AI: Summary ©
Welcome, everybody, and say to my servants, your Kulu, they should say, Allah t that which here it is our son best. Allah subhanaw taala tells the Prophet salallahu Salam, that you tell my servants, those who believe in me that they should speak that which is best. Just like the prophets on a lot of centum spoke that which was best look at the previous is how the machine are coming up with excuse after excuse objection after objection, but a best response is given. Excellent response is given. They're trying to move away from the subject and they're brought back to the subject again and again. Because what happens when you're talking to someone, you're trying to tell them about
Allah subhanaw taala and the Olympic on something and they start an argument over there, and they start another argument, bring them back, bring them back, like you know, musasa when he was studying for our own about Allah subhanaw taala for their own set. Oh, what about the people who died before the previous generations? Were they going to be
because basically wanted Musar Islam to say, Oh, they're going to be in *, and that's going to make everybody so upset.
So Musa Sam, he brought the conversation back to the subject. This is arson. This is excellent response. So learn from the evidences that are given in the Quran, learn from the Sunnah, that couldn't everybody your Qulity here, bison. But this is not just limited to when you're telling somebody about Allah subhanaw taala. And when you're doing garwa, or when you're talking about religion, not just at that time, but even in general, when you're speaking to people, what should you say? What kind of words What does Allah subhanaw taala? Say? What kind of words?
What kind of words tell me from the
sun? Everybody said, Son. Best words? What do we like to say sometimes?
Bad words? What does Allah say? Use good words, not just good. Us and not Hassan, Hassan. Hassan is good. And accent is most good, excellent. Why use excellent speech and good words with other people. Because remember what we learned earlier? When you're talking to people, they have these preconceived, you know, beliefs, notions, and they filter everything through that. So there are barriers in communication, there are these hurdles that they have put. So you have to be extra careful when you're talking to them. When you're speaking to people why? Because people can always misunderstand what you're telling them. They can misinterpret what you're telling them the message
that you're giving them. And you know what a greater problem is that they're shaped lawn with every person behind him. Casting negative thoughts in his mind that see what she's telling you. Look at how she's yelling at you. She doesn't have any respect for you in the shaitana Yen's Albena home indeed, shaitan. He does nuzzle between them what is known as Nestle's to poke, to nudge and this word is also used for planting hatred, evil thoughts. So this is what happens. You're listening to somebody and you're like, Yes, ma'am. You're right. I know I should be doing this. But then what happens? It's like somebody books you're like, wait a minute, who are you to tell me this? And why
should I have to listen to you? This isn't us. That all of a sudden, you're instigated? You know to think negatively about the person who's talking to you. So shall follows after people poking them, telling them to think negatively in the shaitana kana little in Sanya do one more Bina indeed, shaytaan he is ever to the human being a clear and open enemy. So what do we learn them? That in communication, don't leave room for shaytaan
I say something about the preconceived opinions we have about others. For every command that Allah has given us, I've noticed that there's so many benefits behind it, like for the hijab, for example, and like, for backbiting, like on the surface, it might just avoid problems and just submit to Allah and all that. But like, it helps you from making, like giving others your preconceived opinions about like, others, you know, so like, it helps them with having a clear mind. So when you accept what Allah is telling you and keep away from what he's forbidding you, this is actually going to help you. This is going to help you communicate with others well, it's going to help improve your
relationship with others. So over here when Allah is telling us speak that which is best wi for who's good for who's good for our own good.
You know, for example, if you go home and you find out that while you were away in your
Class, somebody went through your room and did what they did. So you're upset about it. And if all of a sudden you start yelling, and start accusing your little brother, or your little sister, and then you get upset with your mother also, is this accent speech? No, it's not. Is it going to solve the problem? No, it's not. What is it going to do? It's going to worsen the problem.
So many go. In psychology, like we study so much about people, human behavior, communication, and so on. And like, there is a whole book like when I was studying when Allah that they talk about how they emphasize like, when you say anything, automatically how we go to the human brain, and how they take it in and how you say it, and the body language and so on. And it's so much details, and I remember it's kind of lemak Do I really have to study all this to remember, but just this one is summarize that whole book, it's all about your speech and how you say it. And it's not only don't say anything to say the best of speech, it's kinda like, it just made the whole book a lot easier
for me to write now to go back.
So your core allottee. Here is and in order to avoid problems, because many problems that we have with people, why do we have those problems with them? What's the reason?
