			Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Welcome to another episode of the power of victory. We
still talking about the benefits of Vicar and as we come to the end of our discussion about the
benefits of Vicar, we really haven't covered even a tiny portion of all of the benefits of Vicar in
the life of a Muslim. But the purpose behind these first few episodes is simply to give you an idea
to motivate you to make you feel like you know, no matter how complicated Islam is getting, and no
matter how many things that are that you have to do, and no matter all of the deeds that you strive
to do every single day, they need to be underpinned, and they need to be consistent along with the
		

			remembrance of Allah azza wa jal,
		

			there is a hadith of a bedwin. And the bed when he came to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, and he said, O Messenger of Allah, the halaal under the rulings of Islam, the Sharia of
Islam, the different parts of Islam have become many to me, tell me something comprehensive, that
will be enough for me. So I'm sort of like struggling with all of these things, this halaal and the
haraam and, and all of these issues of Islam, because of course, in the beginning, Islam was very
limited in the number of things people had to do. And it increased over time as more laws were
revealed by our last panel who are tighter. So as the laws got larger, a number of bedwin came to
		

			the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he said all of the tenets of Islam, and all
of the the Shetty out of Islam and the Pillars of Islam become many. So tell me, he said for Bernie
be amarin jamea telling me something completely comprehensive, something that is just covers
everything that I need in every single way.
		

			And it will be enough for me, I'll be able to suffice myself with it. So the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said to him, la cabbie Vickery la heeta, Allah, you have to remember Allah,
		

			you have to do the remembrance of Allah. The bedwin said to him, will this be enough for me or
messenger of Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said yes, and not only that, but it will
be more than you need. Yes, and it will be even more than you need. In other words, it's not just
going to suffice you. So just going to get you to the minimum level, it's going to take you beyond
the minimum level as well, and into the higher levels of the practicing of Islam. And that's because
if we look at the vicar of Allah, it compra It comprises everything that we need. When we pray, we
do the vicar of a law, when we fast we engage ourselves in the remembrance of Allah, throughout our
		

			days in our lives, we're engaged in the remembrance of Allah, it leads us to doing all of the
actions of Islam properly, and it underpins all of the actions of Islam because every action of
Islam that we do, is underpinned by the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that's why it is
Amman jamea, a comprehensive thing that we can do, which will not only suffice us but will actually
take us to the higher levels of Paradise that we wish to achieve.
		

			Let's take a moment to look at the gatherings of remembrance. Those gatherings where people get
together, and they're engaged in the remembrance of Allah. Now, when I say gatherings of
remembrance, many people may misunderstand me, they may think that we're talking about gathering a
large number of people together, and saying in unison Subhan, Allah Alhamdulillah La ilaha illAllah
Allahu Akbar. That's not the meaning of the gatherings of remembrance. If you remember back to the
very first episode of this series of the power of the
		

			we said that there are two conditions for any good deed to be accepted. It has to be in accordance
with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. It has to be sincerely for
Allah alone. So this idea of getting people together doing collective liquor, or something like
that, even though a person may believe that this comes under the majority of liquor gatherings of
remembrance, in reality, if the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam didn't do it, we don't do it. And
it's that simple. If he didn't do it, we don't do it because everything that we need in our religion
is there for us. We already have it from the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam. So the
		

			kinds of gatherings of remembrance are not
		

			Collectively sing in unison sapan Allah or for one person to say soprano line everyone else to say
soprano la 100 times or anything like that, but they are these gatherings that in which Allah azza
wa jal is mentioned frequently. So let's say that you gather together with your friends, you gather
together with your family, you gather together in a Masjid, and you talk about some beneficial
knowledge. How many times during these episodes the short episodes of the power of Vicar have we
mentioned the name of Allah remembered Allah? Have we praised Allah have we said You know, one of
these two eyes these comprehensive two hours and comprehensive as car you know, these simple things
		

			of remembering a lot all the time, that everyone is sat at home remembering Allah, that people
gather together and they hear the name of Allah mentioned, and they hear the praise of Allah
mentioned, when you go to teach someone about Islam, how much? And how often do you praise a lot you
sort of mentioned the praise of align your thanks of Allah. It's a frequent thing, even when you
gather together with your friends, and you come together just for a social gathering, is that
gathering a one in which Allah His name is frequently mentioned, not in the means of swearing by a
lot and saying such things, but simple remembrance of Allah, advising each other to truth, advising
		

			each other to patients. If this is a gathering like this, then this is a gathering from the
gathering of the remembrance of Allah. When you get together to read the Quran, to your teacher, and
you recite some of the plan to your teacher. This is from the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. It's from the most significant parts of the remembrance of Allah because Allah describes the
Quran as advic Allah describes the remembrance the vicar, the remembrance. So this remembrance is
something that when we recite the Quran to our teachers, it's also a gathering of remembrance. So
these gatherings of remembrance are those which are in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messenger
		

