then it is said unto the Duna, antas, Allura Sula, comme como su Isla musalman Coolblue? Or do you intend to ask your messenger as Musa alayhis salam was asked before any you see, sometimes, you know, when you're told to do something and you find it hard, or you feel that people will not take it very well. It's a shock. You know, you have questions now when you could ask questions for the purpose of clarification. Okay, so that you can understand the command and you can follow it properly. And these kinds of questions are good. Okay. Asking questions for the purpose of, for the purpose of learning for the purpose of clarification is good. Allah subhanaw taala tells us and sort

00:00:42--> 00:01:27

of the Nahal I have 43 that first Alou athletically in quantum law, Darla Moon asked the people of the message if you don't know, meaning, when you don't know ask those people who know. Alright, but one thing about asking questions is that first of all, you don't begin with questioning. Okay? You begin learning by listening. Okay. First, you listen, first you learn from what the teacher is saying. And then you ask questions. Some people don't want to spend time studying, they don't want to bother reading a book. They don't want to bother, you know, listening to a lecture. They don't want to bother taking a course. They don't want to bother taking a class. What do they do? But they

00:01:27--> 00:02:04

are curious about a certain concept in Islam, what will they do? They will just open up a random book, right? And they will take pictures of it, they will take excerpts from it. And then they will send questions to people have knowledge that please explain this to me. Please explain that to me. What does this mean? What does that mean? And how come this is the case? And how come that is the case? You don't begin learning by questioning. You begin learning by listening by learning from a teacher. And then when you don't understand something you ask. And even then, when you're asking questions, questions should always be relevant. Any they should always be practical. They should

00:02:04--> 00:02:47

always be related to something that is applicable. You know, when some of the scholars were asked a question, they would say, Has this happened? Did this happen? And if the answer was no, that no, no, this is not a real situation. This is a hypothetical situation that I'm asking about. They would say when it happens then ask me. Okay, when it happens, then asked me, then I'll tell you about it. And also, when you ask questions, okay, you know, ask one question, followed up with another question, maybe a third, but then stop. Don't follow a question with another question. And another question. And another question like the money is not yielded. Why? Because asking too many questions, becomes

00:02:47--> 00:03:27

what disrespectful and it's almost like harassment. Think about how Musashi Sena was treated by the Bani Israel. Right? That Are you joking with us? What kind of a cow is it supposed to be? Well, what is its color supposed to be? All the cows seem the same to us. Please specify any so many questions there were basically harassing Musar. Listener. Right? We learn from even Mr. ruderal de la Horne, who he said that I asked the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that which action is the most beloved to Allah? Any what is that action that Allah subhanaw taala loves the most. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam answered Salah at its proper time. So Abdullah bin was rude said that I

00:03:27--> 00:04:06

asked them what the Prophet sallallahu Alisson replied, being good to parents. Our beloved Massoud said then what the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam said jihad in the way of Allah, our dilemma Masaru. Later on, he said that I know that if I asked the Prophet salallahu, alayhi wasallam more questions as in what's next, then what then what he would have told me? If I had asked for more, he would have told me, but I did not ask for more. Why? Because he had already asked three questions. Right? He had already asked what deed is the best then what then what? Right? So that's enough. That's enough. And you see, you know, we're supposed to ask questions for the purpose of Arman for

00:04:06--> 00:04:49

the purpose of action. Okay, not just mere information. When you inquire, you get an answer you are supposed to apply. So before you ask another question, apply what you already know. So here, Allah subhanaw taala is basically discouraging us from asking too many questions because cathro to sue Al. asking too many questions. This is basically harassment. Okay. And Ben horsnell Islami mo ether Kumala irony of the beauty of a person's Islam is that they leave What does not concern them, meaning their mind their own business. They don't ask about every little thing. And we learned that once when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned the people that had is obligatory for

00:04:49--> 00:05:00

you to perform hajj, a man asked every year and the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam kept quiet. The man asked again every year every year, every year he asked three times you

00:05:00--> 00:05:38

know when someone is ignoring your question that means that they don't want to answer it. But the man kept asking, and the prophets Allah who are listening replied, If I were to say yes, it would become obligatory for you. Any imagine that the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam said yes. Then how would you do Hajj every single year, you wouldn't be able to do it. And then he said, leave me with what I have left to you. For those who were before you were destroyed because of excessive questioning. And he because they asked too many questions. That is why they were destroyed. In Surah Nisa, I 153. Allah subhanaw taala says yes, a Luca Halal Kitabi and tuna 00 Am Kitab Amina Sama, the

