Allah says in indeed Allah, Allah is thorough. He has purchased many, many in from the believers.
Allah has purchased from the believers, if not all is from their letters Chien raw. Yeah. From the word is Shira and istilah is to buy something. Remember about the moon African. At the beginning of the Quran, we learned will ICA leadin a store or walk Bala lotta there are the ones who have purchased misguidance they have taken misguidance in exchange for what Bill Houda guidance they gave Hoda and what did they take? misguidance the munafo Clean. So we see the issue the law is about what taking something and giving something in return for it. So for example, you go to a store and you take a book, but then you give $10 That is what what is that issue?
Right? It's a transaction.
And remember that a transaction doesn't always have to be of something, you know, tangible. It can also be something intangible. So for example, you say to someone, you do this for me, and I'll do that for you.
You cook for me, and I'll clean for you. Deal. What is that? It's a deal. It's a promise. Right? So in the law hushed Allah. Allah has purchased he has taken something from the believers. And if he's taking something from the believers, it's understood that he's giving something in return. Okay, the question is, what is it that Allah subhanaw taala has taken from the believers and foster home? They're unfocused were unwell at home and they're unwell. And first plural of naps, what is naps? soul, self life? And unwell plural of Mal? What is Mal? What is mal property? And that includes your clothes and your pens and your food and your house and your money? Right? Whatever it may be, um,
well, so Allah has taken two things from the believers, their lives and their properties. Tell me something. What do you have in your life? What have you got? It's these two things, right? It's your soul, your life, yourself, your body, your time. And secondly, it's the things that you've got. What do we learn over here? Allah has taken both from the believers. So everything that the believers have basically, who's taken it from them? Allah subhanaw taala. Okay, and what's in it for them? What is he giving them in return? Be unknown, because indeed, le home for them agenda?
Because Allah promises them Jana in return.
So the price of Jana is what? Hope?
Yeah.
What do you have to give to get Jana hope?
Just hope I really, really, really, really want to go to gym. I really, really hope that God will, you know, send me to paradise. Hope. Is that sufficient? No.
Do you ever stand in front of a university and say, I really, really, really, really, really wish that I could become a doctor one day?
What are you told, step in, please go inside, register, take your tests, study, pass your exams. And then hopefully one day, you'll become a doctor. You become a doctor by just wishing. Okay?
How many of you want a house?
Or like a place of your own? And I'm not just talking about people who are married even singles.
But I wish this space was mine. I mean, my mother didn't have any control over it. My father didn't have any control over it. My brother didn't have any control over it. Just mine. How many of you wish that
okay? So to materialize this wish? What do you need to do?
What do you tell yourself? Can I get a job? So that I can pay rent myself? I can move out. Yeah. What comes to your mind? First thing? I need a job so that I can make money. I'm not saying please do that. I'm just talking about how people typically think how teenagers think how young adults think. Right? Do you think like that? Sometimes when we're talking about strange weird people who are non existent? It happens right? These thoughts do come to your mind you
Find out or somebody rented out an apartment, and they're only paying this much, but you're like, you know what, I could do that too. And I'll have all the freedom that I want. But what hits you, I don't have money, right? I don't have money. So I need a source of income, I need to get a job, okay, you got a job, and you get your paycheck. Those of you who are living independently, when you get your money, what happens with that money? What happens? You have to go either all of it, or 50% of it, or 80% of it, or 25? Whatever it is, you have to give it in order to make someplace, yours.
Isn't that so? Think about it, how much money is it that people spend on their houses? Whether it's a house that they bought, or a house that they're paying mortgage on? Or a house that they're paying rent on? Whatever the case is? Do you have to give money in order to live in a place?
You have to give money, right? How much of your money?
A big chunk of it a big, big chunk of it. I mean, there are women who have actually sold their gold jewelry that they got on their wedding. Why? Just so that together, them and their husband can buy a house so that we have a place to live in? And where's this house? In this world on a street, right, that collects snow in winter. And in the summer? It's surrounded by weeds, right? But just to afford that house, how much of our time and money is going? If you think about it, people work why? So that they can make money. Why? So that they can pay rent, right?
