Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2012 – P01 018D Tafsir Al-Baqarah 127-128

			Number 127. Well, if your foe Ibrahim will cover EDA and recall when Ibrahim Murray Sinha he was
raising the foundations, the foundations of what middle Beatty of the house which house, the house
of Allah the Kaaba. Allah subhanaw taala is telling us about the time when Ibrahim is constructed
the Kaaba. Notice what if. And recall this mentioned this, remember this, this is worth remembering.
This incident must not be forgotten. This time when Ibrahima listener was constructing the kava,
should not be forgotten last in history. No, this was a very important occasion from which many
lessons can be learned.
		

			In the previous verses, we learned about how Allah subhanaw taala made the Kaaba, the house of Allah
metabo leanness, what is metabo Linas a place of return, a place where people constantly go back to
whether physically or with their heart, the constantly remembered, because it's the place of the
worship of Allah subhanaw taala Allah subhanaw taala also told us that how he made that place, a
case of peace, a place of safety, a place of security, that every single person who goes there is
safe and secure, his life, his property, his honor, everything is safe over there. Now Allah is
telling us about how that place came to be. What is the history of that place? Why is that place so
		

			important? So Allah is reminding us he's teaching us over here about the way how the Kaaba was
constructed. So what a beautiful Ibrahim will cover it here is from Rafa Rafa, Rafa is to raise
something to lift something up. And this could be in two ways, first of all, in the physical sense.
So for example, there's a book on the floor, you pick it up, and you put it on the table. Have you
raised it? Yes, you have. Secondly, refer isn't the intangible set, for example, somebody's status?
They were a worker, and now they're the boss. So hasn't their status been elevated? It has been
lifted up certain two ways, in the tangible sense and also in the intangible sense. So what easier
		

			for Abraham Ibrahim, what was he lifted? What was he raising? Awareness, the foundations, the
foundations of the Kaaba, so over here Rafa is physical, this is tangible. And the word collide is
the plural of arida. off there. And what does it mean? carta is the foundation of something you may
have studied the Chi that when you were learning how to recite the Quran, where you're told this is
bad, this is
		

			evil. It's a primary book, which is the foundation of what learning to recite the Quran. So a wide
foundations anytime that a building is constructed, anytime that a structure is put up, what is the
first step? What is the first thing that has to be made, that has to be made properly? The
foundations, if the foundations are not there, then that entire structure is going to collapse. This
recently, I was driving by downtown and I saw a huge case that had been dug really deep. And I
believe they're constructing a new building over there. But it was so deep, I was amazed. So you can
see the torque structure, but under it is what a very strong, solid deep foundation. If the
		

			foundation is not there, then that's it. The structure cannot stand for very long. So Ibrahim has to
know when he was constructing the Cava, how did he begin that the foundations of the carpet that
were already there, he began lifting them up in the sense that he began constructing them higher and
higher and taller and taller. The House of Allah macabre was constructed the first time it has been
said that the angels were the ones who built it the first time the man is after the flood of new
Hennessy. Obviously the flood covered the entire Earth According to some scholars. So the Kaaba that
was also affected. The House of Allah was also affected. So Ibrahim s&m was commanded by Allah to
		

			reconstruct the garba. So the foundations were already there, but Ibrahim has him he strengthened
them and then he bought the kava on top of that, the very first place that Allah had designated
where the kava should have been. That is exactly where Ibrahima Sinha constructed the Kava. So what
if your fellow Ibrahim will cover either mineral bait elbaite bear Yetta the house of Allah meaning
the kava, hollows constructing the kava along with him. What is Marylou Who is this Marina is the
son of Ibrahim word is Sinha.
		

