Taimiyyah Zubair – Qur’anic Pearls Day 30 – Divine protection

			Salam or aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		

			Are the Billahi min ash shaytani r rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem wa Salatu was Salam ala
rasulillah Hill Karim rubbish. Rahi Sabri were Siddeley emri wash Lola rock that Emily Sani Yahoo

today's session of Quranic pearls, which is our last session today, in sha Allah, we will be looking
at sola coonass from Jews number 30. And today's topic is about divine protection, about seeking
refuge with Allah subhanaw taala against our greatest enemy.
		

			Our author Billahi min ash shaytani r rajim, Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, all are all there'll be a
lot been nurse say I seek refuge in the lord of mankind. Melih keenness the Sovereign of mankind.
Isla hiddenness the God of mankind. Men, Sherrill was worse ill Han nurse from the evil of the
retreating whisper. And levy us we soufeel saluting nurse, who whispers evil into the chests of
mankind, mean Elgin Natty oneness from among the jinn and mankind from the beginning shavon has been
an enemy to human beings. And shaitan is always seeking ways to take people away from Allah azza wa
jal to mislead people from the straight path. So in this surah, we are being taught as to how to
		

			deal with this great enemy. And the way we deal with this enemy is that we seek refuge with Allah
azzawajal. Because with the protection of Allah, a person becomes stronger, and the plot of shaitan
comes to nothing. With the protection of Allah with the help of Allah, a person is able to reject,
and counter the whisper of shaitan, than the whisper of chez Pon does not have any effect on a
person. And with the strength of faith, a person is actually able to receive the ability to do more
good than and this way, a person is able to win against this enemy, this enemy who is shavon, who is
after every single one of us. So we see that the last surah of the Quran, at the end of the Quran
		

			Surah coonass offers us necessary guidance, guidance that we are in desperate need of in order to
protect ourselves from the plot of shaitan. So in this surah, what are we doing? We are seeking
refuge with who with Robin ness with the rub of people with mellie can nurse with the Sovereign of
people with Isla hiddenness with the God of people, and we are asking Him as our gela to protect us,
against what against the evil of what's worse in harness against the evil of the retreating whisper,
the shaytaan who is the root of all evil? And you see the greatest evil, the greatest fitna of
shaitan is that he whispers into us we so few so do it in NASS right into the chests of people, and
		

			then he invites people to do wrong. How, by making wrong appear as beautiful by presenting evil as
good and shaitan incites and urges people to disobey Allah soprano tada shaitan strength strengthens
their will to disobey Allah. And at the same time shikon makes people dislike and resent the doing
of good deeds. shavon weakens people's resolve to obey Allah and shaitan greatly deceives people and
this is why we are being taught over here that we surrender ourselves we give ourselves entirely in
Allah's protection against the evil
		

			capon because that is the only refuge and safety that we have. And you see over here, it has
mentioned very clearly, the che plan whispers into the chests of people, you see your chest, your
Southern is your most sacred space. Because this is where your life is centered, this is where your
heart is. And the heart is what is connected with the rest of the body. The heart is what leads the
rest of the body. It is what sustains the brain also. So when shaitan tries to whisper into the
chest of people, What is he trying to do? He's trying to overcome them entirely. And so it is very
important that we pay attention to our inner space. How do we think? What kind of thoughts do we
		

			entertain? What kind of thoughts do we entertain about ourselves about Allah subhanaw taala about
other people, because it is through these thoughts. That che plan tries to lead us astray. And a lot
of times what happens is that in this inner space, we become very unkind to ourselves. And this is
how again, Shelton weakens us from the inside, in order to overcome us in order to defeat us, in
order to make us in order to make our connection with Allah subhanaw taala. Weak, now Sula to nurse
is a very unique surah, about which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Do you know
that last night certain verses were revealed? The like of which there is no precedents, meaning
		

			there is nothing like these two Sutras, and these two solos are coolaroo the Bureau of Bill Falak
and pull are all the bureau beingness which together are called the more or with attain the two
sources through which we seek refuge with ALLAH and surah two ness is one of the best ways of
seeking refuge with Allah subhanaw taala the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, or even our
best, shall I not inform you of the best words of refuge that those who seek refuge ever use?
Meaning Do you want to know the best and most effective way of seeking God's protection against evil
against che plan against any danger? And even our best said Bella, yes or messenger of Allah and the
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, pull through the Bureau of Bill Falak Ruby Robin NASS
these two sources. So these two sodas are the best way of seeking refuge. It is so unfortunate that
people even though they know the sutras, they don't have faith that the sutras are a means of
protection. Instead, they would rather go to someone who can give them a necklace or a charm to wear
or someone who can, you know, read something on them and, you know, give them something to eat or
drink and things like that. Whereas the recitation of these two Sooners is the best way of seeking
refuge and we have been taught to recite the sutras after every Salah. In a hadith we learn that Obi
		

			Wan Ahmed said that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam commanded me to recite the
morrow with that, meaning, the surah to Falak and surah to ness, after every Salah. He instructed me
to recite the sutras after every Salah in other narrations, we learn about reciting wallula
headcollar, with the brockville, Falak amcal are with a bit of bananas, these three sutras every
after every single Salah for our protection. And if we recite these Sutras, three times in the
morning, and in the evening, then this is sufficient to protect us against every evil, because the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam said that the recitation of these soldiers three times in the morning
		

			and three times in the evening, will take fee come in cliche, they will suffice you against
everything. And you see incircle Falak, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us against the evils,
that the physical evils, the evil that we are surrounded with evils that we can see evils that we
cannot see, you know, evil of the night evil of of the of the magic of the magicians, and in Surah
two nasware asking Allah subhanaw taala to protect us against che plan. So these are soldiers that
we should really make a habit of that we recite them in the morning in the evening after every salah
and we should teach these sutras to our children, and don't just teach them and then let them you
		

			know, recite whenever they want. Make a point that your children are reciting the sutras. You see
these days, all of us are afraid. We are afraid to shake hands. We're afraid to touch anyone. We are
you know, afraid to touch anything.
		

