			Allah soprano panel data tells us in the Quran what in the hood, Latin z Lula bill al Amin. nessa
behave ruhul amin, Allah Allah Vika Lita akuna Minal moon zerene. And indeed, the Quran is the
revelation of the Lord of the worlds, the trustworthy spirit, meaning gibreel has brought it down
upon your heart, all Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that you may be of the Warners, we see in
this in these verses, we see in these verses, that the Quran is the speech of love Buddha or the
mean of the Creator of the Universe, and it was sent down to the world from above. The thing is that
everything we see around us is actually a creation. It is Maha Luke, but the Quran, the Book of
		
00:01:35 --> 00:02:27
			Allah, that is before us, this is cunnamulla it is the speech of Allah. So it is literally from out
of this world. And this is the reason why the words of the Quran are not like any other words, their
mere recitation is a blessing, and they don't just bring information to the reader, but they bring
much more than that. What is it that they bring to a person? Allah tells us in the Quran? Yeah, a
yohannes or the jar at como ella to Mira become where she fell on Lima fifth sudo. Well, who don't
want to limit meaning will be fugly. Later he will be rometty he Furby Delica folia For who? Who
will hire me, Maya, Jim, our own, that all mankind, there has come to you instruction from your Lord
		
00:02:27 --> 00:03:22
			and healing for what is in the chests and guidance and mercy for the believers. Say in the bounty of
Allah and in His mercy in that let them rejoice, it is better than what they accumulate. The Quran
brings instruction and healing, guidance and mercy. It is the follow of Allah, the huge favor of
Allah and His mercy, something for which we should rejoice because it is better than everything that
people accumulate. Imagine this, all of the things of this world, its money, its gold, and whatever
else that people like to collect. All of that is less compared to the Quran. The Quran is better.
And this is why we should rejoice, we should feel happy, we should feel delighted that we're able to
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:54
			spend time with the Quran Alhamdulillah we have now completed three Jews. What a blessing. May Allah
subhanaw taala allow us to complete all of the Quran and to read it again and again. Because Samuel
calamy cunnamulla the best speech is in fact the speech of Allah and because it is directly from
him. This is why it is one of the strongest and most effective ways of drawing close to Allah
subhanaw taala
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:48
			larger Rahim Allah said that of all the voluntary deeds, by which a slave can attain nearness to
Allah is the frequent recitation of the Quran and listening to it with reflection, attentiveness and
comprehension. The thing is that we do different voluntary deeds in order to draw close to Allah
subhanaw taala. We perform nephele prayers, we say as God does B hat, etc. But the voluntary deed
that will instantly help us connect with a lesser penalty to feel closer to him as diligent is
spending time with the book of Allah. Why? Because, as hubub said, that draw near Allah as much as
you are able and know that you can never draw near him with anything more beloved to him than his
		
00:04:48 --> 00:05:00
			speech. His speech is from him. So if you want Allah then grab on to what has come from him, which
is also his rope the Quran so we should
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:09
			happily spend time with the book of Allah and eagerly listened to it. May Allah subhanaw taala fill
our hearts with the love of the Quran.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			So let's begin just number four
		
00:05:14 --> 00:06:10

tone filco mimma to hit Boone warmer tone Phil Coleman Shea in for in the lobby here Eileen, never
will you attain the good reward, you will never attain piety until you spend from those things which
you love. And whatever you spend, Indeed Allah is Knowing of it. Many people believe themselves to
be good people. And the thing is that when we do something good, then very quickly, we begin to feel
satisfied with it. But real piety, real goodness is of the person who spends what they love for the
sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. And here bill has been mentioned Lenten, Allah will bill you can
		
00:06:10 --> 00:07:08
			never attain bid, and bed signifies ample, extensive goodness, meaning you cannot attain extensive
goodness, meaning you have not done much good until you spend of what you love. You cannot reach a
higher level of piety, you cannot reach the next level until you give of what you love. Or you
cannot attain the fuddle the extensive favor of your Lord, which is Jenna, and good reward until you
gave up what you love. What are the things that we love? Yes, it is wealth. Because as a law says
what in the Holy * behind Elijah deed. And indeed, the human being is in love of money, in love
of wealth, very intense. So when a person spends their money which they love, why this spending out
		
00:07:08 --> 00:08:00
			of love for Allah subhanaw taala, because when you love someone you spend on them, you give them the
best that you have, then such a person receives a lot of love in return. And Allah subhanaw taala
grants them higher levels of piety of his favours of paradise. But if we think about it, money is
not everything that we love, it is not all that we love. Sometimes, our love for sleep can in fact
be greater than our love for money. Sleeping in can be so enjoyable, but to get what a person does
not have, they have to cut down on some of that enjoyment. And some of you are having to give up
your rest, your sleep, perhaps your own personal time, your downtime, or your hobbies or perhaps a
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:55
			favorite TV show, in order to spend time with the Quran. May Allah subhanaw taala grant you bid for
what you are giving up in his way. Remember, to get somewhere, you have to give up certain things.
And sometimes giving up the those things can be incredibly hard on the nups. Giving up those things
can be incredibly hard on the nuts. But we make such sacrifices for our worldly goals, right? We
spend 1000s of dollars and 1000s of hours in order to make our resumes impressive. The same way. If
we want to increase in piety, if we want the high levels of Paradise, the generous, ample reward of
our Lord, extensive reward of our Lord, then we have to spend of what we love. We have to make some
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:46
			sacrifices. Let's look at the companions. What did they do? And as Malik reported that when this
ayah was revealed about Alhamdulillah Horan, who got up and he said O Allah's Messenger, Allah says
Lenten, Allah will build a habitat and fecal matter a boon and the most beloved of my property to me
is the bale house garden. So I give it in allows cars to bid raha when the HA HA in the law, I hope
to receive good out of it, I hope to receive its bid and to have it stored for me with Allah and the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Buffy and Buffy in the valley commando Robbie Hoon, Valley
commando and Robbie Hoon Excellent, excellent. This is a property that is profitable, meaning this
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:59
			is an investment that you have made from which you will be you will get profit. Remember that this
garden of of Appleton hodel de la Mourinho, was located across from the masjid and even the prophets
of Allah
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:55
			He was sent him used to go there and drink its water and rest there. Today, this garden is no more,
the place where the palm tree stood, is covered in stone. And it's the end all of it is basically
covered by stone and it's all part of the mustard. The garden is gone from the world, but it is
forever preserved with Allah. So preserve what you love, by giving it to Allah subhanaw taala hoping
for a bit and a half with the haha in the law. Even taymiyah said that when a person seeks nearness
to Allah, by spending what they love, then it becomes more superior to other things which are of
equal value to it, meaning your love for something increases its value. And therefore, when you
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:45
			spend that in the way of Allah, the reward will also be more it will be greater. So the sentimental
value of things is known to Allah subhanaw taala and He rewards accordingly for in Allah hubby here
Eileen. Indeed Allah is Knowing of it. You see, typically, we love things that are valuable. So our
Deen teaches us the best of manners. It gives us the highest moral standards that before you give
anything, check, is it something that I would like for myself? Is this something that I love to use?
liking for others? What one likes for oneself is a requirement of a man, the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, law you mean are you doing Hector you hit Billy, he may you have good enough
		
00:11:45 --> 00:12:31
			see him in and hide that a slave cannot truly believe until he loves for his brother what he loves
for himself of good things. And yes, when a person gives what they love, it is painful for sure. But
that momentary pain is later replaced with bid and its reward. We learned that remodeled the
Longhorn who, when he got a piece of land in haber, he came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam and he said I have a piece of land which is better than any property that I have ever
received. So what do you advise me regarding it, yellow suit Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam What
should I do? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, If you wish, you can keep it as an
		
00:12:31 --> 00:13:18
			endowment meeting as a weapon to be used for charitable purposes. And that is what are modo de la
Horne who did, he gave that land as charity, on the condition that the land would neither be sold
nor given as a gift, nor as inheritance and it would constantly be dedicated for good causes. So its
yield the profit that would come from it, it would be used for the poor and the emancipation of
slaves and for travelers and other charitable causes. So are metal dilla Horan, who also gave what
he loved and look at what he reaped. And sometimes it is necessary to give up what we like what we
love, why in order to discipline the soul, because if you keep feeding the soul, everything that it
		
00:13:18 --> 00:14:06
			wishes for, then you will become a slave to it. When we give, we typically give what is extra, and
that is good. But a higher level of giving is that you give what you love most. But look at Allah
subhanaw taala has mercy over here. It hasn't been said that you have to give all of what you love,
but minmatar hipbone some of what you love, and the reward that Allah gives for what you give him
for what you give for his pleasure. No one else can give that one Matt and Phil Coleman Shay in for
in the lobby here. I mean, he knows what you're giving. He knows how much you love it. He knows how
much pain you're feeling. But your love for Allah is greater than your love for these things. So
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:53
			give it for his sake and attain the bit that Allah has promised. Then it is said, all food, meaning
that is lawful, was also lawful to the children of Israel, except what Israel had made unlawful to
himself before the Torah was revealed, say or Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So bring the
Torah and recite it. If you should be truthful. Here, a response to some of the criticism of the
Jews is being given. They said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that if you claim to be a
follower of Ibrahim, then how come your dietary law is different from ours. So it is clarified over
here that originally, all the things that are permissible now were permissible before and then
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			iacobelli salaam had made certain things unlawful on himself due to his health and also
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:48
			Remember that certain things were forbidden on the bunny is slightly ill as a result of their
wrongdoing. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was only reviving the original law. And
whoever invents about Allah untruth after that, then those are truly the wrongdoers. And this shows
us that when there is something clearly mentioned in the Scripture, and when a person rejects it,
then this is wronging oneself, both sides, Allah say, Allah has told the truth. The fact is, that we
will find many conflicting statements out there. So what is true, what is not true? We look at what
Allah tells us, we look at the portal on portals Allah, so follow the religion of Ibrahim inclining
		
