In the Lucha indeed Allah your mortal, he commands he orders gladly with the justice. He orders you with Justice meaning he orders you that you must be just and fair while your son and also good conduct meaning he also orders you that you should do your son. What eata aidil, Kuba and given to the relatives meaning he orders you that you must give to your relatives, when her and He forbids at the same time he also forbids you from doing certain things and what is it that he forbids you from and in fascia from immorality from indecency, while Mancha and wrong actions while Bali and rebellion, Jarrell welcome he admonishes you why La La Quinta the Koran so that you will be reminded

00:00:55--> 00:01:08

and change yourselves. This idea, how many of you have heard this idea before? Almost everybody why? Because this idea is recited quite often when, during the Friday football

00:01:09--> 00:01:52

in Allaha Morricone, Villa Adly Wilier Cerny, will eater it will cover when hiring and fascia it will Moon curry will Bali year iluminar lecan to the karoun. I'm not even Abdul Aziz, who was one of the believers. He is the one who started this week that in every fighter hotbar he would recite this is and following his traditions, many people thereafter began reciting this is regularly in the Friday hotbar. Why? Because this idea is a perfect reminder of everything that Allah commands us off and everything that he forbids us from the Companions, they said about this idea that this is one of the most comprehensive verses of the Quran.

00:01:54--> 00:02:32

It is one of the most comprehensive verses of the Quran. Because in this verse, Allah is commanding us to do three things. And he is forbidding us from doing three other things. And what he's commanding us, it covers Aqeedah, it covers beliefs, it covers actions, it covers good speech, it also covers your dealings with people. And what he's forbidding us, on the other hand is also from wrong beliefs, wrong behavior, wrong actions, wrong speech. So it's a very, very comprehensive verse of the Quran, it tells us comprehensively about everything that Allah commanded us to do and what he forbids us from.

00:02:34--> 00:03:20

And Earthman even was around when he heard this idea, just this one if he accepted Islam, that if this is what this religion is telling us to do, then why not? And if this is what this religion is forbidding us from then why not accept it? Meaning, it's so logical, it's so good, why not accept it? So this one I O was sufficient to show to this individual that Islam was the correct religion, and he accepted Islam based on this idea alone. So what is this idea? What is Allah subhanaw taala telling us over here, in the La Jolla Moodle, Allah commands you Allah orders, you tell me something, any command that is given in the Quran? Who is it from? Allah subhanaw taala any

00:03:20--> 00:03:32

prohibition that is given in the Quran? Who is that from? Allah subhanaw taala. But when this is being said at the beginning of the ayah, Allah orders you Why is this style adopted?

00:03:33--> 00:04:22

To emphasize right, and to remind us that look, Allah is ordering you listen, attentively, take this matter seriously. And it's a reminder that if Allah is ordering us to do something, then we don't have a choice regarding it. If he is telling us to do something, then he is going to question us whether we did it or not. And if he is forbidding us from doing something, again, he is going to check us, he is going to hold us accountable, whether we obeyed Him or we did not obey Him. So in the liat, Moodle indeed Allah orders Bill ugly with justice, what is justice, what is are the fairness and what is that to give to others what is do to give to others what they deserve, and each

00:04:22--> 00:04:56

person deserves something different adult does not necessarily mean equality. Equality is that a two year old child is given $100 at eat, and a 10 year old child is given $100 at eat and a 25 year old child was also given $100 But telling me that two year old child where's that money gonna go? To the farmer to the dad who's already getting her Ed right her eat gift? What is that each person is given what they deserve. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said on Zillow, Nas Mina Zillow home,

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

place people at their desert

00:05:00--> 00:05:41

Serving positions, meeting deal with them the way they deserve to be dealt with the way they deserve to be dealt with. For example, in a workplace, there could be a rule that anybody who comes in, they're expected to go upstairs, okay, climb up the stairs and go speak to the receptionist, for example. And the person at the front desk, okay, they're like, No, I have nothing to do with, you know, speaking to you, I'm just gonna forward you on to the person in the office. So you have to go. Now there comes a person in a wheelchair, or the last one that you deal with everybody, equally. Everybody go up the stairs, I'm not going to serve you, I'm just going to send you upstairs, is that

