Luma Oh Hiya, la comunal kita recite what has been revealed to you off the book? Welcome is Sala and
established the prayer in na sletten her Anil fascia a well known call indeed prayer prohibits
immorality and wrongdoing. What are the crow law he Akobo and the remembrance of Allah is Great
while La Jolla Allah momento snur own and Allah knows that which you do. Over here. Apparently the
command seems to be for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam however, firstly he is addressed but
after him, every single person who is listening to this is being addressed that aluma Oh hiya la
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:39
			come in El kita recite whatever has been revealed to you of this book, meaning this book, The Quran
has not been revealed in order to be put away this quote has been revealed. Why so that it is
recited and recited not just for oneself for personal worship and reward, but recite to others as
well. And how is it that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam implemented this? We see that the
prophets on a lot of them recited the Quran in his Salah, outside of his Sunnah for himself, and
also he recited the Quran to others. If he recited the Quran, just for himself, then would the light
of Eman would the light of guidance would the light of this being wouldn't reach the people would it
		
00:03:39 --> 00:04:24
			spread out? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recited the Quran at every occasion to people he
taught them the book. And for this, all we need to do is just examine the Syrah and see how
frequently the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recited the Quran. And after tilava what is
mentioned over here that will, Seamus Allah established the prayer because from among all the
practical acts of worship, we learned that Salah is the most important why is it the most important
because in Asana that then her Anil fascia he will mooncup indeed Salah it prevents a person it
prohibits a person from committing immorality and wrongdoing. The fact is that Salah has a great
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:59
			impact on a person's personality on his manner, on his etiquette. So Allah is something which brings
humility to a person, it creates modified Allah in the heart of the slave. It increases the
conviction in the meeting with Allah subhanaw taala. And also Most importantly, Salah is what
establishes a connection between the servant and his Lord. So Salah when a person performs it
regularly, properly the way he should perform, then what happens it affects his entire life. It
affects his thinking, his mind his lifestyle.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:47
			While it changes his entire life, and this is why we see that Salah is of utmost importance when it
comes to the acts of worship. Because if you think about it in a Salah, what is the person doing, he
is basically engaging in the remembrance of Allah. He is cutting himself off from everything in this
world, so much so that he's not even looking right or left. He's not even saying what he wants to
say. This is the amount of self control that a person has to practice in his prayer. So this Salah,
definitely it has an impact on the rest of the life of the believer also, when a person is
performing Salah, what is he doing? He's humbling himself. He's bending himself before Allah. And
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:33
			what is the lesson of sauna what is the practical effect of sauna, that outside of sauna also, a
person learns to bend himself to humble himself before Allah, that a person is willing to give up
his ego to give up his wish to give up his desire when it comes to the command of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. So, when a person learns to restrict himself within the limits that Allah has set in Salah,
then what happens outside of Sala also, a person is able to refrain from forbidden matters in the
salata tanha and in fascia, he wellmune calm and we see that Salah is a conscious effort to remember
Allah subhanaw taala and what happens outside of sauna is that a person develops the habit of
		
00:06:33 --> 00:07:21
			remembering Allah and this is what produces the poor. This is what produces consciousness of Allah
soprano Donna, and this is why the Prophet sallallahu Sallam once a man came to him, and he said
that he Otto suta Allah, so and so person he prays in the night and when morning comes this man he
goes and commits theft, meaning in the night he prays and in the daytime, he goes and commits
serious sins. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, what he is saying will soon prevent him meeting
his prayer will soon prevent him from the wrong that he is doing. So Salah is the key to
transformation, it is the key to personal reformation. It is the first step in personal reform. And
		
00:07:21 --> 00:08:09
			we see that because of Salah, a person's previous sins are erased, and his present state is also
reformed. Once the Prophet sallallahu Sallam held two branches of a dried up tree. Just imagine fall
season dried up branches and the prophets are a lot of them held them and think about it. If you
would hold it what would happen, the leaves would fall immediately. So the prophets have a lot of
them held the branches and the leaves they fell. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said indeed the
Muslim servant performs the prayer, desiring by it allows face and the sins fall off from him. Just
as the leaves fell off from this tree, Salah it destroys the sins of a person. It helps him get rid
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:56
			of his past sins. And it also helps him get rid of his presence in his presence, things that he
cannot get rid of Salah helps him get rid of bad habits. And then what is mentioned after a sauna,
that one of the court of law he a couple. the remembrance of Allah is the Greatest. It is the
greatest meaning it is greater than any good deed that a person could be doing. And at this time, I
would like every person to be involved in the vicar of Allah, leave your phone, leave everything
right now and focus on the the color of Allah. Right now. The Quran should be our attention and
focus everybody please sit up straight, no need to lean against the walls. Everybody set up straight
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:42
			hamdulillah and the Quran should be in front of us and we should be looking at the Ayat of Allah.
Because we have not come. We have not left the comfort of our beds and the comfort of our homes just
to spend time on our phones. We could be doing that at home also. Right now. Let's focus on the
Quran. Allah says Allah the Quran, Allah He a kebab. The Vicar of Allah is the Greatest. What does
it mean by that? Meaning it is greater than engaging in the remembrance of anything else, of
anything else. It is a deed which when a person is involved in them, it is the best deed which a
person could do. Meaning it is the most precious blessing that a person could have. That he gets the
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:59
			ability that they'll feel to remember Allah because how many people there are, who are apparently
involved in a good deed, but their hearts are distracted from the remembrance of Allah. So what do
they get from that good deed from that Salah.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:50
			One African, Allah says that they don't remember a lot much even in prayer. When a Quran Allah
Allah, Allah Allah. So the vicar of Allah is the greatest blessing that a person can receive. And
this means that if a person is able to remember a law easily, then he should consider himself very,
very fortunate. And if a person is far from Allah, they could, then this is true misfortune. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, should I not inform you of the best of your deed, and the
purest of them with your master, the best deed that you could perform the purest deed near your
master, and the highest of them in your ranks, and what is better for you than spending gold and
		
00:10:50 --> 00:11:34
			silver and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks and they strike your next
meaning, the best deed that you could perform, the Sahaba said, of course, your rasulillah the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, the remembrance of Allah the Most High. This is the best deed that a
person could be engaged in more other than Jebel said, there is nothing that brings more salvation
from the punishment of Allah than the remembrance of Allah, meaning this is an act that protects the
person and the vicar of Allah. Of course, it includes the recitation of the Quran, it includes
performing Salah, but it also includes the test to be heard saying so panelist panela he will be
		
00:11:34 --> 00:12:21
			handy he Alhamdulillah Allah Subhana Allah, Allah Allah Ameen saying La Ilaha Illa La La hawla wala
quwata illa Billah meaning saying all of these words, of glorifying of praising Allah on the tongue,
but remember that the real remembrance is that which is in the heart. The real remembrance of Allah
is that which is in the heart, that no matter what a person is engaged in, no matter what they are
involved in, no matter what they are doing, they are thinking about Allah subhanho wa Taala. They're
aware that my lord is watching me, my lord is listening to me. And each action is bringing the
servant closer and closer to Allah, that no matter what a person sees, who is it that he remembers,
		
00:12:22 --> 00:13:11
			Allah, the greatness of Allah settled in the heart of the servant. This is the true remembrance of
Allah. And at the end of the ayah, Allah says, Allah who you are now Matheson our own, and Allah
knows that which you do, meaning none of your actions are hidden from Allah, none of your actions,
whether you perform them secretly, or openly, publicly or privately, in the prayer or outside of the
prayer, no matter what you do, or Allahu jamoma does not own wala to God do lol kitabi illegibility
here, our son, and do not argue with the People of the Scripture, except in a way that is best
meaning anytime you do argue with anybody, even if they be the people of the book, those who don't
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:54
			agree with you, those who disbelieve in the book that you believe in, then do so are you how with
good luck in a manner that is best meaning Do not let go of your of luck, except for those who
commit injustice among them and say, we believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed
to you and our God and your God is one meaning talk on common grounds, and we are Muslims in
submission to him. And thus we have sent down to you the Quran and those to whom we previously gave
the scripture believe in it. Meaning those who truly believe in the scriptures that Allah has
revealed. When they come to know of this Quran, they will believe in the Quran also. And among these
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:40
			people are those who believe in it, and then reject our verses except the disbelievers will not go
into that lumen public human kitten, and you did not recite before it any scripture because the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam was unlettered, he did not know how to read he was not well read at all.
When at the hotel will be me Nick nor did you inscribe one with your right hand, meaning you never
expressed yourself in the form of writing in the form of poetry, either alone table mobile alone,
otherwise the falsifies would have had cause for doubt, meaning then those who reject you, they
would have a doubt that perhaps you have made this Come on up. You have invented it yourself. The
		