00:15:48 --> 00:16:37
			toward truth, and he was not of the polytheists. Indeed, the first house meaning for worship that
was established for mankind was the one at Makkah, bless it and the guidance for the worlds another
objection they raised was regarding the Qibla and the first Qibla is based on mock this, then why
not face it? So it is clarified here that the first Kibler the first house of worship was always the
one which is in Baka. Baka is another name of Makkah. And it was the first place of worship the
Carbo, and it was for limnanthes for all people. And this house, this bait, it is mobilock it is a
blessing. Even in the Bible. It says Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:55
			set on pilgrimage as they pass through the valley of bucha. They make it a place of springs, the
autumn rains also covered with pools. They go from strength to strength to each appears before God
in Zion, Hear my prayer. Lord God Almighty, listen to me God of Jacob lebay kolomela bake.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:51
			So mobarak is the carrabba. Now remember that Mubarak is a thing that is abounding in benefits.
Mubarak is something that has bokeh in it, meaning that you get a lot out of it. And bonica is when
what appears to be limited becomes more it increases. So the karma is mobarak. Why? Because there
are so many religious and worldly benefits one can get by simply visiting it. We see that for
example, if a person prays in a mustard, how long and the reward for sada is so much the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, one prayer in the sacred mosque is better than 100,000 prayers
anywhere else. hygiene aroma can only be performed at the Kaaba. And we see that when a person
		
00:17:51 --> 00:18:35
			performs hygiene aroma, then they get forgiven. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said what a
man had? Yeah, the mechanic Abdullah who that Hajj destroys meaning it sends it erases, it
completely destroys the sins that were committed before it. And a person returns from hedge free of
sin. Like he wasn't the day that he was born. There is so much reward for the love for sorry for the
recitation of the Quran for the telopea for the vicar and the doors that you make at the Kaaba. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the pilgrims meaning those who go for Hajj and arona
they're the guests of Allah. So if they call upon him, he answers them. And if they seek forgiveness
		
00:18:35 --> 00:19:19
			from him, he forgives them. And remember that when a person visits the Kaaba regularly, meaning for
Hajj and for Umbra, they go constantly, then this is something that removes poverty and sin. There
is abundance of risk. There's that feeling of community, that ability to worship together,
collectively, indeed, has a completely different impact on the heart, the love that you develop for
Allah over there, the eagerness that you develop over there to repent to Allah. So yes, going for
Umrah going for Hajj, yes, it can be difficult at many different levels. The journey can be long, it
can be very expensive, or there's the discomfort of travel, you know, using the washrooms over
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:59
			there, etc. But the worship that is performed at the Kaaba is worth it. So a person should always
have that intention and that desire to go there and worship Allah over there. It is said in it are
in it are clear signs such as Malcolm Ibrahim, the standing place of Ibrahim and whoever enters it
shall be safe. And this is one of the first things that a person experiences when they visit the
house of Allah, the peace of heart, just looking at the garba brings that feeling. And as you make
the laugh, you feel closer to Allah subhanaw taala and the person who goes to it meaning
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:45
			Who goes to the curb for Hajj than they are in Allah, soprano, terrorists protection. Even we
learned that towards the end of time when the jail will appear, then those in Mecca will be safe.
And due to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the house for whoever is able to find their two
away. But whoever disbelieves then Indeed Allah is free from need of the worlds. We see over here
that Hajj is an obligation on who on those who are able, and an obligation should not be delayed.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, hasten in fulfilling the obligation of Hajj for none
of you knows what may come before him as an obstacle. supanova We also learn in a Hadees that Allah
		
00:20:45 --> 00:21:30
			subhanaw taala says, when I have given health to a servant in his body, and given him ample
provision, and yet five years go by, and he does not come to visit me meaning my house, then such a
person is my home. They're truly deprived. The Prophet sallallahu already said I'm also warned us
take benefit from this house, for indeed, it will be raised two times, and the third time it will be
lifted up. And this is something that we can really feel these days when we see the pictures of the
Kaaba, around the Kaaba, how it's empty. May Allah subhanaw taala give us a trophy to go there have
the intention that you are Allah, I am going to go visit your house, I am going to go for Ramadan, I
		
00:21:30 --> 00:22:15
			am going to go for Hajj. Say all people have the Scripture. Why do you disbelieve in the verses of
Allah while Allah is witness over what you do? Meaning allies watching your actions your behavior?
So do not deny the verses of Allah say all people have the scripture? Why do you avert from the way
of Allah, those who believe seeking to make it seem deviant while you are witnesses, and Allah is
not unaware of what you do. So these objections that they were raising all the time, they were not
for the sake of the truth. They were just to make Islam seem deviant. All you have believed, if you
obey a party of those who are group who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back after
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:20
			your belief to being unbelievers, the Muslims are being warned over here.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:23:06
			And how could you disbelieve? While two you are being recited the verses of Allah and among you is
His Messenger, wor k fetac furuno or untinted la la come to LA Wolfie camera sudo and whoever holds
firmly to Allah has indeed been guided to a straight path. You see, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was in Medina, when these verses were revealed. And the Muslims at the time were surrounded
by many enemies. There were the hypocrites, they were the people of the book, and there was a
constant pressure from them. And they use different tactics to convince Muslims to leave Islam. And
some of those are actually mentioned earlier and sort of earlier in life. So how is it that the
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:52
			Muslims were to remain steadfast in such a toxic environment? Meaning when there were so many
external pressures, constant, you know, criticism on their religion, and the use of trickery and
deceit to turn the people away from Islam? How are they supposed to survive? We see in this ayah
Allah says, How could you disbelieve? Meaning you cannot, you have no reason. When there's two
things, the first thing what untinted la Alaykum Ayatollah that when the verses of Allah are recited
to you, so we see that listening to the verses of Allah, listening to the Quran, is a means of
becoming steadfast on Islam. A person can recite the Quran themselves also, they can read the book
		
00:23:52 --> 00:24:35
			of the seed on their own, but listening to the verses has a completely different impact. And
secondly, what FICO rasuluh among you is His Messenger, being in the company of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam having his guidance, having his example. This is also a source of
sabbats of stability and steadfastness on Islam. The presence of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam itself was a source of firmness for the companions. So if we want to be firm on Islam, what
do we need? We also need the company of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and how is that
going to be? That is going to be when we learn the Sierra, when we study the Hadees, and we don't
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:59
			just study it once and then put it away, but we stay connected with it. Just as we stay connected
with the Quran. We don't just read it once. But we read it again and again. We listen to it again
and again. We stay connected on a regular basis with the Quran and with the words of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. This is something that is essential for us and for our families for our
community.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:54
			Allah subhanaw taala says, yeah you Halina amanu Oh you have believed it the hola fear Allah how how
a Ducati he, as he should be feared when attr Mouton, Illa unto Muslim moon, and do not die, except
as Muslims, meaning leave this world in the state of Islam. And this is something that we should ask
Allah subhanaw taala for that he or Allah keep us firm on Islam. And it should be our wish that the
last words we say before we die, our last Illa had ilaha illa Allah. So in this ayah we are told it
duckula have puttaparthi fear Allah as he should be feared. This does not mean that you become
terrified and you leave everything and you never get up from the prayer rug. This doesn't mean that
		
00:25:54 --> 00:26:41
			a person do that a person does not do anything in their lives, that they just become sad all the
time that they don't socialize, they don't get married or they don't take care of their family or
they leave their job, etc. No dunkwa dunia is not a taqwa the glove is not about quitting the car
doesn't mean the fear of God doesn't mean that you don't do anything. One of the companions
explained duckula as gathering your your clothes together when walking through a path that is
surrounded with thorny bushes. So Dakota is not that you sit and you don't go anywhere. No, you have
to go through life. You have to go through those paths that are surrounded by thorny bushes, but you
		
00:26:41 --> 00:27:07
			have to learn to protect yourself. And that is only possible when a person remembers Allah. So what
is the core, the core is that a person lives in this world. They engage with people, they do the
things that they're supposed to. However, daca is a new era for now your saw that a person fears
Allah, that that a person obeys Allah, and they don't disobey Him.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:55
			And utara follow your saw that Allah should be obeyed and not disobeyed. What I use quite often I
look for that Allah should be shown gratitude to not in gratitude, what I use for now Yun, sir, and
that Allah should be remembered and not forgotten. This is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said it took ilaha hazlemere konta fear Allah wherever you are, meaning whatever situation
you were in, whoever it is that you're dealing with whatever work that you were doing, Fear Allah at
that time in that moment in that place in that work. The cavalla doesn't mean that you don't do
anything worth hustling will be heavily laggy Jimmy on one at the federal coup and hold firmly to
		
00:27:55 --> 00:28:43
			the rope of Allah, how Jimmy are all together? What is the rope of Allah, it is the book of Allah.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that he said, Kitab Allah, who have little, the Book
of Allah is the rope of Allah, which is among dude Minister Mr. Elwell of which has been led down
from the sky to the earth, meaning that has been sent down from above to you, to connect you with
Allah subhanaw taala. So hold on to it firmly. Hold on to it firmly spend your life with the Quran.
If you hold on to it, then your connection with Allah will remain strong. And if that is the case,
then you will remain on the right path and hold on to the rope of Allah Jamil together, meaning that
		
