance.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			That is when you love someone.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			So you see that the feeling of love,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			is actually far more stronger, than the feeling
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			of fear.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			Loving also is, being true to your beloved
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			one, even in his or her absence.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:24
			Fear, will allow you to be untrustworthy, to
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			the one you fear, whenever you know that
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			he can't see you, or wouldn't know.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			Some people, the only reason why they don't
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			do something, is because they are afraid to
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:34
			be caught.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			That's the only thing why they don't do
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			it.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			So on the outside, it is obedience.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			But on the inside, it's rebellion.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			This is what fear is about very often.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			I'm not going to do this, because Allah
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			SWT is going to punish me, but I
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			would like to.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			You know on the outside, you stop.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			On the inside, you are rebel.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			Love, no.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			Love is that you are even true with
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			your heart, that you only love what your
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			beloved one loves.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			And you don't want your beloved one, to
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			find something in your heart, which he dislikes.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			So people who love Allah, don't only observe
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			their actions, they also observe their hearts.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			They want their hearts to be clean, of
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			everything which Allah SWT doesn't like.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			That's love.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			Fear is just an action.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			I'm not going to do it, but I
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			want it.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			Love is I'm not going to do it,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			and I don't desire it.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:25
			That's love.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			Is that clear?
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			So you see, I'm trying to picture a
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			difference, the difference between loving and fearing.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:34
			Okay.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			So now, what are we going to do
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			to love Allah?
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			We already said that, the biggest goal is
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			that, we are loved by Allah SWT.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			But what are we going to do, to
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			love Allah SWT?
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			That's the first thing.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			Well the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has said,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			like in the Jamia of Imam As-Suyuti,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			he said, من أراد أن يحب الله ورسوله
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			أن يحب الله فليقرأ في المصحف or the
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:00
			Quran.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			Let the one who would like to love
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			Allah, read the Quran.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			Let the one who wants to love Allah,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			read the Quran.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:10
			Why?
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			Well, more than one third of the Quran
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:13
			is about Allah.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			And this is why we say, كل هو
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			الله واحد is a third of the Quran.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			What did that mean?
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			When the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, سورة
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			الإخلاص يعني تعديل ثورة القرآن سورة الإخلاص is
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			equal to a third of the Quran.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			What does it mean?
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			Well, a third of the Quran is about
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			Allah's names, about Allah's attributes, about what Allah
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			did, about what Allah will do.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			So that is كل هو الله واحد is
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:42
			only about Allah.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			So a third of the Quran is about
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			Allah.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			So when you read the Quran regularly, regularly,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:53
			regularly, very often, then that's good.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			When you read it on a regular basis,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			then you will start loving Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			ta'ala because it's all about him.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			It's all about and I did this and
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			I will do so and I will give
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			and I will protect or I will punish.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			So love for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			is found in the Quran.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			That's number one.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			The second thing is the dua that we
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			just mentioned.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			Repeat that one Asim.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			Yes.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			Did you memorize this one before?
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:33
			Yes.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:34
			Entirely?
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			No, not the last one.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:36
			No, mashallah.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			Look.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:38
			Mashallah.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			So the last part you memorize it right
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:40
			now.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			Okay.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:42
			Khayyam.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			You're trusting him.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			I'm your price.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			Okay.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			So this is like we're saying with Ramadan,
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			right?
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			The dhamma has left me.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Right?
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			So the dhamma is like being really thirsty
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			and having a dry throat and so much
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:17
			more.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:18
			Okay.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			So anyway, so now the first thing was
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:21
			reading the Quran.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			The second thing is this dua.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			What we should know is when you say
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			a dua, you don't say just with your
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			mouth, you say with your heart.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			So when you say it with your heart,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will definitely
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			accept this.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			Three, the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam has
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			said, and you find this in the Jamia
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			of Imam Suyuti and I think in the
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			Sunnah of Imam At-Tirmidhi, but I'm no
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			longer 100% sure, but I think it
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:50
			is.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:55
			Love Allah for that which He keeps you
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			providing with.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			Love Allah because of that which He keeps
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			on providing you.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			But what does this mean anyway?
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:11
			I always say if we were to treat
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			our friends the way we treat our religion
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			or Allah, then we wouldn't have any friends
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:15
			anymore.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			You see?
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			And we expect from people what we don't
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			expect from ourselves towards Allah.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			We expect people to answer straight away.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			To never be too late.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			To always be on time.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			To don't make a mistake.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			You know, we expect them to be respectful.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			And if they're not, then we cut them
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:35
			off.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			We kick them out of our friendship zone.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			They're gone.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			But when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala calls
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			us, we say, Wait Ya Rabbi, please.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			You know, five minutes, I got something to
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			do.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			You know, when we text someone once, the
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			second text, people are very polite.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			Hi, how are you, Shaykh?