00:14:40 --> 00:15:00
			fact is, that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam recited the Quran, and he was a man who was unlettered,
who had never read a book, who had never been formally taught, who had never written who did not
know how to express himself. And we know that people who have never learned the art of writing the
art of expressing themselves.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:47
			Even in the form of art, or any form of art for that matter, whether it is color, or it is through
language, or it is through poetry for them to spontaneously all of a sudden come up with the Quran
as eloquent as this. It's impossible. So the fact that the Quran was recited about the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam given who he was, is a testament to the truthfulness of the Quran, but who am by
Hina. Rather, the Quran is distinct versus preserved within the * of those who have been given
knowledge. Whereas the Quran preserved in the heart of those who have been given knowledge and non
reject our verses except the wrongdoers. We think that if we have preserved the Quran, reflections
		
00:15:47 --> 00:16:36
			in the Quran, in a blog, or perhaps in a book, we have done our job, the real preservation of the
Quran is where it is in the heart of a person will call a loo and they say, Why are not signs
miracle sent down to him from his Lord, say the signs are only with Allah, he decides which one to
send, and I am only a clear Warner. And is it not sufficient for them that we reveal to you the book
which is recited to them is the Quran not enough of a miracle? Indeed, and that is a mercy and
reminder for people who believe the Quran is a mercy and reminder for those who believe, meaning the
stronger a person's faith is, the stronger a person's love and adoration for this book is than the
		
00:16:36 --> 00:17:25
			stronger his reflection will be, the more he will learn from this book, and the more mercy the more
guidance he will receive from this book. So it all depends on a person's a man. And he man is about
having faith conviction that he has this is how this is of benefit to me. This is true, this Koran
is what has solutions for me, this is what I love. And when a person approaches the Quran with this
kind of conviction and adoration than what we received from the Quran, only Higher, higher upon
higher goodness upon goodness, this Quran will be a source of guidance for him, it will be a source
of reminder and mercy for him. But if a person dislikes The Book of Allah doesn't believe in it with
		
00:17:25 --> 00:18:07
			conviction than what will happen even if the Quran is put before him, he will not receive any Lima.
Any call from this book, say sufficient is Allah between me and you as a witness, he knows what
isn't the heavens and earth, and they who have believed in falsehood. And this believed in Allah, it
is those who are the losers. And they urge you to hasten the punishment. And if not, for the decree
of a specified term punishment would have reached them, but it will surely come to them suddenly,
while they perceive not. Because when a person is doing something wrong, when he's not caught, when
he doesn't suffer, he begins to feel that he is doing right, and then he becomes arrogant and
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:53
			stubborn on the wrong that he is doing. So Allah warns over here, that the punishment will come
suddenly, while they perceive not. They urge you to hasten the punishment. And indeed, * will be
encompassing of the disbelievers. On the day, the punishment will cover them from above them, and
from below their feet. And it is said, taste the result of what you use to do. punishment from above
and below. The punishment of * is very serious. It is real. We don't think of it as real. We
don't think of it as actual real pain, physical pain. We think that yes, perhaps some people yeah,
they will be punished, but then eventually they will get used to it eventually they will finish No,
		