00:05:41--> 00:06:28

idle? It's not idle idle is that if a person has gone in a wheelchair, they cannot go up the stairs, you ask them what you can do for them. And you go up the stairs for them? Correct. This is, and this is what Allah subhanaw taala orders us to do in the La Jolla model Billa model. And this justice is necessary this fairness is necessary in everything, when we're dealing with people, when we're giving them their rights, when we are speaking to them, when we are working with them, as an employer, as an employee, as a parent, as a child, as a sibling, as a relative, whenever we're dealing with people fairness, justice is very, very important. Because this is what will bring

00:06:28--> 00:06:35

happiness to people, right? This is what will keep relationships good. So in the lie of middle, middle middle,

00:06:37--> 00:07:27

secondly, he also orders us well your son with your son exam is to give more, give more to the other meaning. One is, you know, the hug the right that a person deserves. Okay, that is other. But Allah subhanaw taala orders us that we should also do our son, meaning sometimes, I think more than usual, what should we do? Give people more than what they deserve a degree above what they deserve. And this axon is in different ways. Okay? Like, for example, our model is that if somebody asks you for something, they make a request, you respond to them, okay? You respond to them. They ask you, could you please give this to me, you've heard it, you're able to help them. So you get up and you give

00:07:27--> 00:07:38

them because especially as a child or as a spouse, it's your responsibility to respond to your spouse, right to help them. If someone has one that you're not even told.

00:07:39--> 00:08:01

It's not even your responsibility. You're not even asked but still you go that extra mile in order to help someone. Let me give you an example. The Prophet saw a lot of settlement his last few days. In fact, on the last day of his life when he was severely ill, and he was in the apartment of eyeshadow below on her. And

00:08:02--> 00:08:41

what happened that I shall deliver on his brother Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr, he walked in, in order to see the Prophet salallahu Salam that how is he doing? When he came in Abdul Rahman Ibn Abu Bakr, he had his miswak Okay, he had his miswak with him. And I should have low on her saw that the Prophet salallahu Salam is looking at Abdul Rahman. And in particular, he's looking at the sea whack. Okay. So I should allow on her, she said to her brother, give me that sea work. So he gave it to her, she broke it, okay, so that that would be a fresh bar, okay. And then she softened it. And then she gave it to the Prophet sallallahu was,

00:08:43--> 00:08:58

she observed, she sensed that, oh, this is what he wants. This is what he wants, I can help him here. I can give it to him. And she did everything that she could to get this Ewok to the Prophet sallallahu sallam.

00:08:59--> 00:09:34

But generally what happened was, when she asked me, I'll give her You never asked me? Why should I go get it yourself? Can you not ask yourself? Can you not use your own words? Why do you have to turn to me for everything? Give me a break also. Other is good, but on top of that, son, that is something that Allah orders us to do also, in the La Jolla model, Villa de Waal, your son, what eater it will Kuba and to give to the close relatives.

00:09:35--> 00:09:59

Only close relatives are mentioned over here and who are close relatives, those who are close in relationship to you. They're either through blood, meaning blood relatives through NASA, or through marriage through said, All right, so both types of relatives, those who are close in relationship to you, because sometimes we say, You know what, each person should take care of their parents and I

00:10:00--> 00:10:42

I am very concerned about the welfare of my parents, I don't care about my spouse, I don't care about my in laws. To me, my parents are important. And sometimes this happens from women and also for men, when they don't give importance to their wives at all, just in serving their mothers. And sometimes it's the other way around also, that the husband is neglected, the husband's family is neglected completely, why, for the sake of her own family, they will quarterback or who those who are close to you in relationship. And there are two types of relationships that Allah subhanaw taala has given to us, one through blood and second through marriage. So over here, we're ATIA in Cordoba,

00:10:42--> 00:10:48

he is telling you, that you must give to your relatives, give them what?