They are working? How many hours a day, eight hours, 10 hours, sometimes double shifts, right? Sometimes even on the weekends, seven days a week, five days a week, six days a week, either full time or part time, whatever it is why? So that you can have a house, you can have a place to live in that how do we think that it will go on the Day of Judgment with nothing? And we'll say yeah, Allah, please, can we go to Jana,
you have to show something.
You have to give something, you have to earn it. You're not going to get a house for free, you're not going to get a car for free. You're not going to get an education for free. You have to spend your time your money, your life your sweat your blood into it, isn't it
you have to put your everything into whatever you want in life, if this world which is dunya which is much lesser compared to the ACO, if that demands so much from us, we think Accra will come for free. You have to pay the price for it. And what's the price? What does Allah tell us over here in Allah Hush, Tara, middle macmini And for so long. I'm while at home be Anna lagenda. So if we want Jana, we have to give two things. What is it that we have to give
my life and my money?
Ask a question from the audience. They're like who want to go to Jana. So everybody raised their hand. Then after that he asked who want to die? Nobody raised their hand. Then he said like your eyes are on the price means you want to go to Jana but you have to pay the price here in this world.
anything in life if you want to get it you have to pay the price for it. Right so the price for Jana is what that Allah has purchased from the believers and for someone who am while at home be unallowable Jana so what does it mean then? That had believers life and the believers money they belong to who? Allah soprano. Have you ever sold anything?
Yeah, like what?
anybody, any experience selling anything?
Gamestation Okay, your week. What happened? How did you go about it?
Okay, so you put an ad up on Kijiji, then what happened?
Okay, so somebody called you then what happened?
Set up a time to meet then what happened? Take it there. You take it there and they check the examine. Okay. Yeah, this is a picture that you posted. And yes, it's got everything. Yeah, it works. Okay. Then what happens? They bite off of you how they give you the money and they take your we,
once they've taken your week and you say, Hey, can I play with it?
Can I use it? But I remember the day I bought it. You can't just take it away from me like that. What is he going to say?
I gave you money.
Now it's mine. No way. And if you say, but I am the one who purchased at first I went to the store and I picked it up, my dad got it for me. And you say, You know what? I'm going to take it from you. So they give you the money. And yet you say, I'm too attached to this week. Never am I going to let go of it. What are they going to say? They're going to call the cops on you.
Right? It's not your property anymore. You cannot treat it like your own property. It's like somebody's selling their house. And they come back to check up on it, and they look through the windows.
And then they go into the backyard to climb over. And they're like, Excuse me, you're trespassing. But I know this house was mine. Once upon a time.
I remember buying this place even before it was bought, I booked it. And I owned it for 25 years, and I just sold it to you, you know, two months ago? How can you treat me like this? What's the new one are gonna say? This house is mine. It's my property. You sold it to me. So you can't just walk in? Right? So what can we learn from here? Allah owns our life, and our money, it belongs to him. So what does it mean then? We cannot do with our lives, whatever we want to do. We cannot do with our money, whatever we want to do. We always have to keep in mind what Allah subhanaw taala wants us to do.
And whenever Allah wants from us to do something with our lives, to do something with our money, can we hold back? Can we say it's my life? Can you say that? Can you say it's my money? Can we say that to Allah? subhanaw taala? Can we say that to the cause of Allah? No. This money that we have is whose it actually belongs to who? The King, the Lord of the Worlds, right? This life this time belongs to who? Who gave it to us, Allah subhanaw taala we've given it to him why so that we can have Jana in the hereafter.
So who's the boss then we are someone else. Someone else? Who decides what we do with our money, what we do with our time what we do with our life, who decides? Allah subhanaw taala we have to follow his commands. Now. If we want Jana
because you might say, well, the money's still with me. Right? I still have control over my life. Okay, but you know what? It belongs to Allah.
