AI: Summary ©

The speakers discuss the importance of directing people to the One and not to themselves in explaining Islam. They emphasize the power of Allah subhanahu wa'am and encourage those who cannot stand up for themselves to stand up for themselves. They also discuss the importance of helping Muslims and non-Muslims and emphasize the importance of memorizing the Quran and not missing the Day of Judgment. The conversation then shifts to the topic of the solution, which is in the pain and strength.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:25
			We are going like a bullet train, very
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:31
			quickly, and I am just going to say
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			a bit of what is going to be
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			necessary with regards to the name of Allah
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:35
			swt.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			We have had three sisters.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			One who is ten years old, twelve years
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			old, and then two others who have already
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			recited the name of Allah swt, all of
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			them, without mistake, to me.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			But I have not had one single brother
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			that came to me to read the name
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			of Allah swt.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			So who amongst the brothers has memorised the
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			names of Allah, all of them?
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:22
			If the sisters would see how many, then
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			they would be surprised.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			Was that a hand?
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			You think?
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			I don't check, I listen.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			Okay, so anyway, I can see his hand.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			He is shy.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			The brothers have shyness.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			Who will read it with me as well,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			so we already have four, and no man.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			It doesn't really make a difference, any four
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Muslims, of so many.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			So please, memorise them, come to me, if
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			you do so, I write down your ijazah,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			you have your sanad to Rasool Allah swt.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			I mean, you have a sanad in the
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			names of Allah.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			I mean, do you know how big of
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			a thing it is?
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			To be connected to Allah swt, to Allah
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			swt's names through the Prophet, so memorise these
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			names, read them with me, and you have
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			your sanad and ijazah to pass it on.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			So what the sisters need to do now,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			those who have read it with me, the
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			moment they receive their ijazah, they are allowed
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			to pass on these names.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			This is how big of a thing it
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			is.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			So your daughter for example, she can just
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			pass it on.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			It doesn't need to be through me.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			The only thing is, why people would do
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			it with me is not because I listen
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			better than they would, it's because my sanad
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			is shorter, so there are less people between
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			me and the Prophet than those who read
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:53
			it with me.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			But I don't think this should really make
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			a very big of a difference.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			So read with them, read with me, and
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			like this inshallah, spread the names of Allah
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			swt, and then tell your family, when you
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			have this ijazah and this sanad, you tell
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			your mother or your father to read with
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			you.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			You say, come on, let us revive the
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			names of Allah, so that they will be
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			revived in our lives inshallah.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem, Bismillahir Rahmanir
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Raheem, Wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ala Sayyidina
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi, Al-Majid
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			subhanahu wa ta'ala is the same, it's
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			one of these majestic names of Allah subhanahu
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			wa ta'ala, that we had explained before,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:33
			but the name Al-Wahid, Al-Wahid subhanahu
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			wa ta'ala means he is unique.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			He is unique, he is alone, meaning when
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			we say Allah is alone, it means that
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			nobody shares time or space with him, because
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			he is not in need of space and
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:49
			time.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			He has created space and time, and has
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			always existed, even before space and time were
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			created.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			And this is an aqeedah issue, which we
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			are not going to tread into detail inshallah,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			and I would like one day to have
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			an aqeedah class of four hours, and it's
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			just about the oneness of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			ta'ala in names and attributes, which we
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			might be doing sometime soon or not.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			Yes, okay, so that might even be somewhere
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			in the week, for example.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			Anyway, so let us be in the last
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			part, not to go into too much detail,
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			but when you know that Allah is the
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			One, you should direct everybody to the One
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			and not to yourself.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			So when you are on the internet, on
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			your fake book or whatever, then you are
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:38
			going to direct people to Allah through everything
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			you have.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:45
			We should stop inviting people towards ourselves, or
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			towards our food, towards our new shoes.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			Here I am, look, the last Nike Air
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:51
			Jordans.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Any Air Jordan will die one day.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			But a lot of Air Jordan won't.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Not meaning that Michael Air Jordan is bad,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			you know, that's what I'm trying to say.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			He was a good basketball player.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			But use your life to direct people to
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			Allah.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			Because don't be afraid.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			Others will guide them to other things.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			The minority of people guide people to Allah.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			That's what's happening today.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			So be you of this minority of people
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			who remind others of how important Allah subhanahu
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:19
			wa ta'ala is.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			So Al-Wahid also inspires you with Ikhlas,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			meaning doing things for Allah alone.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			And also remind you that you will be
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			with Allah alone.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			Like the Prophet ﷺ said, or like Allah
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:38
			said, وَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَ فُرَادًا كَمَا خَلَقَنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرًّا
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			You have come to us alone.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			Meaning you will be with Al-Wahid.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			Meaning you have come to us alone, like
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			the very day we created you.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			And Allah says ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُهُ وَحِيدًا Leave
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			me alone with the one whom I have
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			created as...
