Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
Oh Billahi min ash shaytani r rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah al Karim rubbish slightly Saudi were silly emri widely looked at and melissani Yakubu Kali Allahumma Nickleby was sadly Sani was roots of him at the Colby I mean Yoruba Charlemagne.
inshallah, Today we will study the names of Allah and mislead and unfetter
the name of Allah and mislead occurs four times in the Quran, where, for example incircle for Pon Ayah number 31. Allah subhana wa tada tells us, worker Fabio Rob Baker had a young one asleep IRA. And your Lord is definitely sufficient as a guide and a helper, meaning when Allah subhanaw taala guides you then that guidance is enough for you and when Allah subhanaw taala helps you when he is in your aid, then that help will be sufficient for you. Now we see that the name no sleep comes from the verb nasaga. Right? No sleep is the one who helps. So what does the word NASA or NASA mean? When we look at the word nurse or nurse Allah gives the meaning of, you know, aiding or assisting
someone. So it is to to help someone to strengthen them. And this by definition means that the one whom you are helping is in need of help. They're in need of help because they are weak, or because the challenge that they're facing is too big for them to face alone. So NASA is to help to assist to strengthen someone who is in need. And NASA is not just used for a little bit of help a little bit of aid Nussle is to give a great amount of help to help someone a great deal. So for example, the verb nesara is used for lace for rain. Now Sarah lace will Arbor that the rain nosler it helped it aidid the ground, what does that mean? Meaning the rain it fell copiously abundantly on the ground,
allowing it enabling it to become soft to absorb the water. And then as a result of that, to to cause, you know, to grow something. So the verb nasai It doesn't just mean to, you know, give a little bit of help. We're talking about a great amount of help or help that is truly sufficient. So, this is the first implication or connotation of the word innocent. Secondly, necessity is also to avenge someone, meaning when someone has been wronged when someone has been, you know treated unjustly treated unfairly. You know, then Nussle is to help them against their enemy, meaning to take revenge on their behalf because they are too weak to defend themselves to help themselves. So
you come forward, you step forward and you defend them you take revenge for them. And then thirdly, Nussle also means to give victory to overcome or to make someone you know conquer. So when we're talking about Allah subhanaw taala, that he is a nosebleed. This means that he is the giver of Nussle, meaning he is the one who aids who helps his slaves, he is the one who defends his slaves, he is the one who gives victory to his slaves. So when Allah subhanaw taala is a nicely This means that first and foremost that Allah subhanaw taala aids and helps his slaves against their enemy, whether that enemy is shaped on or it is, you know other people or it is any kind of challenge any
kind of difficulty that they're facing. Allah subhanaw taala and mislead helps his righteous slaves, his friends, so he stabilizes their feet when they're feeling weak. He strengthens their resolve when they're feeling weak hearted. He He helps them he assists them by providing them resources, and he helps them by even sending his forces the angels help that the righteous servants are not able to
see with their own eyes, but the help of Allah subhanaw taala is there. And we see the example of this in the life of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam, we learned about how in the Battle of the Muslims were only, you know, just a little over 300 and they and the enemy was three times their number. The Muslims lacked, you know, resources, they were few in number, they were also considered weak. And they weren't, you know, as physically strong because they didn't eat the same kind of foods that their enemy ate, right, their bodies were malnourished. But what happened Allah subhanaw taala aided them, he helped them. So he stabilized their feet. And he and he helped them with forces
that they did not even see with their own eyes, meaning the angels came to assist them. So Allah subhanaw taala is under sleep. And he when he hits his head, this means that he casts fear into the hearts of their opponents even meaning when Allah subhanaw taala is in the aid of his slave than part of that aid. Part of that assistance is that Allah subhanaw taala casts fear into the enemy of his righteous slave. So then the enemy is not able to inflict any harm upon the righteous slave of Allah. And we see this for example, in the enemies of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam, the enemies of Masada, his center, right, that fit our own, even though he had the ability to inflict
harm upon Masada, his center, he was not able to the the enemies of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam they had the ability to kill the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam but they were never able to do that. So why because as Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, sanuki feel kulu Billa vena cava roba that we are going to cast terror fear into the hearts of those who disbelief so they're not going to be able to harm you. So, Allah subhanaw taala is unafraid, meaning he aids and helps his slaves, his righteous slaves against their enemy. Almost Pandora says in Sudoku hedge is number 78 that was a towsley mobiler He who am Allah calm that hold on to Allah because he is your
Imola. He is your patron he is your protector for Nirmal Mola, when airman nnessee what an excellent protector he is, and what an excellent helper he is, meaning when you have the help of Allah than that help of Allah is sufficient for you. Then when Allah subhanaw taala is an asleep, this also means that he defends his slaves, meaning that when, when when the when the opponents of Allah subhanaw taala, his righteous slaves try to inflict harm upon them. Then Allah subhanaw taala defends his righteous slaves. So in our Hadees, we learned that Allah subhanaw taala says manava Lee Willie Legion soccer the other two who will help that whoever declares enmity to a wellI of mine to
a friend of mine, then I declare war against him. Meaning if any person shows animosity towards a friend of Allah, than Allah will oppose that person, meaning Allah subhanaw taala will defend his righteous slave. And this is something that is so comforting. This is something that truly is a source of strength. And then when Allah subhanaw taala is under siege, this means that he does not abandon he does not forsake his slaves, right, we see that there are people who will say that they're your friends, but when you are in need, they're not able to help you, either because they're too busy, they're not interested, they'd rather do something else. They don't want to take that
risk, you know, they don't want to put in that effort to assist you. They're too preoccupied with themselves or they do not have the ability to help you. Right? They have, you know, some conflict of interest or a lack of resources. And because of that, even though they may have the best intentions, even though they they may have, you know, good wishes for you, they're unable to help you, but almost a panel thought is far above any weakness. Right? And, and Allah subhanaw taala is true in his promise. Allah subhanaw taala has the ability to help his slaves, so he does not need to abandon them and he does not abandon or forsake them.