00:28:43 --> 00:29:28
			together it's not just important for one person to hold on to the Quran, but for all of us. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Allah likes for you three things, that you worship
Allah, and do not associate anything with him. That all of you hold on to the rope of Allah firmly
and that you are sincere to your leaders. So this is something that Allah likes for us, that all of
us together hold on to the Quran, why together so that your source of strength for each other. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained their relationship between the believers. He said the
believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts strengthen one another. And
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:59
			when he said that, he clasped his fingers together, the thing is that we need one another. We need
each other, we cannot survive on our own. And one of the best ways of staying connected is through
the Quran. And then it is said while at the for Roku, and do not become divided. Meaning instead of
bringing one another down, we need to lift one another up. And the person who reads the put on the
Quran truly enters their heart then
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:49
			Such a heart expands a great deal. There is compassion in there in that heart, there's empathy.
There's concern for others, that a person has the ability to forgive, to pardon to overlook, to be
generous, when not to fund Roku do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you when
you were enemies, and he brought your hearts together. And you came by and you became by his favor
brothers. So Pamela, considered the state of the Muslims before Islam, the Arabs were constantly
fighting one another. And because of Islam, what happened? They became united like brothers, and
this bond of brotherhood, through Islam, this bond of sisterhood through Islam, this bond at times
		
00:30:49 --> 00:31:37
			is stronger than even blood relationships. When you come together because of the Quran, you learn to
love one another for the sake of Allah. And this kind of love is actually everlasting. And this can
only be with us favor, remember the favor of Allah upon you. Previously, you were enemies, and Allah
by his favor, joined your hearts together. So this shows us that when the hearts of people are
united, they're together. This is a sign of Allah's favor upon them, it shows that they're doing
something right, that Allah has blessed them with Unity. But if the hearts are divided, there's
jealousy. There's disrespect, lack of trust, fighting argumentation, then such people are deprived
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			of Allah's blessing
		
00:31:40 --> 00:32:29
			than it is said, and you're on the end you were on the edge of a pit of the fire and he saved you
from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you his verses that you may be guided welter coming from oma
to another una Elan Hi. And let there be arising from you are Muslims, a nation, meaning a group?
And what does this group do? inviting to all that is good, meaning you Muslims should be your people
who call everyone to what is good. And there should be some people amongst you who are dedicated to
this cause who give this cause 100% of their time? And what is this cause? call people to what is
good, what is good, Quran is good. Everything that the Quran calls to is good, all works of
		
00:32:29 --> 00:33:14
			righteousness are good. So call people to goodness to hate. Call them in different ways. Invite them
in different ways. Use your skills, use your talents, use your abilities, be creative, and call
people to hide. Because if Allah guides even one person through you, then that is better for you
than a whole lot of worldly treasure. We have morona Bill Maher roofie way and how 911 call. They
should enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, what Allah ecohome will mostly hone and those
will be the successful. So we see here that the people who do these three things what that what you
know, hate calling people too good. I'm a big mouth when a hand and emoticon commanding what is
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:59
			right for bidding what is wrong, then such people are successful, and do not be like the ones who
became divided and deferred, after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great
punishment. On the day, some faces will turn white, and some faces will turn black. As for those
whose faces turned black, this this is referring to the gloom and the depression and the fear. To
them, it will be said, Did you disbelieve after your belief, then taste the punishment for what you
use to project but as for those whose faces will turn white, shining, they will be within the mercy
of Allah, they will abide there in eternally. These are the verses of Allah, we recite them to you
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:11
			in truth. These are truths and Allah wants no injustice to the worlds to Allah belongs whatever is
in the heavens and whatever is on the earth and to Allah will all matters be returned
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:59
			kuntum Hi Hira on methane, you are the best nation. Allah is saying that the Muslim Ummah is who
Hira? omet in the best nation, the best people? Why reject leanness because you have been produced
for mankind, meaning for the benefit of human beings, for delivering to people, prophetic messages,
showing people prophetic examples, because now no more profits are coming. So this responsibility is
on our shoulders. So we must do this. And this shows us that as Muslims, we cannot just focus on our
personal lives on our personal worship. We have an obligation, we have to be concerned about the
greater good
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:52
			We have to call people to that which is good. We have to bring benefit to mankind, we have to be
concerned about their afterlife. But when is it that we can be the best nation? That model would
have been my roof? What an honer and ilonka? What took me when I've been when we do these three
things? What are they? You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. You
enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. This is being honest with people, this is being
sincere to them, that you tell them what is right. Even if the truth hurts, it doesn't mean that you
become harsh in the way you tell them, but you must tell them. The thing is, that all of us need to
		
00:35:52 --> 00:36:41
			push to do what is right, because the knifes finds it hard to do good. So you need that
encouragement. We need voices that urge us we need good reminders to push us to encourage us and at
the same time, we also need someone to warn us to stop us from wrong. Why? Because the knifes is
attracted to sin shaitan also beautifies sin This is why this is an obligation upon the Muslims that
we command one another, we remind one another of what is right and we forbid one another from what
is wrong. So if we want to be the best Amati meaning of the best of the aroma of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then we have to do these three things. Remember maruf is every deed
		
00:36:41 --> 00:37:26
			that is considered good. That is well known as something good. It is not considered bad. And monocle
is every day that Allah subhanaw taala dislikes that the believers also condemned the intellect the
and the fitrah. Human Nature also rejects it. So commanding what is right for bidding what is wrong.
This is something very, very important in Islam. We cannot just focus in our own lives and say, oh,
let people do whatever they want. No, we have to inform people. Of course we have to inform them
with wisdom, with care with empathy, not with arrogance and judgment that we push people away. No,
we have to use wisdom over there. But we cannot say to each their own. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:45
			wa sallam said Islam has a chair's meaning there is different ways to excel in Islam. There is
Islam, there's Salah, there is a carrot, there's fasting, there's Hajj, and there is a mobile maroof
and mahina Mancha and jihad. So according to this Hadees we see the amount of embargo of Nigeria
will cover very, very important.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:38:34
			In another Hadees, we learned the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Oh people, a lot the
exalted says and listen to this carefully, a lot exalted says, You must command what is right. And
you must forbade what is wrong before a time comes that you call upon me and I will not answer you.
You ask me and I will not give you you seek help from me and I will not help you. Meaning if you
stop taking care of one another, if you stop taking care of Allah's Deen, that Allah will also
abandon you. And our problem is that we have raised such huge barriers between ourselves and people,
that we don't let people say anything to us, that this is my life, my choice, I will do whatever I
		
00:38:34 --> 00:39:25
			want, and you don't tell me anything. The thing is that truth hurts, truth stings. And when someone
reminds you of what is right, or warns you of what is wrong, it is easy to see it as judgment. We
think that advice is criticism, but it is not always criticism, it is not always judgment. And
remember, the worst place to be is inside an echo chamber, meaning that a person does not want to
receive any feedback. They just want people to agree with them on everything. And if that is the
case, that a person will be unaware of their own mistakes, so how can they improve? This is why
someone said that your true friend is the one who tells you the truth, not the one who always agrees
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:25
			with you.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:59
			Then it is said if only the People of the Scripture had believed it would have been better for them.
Among them are believers but most of them are defiantly disobedient. You see the People of the Book
failed to command what is right and forbid what is wrong. And when we begin to call Everything okay?
And we fail to distinguish between people's desires and God's guidance. Then we confuse the truth
with falsehood. Allah tada says laniado lucam illa either they will not harm
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:44
			You except for some annoyance, meaning all they can do is just hurt you with their words, they can't
actually cause you any damage. And if they do fight you, they will follow. And if they do fight you,
they will show you their backs, then they will not be aided. They have, they have been put under
humiliation By Allah, wherever they are overtaken, except for a covenant from Allah and a rope from
the Muslims, and they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allah and have been put under
destitution. That is because they disbelieved in the verses of Allah and killed the prophets without
right. That is because they disobeyed and habitually transgressed. Lay so sour, they're not all the
		
00:40:44 --> 00:41:27
			same. What a just statement among the People of the Scripture is a community that is standing
meaning with the obedience of Allah, reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and
prostrating. So we see over here, the recitation of the Quran in the night is mentioned such that in
the night is mentioned. So remember, staying up at night to recite the Quran, is actually something
very virtuous. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also recited Quran in the night to jabril
when he would meet him every night in the month of Ramadan. The thing is that during the day, you
don't always get the chance to recite the Quran, because of the noise and the chaos and you know the
		
00:41:27 --> 00:42:10
			different things that you have to do. So if you're not able to make time during the day, make time
during the night for yourself for the time that you spend with Allah soprano, tada in worship, and
this is important as part of self care. And sometimes staying in the night staying up in the night
for the recitation of the Quran can also include studying the Quran studying sacred knowledge among
Buhari mentions a summary below a me chatting at night about knowledge or tolerating me while you're
able to build a teaching knowledge and admonition at night in his books that he Bahati because in
the night, you're able to focus. So if this is for the sake of Allah, then when you stay up at night
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:56
			to study sacred knowledge, this is something rewardable You mean una bella he will you will ever
hear. They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoy what is right and forbid what is wrong,
and hasten to good deeds will let you come in slowly hain and those are among the righteous. So
these are the qualities of the righteous, and whatever good they do, never will it be removed from
them, because allies appreciative, and Allah is Knowing of the righteous, Indeed, those who
disbelieve, never will their wealth or their children, avail them against a law at all. And those
are the companions of the Fire, they will abide there in eternally. The example of what they spend
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:44
			in this worldly life is like that of a wind containing frost, which strikes the harvest of a people
who have wronged themselves, and that wind destroys that crop. And Allah has not wronged them, but
they wronged themselves. So we see that when a person commits sin, when they do wrong, they actually
invite difficulties and problems upon themselves. Allah subhanaw taala does not wronged people, it
is people who wronged themselves. So committing sin is one of the worst ways of self harm, if you
think about it, and we've seen this ayah that what is being condemned is spending only on worldly
life. So when a person only believes in this life, they don't believe in the Hereafter, they don't
		