			of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		

			I want to begin by reading you an ethyl, a narration of one of the companions and this companion is
are male and female. He says may Allah be pleased with him, he says, as a man he has either my
uncle's Eman goes up and down. We all know that our Eman it goes up and our Eman goes down. So they
asked him, they said, what makes your demand go up. And what makes your demand goes down. He says if
we met remember alive we do the vicar of a law as well. And we praise Him and we glorify Him, this
increases our email. And if we forget about him, and we lose the remembrance of him, and we forget
this decreases our Eman And there are many many other statements of the companions, which talk about
		

			a similar thing. So Vicar raises up our Eman. When we gather together we remember Allah we praise
Him we glorify Him we say supine who were to Allah, we say as the agenda we say, you know, gender
feola we say any of these kind of simple remembrances after the name of Allah. This kind of
remembering of a lion increases our email. And when we forget about Allah, we forget to give Allah
his rights we don't mention about Allah azzawajal we don't say Ma sha Allah, we don't say in sha
Allah. Then what happens is our Eman goes down. Another many a hadith there is the hadith of Anna's
Eben Malik, may Allah be pleased with him that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		

			said, but if you go by the rehab agenda, agenda, this you know the gardens of Paradise. And he said
about he mentioned about these gardens of Paradise and the companions they said to him, what are
these gardens of Paradise? What do you mean the gardens of Paradise if when we go by the gardens of
Paradise, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, the gardens of Paradise are the
gathering of the remembrance of Allah azza wa jal. So these gatherings where we get together to
remember Allah, we talk about beneficial knowledge. We mentioned Allah's Name, we glorify Allah,
these gatherings of beneficial knowledge in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu
		

			alayhi wasallam the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described them as the gardens of Paradise.
And even Okay, you may Allah be pleased with him, he said, Whoever wants to live in the gardens of
Paradise on this earth, then let him attend and let him sit in the room the good the gatherings of
remembrance the gatherings of Vicar, because these gatherings of Vicar are the gardens of Paradise
on this earth, the gardens of Paradise on this earth. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
in the hadith of Abu huraira Indeed, Allah has angels and these angels, they are
		

			They are extra they are these angels, they Their job is to go around, and to go around all of the
different places all of the different roads, all of the different streets. And they look for the
people who are remembering Allah. So when they find a group of people who are remembering Allah,
they call all of the other angels. And they say, Come on, come on, you come to this thing which you
need, because these angels, they, they have a need, and their need is to attend the gatherings of
the remembrance. And so when they attend these gatherings, they surround and cover these gatherings
with their wings, all the way up to the heavens of this earth. And then their Lord, Allah azza wa
		

			jal, and Allah knows best. Don't forget that Allah is asking these questions and he knows best. So
Allah azza wa jal, while he knows best, he says, What are my slaves saying? So the angels say they
are saying Subhana Allah, and they are saying Allahu Akbar, and they are saying Alhamdulillah and
they are glorifying you and they are praising you. And so Allah azza wa jal says, Have they seen me?
I saw the angel say, no, berala they have not seen you. So Allah says, what would it be like if they
had seen me? So the angels say, if they had seen you, they would be even stronger in worship of you
than they are now. And they would praise you even more, and they would glorify You even more. And
		

			they would say, Subhana Allah even more. And then Allah azza wa jal says, what are they asking me
for? He knows best what they're asking, but he wishes for this to be shown in front of the angels,
for the angels to all bear witness, what are they asking me for? So the angel say they're asking you
for paradise. And so Allah says, Have they seen this paradise? And the angels say no, by Allah, our
Lord, they have not seen this paradise. And so that Allah azza wa jal says, what would they be like
if they had seen it? The angels say they, if they had seen it, they would be even more keen, even
more keen, and they will be even stronger in seeking it, and they will desire for even more. And
		

			then Allah says, what are they seeking refuge from? And the angel say they're seeking refuge from
the hellfire. And so Allah azza wa jal says, Have they seen the Hellfire? They say no, they have not
seen it by Allah, our Lord, they have not seen it. And so Allah says, how would they be if they had
seen it? And the angels say if they had seen it, they would run away from it even more, there'll be
even quicker and they would feel it even more. And then Allah azza wa jal says, I bear witness in
front of you, I bear witness to you, that I have forgiven them. And so an angel from the angels say,
amongst them is so and so and he is not from them. And he only just came because of a need that he
		

			had. And Allah azza wa jal says, that they are going you know, that they are all sitting together
and this one who is who is there for some other reason is not going to harm them. So you are much as
panela that are Lost Planet Allah
		

			boasts about this action of the slaves to the angels a Lost Planet, Allah forgives them, because
they are remembering Allah together in one of these beautiful gatherings of remembrance, and we ask
Allah subhanaw taala to make our gatherings gatherings of remembrance upon the Sunnah of His
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I do hope you will join us again for another episode of the
power of Vicar coming up soon as shout Allahu Allah. And until then Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh
