This will
help me along with somebody, Eric Ellis, Mohammed,
drain all that. So hamdulillah we're into the fourth night of
Ramadan, which means we will go over some of the verses of the
fourth Jews of the 30 twos and the 30 parts of the Quran. And I pray
Sharla, that all of you are having a
have had a very auspicious beginning to this blessed month of
Ramadan. And that Allah raises you in degrees and makes this an
opportunity for the explicate expiation of our mistakes. And as
a means to draw closer to Allah subhanaw taala.
So, as we stated before, we're just going to choose some of the
verses
within that are contained within the jewels. So those who are
following along so this is the third
Surah of the Quran, which is Le Emraan. And we're going to look at
the verse beginning with verse 156, Psalm 156.
And holy Darla,
I will name Shakeology endorsement.
Yeah, you were living at home and we're going to go look under the
NACA we will call you for any of the hurricane because I know can
rise to one form apple to the edge as long as Erica has sort of evil
will be him, while law who you're who you are you meet Allah will be
met and then Luna mercy.
So that in translation reads all you believe do not be like those
who disbelieved. Instead of the brothers who went out on a
journey, or a raid, if only they had stayed with us, they would not
have died or been killed, for God will make such a source of anguish
in their hearts. It is God who gives life and death. Gods sees
everything you do.
So we didn't read the verses that came before this. And, um, Ron
is a Surah. That is
one that if you read it just by itself, it kind of gives you all
of the things that might be contained within the Quran. So it
has some of the stories of previous prophets, like Ace of
pneumonia, Jesus, the son of Mary and the story of Mary. It has also
the song story of Ibrahim and Zakaria and it also gives some of
the context that happened to even during the time of the Prophet
homicides. And so that includes both the Battle of better and the
Battle of art, as with bad angles, and when we refer to those with
better sales or better Cobra, so the main battle of whether there
was some small skirmishes before that, but the first sort of
confrontation, on a scale of meaning in a battlefield that
happened between the products, I sell him his followers. And the
Quraysh of Makkah, happened at that. And that begins with the
verses in area run, where the father was not not some walk
along, the veteran went into Zillow. And Allah gave you Nasir
give you a give you victory. We're into Mozilla, and you were humbled
or you were humble. And then some of the verses later on talk about
visual art and the lessons that are to be learned. So this verse
that we've chosen comes kind of, after all of that, and kind of
gives some instruction to the believers, who
many of them
was, in fact that was was the case many of them were still in much
contact with their brethren, their their family, who were in Mecca
who were disbelievers. And oftentimes there would be things
that would be said,
and sometimes it came even from people inside in Medina. So inside
in Medina, of the Prophet SAW Selim, we know that there was a
new group that emerged that was not there before in Mecca,
referred to as the Manasa. Cone, or the hypocrites. So these were
the people who outwardly
practice Islam, as it were, and then without really the professed
Islam, but inwardly they did not have anything.
The claim that they made outwardly, there was nothing of
inwardly and oftentimes they fought against the Prophet and
sought to undermine him and undermine the Companions, even if
they did it as subtly and surreptitiously as they did. Of
course, the prophesy centum was aware of them and he knew who they
were, but nonetheless, he never took them to task about him.
because they professed Islam outwardly and as long as someone
presses outwardly, then they have the Hallmark or the,
the sacral sanctity of, of Islam, even though many had suspicions
and
the prioritize and did disclose the name of them, the names of
these will fit into one of those a Hollister Khalifa, to the degree
that I'm going to grow up after the province I send them passed
away. He went and knocked on the front door and he said, I know you
have the profit source and confided in you who they are. He
and ask him telling me who they are. He said, Am I one of them?
No, I mean, who am I one of these when I 15? Am I one of these
hypocrites that
the Prophet SAW, I can find it with you. So there was a lot of
other, right.
And even the Quran tells us this morning as an cathedra, you'll
hear a lot of other a lot of hurtful things
that will
foreshadow know which page because I am not. I'm reading from a
deficit that doesn't have the pages that correspond. So you're
looking for verse 156, from the third Surah from chapter three.