			When it's Merida The term was very young Ibrahim Hassan left him were in Makkah and Ibrahim Hassan
left and he came back several times. And when he came back once it's not either this one was still
young at that time. Allah subhanaw taala commanded the he should construct the cabin is my Learning
Center helped him in that. So both father and son, what were they building the house of Allah
		

			Ah, they weren't building their own house, a father and son, they're working, working hard physical
labor is involved. They're putting in so much effort. And they're building a house not for
themselves, but they're building a house a place so that people come and worship Allah over there.
Many people, all of their efforts are dedicated to what just making their own life. All of their
efforts are dedicated to making their own lives comfortable. We should have a house and we should
have this and we should have that but Ibrahim and is married or even with Salah their efforts were
different. They were dedicating their efforts to build the house of Allah. And look at how Allah
		

			subhanaw taala appreciated their effort so much. He accepted their deed that he mentioned it in the
Quran 1000s of years after they have passed away to be remembered for eternity. So Ibrahim and is
married both of them were constructing the Kaaba Ibrahim Elisa was mainly constructing in the
Sumerian was his helper. What were they saying that that time they were saying, rug burn out or our
Lord, the Cabal Mina you accept from us, or our Lord to obey the Kabbalists from calf Bella COBOL.
To accept you accept Mina from us except not from us. What we are doing this deed this effort of
ours accept this from us. Think about it, first of all their profits, not ordinary people. And then
		

			on top of that, what are they doing? They're not doing something to please themselves, but they're
doing something for the sake of Allah for the sake of his religion so that Allah maybe worship such
an honorable, such an obviously good deed, wasn't it? A good deed wasn't very obvious, there was a
good deed, but look at their concern. Look at their way, Oh Allah, you accept this from us. Because
no matter what deed a person does, if it is not accepted, it is useless. If Allah does not accept
it, then it will carry no weight at all. It will bring to a person no benefit neither in this world
nor in the hereafter. So look at their concern have been at Taco Bell Mina, oh our Lord, you accept
		

			this from us. And this only come from a person who truly worships Allah, who is truly humbled before
Allah. He doesn't think that no matter what he does, Allah should accept it. Because what he's doing
is good. No, he realizes that the decision is with Allah. It is up to him to accept or reject. And
what is it that causes deeds to be accepted, when they are done sincerely for the sake of Allah, and
when they're done in the best way possible? If we do a half half job, if we do something, not with
our hearts fully involved, were detached from it. And if we're doing something not to please Allah,
but just to seek the praise of people just to get the work done, will that deed be accepted? No.
		

			Allah subhanaw taala he is alive disease. And one of the meanings of diseases to the reserve, the
one who is very noble, very honorable, and the one who is very honorable, the one who has a very
high status, what does he like? cheap things, things that are done actions that are done half
heartedly? No. If you want Allah to accept something from you, it better be good. Not in its
appearance, necessarily only, but also in its quality. Because a deed may be very small, but if it's
done with absolute sincerity, Allah will accept it. But if a deed may be very big, but it's done for
other than the pleasure of Allah, then what will happen? It will not be accepted. I'm sure all of
		

			you are familiar to Hadith in which we learn that a man will be brought on the day of judgment and
Allah who will remind him of the different favorites that Allah had bestowed upon him. And Allah
will ask, What did you do, and he will say that, Oh Allah, I believed in your book, I read your
book, I memorize your book, I recited your book. This is just the gist of the Hadith. So Allah will
say that you did not do it for my sake, you're lying, you did it, so that he would be called a
calling, you will be called a reciter. So you will call the reciter. And now you have no reward
		

			at the deed is very big, but because it was not for the sake of Allah, Allah who will not accept it.
On the other hand, a deed may be very small. Once on the prophets of Allah Islam was leaving with
his companions for an expedition there were very short on the resources. And the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam encouraged all the people to bring whatever they could. And one of the companions, he worked
all night. All that he could bring was a handful of dates, a handful of dates, to work to support an
army that's going to fight the Romans. Imagine. He brought that handful of dates and the prophets of
Allah Islam took them and put them at the top of everything that had been piled up, because the deal
		

			was apparently very small. But because it was done with dedication with sincerity, Allah accepted
it. So we should not just worry about the quantity
		

			to tea, we should not be worried about just the appearance of the tea that he has. This is supposed
to be a good deed. But we should be worried about the state of our hearts, that how are we doing it,
because of the state is not good. The deed does not carry any value whatsoever. So look at the way
the concern of Ibrahim is married, there have been a couple men Mina, oh our Lord, you accept this
from us. Because if Allah does not accept it, then that entire D is useless, it's a waste, a waste
of effort.
		

