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.
