00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			Abrid
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			Subhanahu, Melana, ilama, Alam,
Talaq inter Ali mu Hakim, I greet
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:33
			everyone with the most beautiful
greeting, the greeting of Islam as
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			well as the greeting of Jannah as
Ketu Alhamdulillah, Allah,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			subhanho wa Taala has afforded us
to have fast 17 days of the month
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			of Ramadan. We are now in the time
of mafira, a time of forgiveness
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:52
			from Allah subhanahu wa. Allah
grant us to be of those who will
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			be forgiven by Allah subhanahu wa.
Also today, we celebrated the day
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			of Badr, the day when history in
Subhanallah, it speaks for itself.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:04
			Allah subhanahu wa has proven that
we do not need quantity, but we
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			had quality. And those quality
amongst the Sahaba, RadiAllahu
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			Taala and hum they were the ones
that stood firm to the Haqq in
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:16
			Allah subhanahu wa showed us that
the Haq has definitely prevailed
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			over the battle alhamdulillahi,
rabbil alamin within the Quraysh
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:25
			were many in number, the meek
amount of men they came out, and
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			women, they came out standing firm
to the truth, as the Arabic
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:34
			proverb mentions, and it says that
Oli Haqq al Mura speak the truth,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			no matter how difficult it is, how
sour it might be on the tongue, or
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			even if it goes against ourselves,
speak the truth. And Allah
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:47
			subhanahu wa speaks about the
believers in such a way where the
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			Allah subhanahu wa says, in this
Subhanallah, we can just imagine
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			how the Sahaba, RadiAllahu taala,
how they live their lives so
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:59
			simple, simplistic lives they had.
And Allah subhanahu wa affirms in
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:04
			the Quran on Minun that indeed
successful will be the believers
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			allahina, humphilun, that they who
are during their prayer, humbly
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:16
			submissive. They humble themselves
in front of Allah. Everything that
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			they do, they humble themselves in
front of Allah, Subhanahu wa
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			taala, not doing anything
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			to show people what they are
currently busy with, or their good
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			actions, or whatever
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			the upper hand giving to them is
better than the lower hand
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:37
			receiving. They do everything only
for the sake of Allah, and they
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			humble themselves as the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, beautifully
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			mentioned to us. Manta, WADA
alumna, RAF Manta, WADA al I Rafa,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:54
			the one who humbles himself in
front of Allah subhanahu wa. What
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			status do we want in this world?
What status do we want in the
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			eyesight of people? What status
can we actually achieve by people,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:07
			but Allah subhanahu wa can take
that status away from us, and that
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			is what we need. We need Allah
subhanahu wa to truly look within
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			the pure hearts of our souls. Look
deep within our hearts. Allah
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			subhanahu wa knows the the
intricacies of our thoughts. Allah
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:24
			subhanahu wa knows what is in our
hearts. And Allah subhanahu wa, he
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			will judge us according to that,
and nobody can see that. And
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:32
			that's the beauty of Islam. Allah
subhanahu wa, He created us in
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:37
			different times in order for us to
to recognize Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:46
			says that in the Quran, in the
lahit Kaku in Allah subhanahu wa,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:51
			person, masha Allah, by what by
his taqwa, who can look into the
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			heart of somebody and say that
that person's got istaku and that
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			person, that person's got more
Taqwa than such a person. Nobody
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			can do that, but Allah knows this,
so we humble ourselves in front of
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:06
			Allah, Subhanahu, WA, and if we do
this in prayer, subhanAllah, how
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			do we stand in prayer?
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			We humble ourselves.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:11
			Our
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:18
			forehead goes onto the grounds the
lowest of the low we're going but
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			our prayers will be heard in the
highest places in the Sabah, above
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			the Sabah, and that is by the
Creator of everything that is
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:31
			Allah subhanahu wa then
Subhanallah, ALLAH SubhanA wa
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			taala, once again, speaks to the
believers. Because when you want
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			to try to humble yourselves,
you'll get many, many, many
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			opposition who will say that what
is wrong if you try to come right,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			and you try to do something,
normally, the comments will come
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			back. He's trying to be pious.