			So, remember, whenever we are doing anything, whether it is praying salah, or it is reciting the
Quran, oyaide is giving charity or it is even memorizing the lesson, or it is coming on time to
class, taking this class seriously dedicatedly doing our work, it should be for the sake of whole
for the sake of Allah, because of Allah who will accept this from us, only then will this effort be
useful. And if Allah does not accept it, then our studying all of this is just a waste of energy, a
waste of time, it will not bring any benefit. So any good deed we do any good deed, seek through
that the pleasure of Allah worry about this too, oh Allah accept it, or have been at Taco Bell Mina,
		

			or our Lord, you accept this from us. Now that doesn't mean by Allah accepting a D. Accepting a deed
means that Allah accepted with happiness that Allah is happy with the action that the servant has
performed. In order to do something to please someone, how would you do it? For example, you are
bringing food? You are for example, hosting a dinner for your friends. Why? Because you will make
them happy. Okay, they've graduated, there were successful or whatever they would do you want to
make them happy. And you want to show them how much you care for them. You love them. So what will
you do? What kind of a dinner would you have? Sitting in your bedroom, ordering food from a
		

			restaurant? That what you will do? Sitting on the floor eating out of paper plates? Is that what you
will do? No, you will clean up your house, you will set up the entire dining table you will prepare
the food yourself and you will prepare the very best. Why? Because you want to make them happy.
That's your goal. So if we want to make a lot happy with our deeds, then how should we be performing
our deeds with excellence with their son. So one of the keys to the acceptance of deeds is what is
love sincerity. But the other very important factor is Ersan excellence that a person does what he
does in the best way possible in best way that He is able to do so. For example, if we are reciting
		

			the Quran, should we be reciting just for the purpose of completing the entire pitch or completing
the juice just hurriedly rushing, whether we're yawning or dozing off, or we're feeling sleepy, we
don't care we just keep reciting however, we are reciting No. Do it with excellence that Allah likes
it, he appreciates it because that will be the cause of acceptance. Many times it happens when a
person is doing something to please others. What will he do he will go out of his way to do
something in front of others that other people can also appreciate that when a person is doing
something for the sake of Allah that He will try to stay away from people do it in darkness do it in
		

			secret do it in private that people don't find out why. Because if people find out and shorten will
immediately start whispering in your head. See she's watching you. Yes, yes. You open the Quran in
front of her. Yeah, you can show that you are to recite the Quran. So she upon what does he do? He
spoiled our intention and as a result with that deed, and only if a person is doing something for
the sake of Allah, can he do it alone? when nobody's watching him? Tell me who's in the desert
watching Ibrahim and is smarter. you're constructing the carpet? Who was there? Nobody was there.
There were two people applauding them, congratulating them encouraging them clapping as they were
		

			struggling to construct the Kava. There was nobody to watch them. They were doing this for the sake
of Allah and it's enough that Allah is watching. This is why their concern was a little burned out a
couple minutes or our Lord, accept this from us. And when Allah is happy with the deed of a person,
then what will he do? He will definitely reward that person. Acceptance is what when Allah is happy
with the deal of the person and he also as a result rewards him for that.
		

			And they said in Mecca and personal and Arlene, indeed you are a Sameer, the one who he is and
Arlene, the one who knows. There are no people over here listening to us. There are no people over
here watching us. Only you hear us only you watch us. So because you hear and you watch, oh Allah
accept the state of ours. You hear what we say? You hear our thoughts and you know our state, our
effort, our dedication, so Allah you accept this from us. And remember that the name of Allah
subhanaw taala Sameer summer listening hearing is of two types one is
		

			of hearing the words and the second is of acceptance. So for here a severe that you hear what we
say, and you also accept. So Allah accept this from us and you are knowing knowing of our state.
		