And we learn in sootel and fall I have 40 that Allah subhanaw taala says Nirmal Mola when airman asleep, that what an excellent protector he is and what an excellent helper he is. Meaning when he helps you
When he is your helper, it means that he is not going to abandon you. He's not going to forsake you. And then when Allah Subhana, WA tada is an asleep, this also means that Allah subhanaw without his help, his, his assistance, his aid is enough. It is perfect and complete. And it is absolute. Meaning that when a person receives the help of Allah, then they just need to rely upon Allah. They don't need to rely upon anything else. Anyone else does doesn't mean that a person does not do what they're supposed to know, you have to do your part, because what you have been given the resources that you have been given the opportunities that you have been given,
then they have been given to you by Allah subhanaw taala and they are part of his Nussle. So, this means that when Allah subhanaw taala helps a slave then Allah subhanaw taala is sufficient for that slave, then a person does not need to, you know, have any doubt or have any, you know, hesitation or have any fears. No, this is where the workload comes from. That why is it that we have been told to rely upon Allah, because when Allah subhanaw taala is help is there, then that help is sufficient. And, on the contrary, when we expect help from people, then we know that that help is not sufficient, which is why we, you know, we try to do so many different things at the same time. And
we don't feel settled in our heart. So we need to put our trust in Allah subhanaw taala and believe that the help that he gives, is truly sufficient. In surah, Nisa, number 45. Allah subhanaw taala says, What care fabula he will Legion worker fabula he nasira that Allah is sufficient, as a Willie, as a friend, and Allah is sufficient as a helper, meaning his help will suffice you. And this means that even if everyone is against you, but you are doing what is right, then you should not have any fears, you should believe that the help of Allah will be enough for you what happened with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, we see that when the Muslims migrated to Medina, it was as if
the entire Arabia turned against them. Everyone all of a sudden was an enemy to them. And we see people, you know, attempt different groups of people attempting to harm the Muslims. Right? There were enemies from within the Hippocrates. There were enemies among the neighbors, the People of the Book who resided in Medina, and there were those enemies, you know, who lived far. So the people of Makkah, and, you know, other and various other tribes also, who were enemies to the Muslims, who just basically, we're looking for excuses to inflict harm upon them. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam did not compromise in the matter of Islam. Right? Because it was because of the hate
it was because of Islam, that all of these people had, you know, turned against the Muslims. If the Muslims were to go back to, you know, their old ways, then all of these people would have been fine. What is it that turn those people into enemies? It was because because of Islam, because the Prophet sallallahu earnings said and pre preached La ilaha illa Allah, that is what they had a problem with. So we see that the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam did not become weak in his resolve in his faith. He did not compromise on the truth. And Allah soprano thought his help was truly sufficient for him sallallahu alayhi wasallam which is why ultimately, it was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
who prevailed. It was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam who was given victory so much so that people came in groups in order to embrace Islam. Right and those who did not wish to embrace Islam, they may treaties with the Muslims. So the fact is that worker fabula he will Legion worker Furby Lahaina, sleeter, in sort of earlier Imran io 150. Allah says belly la humo la comme wahoo a hydro necessity, rather Allah is your protector and he is the best of those who help his assistance is enough for you his help is sufficient for you. When you have his help, then you do not need to have any fear.
So when Allah subhanaw taala is unsullied, then what are we supposed to do? What is our part? The first thing is that we must believe that help success victory comes from Allah. It is with him and it is from him.
It cannot be without him. Meaning that if we want to be successful if we want to accomplish anything if we want, Allah subhanaw taala is help, or we, you know, we want to succeed in our endeavors, then we must remember that help comes from Allah, success comes from Allah. So we must seek that success in the right way, which means that we must do things according to the way that Allah subhanaw taala has legislated, we must not use unlawful means, in order to accomplish our goals. We must not you know, disobey Allah, in order to, you know, get what we desire, what we like, because even if we were to get what we like by disobeying Allah, then that would not be success actually, that would be
complete failure, that would be loss upon loss in this life and in the next life, but then we see so many people, you know, doing wrong things using unethical, immoral, you know, prohibited means in order to accomplish, you know, their, their desires or in order to, you know, succeed, you know, in their endeavors. So, how does that work, then? Well, you see, what happens over there is that whatever they receive, they receive because Allah soprano thada had already decreed it for them, but they will still be responsible for what they have done, which means that what they will enjoy right now in this world will be temporary, it's not going to be everlasting and stuff and allow me Allah
subhanaw taala protect us but there are certain things which we have really legalized for ourselves, for example, dealing with unlawful money, you know, when it comes to you know, consuming interest or for example, buying a house on mortgage and things like that, these are things that we have normalized. And you know, these are things that we have basically made lawful for ourselves in, in complete opposition to what Allah subhanaw taala and His Messenger sallallahu Urdu set them have legislated any This is something so frightening in the Quran, were told that if you do not leave interest than for the no be hobby min Allah He was solely then be aware that you should know that
there will be a war between you and Allah and His Messenger Yanni Allah, then you are at war with Allah and His messenger. And he Allah and His Messenger are not on your side. Allah is not on your side, Allah is against you. Any, this is such foolishness that just because we see people, you know, dealing with interest, we think that it's okay for us as well. What What kind of a decision is this? And we're only thinking short term, we're only thinking about the next 2030 years. And that's it? What's going to happen when we're going to be put in our graves? Is that helps going to come with us? Is that property still going to be in our name? Is it still going to be, you know, decorated the
way we want it to be decorated? Are we going to be able to live in that property? No. In fact, it's so unfortunate that people will buy property and mortgage right they will spend basically, all of their earning life paying off the mortgage and then what happens, they die. And and that property is now sold, it's divided between the heirs and a person is the is is in their grave with that burden of sin with every other Billa any we should realize that anything that we want, anything that we desire, anything that we're seeking, we can only have that one Allah subhanaw taala enabled that for us. So we want to get it the right way, not the wrong way. So help success is with Allah. It is from