			thing, constantly, we're cleaning our hands. We're wearing masks, we're practicing social
distancing. And yes, we need to take these precautions. Absolutely. But at the same time, we also
need to take precautions, how? By seeking refuge with Allah azza wa jal, because, you know, just
like the virus is something that we cannot see with our own eyes. shaitan is a certain danger, a
certain enemy, whom, again, we cannot see with our own eyes. So we need to beg Allah subhanaw taala
to grant us the safety and the protection that we so desperately need. Because you see the virus,
yes, it is something dangerous, but its impact is only worldly, right? May Allah subhanaw taala
		

			protect us all milissa panel thought to bring healing to those who are in difficulty. May Allah
subhanaw taala bring this all out of this difficulty. But the point is that, you know, an a worldly
illness, a physical illness, right? Sooner or later it goes or worldly difficulty is something that
eventually comes to an end. But the danger of shaytaan, the threat that Shay pawn poses at us that
danger is everlasting. And if shaitan leads a person astray, if shaitan gains power over a person,
then what does that mean? That means that a person will suffer in * in jahannam will area to
Billa. So, this is the danger of shape plan, the evil of shape Han is a is an evil that is greater
		

			than any other evil that we know of. And you see, you know, there are people who are vulnerable to
certain dangers to certain illnesses, right, the risk is greater. But when it comes to the evil of
shaitan, than remember his trade plan is an enemy to every single one of us. All of us are
vulnerable, all of us are in danger. And so it is essential that we beg Allah azza wa jal, we asked
him to protect us against the evil of shaitan in the morning, in the evening, after every salah and
we also teach our families we remind one another to seek refuge with Allah. So let's look at the
meaning of the surah. Allah subhanaw taala is teaching us over here, all rules will be Robin nurse,
		

			you should say that I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind, meaning I seek refuge with the rub of
people. Why? Because He alone is able to protect his slaves. You see, first of all, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is being addressed that could you say, but the application over here is
general. So every believer must say this, every single one of us should say this call Ruby Robin
nurse, that I beseech the help and protection of the rub of people. I asked him to protect me to
save me. The question is, who is robinus? Rob is Lord Master, Rob is the nourisher and sustainer,
the one who creates the one who provides and nurtures and that by definition also means that he
		

			provides safety. Because when you're looking after something, you are ensuring its growth, you also
have to ensure that it is protected in safe. So for example, if you have a plant at home and you're
taking care of it and you want that plant to grow,
		

			it's not enough for you to just put it in sunlight, and just you know, every now and then make sure
that you are giving it water, you also have to make sure that it's protected against any anything
that could cause it harm. So for example, if you have a pet at home that could potentially damage
the plant, you make sure that that plant is safely put away, right that that pet does not have
access to that plant. So nurturing, providing sustaining ensuring growth also means providing
safety. So Robin NASS, first of all, we say that I seek refuge with Robin NASS the Lord of all
people, who is the only Rob of all people who has created them, and who nurtures them, who takes
		

			care of their affairs, who sets things right for them. So we are seeking refuge with him. But isn't
it the case that Allah subhanaw taala is the rub of everyone or Bella aalameen the rub of the
world's not just off people. Yes, Allah subhanaw taala is the rub of all creatures, the angels and
the jinn. And the fish and the birds and the animals any all creatures are, you know have been
created by Allah Subhana Allah is the Lord of all things.
		

			But then why do we specify over here that I seek refuge with the rub of people, because we are
people. And as people, we are acknowledging over here that Allah is our rub, and that we are in need
of his aid and protection. And it is only Allah, our rub our Creator, our sustainer, the one who
regulates our affairs, who can truly protect us from what we fear, who can truly save us from the
danger that we find ourselves in. And another reason why we say Robin ness is because out of all the
creation, people it is human beings who are respectable, right in the sense that Allah subhanaw
taala has chosen human beings over the rest of the creatures. So we are acknowledging over here,
		

			that Allah is even greater, because he is the rub of all people. Yes, people may be powerful. Yes,
people may have a lot of strength and a lot of ability and, and a lot of brains and a lot of skills.
But Allah azza wa jal is actually very Lord, the one who created them, the one who owns them, the
one who has power over them, so we seek refuge not with people, but with the Lord of people. And
remember that Allah subhanaw taala, who is Robin NASS, Rob Bella alameen. A rub is one of the names
of Allah and Allah subhana wa tada sustains all of his creatures. And we see that Allah subhanaw
taala, he provides for not just the worldly needs of people, but he also provides for their
		

			spiritual sustenance and for their protection against the enemy. shaitan Allah subhanaw taala is the
one who saves them. So Allah, He is the rub of all this is his rubia Rama. But when it comes to the
believers, those who seek refuge with him, those who worship Him and seek His help than Allah
subhanaw taala he is, he is especially their Lord. So this is rubia hasa Ibrahim alayhis salam
praised his Lord as a lady Hello Connie, for Who are you Dini, the one who created me so he is the
one who guides me, well, lady who are up rimoni were skinny, and he is the one who gives me to eat,
and also gives me to drink what either Maria to for Hawaii ashvini. And when when I fall ill He is
		

			the one who heals me, well lovey, you need to need some Mohini and he is the one who will cause me
to die, and then he will resurrect me again. So from the beginning of my existence, until the end,
and everything in between, Allah is the one who takes care of me. My love is the one who takes care
of me. Remember that Allah azza wa jal rob the Lord, He is the one who fulfills the needs of all his
slaves. And this is why when we need protection, again, we turn to Allah, we seek protection with
him. In a hadith in Sahih, Muslim we learn that Allah azza wa jal says, All my slaves, all of you
are lost except for those whom I guide, so seek guidance from me, I will guide you, all my slaves,
		