			In this area, we learned many lessons. First of all, we learn about the great virtue of constructing
the kava, how do we learn about this? Allah is mentioning this incident to us and he's telling us
what is recall this remember this, don't forget this. So it shows how great of a deed it is to
construct the Kava. You might say, Okay, we can't do that it's already constructed and there are
people who are already taking care of it. There are some ways in which we can also participate, we
can also have a share in this reward. First of all, we can help out in the maintenance of the Haram
next time you go for Umrah or Hajj, look for those people who are actually collecting the funds to
		

			maintain the cargo to maintain the hull and hamdulillah now they have some offices where you can
actually go and give money. So next time you go make sure you give even a little bit of money,
whatever you can afford to do so. Because remember, when you are contributing in the maintenance of
the Haram imagine any person who comes there and worships Allah, yes, that reward goes to them, but
it also goes to you, because you enable them to do so in whatever way that you could. We can help in
the construction of other massages, other places of worship. Yes, the gargoyle 100 is taken care of.
It's already broke, people take care of it, but any other Masjid that is being built or that has to
		

			be maintained. We can also contribute so that we also get rewarded for the worship that is done over
there. Another important lesson that we learned from this verse is the highest status to deploy he
where it is and I'm in this marine Ernest, where do we learned that from? Audio people are not given
the opportunity to serve the deen of Allah in this way. If a person is given the opportunity to
serve the deen of Allah, then they are very lucky. They're very fortunate that Allah has blessed
them with a great blessing. So if someone has been given the chance to construct the Kaaba, in sha
Allah, this is a sign of what of how good they are in the sight of Allah Subhana Allah? Because
		

			Allah gives it the field to do good deeds to who, to those who are worthy. Think about it, if a
person has made the manager of a place, is it just any person? Any ordinary person? No, there must
be something about them in them, which is why they were given the opportunity to become the manager.
If somebody is given promotion at work, is it for no reason? No, it's because it is seen that they
are worthy of that. So if a person is given the opportunity to do something good than Insha Allah,
this is a sign of your high status in the sight of Allah. So if we have been given the opportunity
in any way to serve the deen of Allah, then we should take it as a blessing of Allah. This is not
		

			something to be proud about. This is not something to feel overwhelmed. Now be happy that Allah give
you this chance. There are so many other people out there to Allah did not give that chance to but
he gave that chance to you. For instance, if we have been asked in any way to help out to volunteer
at a masjid at an institute, Islamic organization in any way whatsoever, don't take it as another
burden. No, take it as a blessing. Because Allah does not give these opportunities to every person
that we alternate in this verse, but we should cooperate with one another in doing good things.
Ibrahim, Hassan was mainly constructing the Kaaba, who was helping him his son is smart eel. For
		

			example, if our parents are doing something good, should we not help them out over there? Should we
not cooperate with them? We should, yes, they could do it on their own. But if we put in our share,
will we not get the reward as well? Of course inshallah. Many times it happens that for example, our
mother is busy doing something, she wants to go volunteer a mustard, she wants to go help out
somewhere. And we just complain, they're so busy, my mother so busy, my father's become so busy,
they have no time for us, since she started taking this course. You know, that's it. I've said
goodbye to her. No, she's busy, help her out to that you also can contribute in that. And there are
		

			many times when we see that, for example, mother and daughter, they're doing the same thing, father
and son doing the same thing. And you know what, when families work together, this is also a means
of bonding between them. This is also a means of them coming close to one another. I have seen at
this institute, even how many times the mother is working, and the daughter is working or the mother
and the daughter in law are both volunteering together working together. And it's amazing to see
entire families involved. So we should cooperate with one another help one another in doing good
deeds. Ibrahim Atlas Marine, both of them were constructing the Kaaba. Then we also had this idea
		

			about the importance of the acceptance of good deeds, by mere Tulku because of our deeds, not accept
		

			tape then it was a waste of an effort, the perfect sort of autism So, little bus or even help the
woman so yummy. I'll do it with them. There's so many of those people who fast, but what do they get
out of there fast? Just hunger and thirst. They were fasting all day long. But they're fast was not
accepted. What did they get out of there fast, just hunger and thirst. And there's so many people
who pray began at night. But what do they get out of it? Just waking up at night. That's it staying
awake at night, that's all they get out of it. They earn no reward for the effort that they have put
in because their effort their deed was not accepted. So no matter what deed we are doing, be
		

			concerned about its acceptance. Because if it's not accepted, then that is very worrisome.
		