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			Do we say a loner?
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			Someone who's alone?
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:00
			Yeah.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:01
			Anyway.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			So Al-Wahid.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			So knowing that Allah will be the only
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			one you have, you better have him as
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			a friend.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			So then you have As-Samad.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			As-Samad.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			Al-Wahid and As-Samad are very interlinked,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			if we can say it like that.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			As-Samad is the one who is in
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			need of nothing and everybody is in need
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			of him.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			That's what it means.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			So no need to really explain this in
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			too much detail.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			So As-Samad also means the one who
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			is not in need of food, not in
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			need of drink, not in need of sleep,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			not in need of supporters, not in need
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			of bodyguards, not in need of light, not
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			in need of obscurity.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			He's free of all needs.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			Then you have Al-Qadil Al-Muqtadir.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			Al-Qadil Al-Muqtadir is the one who
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			can do everything.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			The one, subhanahu wa ta'ala, who can
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:53
			do everything.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			What this inspires us with as Muslims is
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			that we never come to a point of
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			despair.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			We never despair.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			Because the only reason why you despair is
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			because you have limited Allah to your imagination
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			and understanding of what is possible.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			But all is possible for Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			ta'ala.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			So Allah can do everything.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has the power
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			to do everything and anything.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			And this is why sometimes when we read
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			some stories, like after my khutbah, somebody came
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			to me and said, you should only mention
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			what is in the Qur'an.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			You tell too much stories.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			I said, barakallahu feek.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			And he tried to convince me like for
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:34
			five minutes.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			And then I said, what does Allah do
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			in the Qur'an?
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			نحن نقص عليك أحسن القصص.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			We narrate to you the most beautiful of
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:46
			stories.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			So what are you going to tell Allah
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			Anyway, إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْقَصَصُ الْحَقُّ.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			And this is the most beautiful story.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			And Allah says, these are the prophets.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			Some of them نقصهم عليك.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			We have narrated to you and some of
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			their stories not.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			So anyway, at the end he just left.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			So when we know that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			ta'ala is the Qalb al-Muqtadir, when
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			you read these stories in the books, like
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			there was a man, he believed in Allah
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			jalla wa ala, like Ibn Rajab rahim Allah
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			azawajal mentioned in احفظ الله يحفظك.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			He mentioned a man who was captured by
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			a woman.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			And it was a beautiful man and a
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:24
			alim.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			And she wanted to do haram with this
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			man.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			So while he was walking on the street,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			Ibn Rajab mentions this.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			She pulled him into her house.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			And she said, you will do with me
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			what I want or I will scream and
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			say that you have abused me.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			So now the man said, can I just
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			wash my hands, use the bathroom.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			She said yes.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			So he went to the bathroom.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			And the bathroom is not a toilet.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			The toilets back in the days, they were
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:51
			outside of the house.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			We are one of the first generations who
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			beautified their houses by making a toilet even
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			more beautiful than their bedroom.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			People put like most of their money in
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			a bathroom.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			But before that was just one place where
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			they knew that shaitan would reside.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:07
			So they said, why am I going to
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			beautify any shaitan's house.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			But anyway.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			So now he went to that bathroom.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			And then he said, Ya Rabb, you said
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			in your book, وَمَن يَتَقِي اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			مَخْرَجًا And if you fear Allah, Allah will
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			give you a way out.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			So Ya Rabbi said, this is my taqwa.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			I closed the door behind me.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			He said, but what is my way out?
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			And they said that the wall opened.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			And now when people read this, 700 years
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			ago where people still believed in stories.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			The biggest story that you believe in which
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			seems to be incredible is that the Prophet
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			ﷺ rode on a special horse to the
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			highest skies.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			Everything can happen.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			So then the wall opened.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:50
			The man went out.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			Went to the mosque.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			The lady was looking for the man.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			She didn't find him.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			She told her slave, go and look for
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:55
			him.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			The man came back.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			The lady said, did you find him?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			He said, yes.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			She said, where did you find him?
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			In the mosque.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			What was he doing?
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			He said he was teaching a verse from
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			the Qur'an which says, وَمَن يَتَقِي اللَّهَ
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			يَجَعَلَهُ مَخْرَجًا And he who fears Allah, Allah
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			will give him a way out.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			So when you read these things, Wallahi they
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			exist and they can happen.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:15
			They can.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:16
			Okay.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			So anyway, like for example, if you were
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:23
			to fall out of a plane, you will
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:23
			die.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			Usually you die.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			Some of people survived it.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			They say this is impossible.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:32
			Allah sometimes makes some things happen, which usually
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			don't happen to show you that He can
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			do whatever He wants.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36
			Is that clear?