00:10:49--> 00:11:04

Give them what it's not mentioned here. So what does it mean? Give them whatever they need. Give them whatever you can give them money, give them love, give them support, give them good advice, give them good looks,

00:11:05--> 00:11:52

give them time, give them your service, help them etha it will CORBA because if a person cannot give to his relatives, and he cannot give to others, he cannot. If he cannot maintain good ties with those who are closest to him, then how can you maintain good ties with the people of the world? He cannot. It may be very superficial. It may be for worldly reasons, temporary benefit, but in the long run he cannot maintain a healthy relationship with anybody if he cannot maintain a healthy relationship with his relatives what data it will give to the relatives while you're unhappy and He forbids Anil fascia from fascia. He forbids you he tells you that you must keep away from fascia.

00:11:52--> 00:12:43

What is fascia for Hush, indecency, immorality. It's basically those actions which are a result of uncontrolled sexual desire, uncontrolled sexual desire. And obviously this is referring to that which is wrong. So, sins that are of sexual nature. So whether it is in or less than that, listening to dirty things and talking about dirty things and you know, watching dirty things, likewise, you know being flirty in one's behavior, staring at other this is all fascia he forbids you from fascia, meaning you must keep away from this. And fascia is the opposite of high up. What is Hyah? shyness? decency. Okay, and remember that there's two kinds of high up one is that high up which we have from

00:12:43--> 00:12:52

people and the other is that higher which a person has from Allah subhanaw taala majority of us we have hired from people,

00:12:53--> 00:13:04

which means that we will not do certain things just because people are watching us we will not say certain things just because people are listening to us. But when we're alone, we will do whatever we will say whatever we will, you know, behave however,

00:13:05--> 00:13:49

first shot is when a person commits such actions would show that he doesn't have high up. He doesn't have shyness, neither of Allah nor of men, some people at least they're shy of people. So in front of other people, at least they'll you know, hold themselves back from doing something or saying something but others they have no hire from Allah and no hire from people either. So he forbids you from fascia from immorality, and also he forbids you from all Mancha. What is Moncure a wrong action that which is rejected Ankara Yun Kuru in cow is to reject, do not accept it's considered unacceptable, unacceptable by what by Oracle, you know any decent person when he finds out that this

00:13:49--> 00:14:40

action is being done, he cannot understand he cannot accept it. And also the religion that *tier also rejects it. There is no room for those actions in the religion monka monka It is sad that this is a result of anger. Fascia is a result of uncontrolled sexual desire. And munkar on the other hand, is a result of anger, violence, rage. And this is, you know, expressed in several ways when people don't control their anger, their disapproval than what happens. fights break out. Correct. Likewise, there's loss of property, there's loss of lives, people get injured, so many businesses they get damaged. This is all monka right? So Allah subhanaw taala does not allow Mancha. Now this

00:14:40--> 00:14:46

is on a very public level in personal life also anger. Does that cause problems?

00:14:48--> 00:15:00

Of course, and when a person is behaving angrily he speaking angrily. He is dealing with others in anger in rage than the kinds of things he says and the kind of thing

00:15:00--> 00:15:11

He does what are the unacceptable? Like, for example, in anger, bang the door shut, literally so loud that the people in the lower floor they're wondering what's going on?

00:15:12--> 00:15:44

And why are they angry? over something so petty, over something so small, likewise breaking things, destroying things, yelling at others and hurting their feelings over and over again, attacking people because you're angry, you're frustrated. You know, sometimes a person is frustrated and angry because of what's going on at work. Or because how they were dealt with at a store or because of a very long day, or because, you know, they're having issues with their friend or their spouse or their parents or whoever. And that anger is led out on who,

00:15:45--> 00:15:53

on who, those who are completely innocent. Whether it is children or somebody else from the family, or computer,

00:15:54--> 00:16:39

or the dishes. Winco this is all one cook. It's not acceptable. You're angry, we understand that you're upset, Oh, can we understand that? But don't be like that. You know, it's amazing. When children when they react in anger, we become so strict with them. Use your words, lower your voice. Don't talk like that. Don't walk like that. Eat your dinner. If you behave like this, you can go up to your room. But at the same time, adults when we behave in anger when we speak in anger, what happens to us? For children, it's not acceptable, but for us we have every reason. Yeah, it's acceptable because of this and this and this. Allah forbids you from Wonka. He forbids you from

00:16:39--> 00:16:43

acting in anger, in violence in rage?