00:05:38--> 00:06:25

People of the Book demand from you that you bring down a book for them from the sky. Okay, for caatsa aloo Musa Akbar Amin VALIC, they asked Musa alayhis salam for something even more serious and what was that for Kalu and in Allah Allah they said show us Allah, then we will believe you. So asking questions in and of itself is not wrong. But asking from a place of criticism from a place of objection from the place of denial that is wrong from a place of you know, making excuses. Okay, and then following one question with another with another with another that is wrong. In certain my ADA i 101. Allah subhanaw taala says Yeah, are you Alladhina amanu lattice anyone a Shia into Buddha

00:06:25--> 00:07:04

Lakota. So come Oh, you have believed do not ask about things which if they are revealed to you, it would be upsetting to you any, don't ask questions, the answers to which of course you're not going to like. So be careful about what you ask. And be careful about how many questions you ask. Also, when a person is asking too many questions, what does that mean? It means that they're not using their own mind. All right, like Musar. Listen, I'm told the Bani Israel, Allah orders you that you slaughter a cow, a cow is a cow, right? Could be any cow, white, black, brown, whatever color doesn't matter. Any it could be healthy, it could be sick. Any cow. Of course, if you are, you know,

00:07:04--> 00:07:48

offering sacrifice to Allah, it should be the best that you can find the best that you can afford. But a call was a couple. But they asked so many questions. So you know, when you ask so many questions means that you're not using your own mind. Or that you are expecting perfection from yourself. You are not allowing yourself to be human. This is another mistake that we make. You know, for example, someone asks us for water. Right? So they asked you for water. You can give them water, right? You can use your own judgment, and go get a glass of water and give it to them. But if you ask them Oh, would you like it called her room temperature? Would you like it with or without ice?

00:07:48--> 00:08:32

Should I get it for you in a cup or in a bottle? Why are you asking so many questions, because you want to get it perfectly right? You don't want to make a mistake. You know, you're not allowing yourself the space to be human. So for example, you bring them water in a glass, all right without ice, and it's room temperature. And you give it to them and they say oh, I want cold water. So Okay, it looks bad that Oh, you did not think about it. Why did you not bring ice but you're human, you cannot know everything. You cannot do everything. You know, you can always improve your actions. You can always bring them ice later on. If they want cold water, you can bring them cold water as well.

00:08:33--> 00:09:18

So sometimes we're asking too many questions from a good place where we want to be perfect. We want to get things 100% Right. And that is good that you want to get things perfectly right. But realize that you are human, you cannot always be perfect, you will be deficient. But you know what? Allah subhanaw taala has also given you the ability to learn from your mistakes to improve your actions. So give yourself that time and space. Right so here are the companions are being discouraged that Don't ask too many questions, um, to the Duna antas, alula, Sula, Kama Sutra Musa and COVELO. And the thing is that when you ask too many questions, sometimes you just going down the wrong path. You

00:09:18--> 00:09:58

put yourself in greater difficulty. So it is said we may get a bed that will cover a bill Imani *a Bella Sawa Seville, whoever exchanges disbelief with belief that indeed he has gone astray from the straight path. You know, for example, the Bani Israel eel. They kept asking about the cow to a point where it was almost impossible for them to find the cow. You know, sometimes people ask questions like, Okay, where did we come from? Who made us God made us Okay, where did God come from? So when you follow one question with another with another with another, you know, sometimes curiosity is good and sometimes you have to recognize that you don't know all the answers and you

00:09:58--> 00:09:59

cannot know all

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

have the answers. You have to be patient until you meet Allah. And if you keep asking, asking, asking, asking, questioning, questioning, then you might end up going the wrong way. So be careful. There comes a point where you should say Submariner will aterna I'm a no was a darkness, we believe and we accept, you know, you recognize that this is my limit, like the angel said, Subhana coloreel Mallanna in murmur I love Tana, we have no knowledge except what You have given us. Then in a said, what the cathedral mean, al Qaeda below your dunya coming by the Imani comco follow many of the people of the Scripture wish and they want this to happen, that they could turn you back to

00:10:43--> 00:11:29

disbelief after you have believed why HESA the men are in the unforeseen, out of envy from themselves any they don't want you to be Muslim. They're so jealous of you that they want to see you leave Islam mimbar the meta you know who will help after the truth has become clear to them. And why is this being said over here because you know earlier when they misused the word rar Ina, right or they criticize the concept of NUS right? What is this? All of these attempts are to make you doubt Islam. So today it is Latina and attack on NUS. Tomorrow it will be something else. And every other day people will come up with different reasons to criticize Islam to make you doubt Islam and that