Okay, miscommunication. And also,
because we heard them saying something that hurt us, it hurt our feelings. And even though they said it 10 years ago, you can just not overcome it,
isn't it?
And this is how we decide that so and so is my friend, and so and so is my enemy, so and so is in my good books, and so and so is in my bad books.
Think about all the people that you know,
people that you feel comfortable with? Why is it that you feel comfortable with them, one of the main reasons is their speech, what they say how they say, and if you have a problem with a particular individual, what's the reason? It's the way they talk to you the way they address you the kinds of things they say to you.
You know how you're saying that we can hold grudges. But wait, someone said to us like 10 years ago, I think it's easier for us as girls to hold grudges. And I think that we should try harder to take these away. And then if you felt bad, because it says something bad to you. You don't want to do that to someone else. So you should watch yourself before you keep gorgeous on someone else. Exactly. That think about it. If the words of a person can hurt us so much, then should we not become even more careful with our words?
We're very concerned about our feelings and what other people say to us. What is Allah subhanaw taala telling us over here, you speak properly, you speak in the best way?
Because the thing is that when we speak negatively to others, whether the negativity is in the content or in the style, then yes, we hurt them. But we also hurt ourselves.
Because with those words of anger with those extremely harsh words, what have we done? We have burnt, you know our bridges, we have basically destroyed that relationship.
This is why what did the prophets Allah Islam say that whoever believes in Allah in the last day, you should either say something good or remain silent.
In anger, what have we been told, P quiet. Control yourself. Even in times of grief, control, your sadness, Kelly mean, suppress the anger, Somali calm, I will read about how people the way you speak if you're speaking negatively, and using really harsh words and just dissing other people, that person is listening to you is actually kind of mirroring and reflecting those words on you. So they're interpreting it. As you know, those words are from you, therefore you're like that, as well. So it kind of reflects your character as well. Of course it reflects the character of a person. You know, for example, if a person is always yelling, always frowning.
Then what happens every time you remember them, you remember, a frown on their face, and you remember a really, really loud voice.
So this is why you're called allottee. Here is an Smilla Sara alikom. I remember my mom, she used to tell me every time if you want to say something bad to someone say to yourself first, first, if you like it, say to others.
I read the story recently about this boy went somewhere and he heard a sound so he said Who is it? And he heard somebody saying Who is it? said who are you? Who are you? He heard that back? And I asked you first and he heard I asked you first? He said if I find you I'm gonna give it to you. If I find you I'm gonna give it to you
who
Are you? Where are you? He heard who are you? Where are you? So he got really annoyed. And this went on for some time, he went home really upset, told his mom and his mom said, that was your Echo. If you had said something good, you would have heard something good.
And this is true when I don't know if the story is true or not. But the concept is true that whatever you say, that is what you hear in return.
Because our words, the vocabulary that we use, people pick up on it, they begin to use the same words with us. So always say what you want to hear yourself.
My niece is at such an age where she repeats every single thing you say, whether you mean it or you don't. And she picks up on it really quickly. And sometimes me and my sisters, we just tend to say some things that we normally say. And then she repeats it. And then later on, she says it again and like, like people ask her where did you hear that from? And she knows who where she heard it from too. So like, it makes you think, what are you saying, Actually, and my mom always says, you know, say good things in front of her. So she repeats it. And it really makes you reflect and it makes you realize what you're saying, is it good or isn't nice. I mean, we fix our speech just because
somebody is going to pick up on it, think about it, we should fix our speech, because it's going in our book, in our record.
So your kulula T here is going to be able to fix our speech, we also have to make sure that what's going in our ears is also clean. Because what we hear and what we listen that people who are around, they constantly affect the way that we speak. So to be able to keep our tongue clean, we also have to make sure that what we're hearing is also clean, very true. Because if there's something in your head, going on and on and on what's gonna happen, it's gonna come out of the mouth.
It's not possible. You know, if in your head, there's a replay of a song that you heard, and it's they're stuck in your head, what's going to happen, you're going to start singing it.
You're going to start saying it
will not become our Allah. Your Lord is most knowing become with you, meaning he knows you best, each person, what their state is, what their fate is, what their outcome is going to be, what their true feelings are easier Shep, if he wants your hand come, he can show mercy to you, oh, or Iesha if He wills you or libcom He can punish you. Meaning if he wants, he can forgive you for the words that you say all the time without thinking. And he does, doesn't he? And at times you're the outcome. He punishes you, because of what because of what you've said.