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			Okay.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			Like for example, that little girl in Turkey.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:45
			After an earthquake, she was under the soil
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			and under the building for, I don't know,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			5-6 days.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			And when they took her out, she was
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			alive.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			And they were astonished.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55
			What happened?
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			Well, there was like a small tube and
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			it was raining back then.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			And that tube just reached her mouth.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			And the water, she was a tiny baby.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			The water kept on dripping into her mouth.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			So she stayed alive and she didn't fracture
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:11
			a single bone.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			So sometimes Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:19
			things to show us, I verily can do
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:19
			whatever I want.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			Usually things are kind of predictable, because this
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			is the way that Allah created the face
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:25
			of the earth.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			Otherwise life would be impossible.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			We need to be able to predict and
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			think how things might go.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			But sometimes Allah does something else.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			And this is عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٍ Never
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			give up, never despair.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			Everything is possible.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			Like that lady that came, and I'm sorry,
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			I keep on talking about this one.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			InshaAllah we will finish the names.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			Like that lady, she came, she was 69
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			years old.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			And she went to a Qur'an school.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			And she told the teacher, I want to
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			memorize the Qur'an.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			The teacher said, went to the teacher and
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			said, where should we put the lady?
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			She said, with the beginners.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			So and then they put her in the
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			classroom, and she was holding the Qur'an
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			like this.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:01
			Do you see what happens?
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			And the other way around.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			And they said, what are you doing?
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			She said, I'm holding the Qur'an, I
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:08
			want to learn Qur'an.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			They said, then you will first need to
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			learn how to read.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			So she was 69, learned how to read,
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			and 7 years later she was Hafidh.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			This was in Saudi Arabia.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:26
			Meaning, when she was 75 or 77, I
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			forgot, she memorized the entire Qur'an.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ It is
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:36
			only you, very often, having not enough confidence
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:41
			in Allah, and reflecting this on yourself, like,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			I can't do it.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			That's true, you can't.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			I'm too old now to go to university.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:47
			No, you are not.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			I'm too old now when I'm 45 or
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			50 or 30, I need to be stronger
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			than when I was 20.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			No, you are not.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:56
			You are really not.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			It is because you limit yourself, and by
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			doing this you have limited in your mind
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			what Allah can do.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			So don't do that.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			Everything is possible.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			And I'm not Anthony Robbins, not Tony Robinson,
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			that's another one.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			Anthony Robbins is the motivator.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			So I'm not trying to do like, everything
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			is possible, be the giant.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			No, no, it's true.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			You are very powerful with Allah SWT, and
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:20
			weak on yourself.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			Allah is المقدّم المؤخّر.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			المقدّم means, He can do things now which
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			you would like to see delayed, and He
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			can delay things which you would like to
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			see now.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			When He wants something now, you can't delay
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			it, and when He wants something tomorrow, you
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			can't make it happen now.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			And this is why Umar ibn Abdulaziz RA
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:43
			said, like Ibn al-Jawzi RA said in
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			his book, Umar ibn Khattab, he said that,
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			sorry, Umar ibn Abdulaziz, he said, I didn't
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:51
			find peace of mind, and tranquility in my
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:58
			heart, until Allah SWT, until Allah SWT, until
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			I made the dua, Allahumma, oh Allah, I
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			ask you not to delay things.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:05
			Is everything alright?
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:09
			Okay.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			I ask Allah SWT not to make me
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:17
			love His decree, until I don't want to
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			see delayed what you want to make happen
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			now, and not make happen now until you,
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:22
			what?
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			I forgot the dua.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			Okay.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			So, are there any questions about what has
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			been said until now?
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			Yes.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			مقدّم, as I said, is the one that
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57
			makes things happen now, and you can't delay
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			them, and the مؤخّل is the one that
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			wants to make things happen later, but you
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			can't make them happen now.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			Is that clear?
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:12
			Well, like Umar ibn Abdulaziz RA said, I
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			didn't find peace of mind until I said,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			Ya Rabbi, when you want to make something
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			happen tomorrow, then don't let me want it
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:19
			now.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			And when you want to make something happen
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25
			now, don't let me want it to happen
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:25
			tomorrow.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			So, it is like submission to Allah SWT,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:33
			because very often we try to fight what
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			Allah SWT wants, and that's impossible.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			Like, why did that happen now?
