How to be laying the ship on your rajim Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Surah two Soph I am number one to four

00:00:07--> 00:00:14

surah the self is another new surah and it has 14 verses and about 900 Hoof

00:00:15--> 00:00:29

this surah a soft What does a soft mean? Rose, this surah reiterates the same message that is common to all of the sorrows of the streets which is supporting the deen aid in the deen of Allah

00:00:30--> 00:00:37

being of the Hezbollah and at the same time, maintaining a balance between the as well as Dunia

00:00:38--> 00:00:43

being focused on the Akira, but at the same time not getting swayed by this dunya.

00:00:44--> 00:01:09

And you will notice that in these soldiers, many things are taught which are pertaining to supporting the D working for the D. That first of all, a person's priority should be Allah and His messenger and the deen of Allah. And then a person must also be very sincere in his commitment. And at the same time with sincerity there should also be unity. As we learned earlier,

00:01:10--> 00:01:33

that the example of the unsolvable hygiene, it was given into thresher that how they were so united. And it wasn't just the ensemble hygiene but Allah also gives the example of a Latina double.or Iman and later on well Latina gentlemen bar at the end, meaning the diver in the Tabata ruin all of the later generations, that there must be unity amongst the Muslims.

00:01:34--> 00:01:48

Because in order to support the the Yes, one should be committed himself. Yes, he should be sincere. But at the same time, there must also be unity. Because if people are not united, they cannot work for the same goal.

00:01:50--> 00:01:57

And what is it that brings about unity in people, when they share the same goal when they have the same goal?

00:01:58--> 00:02:37

And remember, in order to stay united, you have to sacrifice a lot. You have to give up your ego. You have to do things which you don't like. You have to accept other people's superiority. But all of this is necessary. Why? In order to support the deen of Allah, we learned earlier that when Docomo rasuluh for who do who woman or her C'mon, who Fanta who why accept the authority of the leader that is necessary and at the same time, believers should also be united themselves, because without it, the work of the Dean cannot go forward.

00:02:39--> 00:03:13

Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Subhan Allah Hema for summer wordy when I fill out the whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. It exalts Allah, or whoever Aziz and Hakeem and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise, spirit of self is also of the Musa Behat. And it begins with Saba that Glorified is Allah. Exalted is Allah, perfect is Allah and everything in the heavens and the earth, accepts his glory.

00:03:14--> 00:03:20

Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him and He is Aziz and also hurricane.

00:03:22--> 00:03:48

Yeah, you have ladina mono, or you have believed limita coluna mulata falloon Why do you say that which you do not do? All you who have believed Lima taco Luna Lima, this is a combination of Li and Ma Li is after allele, Lanta allele and Ma the SMA is actually abbreviated for Ma is of SF home.

00:03:49--> 00:04:00

So Lima together, for what reason? Why, for what purpose? Why is it that the coluna you say my letter for alone what you do not do?

00:04:01--> 00:04:05

Meaning Why is there a discrepancy in your words and actions?

00:04:07--> 00:04:10

Why is it that your words and actions are not coherent?

00:04:11--> 00:04:16

Why is it that you say one thing and you do something else?

00:04:17--> 00:04:24

If you think about it, having a discrepancy in words and actions meaning a person says something else and does something else, what is this

00:04:25--> 00:04:34

a moral defect? This shows that a person is not honest. This shows that a person is being treacherous, that he is not trustworthy, he is not reliable.

00:04:36--> 00:04:46

And if a person has such a moral defect, then that is a sign of moral decline. And when people are suffering from moral decline that they cannot work dedicatedly for a mission.

00:04:47--> 00:04:58

So Lima taco Luna mela tough Arun, why is it that you say that which you do not do? Meaning say that which you do, and do that which you say you will do?

00:05:00--> 00:05:10

We learned that once Abdullah bin Salam, and some other companions were sitting together, and they said, If we only knew the dearest could actions to Allah we would perform them.

00:05:12--> 00:05:44

If we could only come to know what is it that Allah loves a lot? If we could come to know about those actions, we will do them. So what happened? Allah subhanaw taala inform them about the dearest actions to him how we learned in this ayah in Allah your Hibou Ladino ukata Luna visa vie USofA, cut unknown banana Marceau's that Allah loves those people who fight in his way, how together in rows as if they are a firm structure. So in other words, Allah inform the people about what he likes,

00:05:45--> 00:05:50

what is of the most dearest actions to him and witches, fighting in the way of Allah.

00:05:52--> 00:05:56

Now, fighting in the way of Allah, is that something easy to do?

00:05:57--> 00:06:07

It's not something easy to do. It's very difficult. And we see that the believers initially when they were not allowed to fight, how badly they wanted to fight in the way of Allah.