Sometimes you say the most harshest words to a person. And then what happens? No repercussions. No problem, nothing. Allah's mercy, special mercy over there. But other times what happens, we say something that was not as harsh, but then we get it back.
Right? We suffer the consequences. So who should we fear Allah subhanaw taala if he wants, he can forgive us and if he wants, he can hold us accountable. He can punish us for the wrong that we're doing. Why am I also Lucarelli him Oh Akela and we have not sent you a prophets of Allah to send them over people as they were killed was a working manager meaning to force people to believe to force people to change their ways your job is to convey and leave it to them. For that kid in nama Anta with a kid, while aboukir RLM and your Lord is most knowing be manifest somehow it will all of those who are in the skies and the earth meaning every creature whether it's up in the sky, or
somewhere on the earth, Allah knows about them.
Even the feelings that we have, the thoughts that we entertain the graduates that we keep, Allah knows about them, while could have Ebola and certainly we prefer bow gonna begin some prophets are allowed over others will attain the Buddha, the Buddha and we gave to the wood or the salam. There's a book in the book that is called the Buddha. Why is this being mentioned? Many times? Why is it that we have a problem with other people, because of which we say nasty things to them? What's the reason DeLacy we have a problem with a special thing that they have, you know, little children even what happens if one gets a candy and the other doesn't? I'm not your friend.
Go away. Right good sadness. Why? Because jealousy, bad feelings. So Allah subhanaw taala tells us that he has kept differences even within the prophets. So amongst people of course, there will be differences one person has been given more of something and the other has been given less of that except this variety.
This is not a communist world where everything and everyone is equal. No. Allah subhanaw
Allah has kept rewriting the creation will attain Allah what is Ebola. The other reason I was given a book, and this book was so different, because of all was hymns words of praise, the spear that would or Islam would say words of the spear and in the Quran we learn that even the birds would get involved with that the spear and the mountains would also get involved in echo back. So he would recite this Ubuntu Buddha's old words of praise of Allah subhanaw taala, the Torah very different commands, laws, do's and don'ts, the Quran also different.
So, people are different. What Allah subhanaw taala gives to people that is different except this variety. And keep that in mind when you're talking to people.
Because sometimes we think, Oh, they should not get upset. Why are they upset? They should not think like this. You know what, they're more sensitive, they're more touchy, they're more emotional than you perhaps you don't understand emotions, but they are very emotional. So be considerate and be careful about their feelings.
Did you want to say something?
mentioned?
Yeah, so over here, the reason why this has mentioned is because the Buddha was different from the other books in many ways.
Old say older who call upon who Alladhina xantham in dunya, those whom you have claimed, meaning to be gods besides Him,
those whom you claim that they are gods, besides Allah subhanaw taala if you really think their God call upon them,
ask them for help. Fellow young Licona they do not possess cash for burriana income, the removal of any harm from you. They're not able to remove difficulty from you while at the Wheeler, nor it's the wheel meaning they're not even able to transfer it the wheat is from how old
How old is also used for a year why because comes back. Right? So the wheel is to move from one to the other, transfer from one to the other. So those whom you think are God, if you call upon them, you'll get no answer.
And if you seek help from them, they cannot remove any problem any difficulty from you. They cannot take it away, nor can they transfer it from you to somebody else. Why? Because all power is with who? Allah subhanaw taala he only bestows good and he only removes harm. Allah Iike those meaning those whom you think are God, they are in reality what Allah servants and who are they? They are hola Erica Alladhina de Runa those whom they call upon being these gods, false gods, these beings these people whom they consider to be God, who are they in reality, Allah says they Yeah, but the Hoonah they seek they're all seeking in our behalf him to their Lord, Allah sila means of access was
sila means the carob walsim Lamb
was he loved means the carob what does that mean to try to get closer to attain nearness and closeness to someone. So for example, a person makes the bar to restart his center a person makes the bar to Maria Maria center, a person makes the art to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam Angel Jibreel Ali Radi Allahu Anhu. Who are these people? Who are the Allah servants? And each and every one of them? What was their goal in life? What is it that they were striving towards closeness to Allah subhanaw taala meaning they themselves are needy.
They themselves ask Allah. So if they are needy, and they're trying to get closer to Allah,
then why are you asking them? Because if someone is needy themselves, can they help you? They cannot.