00:43:44 --> 00:44:31
			prepare for the Hereafter, and all of their resources, their time, their money, you know, they're
they're thinking, everything, their effort is going into worldly things that now Okay, I want to eat
here and there. And now I want those clothes and those shoes. Now I want to travel here. And now I
want this good thing and that good thing. A person is only concerned about worldly life, then all of
that spending, all of that investment is Like what? Like a storm that destroys a crop. Imagine
meaning on the Day of Judgment, when they will need some harvest, when they will need some reward,
they will not find it. Why? Because all of their spending and their effort got destroyed with the
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:45
			world. So we need to think about ourselves that where is the majority of our wealth and our
attention going? Is it going only in worldly pursuits and worldly comforts? Or are we also preparing
for the hereafter?
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:59
			All you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves for they will not
spare you any ruin. So don't be naive. They wish you would have hardship meaning they love to
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:47
			suffer, hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their chests conceal is greater. We
have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason. Here you are loving them, but
they are not loving you. Amazing. A believers heart is vast, right? So a believer thinks good about
others and also has love for them. But everyone is not like that. There are people who do not wish
well for others. And sometimes you you experienced this from people that no matter how much you want
good for them. They don't want good for you. While you believe in the Scripture, all of it. And when
they meet you, they say we believe but when they're alone, they bite their fingertips at you in
		
00:45:47 --> 00:46:37
			rage, say die in your rage. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the chests in good touches you.
It distresses them. Why because they're jealous of you. They don't like you. But if harm strikes you
they rejoice edit la de la Ilaha. Who could do this? Any someone who is happy, they rejoicing at the
suffering of another need this is very lowly, despicable behavior. This is being two faced, the
believer is happy at the blessings of others and sad at their suffering. An enemy is someone who
will rejoice at the suffering of the other. So how is it that you deal with such enemies, that when
you get hurt, they're laughing at you. They rejoice over that? How is it that you should respond?
		
00:46:37 --> 00:47:29
			We're in the middle with a taco lion. Okay, don't shake. And if you are patient, and you fear Allah,
their plot will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allah is encompassing of what they do. Meaning if
you're a patient, and you fear Allah, then they they're laughing. They're mockery, their desire to
harm you is not going to work. What is patience? What is Subbu that you don't lose heart that you
don't, that you don't get, you don't get affected by their mockery? What is the core that you fear
Allah, and you keep doing what is right? So Sapa patient says that you don't believe what your
haters say about you, what they say about you to you is their problem, not yours, what is the code
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:34
			that you don't forget that you are still a servant of Allah, so you have to do what is right.
		
00:47:35 --> 00:48:20
			So, in this ayah, we see that if a person has suffered and the color, then the harm of the enemies
will not actually harm him, the efforts of the enemies will not actually harm him. And we also see
in this ayah, that people who are too faced meaning who show you their good side, but behind you,
they try to harm you, then such people are not actually your friends, they are in reality your
enemies. So ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect you from such people. There is a beautiful era in
which we learn the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us Aloma in the road to becoming Jedi
so that will Allah, I seek your refuge from an evil neighbor, woman zoji to show you booni public
		
00:48:20 --> 00:49:13
			machine and I seek your refuge from a spouse who makes me old, before old age, meaning they give me
so much trouble. They cause so much stress that I become old before I actually become old. And this
happens with so many people that they look so much older than they are because of the stress in
their life. Women will add in your corner La Jolla and I seek your protection from a child who
becomes a master to me, woman Melanie akuna, la urban and I seek your refuge from a from a property
from wealth that becomes a source of torture for me. Let me Halina maketing and from a friend, a so
called friend who is constantly plotting how that I know who taurani is I is watching me We'll call
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:25
			blue Ernie and his heart is also keeping a guard is also guarding how in the law has an attorney. If
you see something good in me, he hides it.
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:31
			What either as an attorney or her and if you see something bad in me, he spreads it.
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:59
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us from such people. Now some things about the Battle of are
mentioned were able to determine a Holic and remember when you are Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam left your family why to post the believers at their stations for the battle. And Allah is
hearing and knowing the prophets insightfulness, preparation organization. All of this is being
praised over here.
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:33
			Before that, the fact that he left his family to go for battle is being mentioned. You see, leaving
one's family, even for a short while can be very difficult. But Allah is Sameer and Eileen. Allah
hears, He knows the sacrifices that you're making allies hearing. Because when you go out for the
sake of Allah subhanaw taala. When you do something for the sake of Allah, you talk to the people
around you, sometimes positive things, sometimes complaints, sometimes there's victory. Sometimes
there's the hours, what is it that we are saying?
		
00:50:34 --> 00:51:18
			When two parties among you were about to lose courage? Why because our beloved obey the hypocrite,
he left the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and 300 people went back to Medina with him. And
there were some sincere Muslims who lost courage because of that, and they also began thinking of
leaving, but Allah was their ally. So he gave them strength to remain, and upon Allah, the believers
should rely, and already had a lot given you victory at the Battle of better while you were few in
number than fear Allah, perhaps you will be grateful, meaning you should not lose heart when you
face new and different challenges. Don't you remember how Allah granted you success before? How he
		
00:51:18 --> 00:52:04
			helped you navigate such a complicated situation? So is he not going to help you again? What do you
expect from Allah? What did the Muslims have it but they only had the help of Allah? And how is it
that they succeeded because of their sub, they did not give up because of their taqwa they were
mindful of Allah. So remember, the real help comes from Allah. Remember, when you said to the
believers, is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with 3000 angels sent
down? Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah, and the enemy should come upon you
attacking in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with 5000 angels having marks of distinction, and
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:52
			Allah made it not except as a sign of good tidings for you and to reassure your hearts thereby and
victory is not except from Allah, woman not through a laminar in dilla. Who is Allah, Allah Aziz and
Hakeem be Exalted in Might the wise that he might cut down a section of the disbelievers or suppress
them so that they turn back disappointed. Leyzaola communal Emily Shay, not for you will Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the decision whether he should cut them down or forgive them or
punish them, for indeed they are wrongdoers. You see when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam got
injured at the Battle of Earth? He said, how will these people be guided when they have done this to
		
00:52:52 --> 00:53:40
			their messenger? So it is made clear here that it is Allah who guides and at times, people who have
gone very far away from guidance are the ones whom Allah subhanaw taala gives guidance to. So never
be judgmental about people, neither about yourself, nor others, that so and so could never be
guided. I could never be guided no laser like I'm in an empty shade. Can you imagine there were
people who came to fight the Muslims, individuals whose goal was to kill the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam and some of them actually managed to physically harm him, break his tooth, he was
bleeding. And yet among them are those who Allah guided. So yes, you may have done horrible things
		
00:53:40 --> 00:54:24
			in your past. You may have said horrible things unmentionable things, you may think that there is no
hope for you. But laser luck, Amina Emery Shay, this is not for you to decide. If the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not have any say in this matter. Nor do you and I lay seller
community under the shade. guidance is in the hands of Allah. Our job is to keep praying for
guidance for ourselves and also for others and to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on the earth. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills and Allah is
Forgiving and Merciful. All you who have believed, do not consume interest doubled and multiplied
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:59
			but fear Allah that you may be successful. Why is the poor inhibition of interest being mentioned
over here within the verses about the Battle of our head? Because what was the reason why the
Muslims suffered at the Battle of or heard, it was their love for wealth, when the Muslims saw that
the enemy had retreated, and some Muslims were already collecting the war booty. Those who had been
posted at certain positions, left their positions in order to go get a share for themselves. So it
was the love of wealth that caused so much suffering
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:40
			So remember love for wealth, greed for wealth is actually destructive. It can make a person
disregard what is lawful and what is lawful. So the Muslims are advised over here Leave Riba what
the unnatural allottee are in detail caffeine and fear the fire which has been prepared for the
disbelievers and obey Allah and the messenger that you may obtain mercy was Sadie Oh, and hasten,
Isla mobility middle have become to forgiveness from your Lord. What Jen? Nothing Allah has somehow
left to will. And a garden which is as wide as the heavens and the earth. But who is that place for?
		
00:55:42 --> 00:56:37
			The plane prepared for the righteous, so don't go leisurely, but rush to Allah. you exert so much of
your life over the little houses in the world. Don't sell yourself short. Don't settle with less
rush to what is better. Remember, Jenna is vast, Jenna is prepared for the Moodle clean. how vast is
Jana? We learn in a hadith that the distance between two shutters of the gate of Jenna is 40 years.
So imagine if a gate of gender is so huge. What do you think about what is inside? Who is this

fissara he was the RA he those who spend in the cause of Allah when during ease and during hardship,
		
00:56:37 --> 00:57:23
			spending for the pleasure of allies mentioned over here. The first thing is the first quality that
is mentioned is human feel cone that they spend. Because the love for wealth is intense in people.
And when a person spends for the sake of Allah, it really shows their love for Allah is greater than
the love of things. You see, there are people who will last pantalla has given a lot to so if they
gave a lot, you're not surprised, right? And then there are those who have very little, and you
don't expect them to spend anything and that is also okay. But those who are in the middle, meaning
they're hopeful of increasing their wealth, and they're afraid of financial decline if they spend
		