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			Second one, not even five minutes later, two
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			interrogation marks.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			Then three.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			Why are you not replying?
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			Why this?
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			And then I even had, Shaykh, I know
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			you're there.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			Astaghfirullah.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			Don't hide.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			If I would show you, you wouldn't believe
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			me.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			I stopped being on WhatsApp.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			Because I had like 300 people messaging and
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			expecting me.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			Sometimes they forget that you have a life.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			It's like I'm connected and that all the
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			time I need to be there.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			You know, because I...
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:27
			So anyway.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			But people have this.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			People...
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			And this is why I wrote something about
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:38
			the usage of social media and how to
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			use it in an Islamic way.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			Like there are times where you just don't
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:42
			contact people.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			If you send a message to someone at
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			10, would you go knock his door at
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			10 o'clock at night?
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			Would you?
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			It's just like, Brother, you open the door.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:52
			Yeah.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			Yeah, I just wanted to remind you of...
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			There are times you interrupt.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			You're interrupting people from a certain time.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			Also, when sometimes people talk, they talk to
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			you, they stop discussion.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			Say Assalamualaikum.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			You say Waalaikumussalam.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:09
			They don't reply.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			Why are you giving me Islam for then?
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			Then two hours later, Oh, I wanted to
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:15
			tell you this and that.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			You say, okay, when would you like to
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:17
			do that?
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			Three hours later, tomorrow.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			This is so impolite.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			Also, people go away in the midst of
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			a discussion without giving Salam.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			So, okay, that's good, right?
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			So you don't know what to expect.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			They're gone for five hours or two days.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			Then when they pick up their discussion of
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			yesterday, they don't start with Salam.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			They just continue like never anything happened.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			They don't ask you, how are you?
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			They don't say, what's up?
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			They don't do anything.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48
			So this here, this social media system was
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			invented by people who didn't have any friends.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			Facebook was actually beg for friends book.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:55
			Yes.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:59
			And so we had a social Islamic system
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			in place where we would visit one another,
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			where we would take care of one another,
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			where we would see one another at the
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			mosque, where everything was socially not superficial.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			It was real life, true life.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			But this was invented by people who don't
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			have this system in place.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			And we actually changed the system we had
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			for this now, which we were not in
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			need of.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			Muslims weren't in need of this, of this
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			kind of system.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			But now this is what we are using.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			So when someone's sick, people don't visit anymore.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			You say, I'm sick.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:29
			They send you a cupcake.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			You know, an icon of an emoji, like
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			the cake and then Salam.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			What do you call the thing you put
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			in your mouth when you're sick and you
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			want to measure your fever?
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:39
			Moor.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:40
			What?
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			Thermometer.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			What?
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			Thermometer.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			One person?
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			Thermometer.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			Thermometer.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			So that thing, you know, they send it
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			to you and then be good.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			Where are the visits?
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			Even that is going away.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			So it's so strange.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			Sometimes you don't see someone for weeks, but
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			you have the impression that you're always with
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:05
			him.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			But that's a fake being together.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			So anyway, why am I saying this?
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			I don't know.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:11
			Allah.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:12
			Why did I say this?
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			It's because he said that if you treat
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			a friend by a different religion, Allah will
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:20
			have his own.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:21
			Yes.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:22
			Thank you.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			So this is what is happening.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:29
			Like we are expecting from people to treat
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			us in a way that we don't treat
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			our own religion.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			We demand more respect for ourselves than the
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			respect we give to Allah.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			And this is why Ibn Al-Qayyib wrote
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			something about this in his book, Tariq Al
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:41
			-Hijratain.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			A very nice book to read, by the
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:43
			way.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:44
			Okay.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			So loving is what?
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			The first thing, create love.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			One, by reading the Quran.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			Two, by the dua.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:56
			Three, by looking at what Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			ta'ala keeps on giving us.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			And this is why one of the Saliheen
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			said, if you want to open the despair,
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			the door of despair, then look at what
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			you are keeping, what you are giving to
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			Allah.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			And if you want to open the door
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			of hope, then look at what Allah keeps
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			on giving you.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:16
			You know?
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			When we look at ourselves, we despair.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			But when we look at Allah, we are
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:21
			filled with hope.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			And this is why we should always look
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			at Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			Because Allah doesn't give us in harmony with
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			what we do.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			You know?
