For him, so establish so direct. Now, what is it that we have to do Allah subhanaw taala instructs us over here for him. So establish so direct what Hakka your face. Lit Dini for the religion, honey fun as Hanif as inclining, towards the troops. For updates over here is a command and instruction being given to who to the one who's listening. This IO was first recited to the prophets of Allah in Islam, right this idea was brought to the prophets on a loss and he was the first recipient so all prophets of Allah who already was salam, you should have him and after the Prophet salallahu Salam every person who hears this up him so the command is for every single one of us what is it that we

So it's been established to everybody get up and stand in rows form your rows right foot to foot shoulder to shoulder right stop your conversations, because now you have to establish what the follow up all right. So, I came meaning establish fix set right all right. What is it that you should fix? What is it that you should direct? What you Hukka your face? So fix your face towards a particular direction. Now what does it mean by this OChem wedge hookah it come out and watch the establishing of the face towards something means to pay attention towards something all right it

means to direct one's focus on something to set something as your purpose your goal All right. So up in what do haka meaning your goal your purpose now should be what lit Dean Levine the religion, which religion, religion that is Hanif hannifin.

All right. Now, what does it mean by being over here? Which religion is this? Islam because in the dinar in the Allahu Islam, the religion in the sight of Allah the only religion is which one Islam the true religion and Hanifa. Now, Hanif and over here can be understood in two ways. First of all, that you should direct your face towards this religion meaning make this religion your goal, okay, how while you are Hanif as honey, so, honey fun is your state, you should be Hanif and who is Hanif, one who is sincere to Allah, an absolute monotheist one who doesn't ascribe any partners with Allah. Whenever you think of Hanif think of Ibrahim Ernestina. All right, who was Ibrahim on Instagram?

Who was he is Kerala Hora boo Aslam Cara Islam to little bit anime, his way of life, his creed his Mila was what of submission to Allah, right? of leaving everything else, but Allah meaning not associating any partner with Allah, not oneself not one's family, not one's child, nothing. Right. Secondly, Hanif over here can also be understood as the religion which is Hanif a dean, which is Hanif.

All right, the Dean which is inclining to truth. And what is that Deen? Which Quran teaches? The deen is all about teaching us that only Allah is deserving of worship, right? That worship is exclusively for Allah the most perfect attributes are for who for Allah alone. So a theme watch hacker lit dini. Hanifa you see so many colors of shake in the world, what do you have to do? What do you have to do? You have to establish your face, towards who Allah alone. Your goal should be who Allah alone. You should be Hanif for Allah, not associating anything, any partner with Allah for octave wedge Hakka dini. Hanifa, and you see something interesting over here, watch is mentioned,

right? It's like if your face is this way up, and when you hook up, let's shake meaning turn your face and just focus on that. You understand? Like for example, you

If a child is trying to do His work, and he's looking here and looking, they're looking there, what do you tell them? Focus, right? Look at your book.

Look at your book. Why look at your book? Because if you will look at it, only then will you do it, isn't it? If you're looking everywhere else, can you focus on your work? No, this is why in class also, who should our face be? towards what?

towards what? The book or the teacher? Right? Not here and there. And back there. And on the phone? No. Okay. What Jacqueline dini? Hanifa. And you see, the thing is that wherever your face goes, your whole body will go in that direction, isn't it? Because in your face is what? Your eyes. So whatever direction you're going to turn your face towards? What's going to happen, your eyes are going to look in that direction. Correct. When you're looking in that direction, whatever you're seeing whatever you're looking at, that's going to occupy your mind, isn't it?

And then once your mind is occupied by that, what are you going to hear? What are you going to admire everything that's linked to that. So in life in general, your face should be directed to who your attention should be towards who towards what? A Dini Hanifa. Alright, and Dean remember Dean doesn't just mean religion, it also means worship. Your life should be about worshipping Allah subhanaw taala in na sila T one Oh, Sookie, Wilmer Hale, Rama Murthy. lillahi, Rabbil aalameen.

And this is something so interesting, because, you know, it's like you read a passage from the Quran, you read a good book, you listen to a good lecture and you're motivated to, you know, make your intention sincere for Allah and you start working in that direction, but then what happens? You get distracted. Alright, and then you get distracted again, and then you get distracted again. So each time you find yourself turning away, swerving away, honey visible comes back. All right, so again, what Hakala dini? Hanifa this should be your focus. And why? Why worshiping Allah only why? Because it is futile. It is the natural disposition, Allah He of Allah, Allah T which Fatah Allah,

he created a NASA the people are lay her on it.