What is he trying to prove? All
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			those type of things happens. But
Allah subhanahu wa, he brings
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			calmness over the heart of a
believer, as Allah aggress the
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			believer. Amanu Allah subhanahu
wa, says, Oh, the people of faith.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			La.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			Do not listen to the whispers of
shaytan Allahu,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			shaytaan, indeed, Allah subhana wa
Taala says, who is he? He is an
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			enemy, open enemy
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:18
			to us. So take him as a enemy. How
come we allow Him to manipulate us
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			in situations? Allah subhanahu
says, Do not listen to the
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:27
			whispers of shaytaan Allah, Allah
subhanahu wa, given us in akan. We
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			should by now know when the things
is right or whether things are
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			wrong if we are on the path of
right, righteousness, on the path
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			of truth. Alhamdulillah, for that,
we humble ourselves and we make
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			shukran
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			to Allah subhanahu wa, Allah, when
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			you show gratitude, Allah,
subhana, wa taala, increase you in
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			that actions. Allah, by humbling
ourselves in front of Allah,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:58
			imagine Allah increase us in that
humility. And Allah loves those
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			who are, who are the
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			people who with with great
humility, and may Allah grant us
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:11
			to be among and Allah goes on by
saying that, and whoever follows
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			the footsteps of shaytaan, indeed,
he enjoys immorality and
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			wrongdoing. If we do that, we will
indulge in wrong doing. We will
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			indulge in wrong actions. And
Allah protect us from this,
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			because shaytan wants nothing that
is good for us. He's looking for
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:29
			companionship in the Alpha How
come we are running towards we
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:34
			have a lord rampart we think for
us to raise our hands to be in
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			such a state. By Allah subhana wa
Taala weba, he is pleased with us.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			May Allah grant us to be among
those inshallah. And then Allah
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			Subhanallah goes on by saying, and
if not for the immorality and
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			wrong doing, and if not for the
favor of Allah subhanahu wa upon
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			you and His mercy, not one of you
would have been pure Allahu Akbar
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			because of Allah subhanho wa
taala's Mercy, we indeed can
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			perform actions that is good. So
even that moment that we do good,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:03
			we should make sugar to Allah, for
indeed, if it wasn't for the Mercy
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			of Allah, we could achieve
absolutely nothing, and Allah,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			Subhanahu wa st trying to purify
our hearts. Why? Because, as we've
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			mentioned, that Jannah is pure,
and it will only accept that which
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			is pure, if we are pure, if our
hearts are pure, that is the
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			person that will enter into
paradise, a person with a pure and
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			sound heart.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			Allah does not look at our
features. Allah subhanahu wa does
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:34
			not look at anything. But Allah
looks at the heart of a person
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:39
			Allah, Allah grant us the ability
to purify our hearts. And Allah
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			purifies whoever he wants. Nobody
can choose if Allah wants to
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:48
			purify, that will happen to such a
person. But if Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:53
			is destined that person to be do,
nobody can do anything to bring
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			that person unto the righteous
part of Allah grant us to be of
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:02
			those whom Allah purify. And Allah
is all hearing in Allah subhanahu
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			wa, Allah subhanahu
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:10
			wa Abu Asmaa, subhana wa Tala
mentions to us that ya wala Lila
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:16
			tendu beautiful. Allah speaks to
the believers and look
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			at the beauty that Allah subhanahu
wa teach us as believers, Allah
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			subhana wa taala, once again,
entrees us, or you who believe, do
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			not enter houses other than your
own houses. Allahu Akbar. Allahu
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:34
			Akbar today, subhanAllah, if Allah
subhanho wa bless us in a certain
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			way, we feel that we are
authoritative over certain people,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			we can just move and we can just
walk into the privacy, and Allah
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:45
			teach us that is not the way of a
believer. Imagine just by knocking
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			on the door. Allah subhana wa
Taala is speaking to the
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			believers. You are amongst the
believers. This is how you knock
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			on a person's door. This is the
way that you seek permission to
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			enter a person's road. Allahu
Akbar, what a pure Deen. We have a
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			deen that teaches everything, even
how to enter into somebody else's
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			place in space. This is amazing.
Allah subhanahu wa says, Do not
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			enter houses other than your own
houses until you assert and
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			welcome and greet their
inhabitants. So how do we
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			Subhanallah enter? We say
assalamu. We have to greet with
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:20
			peace Allahu Akbar, and that is
best for your Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:24
			says that is how we supposed to do
it. As believers, you don't enter
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			into somebody's face without
taking permission from that person
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:32
			and without knocking Allah, but
and at that moment in time, you
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			make Salam, you greet that person,
perhaps you will be reminded
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			Allah, but this is great reminder
for us as believers. Sometimes we
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:43
			are this particular point, Ya
Allah subhanaw taala said
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			reminder, reminding us that you
are believers. Do this in this
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			manner because this is good for
you. This will be great for you.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:54
			And Allah grant us to be amongst
those people inshallah who achieve
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			greatness. And Allah, Subhanahu wa
best Amin, ya rabal Ali wa jazaka.