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			Well, because there is a reason for it.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			And this is the most difficult thing, because
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:45
			it is really about submitting your will to
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			Allah SWT.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			So, المقدّم المؤخّل.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			الأول والآخر has all to do with Allah
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			SWT as being the Lord, being the first
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55
			and the last.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55
			Now, please.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			Yes, in the book of Ibn Al-Jawzi.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			But if you want, I can share it.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			If Khayyam reminds me, I can share this
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			inshallah with him.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:16
			Okay, الظاهر والباطن, even though that Allah SWT
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			is unseen, الباطن, He is hidden for the
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			eye, He is nevertheless the ظاهر, meaning that
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			He is apparent.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			In which way is He apparent?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			Through everything that He has created, He has
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			established the fact that He is there.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			Is that clear?
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			So, He is a ظاهر, meaning that we
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			can see that He is powerful through His
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			creation.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			We can see that He is beautiful through
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			His creation.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
			Through the life surrounding us, He is actually
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			showing us who He is.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			Is that clear?
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			Has anybody got any questions?
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			Because I feel that I'm rushing it.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			الباطن is the one who is like hidden.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			And الظاهر is like the one who is
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:24
			obvious.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			And we say Allah is not veiled, we
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:28
			are veiled.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			And we don't say Allah is veiled from
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			us, we are veiled from Allah.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			Because there is nothing big enough to veil
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			Him.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			If you are veiled, that means that that
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			which veils you is at least as big
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:42
			as you are.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			So, there is nothing which veils Him, but
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			we are veiled.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			Is that clear?
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			So, that's الظاهر and الباطن.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:59
			Then we have الوالي, الوالي is the one
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			who takes responsibility.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			المتعالي, you can explain that in the light
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			of المتكبر.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			The one who is elevated above all flaws,
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:13
			elevated above all shortcomings, elevated above all these
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:13
			things.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			البر is the one who keeps His promises,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			and who will do good for those who
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			respect and cherish Him.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			That is البر.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			We would say that you would ask Allah
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			by His name if you want Him to
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			make you بار, meaning for your parents.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			Because one of the biggest reasons why someone
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			will go to hellfire is because he is
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			bad to his parents.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			So, that's why we say بِرُّ الوَالِدَيْن.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			بِرُّ الوَالِدَيْن.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			So, البر, subhanahu wa ta'ala, البر actually
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			means being loyal to those who are good
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			to you.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			Does that make sense?
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			Can you give me two minutes, inshaAllah?
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			I feel too well.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			And that's also why my explanation of the
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			last names wasn't that concentrated.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			I'm very sorry.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			Okay, so let's go back, inshaAllah.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			So, الظاهر is the one who is obvious
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			while being hidden.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			And الباطن is the one who is hidden
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			while being obvious.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:53
			He's that, and His being is hidden for
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			us.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			But His deeds are obvious.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01
			But His deeds are obvious to us.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			So, this is الظاهر الباطن, subhanahu wa ta
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			'ala.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:10
			And then we had الوالي, المتعالي, البر, and
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			التواب.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14
			What I'm going to explain about التواب is
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			very often what you don't hear.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			Very often التواب is the one who accepts
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			the repentance.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			But التواب means so much more.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			التواب actually is الفعل.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			Meaning the one who does something.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			Not the one who responds to something.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			So التواب is the one reminding you to
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			repent.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			To then accept your repentance.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			Is that clear?
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			So التواب is not just the one, you
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			repent and then he accepts.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			No, it is rather, he reminds you to
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			repent, and then he forgives you.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			So when you repent, you have actually seen
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's manifestation of mercy
		
00:20:59 --> 00:20:59
			in your own life.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			So when you repent, it's not, wow, I
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			repented.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:03
			No.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			It's like, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			Allah wanted to draw me closer to Him
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			by reminding me of my sins, and then
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			to repent for these sins.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			So that is التواب, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			المنتقم, Allah.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			المنتقم is the one who takes revenge.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			But they say He doesn't take revenge for
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:24
			Hisself.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:29
			He takes revenge on behalf of those who
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			have been wronged.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			Because revenge, when it comes down to a
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			human being, revenge is very often a sign
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:37
			of weakness.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			Meaning, oh, I have been wronged, so now
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			it becomes like hatred and envy.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			Like within your heart.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			This is not what Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			'ala has.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			So when we say that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			ta'ala takes revenge, it means on behalf
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			of those who can't stand up for themselves.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			Like a lot of people in Syria being
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			killed and bombarded and so much more.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			Like they can't stand up for themselves.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			The only thing they can do now is
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:05
			flee away and try to survive together with
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			their children.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			And nobody stands up for them.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:08
			No one.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			And those who pretend to stand up for
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:15
			them are very often people who commit these
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			evil acts in the name of Islam.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			So they don't stand up for them at
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			all.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			So if we are going to have a
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			look, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when He
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			takes revenge, it's on behalf of the weak.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			How are we going to put this name
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:29
			into practice?