			all of you are hungry, except for those whom I feed. So seek food for me, I will feed you, all my
slaves, all of you are unclothed, except for those whom I give clothing to so seek clothing from me
and I will clothe you, all my slaves, all of you commit sin by night and by day, and I am the one
who forgives all sins, so seek forgiveness from me and I will forgive you. So this Hadees
beautifully tells us that whatever need we have, Allah is the only one who fulfills that need. Allah
is the only one who provides for us so that those needs are met. So when we need protection also,
who is that that can protect us? It is our Rob Robin ness. This is why we begin by saying, rule to
		

			be Robin NASS, I seek refuge with the Lord of people. And then Melly kin NASS, the rub of people is
also the Melek, the Sovereign of people. You see, there are two other names of Allah, which are
similar to the name Malik, and these names are Malik and Malik. So there are multiple Names of
Allah, very similar in meaning, and all of them remind us of the fact that that authority and
ownership is with Allah alone. Allah is the only one who possesses absolute control and absolute
power over everything in a set that Malik is the one who has complete possession and control of some
		

			thing, but Malik is the one who in addition to that, also has the power to implement his command to,
to execute his will. So many can ness, Allah subhanaw taala is the real, the true the actual Malik
and Sovereign of people whose decree and command regarding them prevails for Allah Allah who will
medical help. Yes, there are many creatures who have some level of power and authority, but their
power is not absolute. Their authority is not complete, and it is not necessary that what they
decide prevails. And we see that Allah subhanaw taala he is the real and medical Hulk he is Millican
ness, the skies and the earth are in his control, and none shares his dominion at all. No one
		

			besides Him is the real owner. Every owner besides Allah is a temporary feeble owner whose authority
whose control is limited, whose ownership is short lived. And we see this we witnessed this in the
world, that great kings they're born and they die, great presidents, they come and they leave right,
this is the reality of the creation, that we do not have absolute authority and power, especially
over human beings. We see that there are you know, brutal leaders who are you know, able to force
people to to commit grid atrocities. But, you know, while while they may have control over, you
know, some aspects of people, they cannot have control over their hearts. They cannot control that
		

			they cannot break their spirits. So many can NASS the real sovereign, an owner of people is who it
is Allah azza wa jal, he has so much authority and control over people, that he can even change the
hearts of people. Right, he can change the way that people think. So, Allah subhanaw taala Mulliken,
NASS before him, all kings and all rulers are nothing the entire earth and skies are in his grasp.
Yet, Allah azza wa jal calls us every night and says nl Malik nl Malik. I am the king. I am the King
manvir levy you're the Rooney for estar de Bella, who who is it? That will call upon me so that I
will answer him Subhan Allah, Allah subhanaw taala is the medic of all people. Yet he invites us
		

			that we should call upon him. Yet he invites us that we should ask him, we should seek forgiveness
from him. So he is many kin ness. And then ila hiddenness, the God of people, meaning Allah, Who is
the rub of mankind. The Maalik of mankind is, in fact, the only ILA of mankind as well, meaning the
only one who is deserving of their worship. And remember this, as human beings, no one deserves our
worship other than Allah or xojo. There is nothing at all, no one at all, that deserves our worship,
except Allah subhanaw taala. And there is no god besides Allah, and the only God we need is who?
Allah subhanaw taala because Allah is enough for us. So he is Isla he naps. And it is for his
		

			worship, that Allah subhanaw taala created us. And it is for his worship, that Allah subhanaw taala
sends messengers to people over and over again, to remind them to call them to the worship of Allah.
Right? We learn that one malloc to general ins in lallier boon and I did not create gene and men
except that they should worship Me, the prophets of Allah set to their nations or Buddha Allah, man,
a common Illa in zero, all of you should worship Allah, you have no God besides Him. So Allah is
Illa him ness. He is the real, the actual god of people, meaning the only one who deserves their
worship. And the fact is that all people are his slaves. But not all people worship Allah. Right to
		

			bad for them. They're the ones who were missing out. Those who truly worship Allah, those who accept
Allah as their ILA, and who dedicated worship to Allah, such people such slaves are Allah's special
slaves. So Allah subhanaw taala mentions his prophets with curry bagdana mentioned our slaves, Allah
subhanaw taala honors them about new ideas sent out Allah subhanaw taala says in noble kana or the
den shockula in
		

			He was a very grateful slave, a very grateful worshiper about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam also, Allah subhanaw taala mentions that Subhana levy asabe yarrabah de lailah meenal
masjidul huldah mi Ll masjidul AXA, that Glory be to the one who took his worship or by night, right
from where from must either Haram in Makkah to most of the Aqsa in Jerusalem linaria human I atina.
So, we see that the prophets of Allah are described as the worshipers of Allah. So, Allah is Allah
hiddenness, the true the actual god of people who is the only one deserving of their worship, and he
is the only God that people need, because he is enough for them. So, we mentioned three Sleaford of
		

			Allah three attributes of Allah over here, the attribute of rubia the fact that he is Rob He alone
is Rob, the creator, the master, the owner, the nourish or the Sustainer, the protector, right. And
then the second cipher that we mentioned is of mulk the fact that he is many keenness right that he
is the real Sovereign of people, that we belong to him, that he has complete authority over us that
we cannot escape him. We cannot get away from him. And and then the third cipher that we mentioned
is off Lulu here. The fact that He alone is God He alone is ILA and by mentioning after mentioning,
three Slee fat, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us against one evil. And what is that evil?
		