And this is the test that we're in.
Right? That it belongs to Allah Now we have to keep in mind what Allah wants from us. So in Allah hashtag Amina Medina and foster home we're aware Allah home vn Milan, will Jana. Now if you think about it, there are so many things that we spend our money into anyway. Right? And we spend our lives in anyway. What do we get in return? Sometimes a house, sometimes a certificate, right? Sometimes the approval of people, whatever it may be.
We spend our time we spend our money into getting many things. But what are those things compared to Jana? What are they? Nothing at all? Nothing at all. Think about it, a certificate that you got, you got it framed, you put it up on your wall. Alright. And it's hanging over there for many years, you think it's gonna forever? Hang there. You think it's gonna forever? Hang there? What's gonna happen one day, somebody's gonna come and take it off. Even if it's 25 years later, somebody's gonna eventually take it off. Maybe somebody will keep it for like 1020 30 years, but then what will they say? It's useless. You're lying in your grave, and your certificate is being thrown away? Does it
matter? Does it matter? It doesn't. So is it really worth it? If we spend our time and our money into pursuing the things of this world? Is it really worth it? If you spend all of your earnings and your savings into just buying a house so that you can live a comfortable life and you've forgotten about halal and haram and you've forgotten about salah and tea and everything is forgotten. The entire focus is the house. What good is that house? How long is it going to stand? How long is it going to be a source of comfort for you?
There is a book fickle Kullu in which the author writes men a hyperbola. Any savvy woman had delayed Allah He wrote the baby
Whoever loves Allah will enjoy close friendship with Allah. And whoever loves other than Allah will be punished through it will be tortured and tormented through it through what, what we love other than Allah. And think about it, a house that was a source of pride one day is a source of torture for a person when they're standing and all the dirt and the mess and the dirty dishes are just staring at you. And your hand is hurting and your back is aching. And you've got too many other important things to do. And you don't want to clean this house that you Once purchased with all your heart with the lobby he he's going to be tortured through it.
So in terms of like certificates and stuff that you're mentioning,
a lot of times in this world, what happens is it like we get a degree, for example, will have a big plaque on our wall. We'll have to replace that because everything in this world like even education is moving forward. Every few years a doctor has to retake tests, you know, to confirm his degree, every few years any IT expert is going to have to take new certifications, new courses, to learn the new technology that's coming out every few months.
It's gonna get outdated. It's gonna torture you after a couple of years, it's gonna bother you. Right? So in the luxstone, Amina Medina and foster home while I'm while at home be Anila homeowner Jana, Allah offers us a much, much better deal. Much better deal. Give your life give your money to Allah, spend your life the way Allah subhanaw taala wants you to spend your money the way Allah subhanaw taala wants you to in a way that will bring you closer to him in a way that will bring you his approval. And what will you get in return, just happiness and peace in this life? No comfort in the grave? These on the day of judgment and eternal happiness in Jannah. Is there any other deal
that is like this, any other deal? Not at all, you won't find anything like it.
So once their lives belong to Allah, Allah says you call T Luna visa vie the law.
They even go to the extent of what detail V subete Allah fighting in the way of Allah and Katana is what basically putting your life at risk. Remember that when the Sahaba went for the book, they weren't just going to another country to see oh, what's out there? No, they were going, risking their lives with a very high probability that if they end up fighting with the Romans, they're not going to come back alive because they knew what happened in the last encounter with the Romans. They were putting their lives at risk in danger.
You caught eluna fee subete Allah for yopu to Luna, so they kill, meaning they end up killing the enemy. When you put alone and they get killed. They even get killed. They lose their lives in the way of Allah word and ILA you held on a promise on Allah Haqqani in truth, meaning this is a promise that Allah has made with the believers, what promise that if they give their lives in the way of Allah, if they live in the way of Allah for the cause of Allah, in obedience to Allah, then what will happen? He will definitely grant them Jana. And this promise Allah made with the believers, not just the believers who are of Ahmed Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, but even the woman that came before?