This Deen Hanif is the fitrah this religion of though he is the fitrah which fitrah the fitrah on which Allah created people. Now what is fitrah mean? fitrah is from the root letters felt for wrong Satara and what does that mean to tear open, right? Fatah literally means to tear open and Fatah from this photo is also used for halacha. Alright, so fit throughout Allah He Letty Fatah, NESARA Liga fatahna means halacha This is the natural disposition on which Allah has created people. Okay. Now the term Fidra what is fitrah? natural disposition? All right.

So you can understand this as that fitrah is the original state that Allah has created people upon.

Okay, you see, every creature has a natural disposition. Alright, natural way that it has been created on meaning, no matter where you put it, it's going to do what it was meant to do what it was created for. Right? Like for example, flies.

Who teaches them, okay, fly like this?

Who teaches them? Their mothers teach them know their mothers probably have died before they've even come out of the show. Right? Fish, they'll swim. Turtles, the moment they come out of their nest, you know, they dig themselves out of the sand, where are they headed to towards the water? How do they know because this is how Allah subhanaw taala has created them, this is how they were programmed. Correct. So human beings also we have also been created on a certain nature and that is what that is FIFRA and Allah tells us that the religion which religion that teaches us to worship Allah alone, that is the natural disposition on which people were created, meaning people were

created with this ingrained within them that Allah is my Lord, and I am to worship him. People are born with this born with this programming.

You understand? Like for example, many gadgets the moment you will turn them on for the

First time brand new, you open it for the first time, right? It's gonna prompt you to do certain things and lead you towards setting it up properly. How why? How does it know?

How does it know it was built that way? It was programmed that way. You understand? So human beings have also been programmed in a certain way. How is it that we have been programmed that we should worship Allah alone that Allah is our Lord? All right, this is the fitrah.

Why is it called fitrah? What does Fatah mean literally to tear open? Right? So scholars say that it's called fitrah. Because it's as though Allah opened us all right, and put this natural disposition within us inside of us.

You understand? Like for example, a phone, you open it, and you put the sim inside it, right? Gadget, you open it, you put that chip inside it.

Alright, so when you put the sim inside when you put the chip inside or wherever you open it anywhere in the world, it's going to ask you certain questions, right? So that you can set it up properly. So this fitrah is ingrained. It's within us. Okay, fifth Allah Tala he, Letty Fatah, renessa, Arleta, Allah says, letaba de la, there should be no changing li calcula for the creation of Allah, meaning the creation of Allah which creation is being spoken off in this idea, human beings, right? The creation of Allah, human beings, they have been created as will servants. Allah servants, right? That is our purpose. We have to be Allah servants, we have to worship Allah. This

is our function in this life to be Allah servants. So letaba de la le Hulk, Allah, there should be no changing of this creation, meaning, to change the role of the human being from being Allah slave to someone else's slave would be changing the creation of Allah, how you're changing the function, you're changing its function, you're changing its purpose. You understand? So let them do the calcula. You see anything that has been built for a certain cause? Right? If you change it, are you not going to corrupt it?

If you change it, are you going to corrupt it? Yes.

So once you corrupt it mean it's ruined. So as human beings we have been created for the worship of Allah. If we change that in us, we don't worship Allah, we worship something else, whether it is our own desire our mind, science or anything else. That is what corrupting us that is destroying ourselves that is harming ourselves. There Lika dean will pay him the Delica that a dean will pay him the correct religion.

By him over here means correct that which is straight and proper, correct. How is it the correct religion? Because

it's the religion that is decreed by along with our kin UCLA NASCI lair Allah moon, but most of the people do not know. What is it that they don't know.

The correct religion? Deen Islam, the religion of Islam is natural religion, it's the religion of this universe. You understand? Because this entire universe is whose creation Allah's creation right. So every creature has been created for a certain goal for a certain purpose for certain function. And ultimately it is serving who? Allah subhanaw taala. What Eman che in Illa? You sat behind, right? It's doing the sphere of Allah. It's serving Allah and human beings also we have been created for the worship of Allah also, how do we know that? This is the fitrah? So what is fitrah?

Let me wake you up a little bit. What is fitrah? Raise your hand? Yes.

Okay, good natural disposition that we were created with and what is that?

To worship Allah, this is something that we were programmed with. This is built in.

You understand? It's within our system. It's built in.

Okay. And why is it called fitrah?

Exactly. It's as if Allah has opened us in and put that inside of us. All right, so it's within us. Can you take it out? Can you pull it out, but you cannot pull it out? Okay. So Dean Hanif Dean Islam is a nature given by Allah upon which Allah has created mankind.

