			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah
he salatu salam from Bishop Lee Sabri was silly me, you know lock that Amelia Sani of our polies who
the Hanukkah, Lyle Milena Elana Arlington, in NACA and Talal, even Harken, mighty respected Brothers
and Sisters in Islam everywhere once again, welcome to Lifestyle in new video series to remind
ourselves of the important concepts that we need to bring to our lives so that we can deserve the
title of being Muslims in sha Allah tan today is one of the most important concept that we need to
remind ourselves with, and we need to strive to achieve it in sha Allah, Allah because Subhanallah
		
00:01:07 --> 00:02:00
			part of our dua part of our prayers every single day at least, we recited 17 times asking Allah
subhanaw taala to guide us to a surat al Musa theme to the straight path to the upright path that
would lead us to Gemini in sha Allah, Allah today's manner or ethic or concept that we need to
achieve insha Allah Allah is the honor, as translated steadfastness or firmness upon the path of
Allah subhanaw taala this is something that many people think that it's it is optional, as we
mentioned earlier about being transparent, being honest, being truthful, all these are not actually
optional manners that we may choose to adhere to. Rather it is absolutely essential. It's absolutely
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:47
			obligatory. That's why Allah Subhan Allah says in the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad SAW Selim, first
starting, Kana will move woman tab a man and be steadfast for stalking, be firm upon the truth upon
the straight path, you as you have been commanded. That's the thing. So it's not an option. It's a
command from Allah subhanaw taala to remain steadfast and firm upon the straight path, because the
challenges of this dunya are plenty, you will be deviated left and right, or there will be a lot of
drilling channels that will drag you away from the path of Allah subhanaw taala. So you need to be
strong, we need to be strong. That's why the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam in a in a beautiful
		
00:02:47 --> 00:03:33
			narration that is very popular, he said that Al Islam or even was a Ouled over even Canada that
Islam begins as something strange people were looking at Islam as a way of life. With this I have,
you know, what is this religion that restricts us to worship only one God is there 300 Plus gods and
that black and white are equal. So for them, Islam came as something really strange, and it will go
back to that stage before end of time Islam will be looked at as something strange. So the process
is similar for to burial or give good news to those who are strangers. And when they asked the
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam were the strangers he said, Those who will stick to the truth,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			who will remain firm upon the truth, even if the entire world became corrupted.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:04:20
			Is the karma. It is a command given to the processor and whosoever repented with him, who's who ever
returned back to Allah subhanaw taala with the Prophet Muhammad SAW Salah and you and I, my brothers
and sisters are no difference. We have a lot of bad history that we need Allah subhanaw taala to
erase completely. So it's the karma is that concept that will get you back on track in sha Allah,
Allah Subhan Allah Allah the man came to the Prophet SAW Allah Allah Allah salah, and he told him
via the others will Allah or messenger of Allah, tell me something or teach me something that I will
never ask anyone after you like, I wouldn't need to ask anybody after you once you advise new
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:59
			something. So the prophets Allah Allah is Allah who had been given Joanne al Kalam, very sweet and
small words yet absolutely profound and comprehensive. He said, Hold or be Allah, the master can
say, My Lord is Allah my Rob is Allah subhanaw taala acknowledge your Allah acknowledge your
Creator, then the master can then remain firm upon that, then remain steadfast upon what you just
said. So we say La ilaha illAllah. If I asked you who's your Lord, you say Allah subhanaw taala if I
said Who's your prophet?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:47
			Tuesday the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, however are you willing and ready to
apply and to implement the knowledge given by Allah subhanaw taala and the knowledge given by the
Prophet Muhammad Salah Salem. This is the challenge. The challenge, as I always say is not to simply
pray five times a day. The challenge is to pray on time because Allah said so in the Quran in masala
Turkana, Talmud, Nina keytab, and more Kuta that Salah was prescribed upon the believers, you my
brothers and sisters is now you my dear sisters and brothers and Stan on a specific time, not just
prayers we were prescribed but the challenge is to pray on a specific time is the comma is something
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:41
			that we knew we need to look at. frequently. If Allah subhanho wa Taala in Surah Fatiha the chapter
that we are commanded to read in every salon to our point or to an extent that if we missed it out,
if we forgot to pray, we sort of forget how our entire Salah will become invalid in it 17 times at
least. At least excluding the Sunnah prayers 17 times we ask Allah subhanaw taala did not set off on
study. It did us a lot on stalking guide us to a straight path. Why is it that we have to pray to
Allah constantly to guide us and to make us step steadfast upon the truth upon the straight path of
Allah subhanaw taala Serato stalking because my brothers and sisters is that it is not just about
		
00:06:41 --> 00:07:02
			saying like Allah, it is about remaining upon Allah, Allah Allah Allah until the end of time, the
old malaria and foul men or whatever known in Attila the Albion Salim on the day, nothing will avail
you in the least except those who will come to Allah with a pure and sound heart
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:34
			Subhanallah it will pay him he had beautiful advice about how to maintain it's the common how to
remain consistent. This is the one thing that many people complain about, Oh, brother Ramadan is now
masala BarakAllahu certain developing these habits read the Quran on a daily basis praying Fajr no
alarm is needed now because we have to wait for so hold Allahu Akbar. So we we set our alarms we ate
we eat a whole lot to the masjid operator Alia but after Ramadan is over,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:22
			we lag behind we we go back to square one we start remembering the bad habits and we start doing the
bad habits again. Why we are not able to remain firm upon the straight path. So inevitable. Comey
had five advice he said that number one you should everything that you do. You should do it so with
if lost with absolute sincerity. Now those brothers and sisters who are watching who did not watch
my episode yesterday about loss about sincerity. Please go back to this you know scroll down a bit
whether on live Diem, or on my page while Ibrahim or on YouTube channel the academy and try to watch
the previous episodes because this is part of our lifestyle. If Allah commanded the Prophet SAW
		
