			If Allah subhanho wa Taala rewards regret for sin this much. Imagine how much Allah subhanaw taala
reward regret for missing out on a good deed. They were those that cried out of sadness because they
couldn't worship Allah subhanaw taala in the way that they know is a lofty way, but Subhanallah due

night data. So with that being the night out, and we'll go ahead and get started.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:32
			So hello, I'm in a very particular part of sorts of Toba and it's a very beautiful part of sorts of
Toba and it's the 92nd verse but I want to take you all back to just 10 When Allah subhanaw taala
mentions and we we spoke about this
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:19
			those who are wicked running away from the angels are trying to run away from the angels and the
angels are literally descending upon them. Y'all do reborn I will do How about All right, punching
them as they take their souls beating their faces beating their backs, and saying to them was quite
adorable. How do you taste the torment of the burning and Allah says that it is said to them that he
can be mad at them at a decom one Allah Khalifa be bogged down in a beat. That is because of what
your hands have earned. So this is the reward for what your hands have earned and Allah is never
unjust to his creation. It's how I move on to this. Just in verse 92, of sorta Tober Allah Subhana
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:59
			Allah says, well, Allah Allah Allah Dena, Edina Toka, Lita, Hamina home Coulter, la dee doo, Camino
komati to one lower our, you know, home turf field or Mina demaree has an allergy to biofuel corn,
Allah azza wa jal mentions, there is no blame upon them. Yeah rasool Allah, who came to you and they
were unable to go forward, they had nothing to spend, and they had no capacity to have any mounts
provided for them to go forth and the cause of Allah with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
and when the prophets lysozyme said, I have nothing to carry you. They turned away from the
prophets, I imagine their sadness is captured in
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			ran over missing out on a good deal like Allah tells us about that moment. Their eyes are
overflowing with tears of grief that they had nothing to contribute. Look how sincere they must have
been Subhan Allah that Allah testifies to not just the outward but the inward, right that the inward
was the purest expression of regret that they wish they could go out with the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. Now answer to Toba, which is more famous for of course, another group of people.
And there are multiple groups of people covered but another story of the companions. And verse 118,
Allah azza wa jal says while a fella 30, Lilina Khalifa, right those those three people who remained
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:20
			behind and Elijah didn't mentioned the feeling the sentiment as well had to either walk into it, he
will or will be Morocco, but that it was as if the earth was consuming them. I mean, despite its
vastness, they felt like they were being suffocated by the Earth despite its vastness, while
Nakatani him and foster home, while London and La manager mean Allah that they thought that there
was no escape, escape, no refuge from Allah subhanaw taala or they knew there was no refuge from
Allah except to him. But Allah Subhana Allah mentions, of course, that he turned towards them for
metabo it via tubal that he turned towards them, so that they may turn towards him and Allahu Attila
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:59
			would whine, and Verily Allah subhanaw taala alone as the acceptor of repentance and Most Merciful,
so you're capturing these groups of people right? Now compare the group of people that wanted to go
out for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala, but did not have the means. And Allah Subhana Allah Allah
praising them, to those who Allah subhanaw taala is saying you are being compensated for the evil
deeds that you actually put forward. This is nothing but a desert, nothing but a compensation for
the actual evil deeds that you put forward and hear Allah Subhana Allah saying, and I have not
failed to record the good deeds that you could not put forward for the sincere believers. And so you
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:28
			hear here you have in a Madonna vignettes encapsulated, that barely actions are backed by intention.
But here's what I really want you to sit with, you know, in this previous Jews, this is the reward
for what you did, and this Jews, this is the reward for what you couldn't do. And then you have
those three people that are regretting what they did not do. So you really have all of the the
entire spectrum of emotion in regards to deeds, but here's what I want you to sit with.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:08:14
			If Allah subhanho wa Taala rewards regret for sin this much. Imagine how much Allah subhanaw taala
reward regret for missing out on a good deed. And that's why when no claim Rahim Allah mentions that
a sin that brings you back to Allah Subhana Allah is better than a good deed that takes you away.
Look how Allah subhanaw taala praises these people, for their emotions for their intentions, in the
case of one group, because they couldn't do good in the case of another group because they regretted
the sin that they had committed. And so in conclusion, for those who had no excuse and stay behind
Allah subhanaw taala promised repentance and for those who had an excuse, and couldn't go forward,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:27
			Allah subhanaw taala promised the full reward and in that is the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala
encapsulated May Allah azza wa jal allow us to be amongst those who receive His mercy and who turned
towards him. In all of our states Allah I mean, Chicago la
		
00:08:29 --> 00:09:05
			misma was Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah he was early he was he woman what up? Um, but I do want
you to speak about Musa alayhis salam and his message that he gave to the people there was something
in particular, amongst the many things that Musa alayhis salam said, which is revelation from Allah
subhanaw taala inspiration from Allah subhanho wa Taala never forget that in reading the stories of
the Prophet is that which makes our hearts firm and makes us firm in our faith because we see their
struggle and understanding that the struggle was something that was real, it happened in history,
and also that this is a lesson for us to try to embody particularly with our faith and the actions
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:41
			of our heart to hearts towards Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala as we know what what happened with
Musa alayhis salam was with her own and her own testing Musa and bringing the magician's to try to
counter Musa and the revelation that Allah Allah gave to Musa and the miracles that Allah subhanaw
taala gave Musa but Musa overpowered them. I want to mention something that happened during this
time because in the very beginning Allah subhanaw taala showed that there were those that did not
ultimately believe in Musa wasn't a lot of them and some even scholars mentioned that it was the
elders amongst him that did not believe in Him. When Allah subhanaw taala mentioned is the statement
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:59
			of Musa alayhis salam when he turns to the people, and he says if there are the blemishes on our
gene and chapter units, verse number 84. He says we'll call him Musa Yeah, call me In Kuntum Amman
to Billahi for IE to what kilo? In Kuntum Muslimeen. He says, all my people if you believe in Allah
and are truly me
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:40
			sums in place your reliance on him alone. I want to kind of dive into this verse because the first
thing Musa says, Yeah, call me all my people. So he's calling the same people that were around for
their own, and that were around his, the type of media he tried to use, and the type of manipulation
that he used, and the oppression that he used the tyrant eat through his power and his strength, but
Musa alayhis salam, still being Latif, being nice, being honorable says, oh my people, he's calling
them to this righteous, good message, and he's not giving up on them. He says, Yeah, call me my
people. If you believe in Allah, if you truly believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala In Kuntum M and
		
00:10:40 --> 00:11:21
			tomb, if you are those that have belief, it's interesting to hear how he uses the federal majority,
the present tense form here to show the importance of it. If you are those that believe in Allah
subhanho wa Taala am and Tim Billa. For ie he took a clue, then upon him, put your trust in Him, as
Sheikh Omar mentioned that those are the people that end they cry because they were hesitant. They
were those that cried out of sadness, because they couldn't worship Allah subhanaw taala in the way
that they know is a lofty way, but Subhanallah due to the circumstances, the color of Allah subhanho
wa Taala that took place, but it shows their desire, and their wherewithal and their allegiance and
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:59
			their trust. So here when Musa said upon Allah is the one that you trust in. But then he says in
couldn't tomb, mostly mean. And it's interesting here that he says if you are those that are the
mostly mean, mostly mean here, meaning that you are the ones that have the baseline belief, but also
you have that belief that is recommended and that is obligatory for you to reach this level, to
where if you see a tyrant in front of you, and that he is threatening your life. You're trusting in
the one and you're amongst the few Some scholars say it was the youth that made the statement that
that Musa was speaking to and that accepted his statement and they said that we trusted Allah
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:40
			subhanho wa Taala they trusted him. But the Islam here looking at the meaning of Islam and some
scholars mentioned it's this lovely love it or hate, it is submission to Allah subhana wa Tada and
surrender with unification in your belief, you believe in the Oneness of Allah subhana wa Tada. And
that belief serves as the anchor, and the motivation to trust in Him in times of hardship, and times
where things and things that are in front of you look impossible, where you look as the as the one
that will be defeated. You trust in Him as they trusted in Musa as they trusted in him trust in
Allah subhanho wa Taala and trust it and Moses that he was the one that carried the message, the
		