00:11:29--> 00:12:09

is because really they don't want you to be Muslim. In surah Nyssa 89 We learn what Dulo tak Faloona Kama cafardo, Fatah, karuna, salah they want you to disbelieve just as they disbelief so that all of you are the same. They want you to become like them. Insert earlier and one is 72 We learn about a group of the People of the Book who would go in the morning to the prophets Allah who earlier sentiment would say oh, we believe we accept Islam. Okay. And then all day, they're pretending to be Muslim. And then right at the end of the day, they say I'm sorry, we were no longer Muslim. You know, when we became Muslim, we learned about things we experience things that are just, you know,

00:12:09--> 00:12:58

not right. So now that we know Islam from the inside, we're no longer Muslim. So you know, there will be people who will make such attempts to make you leave Islam. So understand and accept this reality. Some people don't like you being Muslim, they're okay with you. They don't hate you as a person, they have a problem with your religion, they have a problem with your Islam. So sometimes they will make fun of you sometimes they will discriminate against you sometimes they will use certain policies to harm you, you know, to put you on the spot to make you feel bad about yourself. So what should you do for fools for who? Okay, pardon and overlook turn away any don't dwell on

00:12:58--> 00:13:43

these issues. Yes, these issues hurt you they bother you but overlook and ignore had diety Allahu be somebody until Allah delivers his command. Meaning until Allah creates a situation in which you're able to take action against such people. And you know, there are situations where you know, you are able to defend your rights, you're able to stand up for yourself. You know, there have been so many instances where Muslims have taken a stand and they have challenged, you know, different authorities, any they have fought for their place, that's excellent, but every Muslim is not in a situation to do that. So in that situation, what do you do, be patient overlook, and wait for things

00:13:43--> 00:14:32

to improve? Allah will improve things for you. In Allah Allah Khalifa in Kadena, indeed, Allah is over all things competence, this is so empowering, that you know, things will change. Don't lose hope for now, be patient and overlook these people. And what is meant by far fullest for who is basically do not stoop to their level in opposing them. You know, they make fun of you don't make fun of them in return. You know, they insult you. You don't insult them in return. Okay? They're spreading false information about you. You don't spread false information about them. No, you stick to your rules, you stick to your values, and wait for the right time until Allah brings about a

00:14:32--> 00:15:00

matter Allah brings about his command and be hopeful. Allah subhanaw taala is able to do all things. Were Aquino, Salah toe, Atos, Zakat, and established prayer and gives a cat any right now, what should you do keep yourself busy in doing good things. And you see, there are many situations where we're not able to change, you know, our circumstances or we're not able to change what other

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

are doing. So you're waiting, but you can't just sit and wait and do nothing. You also have to keep yourself busy and doing good things. So focus on salah, focus on the cat focus on your obligations and women to continually unphysical men Hayden, thank you to her in the law, whatever good you put forward for yourselves you will find it with Allah and your good deeds are not going to be wasted. Right and remember every single time that you show pardon that you overlook, you ignore. You know this is what you are sending good reward for yourself. This is not going waste in Allah Bhima Dharma Luna proceed indeed Allah of whatever you do is seeing. We learned that on the Day of Judgment,

00:15:44--> 00:16:28

every little and big good deed will come before you into it earlier in one ayah 30 Allah subhanaw taala says Yama 32 colon of Seema or millet mean Haida mcdata It is the day when every person will find whatever good they did, present before them. The reward of you know an atom's weight, even tiniest particle of good that you do even that will matter on the Day of Judgment. We learned in Surah Nisa 40 in Allah halaya Lima with color the routine, Allah subhanaw taala does not wrong. an atom's weight, even the weight of a tiniest particle in the if something is so small, almost printer will not waste that were integral Haselton and if it is something good, meaning you did a tiny

00:16:28--> 00:17:09

amount of good deed, you lottery for Allah's parent, I will multiply it. So any good you do, Allah subhanaw taala is watching it, you will find it with Allah. So keep yourself occupied and doing good things. You know, sometimes you are in a situation where you feel, you know, very constrained, very limited. You feel you don't have much freedom that could be because of your health. That could be because of certain people in your life. That could be because of certain responsibilities that you have. You know, you feel that you cannot do what you want to do. So you keep trying. You keep knocking on different doors you keep seeing you keep checking how you can change your situation, how

00:17:09--> 00:17:51

you can do what you want to do. But until then don't keep waiting. Don't sit idle. Do something good. You know, we learned about scholars who were imprisoned, imprisoned, literally for speaking the truth. But what did they do? While they were imprisoned? Did they just wait for that day when they will be set free? No. They spent their time writing books. They spent their time reciting Quran reflecting on the Quran. So no matter what situation you're in, occupy yourself with good things. Well, Carlo Leonard halogen Netta Ilam and Khanna who didn't own a surah and they say none will enter paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian now this is something so amazing and he