			It is min Sherrill was worse in harness the evil of the retreating whisperer. And this shows us how
dangerous this evil is. That we call upon Allah by three of his unique powerful attributes. And we
ask Allah to protect us against one evil. This shows us how dangerous how serious this evil is the
evil of this retreating whisper who is straight on and what does this shaitan do? What is evil? is
evil is his shot is that a lady you were Swiss refused to do renounce, he puts worse wasa into the
chests of people. The question is what exactly is this West West? You see West wasa is described as
a photo huffy a very subtle hidden sound, meaning a sound that cannot be heard by the ear. But it is
		

			there. So sometimes the word waspa is actually applied to the sound of the rustling of leaves or the
sound of you know, moving jewelry, and things like that. But technically, what's wasa any is the
whisper of chez Pon, right? It is the talk that happens silently inside of the mind, you cannot hear
it with your ears, it is perceived by the mind it is happening inside of us. Right. So it is
described as Hadeeth enough's, it is the talk that's happening inside of the knifes because shaitan
has access over there. And so shaitan You know, he puts these subtle messages into the minds of
people, right? There's some interference that he causes, and, you know, between those brain
		

			connections, etc. And so, what happens is that sometimes a person is not even able to decipher that,
Is this me? Or is this shaytaan? That Am I the one who is, you know, who is thinking like this, who
has this bad idea? Or is it shaytaan? Who is telling me over here? So once wasa is very hidden,
right, it cannot be perceived by the IRS. It's it's happening inside of us. And you see, when these
thoughts overcome a person, then they turn into negative thinking patterns. Right? These were these
were, these were salvus. These evil whispers they turn into thinking patterns. And who is this was
worse, the whisperer it is the shank on and on every person, you know, there's a shaytaan that is
		

			appointed, right, who has access to that person who whispers evil into that person, but he is also
described as hon ness and Han ness is one who retreats again and again. Which means that she upon
when he comes to a person to cast an evil thought in his mind, right? What happens is that when a
person remembers Allah when a person says Bismillah, or rubella or any kind of victory
		

			La hawla wala quwata illa Billah, the tripod goes away. When the van is made shaitan goes away,
right? But then shikon doesn't stay away. You see, there's some people who when they're bothering
you, sometimes you give them a piece of your mind that they get afraid of you. Right? And they
actually leave you for good. Or at least this stop bothering you for some time. Right? But che pawn
does not quit. Shape Han does not give up. He is hon. NASS, he keeps coming again. And again. And
again. And this is why it is so important that we keep asking Allah subhanaw taala to protect us
against the evil of shape on. You see, sometimes what happens is that people think that if we take a
		

			certain vaccine, then you know, we're good, right? We're fine, then nothing, nothing can can harm
us, right? insha Allah, we hope that these vaccines turn out to be like that. But Allahu arlon any
long term effect is something that we don't know for sure, as of yet. But, you know, there's no
vaccine that you can take against the evil of shape Han. Right, there's, there's nothing that you
can use to permanently keep shaitan away from you. Because the nature of shaitan is that he will
keep coming back, he will not quit. So we have to constantly give ourselves in a loss protection
against the evil of shaitan. And the danger of shaitan is that he you were Swiss refused to do it in
		

			nerves, he directly tries to access the southern, right, meaning he he puts these thoughts were in
the chest fi so do the nurse, right, so these thoughts gather in the chest, and if they're strong
enough, then they enter the heart. But if they're not strong enough, if a person repels them, then
they will not enter the heart. So remember that Southern the chest is different from the heart, the
heart is inside of the Southern. Alright, the heart is inside of the chest. But it hasn't been said
over here, FICO, Lubin ness, it has been said feel so rude and nasty, and this is such a blessing,
because of shape Han had direct access to our hearts, then it would be very, very difficult.
		

			shaitaan only has access to the chest. So he puts the waswas into the chest. And when those thoughts
gather, and they strengthen, and they stay, then eventually they enter into the heart. But this
means that we have the ability to shield ourselves against the whispers of shaitan. And how do we do
that? We do that by immediately seeking refuge with ALLAH, the moment we realize this is a negative
thought this this it you know, it does not befit me that I should think like this, that I have a
negative assumption about a good friend, right about a fellow believer that I should think like this
about Allah subhanaw taala or that I should think so bad about myself, these are not appropriate
		

			befitting thoughts, and you say our other Billa you say a stuffy Roma, right, you do something to to
counter those thoughts than those was always they will not enter your heart. Right? But But when we
let those thoughts stay in the in the chest, and they keep gathering, and they keep you know, and
they make a home in the chest, then eventually they will enter the heart. And remember that when
something enters the heart, then what is it that leads the body it's the heart that leads the body
the heart is your boss, which is why the Prophet sallallahu earlier said and told us that if the
heart is good, then the entire body is good. But if that lump of flesh, right, if that is corrupt,
		

			then the entire body is corrupt. So shaitan wants to access the heart which is why he us we Sophia
salutin ness. So it is important that we repel these thoughts right away, and we don't let them
stay. We don't let them linger. We don't let them get stronger. Now one tripod whispers. Now these
whispers are of different kinds. Sometimes these whispers are such that they are meant to corrupt a
person's beliefs, right the beliefs regarding Allah regarding the messenger sallallahu earning
Salaam regarding the Quran. So you know shaitaan will put a was was like who knows if this Quran is
even true? A Stafford Allah any the woman a thought like this comes through the Billa right La hawla
		

			wala quwata illa Billah and then sometimes what happens is that shaytaan whispers, thoughts, to
incite us to commit sin to urge us to do something wrong.
		

			To encourage and motivate us to disobey Allah subhanaw taala. So, for example, we know that looking
at certain images is not appropriate images that contain, you know, nakedness of people, or images,
you know, you know of people from their, their private lives that we should not be looking at. We
have no business. But, you know, shaitan tempts a person. Okay, just tap. Just look, it's okay. Just
a second. Everybody looks at it. It's on social media after all, you know, they want everybody to
see it. No, forget about other people. What is appropriate for you? Are you supposed to see this?
No, you're not. So stop right there. And that temptation to look, this temptation is from who it is
		

			from shaitan that was wasa that thought that take a look. This is from shavon and then sometimes
these whispers make a person leave obedience that a person becomes lazy to pray. It is time to pray,
you know, you're supposed to pray. And this thought, you know, comes into your mind that Oh, I'm too
tired man. It's it's why do we have to pray? A stuffit Allah any bees are whispers of shaitan
sometimes what happens is the chairperson is not able to, you know, lead a person astray by
corrupting their beliefs by making them commit sin by making them leave obedience. So then what does
she do she makes a person show off right? The good that they're doing, because the moment the person
		

			shows off then what happens is that their deeds are wasted. Right? We are told in the Quran about
how we should not waste our deeds led to a new Southern catacomb right? Bill money while other color
the Yun fakuma who are a nurse, because the one who the one who shows off, right wastes his deeds.
And then what happens is that if a person is protected against showing off, then shaytaan whispers
in order to make that person be amazed with himself that Oh, look at you, you haven't mentioned your
deed to anyone, you've kept your Southern secret. And Wow, you've been doing so many good deeds
consistently through Ramadan, you haven't committed the sin for the longest time, you know, you're
		

			awesome, right? And this urge, right this era jab been knifes that a person is you know really happy
with himself This is also very dangerous, because what happens is that then a person begins to think
that I am I am a good person I am you know on the path to success, a person begins to see their good
deeds as good you know, greater than they truly are. And then a person becomes lazy, a person
becomes slow in obeying the law so panel throttle.
		

			Sometimes what happens is the chairperson whispers angry thoughts, right or thoughts related to
jealousy and you know, anger against people and grudges. And and this is also very dangerous,
because this pushes a person towards ill behavior. Sometimes a plan uses is whispers to invite
people to commit major sins sometimes minor sense, sometimes causing problems in doing good deeds.
Like for example, you get up to pray and you're making will do and then this shuck this doubt, did I
wash myself two times or three times? Right? Is, is this the third time that I'm washing my face?
Did I actually rinse my mouth or did I forget? Right? So constantly interfering in the process of
		

			making whoodles so that a person is in doubt. And then in Salah as well? There's distraction,
there's forgetfulness. So these are all ways of shaitan led us to feel so good and NASS to bother us
to disrupt our efforts and to take our peace and calm away. So how do we deal with that? We deal
with that by remembering Allah subhanaw taala. And first, we remember the fact that che Pons plot is
actually weak. All right, we learned in a hadith that once a man came to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and he complained he said Yasuda Allah, sometimes we have thoughts of such nature
that and that person you know, gestured that we would rather be, you know, burnt cold then even
		

			speak about those thoughts. Any those thoughts are horrible. They're unmentionable, and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Alhamdulillah he levy or
dedicada who Ll was wasa. Allah is the most great Allah is the most great Allah is the most great
Praise be to Allah who has reduced the plot of off shaitan to just a West wasa, meaning all the
child can can do is just give you a swiza just put that negative thought any shape on doesn't
matter.
		

			actually have power to to influence your behavior, he just puts the thought, and you actually have
the power to, to repel that thought, to reject that thought. So the sign of faith is that a person
recognizes the worst was sort of shaped on and that a person dislikes that, that thought and fights
against it, and repels it, just like a fighter, who, when he is fighting with an enemy, what does he
do recognize as the enemy, right? fights against the enemy, and eventually defeat the enemy. And
remember, the tre pawn generally puts such thoughts into the hearts of which people are into the
chests of which people, people who are actively worshiping Allah, people who are seeking sacred
		

			knowledge, who are doing good things. Why, because those who are not doing these good things try
upon is already pleased with them, they're, they're already following him. So the worst thoughts he
will bring to who he will bring to those who are worshipping Allah subhanaw taala, he will make them
doubt themselves, he will make them you know, condemned themselves on the inside, so that they are
always self loathing, and self hating, and being unkind to themselves. And then they have low self
esteem, and then they become discouraged from doing good deeds. So the so it is very important that
we reject these thoughts, the moment that they come in. And when a person accepts the wasp was out
		

			of shape on a person believes those lies of shaitan, then this is a sign of weakness of faith.
Right? Not the coming of the West Western. Remember that the coming of the West was in the fact that
champon you know, put a negative thought in your mind. That doesn't mean that you're a weak person
or that you're a bad person, because shaitan is able to do that right, unless the US was refused to
do it in NASS. The problem is the weakness of faith is when you, you when you believe the lie of
shaitan, when you accept the influence of shaitan, this is problematic, and the more we listened to
shippon, the stronger his influence is, so we have to fight against it from the very beginning. And
		

			then it is sad mean Elgin that one nurse who was from meaning this was was her nurse, this
retreating whisper is from among the jinn and mankind. Yes, there are shell cleanup ins well, Jean,
there are devils among human beings, and devils again and devils among the gin, the gin child clean,
may be locked up in Ramadan, right as we learn in Hades, that child teen are locked up. Now, people
who are shouting are not locked up. The West was out of gym is hidden, right? Because Jean is a
creation that is hidden from us. We don't see it, we don't hear it, etc. But people who are shell
clean, there was was their invitation to sin is public, it is open, and it is far more dangerous.
		

			Remember that Jen are a creation of Allah that are hidden from our senses. Right? And they have been
created to worship Allah as well. And they have been created with unique abilities and Gene are of
different kinds. And remember that every gene is not shaitan just like every human is not shaken. We
learn Sudoku gene one minute slowly home woman now Luna valic, that amongst us, Gene are those who
are righteous. And amongst us are those who are different meaning they're not so righteous, they're
evil, right? So jinn are a creation of Allah whom we should not reject. Because some people think
that you know, just because we cannot see them, we cannot hear them. They're not real. No, they are
		

			real because Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned them very clearly in the Quran. Right? And jinn are
even able to take different forms and there and they will be held accountable for their deeds as
well. But remember the jinn were they have certain strengths All right, where for example, they're
able to build different things we learn about house wood I man early his Salaam, you know, he made
them do a lot of work, they have certain amazing skills, they're able to go up into the skies and
they're able to dive into the waters, any they have amazing strengths, but they also have certain
weaknesses. First of all, remember that in the case of shaytani canonbury for the plot of shaitan is
		

			weak. All right, shaytaan does not have power over you shaitan does not have power over Allah's
righteous servants. When a when a person has strong faith, then shaitan is actually afraid of that
person like shaitan was afraid of aroma of the Allahu anhu Allah subhana wa tada subjected the jinn
to the service of Suleiman or the his Salah not other way around. All right, and and
		

			Also
		

			gene are not able to take the form of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam you know, in the dreams
of people, we also learn about how there is only a certain limit that they can reach into into the
skies. And when when a door is closed and you say Bismillah on it, which the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam told us to do shaitan is not able to open that door. All right. So it is important
to remember that Jean, yes, they may have certain strengths shape on may have certain powers, but at
the end of the day in the Qaeda, shaytani candleberry far, I do not need to be afraid. All right.
This is not an enemy whom we sit and we fear. No, this is an enemy that, yes, we get annoyed by Yes,
		

			we get harmed by you know, when he makes us when his whispers overcome us, and we end up disobeying
Allah subhanaw taala it's a nuisance, all right, not something that we should fear. All right, and
especially when we have the help of Allah, and when Allah subhanaw taala has promised us that in
their body, lay silica lay him so plan, then indeed, my slaves, my worshippers, you will shape and
have no power over them. And we learn in the Hadees that shaitan gets tired, all right. Why? Because
of the strong believer, any what when a believer, for example, keeps remembering a lunch upon us to
keep going away, and then he has to come back again. And then again. And then again, the believer
		

			remembers Allah insha Allah is constantly going, coming back constantly going coming up in it, this
is something that exhausts shaitan All right, it weakens shaitan. And this is why we have to keep
seeking refuge with Allah azza wa jal. And remember that those who listen to shaitan shaitan
actually has power over them, right? Because they become weaker, and they become easily affected by
the West, we're sort of shaitan but one thing is for sure, which is that shavonne is our enemy, as
Allah subhanaw taala says in the shale plan and Akuma I do one. So what should we do? We should take
him as our enemy, but does he do who or do what? So take him as an enemy. Remember, the che plan is
		

			your enemy. Don't forget that and never have a soft spot for shaitan This is so you know sad that
sometimes Muslims will have a will have a soft spot for shape one any that enemy is out to mislead
you. And you are here thinking you know having particular shape on and and thinking that No, no, we
should not blame shape on we should blame ourselves. Yes, we are responsible, alright for listening
to shaitan. But realize the trade plan is your enemy. Don't ever forget that. Don't ever be, you
know, fooled into thinking the trade plan is not your enemy or the trade plan is not after you. He's
after every single one of us. And remember that Adam and his son and our father shaitan did not
		

			spare him. Right. He swore oaths and he kept urging us to murder his Salaam right and however both
of them to disobey Allah subhanaw taala and he used so many tactics so many ways, you know
repeatedly to make them disobey Allah. And just like that shaitan is after all of us, he does not
quit easily. He does not quit easily. So remember his enmity your husband Morales said all son of
Adam, save yourself from shaitan actively guard yourself against your enemy, because your enemy
shaitan has been here a long time. And you're new. Okay, you're new over here. You just came here.
And shaitan has been here for a very long time from the beginning of humanity Shay plan has been
		

			trying to lead people astray. Right? And you're you're fresh here. You've just come here like what
30 years ago 40 years ago, maybe 20 years ago. You're new here shaitan your enemy is free. And you
are busy. Meaning you have so many things to do in life and tripod has one thing to do in life which
is to mislead you shaitan has one goal which is to destroy you and you have many any every single
day when you wake up. You have a list of things in your head right I have to do this I have to do
this I have to do this. You have different obligations when shikon enters the morning shikon has one
goal to mislead you shaitan sees you and you do not see him. You forget shape one and shape one does
		

			not forget you right. How often do we actually say Aruba Billahi min ash shaytani r Rajim
consciously that you know shaitan is after me This is from shaitan so often we forget even when
someone reminds us say are with Ebola This is from Chopin you know we we like to think that no,
right? So we forget che plan shaitan does not forget us and our knifes is an aide to show plan and
he because we also have
		

			In her weaknesses shaitan uses them against us, he knows which buttons to press. So be on guard. And
remember this enemy, don't forget this enemy. And shaitan is such that, you know, he uses different
ways to lead us astray. to misguide us. We learned that, you know, he uses this he'll right that
gradually, slowly, he makes sin easy for us. Right? And he uses different ways. So sometimes he
makes us think bad about Allah subhanaw taala. Right. Or he makes us have doubt in Allah subhanaw
taala or he makes us have doubt about the deen of Allah about the truth about the Quran about the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam. So any such thought we have to seek refuge with ALLAH, then
		

			shaitan doesn't just stop there. He also tries to interfere when we are when we have to worship
Allah subhanaw taala that, first of all, he makes us occupied with low and Larry, right with play
and amusement and randomness, so that we forget about our obligations or that we delay our
obligations. Right. And then when we do get up to pray, or when we do get up to worship Allah
subhanaw taala shikon tries to, you know, reduce the quality that he tries to negatively impact the
quality of that act of worship. So for example, we're praying, but then what happens constantly
remember this, remember that? Oh, my God, what happened over there? And, you know, all of a sudden
		