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			He gives us in harmony with His generosity
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:34
			and mercy.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			wa sallam has said, No one amongst you
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			will enter paradise, thanks as a result of
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			his actions.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			They said, He said, and not I.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			Not even myself.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			Unless, if it were for the mercy, it's
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			just the mercy of Allah.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			So they say, entering paradise is Allah's love
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			for you.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			And then your ranks in paradise is connected
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			to your deeds.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			But entering into paradise is only mercy.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			And then, you know, the levels is in
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			harmony with your deeds.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			But the entering paradise itself has nothing to
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			do with you or me or anything.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			It's just divine mercy, divine love.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			So this is very important to know.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			And love of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			for His creation.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			He's so big, even for the sinners.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			You know, the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			has said that, Allah will tell three people
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			to come out of hellfire.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			That will be the last ones.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			And he's come out of hellfire.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			And then he tells them, go back in.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			Go back to hellfire.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			And one amongst them remains.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			And he doesn't go back.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, And he
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			knows better.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			He says, why are you not going back
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:53
			to *?
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			He said, Allah, you have too much rahmah
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			to fill our hearts with hope and then
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			to turn it into despair.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			Enter my paradise.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			Because of what?
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			Because of the positive thought this person has
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			And that is the last person entering into
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			paradise.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			Because when he arrives, he will sit at
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			the door and say, Ya Rabbi, paradise is
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:14
			full.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:15
			There's no place for me.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			Allah will say, look again.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			And he sees that paradise is very big.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			And he will be given ten times the
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			universe.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:22
			Or multiverse.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:23
			Whatever you want to call it.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			Ten times.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			That's the last person.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			And he's meeting the worst person amongst the
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			Muslims ever.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			And they're reading.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			They feel, khalas, he's forever in *.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			That one comes out and he gets ten
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			times the universe.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			This is how much Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			'ala loves.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			You know, when you look at the other
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			hadith of that man, that killed 99 people.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
			And he asked to be directed to the
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			biggest scholar of all.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			But they showed him a way to a
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:56
			worshipper.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			Not to a scholar.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:03
			And he asked him, Is the door to
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			repentance open for me?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:05
			He said, no.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			And the worshipper said, no.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			He killed him.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			So there were a hundred.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			So now he went to the most knowledgeable
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			person on the face of the earth.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			And he said, is there tawbah for me?
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:19
			He said, yes.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			What stops you from repenting?
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			And he said, but you need to leave
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			this place and go to a better place
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:26
			to worship Allah.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			So when he was on his way, he
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			died.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			So now the angel of punishment and the
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			angel of mercy came down.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			And the angel of punishment said, he's mine.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			He never did anything good.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			The angel of mercy said, he's mine.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			And he went to do something good.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sends a
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			third one as a judge.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			And he said, measure the distance between the
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			two places.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:56
			The place where he was heading for, where
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			he wanted to change his life.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			And the place he left.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			The place where he committed all these crimes.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made the
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			distance between the place he was heading for
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			and his body shorter.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			Meaning that he was closer to the other
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:18
			side.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			So then the angels measured it and they
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			found him to be closer to the place
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			he was heading for.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			So the angel of mercy said, he's mine.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			And he took his life.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			And he took his soul.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			So you see that Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			'ala, even though that was closer to the
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			place of crime.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			Nevertheless, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reduced the
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			distance between the other side and his body
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			for him to be taken to, to what?
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:45
			To Paradise.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			So this is the amount of love that
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			Another man died.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			And the angels came to take his soul.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			And he said, mention, mention your good deeds.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			He said, I don't have any good deeds.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			I don't have anything.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			He said, think.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala even reminded
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:03
			him.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			The prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, he's
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			a man who never did anything good apart
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			from one thing, which we will mention now.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			And then he said, the only thing I
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			can imagine is I was a trader.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			Sometimes people would borrow some money from me.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			And borrow, right?
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			They would borrow money.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			They would borrow some money from me.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			And then when it was difficult for them,
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			either I would say, you don't have to
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			pay it back.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			Or I would, you know, tell them, pay
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			it whenever you can.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			if you were facilitating for mankind, then I
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			shall facilitate for you.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			So enter my paradise through my rahmat.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			So the love of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			'ala for creation is far more bigger than
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			his anger with creation.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			And this is why the prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			wa sallam said, Inna Allaha kataba kitaban wahuwa
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:59
			indahu fawqal arsh, inna rahmatin sabaqat ghadabin.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has a book,
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			and therein is written that he has decided,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			and this book is next to the arsh.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			This is how important it is.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			My mercy will conquer my anger.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			My mercy will conquer my anger.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:19
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			So this man is brought on the day
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			of judgment.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			Look at the love of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:24
			ta'ala.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:25
			He loves you to be in paradise.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			A man comes on the day of judgment.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			He has 99 pages, which are as long,
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			as far as the eye can see.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			99 scrolls.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38
			Imagine yourself, 99 scrolls.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			When you open them, they reach the horizon,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			filled with sins.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			This man says, I am destroyed.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			Then Allah will say, la dhulma al yawm.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			Then the angel will say, la dhulma al
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			yawm.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			Today there is no any kind of injustice.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			So they say, you have a good deed,
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			you have some good deeds.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			So they come with one little tiny page.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			One little tiny piece of paper.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:11
			And the man looks at the 99 scrolls,
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14
			until the horizon, and that one little piece
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:14
			of paper.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			So now he says, what will this do?