So this verse kind of is one of those verses that talks about
that. So when it says yeah, you're Latina. Mm, so this is addressing
the people who believe Yeah, you were living in urban leather cool.
Do not be like, letter Kulu Lerner here letter Coachella dena. CAFO
like the ones who have disbelieved will call you and they said the
when he him, right, so there is either a blood relationship or
they considered their brother and wakatobi Horni is adorable fill
out here at Darby fill. Aldi literally means to strike the
Earth. But that's a metaphor. So it means to strike the Earth. In
other words, get on your mouth, get on your camel, get on your
horse, and go seek your provision. Leave your house, go for trade, go
on a journey, so forth. Oh, Ken Watson, oh, what's the minimum
cost? Right or if they join a camp, a campaigner of one of the
prophets campaigns, to defend their land to defend their
territory to defend their faith.
So what did they say? Low can win the nightmare Matt, wonderful to
you if they had stayed back with us. Right. And this we see a
similar verse that happens later. So to tell by that time Pharaoh
would have gone in cold Russia to Halawa. Some of them also said
them unethically and hypocrites don't go out in the heat, don't
follow the Prophet and he gets too hot is asking too much. So, these
are kind of the whisperings that frailty that means. So we have
devils who are showing Athena Jin who are the demonic forces, that
are the unseen part of the unseen realm. And then we have Shelton
and then we also have those who are influenced by such demonic
forces, but are there other forms of human beings and they kind of
parrot what their their own chiffon with a clean says to them.
So they tell them if you didn't go out, you will have been felt safe
with us locate or in that amendment will not go to you. They
will not have died and they have not been killed. The Edge Allah
Wahoo Danica Hassan fuchal will be him. Right but Allah smart Allah
will make this a Hustla sadness or how did he say?
Such thoughts? God will make such thoughts a source of anguish in
their hearts.
Well, wha hoo, you're here you meet but it's Allah subhanaw taala
who will walk you home and will beat oh yo, yo yo meet, yet? Well,
I will matter. He is the one who gives life and heroes Ana takes it
away. So there's no such thing as your circumstances made you die,
or your circumstances made you live. This is something that is
determined by Allah subhanaw taala Well, Allah who be my dharma,
Luna, bossy, and Allah is well acquainted with all that you do.
Right? He sees all that you do, nothing will get past Allah
subhanaw taala.
So
this is teaching the Sahaba and teaching the companions and
teaching all of us afterwards that the source of comfort the source
of what's called Colette Nina, the source of ease and solace and rest
and tranquility and serenity is not going to come from your
estimation or evaluation of your outside circumstances. That comes
directly from Allah subhanaw taala. So
have strong your team, right we work to get to a level of Equilon
we read earlier in the book of CW ecology, Lenny fats Hello Bernie.
That without
Without Islam you can't have a man. Without the man you can't
have a client which is strong conviction strong certainty. So
there is what we call them as an IE man or woman as in any clock
there are levels or degrees of immense faith, and there are lows
and degrees of certainty. And we will encounter the lesson we take
from this each one of us in our own lives, we will encounter those
who will try to shake our faith who will try to sway us either
willingly wittingly or unwittingly. Maybe they do so on
purpose or maybe they don't do so on purpose. But generally we will
we will come across this well we will capture this in our lives and
so the lesson is a La Jolla Are you will you meet alone while
you're here will you meet last volatile is the one who gives life
and He is the one who takes it away, no one else. And so, we
should have FPN a thought uncertainty in this and then the
verses after this will further solidify. So the verse after 157
which is a continuation of the in terms of the concept or the idea
of the verse before 156 where the interquartile to visa vie the
light or moto Lama will FIRA to meet Allah he will say Rome man,
big man who won a moto coach into the Ilahi to ashover. So the two
Vs after that 157 or fee.
So 157 Whether you are killed for God's cause or die, natural
causes, whatever causes die not in that way. God's forgiveness and
mercy are better than anything people a mess. And then the verse
after that was the whether you die or killed, it is to God that you
will be gathered.