00:12:40 --> 00:13:16
			result. And as some mentioned, it was the elders that were trying to call the youth back, as he
mentioned that because the elders live life, they live this lavish life or they live the life of
their own. And they they were in fear of their lives, because they live life. And some say they were
they were trusted. They love the dunya they love the situation that they were in. They didn't want
to feel uncomfortable. And that's very important. When we look at the lives of the prophets. They
may call you to something Something may come to you in your life and you know, it's the truth, but
it's uncomfortable. And Moses on a Salam was calling them to submit themselves to Allah, not to him,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:51
			but to Allah by following him, when you see in front of you this tyrant that is calling people to
that which is not beneficial for their app, you know. So in this beautiful verse, we see Musa
alayhis salam, a very important example of trust in Allah subhanho wa Taala because you trust in
Him, anything is possible whether you know it, perceive it or not, because you trust in the one that
created and put everything in front of you. And that is the ultimate form of belief in Allah
subhanho wa Taala So may Allah Subhana Allah make us and then we're talking in that trust in Him in
secret and an open radical orfeome
		
00:13:52 --> 00:14:29
			does that mean that we've handled all sorts of salam ala Rasulillah while earlier he was talking me
he wanted to order the the verse that I want to cover as i a 38 of Surah kotoba is one of the most
powerful reminders in the Quran. If you were to apply it to your context and your situatedness Surah
toe right away. As you know, it's a very heavy Surah it's the only Surah that does not begin with a
batsman and there are reasons for that. But if you think about this particular idea and everything
you've heard up to this point, ask yourself as you break it down, ask yourself how you can apply it
in the in the moments that you're in right now. It begins with at nine references. It begins with
		
00:14:29 --> 00:15:00
			the IU Alladhina amanu at nine times in the Quran. Oh you who believe there's a greater emphasis pay
attention. Malecon? What is the matter with you? Think of this as a lot reprimanding, reprimanding
who representing a group of people at a time in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
gathered 30,000 Plus believers to go out and for the expedition of taboo and to face what was
considered one of the superpowers of the region, the Roman Byzantine Empire. When you think of the
Roman Byzantine Empire and location of taboo
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:38
			Look at the time that this took place in at the end of the Medina and Sita. You have a lot of people
amongst the 30,000 you have a lot of people who are on other parts of the spectrum of faith and you
have amongst the Muslims hypocrites as well. So you heard up to this point there are different
groups of people. Allah subhanaw taala is reprimanding pay attention to the one who's receiving
Malcolm either clean black woman, funeral FISA be the law he can tune in and out. If it is said to
you go out in the path of Allah subhanaw taala there's a command here, go out in the path of Allah
subhanaw taala that you cling to the earth. I'll break down what this means in a moment in sha
		
00:15:38 --> 00:16:16
			Allah. Not only to mill hayati dunya Amina Clara, are you satisfied with this life over the next are
you choosing this life over the afterlife, thermo metallic piety dunya Filati. Luckily, the life of
this world compared to the next life, it's insignificant, it has no value whatsoever in terms of the
raw, the comfort, and the materialism you can possibly pursue in this world. Let's go back to the
beginning. Allah Subhan Allah has reprimanding those who came up with excuses, and this is the 38th
I have the surah after already laying out in the first part of the surah how evil these people are
that are going to face do you have to defend yourselves, there is no other alternative. There is no
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:52
			other option. It's a command from Allah subhanaw taala, based on his wisdom, and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did his part, there are going to be sincere people who really want to go
and as you heard already, they can't go they can afford to go and they are generally sad. They wish
they could partake. They wish they could be amongst those who submit to the Command of Allah
subhanaw taala. In this case, some stayed back. Some came up with excuses. And of course you had
amongst the Muslims you had the hypocrites. When it is said to do such and such go out in the path
of Allah follow the Command of Allah, you cling to the earth. And when you think of itself called
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:30
			Tomb, you might think of why would someone cling to something other than the command of a line, you
can think of so many reasons. It's a long day, in the summer, the heat of the sun, so people were
afraid. And there's there's a real risk to their lives, of course, so your life, the very thing you
hold to be precious is at risk. It's also at the time that the dates were ready to be produced and
to be consumed. And so there is an economic financial reason. It's also very far compared to other
expeditions that took place and most importantly, it is the Roman Byzantine Empire. So some people
are just thinking about the advancements of the military, the might, these are the Romans were
		
