Wanna be moderate? And who doesn't wanna be

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03

moderate? Progressive. This sounds like a very nice

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

word. Yes. And what's wrong with me being

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

progressive? No. Which is we not be progressive

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

as Muslims?

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

Obviously, we know that that's not what they

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11

mean by it.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

If you can touch on what they mean

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

by it and and Islamically how we go

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

about it and how we fit this all

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

into No. I I don't care.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

Why will I sit here explain something that

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

doesn't exist in my deenah?

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

Beautiful. In the deenah and Allahih the moderate

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

Muslim like come on. In the deenah and

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

Allahih Islam. The deen in the side of

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

Allah SubhanaHu Wa Ta'la is Islam. Which means

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

total submission surrendered to the word of Allah

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

SubhanaHu Wa Ta'la. Not to your ideas.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

Allah the deen of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

is not about I think, I guess, I

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

believe, I feel.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

Yeah. And I don't want to say a

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

few things that can be again misunderstood but

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

I want you to really reflect over what

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

I'm saying. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sometimes doesn't

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

care really about what you feel

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

because sometimes waking up for fajr is difficult,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

it's not easy. Is it easy? Do we

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

fly over, you know when we hear the

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

adhan? It's difficult and that is that is

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is trying to

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

observe here. Is that when He impose on

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

you certain tasks,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

even though they are difficult,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

you have to struggle.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

You have to do some effort in order

00:01:12 --> 00:01:12

to

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

experience the sweetness of

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

the outcome.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

couldn't read his own name. True or false?

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

He couldn't read his own name. And the

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

first ayah that was revealed upon him was

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

iqra.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

Didn't Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala know that he

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

couldn't read or write? So why would He

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

tell him Iqra?

00:01:31 --> 00:01:31

So

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

the the command is upon Allah. That's his

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

job And your job is to find out

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

how to apply that command, how to execute

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

that command. Don't question Allah.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

He does not He's not to be questioned

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

about what He does.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

You will be questioned about you. Why you

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

didn't respond to His call? So there is

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

no such thing as moderate and

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

medium and x large Islam. There is only

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

one Islam. I hope you don't
