00:00:00--> 00:00:13

But Allah subhanaw taala told us in the next area that Wamena NASCI Mejia Duffy Dohmen, do Nila he and Dadda. And yet among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals to him.

00:00:14--> 00:00:29

And he instead of worshipping Allah subhanaw taala, alone, instead of dedicating all of their worship to Allah, what is wrong with them, that they are impressed by, they are amazed by other beings and then they set them up as equals to Allah.

00:00:30--> 00:01:18

And then the real problem is that you have buena home care who Billa they love them as they should love Allah, a stuff that Allah and he this shows us that part of the hate is that we love Allah the most. And this is very important to understand. We think that, though hate is that you just worship Allah, right? Meaning that when you pray, you only pray to Allah. You don't make sense that to anything else. You are sincere in your worship. But Tawheed also includes the hidden marhaba that you love Allah the most, and that you don't love anyone the way that you love Allah. So, you have bone on her Biller, and remember that the concept of worship is deeply related to love. Worship is

00:01:18--> 00:02:09

not empty of love. Worship is with love. It is command with muhabba and Talim. It is to show absolute reverence and love to someone. This is part of worship. So you have Bono to her biller. These people love these and dad, the way that they should love Allah or the way that only Allah deserves to be loved. That Allah subhana wa Tada tells us when Lavina Ave assured the herbal Allah, those who believe are stronger in love for a flaw. What does this mean? This means two things. First of all, like I mentioned earlier in word analysis as well, that those who believe love Allah more intensely than those who love their false gods. And he there is a person who is worshipping an idol.

00:02:10--> 00:02:58

And this person loves that idol or, you know, they're worshipping recyling syndrome, for example, and they are, you know, the way that they talk about reciting Saddam meaning so much love so much passion, okay, but you know what the believers love for Allah is stronger and stronger. How, why? Because it's everlasting. Okay? When the believer loves Allah and worships Allah, then this love is going to continue in the hereafter. So much so that when the believer dies, any the soul of the believer is very eager to take me forward, take me forward, any I want to move ahead. And what's happening with the people, the family of the believer, they're crying, they're sad over his

00:02:58--> 00:03:12

departure, but the believer is eager to meet Allah. And imagine for the believer then the Day of Judgment, this is a relief. This is like when that dream comes true that I meet Allah.

00:03:13--> 00:04:04

I meet Allah. And then the believer will be able to see Allah and the believer will be shaded by Allah. The believer will be forgiven by Allah. The believer will be, you know, taken into paradise. Imagine and then in Jannah, the believers will meet Allah, Allah subhanaw taala will talk to them. Allah subhanaw taala will bestow His approval his Ridwan on them he will tell them that I will never be angry with you. I will never ever be upset with you. So well Latina Amma no a chateau Hapa Lilla. The believers love for Allah is way stronger, because this love only increases in increases, it intensifies. And it becomes more and more and more beautiful. Because if you think about it,

00:04:04--> 00:04:55

typically Love is a source of a lot of pain. Isn't anyone you love people, for example, you have certain expectations of them. And when they disappoint you, you're so brokenhearted. You grieve for many days. If they go away from you, you miss them. If they're with you, you get into fights with them. It's strange, any loving the creation comes with a lot of pain and a lot of complications. You intend to show love, but the other person's love language is completely different. You hug and they want their distance, right because people are different. So love for people for the creation comes with a lot of complications. And sometimes it can become a source of great pain and hurt. You know,

00:04:55--> 00:04:59

for example, a parent they love their child. They adore their child

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

They do so much for their child. Before even the child arrives, you know, they're thinking about what they're going to buy for the child, how much money they're going to spend, what they're going to do. Subhanallah and then when the child comes when the baby is born, any there's only challenge after challenge, right? And then what happens with these children when they grow up? Sometimes they say such harsh things to their parents, they look at them with so much anger. StuffIt Allah and you think this child who was loved so much by their parents, how is this child treating their parents? So anyway, loving the creation can be a source of pain, right, and a source of disappointment and