00:18:54 --> 00:19:38
			this punishment is real. It is ever enduring. And it is everlasting. And one should beg Allah that
Oh Allah, you protect me from the fire. You save me from this terrible hellfire. I don't want to see
it. I don't want to go in it. I don't want to be touched by it. The servants of Allah, the true
worshipers of Allah, they bank a lot to protect them from the punishment of the Fire. We see this
and the doors that Allah mentioned in the Quran, that how Allah servants, they ask Allah to protect
them from the punishment of the Fire, we think of ourselves as guaranteed to be saved to be
protected from the fire. Or if we think of the fire, we don't think that it is real punishment. It
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:59
			is real punishment. The prophets all of a sudden used to seek forgiveness. He used to beg a lot to
protect him from the fire, because this punishment is very, very severe. Look at this. The
punishment will cover them from above them and from below their feet and this is fire. Fire. I don't
know if you've seen images of people who have been struck by
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:24
			The heat wave in different parts of the world, that how they're seeing pouring water on their heads.
They're seeing, struggling to buy ice, struggling to find some shade, and really being afflicted by
the intense heat of this world. The heat of this world. What do you think about the heat of the
Hellfire, which is meant to be punishment?
		
00:20:25 --> 00:21:13
			What do you think about that? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, the person who will have
the least punishment from amongst the Hellfire, on the Day of Resurrection will be a man under whose
arch of the feet you know the arch of your feet, right the bend under that will be placed a
smoldering Ember a burning coal. And because of that, his brain will boil, meaning the heat will be
so intense that it will reach up to the head. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, the fire will eat
up the human body except the mark caused by the prostration, meaning the sudduth meaning the parts
of the body which are used for servitude, the seven bones, the hands, the forehead, the knees, right
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:50
			and the feed these parts of the body fire will spare the rest of it, they will be consumed. And what
this shows to us is that there may be a person who performs regular prayers, who performs Salah
because he performs to Jude. But because of the other actions that he does, and he is not seeking
forgiveness from Allah and not seeking refuge with ALLAH against the fire, what will happen he will
end up in hellfire. And so his body will be consumed burned by the fire and the only part spared
will be which part the parts which touch the ground when a person is doing subdued.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:22:42
			So this is something that we need to really consciously ask Allah for that he or Allah saved me from
the fire, this should be our regular draw. Every day we should make a law along a journeyman and not
a llama in the role of becoming an ally seek your protection from the punishment of the Fire.
Because the punishment of the Fire is indeed very painful. Allah says Yeah, everybody, all my
servants, and levina armano those who have believed, indeed my Earth is spacious, so worship only
me, meaning never compromise on worshiping Allah subhanho wa Taala. Why? Because the earth of Allah
is vast. If you are not able to worship Allah in one place, then leave and go elsewhere, where you
		
00:22:42 --> 00:23:26
			find yourself stronger, and better able to worship Allah. This doesn't just mean that you should
move from one country to the other. No, sometimes it means switching your company, switching your
school, maybe switching your job, maybe whatever it may be. Any change that a person brings about in
his life in order to better worship of law, than that is a form of hated law. And that is what we
are being told to do. That if ever you find yourself weak in any place, in any situation, in any
position, where you feel that you cannot worship Allah, then leave what is preventing you from
Allah's worship, but don't leave the worship of Allah. Why? Because every soul will taste death. You
		
00:23:26 --> 00:24:03
			are not going to live in this life forever, then to us will you be returned and you will be
answerable for what you have done, and those who have believed and unrighteous deeds, we will surely
assign to them of Paradise, elevated chambers, elevated homes beneath which rivers flow wherein they
abide eternally. Excellent is the reward of the righteous workers, workers, those who strove for
Allah, Who are they? alladhina sabado we're allowed to be Mia, toa Kowloon, those who have been
patient and upon their Lord, they rely.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:52
			So what are the two things that lead a person to Jenna, Southern and tawakkol in every matter of
this Deen and every matter of the dunya also, every matter of Deen and every matter of dunya that
for example, if a person is fasting, he is fasting with Subbu patiently for the sake of Allah and
relying upon Allah not relying on the humongous hold that a person ate, or relying upon the 15 hours
of sleep that he can manage to get in no tawakkol on who Allah azza wa jal and this is true with
respect to Deen and also with respect to the matters of dunya. That when it comes to, for example,
seeking cure, or for example, when it comes to earning money, earning an education, finding a
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:59
			spouse, teaching your children, training your children, anything in life that a person could be
involved in solving
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:47
			And tawakkol those who bear patiently the hardships for Allah sake, and they rely upon Allah and
reliance upon Allah means that they're striving for improvement. They're striving to better their
situation. They're working to improve their condition. So those who work in this life strive in this
life and as they do Arma they do suffer and tawakkol then these are the people who will be rewarded
generously by Allah. What can a human but in letter Miller, his or her, and how many a creature
carries not its own provision? When you see the birds migrating? Do you see them carrying their
nests with them? Never. What do they have on their backs? Nothing? What do they have clutched in
		