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			And the angel says, la dhulma al yawm.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			So they put the 99 scrolls on the
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			one side of the scale, and that little
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			tiny piece of paper on the other one,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			and the tiny little piece of paper weighs
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			heavier than the 99 scrolls.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			And then this man is told, go to
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			Jannah.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			And then he says, how?
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:41
			He says, laqad qulta la ilaha illallah min
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			qalbika yawma.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:47
			One day, you said, la ilaha illallah, purely
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:47
			from your heart.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			And then it's for paradise.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			Do you see all of this?
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:58
			So we mustn't forget ever, how strong Allah
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:58
			loves us.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			And when we keep this in mind, we
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			can't but love Him.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			Because we don't despair ever.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:12
			I mean this other man, subhanAllah, the strength
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			of love for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:17
			when everybody is in paradise, and everybody is
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			in *, there are two people left.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			Two people that used to love one another
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's sake.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			Two people.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			But they all fall short.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			Everyone amongst them has what?
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:34
			Has 49 hasanat and 51 siyat.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			So they need to go to *.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			But then one of them says, look, I
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			don't see any benefit in us going both
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			to *, if one of us can be
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:45
			saved.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			Look at this.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			That's their love for Allah.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			See?
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55
			So if I give you one hasanat, you
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			have 50.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			And when you have 50, you go to
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:57
			paradise.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			And if you go both, so He gives
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			him the hasanat, and now because he has
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			this extra hasanat, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			says, enter my paradise.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			He says, no ya Rabbi.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			He says, why?
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			He says, I can't go without my brother.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:16
			I can't enter paradise without the other one
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:19
			who sacrificed himself for me.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:27
			say, enter both of you my paradise out
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			of your love for my sake.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:33
			And then they are allowed and granted the
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			entrance to paradise.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			And this is why Allah says about the
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			akhila, people who were brothers, that they are
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			adoo, that they are enemies on the day
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:45
			of judgment, apart from those who had taqwa.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			They will still be brothers that day.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			So this is how we understand when we
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			read that everybody will run away, one from
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:51
			the other.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			That's true, but there are exceptions.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			Those who loved one another for Allah subhanahu
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			wa ta'ala's sake.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			Now what about that other man?
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			That other man in the sunan of Abi
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			Dawood who was a sinner.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			He was sinning day and night.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			Day and night he had a brother who
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			was a worshipper.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			And every time he would see that sinner,
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			he would say stop, stop, stop.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			You remember?
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			And then one day he started committing a
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			very grave sin, a very big sin.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:17
			And he said, Wallahi Allah will not forgive
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:17
			you.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			Allah stood up for the sinner.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			The guy that was sinning all the time,
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			but he was a believer, was sinning day
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			and night, day and night, day and night.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			And the worshipper who was worshipping all the
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			time, never committing a sin.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			He said, one day, Wallahi, you know what?
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			Allah will not even forgive you.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			There are a lot of means in both
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			of their lives.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			The same instance.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			One, in front of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:42
			'ala.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:47
			He says, Who's the one that has the
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			false courage to swear by me that I
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			will not forgive that sinner?
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			Because verily I have forgiven him and I've
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			destroyed all your good actions.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			And then he says to the sinner, Enter
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:07
			paradise thanks to my mercy.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			And then he says to the one that
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			was worshipping Allah all the time.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			He says, take him to hellfire.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			And then Abdullah ibn Abbas radiallahu anhu says,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:19
			This man destroyed all of his deeds because
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			of one wrong word.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			He thought that this man was an exception
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:25
			to the rule.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			That Allah loves creation.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			You see that?
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:34
			So yes, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35
			his creation.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			And the last thing, that he's giving us
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			so many different chances.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			So many different opportunities.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:44
			Like if you commit one hasana, Then it's
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:47
			immediately multiplied by at least 10 to a
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			700 to an unlimited times.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			At least 10.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:56
			When you commit one sayyidah, One sayyidah, you're
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:00
			not even receiving the entire sayyidah on your
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:00
			scale.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			Because the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			he will be retributed for a part of
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			the sayyidah, not the whole sayyidah.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			So you can never lose with Allah.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			He wants you to win.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			It's not like in a casino where they
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			try to make you lose.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			It's like in the garden of divine mercy
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			where he wants you to win.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			And it's why the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			And only the one that wants to be
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			perished will perish.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			Only the one that wants to be destroyed
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			will be destroyed.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			Only if you're looking for destruction, you will
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			be destroyed.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			Otherwise, it's almost impossible, you know, to end
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			up in *.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, And if
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			the believer would know what Allah has prepared
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			as a punishment, He wouldn't be able to
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			hope for paradise.