00:08:22 --> 00:09:16
			Selim to be firm and steadfast and develop is the armor, then the command is for you and I as well
to remain firm, steadfast and upon is the karma all the time. So it is part of our way of life to
strive and remain up right upon this art of Allah. Allah subhanaw taala the Prophet Muhammad SAW
Salah Mondeo city with the companion, and he drew a straight line in the dirt in the sand. And he
said well, and I heard your RT he was the team, that bill Oh, and this is my straight path. So
following Mr. Clean is the karma, karma, clear will light it all comes from the root of, you know
the same word which indicates continuous continuous steadfastness, all the time, you have to strive
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:50
			to remain firm upon the path of Allah. So Immanuel time said in order for you to remain is the
common number one you have to be sincere, more or less from inside, you're doing everything for the
sake of Allah subhanaw taala number two, everything should be done on the basis of ITIL knowledge
which is found in the Quran and the Sunnah of the processor. Don't just listen to me and take my you
know, my words for granted gone back it up by the Quran and the Sunnah, and of course, the righteous
scholars. Number three, you have to perform all your acts are very bad.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			In the same methodologies that were presented by the Prophet Muhammad Salah Lawson, so do not invent
any acts of worship from your own
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:42
			Don't sell from your own desire and introduce it and say you know what, I will do something better I
will I as a biller, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, if he found any act of worship, other than what
he had already given to us better he would be the first to practice. So, you take your religion from
the right source, and the best of all sources is the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam do so the either that or your acts of worship in the best manner possible
Subhanallah Ravi, there were scholars of the past who will dress up, dress up in the best way
possible to present Islam Subhan Allah Allah Lim and when they were asked like sorry to study the
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:25
			deen to just sit and study we will dress up in the best way possible. Why because they are dealing
with the religion of Allah subhanaw taala so they have to put on the best clothing they have. So
when you when you when you go to the masjid don't just take your pajamas my brothers and sister or
put any thought that has been hanging and collecting dust for days. Try to beautify yourself to the
best of your ability. This will bring you closer and closer to Allah subhanaw taala That's why Allah
says in the Quran, to take your adornments and beautification in the coolie masjid, and the quality
masjid or at the door of every masjid means at every salon, beautify yourself at every salon don't
		
00:11:25 --> 00:12:05
			just why is it when we have an interview for a job or when we are going to our work, we put the best
dresses the best clothes, the best phones the best this the best that but when it comes to Allah
meeting Allah subhanaw taala we just wear whatever we have at home the worst you will not even meet
your visitors when we come and visit you your wife will be there yay. When something nice you know
my sister is coming my mother in law coming will something you know presentable but when it comes to
Allah subhanaw taala we don't even bother Subhan Allah Ali, so when you do your activator that in
the best way possible, then in the light Allah you will achieve is to come and finally, restrict
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:05
			yourself.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:54
			restrict yourself to what is halal. Always ask yourself, Is this action pleasing to Allah? Or is it
haram if it's haram stay away. So when you stay from the Haram and use you restrict yourself to the
halal in sha Allah, Allah Allah will guide your heart upon is the karma. Remember, it is only Allah
who guides us upon the right path in Nicoletta demon that were lacking. Now Allah the May yesha, you
will never guide whom you love but Allah guides whom you will, so it is Allah alone who will keep us
upon the straight path so keep on digging Allah subhanaw taala to guide you. That's why we say then
a Seraph on stalking 17 times minimum every single day because it doesn't mean just guide me it
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			means keep me firm.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:02
			The Bitney you know make me firm upon that straight path. Our all a man said it is not
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:16
			by practicing Islam that will get you to Jannah because by remaining firm and dying upon the
straight path that will get you two gentlemen finally my brothers and sisters Islam the beautiful
Aya about is the karma
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:36
			in the Quran, one of the most beautiful art in the Quran, that maybe will encourage us all to strive
towards this beautiful concept and that is in levena called over of Dona Allah who soon that's the
column that enters zero Allah Iman
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			Iike that and as
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:57
			you go to the hall for less than you should or whatever be sure we'll build in that in the call to
to OD on. Now know Ali.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			Wong Phil hayati, duniya
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:52
			walaikum fie Testa he also come work on fee. Wala fie. Hi Matt that down? No zulum in the LA foodie

pillars that you know of Salas and how does Solomon's on will keep them intact and more strong is
the arm is another pillar and they are not inventing another Hadith or anything Don't Don't mistake
me for saying another pillar. I'm saying that this is one of the core
		
00:14:53 --> 00:15:00
			concepts that will maintain all other pillars strong inshallah Allah is the POM so that's why Allah
said
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:42
			To those who said I'll Allah is our Lord, then remain firm upon that, what will happen to them now
at the most critical time in our lives at the time of death, the angels will descend upon them
telling them a letter half don't be scared, who amongst us, my brothers and sisters, Islam doesn't
feel this. Allah will tell those people who remain firm upon the path of Allah. Don't be scared,
Allah will comfort your heart at the time of death. What else do you want Subhanallah are the other
is the one. Don't be scared. And don't be sad. Why sadness is mentioned because when we depart, we
feel sorry for the people that we leave behind our family members. So Allah will tell you Don't be
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:42
			sad.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:19

that is to remain firm to say Allah is our Lord Ilaha illa Allah but to live up to Allah until you

with the company that will always remind you of Allah subhanaw taala is missing. May Allah Subhana
Allah grant us the right understanding. May Allah subhanaw taala make us among those people who

to make a beautiful dua to assist him to remain firm upon the straight path to remain firm upon his
karma. Yeah, with a little Kulu Oh, the one who strengthen the hearts and give the hearts firmness