All right. This is why adhere to it. This is why I came what? jacala dini? Hanifa. Because if you don't adhere to it, then you would destroy yourself. Okay. So from this idea, what we understand is that that though he is something natural and instinctive within human beings, what is the heat? something natural, instinctive within human beings? This is why we see that people have always turned towards worship, isn't it? No matter how far back you go in history, all right, the earliest civilizations also, what do we find over there traces of some kind of deities, right, that people worship something. This is why it is said that if you take a bunch of babies and throw them on an

island, all right, and you leave them, you let them be isolated from the rest of the world, they will probably grow up believing in some kind of a god.

This will definitely be within them. You know, it's amazing. Do you ever see, you know, cows making an idol? Monkeys making an idol. Really? Do you see that? Is there any such example of other creatures in this world making an idol making an object of worship? No, there's so many things that are common between human beings and other creatures in this world. Like, for example, we all eat, right? We all have families, some form of procreation, right? We migrate for different reasons. We collect food, we make homes, isn't it? But when it comes to worship, isn't that something exclusive to human beings? Why? Because human beings were built with this, Allah subhanaw taala created people

with this inbuilt system that you must worship. Alright, so fitrah is Islam. The natural disposition is one that we surrender to, to Allah.

All right, and what's the proof of this? You see, in Hadith, we learned that when Allah subhanaw taala created Adam or they sent him all right. And Allah blew the roof into other money center.

When the roof so basically, when life reached the nose of other organism, he sneezed.

Okay, meaning as soon as his nose came alive, he sneezed. And when he sneezed, he said Alhamdulillah

those were the first words that came out of Adam or Islam's mouth, what words Alhamdulillah meaning he woke up knowing that Allah is my Lord. You understand? He woke up, he came to life, knowing that Allah is my Lord. It wasn't that other listener. You know, you woke up, his eyes are open, and he's wondering, who am I? What am I? You understand, he knew, he knew who he was, I am Allah servant, Allah is my Lord.

Okay. And then we see this, that in Hadith we learned the prophets of Allah Islam said that every child is born upon the fifth row.

It is only his parents who turn him into something else, a Christian Jew, something else. And he gave an example, that just as animals are born having full bodies, do you see any of them having a cut off knows when they're born? Because this is what the Arabs used to do, that they would have an animal, all right, and what they would do is they would cut off a one year put a slit in one of the ears or cut off the nose or something like that. Right? So the original state of the animal is what Allah subhanaw taala has created it on, and then people corrupted it.

Right? In Hadees, we also learned that Allah subhanaw taala says that I have created all my servants as high enough up all people are born as well as who as Hana fat, then the shale clean came to them and lead them astray from their religion.

Understand, so when we look at, you know, ancient civilizations, and we wonder how come they worshipped idols, well, they worship idols because it started off with worshipping Allah because that is what people are built on. But then what happened Shayateen came and led people astray. They said, the sun is your God or the moon is your God or what you've made with your own hands is your God or this human being is your God or this person who died is your God or this tree is your God and so on and so forth. So many forms of * came up. So I created all my servants is one of them, the devil came to them and lead them astray from their religion. All right, so what does this ayah teach

us?

Fatma what does this teach us? Tell me one thing you learned from this, it's a very important idea. Because when you study anything to do with religion, right nature or nurture or anything like that, these questions will come up.

People will ask you or you will ask yourself, How do I know Islam is right? All right, go ahead.

It's basically like it's everyone is great on fedora. I like how you said everyone went on Pitzer? Yes. Yeah. So Adam was on when he came alive. He said the first words he says, Welcome, do that. So, it was and that's also why we always said, when someone sees and it's, we're already like, when we're creating it's in our headlines, but it's what we hear from others in the chatroom that come and change us exactly. That human beings are born with the recognition of Allah and you see over here women it women it why to shake that inner state to wake it up, because there's so many covers on it so many veils on it, so you have to shake them off. Do you recognize Allah subhanaw taala All

right, go ahead. I found a really cool how, like generations after generation, like humans have always worshipped whatever their worship though. It's always been part of them. And like, even people who don't believe in, like God, they have like meditation and all these like little things they try to do to make up for it, you know? Yeah. And you see, when you study the Quran, you don't find many is discussing the existence of Allah subhanaw taala you will find many is proving the Oneness of Allah. All right, the perfection of Allah, hence, Allah's oneness. All right, but we don't find any philosophical proofs proving that there is a God. All right, why? Because this is