00:16:44--> 00:16:49

Well, bullying and also rebellion. What is belly? Belly is oppression.

00:16:50--> 00:17:33

Oppression. And this is a result of Quebec. It's a result of arrogance. So he forbids you from building also your ilk of like, for example, a person has power, he has authority. Nobody's going to question him. So he goes on doing whatever he wants. And he says whatever he wants, he hurts people bully, because he's proud. He thinks he can say anything, he can do anything bully urealyticum, he admonishes you, he advises you meaning he gives you this instruction, why learn look into the Quran so that you remember, you remember, meaning when you will remember these things, only then you can bring about a change in yourself. Now, this is the message of the Quran. Three things which are

00:17:33--> 00:17:37

commanded and three things which are forbidden, what three things are commanded,

00:17:38--> 00:17:44

what three things are commanded are the air sun and eata. The they'll Cordoba,

00:17:46--> 00:17:49

adult justice, who needs to be just unfair?

00:17:50--> 00:17:54

Someone who is sitting on the seat of the judge in a court

00:17:55--> 00:18:12

and there are passing verdicts, they have to be fair. Yes, they have to be fair, who else needs to be fair? Who everybody think about your own role. Okay, what different roles do you play, for example, in your family, as an older sibling,

00:18:13--> 00:18:53

as a sister, as the only sister, okay, or as the daughter, who can see the fights of other people who can see the arguments of other people. Now, many times it happens that because we are inclined to one side, or because we think that one person is the victim, we unconditionally support them. We love them so we unconditionally support them. But what do we see here either. Don't support someone just because you love them. Don't support someone just because you think they deserve better. Support, the one who's helped it is this is our this is fairness.

00:18:54--> 00:19:09

After other is your son, your son is in dealing with people, whether they are your relatives, or your co workers or your friends. And your son is also in dealing with Allah subhanaw taala

00:19:11--> 00:19:17

your son with Allah what is that it lasts a class on Nia sincerity of the intention.

00:19:18--> 00:20:00

And this is what makes actions beautiful. This is what strengthens the belief of the heat in a person exam. And also if sand towards people, whether they're children or parents or siblings or spouse, your son. So are the exam and thirdly eata they'll CORBA only relatives are mentioned over here. But if a person has been told to give to the relatives then it means he's being told to give to everybody else because charity begins where at home, you have to begin with those who are closest to you. You help them you give them and then you reach out. Then you spread farmed, but it is not good.

00:20:00--> 00:20:06

erected a person forgets his own family, and he's giving to the rest of the world etha it will start with those who are closest to you.

00:20:08--> 00:20:46

You know, many times it happens that we are looking for opportunities to volunteer, we're looking for a sick person, we can go and visit. These days, it's our shoulder hit the first 10 days of the month of their hygiene, you know that when a person performs any good deed at this time of the year, then it's most beloved to Allah subhanaw taala. Its most pure, it's more beloved to Allah hubba Illallah Eska in Allah from Hadees, we learn. So we are looking for opportunities, we're wondering, is there any person in a hospital and we can go and visit is there any person who's, you know, desperately in need of help, and we can assist them. Look in your own household, you know, when your

00:20:46--> 00:20:47

brother has a headache,

00:20:48--> 00:21:12

and your sister has a fever, or your younger brother, he gets hurt. Because he fell and he bruised his knee. They're also sick. We look for big, big opportunities, but those that are right in front of us, we neglect them. We're eata in your quarterback, good deeds begin at home. Remember that Charity begins at home.

00:21:13--> 00:22:01

You want to volunteer somewhere, volunteering begins at home. It does always you want to spend on others that also begins at home because you know going to somebody whom you have no idea about who they are giving them a $5 bill $10 Bill, okay. But giving that money to your brother, and then watching him go and have fun with it. And you're sitting, that really means that you have to give, you know, give money and give a part of your heart. Yes, sir la Santa Monica. As a little girl, I tell them, I tell them, I'll give you homework for the hijab and the homework, you have to be good to where they say that's easy, we'll do it. And I say all you have to be good to civil in this way.