Allah, it is not without Allah and it is not by going against Allah subhanaw taala into it earlier Imran is 126 Allah subhanaw taala says woman nurse through in laminar in the Lair healers easel Hakeem and help victory is not except from Allah meaning it is only from Allah who is a disease the ever Almighty Allah Hakeem the ever all the ever wise, any help and success. This is something that comes from Allah azzawajal and this is why we're told that we're moto 50 is
lavilla that mitofit is only from Allah, meaning if I'm able to do something, then this is only because Allah subhanaw taala has enabled me. Secondly, when Allah subhanaw taala is under asleep. This means that we should seek help from Allah. Meaning when we are in some kind of difficulty, when we, when we are struggling, when we find weakness in ourselves, or weakness, you know, in our circumstances in our resources, then don't stay weak, don't suffer in that weakness, ask honestly to help you seek the help of Allah subhanaw taala in sort of earlier, mon Iowan 60 we learn he on sarcoma Allah who fellow hollyburn accom If Allah who are to help you, if Allah were to aid you,
then there is no one at all, who could prevail over you, meaning there's no one who can harm you who can defeat you who can prevail over you. And you see, sometimes it's not those big enemies, right? Sometimes it's those challenges that we're having in our personal lives, right, where we are, for example, struggling to pay a certain bill, we are, for example, struggling to deal with a certain family member, right, we are struggling with, you know, our own children, for example, our own health, right, our own work, you know, our own studies, you know, the projects that we have been given. So, any kind of, you know, anything that we are struggling with, don't just, you know, remain
struggling. Yes, of course, you have to strive, but don't get, you know, buried under that stress. And under that, you know, heaviness of the task which is at your hand, ask Allah subhanaw taala for aid, ask Allah subhanaw taala for help because he is under sleep, he helps with a great deal of help, and he gives victory he gives success. So ask him, you know, sometimes we are struggling with our own bad habits, we are struggling with, you know, teaching our children training our children, you know, certain things you could be struggling with, you know, a pet, right, any kind of struggle that you're having your own car, right, the weeds in your garden, the snow that you have to deal
with any kind of stress or any kind of difficulty, ask Allah subhanaw taala underseat for help. Thirdly, when Allah subhanaw taala is asleep, he is the one who helps us slaves. And this means that we should be patient for the help of Allah. Our problem is that we think that you know what, I'm in difficulty. Yeah, Allah help me. And then the next moment, we should receive the help of Allah. And you know, immediately all our problems should go away. And everything should be made easy for us. But that's not how things work. The thing is that Allah subhanaw taala has made for every matter a decreed term, meaning there is a duration that is fixed for every matter. So for example, if a
person wants to, you know, if a woman is expecting, if a woman is pregnant, she cannot just, you know, have her child within a month, right? It's going to take a full term of pregnancy, right? For so for everything is a decreed term. Now there are, you know, matters whose term we have an idea of whose duration we do have an idea of, so for example, you are enrolled in a certain course. And you know that that course is going to take you two years, you're studying for a degree, it's going to take you four years, right? You know, about the duration, a woman is pregnant, she knows it's supposed to be nine months, right? He know about the duration, but then there are those matters,
whose duration we don't know, right? We don't know if you know, it's going to take, you know, one week or one month or one year, how long it's going to take to you know, to to teach your child a certain matter, right, you don't know how long it's going to take you, you know, to to to have a good grasp of the Arabic language, for example, you don't know how long it's going to take you to finally be able to drive right you don't know how long it's going to take for the Coronavirus vaccine to be discovered or you know, for for this for this
you know, Bella for this tribulation to go away. But as as Muslims, we believe that Allah subhanaw taala helps his slaves, right. So we have to be patient until relief comes which means that we don't give up. We don't get frustrated. We should not get annoyed with Allah subhanaw taala stuff, Allah that How come you know it's not over yet? How come I'm still struggling?
Right, when is this all going to be over? This is getting too much this is getting out of hand. No, we should refrain from thinking like this. And we should refrain from saying things like this, we must show patience until relief comes from Allah subhanaw taala. There are those trials which take, you know, a very short time. And then there are those trials which take a lifetime. Think about the our Kubernetes center, right, he lost his son use of what he said, and when you saw this, and I was still very young. And then eventually, when he saw him when he met him, it was definitely after use of ARIA Salaam was past the age of 40. Because prophets are given Prophethood at the age of 40. And
use have already said I was a prophet in the prison. Right? And so definitely, he he spent decades, right decades away from his father. So your cornea salaams trial was was really long. But what was his response for sablon Jamil, that patience, beautiful patience is what I'm going to observe. And he did observe beautiful patients. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he also said warnham, an nostra ma sub that you should know that victory is with patients the help of Allah comes with patience, you have to wait out the storm, you have to endure until relief comes. Right? And when you look back and you see that, oh, it's been two years. It's been one year it's been three years it's
been 10 years. Even then, it just means that your duration of sobriety is long. And you know what, the longer your subject is, the greater the reward is. Right? As in the Quran, we learn that the reward of patients is belated ASAP. right it is without any measure it is unlimited. So, Laura lamb under nosler, Mara sub, be patient for the help of Allah. Now, being patient does not mean that you do nothing. No, you have to do whatever Allah subhanaw taala has enabled you to do whatever resources and opportunities that he has provided you you must use them. But the ultimate relief until that comes you must be patient. We learn another headache that Allah subhanaw taala says
regarding the DA of the oppressed, the prayer of the oppressed, that Allah subhanaw taala responds that by my honor and by my glory, I will help you meaning the the oppressed, even if it is after some time, well, I will borrow the Hainan meaning the help of Allah will come to the one who is oppressed, even if it is after some time, how long that duration is known only to Allah, He will provide aid, he will give success, he will help his slave and what is the responsibility of the slave, to be patient to remain hopeful, to not give up to keep striving to keep calling upon Allah subhanaw taala and to believe that the help of Allah is coming as we learn in the Quran.