something that people have always accepted. The atheism you could say is a new phenomenon. Right? There has never been a society in the past that didn't believe in a God. There was always some form of belief. Okay. Federal what it teaches us that Allah is our Lord, we have a God. All right. And we don't need to prove Allah's existence. We just know it. It's just within us. You know, so many people, if you ask them, Do you believe in a God? They will say, No, but I do believe in some higher being. Right? I know that there is someone, someone out there, right? fit that also teaches us morality, what is good, what is bad, which is why we see that no matter what religion people are

from a majority of the times they will agree on what is good, what is bad. Murder is bad. Right? Charity is good, isn't it? Lying is bad. Honesty is good. Breaking your promises is bad. Keeping your promises is good. Right? So the thought teaches us morality also.

And also fitrah, it teaches us conscience, it makes us more, you know, aware. And like for example, if a person has done something wrong, he will feel guilt in his heart. You don't have to be Muslim to feel bad about your wrong actions. Everybody feels that. Right? You sense that? So this is a sign of what fitrah there's something common between human beings, morality, conscience, God, all of these themes being common between people, it shows that there's something natural that all people were born with, and that is fitrah. And what it teaches us is to be Hanif to Allah subhanaw taala. And more of that comes in the next IO, which is money Bina e Lahey money, Vina la Himani bien is a

plural of Muneeb, who is Muneeb one who does in ABA in ABA known while but to turn and repeatedly turn. So Muneeb is one who repeatedly turns again and again.

So in the previous IO, we were instructed up in what jacala dini Hanifa, direct you're face to the correct religion, direct your face to the worship of Allah alone. But what happens? Does your face get distracted? Turn to the right and maybe to the left, it happens. So Allah says, As you establish your face, be a Muneeb Mooney Bina once turning back la he to him due to Allah subhanaw taala alone, meaning each time you find yourself distracted from Allah, bring yourself back to Allah. And you see Muneeb it just shows that our whole life is about turning back to Allah.

This is the life of someone who has surrendered to Allah.

Turning your face to Allah doesn't mean that once you are on this religion, then you become a perfect human being and you'll never make a mistake. No, it means you've started on this journey. And there will be distractions. There will be mistakes, there will be shortcomings, but what do you do each time you despair

When you give up you say it's too difficult. No, any dip any turning away. What do you have to do? Bring yourself back on track.

This is the life of a Muslim bringing yourself back on track. Mooney, Bina Alaihe because your goal is Allah. Well, Pema salata and established the salah, while at akuna minal Mushrikeen and do not be of those who associate partners with Allah. What does this ayah teach us?

It gives us hope. Good. What else does it teach us?

Exactly. I mean, this is a proof that Allah is indeed our Creator. This Quran is indeed the speech of Allah. Because it shows that Allah knows us. Right? That we start something and we get distracted. Right? We start something and we mess up. So each time that's gonna happen, we are being taught over here turned back to Allah. Which means that no sin is too big to repent from, is it? Go ahead.

Yes, it also shows to us Allah subhanaw taala is mercy how?

Who will give you a chance to come back? Who will?

Someone who can forgive

and who is it that forgives Allah?

Exactly the door of Toba. The door of Dora is open as long as we are alive. Yes.

Exactly. Very good point that money being a lady not just with words, okay? But also through actions which actions okay with Salah established the prayer because Salah is your connection with Allah. And notice, we have to pray five times a day because five times a day Salah teaches us, come back to Allah. Come back to Allah.

Right? Think about Allah. Be sincere to Allah seek forgiveness from Allah. When he Bina la he, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the angel on the left, hold his pen from recording the sin of a Muslim for six south. Okay? Meaning when a Muslim makes a mistake, a sin. Then what happens? The angel was supposed to record that sin he holds his spend back for how long? Six hours. Now? How long are those six hours? Not necessarily 60 minute long each hour? No, it could be longer could be shorter Allah who are them. All right. But the angel holds his spin back meaning he doesn't record it immediately. If the Muslim regrets and asks Allah for forgiveness, then the angel does not record

that sin.

Otherwise he records it as one sin.

You understand that if a person commits a sin, and then he turns back to Allah, the sin is not even recorded.

You have six hours to repent.

He understand.

And if you don't repent, then what will happen the sin will be recorded as only one sin. In a hadith we learned that Allah says yeah everybody in the come to the owner be Laylee when the How will an oil field don't obey Jamia for still Filoni fiddler, comb all my servants usin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of me and I shall forgive you.