So they themselves tried to see closeness to Allah au home a club as to which of them is closest nearest meaning their servants and they compete to get closer to Allah while June Allah Mata and the hope for His Mercy while ha fauna Agha and they fear His punishment. Why? Because in nada, but a big kind of a hula indeed the punishment of your Lord it is ever mahalo meaning feared worthy of being feared, worthy of being guarded against worthy of being cautious off because it is quite frightening. So all of these people whom others worship, what is their reality they are servants of Allah, trying to get closer to Allah, trying to seek His mercy, avoiding his punishment, their
servants they're needy themselves.
So they do not deserve to be worshipped. In truth the Zoomer is three we learn when Medina Holloman, Dhoni Alia, those people who have died
Can besides Allah Olia meaning they call upon them they worship them. What's the reason they give? They say mana Buddha woman, Liu, curry, buena, illallah, his OLFA we're only worshiping them in order to get closer to Allah. They are our connection with Allah. But the fact is that they themselves are in need of Allah. They themselves worshipped ALLAH ask him for help. So why are you asking them? Why don't you go to the source directly? Why are you going through others? Ask Allah directly. And this was the way of the prophets Allah Allah says and if you think about at better, the prophets, Allah Allah Listen, do you make dua? Of course yeah. How are you? Yeah, a young
erotica studies or living or eternal sustainer of all existence, I seek Your mercy. I want your mercy. I want your help. The angels do they fear Allah as punishment? Yes, you have one or bajo? Min phulka him? They fear their Lord. So why are you making dua to the angels? So what's the lesson in this? Ayah?
Exactly. Ask Allah directly. Why? Because Allah is a Sameer. He hears everybody. He hears everyone. And when a person thinks, Oh, who am I? And why would my dua be accepted? And why would Allah respond to me, I am just an ordinary person. You know what this shows that this person's belief in Allah is weak.
He doesn't believe that Allah hears everybody. Because if he believed that Allah hears everybody, then he would understand that Allah also hears me. He also listens to me. So ask Allah directly, don't go through others go directly to the source. Think about it. If you know there's a person that you need to speak to about a particular issue. What do you prefer to do? Speak to them directly or send a message to them through somebody? What do you like to do? Directly? This is why we say Can I please have your number? So I can call you can I please email you directly? Can I have a meeting with you? Can I get an appointment with you because I need to talk to you directly. Because it's
easier, it's better communication is more open. Right? And if you send word through somebody, then what happens? It gets changed. Right? And you ask someone, can you please make to offer me can you please give this message for me? And you don't know if it's been delivered or not? You don't even know if that person made the offer you. So why wait for others to make the offer you start making dua, yourself.
Yeah, broken telephone.
Right? So what happens?
It changes what you said, became something completely different. So if you have to send a message to someone or request to someone, what would you prefer to do? I want to ask directly, I want to talk directly. It's more efficient, and it's more effective. I feel like this verse is really beautiful. Because you can see how even like people of smallest us have the opportunity to speak directly with the creator of the world. There's other people who I know they're like, you know, we pray to this person to try and connect us to our God. And when I look at, like, when I compare it, I'm like, it's just so much easier for us to talk directly to a las Panatela, we can ask him and talk to him even
in our hearts. And it's such a relieving feeling. It's like you know, to know that he's constantly there with us and for us. And it's amazing how sometimes there are these feelings in your heart that you cannot even express with your mouth. You cannot, you cannot even find the words. But Allah subhanaw taala understands the speech of everybody, whether it's clear or unclear. He knows what people are saying even in their hearts. Right? Because he knows the secret, the secret and that which is even more hidden than that. We're in such a horrible Kohli. If you make your words out loud, meaning you say them openly, or you don't you say them secretly, so you whisper to somebody,
or that which is even more hidden. So you just keep it in your heart. You don't even share with somebody Allah knows everything, what you said openly what you said secretly, and what you kept in your heart. I find it so amazing that Allah knows exactly how we're feeling. Because like, for me, I find it difficult to explain things to others, right? Like, whether it's just a simple story or just how I'm feeling or whatever. So like, when I know that like, Allah knows that I'm like, It's okay. Allah knows, you know, he understands he sees. He knows better than even I know. You remember the incident where a woman came to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam complaining to him about her husband
and the Prophet sallallahu sallam? He didn't have an answer for her because
Since revelation had been sent concerning that issue, so that woman basically after a long time, she basically gave up and she just sat there. And she didn't go. She just sat there because she wanted an answer. She wanted a solution I should have Hello are now sitting over there and she didn't hear the exact conversation that took place. And she didn't even hear what that woman was saying what dua she was making? And Allah subhanaw taala revealed is that God Samia Allah who Allah heard,
Allah heard the woman or the semi Allah who call allottee to God, Luca Feasel Jaya who was arguing with you about her husband, what dish tequila and she was complaining to Allah, that complaint who heard it, that the province of Eliza here know that I should have been the one who here? No, they were in the room present. But Allah subhanaw taala heard, as I think you've kind of answered it, but it's still one I put up the question. It's a general struggle that I've seen in people, you feel that Allah would hear that person more if he's even apparently look righteous, so people will come to you to make dua, or people would say that officers, if we make Prophet sallallahu Sallam they
were sila. Allah would listen to him more. So how do you count about that? And how do you make people understand that a lot still loves you and Allah will listen to you? The thing is that have we been taught to make the Ark of the prophets, a lot of them so that he would make dua?