00:22:01--> 00:22:27

We're not gonna do that. That's really hard. Subhanallah it is hard. But if you leave something for the sake of Allah, Allah will give you something better. Because parents are already nice to you. Right? So it's easy to be nice with them. But siblings, they are a big test, a really big test. So giving to them a tidal CORBA you know, sometimes all they want is that colored paper.

00:22:28--> 00:22:40

Really? And it just annoys you that why do you always want things that are with me that I have. Just because I have pink paper doesn't mean you need pink paper also, go get your own

00:22:41--> 00:22:45

e Tag it will CORBA letting them step into your room.

00:22:46--> 00:22:57

Letting them come in and sit on your chair, letting them use your desk letting them use your bathroom or your new soap or whatever it is. etha is the quarterback it's the most difficult.

00:22:58--> 00:23:39

And you know what? Sure. What is your stingy Deus and greed of the heart that doesn't allow you to give even the smallest of things to share even the smallest of things. If a person cannot overcome the show, in his family in his home, then how can you overcome this when dealing with the world to eat that little quarterback? When hurdle fascia he forbids you from fascia from immorality from indecency. Keep away from dirty language keep away from dirty songs and dirty things that come on the television or whatever it is. Fascia keep away from it. Because when a person sees it listens to it watches it, he begins to

00:23:41--> 00:23:44

he begins to like it. When he's okay with it, he'll end up doing it.

00:23:46--> 00:24:11

Oftentimes we talk about like, watching bad things, but like reading about them is also just as bad like romantic books. Like they have things that even like what you watch, like, What's worse, yeah, it's worse and because you are reading every word, right? I mean, if it's a you know, seen on the television, you can always look away and close your eyes. But if you're reading the words,

00:24:12--> 00:24:23

then how can you not know what's going on? Fascia, any kind of Russia keep away from it. Because when a person indulges in fascia that takes us higher away,

00:24:24--> 00:24:47

his hangout goes away, his shyness goes away. And when his shyness goes away, then what do we learn in Hadith that either lamda study for slot machines, that when you don't have higher than call to whatever you want, meaning that a person doesn't care about what people think about what about people's feelings about any level of decency, he doesn't care that he will stop nowhere.

00:24:48--> 00:24:55

So he forbids you from fascia. And this fascia person has to keep away from it his privacy when he's alone.

00:24:57--> 00:24:59

While Munkar and wrong actions

00:25:00--> 00:25:41

Well bully and rebellion, just because you have the power and the authority, don't think you can go on hurting others. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, there is no sin more deserving of having its punishment hastened in this world, as well as what is reserved in the hereafter for the one who does it except barley and cutting the ties of kingship, meaning be their sins for which the punishment comes where in this world, and yes, there is also punishment in the hereafter, barley aggression, oppressing other people, just because we have the power to force feed we force feed, just because we have the power to say anything.

00:25:42--> 00:25:49

And hit and slap our younger sibling, we go ahead and do that. What is he going to say? What is she going to say? What can they do to me?

00:25:50--> 00:26:01

You know, like, smack the younger sibling and what can he do, he can come and push and you push them back and they fall against the wall. And you just laugh it off smirk at them and go away. This is bully,

00:26:02--> 00:26:05

from sorry to say yes, it happens in movies, but it also happens in

00:26:07--> 00:26:08

households.

00:26:10--> 00:26:43

You see in these verses that Allah subhanaw taala has given us the complete personality a complete characteristic of what a person should be if they want to be a decent and decent human being who is able to live among others. He's given us all the qualities of being just, this is just something simple, right? When you see someone who's being hurt, what should you do just, you know, common human courtesy requires that you help them right just that's just a basic basic courtesy, then isn't doing better and beyond, again, an extra quality that will just make you a better person, and then giving to your relatives and then starting from your relatives and going on to others and then

00:26:43--> 00:27:12

stopping from things like fascists or just in decency, things that no like, the fifth one doesn't require, like you don't want to look at it yourself. Right and it takes away from shyness that a person is born with and then you know, controlling your anger which is again something that you're taught as a child and you know, actually sticking to it, even in your adulthood and then but the oppression that's just considered wrong to anybody and everybody, so Allah Subhana Allah has given us a complete personality that would be the best for us to live with in this world.