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			That we are going to stand up for
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			the rights of people.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:40
			And whatever their race or nationality may be.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:44
			Like if we were to be Muslims, non
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:48
			-black Muslims in Africa or South Africa, then
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:52
			we would have stood up for people, for
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			black people to get their rights.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			Even though that they might not be Muslim.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			But we don't care.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			It's about this right.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			And this is how we are going to
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			understand the name of Muntaqim then.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			We are going to stand up always within
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			the framework of the law.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			We are going to stand up and look
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:13
			for a way to help these people who
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			are being transgressed against.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			Like we have now people in Kashmir for
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			example.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			Nobody seems to care.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:26
			The atrocities there are indescribable and horrifying and
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:26
			terrifying.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			But the news doesn't just seem to care.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			When Boris Johnson has a headache, everybody knows.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			But when people in Kashmir are being killed
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			and exterminated, nobody seems to care.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			So we are going, as I said, within
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			the framework of that which is legal.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			We are going to help people who can't
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			stand up for themselves.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			As I said, being Muslims or non-Muslims.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			Like these little girls in Africa for example,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			that need to walk everyday 4 hours just
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			to get some water.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			When they are 10 years old, they quit
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			school because now they are strong enough to
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			carry a gallon of water or two.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			Well, we want to stand up for them
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			as well.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			So this is what being Muslim is about.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			It's not about being there for your community.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			It's about being there for the world.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			So we help Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			So the name al-Muntaqim, you want to
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			oppress people, well we are going to help
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:22
			them.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			You want to oppress people, well then we
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			are going to help them.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:30
			And sometimes people who aren't Muslim do a
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:30
			lot with their money.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			As I said last time with Ronaldo, you
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			got a rapper who is called Akin, who
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			helped more than 600 million Africans.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			How is that possible?
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			So you've got people helping people.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			Like Zinedine Zidane, when there was a flood
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:49
			in Algeria, he spent millions on these people.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			So anyway, this is al-Muntaqim subhanahu wa
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:52
			ta'ala.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			Also when you are transgressed against and you
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			can't stand up for yourself, because the transgressor
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			is too strong and too big, then you
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			are going to say Ya Muntaqim.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			One of the things that the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08
			used to say against these transgressors and oppressors,
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12
			he would say Allahumma inna na'udhu bika
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:16
			min sharrihim wa na ja'aluka fee nuhurihim
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			or nahrihim.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			Which would say, O Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			'ala, we seek refuge with you against their
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			evil and we place them in their necks.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			Meaning, we ask you to break them.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			We ask you to bring them down.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			Okay, anyway.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:34
			Al-Muntaqim.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			Al-'afoo inna al-ra'oof, I remember that
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			we explained what it meant, al-'afoo, and we
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43
			spoke about forgiving and forgetting, and not forgetting
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			and forgiving.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			So I don't need to explain that either.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			So al-'afoo al-ra'oof, we spoke about
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:53
			Malik al-Mulk, same thing as al-Malik.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala the Possessor, we spoke
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			about that in detail.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram, I will come back
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			to that one later.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			Al-Muqsit, we spoke about al-Qist, remember?
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			Al-'adl and al-Qist.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			So I don't need to mention this either.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			Then we have al-Jami'a.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			Did we speak about al-Jami'a?
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:11
			No.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			Al-Jami'a is the one who gathers.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			And this for a lot of people refers
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			to the Day of Judgment, where Allah subhanahu
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			wa ta'ala will gather everybody within his
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:24
			own group.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:31
			Meaning, hypocrites with hypocrites, liars with liars, truthful
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			people with truthful people.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			And that day you will be organized.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			Yani, you will be placed in these groups.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			And the thing is, when you want to
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			leave that particular group, you can't.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			So you see yourself being in the group
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:44
			of liars.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			You say, oh, I don't want to be
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			here, let me go there.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			But if you were a liar, you will
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			stick to that group and you can't escape.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			And you will also be gathered with your
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:55
			flag.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			People will be given flags on the Day
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			of Judgment.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:03
			And like the flag of betrayal, for example.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			The Prophet ﷺ said, everybody will be given
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:05
			a flag.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			And if someone betrayed, he will be given
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			the flag of betrayal.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			So he will be walking like you have
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			these people on Hajj, right?
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			And this is why they say that Hajj
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			resembles the Day of Judgment.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:18
			Everybody gathers and everybody's walking around, there's chaos
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:18
			and so much more.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			So people will have these flags and you
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			will say, oh, I didn't expect him to
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:26
			be a liar, or a cheat, or whatever,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			a thief.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			But it will be said then.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:33
			So everybody will have a flag defining what
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			his core characteristic was in the dunya.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			Okay?
