00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			We have a narration that comes to us
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			and this is in the end of which
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			he
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			compiled and he added 2
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			further a hadith or he added several a
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			hadith to Imam Anawis
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			where he says that Abdul Abdullah
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			ibn Buser
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			Radhiallahu Anhu
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			he narrates that a man came to the
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			And he told him
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			the rulings of Islam,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			these practices that you've taught us,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			they've become so much for us.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			And you can imagine he's maybe feeling a
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			little bit overwhelmed at the moment.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			And he says, can you give can you
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			give a door
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			or a means of access?
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			A way that we can basically hold on
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			to, that we can cling on to that
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			is comprehensive
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			in nature, that is all encompassing in nature.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			And
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says in a hadith
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			we all know very well. He said, let
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			not your tongue cease
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			from being moist
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			from the remembrance of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			Continue in the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			ta'ala. And this wording is from imam,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			imam Ahmed Rahim, allahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			As I was thinking about this hadith and
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			reflecting upon it,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			I remembered an autobiographical
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			story some
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			books that I think we can derive a
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			few lessons from about the impact of thikir
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			and how we can actually make this a
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			part of our lives and also teach this
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			to our families.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			And we have a story from, Sahilub Nuh
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			Abdullah H2 study, Rahimu Allah, that he narrates
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			about himself.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			And he says, when I was 3 years
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:44
			old,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			he's a little kid,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			he said, I used to be with my
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			my my maternal uncle, my mother's brother,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			and I used to wake up in the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			middle of the night and see him praying.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			And we can probably infer that he's referring
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			to Tahajjud here.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			And you can imagine a little toddler kind
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			of coming up and and coming underneath the
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			blanket and and looking and curiosity. Why what
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			is this person doing? Why is he getting
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			up in the depths of the night? What
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			is he up to?
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			And his he says, my uncle asked me
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			do you not remember
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:18
			Allah
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			who created you?
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			And he says, I asked him, how do
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			I do that?
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			And he told him, I want you to
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			just contemplate
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			about these three concepts here.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			He literally tells him in Arabic
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			to say it
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			with your heart and not with your tongue.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			And he says, Allah
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			Allah is with me.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			Allah
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			Allah is looking upon me. He's observing me.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:46
			Allah
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			is watching me.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			And he says, just just think about these
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			words. Just think about them. And so he
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			says, you know, I was a I was
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			a little kid, and I would just wake
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			up at night. I would just think, wow.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			Allah is with me. Like the ayah.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			He's with you wherever you are. Not literally,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			but in terms of knowledge. He's aware of
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			everything you do. So I would be thinking
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			about these. Wow. Allah is watching me. Allah
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:12
			is with me.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			He said, I went to my uncle and
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			I told him, I've I've been really thinking
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			about this. He said, now now do it
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			consistently. Every night when you wake up, you
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			see me praying. Just remember Allah and think
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			about your relationship with Allah
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			He said, I continue to do it.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			And then I went back to him and
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			I told him, you know, Khali, I've been
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			doing it.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			He said, increase it. He said, I increased
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			it and then I told him that I've
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			I've really been thinking about Allah. I've been
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			remembering him regularly.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Every single night he said, do not leave
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			this until the grave. And it's a long
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			story that he narrates but he basically says,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			I, you know, I became 6 and 7.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			I was sent to the Maktiv. I memorized
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			the Quran.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			He said, thereafter,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			and this is the key point here, he
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			said, my uncle took me aside.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			And he said, oh, Sahil, I have a
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			question for you.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			Tell me about the person
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			is always with him
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			or with her.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			If
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			Allah is with this person,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			and Allah is looking upon this person, and
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			Allah is observing this person, and Allah is
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			watching this person,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			Is this person going to do anything displeasing
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			to Allah?
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			He says that's where it hit him.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			And, you know, the lesson that I wanna
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			drive from the story, obviously, you know, these
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			words, they're not they're not words that I
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			recommend any of us, you know, think about
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			or contemplate.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			We have we have the Quran.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			We have the Hadith of Rasulullah Sallahu Alaihi
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			Salam. And how many hadith of have come
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			to us 1400 years later.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			And so on and so forth. But the
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			lesson here is one child's journey, he says,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			as he grew up, as he became 12
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			years old and he became more conscious of
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and how it happened
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			over time and how it wasn't necessarily
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			words that are uttered. Because he was in
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			a positive atmosphere in his home, because he
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			had people who were worshiping Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			Ta'ala, he was positively influenced by them. And
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			so the reminder that I wanna remind myself
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			and you all, as well of, but starting
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			with myself is first of all to act
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			upon the,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			to contemplate the, to not make it just
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			words that we say
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			but to really think about it and to
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			let it penetrate our heart through regular and
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			regular
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			recitation of the
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			and the that we have from the Quran.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			The second lesson that we derive from it
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			is that sometimes we might not see the
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:48
			effect of prayer and regular salah and it
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			just takes time until we feel its sweetness.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			As he says in the long narration, he
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			said, I felt this halawah inside and until
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			it begins to influence us positively. And 4th,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			that the ultimate,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			you know, influence of this
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			is that it encourages us to do good
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			and it prevents us from doing what is
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			displeasing to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. We ask
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			you,
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			In this night when we've gathered in one
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			of your houses after worshiping you, we ask
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			you, To make us from adzakirin,
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:19
			wazakirat,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			from those who remember you. We ask you,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			Allah, to make us from those who remember
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			you in the morning and in the evening.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			We ask you, Allah, to make us from
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			those who remember you at night when others
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			are sleeping. We ask you, you, Allah, to
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			bless our family to also be people of
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:35
			remembrance,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			We ask you to fill our houses and
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			our homes with. And we ask you, allah,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			to make this
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			penetrate our hearts. We ask you to fill
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			our hearts with remembrance of you,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			and we ask you Arab that this
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			be a means for your to do what
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			is pleasing to you and to avoid what
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			is displeasing and that it be a means
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			to protect us from the and to enter
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			us into Jannah.