00:57:23 --> 00:58:14
			this person spending is the best, because they're between hope and fear. And they put their trust in
Allah. And then they spend, they put their desire their own, you know their own pleasure, at risk,
meaning they sacrifice their own desire, and they give preference to Allah soprano, Darla and this
is a proof of a truly generous person that they spend in ease and in hardship, that they're focused
on giving, regardless of what their own circumstances are. So they gave in a useful and elusive when
things are easy, and when things are hard. When they have little, when they fear shortage for
themselves, when they don't know how things will be in the near future. But they still give for the
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:58
			sake of Allah subhanaw taala the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam advised a small little de la
marinha led to re for you A Allahu our lake. Do not be retentive. Do not be greedy, that you keep
counting your own money and you keep it safe in your wallet. Don't do that. Because then Allah
subhanaw taala will treat you in the same way. It'll he must authority spend as much as you can. So
remember, generosity is a habit. stinginess is a habit. So those who are generous in good times.
They can also be generous in hard times. Well, Kelly, Mina Hale, and those who suppress their anger
will allow feanor ins and they're pardon people will love who you're hibou, Arseny and Allah who
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:48
			loves the doors of good. Jenna is for such people who, those who discipline their desire, their ego,
their anger, the fact is that everyone gets angry. Catalina lions are those whose hearts get filled
with anger, but they exert tight control over it. Just like a bottle is full to the brim, you seal
the mouth, you don't let the water spill out and dislike that when the anger is bubbling inside.
kalama is to keep tight control over and to not let it explode. And when a person is not able to
control their anger, then this is a sign of their spiritual and emotional weakness. It can even be
an illness, because remember, uncontrolled anger has a very negative impact on a person's physical
		
00:59:48 --> 00:59:59
			health, on their mental health, on their relationships, also, suppressing anger kaleena lame. This
doesn't mean that a person is not allowed to express themselves suppressing
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:46
			Anger means not expressing oneself in an aggressive way. Because remember, there are always better
ways of communicating. suppressing anger means finding a healthier and a more effective way to
express yourself without losing control. And this requires a lot of effort. And those who exert this
effort, Allah subhanaw taala loves such people will love your hibou Marcin, we don't know Hadees
that whoever suppresses their anger, even though if they wanted, they could have acted on it,
meaning they could have shown their anger they could have acted on that anger, but they suppress it,
that Allah will fill their heart with hopes on the Day of Judgment, meaning on the Day of Judgment,
		
01:00:46 --> 01:01:29
			when people will be afraid, such a person will be calm. A man as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam informed me of a deed which will lead me to gender and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

loofa heisha 1001 mo, enforcer home, the cuddle LA, and those who, when they commit an immorality,
or wrong themselves, the myrcene are not perfect. They're human. So they do make mistakes. So when
they made those mistakes, what do they do? They remember a law, and then they seek forgiveness for
their sins, they fix the damage that they have caused, and who can forgive sins except Allah, and
		
01:01:29 --> 01:02:18
			who do not persist in what they have done while they know. Meaning they don't knowingly persist.
They learn from their mistakes. And when they realize their mistake, they do something, they try
different things in order to avoid making the same mistake again. So they work on changing
themselves. And this is so encouraging. The problem is that when we do something wrong, shaitan
makes us believe that will never be forgiven, that we're a lost cause that we can never get better,
that we are just bad. And then what happens is that we don't work on improving ourselves. We must
start believing in the good that Allah subhanaw taala has put inside of us, the good inside of us
		
01:02:18 --> 01:03:03
			the ability to heal, the ability to improve the ability to get better. The thing is that the brain
and it's something amazing, right? neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to adapt and change.
We're not hard wired to fixed patterns, the brains nature is such that it can be changed, our
behaviors are changeable, our bad habits can be broken. So why give up on yourself so quickly?
Remember that it believes shaitan said to Allah subhanaw taala that by your mind and your honor, I
will continue to mislead the children of Adam, as long as their souls are in them. And you know what
Allah,
		
01:03:05 --> 01:03:56
			Allah, Allah said, by my might and my honor, I will continue to forgive them as long as they seek
forgiveness of me. So keep seeking forgiveness and do not feel bad because in another head, these we
learned a lot Panthera says, Oh son of Adam, I shall go on forgiving you. So long as you pray to me
and seek my forgiveness. Whatever may be your sins, all son of Adam, I do not care if your sins
should pile up to the sky. Imagine so many things, that they reach up to the clouds. And even then,
if you should beg pardon of me, I will forgive you. I do not mind let badly or son of Adam, if you
come to me with an earth full of sins, imagine the whole world. Imagine committing that many sins,
		
01:03:57 --> 01:04:43
			and when you meet me, not associating anything with me and worship, I will certainly grant you as
much pardon as will fill the earth. Allah subhanaw taala has mercy and forgiveness is greater than
our sins. So never lose hope. No matter what you have done, remind yourself I can improve. I can get
better and yes, not in one day. Not in one week. It will take many tries. But I have to keep trying.

you could do, you fail a course, you get fired, you don't meet your goals. And this can be very
upsetting. You begin to doubt yourself, you begin to wonder what is wrong with you. Remember, these

you're no longer worthy. These setbacks do not mean that you are a loser, that you will never get

touch you, because remember, the Muslims had 70 casual they have 70 casualties in this battle.
		
01:06:27 --> 01:07:16
			If a wound should touch you, there has already touched the opposing people a wound that is similar
to it at bother. The machine also lost 70 people and these days of varying conditions. We alternate
among the people, meaning things don't always remain the same for everyone. Why? So that Allah may
make evident those who believe and may take to himself from among you martyrs. And Allah does not
like the wrongdoers. Well you must use Allah who levena amanu William Heckle caffeine and that Allah
May purify the believers and destroy the disbelievers. So the thing is, that trials, purify a person
trials, prepare a person for bigger challenges, trials Polish a person that build his capacity,
		
01:07:17 --> 01:08:02
			build his stamina, because the person who is not able to bear little things with patience, then they
cannot handle bigger things either. The higher you want to go, the greater hardships you have to
bear. So when Allah subhanaw taala makes you go through some hardship. It is not to torture you. It
is just to make you stronger, because there's something much better that is coming ahead and has a
bottom enter the whole agenda, or do you think that you will enter Paradise, while Allah has not yet
made evident those of you who fight will strive in His cause, and made evident those who are
steadfast, meaning your efforts will be examined, while akata contentment Noel multiman cobble, and
		
01:08:02 --> 01:08:44
			you had certainly wished for martyrdom before you encountered it. And you have now seen it before
you while you were looking on many companions wished for Shahada before the Battle of or heard
Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not but a messenger. Other messengers have passed on before
him. So if he was to die, or be killed, would you turn back on your heels to unbelief? at the Battle
of all heard, a rumor spread about the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And we
learned that many companions felt weak in their hearts, they felt really faint in their heart at
that time and thought, why should we bother to continue? So Allah subhanaw taala reminds them that
		
01:08:44 --> 01:09:35
			if he's to die, or to be killed, are you going to turn back on your heels? Are you going to go back
to your former ways? Are you just going to quit? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm
Allah at all. But Allah will reward the grateful. So we all need to check ourselves. Why is it that
we're really striving in our lives? For whose sake is it for the sake of a person? Is it for the
sake of a material goal? If that is the case, then our striving, our struggle, our efforts will be
momentary. If our goal is Allah subhanaw taala. If our eventual any goal and purpose is to please
Allah subhanaw taala then we will go on and continue until the very end of our lives, one mechanic
		
01:09:35 --> 01:09:59
			cleanups in unter Mota elaborate Neela and it is not possible for one to die except by the
permission of Allah at a decree determined and whoever desires the reward of this world. We will
give him they're off and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, we will give him their off and
we will reward the Grateful and how many a prophet fought and with him fought many religious
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:45
			Colors, but they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allah. Their hearts
did not break, nor did they weaken or submit. They did not quit. And Allah loves the step first.
Notice how shackling are mentioned over here saw beading are mentioned over here. And their words
were not, but that they said our Lord, forgive us our sins and the excess committed in our affairs
and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people. Notice how Allah
subhanaw taala mentions that there were so many they were read the unica feed of great numbers, yet
they did not rely upon themselves. They relied upon Allah subhanaw taala and they combined patience
		
01:10:45 --> 01:11:08
			with his default. This is how we face difficult situations in life, that on the one hand, we observe
patients we do not give up no matter what happens. And on the other hand, we also beg Allah subhanaw
taala for forgiveness. So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the
hereafter. And Allah loves the doers of good
		
01:11:09 --> 01:11:57
			Yeah, uh, you Halina amanu all you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will
turn you back on your heels and you will then become losers. But Allah is your protector, and he is
the best of helpers, we will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have
associated with Allah, of which he had not sent down any authority and the refuge will be the fire
and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers. So we see in this ayah that schicke associating
partners with Allah is something that weakens a person, it brings fear in their life, it removes
blessing from their life. So learn to purify your faith in Allah, learn to purify your reliance upon
		
01:11:57 --> 01:12:04
			Allah subhanaw taala that you only rely on him, expect from him, fear him seek Him.
		
01:12:05 --> 01:12:48
			And Allah had certainly fulfill his promise to you, when you were killing the enemy by his
permission, meaning at the beginning of the battle, you Muslims were certainly victorious by the
help of Allah, until when you lost courage, and fell to disputing about the order and disobeyed
after he had shown you that which you love. among you are some who desire this world and among your
some who desire the Hereafter, then he turned you back from them defeated, that he might test you
and he has already forgiven you. And Allah is the possessor of bounty for the believers. Remember,
when you fled and climbed the mountain without looking aside at anyone, while the messenger was
		
01:12:48 --> 01:13:06
			calling you from behind? So Allah repaid you with distress upon distress, why, so you would not
grieve for that which had escaped you or for that which had befallen you, and Allah is acquainted
with what you do.
		