00:25:47 --> 00:26:37
			their feet? Nothing. What do they have in their beaks? Nothing. Then how are they traveling from one
part of the world to be other relying upon who Allah who provides them? Allah we have Zuko ha, Allah
provides for it. What a year comb and Allah provides you also the Lord who provides all of these
creatures, whether it is the ants, or the fish, or the birds, or the wild animals, whoever it may
be, who provides for them, Allah. So the same Lord provides you also, these creatures, you don't see
them carrying their food around, carrying their money around, carrying their homes around, and they
go from one place to the other, constantly changing their homes, their dens their nests, and who
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:54
			provides them food and shelter, no matter where they go. Allah provides them so why do you worry?
Why do you worry? in Hades we learned that if the son of Adam were to run from His provision, which
Allah decreed for him, the way he runs from death,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:45
			then his risk would reach him, his provision would certainly reach him, just as death reaches him.
kind of person escaped death, can he no matter what he does, no matter what plan he comes up with,
can he managed to escape death? No way. If it's not one accident, it will be some other disease,
eventually a person will die. Likewise, if a person consciously strives to avoid the risk, the
provision that Allah is sending his way can be avoided, no way he can never avoid it. What is meant
to reach him will definitely reach him. Because Allah is he is the ultimate provider, the one who
provides for every single creature. It's amazing how you don't see trees laden with berries and
		
00:27:45 --> 00:28:29
			fruits. But you see so many birds and so many squirrels running from here to there flying from here
to there. Where are they getting their food from? A lot more of them. Allah is providing them. It's
amazing how little little creatures they're storing their food for the winter months. Where do they
find it from? How do they find it? How are these little little bodies, little bodies so vulnerable?
living in so much danger, but yet Allah provides them. So why do you not have faith in Allah? trust
in Him, He will provide you well, who was sent me earlier, and he is the hearing the knowing, so ask
him for what you need, and he knows what you need. If you ask them who created the heavens and the
		
00:28:29 --> 00:29:19
			earth and subjected the sun and the moon? They will surely say Allah, then how are they diluted? If
he is the one who's doing all of this, then how can they forget him? How can they not have trust in
Him? How can they despair in him? A lovely up super rich Kalima, Yeshua, amen. Everybody, welcome,
Allah. Allah extends provision for whom He wills of his servants and restricts for him. Indeed,
Allah is of all things knowing meaning of there's constriction in risk, then in that is also Allah's
wisdom. And if Allah has expanded the provision for a certain slave of his, then in that is also his
wisdom. So this is all ullas Division, so do not be angry, rather ask him with patience, having
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:59
			faith in him. And if you ask them, who sends down rain from the sky, and gives life thereby to the
earth after it's lifelessness Who does that? Allah does that. They would surely say Allah say
Alhamdulillah All praise is for Allah, but most of them do not reason. It's amazing how you go to
sleep at night, there's no signup rain. And you wake up in the morning and you see it's all wet
outside, the rain came it fell without even you knowing about it. And Allah, He brought the dead
land back to life without even you realizing it does
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:23
			And it happened so often, that you have plants outside and you forget to water them. And then when
you go outside, you see they're still alive. In fact, they're better than how you saw them last.
Why? Because Allah has been sending rain, keeping those plants alive. If this was left to us, then
what would happen not a single plant would be alive today. Believe me, not a single plant would be
alive today.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:40
			But Allah is the one who brings life to the dead land. He is the one who keeps his creation alive.
You don't. He is the one who provides for his creation. You don't. Your provision also depends on a
law
