Tahir Wyatt – O Allah Make Us Steadfast

			I'm going to try to make this a content I'm not a lecture
		

			and inshallah
		

			hopefully you'll walk away not just with inspiration but with something that you can implement in
the lights and in your lives.
		

			Before I begin just by a show of hands, how many of you have heard of celestial? istikhara?
		

			Okay. hamdulillah How many of you have memorize celestial istikhara? Okay, that's a significant
drop.
		

			I want us to notice something at the very beginning of that had eaten this is not about celestial
istikhara but it's about the beginning here with Javon Abdullah. Well, the Allahu taala and whom he
says, we use them you I leave when is the hora comma you alumina surah.
		

			The Prophet sallallahu wasallam would teach us the istikhara the way they would teach us from the
time in other words, memorize the words.
		

			And what's added is also important, not just what you asked for, not just that we say it's from our
hearts, which is very important.
		

			But that you do your best to call upon a loss of hand with added the way that the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam called upon him
		

			like a ministry of Oh cough here in American Islamic education
		

			would be a * of every message to teach the Dr. The prophet Isaiah Salatu was sent in, I think
it's so important that we the regular Muslims, that we begin to implement those edits via the eyes
of the prophet Isaiah select to send them in our lives. And so either the prophecy
		

			of campaigns or he would teach the campaigns do I from those from those two ads that the province I
send them with teaches campaigns is to do it it's quite long, we're only going to focus on the
beginning part should that have been oh so the Allahu Tana and we said can interview somebody or
send them you alumina and Nicole the province I send them use to teach us to say, and in some
narrations, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam used to say this in every salon, Aloma in ESL oka
civetta. Phenomenal azima tala rushed to the end of the Hadith is quite long. I want to focus on
those two questions from the prophet Isaiah Salatu was sent in with those two requests. So a loss of
		

			habitat a llama in ESL oka
		

			Oh Allah I asked you for Tibet. Being steadfast on your de fille amor here is referring to Islam. So
give me the bat on Islam make me steadfast in my practice of Islam. And I think this is an important
point for us because every one is subject to fitna till everybody is subject to be asked and agree.
And then the grave were asked what I'm asking you, Malibu. Okay.
		

			You got to help me out here. What does that mean? moderate book?
		

			Who is your Lord? But is it mean? In this sense? Are you being asked? Who do you believe created the
heavens and earth only? Or are you actually being asked? Who you worship? Who is your Lord here? A
book actually asking you Who? You worshipped? Medina.
		

			What's that mean?
		

			What is your religion?
		

			Big, big careful. A lot of times we oversimplify this stuff. It's not asking you what religion you
think is the truth? Or is your name, last name or a DC last name? And then you say that that you're
a Muslim is asking you. What did you practice? So, Medina, venial Islam, my religion is Islam. That
means you have to practice something from the deen. It's not just enough to walk around with a cart.
It says that I'm a Muslim woman to be you. And who did you take? As your Prophet, the one whom you
followed his instructions? I think it's a lot to him. So the point here is when we're asking the
Lord for Tibet, we're asking him to give a steadfastness on this Deen. We're going to be asked about
		

			our steadfastness. Did we really practice this Deen or not? And so we want to be steadfast. The
second part of this, what we're focusing on is Alemany Assetto, Corsa basophil, Mo Wallasey metalla
brushed, and we asked you, I asked you to give me a firm resolve firm determination to be rightly
guided or brushed on a stop at this word is going to be the end of what we talked about today. But
I'm going to explain it the way that Allah subhanaw taala explained it in the Quran. Because another
thing that's important is not just that we learned the words of God
		

			For example, you're going around the Kaaba, between the Yemeni corner and the black stone we say
		

			and it never dunia has no flash it has no pinata, but not
		

			all, I'll give us the good of this life, the good of the next night save us from the punishment of
the Fire. But do we really understand the implications of what we're asking for? A lot of times we
don't, until we give it some thought. And so we're asking a lot here to be steadfast upon his D. And
we're asking him for firm resolve and determination to be rightly guided for rushed. But what does
rushed me?
		

			Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran, Allah eco whom are washy, do they are the rightly guided,
they are the ones who have rushed Who? Who was a last minute added. Where does that idea come? I'm
even asking some of the I know some of you who follow my show La, la eco Houma, Rashida. They are
the right the guy that and by the way, one of the things we've had a look at one of the first
lessons that we took when I was many moons ago, when I started my Master's in Medina.
		

			Our teacher actually used to make us bring in the book
		

			and read and stop at every pronoun. And say, what does that pronoun refer back to? Because you're
not going to understand language? If you don't know who the Who's he Who's she who's it who's de la
eco Mirage, Ito they are the right the guy who was the last minutes out of talking about Allah says
at the beginning of that IOI demo and the fecal masuleh know that amongst you all is the messenger
of a low
		

			low you to comfy cathedra Mini me that I need to if he were to obey your wishes and many things, you
would actually suffer. So he's not coming to obey your wishes. He's coming to bring the rissalah to
bring the message of a loss of habitat. If he did what you all wanted to do. Then you would actually
suffer from that. And then Allah Subhana tada says lack in the LA hub Baba la como email
		

			was a yena houfy kulu become, but Allah made Eman beloved to you. He endeared Eman to you was a Yana
who feed Hulu because it made it pleasing to your hearts. So not only do you love a man, but you're
pleased with the man and that's two different things. You might love somebody and not be pleased
with them. You may love something and not particularly like it.
		

			But Eliza Jones made he man beloved to them. And he man here is not just talking about something in
the heart. It's talking about your faith. It's talking about your statements. It's talking about the
actions of Islam, they become beloved to you. And we can ask ourselves and acquire well I this is
stuff that's important for us and especially as we raise our children to teach them to love Amen.
How What's our language around select? Because Allah azza wa jal calls Salaam amen in the Quran?
What's our language around Salaam do we say? Oh yeah, well, let's just pray so we can get it out the
way and then we can go do a B, C and D do we use that kind of language? Or do we actually love
		

			select the prophets I sent him said Juhi let's put what to it for Salah my enjoyment has been made
with salah and the prophesy son of a saint to be original. And he bring us comfort through this
salon. A lot of us a eration our minhang that brings us comfort by getting it over with
		

			let us have comfort despite it despite that. So what is our language around amen?
		

			Do we really love it? are we teaching our children are we teaching our children to love it? are we
teaching the next generation to really love faith?
		

			He says so they love faith was a you know houfy kulu was a you know ficolo become? Well Carla Hey
les Come on. cofra wolfrum sukawati, ca, la ecomo Rashida, and they despise Coco. And they despise
defiance and food, and they despise alessian are disobedience to a loss paradigm. So they despise
everything that is opposite of faith or that can't that is contrary to faith, whether it destroys
faith from the very foundation which is covered or whether it attacks the completion of faith, which
is a full suit which is referring to major sins or LS yen which is referring to two minuses they
despise those things. And we have to understand I don't want somebody will come here and take a
		

			soundbite and say oh that's hate preaching. It teaching us to hate. Well our Prophet it is select
with Sam said men have been in there, wherever the Linda what after the lead woman and in Africa the
statement and email whoever loves for love and hates for the sake of Allah and he gives for the sake
of Allah and he withholds for the sake of Allah is completed. Amen. And those who
		

			don't have those qualities have not completed faith. We're not talking about hate for the sake of
hate. We're talking about hating sin, because it creates a barrier between us and Allah subhana wa
Tada. And that's the important part here. Not just that we hate the consequences. Many of us may
know people who have fallen into sins. They don't necessarily Hate the sin, but they hate the
consequences of the sin. So they hate the fact that they got caught cheating on their spouse. Not
that they actually did that action, and it pushed them away from their relationship with the loss of
hematite and Toba
		

			is translated into English is what
		

			repentance repentance actually means Islam. So you're fixing your relationship with the loss of
Hannah was added because when you sin every time we sin, we're messing up part of that relationship
with the loss of habitat and so we hate for those things to come between us and the one we love so
kinda who what time Okay, so, again, the believer the Rashid, when we ask Allah for firm
determination to be rushed for rushed, we're asking a lot to make amen beloved to us, and that he
makes those other things that are contrary to human despise to us that's a larger agenda you have to
believe in an Amen we wouldn't use a you know who people who Vina