			Ibrahim on Islam is Marina restaurant, they prayed more they said have been out or I will not watch
your honor and make us dream and you make us mostly mainly like Muslim, I do a lot of Muslim, seeing
Lam mean Islam, to submit to fully surrender. So Allah make us those who submit lacquer to you make
us of those who are fully entirely submitted that we don't submit to our desires, but we submit to
you. So when your command comes, we accept that even if our desires come in the way even if two
people come in the way, give us the ability that we prefer you over everyone, what your anomalously
mainly luck, make us of those who submit to you.
		

			Why do you think Ibrahim is smarter? You are making Mr. Ah, we didn't already Muslims. Yes, they
were. They were believers they had submitted to Allah, which is why they were constructing the
colada survivor saying oh Allah make us those who submit to you which are under Muslim any luck?
Why? Even when a person is a Muslim? You say that, yes, we submit to Allah, I submit to Allah. But
it's quite possible that you learn about a particular command and you find it very difficult to do
it. And because of that, you don't follow it. Instead, you follow your own wishes. So are you a
Muslim man? No, you weren't Muslim? But did you continue to be Muslim? No. So when they're praying,
		

			what your anonymously may look, they are praying that Oh, Allah keep us firm on this way. Make us of
those who are constantly submitting to you, not when they fill out and when it's convenient, but all
the time, throughout our lives, what your unknown must remain in luck. And the fact is that no
person can say can claim that I will remain righteous until the end of my life. We don't know what
might happen in the future that might change the state of our hearts, though we see people who are
very good, very righteous, how they fall, there could be a person who is doing a very good deed, and
then all of a sudden they stop or all of a sudden they completely change. There are people for
		

			example, who have studied the Quran, but what happens when they go into company that is bad, that
affects them adversely. They don't even look like people who have ever even opened the Quran. So the
fact is that we cannot guarantee the security the safety of our iman, this happens only by the field
of Allah and this is the reason why they are praying which are anomalously Maynila. Meaning keep us
Muslim, don't let us deviate. Don't let us fall. Don't let us go astray. Even with regards to the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, Allah subhanaw taala says in total 74 Well, no, not answered, but NACA
and if we had not kept you firm, local to keep him che and kalila you would have inclined to them a
		

			little bit. And if you had inclined to them, if you had listened to him, then you would have been
punished very severely in this world and then the year after. So imagine the Prophet telemedicine
about him, Allah says if we had not made you firm, so this firmness, the stability in the religion,
this comes from who Allah alone, and this is the reason why they're saying what banana Would you
allow, mostly, mainly luck. And many times it happens that if a person performs a good deed, one big
good deed, then chiffon comes to him and says, Yeah, you're so good, Inshallah, you'll be fine. In
a, you've done so many good deeds in the past, you already do such and such. So don't worry, you
		

			will be fine. And that is where chiffon leads people astray. There are people, for instance, who are
very righteous were very pious, and then one day they see somebody very pious in their dreams,
apparently very pious, who says to them, you don't need to pray anymore. And they stop praying.
Because you're so high up there. You're so good. You're so righteous, you don't even need to pray
anymore. And then what happens? They go astray. They come into the trap of Shavon Shavon overpowers
them, so no person can guarantee that they will remain firm on the right path. This is why we need
		

			you continuously pray to Allah or anonymously mainly luck, even though we may be Muslim at the time.
One degree yeah Tina, and also from our children on my tongue a nation, Muslim atta luck, one that
has submitted to you. Well mentally yet in Azeri yet Tina, the Liga. The Liga is offspring children
descendants. So from our descendants whose descendants Ibrahim is married to Ibrahim or Islam Santos
is married to basically from the descendants of who Ismar elearning As Salam, O Martin, an entire
nation, an entire community and what is the characteristic of that community? Muslim atta, luck,
Muslim. This is a feminine half Muslim, who is Muslim, one who has submitted to Allah. So Allah make
		