00:05:45--> 00:06:33

hurt, but loving Allah subhanaw taala this is something that only becomes more beautiful, and a source of more pleasure with time and the source of more satisfaction and fulfillment. So when Lavina Amanu assured the herbal Allah, they are stronger in love for Allah. And secondly, what this means is that those who believe love Allah more than they love anything. Okay? A shadow herbal Allah, any they love Allah more than they love anything else more than they love their children more than they love themselves more than they love anything. And this is something that we need to really think about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that none of you can truly believe until

00:06:33--> 00:07:13

Allah and His messenger are more beloved to him than everyone else. So we need to look into ourselves and see how much do I love Allah? And what is the sign of being true in loving Allah? Because if you know someone were to ask you Do you love Allah YouTube? Of course I love Allah. Right? If someone were to ask you, Who do you love the most you would say Allah. But how do you know if you actually love Allah? What are the signs of that? First of all, when a person loves Allah, then they will give preference to Allah over everyone and everything else. So for example, you know, you have a choice between two things, doing something that Allah subhanaw taala has commanded you to

00:07:13--> 00:07:56

do, and doing something that people want you to do, but Allah subhanaw taala has clearly prohibited so what does that mean? If you truly love Allah, then you will give preference to Allah, over everything and everyone else. And sometimes that everyone can be your own family. Or those things can be the things you love, like your sleep or food or fame or whatever it may be. Another sign of loving Allah is that a person follows the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because Allah Subhana Allah says put in quantum to hipbone Allah, but to be around if you truly love Allah and follow the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So check your habits. The closer you are to the Sunnah of the

00:07:56--> 00:08:07

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in this is a sign that you truly love Allah. And if you're far from the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu where it isn't, that's a sign that your love for Allah is weak.

00:08:08--> 00:08:57

Because when you love Allah, you want to please Allah. Right? You care about what Allah subhanaw taala likes, and what kind of actions what kind of words what kind of behaviors does Allah subhanaw taala like those that he taught His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Thirdly, when a person loves Allah, then they remember Allah a lot. They talk about Allah, they think about Allah. They take the name of Allah, they mention Allah. Fourthly, when a person loves Allah, they love the speech of Allah, the kalam the Quran that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed. So that means that they recite the Quran, they listen to the Quran, they find joy in being with the Quran. Number five, when

00:08:57--> 00:09:42

a person loves Allah, that means that they are pleased with Allah's decrees that they are happy with what Allah subhanaw taala has commanded. Okay, with what Allah subhanaw taala has decreed in their life also, you know, there's things in your life that you don't have control over, that you never planned. You never expected. You didn't think they would happen. But then now they've happened. So you know that it didn't happen at random, you know that it happened by the will the decree of Allah. So when you love Allah, you accept the decree of Allah because you trust Allah. So you're not angry and annoyed at every little thing. Okay? Number six, when a person loves Allah, then they get busy

00:09:42--> 00:09:59

in obeying Allah and in worshiping Allah. And you think about your day, where does it go? Think about the last 24 hours. Where did your time go? Your free time especially when you were not working when you were not studying when you were not fulfilling your obligations.

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

words you know different people that you're supposed to in your life, etcetera. When you are not fulfilling your commitments your free time, where does that time go? When a person loves someone in their free time? What do they do? They yearn to be with the one that they love, to connect with the one that they love. So, where does your free time go? Check yourself. When a person loves Allah, then they love what Allah subhanaw taala loves. Okay, number seven, they love what Allah subhanaw taala loves. And that means that they love the prophets of Allah, they love the righteous servants of Allah, they love those who believe in Allah. And then number nine, they are gentle, when a person

00:10:45--> 00:11:31

loves Allah, that they're gentle, they're kind, they're compassionate towards other people, especially those who believe and number 10, that they strive in the way of Allah. They strive in the way of Allah when they love Allah because we learn in total matita I have 54 different qualities of people who love Allah, that a villa in Ireland meaning buries it in our little caffeine. First of all, they're very kind and gentle, compassionate towards the believers. And then later on in the same Maya uj doing a FISA meet Allah this tribe in the way of Allah and then another quality as well I have fauna Loma Tala him, they're not afraid of the criticism of any critic. Know, for example,

00:11:31--> 00:12:11

when you love your child, and you know how to deal with your child, right? People have a lot of commentary to make. Don't hold your child so much. Don't kiss your child so much. Don't be so strict or don't do this or don't do that. Or how come you're doing this. Why are you doing that? So there comes a point where you stop caring about people and you know what is best for your child? Because ultimately, you love your child and you care for your child. So when it comes to the deen of Allah, there are a lot of people who criticize. Why are you wearing the hijab? Why are you praying like this? Why are you praying at all? So those who love Allah, they don't care about the criticism of

00:12:11--> 00:13:01

those who criticize for them. The approval of Allah is most important. This is sort of my that I have 54 So when Latina Amma know I shout to her, Belinda, we should also make dua to Allah Allahumma inni Iluka hubback O Allah I asked you for your love that give me the ability that I love you and make me such that you love me Allahumma inni Iluka hubback This should be one of our drawers regularly that we should make. Then it is said hello era letting avala move at your own Ellada Anil Quwata illa who Jumeirah will and Allah Masha de there are those who don't love Allah, and who do learn, who commit this injustice when they associate partners with Allah. And this is an injustice

00:13:01--> 00:13:45

that they're committing with themselves because they harm themselves, right by depriving themselves of loving Allah, and by loving someone other than Allah that becomes a source of torture and pain and regret for them. So right now, they are so last in their love for someone other than Allah. But if only they could see right now what they will see on the Day of Judgment, what will they see on the Day of Judgment, if your own will or the will, they will see the punishment and they will realize they will be certain that Anil Quwata illa, who Jumeirah, that all power belongs to Allah, what and Allah Shahidullah RDAP and that Allah is very severe and punishment.

00:13:47--> 00:13:50

If only they understood today, what they will understand on the Day of Judgment,

00:13:52--> 00:13:57

any right now we need to realize that all power belongs to Allah.

00:13:58--> 00:14:47

And this is why he's the only one worthy of our love and worthy of our worship. And that Allah subhanaw taala is merciful, yes, but he is also very severe in giving punishment. And that is something we don't want. That is something we want to avoid at all costs. So that punishment is so severe. So what does that mean? That means that right now, don't get lost in the creation. Don't get distracted by the undead that people set up for Allah be loyal to Allah, Be sincere to Allah be committed to Allah is the vajra Alladhina to be Rumina Latina terbaru. And they should consider that when those who have been followed dissociate themselves from those who followed them, meaning those

00:14:47--> 00:14:59

whom they love besides Allah, He will abandon them on the Day of Judgment, they will completely disown them. So everyone that was worshipped besides Allah, what will it do? It will do

00:15:00--> 00:15:42

sociate from those who worship them, in total cough is six Allah's parent Allah mentioned regarding the idols that will either who should or nurse who canula whom are there and what cannot be read by the team caffeine in the false gods, that when people will be gathered on the Day of Judgment, they will turn into their enemies.

He will say Insert Ibrahim I have 22 We learned that fella Tony wallow Musa come Don't blame me blame yourselves, I cannot relieve you, I cannot help you right now. And you cannot help me. And I deny all the worship that you dedicate it to me, I don't accept it, I'm not able to benefit from it or benefit you with it. So leave me alone, because people will constantly blame shaitan or curse shaytaan so shaitan will say Just leave me alone. So it's tuber Alladhina Toby

00:17:58--> 00:18:43

Rumina Latina tuber or whatever will either but what a Katara to became a suburb, all connections will be broken. All connections, all bonds, meaning any connection that people had with one another or with their false gods or whatever, because of friendship because of proximity because of relationship. Sometimes because of marriage sometimes because of work you know you're connected with people through different means. All those connections will be broken on the Day of Judgment, except for the connection of iman. Okay, except for the connection of iman. We learn in sort of Zuko via 67 Allah's parent artist says a healer or Yama is involved only Baldon Urdu, il moto cane, close

00:18:43--> 00:19:32

friends on the Day of Judgment will be enemy to each other, except for those who fear Allah, they will not be enemies, they will be together, they will be brought to Allah as a delegation, Allahu Akbar worth that they will come as a weft as a group as a delegation to Allah they will be together. So all connections will be lost. So we need to see that the connections that we have the friendships that we form, what are they based on? And how are these connections of benefit to us? Are they helping us worship Allah better? Or are these connections with people becoming a hindrance and obstacle between us and Allah subhanaw taala what kind of livina terbaru low en Milena colletta