00:06:08--> 00:06:35

But later on when the command was given, there were some people who were hesitant. Some people who weren't willing, and this has mentioned many times in the Quran, for example, in truth Muhammad I had 20 We learn way Akula Latina Avenue, Lola no zealot Surah for either on Zillow to rotten mahkamah tone. Where do que Rafi hell Peterloo or eight Alladhina fue Karoubi him Maradona young Runa la Canales oral Moshe here I laid him in a mode

00:06:37--> 00:06:38

meaning they didn't want to fight.

00:06:39--> 00:07:04

Similarly in certain missa 77 We learned and I'm thorough in Alladhina kala home Khufu idea come with a primo salata wa to zurka, Fela Kuti Barilla he will Peterloo either for you coming home your shoulder NASA Kakashi Attila oh shut the hacia will call Robina Lima cassava Elena Alcatel Lola a Horta, Anna in a Gillian curry.

00:07:05--> 00:07:24

So the believers they initially requested this is what they desire. This is what they want it to fight in the way of Allah and they wanted to do those actions which please Allah. But when they were told, this is what you have to do. They weren't exactly ready. They were hesitant. They stayed back, some of them.

00:07:25--> 00:07:30

So over here, Allah subhanaw taala. He says Lima taco, Luna moneta.

00:07:32--> 00:07:47

Now, although behind the revelation of this ayah is a particular incident, which is the one that I just mentioned, you have those companions, who were expressing their desire to know that which Allah likes, however, remember that in this as a lesson for everyone,

00:07:48--> 00:07:51

in this as a lesson for all believers, for all of us,

00:07:53--> 00:08:20

we see that sometimes we're very enthusiastic about something. We're very emotional. And out of that enthusiasm, out of that love out of that emotion, we make great claims. We make big commitments, and we say, tell us what to do. And we'll do it. Give us anything, we'll do it any work you give me, I'll do it. But when actually the work is given, then we say, No, I think I'm too busy.

00:08:21--> 00:08:44

No, I don't think this suits me. No, I think I'm worth more. It happens sometimes. That out of enthusiasm, we say big things, we make great claims. But when the time to act comes, then what happens? Our eagerness is not there anymore. It has all it has left us and we find it very difficult to do those actions.

00:08:45--> 00:09:23

So over here, Allah says Lima, the cooloola malata Arun, why do you say that which you do not do? Why did you say you will do it and when the time comes to do it, you're not doing it. Because this attitude does not suit the believers. It does not suit a sincere believer who is a sincere believer that there is no discrepancy in his words and actions. Whatever he says he does it. If he makes a commitment, he fulfills it. If he makes a promise, He fulfills it. And this promise could be with people and it could also be with Allah subhanaw taala.

00:09:24--> 00:09:59

We learn in total Ursa 23. Allah subhanaw taala describes the true believers as what mineral movement in a region alone, solder coma I heard Allah I lay among the believers are men, true to what they promised Allah. among the believers are those men who are true to the promise that they made with Allah, they made promises with Allah, and they actually fulfilled them. They promised that they would spend in his way and when the time came, they actually spent in his way, they promised that they would fight in his way and when the time came

00:10:00--> 00:10:01

They actually did that,

00:10:02--> 00:10:15

from in home and Pavana, who among them is he who has fulfilled his vow? his vow, meaning among them as he who has even given up his life for the sake of Allah meaning he has been martyred

00:10:16--> 00:10:31

women who may until it, oh am I but the luta buddy Videla, and there are others who are still awaiting who are still waiting for their promise to be fulfilled. Meaning it's not that they have changed their mind. No, they're still committed.

00:10:32--> 00:10:51

Oh, am I a bit deluded with the law and they did not alter the terms of their commitment by any alteration. So the true believers are who, when they make a promise with Allah, when they make a commitment, what do they do? They fulfill it. They don't turn away. They don't break their promise.

00:10:53--> 00:11:05

So limit the coluna mulata falloon. Big because this does not suit you. This does not suit a true believer, someone who claims to love Allah. Whatever he says to Allah, He will do it.

00:11:06--> 00:11:15

So why is this being said over here that don't be like this? Don't have this kind of attitude. Limit Hakuna Matata, falloon.

00:11:17--> 00:11:28

Kabbalah Makaton are in the law he grid is hatred in the sight of Allah and kolomela for alone, that you say what you do not do?

00:11:29--> 00:11:41

Kabbalah it's very great. It's very serious. It's very heavy. It's major, what is major Makaton in anger in aversion, in hatred.