So
travel,
a participant in the battle getting in your car, whatever it
might be, that is not what brings upon death or brings upon your
edge it brings upon your time to go. That is something that said
earlier that Allah subhanaw taala determines so whether you do if
you Sevilla, right whether you are
condemned to disability or you are killed in the way of a loss or a
motto, or you just die LaMalfa to mean Allah, He wanna Mattoon say
Roman marriage, marriage, so Allah's forgiveness, and His mercy
is better than anything that they amass. Because the naysayers when
they told the Sahaba the Companions Why do you follow this
man and you're gonna go out in the desert and you're in the heat? Why
do you do what you do and you know, you may get killed, it's
better for you to stay here with us at least we'll be safe. This is
someone who doesn't see the fo. This is someone whose whole
purview is the dunya is the life that we live now. And so
if we stay in the dunya, then we can amass more of it. That's why
Allah says hey, it will mean marriage Marilyn. So yeah, Jamar,
ah mom and Hatami dunya, that what she picks up from the frivolous
and the trivial things of the dunya whether it's houses or cars,
or any sort of thing that is valued as wealth, all those things
come from nothing in terms of the SEO, and so they shouldn't be a
criteria by which we determine when to do the right thing and
when not to do the right thing. So the the evaluation of the criteria
of dunya it's not a
proper adjudicator of when to step forward or when to step back when
to stay silent. Rather look to this, these teachings of the
Prophet Muhammad salah, which is based upon Islam or will is Islam.
So based upon Islam and surrendering to the Sharia and
turning to the teachings of the Prophet RSR Salam, and ultimately
select surrendering to the will of Allah, Allah Allah and then that
adopt a few minutes and an amen. And then you will go through the
different grades in terms of your Immanuel we manage our load
increase by your increase in obedience to Allah span without
and following the teachings as best as you can. And then you may
reach a level of econ, you may lose your level of certainty,
where these things will almost be second nature, they will be by by
ease, right almost not without any any burden upon you that you will
consider and make the right decisions. So, here this to some
degree gives us a some some guidelines of how to make
decisions and what should be
included in making decision and what should not be a
consideration. So losing something of the dunya may happen, and that
may be and you may die, it's possible that you may die two very
simple sort of decision to make but it's not a decision that is
going to bring your your death and it's not the one that's going to
involve locate your life or increase your life lifespan. Only
a small town he knows that.
So one of the be shut off.
As we mentioned that energy I mentioned here that we're going
from body to body and muddied the immense ocean or the vast ocean,
the name of his tafsir is that our
two fools, right? Some of the automat, they talk about the Black
Death.
And the black death is not the death of the VNFs. Right, the last
breath that you take, but the death of the neffs of the ego, of
the appetite and anger, you know, the kind of the two handmaidens of
the ego of the neffs, the two things that propel it, our
appetite, or shower, and anger in Arabic of other. And so to
overcome those two
motivators, and those two things that generally will lead us
astray. Most of the time, it's a type of death. And so applying the
meaning to this verse will in continue to increase Aveda. So, if
your neffs is the sacrifice in other words, that which you take
pleasure in, and you've sacrificed something of that visa vie the
law, then what will you gain in return? Well, FIRA min Allahu wa
theobromine major mountain, so the forgiveness and the mercy that you
will gain from a small town is better than that which you can
gather of pleasurable things and we call it football and doing it,
you know, these are things that don't have any value they will be
firewood, at the end at best, no matter what, what you owe, or
whether it's a house or a boat, or a yacht or a car. You know, all
those things we know they don't last forever and eventually they
maybe they wind up as firewood and wind up in the junkyard or wind up
as something to be recycled. So why, why put so much stake Why
have so much emphasis and spend so much of your life's energy and
your emotional energy and your spiritual energy and your physical
energy to gather things that
do not have any resilience that are impermanent, rather, we should
focus on that which is permanent, and overcoming our egos overcoming
our appetites and our anger is one of the keys to finding that path
and finding that moment.
So the next verse
159 Last month, it says
February 30 min Allah He limited a home. Willow Quinta falls and
valleys, I've told me them fell do Mahalik five one who must still
feed the homeless share with me for is as mtef at work that Allah
in Allah, your head wound with our kidney,
out of mercy from God you and speaking to the prophets, I send
them were gentle in your dealings with them. Had you been harsh or
hard hearted, they would have dispersed and left you. So pardon
them and ask forgiveness for them. Consult with them about matters.