00:19:32--> 00:19:59

infinita Barbara Amin home comfortable Rumina. The followers will say if only we had another turn at worldly life so we could dissociate ourselves from them as they have dissociated themselves from us any This is the outcome of those who are drowning in their love for someone other than Allah, that on the Day of Judgment, they will say, If only we had a chance to abandon them just as they have abandoned us today. And he they will have so much regret

00:20:00--> 00:20:43

and they will wish that they could have another chance so that they can abandon their leaders, the beings that they loved, the beings that they worshipped Gallica UD whom Allah who are Amala, whom has a lot and I lay him thus will Allah show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And he now every time they will look at their deeds, they will be in regret, and this regret will begin from the time of death in the grave, they will be regret on the Day of Judgment, they will be regret on seeing paradise, they will regret on seeing hell they will regret a StuffIt Allah. You see, in a hadith we learn, that every person who will enter Paradise will be shown the place he would have occupied in

00:20:43--> 00:21:30

Hell, if he had been of the people of hell, and this will make him more thankful. And every person who will enter Hell will be shown the place he would have had in Jannah, if he had entered gin, so that now he will only increase in regret a StuffIt Allah and in the grave also, any people will be in regret, because they will be shown their final destination and you know a person even if they do *, for example, they still do things which are good, right? Any just because a person worship someone other than Allah, it doesn't mean that they're lying all the time. They're cheating all the time. They never benefit anyone. They're never honest. No, they do good things as well. But you know

00:21:30--> 00:22:14

what's going to happen? They will be shown their good deeds on the day of judgment and suitable for Connor 23. We learn what Kadena ILA ma I'm Illumina I'm an infidel, Allah will Herbert Amman Surah their deeds will be turned into scattered dust ashes in front of them. So imagine the regret that they will think oh, I have some good deeds, right? I did some really good things, maybe those good actions will benefit me, they will not benefit them all their efforts will be wasted in front of them. Why? Because Schick will nullify all good deeds. Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Quran Allah in Ashoka Layer button now Rama look, if you do schicke your work, your actions will be

00:22:14--> 00:23:00

wasted. Any they have no worth no worse on the Day of Judgment. So imagine the regrets and when they will see the wrong actions, the Schilke that they committed regret over that also in sort of CalFire 49. We learned what will the Al Kitab oferta almajiri, Meena Mushfiq Pinochet Murphy, the book of deeds will be set up and the criminals will be afraid of what is in it. And they will say what is with this book, it has left nothing out, nothing small or big. So they will find whatever they did present in the book written over there and imagine how regretful they will be for every act of Schick every time that they called upon someone other than Allah, wa whom Behati genomen are now and

00:23:00--> 00:23:42

they are never to emerge from the fire. Then Allah subhanaw taala tells us you got a you have now so Coloma fill of the halal and paper or people eat from that which is on the earth that is halal and tell you that is lawful and good. Now in the previous verses, we learn about the consequences of those who associate partners with Allah. And remember that the Mushrikeen for example, the Mushrikeen of Makkah, they wouldn't just worship idols, they would also dedicate, you know, their livestock, their harvest to their idols, and you might have seen in different cultures different even shops you go to, and there's an idle or something and then there's a basket of fruit, some kind

00:23:42--> 00:24:31

of offering. Right? So the machine would do that a lot. And they had made the consumption of certain types of foods unlawful on themselves, or unlawful, uncertain people. So for example, women were not allowed to eat certain types of animals. Men were allowed to eat, okay, or no one could eat a certain kind of sheep or certain kinds of camel or they could not write it. Why? Because it was dedicated to the idols. Okay, so here, Allah spent Allah is telling us that all things of the earth are permissible for us to eat, as long as they are halal and for you, as long as they are halal, meaning they're lawful and they are the Ube they're good, okay. So, basically, when Allah subhanaw

00:24:31--> 00:24:59

taala has made something permissible for us to eat then we should eat it, we should not make it unlawful on ourselves and we have to be very careful because you know, every now and then there is a new ism, okay. And because of that people will, you know, make certain rules for themselves. So, you know, for example, I have heard from Muslims that you know, we should not drink cow's milk because cow's milk is for baby cows, right. sheep's milk is for