00:17:51--> 00:18:36

technically Jews say that only they will enter paradise Christians say that only they will enter paradise Jews will not write each group thinks that they're the only ones who will enter Paradise, but here will call you and they say they this is referring to certain types or certain group of the people of the book of the Jews and Christians who have basically united against the Muslims. Okay, even at the time of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and it's well known that the Jews and Christians were enemies for the longest time okay. But now the with the Muslims in coming there now had a common enemy. So they basically changed their opinions, their beliefs in opposition to the

00:18:36--> 00:19:23

Muslims. Okay, so any there are people who will change who they are in their hatred of you. Okay, well, can you layer the whole janitor in lemon Khanna who didn't own a surah? Allah subhanaw taala says Tilka Imani you whom this is just her wishful thinking. They think that they're upon the truth. That they're the ones who are going to go to paradise but that's not the case. We'll have to build Hannah come say produce your proof. Produce your proof in quantum SILOKING if you are truthful. So who is Jenna really for? Allah subhanaw taala tells us Bella, rather, any agenda is not based on what you think contrary to your assumption. Jana is for who men s lemma Would you hold? The one who

00:19:23--> 00:19:59

surrenders his face to Allah? What does that mean? A slim module Allah How do you surrender your face to Allah? If you think about it above the eyes is what your forehead what's behind your forehead, brain which part of the brain which part of the brain is behind the forehead? Think about it. You can send the part of the brain that is behind the forehead, it is the decision maker. Okay. It is the control. It is basically where the control is where the decisions are made. Okay, so that's behind your forehead. Now come down to your eye.

00:20:00--> 00:20:53

AES, okay, your eyes you see what you see you believe, okay? On the side is what your ears you listen, okay? And then your mouth you speak okay? And your whole face is what? Your honor your dignity, right? So you surrender your face to Allah. That means you surrender your entire being to Allah, your intelligence, okay? Your rationality your thinking, meaning you surrender yourself to Allah you say Allah whatever you have told me that is the truth, whatever you tell me, that is what I will do. Okay? It's not about what I think it's not about what people say. It's about what you say you're Rob Heyman Islam or Jehovah Allah. This means that you surrender yourself entirely to Allah.

00:20:53--> 00:21:42

Some orlimar say this means that the person is sincere to Allah. Okay, sincerely worships Allah is humble before Allah, and Islam submission. And he it is that your heart surrenders to Allah, your ego, your willingness, right? Your mind that you completely submit to Allah. And if the face goes in a certain direction, what does that mean? The entire body will go in that direction. When you put your face on the ground, your forehead on the ground, what does that mean? That your entire body is also going to go down? So the one who completely submits to Allah worships only Allah is sincere to Allah believes that Allah is my Rob, and then will who are more sin, he is also a doer of good. Now

00:21:42--> 00:22:24

what is good? Who decides? What good is Allah subhanaw taala decides, right? Because if you were to ask people, people have different opinions. Right? So how can a person be a doer of good? This is when a person does those actions which Allah subhanaw taala declares to be good actions which Allah subhanaw taala has legislated law that Allah subhanaw taala has given and how do we learn about that? By following the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So the one who surrenders his face to Allah is the One who is sincere to Allah worships only Allah will who are more sin means that he follows the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam also, then this person, fella who are you who are in the

00:22:24--> 00:22:42

rugby, he will have his reward with his Lord, while a hopeful, gnarly, himolla, whom years unknown, such people will enter paradise where there will be no fear on them, and they will not be sad, no fear, no sadness. Can you imagine? Any every day that we wake up experience so much fear?

00:22:43--> 00:23:34

Right, fear of someone hurting us fear of losing someone fear of losing something, fear of getting a headache, fear of getting sick, fear off, you know, the work that we have to do, the limited time that we have, and sadness, regret over what we have missed? or sadness over? What we know is going to be over soon. All right, this life is filled with fear and sadness. And yes, you know, you believe in Allah and that belief brings in you a level of tranquility and acceptance that allows you to deal with loss and pain in life. But that doesn't mean that loss and pain is erased from your life. It's still there, you do feel sad, you do cry, you do have apprehensions but the only place

00:23:34--> 00:24:00

where there is no fear and no sadness is paradise. So it is such people who will enter Jannah those who surrender themselves entirely to Allah and also do good. Well who are more sin? May Allah subhanaw taala grant us all tofield Inshallah, we will conclude over here Subhanak Allah who will be handed a shadow Allah Illa illa Anta stuff Itokawa to buoy Lake wa salam Wa alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