			us of those who submit to you and from our offspring, make a nation who is also submitted to you.
All this nation referring to this nation is referring to the Omid of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. Because Allah accepted that there are Ibrahim and Ismar healed and found the descendants
is Merida lism, Kim Mohamed Salah Salem, those who follow him Hawai they, they are Muslim, those who
have submitted to Allah. And remember that submission to Allah is in two ways in the right head as
well as in the bathroom. Right. But on the other hand, a person has submitted to Allah. For example,
a person says he shows that he is a believer, a person proves by his actions that he is an obedient
		

			servant of Allah. So for example, when it comes to pray, he doesn't just stay sitting. But what does
he do he gets up and prays, when it comes time to give zakat. He doesn't just keep his wallet zipped
up. No, he does take the scarf out and give it so on the apparent he is submitted to Allah, that
Islam is not only raw here, it is also battling on the inside in the heart, for example, with
regards to the decree of Allah, the decisions of Allah with Allah besides for you in your life, what
happens What does not happen? What is the state of the heart? Is it submitting, accepting, or is it
rebelling complaining, being ungrateful, being upset, being angry? Similarly, not just that a person
		

			prays in front of people and in his heart, he is somewhere else no praying on the outward and also
on the inside? So the body and the heart of both involved make us Muslims and make our children
Muslims or arena monastic Anna ensures our rituals. Arena raw Hamza Yara Yunus to see and Aurora UD
is to make someone else see to show. So this is a command from a raw URI. And what does it mean to
show someone so Eddie, you show NAT to us. You make a see you show to us what monastic monastic is a
poll of months and is from the root that is known seen if you're sick from the same root nusach is
used for Ibadah worship act of worship, it's also used for sacrifice at your evil apart, we
		

			slaughter animals that is also most of all for example, when people go for heaven to slaughter
animals over there, what is that slaughter sacrifice? In the celerity we're no Sookie, indeed my
prayer and my sacrifice Misuk men suck. What is the singular of monastic is the place where an act
of worship where a ritual is performed, men suck all men sick both with a cuppa and also Obama. It
is first of all the place where a ritual is performed. And secondly, it is also used for the ritual
itself. It is also used for the ritual itself. So what are the two meanings, the place where a
ritual is performed? And secondly, the ritual itself, for example, tawaf, what is the half? It is an
		

			act of worship, and is the lack of found anywhere? No, it's performed at a particular place.
Similarly, the pm at our firm, is it done anywhere? It's only done where at Arafa and Rafa can just
lie down and sleep all day. If you're going for Hajj, you have to stand. If you can't stand all day
long, you have to stand for some time at least because otherwise the ritual is not fulfilled.
Similarly, running from your mouth, the throwing of the stones when you go for Hajj, is it going
anywhere. So for example, I can stand here and pretend this is the GMR and start throwing stones
here.
		

			It's an act of worship, and it's also supposed to be done at a particular place. So you understand
what monastic monastic of Hajj, the rituals of Hajj there are certain acts of worship that are
supposed to be performed at certain places and also at certain times, so Ibrahima is service Marina
this from their prayers or Allah Nastika and shows
		

			our ways of worship shows our rituals. Show us the places show us how to worship you. In other
words, we don't know how to worship you. You teach us the way you teach us how to what arena
monastic arena and notice the word arena. The word limit has not been used but arena. What is alumna
you teach us that arena show us make a see what's the difference? Arena is when something is made
clear to such an extent that it is as though a person can see it he can visualize it. When something
has been clarified, it has been explained in so much detail that it is as though you can visualize
it in your own head in your own mind. It is as though you can see it before your own eyes. And it
		

			also means that point out shows exactly where so Allah subhanaw taala taught them exactly where and
how to worship Allah what arena Manasi Cana, whatever Elena and also turn to us, meaning accept our
repentance to the Elena there. Well there Toba? What does Tober mean? Repentance. Remember that one
is the Toba of the servant. And the other is a Toba Allah subhanaw
		