That Allah in the nostre Allah he'll corrib unquestionably the Nussle the help of Allah is near it is coming. And you know what, when a person is in the midst of the you know, of the trial, it seems as though the trial is never going to end. Right. It seems like there could be nothing worse, right? or nothing more difficult. Or that, you know, it's it's it's been going on forever. But then we see you know, for example, in history, even there are people who who come who commit a you know, great oppression, and then what happens their time comes to an end, right. So likewise, the people who are on the other side meaning those who are being oppressed, the victims, for them also is a closure,
right for them also is a time when their ordeal finally comes to an end. So be patient for the help of Allah. Then when Allah subhanaw taala is unperceived This means that we should help the cause of Allah to get help from him. Right, helping the cause of Allah What does that mean? Helping the religion of Allah? If we want Allah subhanaw taala does help with regard to you know ourselves there might be you know, certain habits that you have and you are you really dislike them. Right. You may have you know, certain problems in your in your life and your personal life.
Perhaps with your family, perhaps in your work, perhaps with regard to your financial condition, whatever it may be, any anything that you're struggling with.
Remember that one of the ways to receive the help of Allah is to channel our efforts into helping the religion of Allah.
Help the religion of Allah help the cause of Allah, not because Allah subhanaw taala is in need of your help. No, Allah subhanaw taala does not need help. This is just an opportunity that Allah subhanaw taala is giving us so that when we help the religion of Allah, because of Allah subhanaw taala has mercy on such people.
Then because of that, we will receive the help of Allah in other in other matters of our lives also. This doesn't mean that we should help the cause of Allah so that you know, we can get married so that we can have children so that we can become rich and so that all our problems will go away. That should not be the reason. The reason should be for the pleasure of Allah. But realize that those who help the cause of Allah, that Allah subhanaw taala helps them. Allah subhanaw taala grants them success. Instead of Muhammad iron number seven we learn. Yeah, you have levina amanu in tancet Allah Hyun Soo, oh you will believe if you help Allah, Allah will help you. You help the cause of Allah.
Allah will help you when you submit academical, inserter hedge IRA number 40. Allah subhanaw taala says when a young surah Allah Humayun sudo, Allah will definitely indeed he will surely help. Those are the one who helps him, the person who helps Allah that Allah subhanaw taala will help him
into the room I number six, we learn where the law, this is the promise of Allah, that the believers will be given help lay up for Allah Who are the Allah subhanaw taala does not go against his promise what I can act on NASA and the moon, but most of the people do not know. So, if we want the help of Allah, we must we must help the cause of Allah and really think about yourself and what is it that I can do to contribute to, to to the religion of Allah, can it be by my, you know, by the monetary help that I can get, you know, for example, if you sign up for a monthly donation even right, that every month, you give $5 $2 $10 or you know, whatever tofield Allah subhanaw taala has given you,
but you make a point, that every month, there is a certain amount of money that you are giving for, you know, in order to support religious causes, it could be your local Masjid, right, it could be, you know, an Islamic institute that is focused on, you know, teaching knowledge of Islam to people, right, it could be for, you know, for publications, it could be, you know, for the distribution of free copies of Quran whatever cause that you can support you see, one is a charitable causes, right, where you are helping people you know, with their worldly needs. So, it could be with regard to food, you know, clean water, winter gear, etc. And that is excellent, and that is something that we
must contribute in, but at the same time, we should also give a portion of our wealth in the cause of Allah Fie Sabina. And this is a way of supporting the religion of Allah, that is one way, another way of you know, supporting the religion of Allah is to, you know, volunteer your services, right, your, your, your expertise, that Allah subhanaw taala has given you the ability to, you know, for example, make a website, right to do technical work, things like that. And your local mosque, for example, is in need of, you know, someone to fix their website to manage their Facebook page, for example, you know, to to make, you know, nice fliers for them, etc. So, you know, Allah Subhana,
Allah has given you that skill, use that skill to serve the religion of Allah. Right? You know, we use these skills for what for self promotion, right? Or for the purpose of, you know, making money and okay for making money, that's fine, halaal income, right? But think about it, the abilities, the strength that Allah subhanaw taala has given you, are you using that, to to serve Allah? Are you using that to help the religion of Allah? So when you help the religion of Allah, the cause of Allah remember that you will also receive the help of Allah, honestly.
When Allah subhanaw taala is under sleep. This means that we should praise and glorify Allah when we accomplish something. Meaning when we are victorious when we are successful, whether it is you know, small victories or a major accomplishment, whatever it may be, when we receive, you know the help of Allah we should thank and glorify Allah, and this is what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is told. And the same message is for us, where Allah says Elijah unnecessarily Allah He will forget that when the help of Allah comes and the conquest also well eight an essay the Hello nephin in Allah He of wotja for sub behind behind the ROB Becca was still few. do two things glorify Allah and
seek forgiveness from him, glorify Him in order to thank him and seek forgiveness from him for any shortcomings on your part. And then when Allah subhanaw taala is on the sleeve This also means that we should offer help to others when Allah subhanaw taala has enabled us when Allah subhanaw taala has given us certain abilities we should use them to help to help his slaves. We've heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said on sort of a haka, help your brother right, whether he is loved him, or he you know he is the oppressor or he is the oppressed. Now how is it that you help the oppressor? The Companions asked, and the Prophet salallahu Ernestina replied that you prevent
him you stop him from committing oppression, that is a way of helping him and then helping the oppressed that is, of course well known in another Hadees, we learn that whoever removes a difficulty from the difficulties of the world from a Muslim, that Allah subhanaw taala will remove a difficulty from him on the Day of Judgment, any you help others and Allah subhanaw taala will help you. So when Allah subhanaw taala is under sleep, how is it that we should call upon him because for the Ruby her call upon Allah by his beautiful names,
the way that we can make draw with this name is first of all, when we look at you know, some dogs in the Quran, we see clearly being mentioned one solna that Allah help us, right one sadhana and this is from NASA, and NASA lead is from the same route. So for example, in sort of earlier, Milan, we learned the durata robina Filipina do know but our is Rafa. nafi ambree now with a bit akademin I want sadhana on El Camino carefully, that when you have a great challenge before you write, when when when you're feeling weakness within you or in your circumstances, ask Allah subhanaw taala for help. How the first of all, you ask Allah for forgiveness that Oh Allah, our Lord, forgive us for
our sins and our you know, access in our matters, and plant firmly our feet meaning make a steadfast and one solina and help us against the people who disbelieve meaning you you help us against our enemy. We learn about another da which is in the sooner we learned that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would say Allah him especially summary we're both sorry that Oh Allah let my hearing and sight be sound when you're alone malware the Fany mini and there's similar versions of this Dora and make my hearing and my vision remain sound until I die when Sony eila Monza lemony. And yeah, Allah helped me against the person who oppresses me
what I really mean who said that he and give me revenge against him. Any This is a draw that we can make when we have been treated unfairly. Right when we have been clearly wronged, when we are feeling defeated, when we feel that you know, people have taken advantage of us, right, they have harmed us. And you see there are those situations where
not that you should be afraid of, you know, seeking help from people, or, you know, at least informing them of the oppression, the injustice that has been committed against you. But there are certain times where you don't feel like you can even tell anybody, you you feel extremely vulnerable, extremely afraid. But remember that even if there is no human being to believe you, no human being to come and help you. It doesn't matter. Allah subhanaw taala is there and his help is sufficient. So ask Allah when sarni Allah Manzella money, that Oh Allah helped me against the one who has oppressed me. We learn about another door, in which we learned that the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam would say Allahumma inni well after in early year one sarni Well, atom surah Allah Yeah, and there's different versions of this.
