			If I were to ask anyone who is listening today, do you believe in angels? Do you believe in
paradise? Do you believe in hellfire? We would no doubt say yes of course is a central part of our
Eman pillars of Eman.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:01:02
			The question is why you have not seen the melodica with your eyes you have not seen or heard
paradise and hellfire. What is it that justifies our belief what is it that gives us conviction
certainty strength, in our foundation of belief in anoint the unseen. The word alive in the Quran is
found in 60 Different yachts, and it's in different forms as well. The most common form by far is
live or a Lloyd and Allah subhanaw. Taala emphasizes that he is the one who knows Allah will who
you're the one who knows the Unseen. When we talk about the concept of alive there are different
types of unseen but generally, most people when they bring up this question, or are studying belief
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:35
			of the pillars of iman, when they're talking about this concept, usually they are thinking about the
absolute unseen, the absolute, unseen, alive and Mukluk is that which Allah subhanho wa Taala knows
and he has not given us information about there is a type that Allah subhanaw taala has prevented us
from seeing from accessing with our senses, but he has told us about reveal to a messenger, like the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam and informed us for a reason and foremost for a benefit.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:02:18
			As for the type that Allah has not told us about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in
authentic hadith, the keys of the unseen are five and then he recited an ayah What are the keys of
the unseen you find in Surah to Allah and Allah subhanaw taala mentions, we're in the homothetic
rule of Idealia NEMAHA Allah, He has the keys of the unseen meaning ALLAH has knowledge of
everything and there are certain things that no one knows except ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is teaching us clarifying to us, when he says the keys of the
unseen are five and then he recited a different he recited an ayah from Surah flockmen in which
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:55
			Allah subhanaw taala tells us what these things are in Allah hurry them who are in Musa, Allah has
knowledge of the Hour, when does the Day of Judgment begin? Even the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
sallam does not know when they came to ask him. He said I do not know the one who is being
questioned does not know more than the questioner I do not know. Even the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam does not know when the day of judgement is going to begin. The angel that is required to blow
into the trumpet is Seraphin does not know but is waiting for the command. Allah subhanaw taala kept
that knowledge to himself.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:36
			The second Why are you gonna Zeno loi eighth, he brings down the rain. And it's very interesting to
think about how as much as we try as human beings with all the technological advances that we have.
Still we do not know what's happening in two or three weeks. Still, there are drafts, cold and warm
drafts. Still there are disasters, still there are things happening in terms of the weather that we
cannot possibly know. And sometimes even the next day, there is a prediction of what's to come and
it changes. When you notice you don't have like the loss of hearts on the nose. What's coming now,
in a day in 1000 years in every land and every place on every planet in every galaxy. Allah subhanaw
		
00:03:36 --> 00:04:27
			taala has that knowledge to himself. Why are Allah MUMA fill out or how Allah knows what is in the
wombs? Before you know that someone is or is not pregnant, Allah subhanaw taala knows and knows what
boy or girl knows how long they will live and tells the angels who are writing the decree as the
soul is blown into that body into that fetus. Allah Subhana Allah has the angels writing down the
decree of that person that is to come. Number four, one Tajiri enough soon, the taxi boo hada one
Tajiri enough soon be a ye around in 10 moods in a law Holleyman hobby. As for number four, Allah
subhanaw taala is telling us no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow. You don't know what's coming
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:59
			around the corner. You don't know what your future looks like. You don't know what you will
experience of ease or have difficulty. You don't know where your income might change or there might
be a loss. May Allah protect us and grant us wellbeing. And we have the example we referenced in
last week's hope about our brothers and our sisters in Turkey in Syria. And this is one example out
of millions. An example of someone who does not know what's happening the very next day, going to
sleep at night thinking there's a very certain plan for the next day and experiencing something very
different. experiencing something very different
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:21
			People who used to live in some of the tents and some of the camps on the outskirts of the city of
Antioquia. At times, they were looking to go to the city itself to find a family to host them. They
want it to be hosted why in the apartment buildings, something that's more secure a home that is
complete with a door and a shelter and a roof.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:44
			And the reality is after the earthquakes, those who are evacuated in the entirety of the city on
taka evacuated completely, many of them were going to the camps are now being hosted by those who
are in the tents. You don't know what will happen tomorrow. You have no idea what's waiting for you
tomorrow. I'm gonna tell you that enough. So mother, taxi bajada. And then Allah subhanaw taala
tells us you don't know in which land you will die.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:21
			There are people who left here who went to Turkey who went to Syria to visit or to help relief work
and other things. And they passed away in those earthquakes. May Allah subhanaw taala have mercy on
them and accept them as Shahada. You don't know in which land or which place you will die you don't
know who pray janazah upon you, and as you pass away, and you're being preyed upon, like the prayers
that you've seen many times the masjid here and other massage and you have no idea who amongst the
residents of the city will be there for that prayer and who will be traveling and coming through
passing by the city. One time I was traveling for a conference in Norway, and I got there a few
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:56
			hours earlier than I had anticipated the conference was set to begin the next day and I arrived
between I believe maybe right on the verge of Loja prayer ending and right after the Salah it was a
very very, very small audience. Right after the Salah. They basically turn around they said you only
can somebody prayed and as a prayer upon someone who had just passed away, they asked me to leave
the Janaza prayer and I thought it's very weird and very odd that this feeling this thought that
you're coming from a different place in the world passing by a masjid, you're praying janazah upon a
brother or sister you don't know. And the same applies to Mecca and Medina. With all the janazah
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:33
			prayers, almost every single form of prayer there is a Janaza prayer. You're preying upon brothers
and sisters you don't know who will pray upon us when we leave this world. And then Allah subhanaw
taala summarizes and concludes in Allah Alima Hubby, Allah subhanaw taala is all knowing he is the
one who has knowledge of everything. Now we make dua and if I were to ask you how many of the names
of Allah do you know that you can call upon him with you're supposed to use the names and attributes
of Allah, we know of many, but we also know that we do not know every single name and attribute of
Allah we do not have access to all the names, and in the famous dua, the DUA that is authentically
		