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			So this is al-jam'i.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			You will be gathered with your troops, with
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:44
			your groups, with your heroes.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			Prophet ﷺ said, al-mar'u ma'mal ahab.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			You will be with the one you love.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			So if you love that singer, well, ya'mu
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			qiyamah, you're with that singer.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			If you love that, I don't know, this
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			Bollywood star, well then you can go with
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			that Bollywood star.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			But there are no trees there to dance
		
00:27:59 --> 00:27:59
			behind.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03
			So you will be gathered with everybody.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			That day, no trees, no mountains, nothing.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			So what are you going to do then?
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			So you need to make up your mind
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			and decide with whom you want to be
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:13
			that day.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			With whom are you going to be that
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:16
			day?
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20
			Because you will be gathered with the one
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			you look up to, and the one you
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			love, the one you talk about, the one
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			you cherish.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			Who is it?
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:24
			You see?
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			So this is al-jam'i, subhanahu wa
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:27
			ta'ala.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			And al-jam'i will also bring back
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			people with their families in paradise.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38
			وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِيَّتُهُمْ بِإِيمَانٍ
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:47
			أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِيَّتَهُمْ وَمَا أَلَتْنَاهُمْ
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:52
			مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			رَهِيمٍ You see?
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			This is why it's nice to memorize the
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:56
			Quran.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:57
			You see?
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			It's nice, huh?
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			Okay, who would like to memorize the Quran?
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			What is the reason that you don't do
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:05
			it?
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09
			What is the true reason that you don't?
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			Share it with me, and then we continue.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			Memorizing with errors, okay.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			Taking care of the errors doesn't take as
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			long as memorizing the Quran, so start with
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:22
			it.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24
			So that's one.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:24
			Somebody else?
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			Are there some people who say, it's not
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			for me, I don't think I can do
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:28
			it?
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30
			Who thinks that?
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			One.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			My nephew.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:35
			Somebody else?
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:36
			You?
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			Okay, good.
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			I don't mean good, but...
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant all
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			of us memorization of the Quran.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, and
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			those who believe and were followed by their
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53
			family in belief, we will join them, we
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			will gather them together in paradise, but as
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			their deeds will be different, كُلُّ أُمْرِئٍ بِمَا
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			كِثَبَ رَهِيمٍ and everybody will have his own
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:04
			degree in paradise, even though being gathered.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			So this is the last thing I want
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			to mention, this is strange.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			Like families will be together, but everybody will
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			have his own level.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			How does that work?
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:19
			Well, you yourself will see things in the
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			same environment, which the others can't see.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			And you will eat what the others don't
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			eat, but they don't see it as something
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:26
			different.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			But you will see it as something different.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29
			You will smell something different.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			You will hear something different.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			But nevertheless you are all together.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			And this is what this ayah means.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			They will be together in paradise, but everybody
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			according to their own level.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:39
			Yes, salam.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			Isn't this beautiful?
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			Like people in a cinema room, for example,
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			they are looking at the same movie, but
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:47
			they have different chairs.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			One is premium, the other is not premium,
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			the other is down, the other is up.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			But they are exactly looking at the same
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:53
			thing.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			But here it is different.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			The thing you will be looking at is
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			different, but the space where you are is
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:58
			the same.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00
			See that?
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			So subhanAllah, Allah is incredible.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			الجامع الغني Al-Ghani subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:13
			is the one who possesses everything and is
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			rich, but not rich because he possesses, but
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:21
			rich because he is rich as he is.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:23
			What do I mean?
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:24
			What makes us rich?
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:25
			Our possessions.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			Allah is rich without possession.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			And he possesses everything, but that's not what
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:30
			makes him rich.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:33
			He is rich.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:34
			Is that clear?
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			Meaning that he is not in need to
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			possess anything to be rich, because he is
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			rich in all these beautiful attributes and names,
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			in his power, in his knowledge, in everything.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			So he is not in need of anything.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			He is not in need of being reminded.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			He is not in need of being protected.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			He is not in need of being guided.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			He is not in need of being shown
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			anything or neither of being informed, because he
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:56
			is rich.
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:59
			From the moment you need something to do
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			something for you, then you are poor.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			And this is as I have said before,
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			the richer you become in dunya, actually the
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			more it shows that you are poor.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			Because when you are rich, you need a
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13
			driver, you need a pilot, you need a
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:16
			secretary, somebody to take care of your shoes,
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			somebody to cook for you.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			So the richer you are, the more dependent
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			you become in this life.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:22
			Ajeeb.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			And this is how Allah shows that nobody
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			is really rich.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			The richer you get, the poorer you are.