00:11:42--> 00:12:02

What is very great in hatred are in the law in the sight of Allah and the kolomela tough I know that you say that which you do not do. Meaning if you say something that you're going to do it and later on you don't do Who are you upsetting? Who are you making extremely angry with you? Allah subhanaw taala

00:12:03--> 00:12:09

so when you say things and you don't do them, this has greatly loathsome in the sight of Allah.

00:12:11--> 00:12:17

Greatly hated in the sight of Allah Kabbalah mochten are in the law he and Dakolo Meloetta volume.

00:12:19--> 00:12:26

Now remember that limit Hakuna Matata fall under kolomela. To follow this can take many shapes and forms.

00:12:27--> 00:12:41

First of all, it is that a person says something, he makes a commitment, but then later he does not fulfill it. He says he will do something. He makes a promise, but then he doesn't do it.

00:12:42--> 00:12:47

In truth Meriam if 54 We learn about Ismar eel or hey Salam,

00:12:48--> 00:12:57

Allah subhanaw taala says about him welcome Phil Kitabi is married in who kind of saw the Kanwar or the war can or Sula Nebia

00:12:58--> 00:13:26

Ismar Isla Alesund I'm How was he 30 can work true to his promise, any promises that he made? He fulfilled them. Allah subhanaw taala praises a smart eLearning Center that when he said he will do something he did it. And what's the evidence of that? When his father asked him that what do you say this is a dream that I had? What did he say? Yeah, but it if I were to do whatever you have been instructed.

00:13:27--> 00:14:11

And it wasn't that at that time, he became very enthusiastic. And you know, he had an eemaan Rush. And he said yes, yes, Father, go ahead, sacrifice me slaughtering me. And when the time to slaughter came, he hit he ran away? No, he was there. Both of them submitted, saw the local word, Ibrahim Hassan, how was he? Allah subhanaw taala tested him with some kalimat. For utter Mohan. He completed them he perfected them, meaning everything that Allah subhanaw taala instructed him to do. Ibrahim Hassan did it even if it was extremely, extremely difficult, and very painful, but he did it why? Because Allah had said to him a slim and he had said a slim to little pyramid. So when he said Islam

00:14:11--> 00:14:14

too little bla bla mean, it's a very beautiful statement.

00:14:15--> 00:14:36

However, he fulfilled it. So limit Hakuna Matata, falloon What does it mean? First of all, that a person says something makes a commitment says he will do something, but then he doesn't do it. This is something that is greatly hated by Allah. What does Allah like? That when you say you're going to do something, you actually do it?

00:14:37--> 00:14:49

In total Israa io 34 We learn whoa Formula D in the cannabis hola and fulfill every commitment. Indeed the commitment is ever that about which one will be questioned.

00:14:51--> 00:14:59

And remember that commitments they can be of two types. One are those that we make with people and the other are those that we make with Allah subhanaw taala

00:15:00--> 00:15:01

Here's the

00:15:03--> 00:15:08

so when it comes to those commitments that we make with people, promises that we make with them, what should we do?

00:15:10--> 00:15:11

We should fulfill them.

00:15:13--> 00:15:16

And when it comes to the promises, the commitments that we make with the deen of Allah,

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

with Allah subhanaw, taala, even those, what should we do? We should fulfill them. Now give me some examples of promises that we make with people commitments that we make with people. Like for example, and appointment, if you have to cancel it, cancel it, but don't just not show up. Because when you don't show up, you heard many people.

00:15:38--> 00:15:49

I went to a clinic recently and it was said, when you miss an appointment, it hurts three people, you that you didn't get to see the doctor. Secondly, the doctor himself why?

00:15:51--> 00:15:54

Why do you think so? Because it's a waste of their time.

00:15:55--> 00:15:58

And thirdly, another patient who could have taken your time slot.

00:15:59--> 00:16:05

But you took that time it was reserved for you. That's why nobody else could take it.

00:16:06--> 00:16:07

So it hurts three people.

00:16:08--> 00:16:09

What other promises,

00:16:11--> 00:16:40

commitments that we make with people that we must fulfill. Like, for example, we say to children, I'll give this to you. I'll give that to you. That when you've said that, you're going to do it, when you said that you're going to give it then give it you remember that incident where a woman called her child and she said she will give him something and the Prophet salallahu salam after that you're gonna give it or not something like that. So what does that have these show to us? That even with children, whatever promises we make, we must fulfill them.

00:16:42--> 00:16:44

Similarly, what other commitments do we make with people?

00:16:46--> 00:17:00

Like for example, we will help them we will support them, we will come at a certain time and help them out with particular work that they're doing. So any commitment that is made with people, what is our responsibility that we must fulfill it?