And another Hadees We also learn that a net Matoba net them regret is repentance. Meaning the moment you start feeling regret, I shouldn't have said that I shouldn't have done it. I should have done this on time. I should have done this earlier. So on and so forth. This regret that is the beginning of October. So Mooney Bina la he turned back to Allah how to repent to Allah, how a female Salah over here is mentioned right? In Hadith also we learned that there is no servant who commits a sin and then performs will do properly and then he performs steward accom and seeks Allah's forgiveness except that ALLAH will forgive him

of the ways of turning back to Allah seeking Allah's forgiveness as what how do you do it? Do will do and perform how many cards to and seek Allah's forgiveness. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said men had bitten the soul Rahul Sahifa, who fell uke sylphy Hermina is still foul. He who likes who wants that his register his book of deeds should please him.

Do you want that the next time you receive your test paper the moment you see it, you become

I'm happy. Do you want that? Who wants it? That when you see your test paper, when you look at your test paper, it puts a smile on your face. The rest of you don't want it to stress out the please make a note of that.

You want it right.

That the moment you see it, you become happy. So the person who wants that his Register of Deeds should please him that the moment he looks at it, he's like, I'm glad. Then what should he do? filioque sarahfey her middle is the fall then he should fill it with istilah

he should do a lot of is to fall. A lot of Inaba. A lot of turning back to Allah. A lot of seeking forgiveness. Fill it with that because when you will fill it with that the moment you see your register, you will be delighted. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said good news for the one who found a lot of is still fall in his book of deeds. Money Vina la he

What the Oh who and fear him part of the stock will also right fear Allah be conscious of him and established the prayer while at Taco nominal mushy, keen and do not be of those who associate partners with Allah, who are the mushy keen, those who have forgotten who Allah is. Because when a person forgets Allah's reality, then he associates partners with Allah. Because as long as a person remembers, my Lord is the only Holic My Lord is the Malik. He alone is the one who has control over the affairs of this universe. When a person remembers Allah's reality then he can never associate a partner with Allah.

So who are the machete keen? Allah says Meena Alladhina they are of those who amongst those people who found Rupal Dena home for Rocco, they divided Dina home their religion Farakka you firstly put the flick right to cause separation to cause division that something was one, but then you cut it up, you divided it up this is this this is that this is this, this is that.

So what is it that they divided? their religion, their religion, meaning their worship? Meaning they got distracted from Allah. And their goal became someone other than Allah.

Their goal became someone other than Allah. So their focus in life, their objective in life was who? Allah's pleasure, no, something else. So follow Codina home, what can she are, and as a result, they became into Shia and sects, different groups. Because think about it, what is it that unites us our belief in Allah? Right? You believe in Allah, I believe in Allah that makes us same that makes us similar that makes us one that keeps us together. Right? But the moment someone says, I worship something else, besides Allah, then are you in them on the same page? No, you're not in the same page anymore division. She on sex. She on his opponent of the word she and we have done this word

earlier in a lot of detail. Right in the story of Musa artisan Shah is to spread, right? Shaolin like for example, camels have spread, right? And che Yeah, I'll even is to gather the camels how that the shepherd would blow into his special read pipe and when hearing that sound, the camels would gather together, okay, they would assemble in one place. So found this Shira is a separate and distinct party of people. Why because they agree together on something. So Shira is a group of people that have combined in an affair who conform with one another who have combined who have come together in a certain matter. All right, so what can oh she on the turn into divided groups could

not has been each group, be Mariela de him with that, which they have free home? Ones who rejoice? Meaning each group is rejoicing with what it has the word has. This is singular of the word Isaiah, what does his mean has been a company of people, a group of people that have assembled on account of an event that has befallen them alright, so people that have come together why? Because of something that has come their way it's used for a group of people that agree in their hearts in their actions even if they're not together in one place but they're together in their hearts in their actions. All right, so could Lou has been be melody him for at home? What do we learn from

This, Allah subhanaw taala created people up on fifth row, that you should worship only one God. What happened? People got distracted diverted from this fifth row, they found something else, they fell in love with something else. And they made that object their God. Once that happened, mankind that was upon one religion became divided. And so there are so many religions now, and all these different religions, what do they show the different faces of schicke? So what does Allah say? Don't get caught up in this mess. Don't get caught up in this mess. What is it that you have to do? Your goal should be who Allah alone.

Allah alone. It is the belief and though hate which unites us and Schilke is something that

that divides us. Alright. And over here she on his bed refers to the different groups of people over time, like the Jews, the Christians, so on and so forth. So we are being prohibited over here from following their footsteps presentation, but the Morgiana curly Dini Hanifa fifth all done long eulogy give up on