01:13:07 --> 01:14:00
			So the main thing is that Allah subhanaw taala does not want us to grieve over worldly loss. The
reality of this world is that it is not meant to stay forever. And if a person keeps grieving and
yearning for what has gone, they cannot appreciate and make use of what they have. The nature of
this world is such that every single moment we are losing something, right, every single moment, we
are losing for instance time, but at the same moment, we are also receiving Allah subhanaw taala is
constantly replacing what we are losing with something else something better. So if we only focus on
what has gone, we will be sad and grieved. We need to focus on what is coming, what we are
		
01:14:00 --> 01:14:46
			receiving. Now of course grief and sadness. This is something natural, it is real, but too much of
it can be debilitating. It can weaken a person. And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam would frequently make Dora Alabama in the EU becoming an HMI will hasn't will rGz will castle
will Germany will bull will bother it Danny will deliberately reject that will I seek your I seek
refuge in You from worry and grief and hum while hasn't. So when you lose something, say under a law
when I share a foreign this was a love decree whatever Allah wanted has happened. And then bring
yourself together and try to move forward. Then after distress he sent down upon you security in the
		
01:14:46 --> 01:14:53
			form of drowsiness. soprano love, you see sleep after an episode of stress is very much needed.
		
01:14:54 --> 01:14:59
			And this is the same thing that happened with the Muslims after enduring all of that difficulty.
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:41
			at the Battle of Earth, they actually felt drowsy. Some of them fell asleep, overcoming a faction of
you, while another faction worried about themselves, meaning they just couldn't relax. Why? Thinking
of a law other than the truth, the thought of ignorance saying, Is there anything for us to have
done in this matter? These were the hypocrites thinking negative thoughts about Allah soprano Darla
say, indeed the matter belongs completely to Allah. It's not about what we want. It's about what
Allah decides. They conceal within themselves, what they will not reveal to you. They say if there
was anything we could have done in the matter, some of us would not have been killed right here.
		
01:15:41 --> 01:16:31
			Say, even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed, would have come out to
their deathbeds. It was so that Allah my test what is in your chests and purify what is in your
hearts? And Allah is Knowing of that within the chests. In alladhina tolo men come, yo multiple
German, indeed, those of you who turned back on the day the two armies met. Why is it that the
hypocrites left it was shaped on who caused them to slip because of some blame they had earned. Or
this is referring to the one low income meaning those Muslims who turned away from their places with
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had appointed them on? Why did they move? Why did they end
		
01:16:31 --> 01:17:18
			up disobeying the Prophet sallallahu wasallam shavon caused them to slip because of some blame they
had earned. So remember, it is because of our own weaknesses, our own sins, because of which a lot
gets the better of us. But Allah has already forgiven them. So don't talk bad about the companions.
Indeed, Allah is Forgiving, and forbearing Yeah, are you Hello, Dina amanu, all you will have
believed, do not let all you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about
their brothers, when they're travelled through the land or went out to fight, if they had been with
us, they would not have died or have been killed. So Allah makes that a regret within their chests.
		
01:17:18 --> 01:18:06
			And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is seeing of what you do. So we should
not say such things that you know, oh, if I had not done such and such, then I wouldn't have
suffered this loss. No, the prophets of Allah who already oh seven said be keen on what benefits you
and seek help from Allah and do not give up and if anything afflicts you do not say low, if I had
done such and such, then such and such would not have happened. rather say that Allah, wa Masha
foreign because saying low is something that opens the door for shavon. So don't Welcome shavon and
if you were killed in the cause of Allah or die, then forgiveness from Allah and mercy are better
		
01:18:06 --> 01:18:46
			than whatever they accumulate. And whether you die or are killed unto Allah, you will be gathered.
This is such an excellent way to dispel anxiety. You know, when you're feeling very anxious, ask
yourself, okay, what's the worst thing that will happen? bring to mind all of your worries and
concerns and ask yourself okay, then what? Then what will happen? Okay, then what will happen?
What's the worst thing I'll die? Okay? Death is going to happen anyway. We're all gonna die anyway.
So process your fears. Don't avoid them. For the Moto Moto, Aminullah Hill intellia home, so by
mercy from Allah or messenger, you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude and harsh in
		
01:18:46 --> 01:19:36
			heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and
consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah, Indeed, Allah loves
those who rely upon him. Allah subhanaw taala is especially blessed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam with leniency and softness with gentleness. And this gentleness is very, very important for a
good leader. For the person who calls people to Allah subhanaw taala the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said, gentleness is not in anything except that it makes it beautiful. Even within a
household within the family, gentleness is essential. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
01:19:36 --> 01:20:00
			no people of a house are given gentleness except that it will benefit them. And no people of a house
are deprived of gentleness except that it will harm them. So we see that people who are not gentle
people who are not easy going with one another, they suffer, they suffer themselves, and they also
cause others to suffer. So don't just wait for people to be generous.
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:45
			With you first, you initiate the gentleness in Seoul como la vida Holly Bella calm. If Allah should
aid you, no one can overcome you. But if he should forsake you, who was there that can aid you after
him? And upon Allah let the believers rely. So ask him for help. It is not attributable to any
Prophet, that he should act unfaithfully in regard to war, booty, and whoever betrays taking
unlawfully will come with what he took on the Day of Resurrection, then will every soul be fully
compensated for what it earned? And they will not be wronged? So is one who pursues the pleasure of
Allah, like one who brings upon himself the anger of Allah, and whose refuge is *? And wretched
		
01:20:45 --> 01:21:38
			as the destination using these people are the same? No, there are varying degrees in the sight of
Allah. And Allah is seeing of whatever they do. Look at the Mandela who I mean, certainly did Allah
confer great favor upon the believers, when he sent among them a messenger from themselves, reciting
to them his verses, and purifying them, and teaching them the book and wisdom, although they had
been before it in manifest error sopran Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't just
impart knowledge. He didn't just recite the Quran, he also purified the people use a key him. So
with Darlene, does gear purification, growth is very important. Remember, sacred knowledge is not
		
01:21:38 --> 01:21:52
			just for the sake of information. We don't just study sacred knowledge in order to increase in our
information. No, it is for the purpose of improvement, so that we purify ourselves, our character,
our behavior, our lives.
		
01:21:53 --> 01:22:40
			Why is it that when a single disaster struck you, this was on the day of oil, although you had
struck the enemy, previously in the Battle of butter, with something twice as great. You said, from
where is this? The Muslims were shocked at the Battle of birth? That How did this happen? Say it is
from yourselves. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. And what struck you on the day of the
two? And what struck you on the day the two armies met was by permission of Allah, that he might
make evident, the true believers? You see, sometimes you wonder that I am trying to do something
good. Why is it so hard for me? So remember, the hardship that you're facing is by the permission of
		
01:22:40 --> 01:23:25
			Allah, it is not random. It was selected for you, not to destroy you, but to improve you to make you
better than before. When Dr. De Molina Neff aku, and that he might make evident those who are
hypocrites, for it was set to them come fight in the way of Allah, or at least defend. They said, if
we had no there would be fighting, we would have followed you what a lie. You see the hypocrites.
They tried to deceive the Muslims and at the Battle of the hypocrites were exposed, because a friend
in need is a friend. Indeed, they they abandoned the Muslims. So it was made very clear that these
people are not sincere to you. They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith saying what
		
01:23:25 --> 01:23:30
			their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah is most knowing of what they conceal.
		
01:23:31 --> 01:24:16
			Those who said about their brothers while sitting at home, if they had obeyed us, they would not
have been killed, say, then prevent death from yourselves if you should be truthful, when at their
subban alladhina cuchillo feasable Allah He Amata and never think of those who have been killed in
the cause of Allah as dead. Rather they are alive with their Lord receiving provision. One of the
first things we feel for someone who has died is pity that Oh, they never got to see this. They
never got to experience that, you know they missed out. And the last panel Tyler tells us that the
person who dies in his way is not missing out. Because the Shaheed the martyr, is given provision,
		
01:24:16 --> 01:24:59
			sustenance and reward in the life of buzzer even before they enter agenda before the Day of Judgment
for the haina Bhima Atta, who will love him and family, rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed upon
them of his bounty, and they received good tidings about those after them who have not yet joined
them, that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will be grieve, they rejoice. They receive
good tidings of favor from Allah and bounty and of the fact that Allah does not allow the reward of
believers to be lost. And loneliness the jab, Buddha Allah He will assume those believers who
responded to Allah and the messenger
		
01:25:00 --> 01:25:12
			Danger after injury had struck them. This is so beautiful for those who did good among them and
feared Allah is a great reward. You see, right after the Battle of
		
01:25:13 --> 01:26:01
			when the Muslims returned to Medina, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam feared that the machine
the enemy would return and try to attack the Muslims again. So the Prophet sallallaahu already sent
him decided that the Muslims should go and pursue the enemy and face them outside. So the Muslims
who were injured, who had barely recovered from the Battle of hood, when they were asked to go face
the enemy to go pursue the enemy, they got up and they went, they were physically and emotionally
wounded. They were tired, but still, they went in obedience to Allah and His messenger. So Allah
says, Those who do SN and sometimes it happens, that you know, you are exhausted from one fast and
		
01:26:01 --> 01:26:48
			then you have to fast again the next day. You are tired from your fast and then you have to do pm.
So yes, this is tiring. But remember, those who do your sun, those who fear Allah, Allah has a huge
reward for them. those to whom Hippocrates said, Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so
fear them, but it merely increase them in faith. And they said, has Buddha law sufficient for us is
Allah, meaning Allah alone is enough for us, even if all odds are against us, Allah is enough,
because Allah is all powerful. And he is when near men were killed, the best Disposer of affairs,
meaning he is the best one to rely upon these words has been Allahu and airman Joaquin. They're very
		
01:26:48 --> 01:27:36
			powerful. And when things get really hard, we should also say the same words, Ibrahim alayhis. Salam
also said these words, when he was thrown in the fire by his people, difficult things will become
easy when we say Hezbollah. So what happened, they returned with favor from Allah, meaning with
victory and bounty, no harm having touched them, and they pursued the pleasure of Allah and Allah is
the possessor of great bounty. And so this turned their defeat back into victory, because Medina was
defended. The enemy did not pursue the Muslims with the Muslims pursued them. So we see that another
test after a setback allows you to mend your situation to fix your mistake. So we see over here that
		
01:27:36 --> 01:28:24
			the companions they received for rewards of our code of relying upon the last panel terror of not
quitting, and what are these four rewards nerima Allah's blessing, and that was victory fuddle, more
more favor. And that was the treaties of peace that they had made safety and also rainbow, Allah's
approval. That is only shaitan who frightens you of his supporters, so fear them not, but fear me,
if you are indeed believers, and do not be grieved by those who hasten into disbelief, indeed, they
will never harm Allah at all. Allah intends that he should give them no share in the Hereafter, and
for them is a great punishment. Indeed, those who purchase disbelief in exchange for faith never
		
01:28:24 --> 01:28:35
			will the harm of Law at all, and for them is a painful punishment. And let those who disbelieve ever
think that because we extend their time of enjoyment in it is better for them.
		