The one that you have on the screen right behind me while uttering aleja that oh my lord helped me and do not help anybody against me. One Sunni Wollaton surah Allah, Ya Allah assist me aid me and do not aid anyone against me any always make me on your side not that Your help is is coming against me because if that is the case I will never be successful.
Now inshallah we will move on to the next name for today which is the name alpha.
Now the name of Allah alpha this name occurs only once in the Quran. And there's and at another place we see what and the Hyrule Fatiha and you are the best of those who do Fattah Al Fatiha that is mentioned but al Fatah occurs only once we learn in the Quran, Kalia Juma Robaina now Rob buena. So my after Holbein and I will help overwhelm
Arlene and he is truly an Fatah and Eileen, the knowing. Now, what is the meaning of the name alfetta. First of all linguistically, when we look at the word Fatah, Fatah is derived from fatigue.
Fatigue is first of all to open it means to open or unlock what was closed or locked. So for example, from the same root is a word mister mister is a key, because you use that tool in order to open in order to unlock what was locked, right? So fat is forge meaning to open Faraj sorry to open right? To unlock, it's the opposite of his luck. Secondly, the word fat also means to explain what was unclear, to make clear what was confusing. So for the * mushkin is something that was confusing for the *, he explained it, right, he made it clear. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said that were a plea to mfat he held kelim I was given mfat he held Kalam and one of
the meanings of that is that I was given words that are very clear. And we see that in the speech of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam such short statements, but so powerful, so meaningful, so comprehensive, so eloquent, so far reaching any he was given mfat mathematically, words that were very clear in their meaning, and words that clarify also, meaning, they clarify matters of religion, from the words of the Prophet sallallahu earlier said that there's so much meaning so many rulings, that we can derive. So, this is a second implication or connotation of the word father to explain and make clear what was confusing. Thirdly, father also means to aid against an enemy. So, it gives
the meaning of Nussle. So, Father has meaning he aided him against his enemy or made him victorious. So, from the same root factor is used for conquest, right. And then finally, if that also means to judge, right to judge between people who are disputing people who are not in agreement, so father is to make a judgement. Why? Why is this called father because when a judgment like that is made, that the matter is become clear, right? And when something is opened up, it's unraveled, right? All whatever was confusing, has now become very clear. So, Fatah, who is Fatah, now the word Fatah, it has mobile hyperbole meaning for third is the one who greatly opens, who opens what is closed again
and again, and who opens and unlocks what was very strongly closed, right? Meaning what seemed impossible, but alfetta is able to open that also. So when Allah subhanaw taala is and Fatah What does that mean? First of all, it means that Allah is the opener, meaning he is the one who opens who unlocks what is closed. He is the one who opens and unlocks the gates of His mercy. He is the one who unlocks the gates of his, you know, sustenance for his slaves, bottle cat blessings, hierarchy, all good things come from him. And he is the one who, who opens up the gates of, you know, His mercy, his blessings in the world, for his slaves and also in the hereafter. And he is the one who
opens up the doors of His goodness
For his slaves and these could be in matters of religion. And this could also be in the matters of, you know their worldly affairs. So in pseudotumor nafi. Kuhn is number seven, we learn what Illa he has, you know, somehow what he will, that to Allah belongs the treasuries of the skies and the earth. So, the keys to the treasuries the store houses of the heavens and the earth, all of the resources, they belong to who they belong to Allah. So, he is the one who opens them up, you know, by his wisdom for who he wants, and when he wants and no one can prevent it. In sort of the shoulder i a 12, we learn lahoma kalido somehow it was up to Him belong the keys of the skies and the earth
the absolute risk column in your shot way up to the roof, he is the one who expands provision for whom he wants and he is the one who also constricts it, meaning it is completely up to Allah. And remember that when Allah subhanaw taala when he unlocks something, when he opens something up for a slave, the No one can close that no one can prevent that from reaching that slave. And when he decides to close something, then no one can open that matter. So insert file played i a tool we learn may have the hula, hula nassima, rock matting, falam sikhala, that whatever Allah subhanaw taala Yes, the whatever he opens up his mercy for people, the No one can withhold it. So for
example, if Allah subhanaw taala decides to send down rain from the sky who could block that rain from falling? People we cannot fall on sikhala there is no one at all who can withhold it. And at the same time when I am sick for Allah muscarella, who min Bharti and whatever Allah subhanaw taala withholds whatever he decides to not give to not open the No one can release that after him.