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:31
			Subhanallah.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			And this is why we are rich with
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:33
			Allah.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			This is the true richness, the richness of
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			heart.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			Excuse me.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			The best way to use the name is
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			to ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala not
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			to make you emotionally dependent on people.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:54
			Because being emotionally dependent turns us into beggars
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:54
			for attention.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			And we only beg Allah.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			So when you are emotionally dependent, you are
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			really a slave of people's reactions.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			And people, they change all the time.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			Today they are happy, tomorrow they are not.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			Today they love you, tomorrow they hate you.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:13
			So when you are emotionally dependent on people,
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15
			your life will be a roller coaster.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			But when you depend on Allah jalla wa
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:19
			ala, your life is only going upwards, never
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			downwards.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:23
			So you ask Allah Al-Ghani, Please Ya
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			Rabbi, this is the most difficult thing Ya
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:25
			Rabbi, subhanallah.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			Don't make me emotionally dependent.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:33
			Just let me understand that you suffice for
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:33
			me.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:34
			You are sufficient.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			Al-Ghani subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			And Al-Mughni is then the one who
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:39
			gives you this richness.
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			The richness of soul that you then ask
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:42
			for.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44
			It's like Al-Ghani is the state and
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:45
			Al-Mughni is the action.
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			Then Ad-Dar ila Al-Nafi.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:52
			Ad-Dar is the one who harms.
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			But this seems to be very strange.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			Does Allah harm?
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			Well, no He doesn't.
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00
			He doesn't.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03
			But according to what is in our eyes,
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:06
			something can be of benefit, and something can
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:07
			be harmful.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:10
			So they say Ad-Dar and Al-Nafi
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			should be mentioned together.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			Meaning that He didn't only send down the
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			affliction, but also the solution.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			Not only the disease, but also the cure.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			Not only, for example, the fierce animal, but
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			also the knowledge how to capture it.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			So He's Dar Al-Nafi.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:28
			Is that clear?
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:30
			And this is why the Prophet s.a
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:34
			.w. said, مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ دَاءً إِلَّا وَأَنزَلَ
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:37
			مَعَهُ الشِّفَاءِ Even in Hadith you memorize Asim.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:41
			So Asim, we refer to him when he
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:43
			memorizes the Qur'an, because that was one
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:43
			of the Qur'an.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			And in Hadith, how should we call him
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:45
			then?
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			One of the Muhaddithin.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:51
			Excuse me?
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:53
			Okay.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			Asim.
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:58
			Asim Al-Kawthari.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			Is that good?
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			Okay.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:04
			So we have the Prophet s.a.w.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			saying, that there isn't any disease or Allah
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			has descended for you the cure.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:11
			This is Al-Nafi and Al-Dar.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			You see?
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			And Al-Nafi Al-Dar is also the
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:17
			one that puts the cure in the disease.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:21
			Like for example, the venom of snakes can
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			kill you, but it can also save you.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			This is Al-Nafi Al-Dar.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:29
			The solutions are in the problem, the cure
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:30
			is in the pain.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			No pain, no?
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			Allah Akbar.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:36
			Which Hadith was that?
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:42
			So, do you understand what I mean?
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			Like the cure is very often in the
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			disease, and the solution is in the problem.
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:49
			And the strength is within the weakness.
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:52
			And the trust will be found in the
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:52
			well of despair.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			And this is Al-Nafi Al-Dar.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58
			And this is what our scholars say, these
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			names should always be mentioned together.
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			Because if you just say Al-Dar, that
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:07
			might be considered to be negative, when no
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			names of Allah are negative.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:09
			So Al-Nafi Al-Dar.
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			And then we have Al-Nur Al-Hadi,
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			which go together.
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			Al-Nur Al-Hadi.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			Allah s.w.t is Al-Nur.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			When we say Nur, we don't mean physical
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:20
			light.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:22
			Don't understand it like that.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:22
			Yes?
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:25
			Al-Nur, like Abdullah ibn Abbas r.a
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:28
			mentioned, like Imam At-Tabari r.a mentioned
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:31
			in his Tafsir, when Allah says, Allahu Nuru
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:33
			Al-Samawati Al-Ard, Abdullah ibn Abbas said,
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			Ay Allahu Hadi Al-Samawati Al-Ard.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			Allah is Nur, Allah is the guide, guidance.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			And this is one of the ways that
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42
			the Arabs used to refer to guidance, is
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:42
			light.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			Guidance is light.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			Guidance is light.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:48
			So Allah s.w.t is the guide.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:49
			And it's obvious.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			But He's also the grantor of light.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:55
			On the Day of Judgment, it will be
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:55
			dark.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			And the only light that you will have
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:00
			will be the light that will be given
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			in exchange for your good deeds.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:07
			Rabbana Atmim Lana Noorana O Allah perfect our
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			light.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			And about the Munafiqin, what does He say?