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			And if a disbeliever would know what Allah
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			has prepared as mercy, He wouldn't despair for
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:51
			paradise.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			You see that?
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			So Allah loves.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:57
			So why am I saying all of this?
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			This is another means to increase your love
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:01
			for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			It is by looking at Allah's love for
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04
			us.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's love for
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			us.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			Wallahi, you know, we all know which kind
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			of sins we might be committing and where
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:11
			we fall short.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:14
			But nevertheless, here we are once again talking
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:14
			about Allah.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			Either talking or listening.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			I mean, do we deserve this?
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21
			Wallahi, I don't.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			I don't even deserve to take His name
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:24
			into my mouth.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			But, He invites us every time again.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			Allahu noorul salamatul a'rad.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			And He wants to share His light to
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			the entire world.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:40
			He kept on sending prophets, more than 325
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			,000 prophets.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			One after the other, one after the other,
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:44
			one after the other.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:45
			Why?
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			To invite us.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			You know what prophets are?
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			Prophets are the ones that are inviting.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			They are the ambassadors actually inviting you to
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			walk on the red carpet into the doors
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			of the Divine Castle.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:57
			That's what prophets are.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			This is the way.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:58
			Please come.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			Allah is inviting you.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:00
			There you go.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			Yes, thank you.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:02
			Subhanallah.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			This is what the prophets are doing.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			Allah sent all these ambassadors to the face
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09
			of the earth, to invite us to the
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:09
			gardens of Eden.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			Now you're saying, no, you're exaggerating.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			No, Allah says, wallahu yad'u ila dhal
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:13
			salam.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			Allah says in the Quran, And Allah does
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			da'wa.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:18
			Subhanallah.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			Allah does da'wa.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			Wallahu yad'u.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			Allah does da'wa.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:25
			Invites.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			Ila dhal salam.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:30
			To the house without any shortcomings or flaws.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			This is what all the prophets were about.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			Just inviting you to go to Paradise.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:38
			Subhanallah.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:40
			Allah, this is so ajeem.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			So the love of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			'ala for creation is so big, that even
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			when you enter Paradise, He hates things for
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			you, which you have never seen, never heard,
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49
			or never thought about.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			This is how much He loves you.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			Why is He doing this?
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			Because of Him?
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			He doesn't need anything.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			He's Al-Ghanim.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			All of this is Al-Wadud.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			This is Athar of Mawadda.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			Of this pure unconditional love.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			When we enter Paradise, He will show how
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			much He loves you.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:14
			Allah says, when you enter Paradise, each one
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			of you, when you enter Paradise, the Malaika,
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:19
			they come to you, from every door of
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			Paradise.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:25
			I mean there are billions, trillions, zillions, of
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			people in Paradise.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			And they all have at least thousands of
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:28
			doors.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			Do you know how many angels there are?
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			Al-Awza'i radiallahu anhu said that, we
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			read in the scriptures of Musa alaihi salam.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			He said that Musa asked Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			ta'ala, how many angels are there?
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44
			He said three qirat of angels.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			And he said, what is this?
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			He said that's three times the amount of
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:49
			sand.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			How do you call this sand?
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:55
			Three times the amount of sand grains in
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			the universe.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			Go to the beach, and when you take
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			a handful of sand, you can't count it.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			That's millions.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:05
			It's really a lot.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			It's three times.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			This is how many angels there are.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:12
			So the Malaika, they enter, they give you
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:15
			salam, when you enter into Paradise.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			And each salam they give, makes you even
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			more happy.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			It's like when you see good people, you
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			know, when you hug them, you feel happy.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			The next one, Allahu akbar.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:23
			Yes, Allahu, yes.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			You know, you're happy.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			So their hug makes you happy.
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			It inspires you with energy, and joy, and
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			contentment.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:31
			But you have billions of them.
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:32
			Salaam alaikum, how are you?
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			How are you?
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			You know, you're in the climax of your
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			joy.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			وَالْمَلَٰئِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِن كُلِّ بَابِ السَّلَامِ And
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			they will say salam.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			When all of this is finished, and you
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			enter Paradise, now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:46
			doesn't think this is enough.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			Allah doesn't think that this is enough.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala asks the
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:55
			people of Paradise, What do you wish for?
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			What do we wish for?