			insula, we're thinking about solutions to the biggest problems, we're writing emails, we're writing
the best comebacks, you know, we're thinking about we're planning our day we're planning next month,
we're planning our our entire life. So this is this is from who these thoughts to distract us from
Salah or from shaitan. Sometimes what happens is that when we are reciting, then shaitan interferes
in our recitation, we know a surah so well, but then when we reciting and Salah all of a sudden mind
is blank, we start making mistakes in the recitation of Surah Fatiha, we start making mistakes in
the recitation of sudo. to nurse then, when we're praying, again tre upon makes us doubt about the
		

			number of Salah the number of Raka art, right? That how many, is this the first or second such
though? Right first struck our second record. And then, you know, it's amazing, we're supposed to be
focusing in Salah, but our entire focus is on who it is on other people, right? What is my daughter
doing? What is she eating? What is she saying? And you know, bring yourself back to Salah, this
distraction is from who it is from shape on. And then this is so sad that sometimes we are praying
and we pray leisurely, right that we are not interested, you know, in praying Salah that is also
from shaitan right? And sometimes what happens is that, you know, shaitan makes us forget the vicar
		

			of Allah, He makes us forget to remember Allah. So for example, we we sneeze and we forget to say
Alhamdulillah right? And what happens is that the you know, when che Pon whispers again and again,
all right, he like I mentioned earlier, the whispers of shape and then form into certain negative
patterns. All right, certain negative patterns. So, you know, when we say things like this is this
is my own self. Alright, this is my own self, this is not shaitan? Well, think about it, Allah
subhanaw taala did not create you as an evil person. No, he put in you the potential to do good as
well. So why is it that that evil aspect of you is more active, it is stronger, because of whose
		

			influence because of the influence of shape and shape Han has trained that well, which is why in the
month of Ramadan, also when sharpener locked up, we are still, you know, on those bad patterns,
because shaitan has trained that that aspect, right? So recognize that the source is that of that
evil is shaitan. And this is something we need to acknowledge shippon wants us to not even think of
him as an enemy. All right, and this is what real enemies do. They want you to think that they're
not your enemy, they're your friends, and this is how they put us in greater danger. So shaitan
sometimes makes us forget the remembrance of Allah. Right. And sometimes we are remembering Allah
		

			with our tongues but our heart is completely distracted or when we have to make Vicar we fall
asleep. Right or we we get the we
		

			You know, begin to yawn, or all of a sudden, you know, he will make us remember different things so
that we leave the vicar of Allah. And we get distracted by worldly things, how often it happens that
after Salah it doesn't take long to say Subhana Allah, Al hamdu Lillah Allahu Akbar, you know, 10
times or 33 times, but shaitan creates such urgency pick up your phone, check the recent messages,
right? Get up and go see what's happening outside. Right? Go check this any create such urgency,
that we do not have those few moments to make the vicar of Allah. And when we don't make the vicar
of Allah, then what happens? Chopin gets to spend more time with us. And the more time he spends
		

			with us, the more he you know, he casts evil whispers, right in order to influence us, then
sometimes what happens is that a plan actively prevents us from doing good things when we intend to
do something good. He interferes, don't give Sadako you'll have less money. Don't give that
donation. $50 on a week at 40 100 Oh, that's huge. Make it 50. All right. And then you know, when
we're when we are intending to do something good. Like for example, we intend to recite Quran says
no, you're tired, you need a break, right? reduce the recitation recite later you have the wall day,
right? It's okay, take take the day off, right, you're fasting maybe in the night. So this is also
		

			from Shay plan that, you know, shaitan tries to hinder us from doing good deeds. And another thing
is that shaitan makes us busy in doing useless things. Things that are of no benefit whatsoever. In
an Irish and Muslim Dharma we learned that once the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam saw a man
chasing a pigeon.
		

			Alright, chasing a pigeon. So he said shaitan on yet baru shaitana shaitan chasing a shaitan any
this is this is the action of Chopin, something completely, completely useless. And he What are you
going to get by chasing the chicken? By chasing a bird? What are you going to get? So nothing, this
is just a waste of time. So when we are surfing the web, alright, that is something old, actually,
when we are spending so much time on social media. All right, just scrolling, just scrolling,
looking at random things. What are we doing? This is you know, every moment is precious, every
second is precious. If we don't have the energy to read something beneficial, we can listen to
		

			something beneficial. Right? We can just quietly make the could. But shaitan distracts us from doing
good things by keeping us occupied with random useless things, and sometimes stray plan. Another
thing he does is that he makes evil, the disobedience to Allah attractive. Allahu Akbar, Allah
subhanaw taala says, Well, at the W Hotel attache plan, do not follow the footsteps of shaitan
right, because shaitan he makes one evil attractive, and then the next one, and then the next one.
And then the next one. And shaitan also makes us you know, behave in an immodest way, or dress in an
immodest way. And post such photos and things like that, in modesty is, is also from Shay plan,
		

			right? And then
		

			sometimes shaitan, you know, makes us fall before our desires, you know, certain desires are
natural, certain temptations are there, you know that that is how we were created, but shaitaan
makes us pursue them. So, for example, in a Hadees, we learned that sometimes chant plan uses, you
know, a woman to tempt a man. Now, women are everywhere they exist. And yes, men have, you know, a
certain weakness when it comes to women. But how shaitan overpowers even the most intelligent of
men, and what happens to these men, all of their sanity goes away and all of their decency goes
away. Right, they stop thinking logically, they become impulsive in the way that they talk in the
		

			way that they comment in the way that they stare in the way that they, you know, speak about another
woman, a stuffit Ulla, you need this is from shaitan realize that you are under the influence of
shaitan. So say rubella, lower your gaze, control yourself. And you know, super You know, sometimes
people will just put the blame on women. You know, take responsibility, take responsibility, and
realize that you are listening to shape on so say are rubella and be careful. Another another thing
that shape Han does is that he causes problems between
		