			taala that literally means to turn. So Tabo of Allah is first of all, when Allah gives the trophy to
a servant to repent. When Allah gives the ability to a servant to repent to Allah, sundry people,
they do wrong things, but do they feel any guilt in their heart? Did they feel sorry in their heart?
Do they actually turn to Allah seeking His forgiveness? No. Everybody doesn't do that. There are
only some people who were given this ability because ALLAH given that ability, Allah turned to them
in mercy. Second comes over the servant that he turns to Allah seeking His forgiveness. And then
comes the Toba of Allah again, that Allah accepts the Toba of the servant. So you understand how it
		

			goes? First of all, Allah does Toba to the servant, that Allah gives the ability to the servant to
repent. Then what happens? The servant, repent to Allah, and then Allah accept the repentance. So
Toba for Allah twice, and for the servant once. This is why Allah is called the web. So whatever
Elena accept our repentance gives us the field to repent. And when can a person have that when he
realizes his mistakes, because many times we do wrong things, but we don't even realize we don't
even realize our mistakes. So make us realize our sins make us realize our shortcomings. Don't make
us of those people who pretend that nothing wrong is being done, or who don't listen to the guilt of
		

			their heart, who don't realize their faults who keep covering them up, pretending that they don't
exist. No, make us realize our faults so that we can repent to you. And then when we do repent
teeth, and oh Allah accept our repentance, whatever, Elena in Nica under the web over him, indeed
you, you alone, Dr. Webb was
		

			the greatest acceptor of repentance, the One Who accepts repentance again and again. And over him,
the one who was merciful, who shows mercy who forgives, wipes off the scene, as if it never existed,
removes its consequences completely so that a person is safe and secure. He is clean. There's a
hadith in which we learned that a tie if none of them come Allah them by law, that the one who
repents from a sin is like the one who've never committed any sin. This is how Allah completely
washes away the sin. So he's at the web, and he's also
		

			what do you see in this ayah Riblah. Here in a smile, both of them, they're constructing the Kaaba,
and as they're constructing, they're also making dua, they're also praying to Allah, as if they're
talking to Allah.
		

			And whenever a person is doing something for the sake of Allah, his heart must be involved in it.
Because if the heart is not involved, if the Spirit is not there, then that effort is going to be
dry. It's not going to bring any enjoyment, any satisfaction to the person. In fact, by the end he
is going to be just tired and exhausted. This is just like some people when they're doing their work
that would very passionately and other people. They're just doing their work to get it over with.
You may see a woman for example, she's cooking and she's enjoying, you know, smelling the fragrance,
and she's enjoying the color, the texture, the taste, and the other people were just rushing it
		

			quickly, quickly. Don't care about how the onions are being chopped. I don't care about what it
looks like. I don't care what it tastes like, just get it over with. Is there a difference in the
result? Huge difference, the one who's passionately involved, you can see that effect in the food
and the one who is just getting it over with. You can see it in the food as well.
		

			Whenever I make two patties and I end up burning one or two, my father says Were you upset? Are you
angry?
		

			Because I can see the anger and hatred parties in your bed that you made. So your feelings really
affect the work that you're doing. If your heart is fully involved you're doing the passionately the
work will be beautiful. And if your art is not involved at all, it will be dry. It will have no
flavor, no beauty in it. So Ibrahim is married when they're constructing the Kaaba. Look at how
passionately involved they are. They're constantly making dua to Allah, Oh Allah accept this, or
will make us Muslims, or Allah don't make this the last deed keep us Muslims that we keep performing
good deeds, one after the other, keep us firm on this way. And make us like this and make our
		

			children like this and accept our repentance Have mercy on us, Dr. Oz how involved they are helping
out your unknown Muslim, any luck woman that we get in our own little Muslim arena. And our second
purpose is to our arena when we're constructing the Kaaba, why? So that people can worship Allah.
But how can people worship Allah if they don't know how to worship Allah? So this is why they prayed
that Allah also show us how to worship. Show us teach us how we're supposed to please you. What did
we learn in this verse? We learned first of all, about how needy people are before Allah. Look at
Ibrahim and the smarty. They're doing something so good, but constantly What are they saying?
		