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:02
			He says, أَلَمْ تُدْخِينَ الْجَنَّمَ أَلَمْ تُبَيِّدْ وُجُوهَنَا
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05
			أَلَمْ تُعْتِنَا مَا لَمْ تُعْتِي أَحَدَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			Have you made us enter into Paradise?
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:10
			Didn't you give us everything we have wanted?
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			Allah says, no.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			Salam, ask.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15
			People look and they won't find anything.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:18
			Because everything, there is more than they can
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:18
			wish for.
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			And everything they can imagine, Everything which is
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			there is better than they imagined.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			So they come all together.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			All the people of Paradise come together.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			Everybody, of all levels.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:31
			Millions of people.
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:34
			Together with the prophets, Nuh a.s, Ibrahim
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			a.s, Muhammad a.s, Isa a.s,
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			Musa a.s, Idris a.s. When the
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:39
			prophets, Everybody is everybody.
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:43
			Imagine you there, The prophets sitting together, 325
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			,000 prophets and messengers.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			Everybody comes together.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48
			Say, what are we going to ask Allah?
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			They just don't know.
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53
			Nobody can come up with anything.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			But Allah's love for our joy is so
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			strong that He wants to give us better.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			So then, Allah will ask, What do you
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:01
			want now?
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02
			What do we wish for?
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:06
			He say, Ya Rabb, أَلَمْ تُدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةِ أَلَمْ
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:10
			تُبَيِّدْ وُجُوهَنَا أَلَمْ تُعْتِنَا مَا لَمْ تُعْتِي أَحَدَ
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ Have you made us enter into
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13
			Paradise?
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:16
			Didn't you give us everything we have wanted?
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:17
			Allah says, no.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			Ask.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			They will look and they won't find anything.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			Because everything, there is more than they can
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:24
			wish for.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:29
			And everything they can imagine, everything which is
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:30
			there is better than they imagined.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			So they come all together.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			All the people of Paradise come together.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			Everybody.
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36
			Of all levels.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			Millions of people.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			Together with the Prophets, Nuh A.S., Ibrahim,
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			Muhammad S.A.W., Isa, Musa, Idris.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			When the Prophet S.A.W. said, Everybody
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:45
			means everybody.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:49
			Imagine you there, the Prophets sitting together, 325
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			,000 Prophets and Messengers.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:52
			Everybody comes together.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:54
			Say, what are we going to ask Allah?
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			And they just don't know.
		
00:34:58 --> 00:34:59
			Nobody can come up with anything.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			But Allah's love for our joy is so
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:04
			strong that He wants to give us better.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			So then, Allah will ask, what do you
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:07
			want now?
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			He says, Allah Ya Rabbi, we don't know.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:11
			And then Allah says, I have better.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَ وَالزِيَادَةِ In the Quran, for
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			those who do good, there is good, paradise,
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:17
			and better.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:21
			فَيُكْشَفُوا الْحِجَابِ And then the veil will be
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:24
			removed, and they will be allowed to look
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			at Allah S.W.T. This is how
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:31
			much Allah S.W.T. loves His creation.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:34
			And then Allah S.W.T. will recite
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			Surat Ar-Rahman.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:39
			Allah will read Surat Ar-Rahman, and the
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:42
			Prophet S.A.W. will read اِقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			وَإِن شَأَتِ Surat An-Najm, sorry.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:46
			The Prophet S.A.W. will read Surat
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:46
			An-Najm.
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:49
			And as this is not sufficient, we go
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:52
			to the next spectacle.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			We're going to see the next thing.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			What's the next thing?
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:56
			Well, in Surat Az-Zumar.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:02
			وَتَرَىٰ مَلَائِكَةَ حَافِينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَشْرِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:05
			رَبِّهِمْ وَقُضِيَ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَقِيلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			الْعَلَمِينَ Surat Az-Zumar, the end.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			وَتَرَىٰ المَلَائِكَةَ You see, all the angels, i
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:15
			.e. Jibreel included, Israfil, Malik al-Mawt, all
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:17
			of them, all the angels, said حافِينَ مِنْ
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:20
			حَوْلِ الْعَشْرِ flying around the Arsh.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:22
			No, the Arsh is very big.
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:24
			You know why?
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			The Prophet S.A.W. said the first
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:29
			universe, in comparison to the second universe, is
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			like a ring in the middle of the
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:31
			desert.
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			You see this?
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			That's the first universe, the first heaven, and
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			of this world, in comparison to the next
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41
			one, is like a ring in the desert.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			And he said the second one, in comparison
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45
			to the third one, is like a ring
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:45
			in the desert.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			And the third to the fourth, and the
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:47
			fourth to the fifth, and the fifth to
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			the sixth, and the sixth to the seventh,
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			and above that is the Arsh.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:56
			And around this Arsh, the angels will fly.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:01
			وَالْمَلَائِكَةَ حَافِينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَشْرِ They go around.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			You will hear their wings.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			I mean, it's ajeeb, isn't it?