00:07:33 --> 00:08:11
			reported part of that dua as you're asking Allah by every name that he has the names that he has
revealed. And then as well, I was thrilled to be here in Malaysia and the names that you will have
kept to yourself the knowledge of which we don't have access to the knowledge of which we don't have
access to when you read the Quran, and you start from the very beginning. You start with certain
Fatiha a lot of people will read the first five out of sorts and belcarra frequently they'll be very
familiar with them. If you read from the very beginning of the most half you find what the very
first characteristic of the believers of the pious you have of course and if la meme daddy Kalki
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:20
			tabula rasa fi This is the book there is no doubt regarding it. Who doesn't didn't want to clean it
as a guidance for those who are mindful of Allah they obey the creator, the very first
characteristic
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			Alladhina you mean on eBay eBay, you will play Moon our Salah
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:52
			was upon whom you feel Kuhn, they are those who believe in a light. The very first trait pay
attention and ask yourself why every single part of the Quran every idea, in its order is there for
a wisdom is there for a reason. And what to clean. Those who are mindful of the Creator are those
who number one believe in alive the unseen
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:30
			they establish their salah, while the models have now come up Akun from what Allah provided them,
they remember their wealth is not theirs. They remember that this belongs to Allah. So they are
giving spending giving and sort of a charity. These are the three characteristics mentioned in this.
And Latina You mean when are behind this formula is very important for us. Live includes belief in
Allah The angels are quick to view but also the books the messengers that you did not see, to
believe in life after death, to believe in paradise and hellfire which you cannot see and detect
directly to believe in God or decree higher than he was shortly the good and the bad, the sweet and
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:43
			the bitter. And there's a really beautiful glad tiding there's good news here. The very first verb
in this is a Lavina you mean noon to have Iman, you know generally is translated as belief. Those
who believe in Allah like
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:50
			the word Eman doesn't have a perfect translation because belief or faith has some limitations.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			The word Eman at its root is linked to another word which is that of security that of safety. Why
what is the link between
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:43
			To believe to have a man and Alladhina you know and and the concept of security. It is because Eman
is something which is secure and it gives us security. Eman is something which is secure and it
gives us security. Eman is something which is secure. And it gives us security as well. So for you
to believe, to have Iman rather, is for you to be in a state of security, in terms of your
conviction in terms of certainty in terms of being strong, as well as security in terms of salvation
in terms of success in terms of reaching the highest levels of paradise. That of course, we cannot
say I have Iman and then disobey Allah and never practice anything of his revelation. Rather, Eman
		