This is why we learn in salt milk, that cooler item in US Bahama como Hola. Have you considered that if your water went sunken, meaning deep into the earth, then familia tea can be made in Marine who could bring you flowing water. So if you have anything, it's because Allah subhanaw taala has given it and no one can withhold that from you. And then remember that Allah when he is the one who opens this means that he is the one who opens the gates of the sky also. And we learned about this, you know, for example, in a Hadees, that when a person makes will do
and and he says, Let ilaha illa Allah right. Sorry, in Hades, we learned that when a person says La ilaha illa Allah sincerely with his heart, that the gates of the sky are opened up, right meaning the statement is welcomed, it is received, you know, it is honored,
because of the sincerity of that sleeve. We also learned that the gates of the sky are open for the souls of the righteous, meaning when a person dies and their soul is taken by the angels, if that's if that person was righteous, then that soul is you know, it is taken up the gates of the sky are open. And we also learn that people who perform their obligations, then the gates of the sky are also open for them. Then remember that Allah subhanaw taala also opens the gate of forgiveness, meaning he welcomes he receives of, you know, the seeking of forgiveness from his slaves and he forgives them. So we learn in a Hadees that took the who abou summer he Coolio mugnaini were homies
in that the gates of the sky are open every Monday and Thursday. Right and as a result of that, of every person, every slave, who does not associate any partner with Allah is forgiven, except for the two people who had some kind of, you know, a fight because of which they're not talking to one another. So it is a defer their matter until yesterday how until they fix you know their relationship. And there is also a gate of repentance, right that Allah subhanaw taala has opened up and remember that Allah subhanaw taala is the one who will open it and he will enable the opening of the gates of Paradise also. Meaning when the gates of Paradise are open, only then the inhabitants
of Paradise will be able to enter Paradise. So we learned that when the people of of taqwa will be brought to paradise, either jet will have a foot he had a Buddha. Its doors will have been opened from before. Right Jeanette, you are the name of the hula, hula Buddha, the gates of Paradise will be opened up for them. But we learn that for some people, the gates of the sky are not open meaning the souls of
People who are arrogant the people who disbelief when when they die their souls have when they're taken up the gates of the sky or not opened led to the hula hoop Ababa sama. In fact, on the day of judgment, it is the gates of * that will be open for them when you're Yeah, the villa. So this is the first meaning of the name of attack, meaning the one who opens. Secondly, I want to Allah subhanaw taala is alpha, it means that he is the one who, who clarifies who it who discloses who explains, you know, matters which are complicated, or matters that are unknown. So for example, in the Quran, we learn about, you know, the people of the book, that they would condemn each other that
to had this owner whom Bhima Fatah holla, who are laico, do inform them about what Allah subhanaw taala has disclosed to you. Meaning what a Lost Planet Allah has revealed to you, what Allah subhanaw taala has opened up for you, which is the identity of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam meaning you know that he is truly the Prophet that we have been waiting for, but we're not going to believe him, because he is not of us. So why are you telling other people about what Allah subhanaw taala has disclosed to you? So the matter was, you know, complicated for them or unclear to them. But what happened Allah subhana wa Tada, did make it clear to them, multiple times the people
of the book came to the Prophet sallallahu earlier was element question him, right, with different kinds of questions. And every time that there was a challenge that they posed, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was able to answer them, right. And so over and over again, the truth of the Prophet sallallahu radiocentre was clarified to them, but think about how blind such eyes would be, and how sealed such hearts would be, that a matter is disclosed to them, it is opened up to them, it is made clear to them, yet they choose to deny what every other Billa. So, remember that, that Allah subhanaw taala is the one who opens, who opens up meaning he clarifies matters which are
unknown, or which are hidden, which are complicated. So this means that he is the giver of knowledge, he is the source of knowledge. And and he is the source of understanding. Right? And then this also means that he's the one who opens the hearts and eyes of the believer, so they're able to see the truth. Right, they're able to accept it, and they're able to do what is good, right? He is the one who gives them clarity, awareness, and that willingness to do good. He opens up their eyes and hearts so they're able to embrace the truth. And they are the ones who who benefit from the guidance that Allah subhanaw taala has given. We learn in the Hadees that what Allah subhanaw taala
intends good for a slave. He he sweetens him, so the companions asked, what does that mean? Right? And the verb that is used in means that he, he makes him like honey, right? He sweetens him so the Prophet so the companions asked, what does that mean and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi Salaam explained that he if the hula hula hula Ramadan slowly Han cobbler Moti that Allah subhanaw taala opens up
for him the opportunity to do good before he dies, meaning that slave that Allah subhanaw taala is intended good for that person is able to see opportunities of higher and they're able to benefit from them. Right? So who who gave this person that that clarity, that that knowledge, that awareness, that realization that this is this is a good thing to do, so I should do it. And then sometimes we know what is good, but and we are also trying to do it but we're just struggling. It feels as though we're just you know, hitting ourselves against a wall like we're not going anywhere. So who enables It is Allah subhanaw taala who gives Sophia? So Alpha Theta meaning the one who
clarifies the one who opens up the way for a slave. And then when Allah subhanaw taala is alfetta number three This means that he is the one who prevails, because remember, feather also means victory. So he is the one who prevails, he's the one who gives victory he aids his slaves. So we learned the Prophet sallallahu Urdu cinemas is addressed in the Quran in total factor that enough additional like a fat ham will be now indeed we have given you a clear victory. So that clear victory came from who from Allah alpha
right? We learned that new Harley salon called upon Allah in Soto comma we learn for the Ababa summer Eb mat in 100 that are lost Panasonic opened up the gates of the sky with with water that was flowing continuously, right and
was for, for for what purpose this was to help give victory to who to his slave knew or to his center.