Why didn't I lay here? How can this word This promise is also mentioned? Where was also made with who? With the previous nations? So it's mentioned FITARA in the Torah, well, Injeel and the Injeel Well, Quran and the Quran, because the previous nations also the followers of the prophets, they were also obligated to defend themselves when it came to the matter of religion. So if somebody waged war against them, they had to stand up there to risk their lives. They were not allowed to leave their religion, just so that their lives could be spared. They had to live their religion because their lives belong to Allah subhanaw taala. Now they can't say I decide what I want to do.
No, it's about what Allah has commanded you. And if somebody raises their weapon against you, because of your choice of religion, then yes, you're putting your life in danger. But this life belongs to Allah anyway. So we learn that from here that you hold and then Asara, even they were obligated to do jihad, woman Alpha via the human Allah and who is more true in his promise than Allah O fires from wildfire warfare is to fulfilled in other words, who would fulfill their promise better than Allah?
If you think about it,
Many people make promises. We're making promises all the time, right? But what happens? Many times we're not able to fulfill promise why? There are two reasons behind not fulfilling a promise. One is Leanna.
treachery. deceit. So you basically break the promise deliberately. Do people do that?
All the time. Another reason is weakness. You have the intention of fulfilling the promise, but what happened? You weren't able to. You weren't able to. You had the intention to give the money to somebody but what happened? You have no money. You lost everything. Somebody stole your wallet, you lost it. So you're weak in fulfilling your promise, and as a result, you're not able to fulfill the promise. Allah says over here, woman ova via demon Allah, who can fulfill their promise better than Allah. No one because Allah does not cheat. Not at all. Allah is above this deficiency and weakness. And secondly, Allah is all powerful and all able to fulfill his promise. What happens in this world,
you make a deal with somebody? And they say, okay, you'll have this product delivered to you by this date. And on that date, you're waiting, okay, so where is it you call them out? They're like, Oh, you know what happened? Your whatever thing you purchased was being delivered to you but in the process of got damaged. So this happened, that happened are too weak to fulfill their promise, isn't it? No matter how big shot there are, no matter how much money they've got, they're weak, they're not able to fulfill their promises. But if Allah makes a promise with someone, you will live your life how I want you to, and in return, you're getting Jana, using Allah would never break his
promise. Never. So what's the fear? If you're ever making a deal with somebody? What's the fear? Why are you hesitant? What if they don't give me my money? What if they don't show up? What if they don't do their part of the transaction? And here I'm going to be suffering. Right? So that makes you hesitant, you don't want to conclude that deal. Right? But what do we learn over here? You make this promise with Allah you give up your life and your wealth for the sake of Allah and what will happen Allah will definitely give Jenna first step zero so rejoice be happy be binary, come with your transaction. Allah the witch by Yara Twinbee. You have transacted with Him, be happy with this
transaction that you've just made with Allah subhanaw taala. With that Ico Well, for those that are lame, and that is a great achievement. Have you ever gone somewhere and signed papers or anything? What happens once you've signed the papers are like, yay.
Yay, I'm getting it. Right? I'm finally gonna get this thing.