Know,
when we send the salaams, the Salawat and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam does he hear directly? No, it is delivered to him.
Which means that if we're standing and making dua to the prophets of Allah and making him that will sila he cannot hear. He cannot. If our Salawat are delivered to him, then how can we expect that our doors he can hear them? He is not a Sameer, who is a Sameer Allah subhanaw taala is a severe and when in the Quran, Allah tells us so many times over and over again call upon me call upon me in so many different ways than why won't we call upon Him? And this thinking that we have that Oh, other people because they're more religious. They're closer to Allah. This is why they're though ours are accepted more than ours. Okay, fine. You can say that so and so is, you know, Mr. Jebel Dawa there
to answer accepted Alhamdulillah. But that doesn't mean that you don't make dua, the one who is going through a problem themselves, they can express it in the best way. Right? If you're struggling with something, when you're going to ask for help, you're going to ask with, with feeling
with emotions, genuinely, you're going to ask, and somebody else who just sees you, and it's like, okay, yeah, I'll make a request for you. How can they express in the same way they cannot? And just because you're asking somebody to make the art that doesn't exempt you from making
the profit or loss, and I'm told, are modeled below and don't forget us in your door? Imagine if he was making dua himself for himself, asking others? Do you remember me in your doors?
Then? How can we think that we just asked others to make dua for us and we don't make to ourselves? In fact, in Hadith, we learned that the one who does not ask Allah, Allah becomes angry with him. Mala Mia's Illa Jakob early Allah gets upset with him.
That why is it that you're going to my creation, and you're not asking me directly? Has it ever happened with you that you needed something and you asked a friend and your mom finds out? And she says, Why are you asking your friends? You should ask me directly.
Have we died?
Are we not here? Have we refused you before? Why are you not asking us? Why are you going out to the people of the world and asking them and humiliating us? You should ask us directly. As long as we're living we will help you. We are there for you. If this is the case with parents who love us,
then what about Allah subhanaw taala? Who loves us even more? And people what can they give to us? Ultimately, who are they asking? Allah right? So why not ask directly?
Yes, um, you mentioned the story of the woman who came to the prophets letters I loved to complain about her issue. And Allah subhana della revealed it to me Allah Who, but I was just focusing on the word Semia. It says that he heard it's that like, Allah subhanaw taala knows what we're going to say but still, he listens. So beautiful. Exactly. Allah knows what we're going to say but still he listens to us because he's a Samir.