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			This is what everybody in paradise will be
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:10
			looking at.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			And what are they doing?
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ They are doing Tasbeeh and
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:17
			Tahmid.
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:23
			سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ العَظِيمِ سُبْحَانَ You
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			hear these voices of the angels, you hear
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			their wings, you see them, and you see
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			the very big Arsh.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			And the angels will appear to be so
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:34
			small, while Jibreel a.s. would be able
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			to destroy the world with the tip of
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			his wing.
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:41
			When he took the people of Lut, at
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:45
			the time of Lut, جَعَلَ عَلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا And
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:48
			he took them up, and he smashed them
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:48
			on the ground.
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			That was just with the tip of his
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:49
			wing.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			There are 600 wings like that.
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:55
			The Prophet ﷺ, when he saw Jibreel, that
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:58
			his wings were just covering the horizon.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:00
			He could no longer see the sky.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:01
			This is how big one wing was.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			So wherever I looked, there was Jibreel.
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:08
			Jibreel would look so small when he's going
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			around the Arsh.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:13
			So this is something Allah is giving us.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			So you say, wow, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:18
			And even now while we are talking, there
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			are angels going around the Arsh.
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:23
			الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمِنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:27
			وَيُؤْمِنُوا نَبِيهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا وَسِعَتَ
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:30
			كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةٍ وَعِيمًا فَاخْفِلِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَانْتِبَعُوا
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31
			سَبِيدَكَ وَقِيمًا And so forth.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:33
			So the angels, Allah SWT says, they're going
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:34
			around the ash.
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:35
			And while they are going around the ash,
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:38
			they are asking Allah to forgive us.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:41
			Now while we are talking, there are angels
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			going around the ash, even while we are
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:43
			sinning.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			They say, Oh Allah forgive them.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48
			Oh Allah forgive them.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:49
			Oh Allah forgive them.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			You know thousands, millions of angels going around.
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:52
			This is ajeeb.
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:56
			This is how much Allah loves us.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:57
			You know.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59
			This is everything He does for us.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00
			And then we say, Oh prayer is so
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			difficult.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02
			Oh the days are so long.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04
			Oh the sun is shining while I'm fasting.
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:07
			Oh Fajr is at 4 o'clock.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:10
			You know people to get this, they would
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:11
			wake up at 2.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			Every night.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:14
			You know.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			People now they wake up at 5 in
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:16
			the morning.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:17
			You know.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			And they work until 7 in the evening
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			to live in a house made out of
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:21
			bricks.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24
			You know in a leasehold.
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:25
			You know.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			And they have to, in 99 years, or
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			now they want to change it into 125
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:29
			years.
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			And then they lose their house.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			If they don't pay again one third of
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:33
			the price.
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:36
			People you know work day and night just
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:36
			to live in bricks.
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:40
			And we find it difficult to prepare to
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:40
			live in a diamond.
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43
			This is how much Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:43
			'ala loves us.
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:44
			You see.
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:47
			So when we talk about al-wadood, subhanahu
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49
			wa ta'ala, well this is what we
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:49
			are referring to.
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:54
			We are referring to the way that Allah
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			subhanahu wa ta'ala expresses His love for
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			creation.
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			And this is why Ibn Ata'illah made
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			clear that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala didn't
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:04
			think that this world was sufficient as a
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:06
			reward for the ones He loves.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			So He created for them a new world.
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			An entire new world.
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:13
			Just because He loves us.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:15
			You see.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			So that's in very brief what I wanted
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			to say about the name al-wadood.
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20
			The importance of loving Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:21
			'ala.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:24
			Some ways to love Allah jalla wa ala.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:28
			And in the book that I'm writing, that
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:29
			I've written already but that I'm finishing now,
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:32
			it's called Ifshad al-Rahil, which will be
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:34
			inshallah something I will be teaching as well.
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:37
			There's a whole chapter of what to do
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			to be loved by Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:38
			'ala.
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			So I ask Allah jalla wa ala to
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			make that which I have said beneficial.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44
			So if you have any questions about what
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:48
			I have mentioned or said, then please do
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:48
			so.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			Okay.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:56
			My question is what do you take away
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:57
			with you?
		
00:40:58 --> 00:40:58
			Yes.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			We talked about the experience of faith.
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:03
			We talked about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			and the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam loving
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:07
			someone for the sake of Allah.
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			But I didn't understand the third one.
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:12
			Going back to disbelief.
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:18
			That someone despises to go back to kufr
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:21
			after Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala having saved
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24
			him from kufr as strongly as he would
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			despise to be thrown into hellfire on the
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:27
			Day of Judgment.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:28
			So meaning that this feeling should be very
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:29
			strong.