00:25:00--> 00:25:55

Maybe sheep. So humans should not be drinking cow's milk. And where did you get this idea from? I mean, Allah subhanaw taala mentions the neuron in the Quran, okay? And how Allah Subhana Allah gives us to drink from these cattle from these animals, right Leben and Holly son milk that is pure. So don't make things unlawful on yourself when Allah subhanaw taala has made them lawful. There were people who made lawful things unlawful on themselves, because of idolatry. And today, in the name of kindness towards animals, or being very earth loving, etc, you know, we will make certain foods unlawful on ourselves. Of course, we should be ethical, absolutely, we should be responsible, and we

00:25:55--> 00:26:40

should have moderation in the way that we consume food. We should have healthy habits, because anything in excess, anything that is not in moderation, it becomes detrimental. Right? So that is our responsibility. But it doesn't mean that we make things unlawful on ourselves. And when it comes to food, there's two rules basically, one is that it should be halal lawful, meaning it is not declared as something unlawful. And it should be acquired in a lawful way as well. So for example, the meat of sheep, yes, it is lawful for consumption, right? It's Halal in and of itself. But if you steal it, it's not lawful for you if the sheep was not slaughtered properly, it's not lawful for

00:26:40--> 00:27:28

you. So you have to obtain it, you have to acquire it in a lawful way as well. And then the second condition is that the food should we play you? Theo is that which is clean that which is good, that which is wholesome that which is beneficial for you favorable for you. So pay attention to that as well. Now, sometimes we think, just because it's halal eat it. No, just because it's halal. It doesn't mean that you don't pay attention to whether or not that food is valuable for you. Okay, is it good for you? Or is it harmful for you, you know, for example, nuts, they're halal. And they're also good, but for certain person, they could be lethal, right? So make sure that the food is

00:27:28--> 00:28:13

altered the use the example that I gave you earlier, mud, okay, you can't say that mud or soil is haram. Because there's nothing in the Quran or sunnah, that tells us that eating mud is haram. Okay? However, if a person keeps eating mud, right, then what's going to happen? They're going to get sick, it's not suitable for them. It's not the tube. So we have to make sure that what we eat is also good for us. And then it is said while at the W Hotel, that is shaitan do not follow the footsteps of shaytaan. Meaning don't go on the way of shaytaan don't do what Chilton does. And don't go on the path that shaytaan has carved out for you. Because shaytaan will not invite you to

00:28:13--> 00:28:59

something beneficial for you, he will invite you to something that's harmful for you. And this is with regard to food, and everything else. Okay. So for example, shaytaan inspires people to make good things unlawful on themselves, or to make unlawful lawful for themselves. And we have to be very careful about this, very careful about this. That first of all, when something is halal, please don't call it haram. And when something is haram, please don't call it halal. Speak with knowledge, use these labels very, very carefully, and very responsibly. Because shaitan tells us to speak about Allah, to say things about Allah, which we don't know, to speak without knowledge. So do not follow

00:28:59--> 00:29:05

the footsteps of shaitan and don't declare what is lawful as unlawful, or vice versa.

00:29:06--> 00:29:48

All right. And another thing is that when it comes to food and eating, especially any if we don't say Bismillah than what happens if one considers that food to be lawful for himself, right. And we also learned that children eats with his left hand, so we should not eat or drink with our left hand. And this is so you know, unfortunate that so many Muslims, they don't pay attention to which hand they're eating from. I've seen adults, people who are you know, very intelligent, sensible people. They will drink with their left hand they will eat food with their left hand. Pay attention to this the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us none of you should eat with his left hand.

00:29:48--> 00:29:59

None of you should drink with his left hand, because shaitan eats and drinks with his left hand. So do not follow the footsteps of shape Han. And you might say what's the big deal? What's the big deal?