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:16
			Kullama Adha'alahum Mashaw Feehi Wa Itha Adhlama
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:21
			Alayhim Qamu And about the Munafiqin, their light,
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			because they were doubters in this life, a
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			bit of Iman and a bit of Kufr,
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			both of them.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			So Allah s.w.t says, every time
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:31
			their light goes on, their body will be
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			enlightened.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			They what?
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34
			They start walking.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			Wa Itha Adhlama Alayhim Qamu And when their
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			light goes away and they're in the obscurity,
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			they stop.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:45
			Then Allah resembles it to a lightning.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:48
			The lightning, and then there's light, and then
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			they're without light again.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:52
			So this is Allah s.w.t will
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:53
			provide for light.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:55
			And this is what we ask when we
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:56
			go to the mosque.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:57
			Allahumma Ja'al Fee Qalbi Noora Wa Fee
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:59
			Basari Noora Wa Sami'i Noora Wa Basari
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:01
			Noora O Allah give me light in my
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			hearing, my sight, my heart, my grave, my
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:04
			actions.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:06
			So you ask Allah s.w.t always
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			for this light.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10
			And then Al-Badeer, we spoke about that.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:14
			Al-Baqi is the only one who remains
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			when everything perishes.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:19
			So stick to the one who never perishes,
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21
			and you will always exist.
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:24
			Insha'Allah, thanks to his grace s.w
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:27
			.t. Al-Warith is the one who will
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:30
			inherit everything, and he's the only, do we
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31
			say inheritor?
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			We say it like that?
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:33
			Inheritor?
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:35
			So Allah s.w.t is the only
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:36
			inheritor.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:43
			Allah will inherit the earth and everything which
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			is on the earth.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			Because everything belongs to him, yes.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			Exactly.
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:53
			But that means that everything will come back
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:53
			to you.
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:57
			He's the only one who inherits what he
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59
			possesses, because it only belongs to him.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:01
			So that's actually a metaphor, if we can
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02
			say it like that.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04
			Everything he will inherit it.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			Everything is his and will come back to
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:06
			him.
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:07
			That's what it means.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			Then we have Al-Rashid.
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:15
			Al-Rashid is the one who always makes
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:16
			the right decisions.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			We don't say Allah makes decisions.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			Allah just does and commands.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:24
			Making a decision is not after pondering it
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:25
			over, thinking it over.
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:27
			Allah s.w.t just does.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			But we believe that Allah s.w.t
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:31
			is Al-Rashid, and we ask Allah for
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:34
			Rushd and Rashad.
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:37
			Rushd is not just doing good, it is
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:38
			doing the best.
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:41
			So this is why when you do something,
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:42
			you ask Allah s.w.t. When you
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:45
			know that something is good, ask Allah whether
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			this is best.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:48
			Because you always have choices.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:51
			And Shaytan, when you can do two things
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:55
			which are good, he will always lead you
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:58
			to doing the lesser of two goods, where
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			the least hasanat are present.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:03
			And the last one, and then we are
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			done, Alhamdulilah Rabbil Alameen, and the last one
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			is As-Saboor.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			And As-Saboor, we already spoke about Sabr,
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			and about the degrees of Sabr.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			We said there is a Tasakhut, there is
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:14
			a Sabr, there is a Ridha and a
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:15
			Shukr.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			We've mentioned them already in the classes, so
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:18
			I don't need to explain this either.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			And it's also obvious what we ask Allah
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25
			s.w.t. by His name.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:28
			We ask Allah s.w.t. by all
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:28
			of His names.
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30
			The first name of them and the last
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31
			name we have mentioned.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:34
			We ask by the power and the beauty
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:38
			behind each of these names to give us
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:41
			the beauty which hides behind all of these
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			names in our lives.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44
			We ask Allah s.w.t. by His
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:48
			beautiful names and His high attributes to have
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			mercy on us, to protect us, to make
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:52
			our day a good day, to inspire us
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:55
			to be righteous, to make us patient, to
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			take us by our hands to what is
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:59
			better, more powerful, more righteous and more right.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			There is no god but You.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			O Lord, we ask You by every name
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:05
			to bless Your Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family as
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			You blessed Abraham and his family.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:12
			O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family as
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			You blessed Abraham and his family.
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			You are the Praiseworthy, the Glorious.
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:17
			And all praise is due to Allah, Lord
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18
			of the worlds.