You're still happy. Allah says be happy now. Allah will give you an agenda if you give your life and your money to him. Now, what does this? I mean? Does this mean that a person must go and does wage war against us any random person and just make sure that they say Allahu Akbar, they, you know, blow a bomb or something and they die and they say in the way of God? Yeah. Is this what this is telling us? This idea is basically telling us about what your life and your money belongs to Allah. So you're on call. Okay. So whenever the Dean demands anything from your time, anything from your money, you don't stay back, you come forward. Because you see the expedition of taboo, what did that
mean? Everybody had to go nobody was allowed to stay back. So many times it happens that we are busy in our studies, we're busy with our family. But Allah subhanaw taala calls us
the deen of Allah needs us we need to do something for the religion of Allah subhanaw taala in obedience to Allah subhanaw taala so at that time, should we say but what about my money? And what about my family? And what about my time and what about my rest? And what about my comfort? No, your life belongs to Allah there is no my anymore cross that out. Completely, there is no my anymore. Your morning and your night, your full time servant of God. Full time. That means 24/7 365 not 10 to 12 or 10 to one on weekends when we sit in a class and read Quran. That's not the only time
even outside of that class even when we're walking outside, alright, even when we are studying. So that means anytime Allah subhanaw taala wants us to do something, whether it is Salah, or it is fasting
or it is a recitation of the Quran, we don't say. But this first and then I'll think about it doesn't matter whether the days are long in summer, if it's the month of Ramadan, you have to fast because your life belongs to Allah. All right? Doesn't matter if you finally manage to save $10,000 Now you have to go for 100. Because it's fun on you to bet your life your money belongs to Allah. Alright? You see, there are many things that we do in this life in which we give up really everything. So for example, you managed to save up $5,000 Over the past year, your parents or whoever, and now they have to give taxes and you find out everything's gone.
All those five other loaders that you managed to save, they're gone in taxes. What do you say at that time?
Forget this country, man. Going back home. Yeah. Like, no, no, no, no, it's okay. If we have to give taxes because we've accepted the work Canadians is a system of life over here. You get benefits in return, right? If you pay taxes. So we've accepted it no matter how difficult it is, isn't it? If we are going to school, we've accepted the fact that we are going five days a week. All right, we're going to university we've accepted the fact that at a certain time of the year, there will be a reading week, there will be a time when we will have midterms, right? And there might be a year or two, when we will have to take summer programs also, right? We've accepted it.
If a person wants to become a doctor, he's accepted the fact that he's going to be on night shifts on very, very long shifts. They've accepted it, because they want something at the end. So a believer for him religion is not a section of his life, that he only you know, is connected with when he goes to the masjid. No, no, no.
It's his life. It's what his life is about religion dictates her life. The religion is her life, that is her life, that is who she is. That is what she is defined by. That is what dictates everything, whether it is buying a house or selling something, living somewhere, studying something, you know, working somewhere, everything comes under what what Allah subhanaw taala has allowed me to do or has not allowed me to do.
So this is what this means. And every believer, every person who says La Ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasul, Allah has made this bargain with Allah. And now it's up to us. How much is it that we fulfill this? Right? Because depending on how much we fulfill it, I mean, that's what we're gonna get at the end. Right? So for example, if you're supposed to complete 20 hours for a particular course, then if you do five then what are you gonna get at the end?
Nothing. All right. And if you do the 20 Then what are you gonna get? You're gonna get your course credit. Right? Jana is massive. It is huge. And you can take from Jana, how much ever you want. But that is based on what
based on what how much you strive, because your want is dependent on what how much you do, how much you strive to get Jana. So if a person says, Okay, I will only memorize three Surah of the Quran.
So okay, on the Day of Judgment, the person will be told Accra or turkey, when he's done reciting the three sodas, that's where he will be in done.
But if a person says, You know what, I know a lot of things. I know all those weird, strange formulas, and I know the names of all these people, and I know what team they play in and what movie they start in, right, the place they come from. So they say, You know what, I also have the capacity to learn maybe five more sutras. Yeah, do we have that capacity? Come on, if we know the names of the most strangest things, can we not learn another five sutras we can write. So it depends on how far we want to go.
The more we strive, the more effort we put in, the farther we go, the more reward Allah has to offer. But you want to be someone who, who should want to take it. Allah has Allah to give his little frog lil alim, it's up to us how much of his bottle we want, how much is it that we strive for? So now that a person has made this deal with Allah, he asked to do certain things. Alright. When a person is living his life truly, for the sake of Allah, in the way of Allah, using his money, from earning it to spending it the way Allah wants him, then what will happen? He will be doing certain things. What are those characteristics? Allah says, first of all, the Eboo Allah
I'll be doing I'll have me doing a set A can a rock here on a Saturday doing um your own Bill Maher roof one now Hoonah annual Mancha. Well have you Luna Lee, who do they love? What was she did I mean? These are the qualities of the believers for whom is Janna first of all, a tablespoon a day one Florida of that and who is that?