And then finally alfetta also means the judge meaning the one who decides between between the slaves. So, whether it is some dispute that people have in the world, or it is, you know, a dispute that is not resolved in this life, then remember Allah alfetta is the one who will judge between his slaves on the Day of Judgment, and He will judge with complete justice. And this is what we learned in sort of suburbia 26 that kuliah Jamaat Robaina now, Rob buena, said that our Lord will gather us together. So my after Holbein, Anna, and then He will judge between us will help with truth will who will Fatah who are live and he is alfetta. And Arlene, so alfetta means he is the supreme judge, and
ultra lean the knowing the one who knows. And you see the the combination of these names over here, alpha allele. There are many judges that are appointed in the world, but the kind of rulings they issue are completely wrong, or they're completely unfair. And the reason is that they don't have complete knowledge. Allah subhanaw taala is alfetta and he is Aleem, and this is why we're under Hyrule fatty when you are the best of those who judge because he does not judge with you know, unfairness, rather he judges with absolute justice and complete and perfect knowledge.
So, when Allah subhanaw taala is alfetta What is our responsibility? What are we supposed to do? This means that first of all, we should believe that all openings are from him, meaning if any matter is closed, it is only open it can only be opened by who, by Allah subhanaw taala. So for example, it could be the matter of your career, it could be the matter of your education, it could be the matter of you know, your family, your future. So, remember any path that you want to be open, it can only be opened by alfetta. And when it when Allah subhanaw taala opens a matter for his live, then yes, it is a mercy, but it can also be a trial. It is a mercy in the sense that the good things
that Allah subhanaw taala gives the risk that he gives, yes, it is a mercy but at the same time it is a trial. It's a test. So, we learn for example, instead of to arrive I sorry in total not either I have 52 that far sulla who and yet the a bill for three oh MD monitoring the E that Allah will bring further he will bring victory right or a matter from himself. In sort of to set in sort of such that i a 28 we learn way a coluna matter how the Federal Income side the thing they say, when will this victory be won? Will this further be if you were truthful. So call yo malfatti lie and ferula Dena kifaru emmanuella who means that victory is coming, but on that day, those who
disbelieve you know if they believe that is not going to help them they're not going to be given another chance. So, victory help, success, it comes from who it comes from Allah and it could come as a mercy It could also come as a trial. And remember that, when Allah subhanaw taala is the one who opens the gates of sustenance,
any all matters are in his hand that our ultimate concern should be to please Him. And this is why we should also rely upon him in in all of our matters. In total arafa 96 we learn well under Ll Cora Manu with the cola, Fatah, la himbo katomina sama evil and if the people of the towns had believed and they feared Allah, we would have opened for them the blessings of the sky and the earth. However when I can can nibble but they denied for a while the Nahum Bhima can we be born so we seize them, meaning with punishment because of what they were earning?
When Allah subhanaw taala is elverta This means that we should benefit from the you know from the fact that you know, he he opens the gates of the sky, he opens the gate of forgiveness and he opens the gate of repentance, meaning we should send up you know, good deeds and good words and we should make the wrong like we learned in their head these in the last third of the night.
When Allah subhanaw taala descends to the lowest sky, so much of the hubbub of summer, then the gates of the sky opened up and Allah subhanaw taala invites us to call upon him so that is the prime time you know to do something good. recite some Quran, make some Vicar even if you're
laying in bed, at least make some vicars. Right? You know, make some dogs ask Allah subhanaw taala for something make is to fall, seek forgiveness from Allah, big tober ask Allah subhanaw taala to forgive you, I give some charity, and these days or Hamdulillah, you can simply give charity, you can easily give charity from your phone, you don't even have to get out of bed, Allahu Akbar. So,
we should take advantage of this. And then when Allah subhanaw taala is unfit that this means that we should be careful when the gates of sustenance are opened. I mentioned this earlier as well, that when an opportunity is open for you, then remember this is a blessing, but it can also be a trial. So be careful. And the Prophet sallallaahu artisan warned us. He said, what I truly fear for you after me is that youth who are an equal member or cattle of the blessings of the world are going to be opened up for you, meaning the riches of the world are going to start flowing towards you, and you're going to become distracted because of them, you're going to start to compete in regard to
them, and you're going to neglect your duty to a lot because of them.
In total anom I have 44 we learn Philomena Summa dokie Ruby fatahna Allah of Weber cliche, that when they forgot what they were reminded of, then as a consequence, as a punishment, we opened up the gates of everything for them, meaning we filled them, we fill their lives with the riches of the world, until either 40 hobbema or two when they were so happy with all that they had been given, they were enjoying their life, having fun having a great time, a hardener, homebox that we seize them suddenly for either, who Mobley soon and then they fell in despair. So we must be careful. Just because we have an abundance of blessings. Everything we try to do is opened up for us we find no
obstacles, or you know something wrong, something sinful has been opened up for us. It has been made easy for us, it doesn't mean that it's okay for us to do that. We must be very, very careful. And then we should also be a key to goodness, when Allah soprano thought is alpha, then remember that a los pilot otter uses some people to be a key to goodness, there is a hadith which is reported in Eben magia. And Giovanni has declared it as hesson. In that Hadees, we learned that this goodness meaning this religion contains many treasures. And for those treasures, there are keys meaning to unlock those treasures, you need keys. So good news to the person whom Allah makes a key to
goodness, and a lock for evil of any there's some people who becomes a means of accessing a lot of good right meaning they become a means for other people, they unlock, you know, goodness for other people, because of them, you know, people are able to benefit so much. So we should check ourselves that what is it that we are bringing to humanity or to our community? Or just you know, the people at home? Are we a source of goodness for them? Or are we a source of trouble for them? And then when Allah subhanaw taala is and Fatah This means that we should seek entry into paradise from all of its gates, right, almost Parnell tada can open all of those gates for you. But the question is that are
we worthy of that? Right? And we learn about how there's a gate for the people who fast right there is a gate for you know, people who give sadaqa there's a gate for Abu Jihad with the people who strive in the way of Allah. Right and abubaker and so on and so forth.