01:28:36 --> 01:29:21
			And let not those who disbelieve everything, that because we extend their time of enjoyment, it is
better for them, we only extended for them so that they may increase in sin. And for them is a
humiliating punishment. maken en la julio de la mina, Aloma and Tamara LA, a la would not leave the
believers in that state you are in meaning things are not always going to remain the same. They will
be turned upside down, you will be tested and tried until he separates the evil from the good, nor
would Allah reveal to you the unseen. But instead, Allah chooses of his messengers when he wills, so
believe in Allah and His messengers. And if you believe and fear Him, then for you is a great
		
01:29:21 --> 01:30:00
			reward. And let not those who greedily withhold what Allah has given them of his bounty, ever think
that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them, their next will be encircled by what they
withheld on the Day of Judgment. And this is the punishment of not giving the cat that that wealth
that property will be will be wound around the neck of the person and to Allah belongs the heritage
of the heavens and the earth. And Allah with what you do, is fully acquainted. Allah has certainly
heard the statement of those who said, Indeed, Allah is poor while we are rich. sopran Allah when
Allah says in the
		
01:30:00 --> 01:30:42
			Hold on that who will give to a law a goodly loan? Some people, you know, they market this. And they
did. And they marked at this at the time of the prophets of Allah who were to send him as well.
There was a lot asking for a loan is he poor, we are rich. And they said this only to mark. Allah
says he has heard such people have called the semi Allah. Allah asks us to spend on his religion,
not because he is in need, but to give us an opportunity, we will record what they said, and their
killing of the prophets without right and we will say, and we will say, taste the punishment of the
burning fire. That is for what your hands have put forth. And because Allah is not ever unjust to
		
01:30:42 --> 01:31:28
			his servants, there are those who said, Indeed, Allah has taken our promise not to believe any
messenger until he brings us an offering, which fire from heaven will consume. Say, there have
already come to you messengers before me with clear proofs, and even that of which you speak. So why
did you kill them, if you should be truthful? Meaning these are all excuses, than if they deny you.
So we're messengers denied before you who brought clear proofs and written ordinances and the
enlightening scripture, Kowloon of sin, the equal to the mode, every soul will taste death, and you
will only be given your full compensation on the Day of Resurrection, not now, but in the hereafter.
		
01:31:28 --> 01:32:17
			So he who was drawn away from the fire and admitted to paradise has attained his desire, meaning
such a person is successful, and what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion? So
the person who thinks that this life and its things are everything is truly deceived. They're mis
directed, they've got it all wrong. And those who've got it right. Those who are not deceived, are
those who focus on what is to come after death, meaning the hereafter so they prepare for it. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Indeed, the space in Paradise, which is taken up by a
whip, a whip is like a belt, something so small, a place an area that is so small, that area in
		
01:32:17 --> 01:32:32
			general, is better than the world and whatever that is in it, recite if you wish from observe the
Heron and now what are the hidden agenda for the fez woman higher to dunya ilimitado Rue de
		
01:32:33 --> 01:33:21
			la to below nifi, unworldly, calm, what unfussy calm, you will surely be tested in your possessions
and in yourselves. And you will surely hear from those who are given the Scripture before you and
from those who associate others with Allah, much abuse, so be prepared, this will happen. But if you
are patient and fear Allah, again, sobald entaco are mentioned. Indeed, that is of the matters
worthy of determination. And a person who has determination is able to do something only they are
able to reach higher levels. So Allah subhanaw taala has informed us over here that Tableau one, you
will be tested, so be ready. And the fact is that everyone has tested, so be prepared for hardship.
		
01:33:21 --> 01:34:10
			Life is not going to be a bed of roses, there will be obstacles, and never think that you're having
it worse than all problems are for you. That somehow you are the only one who attracts to
tribulation, know, everyone is tested. Because what happens is that sometimes in self pity, we begin
to think that our tests are the most difficult, and that perhaps Allah subhanaw taala has been
unfair to us. That is not the case. The fact is that everyone is being tested because this life is
supposed to be for a test. Because we become biased. This is why we see our problems as the worst
and other problems and other people's problems as if they're nothing. The Prophet sallallahu erusean
		
01:34:10 --> 01:34:56
			was asked which people are tested the most severely. He said the prophets and the righteous and then
the next best meaning according to their level. And he said a person is tested according to the
level of his religion. If there's strength in his religion, his trial is increased. And if there is
weakness in his religion and his trial is lightened and other Hadees we learned that of believing
men and believing woman is tested in their body, wealth or children continuously, so that when they
meet Allah, there is no sin left on them. So Pamela, this is why no matter what the test is, we
should never be upset with Allah, because from an earlier follow who Libba whoever is pleased, then
		
01:34:56 --> 01:34:59
			he will get a less approval. Woman Sofitel
		
01:35:00 --> 01:35:41
			Who's out, and whoever gets upset with that he will find all upset as well. And mention or profit,
when a lot took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture saying, you must make it clear to
the people and not conceal it. But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a
small price, and wretched is that which they purchased. And never think that those who rejoice in
what they have perpetrated and like to be praised for what they did not do. They haven't done
anything, yet they want to be praised. They want the rewards, never think them to be in safety, for
the punishment, and for them is a painful punishment, when you let him win because somehow what you
		
01:35:41 --> 01:36:28
			will have, and to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is over all
things competent, he's capable of all things. And now, the last verses of suited alien bronze, Ron
begin. And these verses were very dear to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam the night that these
verses were revealed upon him, he wept so much he got up he prayed, and he wept so much that the
ground on which he did send the became wet. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said
about these verses, that woe to the one who recites them, but does not reflect upon them. In another
Hadith, we learn that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would recite these verses, on waking
		
01:36:28 --> 01:37:18
			up at the time of the head. So this is something that we should also do. What are these verses in
nephew Hulk is somehow it will have indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth. And the
alternation of the night and the day are Signs for those of understanding. So we should reflect on
how there was nothing. And Allah created it all. And how Allah subhanaw taala changes the night into
the day and the day into the night, we should learn that Allah subhanaw taala can bring things from
where we cannot even imagine. He can make what was not. And he can change things in the most subtle
way. So trust him, Have faith in Him, who are those of intellect, there are those who remember Allah
		
01:37:18 --> 01:38:08
			while standing or sitting or lying on their sides, and they give thought to the creation of the
heavens and the earth. And they say, Our Lord, you did not create this aimlessly Exalted are You
then protect us from the punishment of the Fire. So we see over here, that victory isn't mentioned
that there are those who remember Allah. And they remember a loved one sitting, standing, laying
down hinny all the time, they remember Allah, and they contemplate, they reflect over the creation.
So they could as mentioned before, figured before, it's difficult, because for guidance,
intelligence alone is not enough. The light of Allah Vicar is also needed. On the that was asked,
		
01:38:09 --> 01:38:54
			How was that? And she said that he would mostly be occupied with contemplation with the fact that he
would reflect a lot and she was asked, What do you think? Is contemplation even an action? She said,
yes, it is a deed through which one acquires conviction, meaning it is a process through which you
develop your pain, you need to think and contemplate. This is why even our own said, that
reflection, removes heedlessness, and produces the fear of Allah in the heart, just as water
irrigates land and prepares it for growth. So if we want to do something, if we want to be obedient,
righteous servants of Allah, we need the fear of Allah first. So how do we develop that? How is it
		
01:38:54 --> 01:39:42
			that we water our hearts with contemplation? They say, Our Lord, indeed whoever you admit to the

begin with a banana or banana or banana our Lord. And so Allah says faster Jabba hora boom, and
their Lord responded to them. A Buddha that said many

accepted. So we should also make Dora in the same manner. When you call upon Allah, call upon him by
single burner, be my Rob Our Lord, call upon him. This is a way of having your dog answered. There
is such a beautiful Hadith in which we learned that a man committed a sin and said, I'll be my Lord,
I have committed a sin, please forgive me. So his Lord said, my slave knows that he has a lord who
forgives sins and punishes for it. So I have forgiven my slave. And then the servant again, after
some time committed a sin, a sin and said, Rob, be my Lord, I have committed another sin, please
		