Then when you have decided on a course of action, put your trust
in Allah, or God, God loves those who put their trust in Him.
So even though this verse
has what we call seven new Zune, there's a particular incident that
happened in the wake of
the disaster that almost almost was, it could have been a complete
disaster, the Battle of art. And for those who aren't familiar,
this was the battle that the corporation were seeking
retribution after their stunning defeat, at better. And so
just to make kind of a summarization of it. The Muslims
have the upper hand, but the Prophet SAW Selim left one very
important instruction. And he instructed the archers,
who are about 50 of them or so to remain on one of the hills. And he
said, Do not for any reason, leave your position, right? Because
you're going to be protecting our flank, you gotta be rejecting any
attacks that come from behind us, or from or from the side, and
we're going to be facing the enemy from the front. So he said, under
no circumstances are you to leave your positions. And so as the
battle ensued,
the Muslims including the province, I said, I'm very quickly
got the upper hand and the Quraysh were almost in full retreat.
To the degree that those who have fallen in battle, the archers were
seeing them on the battlefield, and then they became a little bit
nervous, nervous about what well, this is in the days before
professional armies, and that means whoever is responsible for
filling someone else in battle your enemy, then you get what's
called a settlement.
I wouldn't say NEMA, which is the spoils of war. So there's pre
Modern Warfare, there's still this idea of spoils of war. And so
whatever they were wearing their shield their sword, you know,
their armor, then you would have rights to it. And so the archers
see this ensuing. And they are getting worried that wait a
minute, what about our, our, our allotment, everyone else is going
to get something and we won't get it. And you know, we need to,
to go down there and get our stuff before it's too late. Even though
the province is instituted the idea based upon the verses and
beforehand, sort of unfed that no one is going to get a personal
booty, it's all going to be collected and then the province
center would distribute it as he sees fit. And generally the
distribution would be one share for a foot soldier. And then a
horseman would get an additional two chair to shares. Right,
because to maintain a horse and its upkeep and so forth was quite
expensive. And people brought their own horses, right. This is
not professional army. So everyone is bringing their own weaponry and
their own horses and that sort of thing. But the archers didn't
listen, there was during The Foos got the better of them, and they
went down there. And then that's what led to the change in battle.
Sensitive in one eat one of the great Sahaba and the great
military chieftain who was not Muslim at the time, but was for on
the other side with the Quran came around and flanked the Muslims
with his horsemen, his knights and they were able to chop down the
archers and then get and then turn the face of the battle. And now
the Muslims found themselves surrounded from all sides by the
by the enemy Quraysh did agree that there was even a rumor that
the prophesy sell them had fallen in battle, and what had actually
happened and they had set up a pit and covered it with some with deep
POM bark, and then he fell in this trap. And then he was he was down
in the pit and then they didn't see him and so they thought he had
passed away somewhere. And that was a big blow but that wasn't the
case. So in the aftermath of the battle
here's the Quran telling the province I know they'll be mad at
me Allah He limped along. So it's by mercy from you from the from
Allah subhanaw taala. You were gentle with him
because of our size and could have been harsh with the archers or
with the Muslims in general. But that wasn't the way of Muhammad
SAW said and then even says Willow Quinta falls unbeliever can then
follow Mahalik.
And even if you if you were harsh or hard hearted, they would have
dispersed and left you.
Far for anyone, right five one, so forgive them, pardon them was
dealt with level and seek forgiveness for them were shared
with them. And not only that, not only are you going to pardon them
and seek forgiveness on their behalf, you should also seek their
counsel, the same people who seemingly betrayed you in battle,
because they were worried about some sort of personal gain these
other people that you also have to have Michelada share with them
seek their counsel fill in matters, right for them this
general any general matters, or in matters that
you should be seeking their counsel in so certainly matters of
ye matters of Revelation, the prophesy son was not going to seek
counsel about should I reveal this now or nature or anything like
that, once the revelation comes upon us, I seldom is bound by the
trust that has been put in him by last Montana to reveal it. But for
things of like stratagems of war.