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:35
			Okay.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:37
			What do you want to share?
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			What do you take away with you?
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			What were you inspired with?
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			Bismillah.
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52
			That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:53
			one that puts you in love.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:55
			Yes.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:00
			That love is the last one.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:01
			Yes.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:02
			Yeah.
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:06
			That loving him is thanks to him.
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			And he loving you first.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12
			And then resulting in you loving him.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:14
			And not the other way around.
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:15
			No.
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:17
			What else?
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			Yes please.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			When you love Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:24
			everything is directed to him.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			Because you are in love with him.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:30
			So whatever action is, whatever thought is, Allah
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			is present in that.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:36
			And don't miss it.
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			So you are hurting.
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:39
			You are removing.
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			Because you want to be there standing in
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:43
			front of Allah.
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:47
			So it is something that is present in
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:49
			you and never goes away.
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:50
			No.
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:51
			Mashallah.
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			Very, very nicely put.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:54
			Mashallah.
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:56
			Thank you so much.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			Very nicely put.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:57
			Yes.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:01
			Love being a stronger emotion than death.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:01
			Yes.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03
			So loving Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, being
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:08
			in love for Allah, is better than doing
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:08
			it.
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:10
			So saying that is stupid.
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			Yes.
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:12
			Thank you very much.
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:13
			Did you hear that or?
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:14
			Yes.
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:16
			Next one.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			Yes.
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:21
			Yes.
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:22
			Thank you.
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:22
			Go ahead.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:28
			Yes.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:34
			Okay, very good.
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35
			Next one.
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:01
			Yes.
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:12
			Yes.
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:16
			And before I get to you, when we
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18
			say fear Allah, then very often we understand
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:19
			it in the wrong way.
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:21
			There is no reason to fear Allah.
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:24
			We are in awe of Allah, but we
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			fear His justice.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:27
			Because if you do good, there is no
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:31
			reason to fear, but there is a reason
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:31
			to be in awe.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:32
			You see that?
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:35
			So when we say fear Allah, we mean
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:38
			we fear Allah to treat us with His
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			justice.
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:42
			Because if we don't do anything wrong, well,
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			He will not punish us.
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:46
			He will not destroy us.
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			He will not take away our barakah.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			He will not take away anything.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			So this is also very important.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:53
			This is why Allah mentions in the Qur
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:57
			'an, the one that fears the status of
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:02
			his Lord, which is being in awe for
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:02
			Allah.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			But as for fear of Allah, then we
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			mean that you stay away from haram.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:09
			Fear of Allah is an action in the
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:09
			world.
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:11
			Then it is what?
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:12
			A feeling.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:14
			But the awe is a feeling, being in
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:15
			awe for someone.
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:15
			Is that clear?
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:16
			Yes.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:20
			I think that sometimes because you can't see
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			the power of Allah, it doesn't have to
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			be tangible, but you can see how fast
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			He brings the light in your life.
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:29
			It's probably about the size of what was
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:29
			thrown at you.
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:31
			How it's bigger than your feet.
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:33
			You have to tell them how that hits
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:33
			on you.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:36
			You've broken an ocean in comparison to whatever
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:37
			before it.
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38
			And then the anger is kind of circling
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:39
			around the ocean.
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:45
			It's a very difficult question.
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:47
			Because you've got something in front of you,
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:49
			you can't compare it to anything.
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:49
			You can't compare it to anything.
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:52
			It's a good idea.
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:53
			Otherwise you wouldn't be able to do it.
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:55
			Because it doesn't have to be tangible.
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:57
			You can't compare this to something else.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:46:00
			To me personally, that's kind of a difficult
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:00
			question.
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:02
			Because it makes it difficult.
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:04
			It's not that difficult.
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:06
			That's what it's all about.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:08
			It's about how big the block is.
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09
			The ocean, how big it is.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:13
			Thank you.
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:14
			No problem.
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:17
			You?
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:18
			No.
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:19
			My friend.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:22
			Next to Mary.
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:23
			Me?
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:24
			Yes.
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26
			What do you take away with you?
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:28
			What?
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:30
			Yes.
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:34
			What do you take away with you?
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:35
			Okay, what does that mean?
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:37
			That means...
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:46
			No, it's good.
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:50
			That you should love someone, for Allah's sake.
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:51
			Okay, that's a good one.
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:54
			You, please.
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:05
			Yes.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:14
			Allah Akbar.
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:18
			Yes.
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:19
			Yes.
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:21
			Yes.
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:26
			Yes, please.
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:29
			Yes, yes please.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:43
			Yes.
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:52
			Yes.
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:57
			Yes.
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06
			I can tell you that for next week,
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:06
			if you like.