00:17:30 --> 00:18:05
			talking about. You want us to just go out and let go of our families and our wives and our children.
And of course, there is an application of this idea there's a context we don't want to remove it
from that context, but we want to take lifelong lessons inshallah Tada, the concept of cultural even
linguistically, a very heavy word on the tongue, that you cling to something, it is a type of
attachment. It's funny to think of your desires, as many of the scholars that have CFC eel out can
be your show what your personal habits if the culture Milan old can refer to your hopes, your To Do
lists, your dreams, your goals, the things that you say I want to do, but eventually the line of
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:41
			death will cut you off from what's ahead. It's inevitable. The question is, what are you doing until
that line emerges? It can also mean as admin Josie Rahim Allah said to your actual physical home
your residence, sometimes people look at their brothers and sisters, under occupation, in different
lines in different places, concentration camps, in wars, and they say, You know what, they have it
really bad, they're very likely to leave this world before me. And the reality is you could leave
this world before them. The reality is anything can affect you where you are, you're not guaranteed
safety in your health, you're not guaranteed safety politically, you're not guaranteed any of these
		
00:18:41 --> 00:19:20
			things in this world. So to choose to disobey Allah subhanaw taala and attach yourself to a dunya.
If the quality material of your home, your country, your physical space, at the expense of the
afterlife, you are choosing something that is essentially foolish as Allah subhanaw taala tells us
not only to bid higher to dunya menial Alfredo, this life compared to the next is not a drop of
water compared to an ocean of eternity. Choose your pleasures very cautiously, because some will
backfire and be a source of pain, and some will end up being a source of eternal relief and eternal
bliss. If I had to summarize it in two words or three words, I would say embrace positive
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:34
			discomfort. Embrace positive discomfort in the path of Allah subhanaw taala you won't find regret
with that. If you neglect it, you will find regret May Allah subhanaw taala grant us sincerity and
also embrace the positive discomfort that leads to that eternal reward alumni me.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:59
			Hello, there's so much here about the connection between comfort and complacency, comfort and
complacency. And you've got to imagine that this is very appealing to everyone, right? Like when you
get to a place where you feel stable, comfortable. Anything that could disrupt that is, you know,
usually not worth it. Unless I have to be forced out of that comfort zone.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:38
			I'm not really willing to embrace that discomfort. And so there has to be sort of an incentive where
you believe in something greater but in the case of, I think what brings us all back together? Well,
I'm no Imelda. I mean, Allah hee, hee la la. Right? So the people that were left behind, they came
to realize that there was no refuge from Allah except back to him that the comfort is actually found
in Allah subhanaw taala in the Command of Allah subhanaw taala. In the case of the hypocrites, they
tried to appeal to that mindset, what did they say? Let him feel awful how like it's hot outside.
It's hot outside, it's going to be a really uncomfortable journey. You know, and the man who
		