00:27:14--> 00:27:19

And in the Quran, what do we learn that shaitan orders you with Russia and Mancha?

00:27:20--> 00:28:09

Allah forbids us from Russia and Monaco and Shavonne orders us to do Varsha and Monica. So what Allah orders us shaytaan forbids us from it, and what Allah forbids us from Shaytaan orders us to do so then we have to see who are we following? Am I following ALLAH my lord? Or am I following shaitan my enemy, what else will be the law he and fulfill the covenant of Allah meaning the promises the pledges that you make with Allah, or you make with others in Allah's Name, fulfill them, either I had done when you have taken it meaning when you've made the promise, then fulfill it. Well, Adam Kulu and do not break up Amen. The old stem Kudo Knock, knock to hobble is to untie a knot. And from

00:28:09--> 00:28:43

this knocked off the breaking of a promise or making a pledge meaning swearing an oath and then violating that knock this used for that. So let them cuddle, amen. Amen. Florida via mean yumminess to take an oath, so to say, By Allah, I swear by Allah, I shall do this and this and this. This is what you mean an oath. I make a promise that I will do this by Allah. This is a I mean, you swore an oath. So Latin called don't break that don't violate that.

00:28:44--> 00:28:56

That later on, you don't adhere to your promise, your commitment, and you break it by that okay, the after it's though Keith don't Keith, is this word familiar?

00:28:57--> 00:29:28

So keep that keep that this is for emphasis, though. Keep this to emphasize. Okay, from Wellpath doll. And we can is used for the rope with which a cow, for example is tied when being milked. You saw in that video clip that when the cow was being milked, it was made to stand at a certain place and then it was locked into that it cannot move. So whatever means is used to lock in an animal so that it doesn't move from its place while being milked that is called we cut from this dough key is to make something firm,

00:29:29--> 00:29:59

to make something firm firm so that it doesn't move. It doesn't move just like the cow it won't move now, it cannot go anywhere. It likewise, you've emphasized the statement, you've made something firm. So you're not going to go against it. You're not going to leave it you're not going to go right or left. You're going to adhere to it. This is tokeep so Bogatell key the after. It's confirmation, meaning you sworn oath and you confirmed it. How did you confirm it? That you for example, you

00:30:00--> 00:30:50

wrote it You swore an oath by Allah, you took Allah's name. Now once you've made an oath like that, to break it, don't nullify it. don't violate it. Especially because we're called the Jonathan while you have made Allah Allah Our lay come on Yuka Phila, it guarantee her when you swore an oath by Allah, You made him a caffeine over yourself with caffeine. Caffeine is someone who becomes a guarantor. Okay? Like, for example, you want to go and rent an apartment, you have an income, that is basically 75% 75% of it is the rent. Okay? So when you go show that to the company, they're like, no, no, we need somebody to guarantee that you will actually pay the rent because your rent and your

00:30:50--> 00:31:33

income, if there isn't much room over here. So what happens? You go to your dad, and you said, Dad, can you please become my guarantor? So what does it mean? That if you don't give you a rent, then what will happen? Who will have to give it your dad will have to, right? And your dad is there to make sure you call your debt and He supervises the contract, and he's part of it to make sure that you will adhere to your duty. So likewise, when a person swears an oath, he says, By Allah, I swear by Allah, I will do this. What does it mean? He's making Allah a witness to the transaction. And he says, that I make Allah He witnessed that I will do this.

00:31:34--> 00:31:51

So you made a law a guarantee her over this contract. Now you're going to break you're going to nullify, you're going to violate it. In the La Jolla animal Mata for our loan. Remember that indeed, Allah knows whatever you are doing.