00:17:01--> 00:17:05

Now commitments with Allah subhanaw taala with the deen of Allah? What does that include?

00:17:07--> 00:17:16

For example, the five pillars when a person becomes a Muslim, he agrees to do certain things. So Lima taco Luna, Violetta falloon. Why do you say that you're Muslim and you don't be a Muslim?

00:17:18--> 00:17:18

What else

00:17:20--> 00:17:22

anything to do with serving the deen of Allah like

00:17:23--> 00:17:34

that, for example, a person says that they will take a particular course they will be regular, they will do the assignments, they will take the tests, they will be regular, they will come on time leave on time,

00:17:35--> 00:17:38

not early, not late.

00:17:39--> 00:17:51

So, this is what a commitment and that commitment must also be fulfilled. And if a person does not fulfill that, then this is very hateful in whose sight in the sight of Allah.

00:17:53--> 00:18:11

He has other people they won't like you Fine. Forget about other people. But imagine even Allah does not like it and look at the word McDON. What is marked hatred, a version. When you hate what the other is doing, you don't like it at all. You know what else the word marked has been used for in the Quran.

00:18:13--> 00:18:14

Marrying who?

00:18:15--> 00:18:38

The ex wife of the Father marrying her is what mochten it's fashion automata and something that Allah hates. So imagine if a person says he will do something and he doesn't do it, he is doing something that is extremely disliked by Allah extremely disliked. What other falls in this commitment with Allah subhanaw taala promise with Allah.

00:18:40--> 00:18:47

Like for example, when a person is in a difficulty, he says Oh Allah, you allow this to happen make this happen and I will do such and such.

00:18:48--> 00:19:04

If only I could become better, if only my health would improve? If only I would find the answer to this question. If only I could get this work done, I will do such and such I will give this Metallica I will spend this much time doing such and such.

00:19:06--> 00:19:14

But when it actually happens, then we don't fulfill the promises. So coupled on McDonough in the light and Dakolo manat of our own.

00:19:15--> 00:19:16

What else?

00:19:18--> 00:19:34

Anything that a person does for the deen he starts it and then he stops. He starts but then he leaves it halfway. He doesn't complete it. Remember the description of the Sahaba Sudoku ma heard of lahardee

00:19:35--> 00:19:45

they were truthful to the promise they made with Allah. That when they said they were going to do something they did it no matter how difficult it was.

00:19:47--> 00:19:54

What is it that stops us from doing that which we said we will do? difficulties, challenges.

00:19:55--> 00:19:58

But remember that difficulties and challenges are a part of life.

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

Some things they are in your control, other things that are beyond your control.

00:20:08--> 00:20:10

Some things you are able to do,

00:20:12--> 00:20:25

even when life becomes difficult, and other things you're not able to do, because of the time that they demand because of the work that is required, you're not able to do. And Allah subhanaw taala knows about the circumstances that you're in.

00:20:26--> 00:20:38

However, you also know what your ability is. Once you've said you're going to do something, once you've made a commitment, then don't leave halfway through completed, fulfill it.

00:20:39--> 00:20:44

Because Lima, tahona, mulata falloon Allah does not like this behavior.

00:20:46--> 00:20:59

You know, sometimes it happens, that a person starts doing something good, and, you know, halfway, he becomes unwell, you become sick, or he gets busy somewhere or something happens when guests come over. That doesn't mean you leave everything. You leave everything.

00:21:00--> 00:21:26

And you just attend to that main thing that has come in your life and has become your main focus. No. You know, like, my mother, she always used to tell me when my son was born, because I was still teacher and at that time, she said to me that look, eating, drinking, going out spending time with a family, doesn't it continue? When a child is born? doesn't continue? Do you stop eating? Do you stop sleeping?

00:21:27--> 00:21:29

Do you start going to parties? No.

00:21:30--> 00:21:35

Then why is it that when a child is born, we say I cannot do this work anymore.

00:21:36--> 00:21:46

I cannot study anymore. I cannot teach anymore. I cannot do this anymore. Yes, it becomes difficult. But you can always adjust it in your life.

00:21:47--> 00:21:57

You can always make adjustments, you can always make changes, you will have to sacrifice for some time, you will have to really take it hard on yourself for some time. But Allah subhanaw taala gives you the ability.

00:21:59--> 00:22:30

Just think about it. Your life doesn't stop otherwise. So why is it that we make the deen stop in our lives? That's not fair. It's not right. So Lima, taco Luna, Violetta falloon. I see some others who are coming to class. And I don't know how to do it. But 100 Allah may Allah subhanaw taala good baraka and their time and their energies in the physical strength, that taking one child to the toilet, taking another child to the toilet, taking another child for lunch break, and they're running back and forth, and yet they're smiling,

00:22:32--> 00:22:42

smiling. This is a big thing. Because when a person has made a commitment with Allah and remember, it is a commitment with Allah, not with other people, you're doing it for your own benefit.