00:20:38 --> 00:21:12
			backbite it cabling medical the a lot of times that my other than general the line has stood up to
right and the journey on the Prophet slicin was out with the companions. He said, what he said, you
know, he got held back cab got held back because he was getting too comfortable. He must have been
distracted by Michelle all these gardens, you know, has and you know, it looked in the closet, he
had a lot of nice clothes, he looked outside the alignment, nice gardens and said, You know, it's
probably not worth it. So there is an appeal that's being made a direct appeal to comfort and Third
Culture middle adult, like he beautifully said, it has different connotations in the case of newer
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:52
			headaches around with his son. So are we gonna jump? Right? Let me let me stand on this mountain.
Yeah, I'll see when he may not, it's gonna protect me from the water. This is where I feel most
comfortable. This is where I feel the most stability and the stability was actually causing his
drowning. This the cause of is drowning. In this situation, the comfort was actually the cause of
their destruction. And for us, I think that it's really important you know that it comes back to
incentive. The prophets of Allah when he was on one of the most powerful things that you really
learned from the Sierra is that Allah Subhana Allah to Allah took away. These are the low on who
		
00:21:52 --> 00:22:20
			would embrace them sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was in discomfort. And Allah took away a
bouteille who would protect him. But Allah replaced that with Quran and it were the prophets I said,
I'm found a different embrace now, right? If you think about it, you know, the embrace of Djibouti
it is Saddam sent him so the lie salon seeking the comfort of the embrace of these will be a lot of
time at home. But now the prophets lie some misses up right now. The comforts in the Quran the
comforts in following command of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:32
			But you don't really believe that initially, right? Like initially, you're kind of like, of course,
in the case of the prophets, like some is different. I'm talking about us, right where it's like,
man, like, this looks like a tough journey.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:54
			Thanks, Chuck. I'll bring it back to you converted to Islam, like hesitation. No, yeah, yes. Really,
really uncomfortable. But you know, it's funny. It reminds me one of my friends, you know, he always
says, Man, I just want to go to heaven. I get that was great. He kept it very simple. And what what
you mentioned with him would have consent, but let him fulfill her. What does the law say right
after that?
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:35
			To her, Ron, like you're thinking about this dunya. Okay. What about the Africa? And it's so
beautiful, so eloquent. They're talking about heat, which heat? Are you really afraid of the heat of
this dunya the heat or the hellfire? So when it comes to converting to Islam, when thinking about
life, man, I have to pray five times a day, every day of my life. You have to be responsible. It has
to be a point of time in your life. You say, Okay, what really matters? Do I want to go to heaven?
Do I believe in heaven? Do I want to go there? What am I willing to do for? Right? So it's really
that comfortability, and it's so beautiful faculty feel old, because heavy is tequila and Arabic.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:24:10
			Like what weighs you down? Really what is your anchor that holds you down, that you're willing to
give up everything for it? Right. And that's what's so beautiful that when you cling to the tangible
things of this life, and you forget the intangible, you forget the next life, you see throughout the
son of the process, and he's always reminding the Companions about Allah. The next life, the
rewarding Jana deployments, the totally winter, he reminding people, enticing people and wanting
people to save time, but she run one of the Iran. He's congratulating people, and he's wanting
people. And that's what is so important about the Muslim because the purpose of life for the Muslim
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:32
			is transcendent. It is something that goes beyond this life. Rather, everything you do in this life,
is a form of gratitude for the one that created life. So the purpose Oh, life is not only things in
this life, that's why it's so beautiful in that, in that in certain sorts of totally, because
there's so many answers, even when we're talking about when they were, you know, giving sadaqa you
know, when Abu Bakr gave all his wealth,
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:53
			having the opportunity just to read that story, and you see how the Companions would want to know
how they him at any given moment, they're remembering the outcome and the remembrance of the actor
is what manipulated or not manipulated or influenced them to give up anything in this dunya and
that's what it takes to reach that level. So pardon me law makers from just beautiful
		
00:24:54 --> 00:25:00
			shell you'd like is this example years ago, I started going to the gym and undergrad commercial
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:32
			Have properly Yes. Worked out for a good couple months. And then we had a friend who said, I want to
join you guys. I said, All right, come with us. He's like, just tell me what to do. Literally like
we said, okay, my friend who was with me was more proficient. So he told me, these are your goals.
These are things you want to work towards. He talked to him for a while, then he's like, Alright,
let's start with a bicep curls. So he's his goal, I think was like, eventually he wanted to get like
5050 pounds or something. Anyways, he started first set, and he's like, Guys, this hurts. Like, what
do you think we did over? He's like, Yeah, there has to be a better way. He's he sees themselves
		