00:10:43 --> 00:11:20
			is in the heart. It's on the tongue and it's in one's actions otherwise Tafseer gem here, otherwise
the devil himself believes in Allah He would be classified amongst meaning if that's all that it
took. He believes in the existence of Allah. But rather Abba was stuck but Allah can Amin al
caffine. No, he's classified as a Catholic, why? rejected, rejected, practicing what Allah
commanded. May Allah protect us and guide us? Imagine if that's one such there was that was rejected
with arrogance and Kufa and envy and jealousy towards Adam Ali Salam. If that's one such that What
about the one who intentionally skips an entire obligatory prayer? Neglecting it and knowing that
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:53
			it's a command of Allah may Allah protect us from any pride in grant us humility? Lama Amin? There's
a beautiful story found in Surah Surah Al Baqarah. About Prophet Ibrahim Ali salaam, Prophet
Ibrahim, as many people know highest levels of an extra one mirage. He was witnessing the highest
levels of the heavens the seventh heaven, given the nickname of the friend of Allah Halina Rahman
Helene, Allah, one of the greatest messengers we learn so much about we emphasize every year,
Prophet Ibrahim alayhis salam Allah tells us that he made a request with quatre Ibrahim will be at
any time UK for Turkey in Malta My Lord show me how you give life to that which is that
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			all the LLM took me Allah subhanaw taala asked him Do you not believe?
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:38
			Do you not have that security in terms of faith? Do you not believe on Ebola? What I can do to my
inner kalbi? He said no, I do believe yes, I believe, but rather to have another layer of
tranquillity another layer of belief, what is this other layer? This different type of belief is
that which is seen I know the Prophet Ibrahim alayhis salam was actively calling people to Allah. He
was debating with a Nimrod the tyrant of Babylon, he was debating with him about the belief in God
and one of the things that was stated also in Surah, turnbuckle, a few years later, one of the
things that he told him is that Allah subhanaw taala is the one who gives life and death. So in
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:45
			Hebrew try to challenge his Prophet Ibrahim Ali Salam is now asking Allah subhanho wa Taala for a
sign of life after death,
		
00:12:46 --> 00:13:24
			as though to say as I'm calling people to to the truth, I want to have be able to say I saw this
myself. I witnessed this morning Jesus, but it doesn't mean he's missing anything of his faith. Now
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us the 100 Hubble was Shakyamuni Ibrahima, if called we
are more liable to seek certainty to seek your clean to have conviction than Prophet Ibrahim Ali
Salam when he made this request meaning you and I are more responsible and required to say yeah
Allah grant me steadfastness yarmulke Lehmann Palooza, bit call me Anna Denecke, one of the most
repeated dua of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Last week, the hope was that we
		
00:13:24 --> 00:14:02
			had we mentioned the examples of many brothers and sisters in Turkey and in Syria, who are
expressing firsthand what they saw or what they experienced if they were survivors of the
earthquakes. Some of them for example, lost 1015 20 family members and relatives on one night to
basically May Allah subhanaw taala have mercy on them. One example is a brother who said I felt like
my Eman was being tested and that everything that I had learned up to this point was being applied.
I felt like my Eman was being tested. And this is the time to answer with everything that I knew was
correct. Now the answer here is not an intellectual theoretical one. You don't have to think
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:42
			intellectually. What did I memorize? What's the right answer? No. The answer here is going to be
based off of your religious state your conviction combined with your emotional state, because grief
is a very powerful thing. He said, Of course I didn't lose my Eman at all. Hamdulillah he said, but
I felt so much grief. What helped me to move forward? I think the thing that drove me forward in
terms of Eman was knowing that the Promise of Allah is true, knowing that there is a life after
death, knowing that those who die with crumbling buildings upon them amongst our OMA are considered
martyrs shahada, he said, so this is something that helped me to move forward. And when I would read
		
00:14:42 --> 00:15:00
			the Quran, I would remember the speech of Allah is the most true of speech, the most truthful
speech, woman US law criminal law here cleaner and whose speech is more truthful than ALLAH SubhanA
wa Tada. So he said, although there was a grief, with the loss of life will help me to move forward
is belief even though I cannot see it believe that what's coming
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			After death is better for me better for us as believers than what we are experiencing in this world.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:41
			One time the Sahaba were having lunch with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam this was reported
by Abdullah on the long run. And one of the companions asked, or some of them had asked Yasuda Allah
Hi Domina Are there people who are better than us? Are there any people that are better than us?
They said, a slim no America had no mark. We embrace Islam with you and we perform jihad with you
think about how many times they were attacked and how many times they had to defend themselves
battle after battle after battle after battle, almost with no break. And the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam said in this report, he said nah, yes, there are a people who will come after you. You
		