And there's a gate of Salah right so abubaker will do love more on who asked that Yasuda Allah is there anyone who will be invited into paradise from all of those gates and the Prophet sallallahu Urdu sent me said yes, and I hope that you will be one of them. So we should strive to perfect our Islam, we should strive to do you know good to the best of our ability so that all of the gates of Paradise, are opened up for us.
And then, at the same time when our last panel thought is an attack, then we should avoid the gates of evil. Meaning we should refrain from those things which lead to evil. in Hades we learned that do not drink wine, do not drink alcohol because it is the key to every evil. And then when the last panel thought is unfit that this means that we should also seek clarity from him any matter that is, you know, difficult unclear to us, we should ask Allah subhanaw taala to clarify that for us to open up our heart to open up our mind to open up our eyes. We learned FM and shutter holla who saw that a hole in Islam, right the person whose chest Allah opens up to Islam. So that is what we want.
Rubbish Riley Sabri Oh Allah open up my chest for me. And one of the ways in which we can you know open up our hearts is by reflecting upon the Quran in surah Mohammed i a 24 Wheeler and a fellow at the Barun Al Quran Will they not reflect upon the Quran Allah Kuru been acquired or are there locks upon their hearts any if a person does not reflect upon the Quran, this means that their heart is locked. So, Allah is alpha he has legislated ways for that, you know opening your heart you know opening you know your the the pathways before you, but we have to use those means, right we have to reflect upon the Quran. You know, for example, total Fatiha right Al Fatiha is what literally means
the opening because we're total fatty how we open the Quran, right we begin the Quran. But super Fatiha is not just you know, words that are supposed to be recited so that the Vita is a healing, right? It's a source of Shiva, meaning when you when you recite it, then inshallah Allah subhanaw taala will cure you Suba to fatty her honey it's it's a gift that was given to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it's described as a light. And imagine if the opening of the Quran is so blessing than what do you expect is in the rest of the Quran, it is it is filled with goodness. So Allah subhanaw taala is alfetta He has given us different means in order to open the paths of
goodness for us. So we must employ those means we must use those means and part of that is to learn the Quran. Right part of that is to recite the Quran, part of that is to reflect upon the Quran. And I want to share with you again, I mentioned this in one of the earlier classes as well that insha Allah in January, a little the institute in Canada is beginning a new program, a 30 mil quote on an in this course it's an 18 month long course it is for women, by women and in this course of hamdulillah students covered that the seed of the entire Quran, they get to recite the entire Quran, it is all focused on the Quran. So I encourage you, you know, join this program, if you know you
know of people around you, your sisters, your cousins, your friends, any encourage them to learn the Quran. You see one of the scholars said that
connect with the Quran, and you will find Baraka, you will find blessing you will find goodness. Any there is no way that you spend time with the Quran and you don't receive some kind of goodness from it, or through it. You certainly will. So the questions that we have, you know, the confusions that we have the doubts that we have the things that are unclear to us, right. All of those matters become clear through the Quran. And then the obstacles that we have in our lives, you know the hurdles that we face in our lives, Allah subhanaw taala is and Fatah insha Allah through the blessing of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala will open up ways of goodness for you. So connect with
the Quran, share this information with your friends and family so that more and more people will benefit in sha Allah. Finally, the last section, the how to call upon Allah subhanaw taala through this blesseth name alfetta First of all, when, you know there's a dispute that you have with someone, and it happens, you know, there are financial matters, family matters over which people have disputes and you know, there's there's nothing there is no result that is coming about the results are disputed, right. So in that case, what do you need, you need that judgment from Allah, that your Allah make that judgment between us and your Allah and bring you know clarity. So instead
of the sharara
we learn about
the draw of sorry, insert to our graph, we learn Robin if there have been an hour Bina tominaga will help what and the Hyrule Fatiha that Oh our Lord, or judge between us and our people with truth and you are the best of those who judge and insert the sharara I have 117 and 118. We learn faster Albania, Albania, Han Fatah, when a genie woman marry me, meaning that the Arab judge between me and them meaning my opponents with a judgment, meaning that is final that is perfect, and save me and those who are with me of those who believe. And then you see sometimes there are matters where
you
There's no easy answers. There are no easy answers or the matter is just so unique, that it is so different that really that there's no simple answer. So in that case, again, ask Allah subhanaw taala for clarification, we learnt about an incident where, you know a man, he had a certain family issue, you know, where he, where he saw his wife doing something, you know, basically he saw his wife committing Zina. Now, what was he supposed to do if he did not have four witnesses? So if he said something, then he would be punished. And at the same time, how was he to live with, you know, his wife who had committed Zina, and he and he, and he saw that with his own eyes, and he, how was
he supposed to live with that? So he asked the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And the Prophet sallallahu, early cinema was silent, right, because nothing had been revealed regarding that. And the man said, Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah, if Allah open up the matter for us, give give clarity, right? Make judgment regarding this matter, Allah him. And he met, and he began making the art this has mentioned in Sahih Muslim, a majority Yeah, Drew, he kept making draw fun. So I have to learn and then the verses of Leon were revealed, and which are in sort of the new meaning an entire legal law was given regarding that matter. Now, of course, for your matters, there's no revelation that's going to come down. However, Allah subhanaw taala is able to, to, to create means for you, so ask Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, open up the matter, Allah, Judge Allah, provide clarity. And then finally, we learn about this
beautiful doll which many people are familiar with and when we enter the masjid, than we should say, Allah homo fiddly, the newbie was totally aware about automatic that Oh Allah, forgive me my sins, and open up the gates of your mercy for me. Another is homophily the newbie with a barber felt like that, Oh Allah, forgive me my sins and open up the gates of your favor for me, so make this Darwin entering the masjid and otherwise also ask Allah subhanaw taala to open up the gates of His mercy and His blessings for you. Allah Ameen. inshallah, we will conclude over here, I'm sorry for taking extra time today. I really wanted to complete this theme today. inshallah, we will conclude the
information regarding the flyers or the tolino Quran program, inshallah will be shared with you here in the comments. So panicle lahoma behandling shadow Illa Illa Illa. Anta astell Furukawa Tobu la casa more Alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