00:22:43--> 00:22:52

So when you are doing it for your own benefit to gain reward from Allah, then you will fulfill the commitment no matter how difficult it becomes, no matter how challenging it becomes.

00:22:53--> 00:23:02

So limita coluna Violetta for goon, when you've made a commitment with Allah fulfill it, Allah does not like it, that you go against your word.

00:23:04--> 00:23:20

Then another way that this happens is that a person advises others, he tells others to do good or to not do something bad, but he himself does different things, meaning he advises others tells others what he himself does not do.

00:23:22--> 00:23:27

Limit the coluna Why do you instruct mulata alone what you don't do yourselves,

00:23:29--> 00:23:44

because a person must practice what he preaches. If a person is just telling other people are not doing good himself, then this is what hypocrisy. And this is bringing about the Wrath of Allah.

00:23:45--> 00:24:24

In total Baqarah I have 44 We learn about the hood attack Morona NASA will be rebirth and Sona and pusaka were unconstitutional. Kita a fella Turkey loon. You are the righteousness of the people you tell people to do good and you forget yourselves while you read the Scripture yourself. It's not that you're ignorant you know? If Allah dark you know that do not reason. We did not use your mind. You're ever in Islam, the Prophet of Allah, He said to his people while conveying the message to them, internet who day 88 We learn Walmart What do you do unto Khalifa calm Ilana and her come on who? In odd ill Esler and I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have forbidden you.

00:24:25--> 00:24:39

Meaning what I forbid you from? I stay away from that as well. It's not that I'm telling you not to do something and I'm doing it myself. No. One will he do unto Califa calm Ilana and how come on who? In 82 inland Islam

00:24:41--> 00:24:50

because this is treachery. This is deception. This is wrong, that a person is advising other people. And when it comes to his own actions, they're completely different.

00:24:52--> 00:24:59

The Prophet sallallahu Sallam he said, A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown into the Hellfire so that his intestines will come out

00:25:00--> 00:25:27

too, and he will go around like a donkey goes around a millstone, like an animal goes around the millstone just going round and round in circles. This is how this man will be going around in the hellfire. The people of hellfire will gather around him surprised, and they will say also and so what is wrong with you? Didn't you use to order us to do good and forbid us to do bad? You are the one telling us to do good and you are the one forbidding us from doing evil.

00:25:28--> 00:25:39

And he will reply, yes, I used to order you to do good, but I did not do it myself. And I used to forbid you to doing bad, but I used to do it myself.

00:25:41--> 00:25:42

This is reported in body

00:25:43--> 00:25:45

such a severe punishment.

00:25:46--> 00:25:57

severe punishment because cobbled on Makaton or in the law, he under kolomela alone. You're preaching, instructing, but you're not doing it yourself.

00:25:59--> 00:26:11

Allah hates this as well. Then another way that a person could do this contradiction in his words and actions is that a person says he has done something whereas in fact, he has not done it.

00:26:12--> 00:26:20

So Lima Taku, Luna, why do you say that you have done such and such, whereas manner the following you have not done it?

00:26:22--> 00:26:42

Why is it that a person would say he has done certain good deeds, or he has accomplished certain things, whereas in reality, he hasn't done anything of that sort. By, for example, I used to work there, and I have this degree, and I used to live in that country nice to make that much money. And I've studied such and such words. In fact, he hasn't done anything like that. Why would a person do that?

00:26:43--> 00:26:46

To impress other people to show off to gain their praise?

00:26:48--> 00:26:56

Lying. This is also something that is hated by Allah subhanaw taala This is a sign of what hypocrisy.

00:26:57--> 00:27:05

In surah earlier in one i 180. We learned about them when I feel clean. Well, your hip buena and your model, Viva la mia for our do.

00:27:06--> 00:27:09

They love to be praised for what they have not done.

00:27:11--> 00:27:27

They haven't actually done it, but they still want to be praised for it. So Allah does not like this behavior either. What Allah likes is truthfulness. What Allah likes is honesty. What Allah likes, is fulfilling the commitment.

00:27:28--> 00:27:53

Not that a person makes promises, but he breaks them. That a person says one thing and he does something else. No. This is a behavior that Allah does not like disloyalty. untrustworthiness is a trade that cannot be found in a believer. Remember that? This is a trade that is found in who in a winner fail in a hypocrite.