Unfortunately, there is mashallah a lot of Muslims because different people believe in different things and mashallah, they're all believers. But sadly, sometimes you see there is more hatred more division happens. And as we are reading it, it seemed like those are shutdowns ways, because Chapin work differently
to different people. And as we hear it, it comes from every direction. And it makes you feel like you're doing the right thing. So people become more shrouded in whatever belief they have. But Allah Tala has asked us to be more loving to other Muslims. So we just read about it a talk in an essence way. So we do not have to get into the conversation that is not like really divide us more. We can do our own thing and an s&p and Dubois and not make those kinds of topics. As matter of discussion where we divide us even more, and bring other people more closer. Many times that happens, people are talking about their bad experiences with other people or give bad names to each other are
telling or you do this different. I'm not saying to adapt everything, but I'm just saying we need to be more accepting and loving. Because even Allah Allah has said somewhere that how different people were divided when they were muslims and Allah Tala, when you bring them to each other. The thing is that these differences are there. But that doesn't mean that everything is okay. Allah's penalty has also told us the help and he has also told us what falsehood is. So our job is to seek the hug, and tell others about it as well. However, in doing that, let's not forget our son speech. And let's not forget the focus, that our focus in such conversations should not be to defeat the other in argument
and to speak rudely to them. Our focus should be what to bring them back to worshiping Allah alone, asking him alone,
Samaniego, this very Subhanallah touches my heart because especially when Allah says Here we are doing Ramadan that we're wanting to Allah's mercy. I was once in a time when my life were, you know what the sister said, like I would ask people who are righteous please make that off for me until this verse that links to the sweater that I always remember. And so that summer, verse 53, that Oh, my servants, those who transgressed against themselves, those who crossed the limits, those who have sinned, you know, do not like do not vary from Allah's mercy. Yeah, like, Well, yeah, but they live in a sort of island for some Nutana to Don't give up hope from Allah subhanaw taala is mercy Allah
forgives everything. And it linked to me like these two verses where you're doing armato even though you sin a lot, even though you did so much, never give up on Allah subhanaw taala he's always there to listen to you. You know, in Hadith, we learned so many Hadees that have been merited around this topic, that in the last third of the night, Allah subhanaw taala descends to the lowest sky. And he says, I am the King, I am the king. And he says that is there anyone who is making dua ye do so that I will respond to his dua? Is there any site ill someone who is asking for something begging for something so that I can give him what he's asking for? Is there anyone who's seeking forgiveness so
that I can forgive him? Is there anyone who's repenting so that I can accept his repentance? Is there anyone who was sick? Who wants to be cured? And who would ask me so that I will cure him? Is there anyone who wants risk? More provision asked me so that I will give him so what do we learn from this Hadees that Allah asks us directly? Told us directly ask me or the knee call upon me as the dribbler come? I will answer you direct communication. Sometimes I feel like I'm so small and my sins, you know, they completely just make me so small in front of a lesson and my dad, this one's I just recently, you know, what the time change, it goes back, and then the prayer when you're at
school, you tend to miss it. And I was thinking, you know, I've
done things in the past. But like, can you please just give me up face to face so I don't miss my prayers. And so, like, I talked to my guidance counselor, and you will believe it. She gave me an answer. By the end of the day, she was like, you know, there's this empty room, and like, I trust you so you can close the blinds during the day. And you can bring your own prayer mat, or I can give you on that and you can just pray takeout over long you want. No one's gonna disturb you just come and ask for it. And there's gonna be no.
Like I've been through times where I have missed my son. I can admit that because I've asked for forgiveness. And I hope he forgives me.
And it just makes me think that, you know, everyone can overcome this since they've done and I pray that Allah makes it easy for all of us.
You know, Musa Lisanna when he committed murder by accident, what did he say? Well,
a bit fiddly
Oh my Lord forgive me. I'm sorry Forgive me. And you know what the next words are in the ayah fell off Allah. Allah forgive him
Musala sunnah instantly turn to Allah, Allah made a mistake, please forgive me, I'm sorry. And Allah hurt him, he responded to him he forgave him.
Because the barriers that are there between us and Allah are those that we have put those that we have placed
our sins.
And when a person overcomes those barriers, he wants to go closer to Allah, He takes one step and what happens, Allah will take 10 steps towards him a summary come, I was just thinking that even us like our subconscious mind knows that when there's no other hope we turn to Allah that it was remembered I read a cartoon. And they showed a Muslim girl and there's a non Muslim girl and they were walking. And then the non Muslim girl was going on a rant about you know, they can possibly be no God and this and that. And the Muslim goes quietly walking with it. And suddenly a car comes quickly. And then the girls move back in the non Muslim guy says, Oh, God, and the girl was like
you're saying, because even when we don't realize our subconscious mind knows that you know, when there's no other hope, a part of us even though we don't give importance, that part and knows that no matter when there's nobody else. Internally Allah put that in us that we will turn to Him and Allah is just reminding us of that. mean so many different languages people have these expressions, right? about remembering God at a time of difficulty. I read this quote the other day, I can't remember exactly how it went. But it was when you think that Allah subhanaw taala won't forgive you. It's basically like you're setting yourself up higher than him because he's telling you that he is

Allah subhanaw taala a young a club this is what we should really be competing for.
But when it comes to good deeds that draw person closer to Allah, what do we say? Yeah, Mashallah. She's reciting Quran Good for her. But me, I've just, I'm not going to do it. It's okay for me. Yeah, she's praying her sunnah good for all the sit and wait for her because I'm in no need of good deeds.
Our concern should be what competing in good deeds trying to get closer to Allah. You know, when people are standing together in prayer, at that time, think to yourself, all of us are praying together and Allah is listening to every single person. I want my salah to be the best. I want to perform in the best way so that I am the closest to of love.