Who is that? The one who does Toba the one who repents. Now, you know this could also have been said as a Latina, YouTube una those who do Toba but when Toba has been mentioned as their a boon, those who do Tonga, the people who do Toba what does it mean? They don't do Toba once, and they say okay, I've done Toba, one sided Toba like five years ago, so I should be clean. Till today. No attire even means that they're doing Toba constantly again and again and again and again doing Toba?
Tell me something who needs to do Toba?
Which person needs to Toba?
Okay, all of us. Yeah. But if someone is doing Toba, what does that mean? What have they done? Something wrong?
Isn't this amazing?
People who go to Jannah are not perfect human beings who never commit any sin who never make mistakes. No. They make mistakes again, and again and again. So they need to do it over again and again. And again. They fall and they get up they slip and they stand up, they trip. And they get up again. And again and again and again at Eboo. Always always doing Toba because they're not perfect human beings.
And this is true. Every person who is in the way of Allah, He will definitely make mistakes. We see that companions who were very strong in their faith. What happened at the occasion of the book.
There were people like
a Buddha Baba Abdullah and who procrastinated said, Okay, we'll go. Yeah, we'll go tomorrow. We'll go tomorrow. And then what happened? They missed the chance completely.
There were people like Carbaryl de la Horne, who story we will learn in detail. There were people who had participated in better imagine, but
they were people who were with the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. everywhere all the time. But what happened at the book, there were human beings, some of them made a mistake. They delayed going until they lost their chance completely.
But what did they do?
Did their sin define them? No. They overcame that. How am I doing Toba? By saying sorry to Allah subhanaw taala. But even those who are always going back to Allah, always turning back. And remember, every time you commit a sin, and you do Toba, remember, you will commit a sin again. You will because you're a human being.
We will definitely, but what is it that we need to do every time we fall? seek forgiveness. Every time we commit a sin God back to Allah. Isn't this basically what the surah is teaching us? sudo to Toba is what an invitation to repentance. No matter who you are, no matter what you've done.
And you might say, Yeah, but Jana is not. You know, for people like me who are sinful. You know what, Jana is for people, and people make mistakes, and which people will make it to Jannah those who make mistakes and who do Toba, that evil attack Yvonne.
And this shows to us, Allah subhanaw taala does not demand perfection from us that we become angels. We become completely perfect in every way. So we're always always smiling to our parents and we never say you know any disrespectful word. We're human beings. There will always be times when we will fall. But what is necessary? Go back apologize Toba. Utter a boon Allah be doin those who do ribeye
when someone has given their life to Allah, that they will do arriba they will worship Allah, Allah, the dune and hammy Dawn who are happy doing those who do
hand what is high praise. So they're praising Gu Allah subhanaw taala those who are saying Alhamdulillah Allah Subhana Allah he will be home
The those who do hand when do the praise Allah? What does how many don't show the praise Allah all the time when things are good and when things are tough Alhamdulillah and also Alhamdulillah Allah Kohli had right Alhamdulillah on receiving a blessing Alhamdulillah on going through some tests through some difficulty Alhamdulillah when people praise you Alhamdulillah when you realize you have failed, no matter what happens, the credit goes to Allah subhanaw taala praising him, thanking him remembering him, joy and gratitude to him. There's such a beautiful story that we learn in Sahih Bukhari about Abu Bakr Al Dila Mourinho once the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had to go and visit this
tribe in order to resolve a dispute that they had. So he was gone. And when he was gone, the people in Medina, the time for prayer entered, and they didn't know if the prophets of Allah was gonna come right away, if he was gonna come the next day, or if he was gonna come in a couple of hours at the time of prayer came in now, so I had to be performed. So the more often he went to Abu Bakr a little lower and when he said, Would you lead the prayer? Because the prophets of Allah Islam was not here. And who said yes, I will. So what happened? So that started Oh bucket a little over and who is leading, and who comes in the prophets of Allah.