00:15:41 --> 00:16:16
			let me know and I'll be they will believe in me when I'm your only but they have never seen me. They
will believe in me, but they have never seen me. Now this hadith reported my student data me and
others, there's a dispute about whether or not it's authentic. Why because of certain words that are
used in this narration, there is another narration that does not say or they are there are people
who are better, rather, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was talking about, I just
wonder at someone who believes in the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, although they have never seen
him. So in this particular area of faith, just this one area, nothing else. We're not talking about
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:30
			superiority of ranks there. There's no generation that's greater than the sahaba. Of course, just in
this area of seeing unbelieving, the Sahaba would say like Abdullah bin Masaru that we have seen the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, but there will be people who believe and they have never seen him.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:17:06
			And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is telling the Companions, it's an amazing thing to
think about, that the people who will come after all the generations thereafter that he had seen
Djibouti. I saw him showed him that woman, all these people will believe in the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and now we are 2 billion Muslims today, but they have never seen him. You've never
seen Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam and yet you believe in him. You've never seen his
miracles, aside from the Quran. You've never seen all the marches that that he was given at that
time. And yet you believe in him. You did not see the 23 years of him struggling to defend the
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:19
			mission that Allah subhanaw taala given you did not see the Companions struggling, some of them
losing their lives, some of the martyred some of them kicked out persecuted by their families and
yet you believe in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sunnah.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:56
			When we say we believe in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, one of the things that increases
that belief is studying the Syrah because when you study the cedar, there is going to be both the
intellectual and the spiritual connection to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the intellectual
and the spiritual conviction as well that you're in increases, so your rabada should be increasing
as well. And this is why Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the opening passage of Surah Topo, we will
clean out your home you will clean when they have a clean certainty, you have clean is considered
the highest level of knowledge you have clean is defined by some scholars as that which no doubt can
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:27
			penetrate meaning you're so certain that there is life after death, you have no doubt whatsoever
Allah subhanaw taala informed you your filter informs you, you know, with details in the Quran and
the Sunnah, that there is life after death. The concept of * is so important for us in the 21st
century, in this year, in particular in year 2023. To emphasize for our generations, even more so
than some of the past generations. Why? Because with all the advancements in science and technology,
with all the discoveries that Allah has blessed us as human beings to access to know.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:19:03
			At times, there will be people who will start to replace their belief in God, their pursuit of
Allah's pleasure with the pursuit of their own desires, their own thoughts, their own conditions,
there will be people who thought in the past we rely upon God who now think what oh, we are
independent of God, because Allah has blessed them with more of a dunya there will be people that
you think the more they study the sciences, the closer they should be to Allah. But the more distant
they become, because of their arrogance, the more closed off they are, the more blind they are to
the truth. And so we are commanded to believe in the hype, in addition to using your senses, your
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:41
			five physical senses, and using your aka your reasoning, a fella talk to you only homeopathy, you
don't yet have a karoun we are supposed to think and reason. We have this faculty, you have the
ability some people have the ability to see others do not. But every faculty you have, in terms of
the tangible world of physical, in terms of what you can observe is limited, but the test of life.
The test of this world is not in that which you can access with your body in your hands, it's going
to be a test of the state of your heart. If the heart is pure, if the heart is pure, even the one
who physically cannot see will believe in the truth. And if the heart is blind, and there's
		
00:19:41 --> 00:20:00
			arrogance there, no matter how many evidences you show a person, like in the time of Prophet Saudi
Haile salaam, like in our times with access to the Quran, no matter how many miracles signs and
evidences you show someone that are tangible or empirical, they will never accept the truth. So it's
not about whether or not you can physically see it's not about whether or not
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:34
			You can hear, it's about the state of the heart. That is one of the essential parts of the test of
this world. When you purify your heart, your heart becomes receptive to the signs to the Ayat of
Allah subhanaw taala, all around us. And within us, there are many people who told told us about
their terminal illnesses. So when a doctor would tell them, you have approximately, you know, six
months, maybe a year, nobody really knows, but to give them some kind of diagnosis. A lot of people
told us sometimes they would seek a second opinion, or third opinion, and every physician, every
doctor gave them something similar. They said, Okay, now I feel relief, I believe now that this is
		