00:31:52--> 00:32:07

Because see, people when they become a guarantee, it's possible that you are doing something fishy, and they've got no idea. But Allah knows exactly what you're doing. So in other words, don't miss us the name of Allah subhanaw taala.

00:32:08--> 00:32:55

You see, we live with people, we work with people, we interact with people, we deal with people all the time. When you're living in this world, you cannot live a completely secluded life. There will be times when you will make contracts, commitments, promises with others. Sometimes there are big and sometimes they are small, sometimes they're legal, and sometimes they're, you know, not that heavy. Not that big of a deal. Marriage is also a contract. Right? Now, many times it happens that when a contract is being made big or small, people use the name of Allah Bismillah R Rahman Rahim at the beginning of the contract, it's written and in sha Allah Hamdulillah you know, Allah's name is

00:32:55--> 00:33:30

mentioned over and over again to show to the other person I'm so religious, I'm so fearful of Allah, you know, I will adhere to my promise, I will do my share. You don't need to have any fears. Likewise, some people swear oaths, every other sentence will Allah he will Allah He Wallahi now when you're swearing an oath, basically you're telling the other person that he doesn't need to have any fears you will be committed to your promise and you will not break it. So Allah subhanaw taala saying over here that when you make promises like that, less than puddle, amen about that, okay, they

00:33:32--> 00:33:55

don't break your oath after their confirmation. You've given your word to someone, you mentioned the name of Allah, don't, don't go against it, fulfill it, other phobia dilla fulfill the promise of Allah and be fearful because in the lie our level mattify to other people might never know the whole story, but Allah knows what you're doing.

00:33:57--> 00:34:42

And remember that when a person breaks a promise, okay, a commitment a pledge Big or small, then first and foremost, he's harming himself. He's harming himself. Apparently you might be running off with, you know, $15,000 or half a million dollars, whatever. But in reality, he is harming himself because Allah says in the Quran from a NACA inner man catalana. See, whoever breaks his word only breaks it to the detriment of himself. He's harming himself because Allah knows what he's doing. And you know, when a person breaks his promises an oath. What does it show? He's trustworthy. He's honest. No. It shows that he's dishonest. And a heart that is dishonest. Can Eman, stay over there?

00:34:43--> 00:35:00

Can Eman stay over there know if a person is cheating people lying to them? breaking promises, then yes, eventually your time will come when he will do piano with his Lord also. He will. Because fearing Allah means fearing Allah when

00:35:00--> 00:35:05

You're alone. When you're alone. Let me give you an example. Something very, very small.

00:35:06--> 00:35:40

Bathroom etiquette, bathroom etiquette simple, who can keep a check on you that you're observing proper bathroom etiquette, nobody can. Only a child can be supervised but after a certain age even they're not supervised, right? But if a person uses a bathroom, and he's negligent concerning urine splashes, that he doesn't care, urine is, you know, splashing on his legs, on his clothes, or her clothes or her legs. And she's not really careful about cleaning herself afterwards. Who knows about it? Only he knows. And Allah knows, she knows and Allah knows.

00:35:41--> 00:35:49

What is that a person doesn't know that those clashes happen but the others that they know it happened in front of me I saw it. Well forget it. What's the big deal?

00:35:50--> 00:36:10

For this is our that will cover punishment in the grave. punishment in the grave. Just imagine from something that is so apparently significant. But this action shows that a person doesn't care about Allah subhanaw taala he doesn't have shyness, he doesn't have any higher of Allah. He doesn't have any fear.

00:36:12--> 00:36:38

And apparently it seems small. But it's an attitude. And an attitude is not reflected in one action. It's reflected in many many actions when dealing with people in private when dealing with Allah subhanaw taala so over here when dealing with people you're making promises don't break down especially when the name of Allah has been used. And remember that Allah is watching you. That's the recitation of these verses

00:36:49--> 00:36:49

such

00:36:58--> 00:36:59

that go

00:37:00--> 00:37:01

well.

00:37:11--> 00:37:11

John

00:37:15--> 00:37:17