00:27:54--> 00:28:20

The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Atul Munna fealty Salas there are three signs for a hypocrite, what are they? Either what are the clever when he makes a promise he breaks it? What either had death a caliber when he speaks he lies what either Domina Han and when he is entrusted, he betrays? Because in all of these things, limit Hakuna Matata, if

00:28:21--> 00:28:24

he makes a promise, he says he will do it, but then he breaks it.

00:28:26--> 00:28:35

Then when he speaks, he lies. He says he has done something whereas in reality, he hasn't done it. When he's given an Amana he said yes, he will take care of it. But then he doesn't take care of it.

00:28:36--> 00:28:38

Limit Hakuna Matata mulata.

00:28:39--> 00:28:48

In another Hadees, we learned there are three signs of a hypocrite, even if he observed fast and prayed and asserted that he was a Muslim.

00:28:50--> 00:29:08

These three signs same signs. But in that hadith additional that were insomma masala was our Anna Anna who Islam. Even if that person prays Salah he fasts in the month of Ramadan, and he thinks that he is a Muslim. But in fact, who is he? And when I think

00:29:09--> 00:29:11

that limit the whole Luna mela the following?

00:29:12--> 00:29:24

If you think about it, if there is a discrepancy in the words and actions of a person, they're not coherent, or a person breaks his promises, does not fulfill the commitments then what's the harm?

00:29:25--> 00:29:27

What's the harm? What's the loss?

00:29:28--> 00:29:30

There is no loss. Okay, there's no less than do it?

00:29:32--> 00:29:32

What's the loss?

00:29:34--> 00:29:39

It affects other people. How, in many ways

00:29:40--> 00:29:50

that first of all, it promotes the culture of lying. It promotes a culture of breaking promises. It promotes a culture of not fulfilling commitments,

00:29:51--> 00:29:52

doesn't it?

00:29:53--> 00:29:59

Tell me for example, if I say that No, I'm not going to continue teaching the course. For example.

00:30:00--> 00:30:03

Are you going to continue completing the course? Probably not.

00:30:04--> 00:30:12

If one person says I'm not going to come, doesn't it give confidence to other people as well, that they should not show up either.

00:30:13--> 00:30:17

And if one person fulfills his commitment than other people are also encouraged.

00:30:19--> 00:30:29

So the harm is that it affects other people, it promotes the culture of lying, it promotes the culture of breaking promises, not fulfilling your commitments.

00:30:30--> 00:30:58

The second point of limit Hakuna Matata pheromone, that a person preaches what he does not practice himself. So for example, a person is telling other people about something good, or stopping them from bed. But he recognizes that he doesn't do it fully himself, that his actions are different. And he recognizes that he accepts that. But still, He is advising other people. Like for example, a father tells his son don't smoke. But he realizes that he smokes himself.

00:30:59--> 00:31:02

But he knows that smoking is bad, it's wrong.

00:31:03--> 00:31:07

But does he have the right to tell his son or not? What's the answer?

00:31:09--> 00:31:16

Yes, but he must also strive to stop himself.

00:31:17--> 00:31:22

Because until he does not stop himself, his advice is not going to have any effect.

00:31:24--> 00:31:48

I heard somewhere, I don't remember which scholar exactly it was that he said, Whenever I find a weakness in me, I start preaching about that, I start teaching about that. Because when I start teaching about that, then what happens, it opens up my eyes, it tells me that this is wrong. And I hate that wrong action even more, or I like that good action even more. And as a result, it becomes a part of me.

00:31:49--> 00:32:00

So sometimes it helps you. Because remember, no person is perfect. You tell other people, for example, backbiting was wrong. And then you are sitting with someone and you realize I just did that.

00:32:02--> 00:32:05

You're telling children don't lie, you're telling children don't behave like this be gentle.

00:32:07--> 00:32:09

And then what happens your children remind you Be gentle.

00:32:11--> 00:32:18

No person is perfect. However, a person should always have this understanding that I need to improve.

00:32:20--> 00:32:27

And he should have that sincerity that if loss. And he should strive his best to do good to stay away from Ronk.

00:32:28--> 00:32:44

Now going back to the loss of the harm of contradiction between word and action, first is that people get affected how that you're promoting the culture of contradiction in word and action. Another effect is that other people suffer.

00:32:45--> 00:32:51

Other people suffer, you make a promise with someone, you don't fulfill it, you think they're not going to suffer anything?

00:32:52--> 00:32:53

Of course, they will.

00:32:54--> 00:33:09

Similarly, for example, if there is a store and it says open from nine to five, you go there at 9055 minutes past nine o'clock, it's still closed, is it gonna harm you, of course, it's taking away from your time.

00:33:11--> 00:33:14

And like this person also loses the trust of others.