			Banana, banana, banana, or our Lord or our Lord who says this, someone who was very small, needy
before the other. So the human being mankind is always always needy before Allah, no matter what
great things we accomplish, no matter what great deeds we do, we are still needy before Allah. And
this is why we see that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam when he conquered Makkah, as he was entering
Makkah, hydrati, enter, he was sitting in a posture on his animal, His beard was almost touching the
hump of the camera. So no, so humble, so humble. So no matter what we achieve, we must realize that
we are still needy before Allah. Can we also learn in this verse that people are dependent on Allah,
		

			for what? For? firmness, in religion, for steadfastness in religion, staying firm in doing good
things? Because what happens is that when you're doing something good difficulties always come in
the way you may have seen it yourself. When you started the weekend course perhaps it seemed very
easy, very enjoyable. Yeah, we get everything done. But then after a few months, you're like, This
is getting a little difficult. I have to wake up every day, seven days a week early in the morning,
I have to leave the house every day, seven days a week, difficulties do come, no matter what you are
doing difficulties will come. So what do we need over there? The help of Allah in staying firm?
		

			Because if we depend on ourselves, if we depend on other people to help us keep firm, we cannot stay
firm. Because one day what will happen? We will feel weak. One day people will discourage us. There
were people who are very supportive. Yes, Inshallah, we'll do this. Yes, you should go and you
should study. But then one day, they say are you sure you want to continue? So if we depend on
ourselves, if we depend on people, then we cannot stay firm? Whose help do we need? Allah? And this
is why the humanists made prayed to Allah, Muslim Maynila, keepers constantly submissive to you.
		

			Then we also learn in this verse about the importance of effortless the importance of sincerity,
because notice others saying Muslim Nene laka Do you alone? Lorenza RIA Tina or Martin Muslim Mata
laka because if there is no Islam, if there is no sincerity, then deeds are not accepted.
		

			Then we also learn in this verse that when a person is praying to Allah for something good, he
should also remember his children, his offspring, his future generations, because they're making
their own will make us Muslim, but they're also saying that oh Allah make our the LEA Muslim, our
children Muslim. Then we ultimately this verse, that acts of worship, the ways of worshipping Allah,
whether it is hard or it is a cow or the Salah, or it is fasting, any act of worship, this has been
taught by whom? Allah subhanaw taala acts of worship cannot be invented by people. They cannot be
made up by people. They are fixed and they are taught by Allah. Because notice Ibrahim Edison, he
		

			said, What arena and se Can you teach us how to worship you? Not that Ibrahim or Islam invented
himself, okay, people should come for Hajj and yes, we should go around the Kaaba seven times. And
yes, we should go to Milan. Yes, we should go to other fun yes.
		

			We should do this. No, he didn't make it up himself. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam did not make this
up himself, who taught this way of worship? Allah subhanaw taala. So when it comes to worship, when
it comes to rituals, remember this rule, we are not allowed to worship Allah in any way, except what
he has taught us, except what he has specified. So we cannot invent ways of worship. What to do
Elena in the web over here. This verse also shows to us the importance of the hooba that every
person should do, Toba. Every person. Ibrahim is married earlier he was Santa whether or not to
righteous, pious people always sacrificing for the sake of Allah. Yes. But still, they're the ones
		

			who are repenting to Allah. Because human beings are weak. And we never know. I'm intentionally not
even realizing we might do something to earn the anger of Allah. It's quite possible because we're
human beings. Everyone a sinner when he ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree. Did he do it with
the intention disobeying Allah? They asked, I should make Allah upset with me. Never. He forgot. He
didn't realize. So we are human beings and no matter how righteous we may think we have become, no
matter how knowledgeable we think we have become. After all, we are human beings and we are prone to
making mistakes. So this is why constantly do Toba. This also shows to us that in the current
		

			AutoWeb or hinder only Allah is the One who can forgive sins. Only Allah is the One Who accepts
repentance. So when a person does something wrong, we should return to Allah seeking His forgiveness
and mercy