You know, one of the prophets I send them during the Battle of
better and he decided to set his army some ways before where the
wells actually were one of the Sahaba said Yasuda Allah, is this
place that you've chosen? Is it something that has been revealed
to you via revelation? Or it is your your loved one? Makita? Is it
your opinion and your your military planning and strategy? He
said no, the latter, it's my opinion. He said then if I may, I
think it's better if we move up further. And then that way we deny
the Qureshi access to the wells to the water and that's what gave us
an advantage which is completely permissible, if not even
recommended and obligatory in the state of war. And so he agreed
with that, and that's what they did. But that wasn't an aspect of
Revelation. So things that are not directly
related to Revelation prophets are seldom was told by Allah subhanaw
taala as part of Revelation, share wouldn't
seek their counsel for either Assumpta first our can Allah
Allah, but you know, sometimes at work at Allah, but then if you
have the result, then talk about Allah in Allah, your head wound
without pity. So, yes, we said this is specifically to that
incident in the aftermath of awkward but
The general principle in understanding and interpreting the
Quran what we call the science of Tafseer is an Abra. We are moving
love with ASA before so Sabbath is what they say that the thing to be
considered is not just the circumstances Revelation, the
particular one that happened during the time of the brothel
twice Allah, but also a woman loves, which means the general
wording. So if we can interpret the general wording, and there's
no contravention to anything of the well established principles of
the Sharia, then it's a valid interpretation. So they said, this
applies all the time, not just to Mohamed Salah center, but also to
the heirs of Muhammad Cyrus. And so in dealing with people in Tao,
in particular, in people that one considers as their charges or
their students or their
desires, disciples wherever it might be.
There should not be this father and the lava right further than
the leaves and even the words, you know, the law and the law in both
words, it's a strong letter and so gives you
an indication that it's, it's it's harsh, Fathoms on either club,
right hardhearted, then thought domain Holic, right, they would
have dispersed from you who would have run away from you. So even
when the promised person was in position, where he may have had to
resort some discipline.
The mode by which he did it was via Apple, via partnering with
them, was still free, let Him and seek forgiveness on their behalf.
Wish I would open up. So the Sahaba in the beginning of the
province missions are certain were not the same of the Sahaba at the
end of the prophets mission. So this was kind of in the middle of
the prophets mission they had been in Medina about two years. And so
the community was still forming. And people were still getting used
to the idea of living in a completely different way were
tribal affiliations, while they were still there. They were no
longer the
the main arbiter of society that didn't determine your place in
society, what tribe you belong to. Now, there was a different
criteria. And there's a different way of doing things, there's a
different hierarchy, and so forth. And people still, you know, held
on to the old ways, and some of old ways was waiting, if I, if I
was responsible for taking someone out in battle, then I should have
his, his stuff, I should have his armor and his boots and whatever.
And so that that was still there, they're still developing, they're
still maturing, so they're maturing spiritually. And this is
an important lesson for anyone that we're dealing with. And
they're on a path and they're trying to mature spiritually. So
this includes your children, includes those who you may
consider to be your students, or your protegees, even your
colleagues is, you know, everybody's on a journey.
Everybody's a work in progress, as it were, and everybody's kind of
making their way in the world. And so, you know, treat them with
kindness, treat them with empathy, treat them with
gentleness, and you'll have much better results. An interesting
thing here is this show and seek their counsel,
which is kind of almost counterintuitive, because you
think well, after they made such a big mistake, why would the
province or send them be instructed to almost reward them,
in a sense by seeking their counsel.
But it gives you an idea of the type of leadership that the
province or Salem was beginning to develop, which was more of a
participatory, certainly he was a servant leader as the term goes
today. But I think there was also a big element of participatory
leadership. So have people invested in the decisions that are
being made, and then they will support them. And this idea of
mush matura or Shura while moving sure Avena home is a very, very
important concept in the deen in terms of our Inter relationships.