00:33:16--> 00:33:21

You break a commitment once you break a promise and other time, the third time, people are not going to trust you.

00:33:23--> 00:33:46

If you go to a store, it says we'll be open at nine. And it's 10 minutes past nine, half an hour past night, you're waiting. One day it's closed, it opens up an hour late another day, again, the same thing happens, you're not going to go there again, you're not going to recommend that place to anyone else. So this is the harm that a person becomes untrustworthy, unreliable in the sight of people.

00:33:47--> 00:33:52

But the worst is that a person earns Allah's wrath.

00:33:53--> 00:34:16

Because Allah says Kabuto mochten are in the law he and the kolomela to follow. Allah hates it, it's greatly disliked by him, that you say that which you do not do. If a person, you know makes a commitment, and he does not fulfill it, he starts something, but he does not complete it. Then what message is he giving out to other people that this work is not really that important?

00:34:17--> 00:34:22

It's not really that important. It's okay. There are other things that are more important are the things that are more necessary.

00:34:23--> 00:34:36

So remember, whenever you start a good action, whenever you start a good deed, this is like a commitment that you're making with who with your Lord. And once you've made that commitment, then fulfill it, fulfill it.

00:34:38--> 00:35:00

Remember, in Surah Nov, we learned about older women, that when they have reached a particular age of being choleric it's okay for them that they removed their outer garments, meaning their jilbab they can take it off, because it's difficult for them inconvenient for them. But if they keep it on, it's better for them. Why? Because when

00:35:00--> 00:35:04

To start at a good deed, then you should continue with it for the rest of your life.

00:35:06--> 00:35:11

Because what kind of actions is Allah like? Those actions which are consistent even if they're small.

00:35:13--> 00:35:21

So consistency is that which Allah likes to see in us, not inconsistency. No matter what kind of inconsistency it may be.

00:35:23--> 00:35:27

And this is something that we should be careful about in matters of Deen as well as matters of dunya.

00:35:29--> 00:35:54

We see that this leads to disunity. This leads to mistrust that if a person is not fulfilling his promise, can you trust them? Know if a person says he will do something but they don't fulfill their commitment? Can you work with them? No, you cannot work with them. So the key to unity. The key to being strong is what? Fulfilling your commitments being true to your promises.

00:35:56--> 00:35:59

Couple are McDonough in the law he and the kolomela. Tough alone.

00:36:01--> 00:36:52

In Allah your Hibbeler Medina ukata Luna feasability you suffer, get a new home banana morsels. Allah loves those people who fight in his cars in a row, as if they are a single structure joined firmly. First, Allah told us about what he does not like then he tells us about what he likes, what is it that he likes? Who is it that he likes AlLadhina ukata Luna feasability his software, those who fight in his way in rows making straight rows with discipline, organization, under Home banana muscles, as if they are a single structure that is joined firmly bananas structure, building and muscles that were just solidified that which is pressed together.

00:36:54--> 00:37:13

More sources from the root letters raw Salt, salt and Ross is to construct to build a structure that is very solid, very firm in itself. And then on top, you pour some kind of material in order to solidify it so that no gaps, no rifts remain inside.

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

Remember the wall that Zilker nine build, what did he say to Nizoral Hadid he filled the gap with the pieces of iron. And then he said, fallen for who blow the bellows and then all three of our Lahey pistol. Then he poured on top molten copper. Why? Because when that is formed on top than any gaps, any ribs, whatever, they're completely sealed together.

00:37:38--> 00:37:50

So then the structure the wall, it becomes firmly compacted together, there are no cracks, no breaks in the middle. And then it's also firm in its place that you can't move it.

00:37:51--> 00:38:11

So banana muscles gives us two meanings. First of all, a solid structure in which there are no gaps, no cracks, no weaknesses inside, meaning united. And secondly, a structure that is firm in its place, a structure that does not move. Why? Because its parts are cemented with one another.

00:38:12--> 00:38:17

So these are the kinds of believers that Allah likes those who are together.

00:38:19--> 00:38:30

Those who are not disunited from insight, no, they are together. And then they are firm. Because when the animal sources work, a structure that is firm in its place, you can't move it.

00:38:32--> 00:38:37

So once they've made a commitment, once they've started something, they're not going to stop until they finish it.

00:38:38--> 00:38:54

So who does Allah like? Do characteristics are mentioned over here? First of all, United from within, and secondly, fully committed, fully committed? This is what Allah likes the unknown banana morsels. You see, one is just a crowd of people.

00:38:55--> 00:39:25

And another is an organized group, a crowd of people. How do they look? Messy, unimpressive, disorganized? And on the other hand, an organized group people who are in roles in files, each person at his place, each person doing his work? How do they look? Very impressive. How is their work? Very good. There is quality in their work. Their work is also very productive. Because they're not disorganized.