00:30:00--> 00:30:42

It's just a hand you're just putting food in your mouth. It is a big deal, because one footstep leads to another, which leads to another which leads to another. Today you're not caring about which hand you're eating from. Tomorrow, you're not going to bother to check what exactly you're eating. Is it halal or not? And then remember that one violation leads to another and why not follow shape on because Shavon is an enemy to you in the hula Camarda uomo been and you don't follow your enemy. Any who believe that someone is your enemy. They're not your friend. You're not going to listen to them. Even if you know they're speaking the truth even if you know that they're telling you the

00:30:42--> 00:31:25

right thing. You're not going to listen to them so treat shikon is an enemy because he's actually an enemy to you. In the Maya model can be so evil for sure you will intercooler Allah He may Allah Tala Moon shaitan only orders you to do evil and immorality and teaches you to say about Allah what you do not know. Shaitan invites you to commit both types of sins, minor sins, major sins. And if you listen to him, today you do a minor sin. So tomorrow you might commit a major sin because you're used to listening to him. So don't listen to him. Don't follow him. We're either Kena Lahoma, Toby aroma, Angela carnuba, Natalia, Roma and finally of Anna, and when it is said to them, follow what

00:31:25--> 00:32:09

Allah has revealed, said to who? Some people, especially people who associate partners with Allah who said of rivals with Allah, and who declare lawful as unlawful, who have made certain good things unlawful on themselves. When they're told follow what Allah has revealed, meaning the Quran doesn't tell us, you know that women cannot eat this kind of meat, or you cannot eat the meat of such an animal. When they're told follow revelation. They say well, Natalia, Roma, and finally he ever and no, we're going to follow culture. We're going to follow tradition, we're going to follow what we found our forefathers doing. This is amazing. I will Ocana about a whim layer Pinochet. And well if

00:32:09--> 00:32:51

they don't, well, they still follow their forefathers, even if their forefathers never understood anything, and they were not really rightly guided. So remember, blindly following tradition and culture is a problem. Okay, this is a problem into the Zulu 523 We learned that this was the response of people to their prophets, that were only going to follow what we found our forefathers doing. And these days, I mean, yes, people are not very particular about following culture or tradition. But there are many isms, okay, that people blindly follow,

00:32:52--> 00:33:40

blindly follow that you study something, and you're so used to thinking in that particular way that even if it contradicts the Quran and Sunnah, you know, people will think that this is absolute truth and they will give it preference over Quran and Sunnah. So be very careful, be very careful. We learn in a hadith about how someone mentioned that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that higher is good. So someone said that, you know, we have heard, we have read in some books, that there's a kind of higher which produces weakness. So basically, they were contradicting the statement of the Prophet sallallahu. Early he was that HYAH is not all good, because he produces

00:33:40--> 00:34:30

weakness. So Imran Hussain, or de la Marne, Nene who was conveying the Hadith. He got so angry, so angry, he said, I am telling you about the statement of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and you're telling me something that you read in some books. So be careful. You know, the thing is, especially these days any research science changes over time, right? Our ethics also, they change over time, values change over time, certain things are considered acceptable and perfectly fine. And then 10 years later, 20 years later, 30 years later, the opinions are very different. So if we keep changing our opinions, I mean, fine, it's okay you grow with time, but there needs to be some truth

00:34:30--> 00:34:44

that is consistent. And that truth is the Quran and Sunnah. And that always we have to give preference to over everything else. And then it is said well method or Latina cafardo Kamath, le le the yen or eikelboom Elias Moreau Illa Dora, when is

00:34:45--> 00:34:59

the example of those people who disbelieve is like that of the shepherd who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries. Meaning they're like cattle who hear the shepherd, but they don't understand what the shepherd is saying. They just

00:35:00--> 00:35:48

know that they're being called. And sometimes all they hear is just a shout by yell, and they have no idea what it means. They don't know why they're being called. They could be called, to be slaughtered, to be milked to be locked up. They don't know. They just respond. And just like that these are people who follow tradition who follow culture without thinking without paying attention to what exactly they're being called to. So don't follow culture tradition blindly. Use your reason. Because if we don't do that, then someone Bookman neuroimmune, for whom layer pillon such people are deaf, dumb and blind so they don't understand anything. And use these faculties that Allah spent

00:35:48--> 00:36:35

Allah has given you. Use your ears to listen to the truth. Use your ability to talk to express, to discuss and to ask questions and to understand to get into the depth. And then use your eyes to reflect to see don't just follow culture, tradition, and isms of the world blindly use reason that Allah subhanaw taala has endowed you with and realize that the revelation that Allah Spano Tata has revealed that is the ultimate truth with the capital T and that means that you will give it preference over everything else. Inshallah, we will conclude over here Subhan Allah whom will be home like I shall do Allah ilaha illa Anka, Astok Furukawa to Lake was salam Wa alaykum