Some of the Hadith that have been mentioned and disregard here in
the depths here
calls or send a measure to abdomen matura or SAR the this to Iraqi.
So no one ever really went wrong or one astray by seeking solid
counsel. And no one ever was very happy by having a snap right,
which is to just depend upon their own idea their own opinion,
without seeking other opinions. Marhaba Minister Shara or the
inner diva Minister shop so the one who seeks counsel will not be
disappointed and will not find remorse.
And so should I mean seeking counsel. Of course if you have
been entrusted with making a decision, the decision is still
yours. But you want to make an informed decision. That's why the
the part of it that comes after for either as MTA
Right. So if you have now have resolved in the decision that
you're going to make or the course of action, Fatima, Kerala. So
you've arrived at the decision by matura by taking the
pertinent
opinions right and not ever to be honest, not everybody's opinion is
the same as another. Here we're talking more about people who are
qualified to give an opinion about a certain thing, what we would
call an expert opinion, take that in consideration, but then the
leader has to determine, while looking at you know, all
comprehensive broad look at all of the factors considered what then
is the best course of action? For either Assumpta then you have Zima
then you have resolved fifth and what cannot Allah, then leave it
to Allah subhanaw taala have to work right? In Allah, your head
will water clean. Allah subhanaw taala loves those who are buta
what kill those who put complete agency or
put their complete trust in Allah subhanaw taala.
So
the verse after that
before we move to that, let's talk a little bit about this idea of
the word God.
Other verses talk about good like all the other woman yet working on
a life or hospital, when we're puts complete reliance in Allah,
Allah hospital, it suffices one, why the life at work, go to
enquanto mumineen.
And only in Allah should you put your reliance if you are truly
believers. So it's also considered to be when Muhammad and Amen, it's
considered to be from amongst the the degrees of Amen, the level or
the willingness to put your reliance and complete confidence
in Allah subhanaw taala. And if Nigeria he has a kind of a nice
thing here that he says that he says the level that people in
terms of their Tawakkol how much they rely on Allah is like, three
different levels that we may compare in the dunya. And they're
all good, but some are higher than the others. So the first one, he
says,
and you tell me that I'm doing a pika automated in Sanjana.
Joaquina, he, Mooney, Endo.
He said, The first one is like, if you have like a business partner,
or someone that you've put your trust in to carry out some of your
affairs, you entrust with them, that they will do so. And that's
the first level or the lowest level of the workload, the second.
And you couldn't do Malbec at the flea market me lay out if we see
well, how are they eligible
in law.
So the second level is like the the infant, or the young child,
with the mother,
young child or even a toddler infant, they don't want anybody
else really in terms of who they're going to ask for things
and who they're going to depend upon and who's going to take care
of them. They don't see anyone else. So that's a higher level of
work. Like if we will only see a loss funnel to Allah and we don't
see anyone else, then that's even better. And then the third he says
any point and I do malby can meet Vainio, daily Vasil will maintain
everything with us. What can s lemma in enough several will
kuliah. And then the highest level is like if you're the dead body at
the disposal of a loss and the one who's going to wash the body and
shroud the body.
So why is that one higher than the one before it with the mother and
the child? Well, the child still has what we say some,
some allotment of choice, they can still say I don't want this and I
want that and I'll depend upon you and this thing, but on that thing.
But in terms of the dead body and with Vasu which one was watching
the body there is no choice, you are completely at the mercy and at
the disposal of the one was watching the body. And this
sometimes they described and he says it later here
as the fleet so tough weed is higher than if we were the verse
that says what will fellow I'm gonna eat Allah in a lot of stuff
like that. And I make tough weed. In other words, I leave the choice
up to the last one without how things are going to turn out or
leave it up to the last one Tada. And that is also min min acid and
Amen. Right? It's from the mathematic the men from the
Stations of the men. It's a level of faith, to have tough week to
say I you know, I supplicate I do the things Allah commands me to do
but in terms of outcomes, my heart has no attachment except to that
which allows for that is going to deter for me to happen. The use of
wheat and metalwork when you have to work will know your heart still
has an attachment to the outcome. But you are
hoping and praying and optimistic that Allah subhanaw taala will
grant the outcome that you are seeking. Whereas a move forward
doesn't even it's not invested in a particular outcome, they may
have done the steps to bring about a particular outcome but they're
not invested in that particular outcome and they leave it to Allah
subhanaw taala.