			You know, family members, you know, basically in our relationships, that he keeps us busy in
fighting and arguing. Right? In, you know, between coworkers, friends, sometimes making the wife
angry with the husband, sometimes making the husband angry with the wife, any when people are
constantly angry and bickering, and you know, children are, for example, jealous of one another
siblings become jealous of one another, like the brothers of use of an A son. And then then what
happens? Anyone we're bickering when we're angry, when we're bitter, we're not able to focus on
worship, we're not able to come together and do good things. So this is all from shaitan. And it's
		

			very important that we remember these tricks of shaitaan. And we actively resist the the Westwater
of shaitan How do we do that? by a keeping our tongue busy with the vicar of Allah, but actively
opposing? shaitan? How do we actively oppose children, for example, eat and drink with the right
hand, not with the left hand. When you give and take something, use the right hand, not the left
hand, when you're yawning, try to control that yawn, because that is also from shaitan. Right che
con laughs at us when it comes to spending money, spend responsibly, because shaitan wants us to be
wasteful, right places where Allah subhanaw taala is being disobeyed. Avoid those places. And
		

			another thing is another way that we protect ourselves from the attack of shikon is that we
strengthen our faith in Allah subhanaw taala because Allah says in the Quran, in the who lay Salah,
who sold on on Allah levena ermanno what a lot of Bohemia our cologne shaytaan has no power over
those people who believe and who put their trust in their Lord. So put your trust in Allah,
strengthen your faith in Allah beautify yourself, equip yourself with the kua with the consciousness
of Allah, because we learn in the levina taco indeed those people who have the core when when a
visitation from shaitan, comes meaning something from shaitan comes to them. Does a Kuru Kuru they
		

			instantly remember for either who moves it on and then they're able to see they're able to see very
clearly in that situation that this is from shaitan This is not correct. I should not do it. And
keep your tongue busy with the vicar of Allah in every situation whenever they could that we are
supposed to do like for example when entering the house Bismillah when eating and drinking Bismillah
right when entering the washroom you know making the right door are what uh you know, after eating,
you know, sitting in the car driving leaving the house, you know, there are appropriate of car
certain car that we have been taught for different things, you know, throughout the day, and also
		

			when going to sleep when waking up in the morning. Your remembrance of Allah is your shield your
fortress against the shape Han right in Hades, we learned that he a hairless Anam. He told his
people that I command you to remember Allah a lot. Because the person who remembers Allah, Allah is
like a person who is being pursued by an enemy. And what does he do? He finds a fortress, and he
secures himself inside of that fortress. So the vicar of Allah is your fortress against the shavon.
Also, another important thing is that maintain cleanliness of the body. All right, when you wake up
in the morning, you know from the sooner we learn about how we should rub the nose and blow. And
		

			then also we should of course, remember Allah and then make will do and pray Salah these actions,
they they remove the effect of shaitan All right, observe cleanliness, stay away from dirty things,
stay away from dirty places. All right, stay away from the gesa keep your body clean to the best of
your ability keep your house clean. And also another thing is that strengthen your connection with
the Quran. Because we learn in hethersett, all themost akima for tiberiu that indeed this is my path
which is straight therefore follow it. And what is the straight path? Where do we learn about it's
the Quran, so follow it, right, stick to it, the Quran, strengthen your connection with it, listen
		

			to it, learn it, increase in your knowledge, because that is how you fortify yourself against
shaitan. And it is so important that you know in the month of Ramadan, all of us try to you know,
listen to some lecture on a regular basis, you know, some series and Alhamdulillah that's excellent
because it strengthens us. It gives us that spiritual boost that encouragement to you know, worship
Allah subhanaw taala and then hamdulillah today's session is last session of
		

			You know the series of Quranic pearls, and Alhamdulillah you have, you know, constantly stayed, you
know, in touch with the Quran through this after Ramadan, make a point that you sign up for some
class, you enroll in some program, whether it is weekly, you know, or every day or twice a week or
three times a week, but continue to learn, continue to stay aware increase in your knowledge. Why?
Because awareness is the first step towards safety if you don't even know what dangers there are,
how on earth are you meant to protect yourself? Right knowledge is power, awareness is essential.
And it's not enough that we have learned something once we need to keep learning, we need to keep
		

			reminding ourselves we need to keep growing in our knowledge, right? Why because this is how we
protect ourselves against the shaytaan any think about it you knew of suited to NASA before as well,
but I hope inshallah, through today's session, you were, you know, you have gained a new
appreciation, a new understanding, you know, stronger faith in the recitation of the surah in you
know, the importance of reading the surah in the morning in the evening, after Salah. So, when you
connect yourself with sacred knowledge, you are investing in yourself, you are protecting yourself,
right, you are helping yourself. So make a point that after Ramadan, you know, sign up right now,
		

			don't don't even wait until after Ramadan. Sign up right now. Strengthen your connection with the
book of Allah, strengthen your connection with sacred knowledge because this is your defense, this
is your safety. This is how you build that immunity. And all of us need that. Of course, another
important thing is that we beg Allah subhanaw taala for protection against radon. We seek refuge
with him. And sudo to ness is one of those suitors that we recite. Like I said morning evening after
Salah for our protection. May Allah subhanaw taala protect us against the attacks of shaitan May
Allah subhanaw taala give us the ability to recognize the West wasa of shaitan and to resist it may
		

			Allah subhanaw taala not give power to show upon over us May Allah subhanaw taala strengthen us in
our faith in our connection with his book May Allah subhanaw taala make us of those who remember
Allah a lot anmeldelser panel thought to make us of those who are sincere to him. Robbie Ruby come

with You let's check on ever be near me even less tripod ever have a power over me or access to me?
Yeah Allah you protect us against the evil of shaytaan in sha Allah we will conclude over here so