So what happened as the prophets of Allah Islam came, he's going through the masjid, he reaches the first drill people to start clapping. Why in order to alert Abu Bakar that you know the prophets of Allah Islam is here so you better step back. A book of Allah Warren who was someone who when he was praying saw that he would not look here and there can Allah yell defeat of the Salah. He would not do LT fight in Salah. So people are clapping, there's noise. And he's not looking away until the people were like, making a lot of noise. So finally, oh book a little known Warren who got distracted. And he looked back and he saw the profits of a lot. He saw the profits immediately
starting to step back. And the profits are a lot of Salem, he indicated towards him gesture towards them that stay where you are, continue as a man, okay, I'll join the Jamara
aboubaker line who raised up his hands and said Alhamdulillah he praised Allah. And he insisted and he went back until he joined the row and the prophets of Allah Islam came forward and he led the people in prayer. After the Salah, the prophets of Allah Islam asked Abubaker what happened when I told you to carry on? Why didn't you listen to me? Abubakar said it does not be fit the son of Yokohama to stand before the Prophet Salawat.
It does not be Phipps, the son of Abu Kochava to stand and lead the prayer on the prophets have a lot of understanding behind him.
What do we see over here? A bucket of Pluto? I know if he's been told by the prophets of a lot of them you carry on as Imam Can you imagine what honor the prophets of Allah is giving him? What immense honor he's giving him you'll be mad. I'm following you. Can you imagine?
And what was the responsible Bucha? For how many the law he just glorified Allah. Perfect. Are you alive? Nothing, I don't deserve this. I don't deserve this. And hammering on those who glorify and praise Allah all the time. Put yourself in that situation. If somebody says to us carrying on, you will be the Imam would be like, I deserve it.
I am the best and I will buckle down or no. I am the son of a vehicle halfa it doesn't refer to me Hamid Allah. He remembered the greatness of Allah and His messenger. And he stepped back He glorified Allah al Hamadan. In a hadith we learn that the most superior servants on the Day of Judgment will be a hammer Dune, those who do a lot of hand of Allah's Pantha the most superior servants on the Day of Judgment. Those who will be given the highest honor will be who those who
honor Allah today, those who praise Allah today those who glorify Him, and hammy Dune, those who do hand a say home those who travel Florida upset who is from Sierra Hasina her car has basically to travel. So Assa T home those who travel,
having a lot of fun in their life. Yeah.
Think about the travels of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and his companions.
By the way, travel is it fun? I mean, generally it is. I mean these days if you think about it, people travel for what? Leisure for vacation to have a good time.
All right, you save up. And whenever you've got enough money, you go and travel, so that you can relax. You can have fun. But travel is fun only when it's for the purpose of fun. Right? When it's for work, is it fun?
Is it fun? No, it's not. It's not fun. You know why? Because you're in a different place. You took a long flight. Now you finally get to your destination and you're not relaxing. You're jet lagged. And you have to go and work somewhere, you have to go into a presentation somewhere, you have to go and sell something, you have to go and buy something you have to go sit in a meeting. Travel is not easy when it's for work.
Anyone whose family member is has to travel a lot for work.
So what happens who travels in your family a lot? Your father? Does he love it? No. Do you love it? No, because you have to miss your father, right? Many times it happens that people have to switch their jobs because it's traveled lifestyle is not suiting them anymore. It's too difficult. But what do we learn over here, that those who have given their lives to Allah subhanaw taala, then they also have to travel. And you know, who came to my mind when I read this? Today? I say when I was thinking about these amazing show you who one day are in Dubai, and the other day, they're in North America, and they're somewhere else and they're somewhere else, and they're somewhere else.
And you might think well, they must travel, you know, first class business class. Best seats? Not necessarily. Not necessarily. And even if it is like that, travel in itself, is it something easy? No. It's very difficult.