So
we'll just finish off with the last verse, verse 160. All of the
other in the answer come along for the Holy Bala code when you don't
conformance and let the answer come in body while alive for the
hotel worker in McMinnville. And
if God helps you, no one can overcome you. If he forsakes you
Who else can help you believers should put their trust in God.
So this is also kind of a comparison that you could see
between better and offered
investment better, where they were vastly outmatched and vastly
outnumbered and they were not even looking for the battle to begin
with. They were looking for the other caravan of Oceania and then
the battle can have happened accidentally.
But there was nothing from Allah there was aid from almost half.
Indian circle Mala can Manasa Rocco Yomi better because the
verse before, while the veteran were Entomb as Hilda and Allah
gave you Nasir he gave you a to give you victory. And you were
humble at the time. In other words, your oath of humble means
of humbled or that you didn't have the means really
to overcome the battle where you are outnumbered three to one.
And they had cavalry and you did not
win you don't come?
Right. But if you were to forsake you and your snorkel
for Monza, Lydian Surah Coleman Paddy, but if he used to forsake
you, then who is the one who's going to help you afterwards so
you can make an argument that during awkward, maybe there are
more evenly matched and they had the upper hand and they were
prepared for the battle. And they were expecting it. So maybe they
were ostensibly in a better position. But because they
the they defied the command of the province Arsalan, which is
actually a command of God, then there was a lesson to be learned
in that. And here, we see in the summation of the verses, here's
the lesson. If Allah is going to give you an answer, no one can
overcome you. So seek the means for the aid from Allah Spano God
and avoid the means avoid the factors that will lead to Wilson's
lead, right? We're in yesterday's income for mentality and sort of
human body. How do you go about doing that? I had a life after
work, hello, income to help me only put your complete trust in
terms of your heart with Allah subhanaw taala. And just
just to make things clear, these verses are talking about rulings,
and maklumat and Eman that apply to the heart, not to the body. So
the province or Sanlam, was taking all of his precautions. When he
went into battle. He wore two layers of armor.
So we had one underneath and one on top. If we were to say, Oh,
well, you know, he's relying on God, why he has to wear two layers
of armor. No, but that is relying on the last panel, to do all of
the things that you're commanded to do, and have respect for the
the laws of cause and effect that only Allah Samantha has put into
place, who made who made these laws, who made something, if it's
a cause, and has a certain effect, that if you are hungry, and then
you eat, you're satiated, Allah made that. And if you're thirsty,
and you drink something, and then you're associated, or your thirst
is quenched, a lust for autonomy that and so also, that means we do
that in all aspects of our life. And this does not contravene the
idea or contradict the idea of tilicho of heavy reliance or lost
contact, that is reliance on a lost battle God. So
seeking means and living by those means, but being detached from the
idea that these means on their own will affect a particular outcome.
This is what the meaning of the workweek means and leave it up to
Allah subhanaw taala the outcome. And then the higher form of the
worker that we set off we'd unite not even interested in a
particular outcome, whatever outcome Allah desires, but you're
just taking the steps and you're taking the means because for the
move forward for the one who sees the fleet, and that's the McCobb
of their heart. The means are the outcomes. The means are the ends.
So I wear two layers of armor, and that's my outcome. Now what
happens in battle after that? That's up to a lost battle that he
will determine
whether he grants us Nosara victory or
or maybe there's some other, maybe there's some lesson that we need
to learn and maybe we will lose. But either way, I leave the
outcome up to a wasp router along with their other Ireland or
Ireland we have today Robin, I mean, it's like well not here
we'll stop here for the session that foragers and tomorrow is the
lab are still around. We will move on to the fifth resume and last
one out of this all of you and give you successful rest of
Ramadan. Rome last five days into it starting tomorrow, so it's
going by fast. So may last time that avail us of all that we can
be availed of, in this blessed month at
the Santa Monica