00:39:26--> 00:39:44

When people are praying together in strict rules, then what happens there is more crucial. Otherwise you're constantly thinking this Sister please move your foot here. Please stand closer to me. You cannot have Hoosier then. So what is it that enabled you to work properly focused?

00:39:45--> 00:39:49

It's unity. It's standing together. This is what Allah likes.

00:39:50--> 00:39:51

When listen to the recitation

00:39:54--> 00:39:56

this may learn your Walkman.

00:40:00--> 00:40:00

The

00:40:03--> 00:40:04

Tijuana

00:40:06--> 00:40:09

hockey

00:40:19--> 00:40:20

game gobble up all

00:40:22--> 00:40:25

the law he picked up oh my

00:40:33--> 00:40:36

god do you know nurseries and beanie he is off

00:40:41--> 00:40:44

model falls

00:40:47--> 00:41:05

you see if a wall is cracked? Can you put something on it? Can you put a ceiling on it? Can you put a roof on it? No. Only when a wall is firm and strong plaster together consolidated, then you can put something on top of it, then it can serve as a foundation.

00:41:06--> 00:41:37

So similarly, only when believers are united, then can they carry a heavy responsibility, then can they accomplish something? But if they're cracked from everywhere, if they're broken apart from everywhere, and will they be able to do anything, they will not be able to do anything at all. So, over here, Allah subhanaw taala tells us that what he likes in believers is unity and steadfastness because these are two things that lead to success, unity and steadfastness

00:41:38--> 00:41:41

and unity means discipline, organization.

00:41:42--> 00:41:49

And we see that this quality, the Sahaba of the land whom they had organization, unity,

00:41:50--> 00:42:11

and unity, for its sake, sometimes you have to sacrifice a lot. Like for example, in order to make a straight line. Do you have to stand uncomfortably sometimes? Do you have to Yes, you do. In order to make straight lines anywhere? You have to sacrifice but if you say no, no, I'm too comfortable in my spot. Why should I move she should move.

00:42:12--> 00:42:54

I'm not going to move she should move, then that's not going to lead to Unity. So sometimes for the sake of unity, what do you have to do? Sacrifice? You have to give up your ego. We see that the Sahaba when the Prophet salallahu Salam sent them for the battle of Mukta in the eighth year of Hijra in the Battle of MCDA. He appointed three leaders Zaidan Haritha, readly, Allahu Anhu. Jaffa wrote Allahu Anhu. And then thirdly, Abdullah bin roba. And what did he say that absorbed the skill then therefore becomes a leader if he is skilled and have the level of aha should become the leader. And we learned the Java leader who initially said, I'm not going to accept Zaid as a leader above me

00:42:55--> 00:43:11

why they do that and who was younger, he was much older. And remember that he had come from in Amazonia, he was a leader. Remember Jericho, they learn who he was the leader of the Muslims and Abyssinia, he spoke for them. Now imagine he had to accept somebody else's leadership. Initially, he said no.

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

But the Prophet salallahu Salam advised him and he accepted. He accepted and he went, and in the battle, he was martyred. Now imagine if he said no, I'm not going. You don't make me the big leader? I'm not going if he didn't go, would he be rewarded with martyrdom at that time? No.

00:43:28--> 00:43:55

So what do we see that sometimes for the sake of unity with the sake of greater good, you have to give up your ego as well. You have to sacrifice you have to move, you have to provide space to the other. You have to do that which is more difficult. But if a person remembers this is what Allah likes, then it becomes easy. Because in Allah, your head will Latina you, Catarina visibilty, soften, get a pneumonia and the muscles.

00:43:57--> 00:44:30

Sometimes we underestimate ourselves, we don't realize the potential that we have. And we get stuck because of these little things. Oh, why is she here? And why are they here? But remember, for the sake of unity, just give up your ego. For the sake of unity, do what you're supposed to do. Because sometimes when we're working together in an organization, it's quite possible the decision is made and we don't like it. We find it hard. But for the sake of staying together for the sake of statelessness for the sake of doing the work, accept it and there's laden that in shall

00:44:32--> 00:44:34

we listen to the recitation again

00:44:40--> 00:44:41

the Hallelujah

00:44:45--> 00:44:46

effect

00:44:48--> 00:44:48

Yeah.

00:44:53--> 00:44:56

Hello, Cabal.

00:44:57--> 00:44:59

Allah here double O

00:45:00--> 00:45:00

Man

00:45:03--> 00:45:05

in Allah you're

00:45:08--> 00:45:09

00:45:10--> 00:45:11

suffering