00:25:32 --> 00:26:06
			like very intelligence, there has to be like a better way, a shortcut. And my friend told him the
mantra, everyone knows no pain, no gain, he's like, so if you don't embrace that discomfort, you
can't possibly get to the next level. Of course, I That's why I said early, positive discomfort
because we're not justifying every kind of discomfort out there rather, some things everyone
everyone strives, but some things have a return, and they are worth it. And so people get up in the
morning hours all the time, a lot of CEOs get up and they talk about how they make billions or
manage companies getting up early, but it's it's completely cut off from the purpose of life. So if
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:40
			you're sacrificing your sacrifice has to be worth it. If you're embracing discomfort, it has to be
worth it, and know why it's worth it and keep reminding yourself, it's remarkable to think there are
some aspects of Islam that are mentioned just once or twice in the entire Quran. But when it comes
to the afterlife, and the motivation we are in need of psychologically almost half dimensions it
hundreds of times, because we are in need of it. So if we cut ourselves off from the Quran, and
those daily reminders, we're essentially cutting ourselves off from the thing that will help us to
detach to stop being weighed back alone, there's something about the eye or chef or the tomb, you
		
00:26:40 --> 00:27:15
			are pleased with the life of this world. So Alas, parents are blaming the hypocrites of Medina, or
the tomb you are pleased with the life of this world. And what are the prophets lifetime promise the
sincere believers of Medina the onslaught when they came to Mecca, look, we're going to embrace all
this discomfort. All of our alliances are going to be broken, people are going to come for our next
we're going to lose all of our money. We're losing everything from this dunya to take you in O
messenger of allah sallallahu sallam, what do we get in return? Janna province, Einstein did not
give them any worldly promises. Even though if you think about the long run, the gain of Medina was
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:51
			huge, even from pure worldly perspective becomes a world class city with the profit slice. Right?
The unsalted go on to become legends, right? Of course, many of them were martyred, and they
suffered many difficulties. But those that live some of them really found comfort in the dunya. We
sense in the worldly sense after the death of the Prophet's life under the province Isom wasn't
giving them any of those promises. You get Jana, when they're coming back from Mecca, and they're
worried because they see the spoils of war going to some of the recent converts in Mecca. And the
profit slice that I mentioned to them the very famous story that you know, they go back with the
		
00:27:51 --> 00:28:33
			animals and the spoils and you go back with the profit slice them as your share, they use the same
word. All Lina We are pleased with the Prophets lie, some is our share. We're pleased with the Janna
are pleased with paradise. We're pleased with the profit as our share several mornings. So it goes
back to what really pleases you what really pleases you and there's a natural pleasure. But there's
also that divine pleasure you know, that you seek which starts to become, I think it takes you from
a place of seeking safety, to seeking Sakina to truly seeking tranquility sanctuary, like in the
Quran seeking sanctuary, in the life of the Prophet's life and in what exists of agenda and you
		
00:28:33 --> 00:29:09
			know, that that promise from Allah subhanaw taala May Allah as was that allow us to realize that
promise a lot. He reminded me of, I think a a 111 is in the launch that he didn't want me to be in
that I'm in Jenna, step using words of transactions that people are used to in this world because
it's all material, financial, economic back and forth. Allah has purchased from the believers, their
lives, your whole life is for loss of data and your wealth. In exchange for Paradise. It's very
straightforward transaction Subhanallah it's just that idea of you're dealing with a lot here you're
not dealing with with human beings, more horrible. So it's a pseudo Subhanallah of a lot of
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:40
			transaction. much about you know how we turn to Allah subhanaw taala and we have to know what we're
seeking in order to endure what we are enduring for his sake, but the night Tana is like a fish
yesterday man. Talked about the gym. I think y'all need to have a match like a jujitsu. Yeah, he
said, let's go. He said, let's go. Oh, he's gonna grapple Alright, so this is gonna take Jacob de la