01:40:44 --> 01:41:27
			forgive me. So unless penalty forgives him, again, a person, the same person commits a sin and says
that I'll be my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me. And Allah says, my slave
knows that he has a lord who forgives sins and punishes for it. Therefore, I have forgiven my slave,
I have forgiven my slave. So we should also make the line the same manner, but I'll be my love. And
these the others that are into the other one, these verses, these are accepted doors, because Allah
says festa jab Allah whom Allah responded to them, these are other already accepted. So we should
make them what is the response that Allah gave, Never will I allow to be lost the reward of any

fought or were killed, I will surely have removed from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit
them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with him the best
reward. So those who believe and bear hardship in Allah zwei, they don't give up, they don't quit,
then Allah subhanaw taala will reward them so generously, Be not deceived by the uninhibited

will have gardens beneath which rivers flow abiding, eternally daring as accommodation from Allah,
and that which is with Allah is best for the righteous. And indeed, among the People of the

Remember the pseudo was revealed after the Battle of birth. And in the Battle of warhead, many
Muslims were martyred. And so there were now so many households where there were widows, there were
orphans. So there are many verses in the surah, which are related to the rights of the weak, the
		
01:46:30 --> 01:47:15
			people who are often neglected in the society and the surah begins with the instruction to observe
the core have the core have fear of Allah, be conscious of Allah. Why? Because when there is taqwa,
the only then will a person do right? Then they will fear Allah and not commit oppression. Then
there will be social justice, then the week will be cared for. When we're out there'll be a lot more

			What are two laietana on why the home and give to the orphans their properties, and do not
substitute the defective of your own for the good of theirs. Meaning don't take their good things
and give them your bad things and do not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is
ever a great sin. So who can abstain from this the person who has the poor, taking guardianship of
an orphan is something very virtuous, very, very reward. rewardable provided that a person observes
the fear of Allah. We've already in a Hadith, the guardian of the orphan, whether the orphan is his
own, or someone else's, will be with me in gender like this, as long as he fears Allah Anima Malik,
		
01:48:15 --> 01:48:58
			when the narrative this Hadith, he joined his two fingers together. So taking care of the orphan,
whether it is your own. So for example, if a man dies, leaving a five year old child and now the
mother is left to raise the child on her own, she also comes in this, if she raises a child with the
color of Allah, wherever the grandparents, for example, raise their orphan grandchildren with the
color of Allah, they will be with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And if you fear that you
will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you have other women, two
or three or four. And this is a permission that has been given with certain conditions, and what are
		
01:48:58 --> 01:49:45
			those conditions. But if you fear that you will not be just meaning between your wives, then marry
only one or those your right hands possess that is more suitable that you may not inclined to
injustice. You see, this teaches us that if a person fears that they may not be able to be just in a
certain situation, that they might not be fair, or that they might not be able to do something
properly, then they should stay away. Even if it is something permissible, even if it is something
rewardable stay away, have the power of Allah and only take on what you know you can handle and give
the women upon marriage, their bridal gifts graciously, meaning give them a hug. Happily, this is an
		
01:49:45 --> 01:49:59
			obligation. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and
ease, but don't force them to give it up. And this is unfortunately so common in so many Muslim
societies where women are not given their Mahesh
		
01:50:00 --> 01:50:44
			They're told big amounts at the time of marriage, but they're never given them. In a Heidi's we
learned that whichever man marries a woman over a Mahood whether it was smaller, big, but in his
heart is no intention to give her that and he dies in that state without giving her right, then he
will meet Allah on the day of judgment as a fornicator. This is something that should be taken very
seriously when I have to suffer her unwelcome and do not give the weak minded your property. Meaning
when Allah has given you wealth, then don't give it to those who don't know how to manage it, who
don't know how to look after it, because then your wealth will get wasted. What is wealth wealth is
		
01:50:44 --> 01:51:32
			something important. Allah has made a means of sustenance for you, you need it, but provide for them
with it and clothe them and speak to them words of appropriate kindness. So neither be tight *
with them nor be careless, be responsible when it comes to money, when Natalia talma and test the
orphans meeting in their abilities until they reach marriageable age, then, if you perceive in them
sound judgment, then release their property to them, and do not consume it excessively and quickly,
anticipating that they will grow up and whoever is self sufficient should refrain, meaning whoever
is acting as a guardian of an orphan should refrain from taking from the wealth of the orphan, if he
		
01:51:32 --> 01:52:19
			has enough money, if he is self sufficient, but if he's poor, Allah, Allah says, woman can afford
kealan and whoever is poor, then let him take according to what is acceptable. He can charge a fee
but moderately than when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them, and

Nisa, in a stable metaphorical way Danny will occur a boon for men is a share of what the parents
and close relatives leave and for women is also a share of what the parents and close relatives
leave, meaning men get to inherit. And women also have rights of inheritance be at little or much,
		
01:52:19 --> 01:53:04
			regardless of how much the estate is, and how big or small the shares become. Women are legal heirs,
just as men are legal heirs and asleep of Marula and obligatory share. What either How about this
matter, and when other relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the time of division, then
provide for them and speak to them words of appropriate kindness, meaning when an estate has been
divided amongst the legal heirs, and some other people come up, some other people show up. And even
though they don't have a legal share, still give them something. And if you cannot give them
something, then at least speak to them nicely. So when someone comes to you, expecting that you will
		
01:53:04 --> 01:53:52
			give them something, then don't leave, don't send them away, don't reject them, give them something,
acknowledge them, even if it's just a smile, even if it's just a good word, but give them something,
don't hurt them, and don't disappoint them. And let those executors and guardians fear injustice, as
if they themselves had left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allah and
speak words of appropriate justice, meaning put yourself in that situation, how would you want your
children to be treated after your death. So when, when you're dealing with orphans, deal with them
the way you would want your children to be treated after you. Indeed, those who devour the property
		
01:53:52 --> 01:54:40
			of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire and they will be burned in a blaze.
Now the law of inheritance as mentioned, aligns trucks you concerning your children for the mail,
what is equal to the share of two females? Remember that when it comes to the law of inheritance,
then these chairs are appointed by Allah soprano authority. So this means that no person is allowed
to modify them. And if Allah subhanaw taala has appointed these chairs, then these chairs are
perfect. They are based on his wisdom on his perfect justice. So why is it that the male has the
share of two females? Because remember, financial burden financial responsibility rests on the
		
01:54:40 --> 01:54:59
			shoulders of men, they're obligated to spend on their dependence. They're obligated to give money to
the wife on getting married, and the Nef aka meaning spending on her in the family all lifelong. And
inheritance is the only time that men actually received something for free
		
01:55:01 --> 01:55:49
			So this is why the share of the son is twice as that of the daughter, because what is the son going
to do with his share? He has to spend it on his dependence. Now, what about the daughter? What about
the woman, she can do whatever she wants with her money, but the man is obligated to spend it on his
family. Remember, even if a woman is a millionaire, she's not required to spend on her husband and
her children, and a man must spend on his wife on his children. This is a religious obligation on
him. So a woman is never obligated to spend on others, but a man must spend on his family, he must.
So the poor guy only received something at the time of inheritance. But if there are only daughters
		
01:55:49 --> 01:56:35
			two or more for them as two thirds of one's estate, and if there is only one for her is half. And
for once parents to each one of them, mother or father is a sixth of his estate if he left children,
but if he had no children, and the parents alone inherit from him, then for his mother is a third.
And if he had brothers or sisters, for his mother is a sixth, after any request he may have made or
your parents or your children, you know not which of them are nearest to you and benefit. These
chairs are an obligation imposed by Allah. Indeed, Allah is Ever knowing and wise, so do not object
at this defeat at this dis division, be pleased with it, because Allah subhanaw taala knows, you do
		
01:56:35 --> 01:57:19
			not know and for you is half of what your wives leave, if they have no child, but if they have a
child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they may have made or debt, and
for the wives is one fourth, if you leave no child, but if you leave a child, then for them as an
eighth of what you leave, after any bequest, you may have made or debt, and if a man or woman leaves
neither ascendance, nor descendants, but has a brother or a sister, than for each of them is a
sixth, but if there are more than two, they share a third after any request which was made or debt.
This is an ordinance from Allah and Allah is Knowing and forbearing. So remember, inheritance is
		
01:57:19 --> 01:58:02
			only to be divided after fulfilling the request. As long as the request the will, the will see ya is
not unjust, and the loans have also been paid off. tilaka who do the law, these are the limits set
by Allah And whoever obeys Allah and His messenger will be admitted by him to gardens and paradise
under which rivers flow abiding eternally they're in and that is the great attainment. And whoever
disobeys Allah and His messenger and transgresses his limits, he will put him into the fire to abide
eternally therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment. Those who commit unlawful sexual
* of your women, bring against them four witnesses from among you, who have actually
		
01:58:02 --> 01:58:44
			witnessed the act. And if they testify, confine the guilty women to houses until death overtakes
them, or Allah ordains for them another way, and if there are no witnesses, then they're innocent
until proven guilty, and the two men and the two who commit it meaning sinner among you, dishonor
them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is Ever
Accepting of repentance and merciful. So remember those who repent, then Allah accepts their
repentance. The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance or
carelessness, and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness. And
		
01:58:44 --> 01:59:26
			Allah is Ever knowing and wise. What is Johanna, what is ignorance, ignorance can also be
carelessness, that a person does something wrong, because they don't know it is wrong, or that they
don't remember it is wrong. They don't remember that they're being watched. And this is usually when
a person is overcome by their emotion. They're blinded by their desire, when they set it over to the

bear. When he cheats her, when he hurts her, this is something very painful for her when he does not
give her her rights. Again, this is something very painful for her. And this includes sexual
gratification. Also, many women are deprived of this in their marriages, where the husband is only

your relationship, focus on the positive. And you know, some people they're very difficult to deal
with, but they remind you of your reality. So you don't become arrogant. They remind you of your
shortcomings. So you keep turning back to Allah. And then it is said, but if you want to replace one

people will say, No, unless parents are does not torture us like that. If you must end a marriage,