00:20:34 --> 00:21:10
			likely what's going to happen, which is very interesting, why you're not a specialist, you have no
idea what this disease is, how it functions, how it works. It's not your area of expertise. So you
went to someone who knows, you believe that they are qualified, maybe you looked up the best doctors
in your state. And then you got another opinion and a third opinion, and now you feel secure. You
have belief in something you cannot see. There's a man behind here. It's based on what
qualifications and credibility of someone else. It's based on testimony. Testimony is so important.
We believe in things that other people say all the time. You may not have seen, for example, the
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:45
			snow that's coming from another state, but you believe when all the different channels tell you
there's snow coming, perhaps there's a high likelihood that there's snow coming. We believe all the
time. You're driving on the highway driving even to the masjid today, you found there's a certain
area in which there's traffic. So the GPS told you there's going to be a traffic there. It's already
on the GPS take another route. You didn't see it yourself. So you decided to trust and take another
route. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. The reality here is what this Eman below him to
believe in the unseen. It's not blind faith. It's not blind faith at all. It's evidence in many
		
00:21:45 --> 00:22:22
			different ways. But one of the greatest evidences aside from your filter or your natural
disposition, the heart that Allah subhanaw taala gave you the spiritual heart. Aside from that, it
is the fact that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is credible is a person of integrity is a
person who is trustworthy is a person of honesty. And this is why we study data in Abuja, the proofs
of profit. This is why we study jazz and Quran the miraculous nature of the Quran. Because when you
study it, and your reasoning is there, your heart is there, and your heart is present and sincere.
You accept the truth and everything that comes with the Quran and authentic hadith you take with it.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:59
			So your belief in Allah vibe is justified. Your belief in paradise and how far with all the details
that we have is justified your belief in Metallica, even though your eyes cannot see the angels is
justified. And there will be people who will always say especially today, I will only believe when I
can physically see it. That is not the highest level of knowledge. In fact, that is one of the
lowest animals, animals do not have the advanced metacognition that we have, they don't have
athletic like we have advanced thinking and conceptual thought and so on and so forth. They react to
and respond to the physical senses since experience, human beings, many of them are given an honor
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:36
			by Allah subhanaw taala because of the purpose of life, so you think you reason you have conceptual
thought. And you can think about the fact that you are thinking you're conscious of the reality that
you are conscious. Animals don't have that. Allah subhanaw taala gave us that advanced faculty that
advanced cognition so that we focus on the state of the heart, more than just the basic knowledge we
seek with our sense experience. There were people in the past, who said to the Prophet sallallahu, I
said and said about him, why doesn't an angel come down? Like let's see an angel come down with the
one who is supposedly a prophet of God? Well, Paul, you know that when Xena Allah, He Monique. They
		
00:23:36 --> 00:24:09
			were very blunt and very adamant with their arrogance and Allah subhanaw taala said, what happens is
a Nirmala can now hold the camera within Mala Yong Varun is basically an angel came down with the
Prophet, the matter would be over, the test is over, some of them would have still denied and they
will be punished immediately. The test would be over. In fact, the test of life. The test that we
have right now is that there are certain things you cannot see directly with your eyes. But you have
to work with your reasoning and with your senses and most importantly with the state of your heart
being sincere and wanting the truth and then purifying it and reinforcing it after that. Because
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:49
			there will always be people who receive the signs of the unseen and will reject and they're looking
for something that is conditional on their terms. I will only believe in the unseen if X y&z There
have been many atheists and agnostics who were surveyed in the US and North America who are serving
and asked, even though they identified as atheists, do you believe in anything beyond the physical
realm? Do you believe in anything supernatural at all? And many of them the majority of them said
yes. But they would of course reject belief in God. Yes, they believe in certain things, but not
God. And Allah subhanaw taala tells us in Alladhina shownotes being the ye Bina whom I will feed on
		
00:24:49 --> 00:25:00
			to a German cabbie in the Surah we should be reciting every night so that will, indeed those who
believe in Allah and they have a fear of standing on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:35
			and they have a Hashem towards Allah subhanaw taala believe in the unseen, you cannot see Allah
directly here, and your acts of worship when no one is watching you, but Allah subhanaw taala are
being measured are being taken into account, Allah subhanaw taala saying there is going to be a
forgiveness and a great reward. This is the ayah that should drive you for it. Those who believe in
the light they also believe that Allah subhanaw taala will reward them. And if you want to know how
do I reinforce my belief? How do I become stronger in my belief in the unseen turn to the Quran? Who
doesn't even want to clean AlLadhina unibuddy Right, turn to the Quran study its miraculous nature,
		
00:25:35 --> 00:26:11
			the origins of the Quran, turn to the literature, the abundance of literature we have on how you
know the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam is the messenger of Allah. When you study these topics,
your Eman will increase and with it you take everything that the Quran and the Sunnah has, you will