Because it's like when you're traveling, do you eat properly? Do you sleep properly? Can you do your laundry comfortably? Can you iron your clothes comfortably, everything begins to bother you. And you're like, you know what, I just want to get home I just want to get home so that I can have my they'll travel. Alright, your simple meal. That's all you want. And I can just sit on my couch. That's all you want, take my socks off and just sit on the couch. Right? Traveling is not easy. And imagine the Prophet salallahu Salam, his companions, they would have to travel through the desert, Jay Schuler, a surah. With so much difficulty walking under the sun on burning hot sand with very
little food and water and going to a place where they didn't know what was going to happen. Whether they're going to fight or what was going to happen, whether they're going to come back alive or what was going to happen. They didn't know it was completely unexpected. These days, at least you have an idea. Okay, we have to check in at this hotel, we have to stay in this person's house. A set at home you have to leave the comfort of your house in order to travel.
So sometimes a person has to travel in order to seek knowledge. Right? And sometimes Traveling means get out of your bed, even on a weekend at 9am so that you can have your breakfast and get ready and dry for 45 minutes to a Quran class or dry for an hour to a Quran class and pick five people up on the way. This is also what travel a savvy home. People travel to sharp people travel to eat at a restaurant, right? People traveled that they could go have a good time at Disney. They traveled so that they could go stand at a beach.
Those who have given their lives to Allah subhanaw taala they travel for whose sake for the sake of Allah and for what purpose for the purpose of religion for the purpose of Deen in order to learn it in order to teach it in order to promote it in order to defend it. In order to worship Allah if you think about our Hajj or Umrah isn't that sea that is also travel. And whoever said that hajj was easy. No matter what package you get Whoever said that hajj was easy. It is not easy. Because when you're stuck in your bus for eight hours on the road, even if it's air conditioning, you have all those snacks, just realizing that you're stuck in a bus on the road is very, very difficult. A set
your own. They leave the comfort of their homes and their travel for the sake of Allah. Many women what happens they find it difficult to attend a class regularly because they say My home will get neglected.
We have made our home so comfortable, right? And we want everything to be perfect all the time. And because of that we don't want to do anything else because we don't want to disturb that comfort.
Say who means
Definitely the comfort of their home is going to get affected. There are going to be times when there's going to be huge loads of laundry waiting for them, files of dishes waiting for them. But a set when people go every morning to work, right? They go at night to work, they will go party for hours. Why can we not travel for the sake of Allah for a couple of hours for a couple of days to learn something to teach something, a set home,
unlock your own those who do recall or a sad you do those who do such the meaning and all of the striving for the cause of Allah they don't neglect worship. They're also foremost in the worship of Allah ahead. Busy in the worship of Allah rock your own said you do notice Salah has not been mentioned recording such that has been mentioned. Why? Because it shows that they're begging Allah, asking him for help humbling themselves before him because the one who's in the way of Allah for sure he will face a lot of difficulties. For sure, he will go through many challenges. So what happens there is a need to do is to Hara there is a need to pray enough for you Allah you helped me
Allah you make it easy for me, Alok your own saggi doon those who have given their lives for Allah. They're not selfish people concerned only about themselves and amiodarone those who order Bill maruf with the good meaning that which is good they do it themselves and they also tell others to do it. They don't keep playing unto themselves only I'm gonna build my roof one now Hoonah and in one cup and those who forbid that which is wrong
they're living the head and they're sharing the height em you're gonna build my roof one now Hunan in Monaco will have his own and those who guard let her do the
the limits set by Allah what are these limits the commands that he's given the prohibitions that he has set? Right? So those who guard the limits set by Allah meaning they established them they're careful about it. So for example in will do what are some of the commands that Allah subhanaw taala has given her so for example, in will do you have to wash your face you have to wash your hands, you have to wash your arms, right you have to wash your feet there's several steps right now it's difficult for me to roll up my sleeves because you know what, these days are buyers you know, they're so fashionable so it's difficult to roll up my sleeves. So you know what, I'm just gonna
