Waseem Hendricks – Gems From The Quran. Juz 18

Abrid

Subhanahu, Melana, ilama, Alam, Talaq inter Ali mu Hakim, I greet

everyone with the most beautiful greeting, the greeting of Islam as

well as the greeting of Jannah as Ketu Alhamdulillah, Allah,

subhanho wa Taala has afforded us to have fast 17 days of the month

of Ramadan. We are now in the time of mafira, a time of forgiveness

from Allah subhanahu wa. Allah grant us to be of those who will

be forgiven by Allah subhanahu wa. Also today, we celebrated the day

of Badr, the day when history in Subhanallah, it speaks for itself.

Allah subhanahu wa has proven that we do not need quantity, but we

had quality. And those quality amongst the Sahaba, RadiAllahu

Taala and hum they were the ones that stood firm to the Haqq in

Allah subhanahu wa showed us that the Haq has definitely prevailed

over the battle alhamdulillahi, rabbil alamin within the Quraysh

were many in number, the meek amount of men they came out, and

women, they came out standing firm to the truth, as the Arabic

proverb mentions, and it says that Oli Haqq al Mura speak the truth,

no matter how difficult it is, how sour it might be on the tongue, or

even if it goes against ourselves, speak the truth. And Allah

subhanahu wa speaks about the believers in such a way where the

Allah subhanahu wa says, in this Subhanallah, we can just imagine

how the Sahaba, RadiAllahu taala, how they live their lives so

simple, simplistic lives they had. And Allah subhanahu wa affirms in

the Quran on Minun that indeed successful will be the believers

allahina, humphilun, that they who are during their prayer, humbly

submissive. They humble themselves in front of Allah. Everything that

they do, they humble themselves in front of Allah, Subhanahu wa

taala, not doing anything

to show people what they are currently busy with, or their good

actions, or whatever

the upper hand giving to them is better than the lower hand

receiving. They do everything only for the sake of Allah, and they

humble themselves as the Prophet sallallahu sallam, beautifully

mentioned to us. Manta, WADA alumna, RAF Manta, WADA al I Rafa,

the one who humbles himself in front of Allah subhanahu wa. What

status do we want in this world? What status do we want in the

eyesight of people? What status can we actually achieve by people,

but Allah subhanahu wa can take that status away from us, and that

is what we need. We need Allah subhanahu wa to truly look within

the pure hearts of our souls. Look deep within our hearts. Allah

subhanahu wa knows the the intricacies of our thoughts. Allah

subhanahu wa knows what is in our hearts. And Allah subhanahu wa, he

will judge us according to that, and nobody can see that. And

that's the beauty of Islam. Allah subhanahu wa, He created us in

different times in order for us to to recognize Allah subhanahu wa

says that in the Quran, in the lahit Kaku in Allah subhanahu wa,

person, masha Allah, by what by his taqwa, who can look into the

heart of somebody and say that that person's got istaku and that

person, that person's got more Taqwa than such a person. Nobody

can do that, but Allah knows this, so we humble ourselves in front of

Allah, Subhanahu, WA, and if we do this in prayer, subhanAllah, how

do we stand in prayer?

We humble ourselves.

Our

forehead goes onto the grounds the lowest of the low we're going but

our prayers will be heard in the highest places in the Sabah, above

the Sabah, and that is by the Creator of everything that is

Allah subhanahu wa then Subhanallah, ALLAH SubhanA wa

taala, once again, speaks to the believers. Because when you want

to try to humble yourselves, you'll get many, many, many

opposition who will say that what is wrong if you try to come right,

and you try to do something, normally, the comments will come

back. He's trying to be pious. What is he trying to prove? All

those type of things happens. But Allah subhanahu wa, he brings

calmness over the heart of a believer, as Allah aggress the

believer. Amanu Allah subhanahu wa, says, Oh, the people of faith.

La.

Do not listen to the whispers of shaytan Allahu,

shaytaan, indeed, Allah subhana wa Taala says, who is he? He is an

enemy, open enemy

to us. So take him as a enemy. How come we allow Him to manipulate us

in situations? Allah subhanahu says, Do not listen to the

whispers of shaytaan Allah, Allah subhanahu wa, given us in akan. We

should by now know when the things is right or whether things are

wrong if we are on the path of right, righteousness, on the path

of truth. Alhamdulillah, for that, we humble ourselves and we make

shukran

to Allah subhanahu wa, Allah, when

you show gratitude, Allah, subhana, wa taala, increase you in

that actions. Allah, by humbling ourselves in front of Allah,

imagine Allah increase us in that humility. And Allah loves those

who are, who are the

people who with with great humility, and may Allah grant us

to be among and Allah goes on by saying that, and whoever follows

the footsteps of shaytaan, indeed, he enjoys immorality and

wrongdoing. If we do that, we will indulge in wrong doing. We will

indulge in wrong actions. And Allah protect us from this,

because shaytan wants nothing that is good for us. He's looking for

companionship in the Alpha How come we are running towards we

have a lord rampart we think for us to raise our hands to be in

such a state. By Allah subhana wa Taala weba, he is pleased with us.

May Allah grant us to be among those inshallah. And then Allah

Subhanallah goes on by saying, and if not for the immorality and

wrong doing, and if not for the favor of Allah subhanahu wa upon

you and His mercy, not one of you would have been pure Allahu Akbar

because of Allah subhanho wa taala's Mercy, we indeed can

perform actions that is good. So even that moment that we do good,

we should make sugar to Allah, for indeed, if it wasn't for the Mercy

of Allah, we could achieve absolutely nothing, and Allah,

Subhanahu wa st trying to purify our hearts. Why? Because, as we've

mentioned, that Jannah is pure, and it will only accept that which

is pure, if we are pure, if our hearts are pure, that is the

person that will enter into paradise, a person with a pure and

sound heart.

Allah does not look at our features. Allah subhanahu wa does

not look at anything. But Allah looks at the heart of a person

Allah, Allah grant us the ability to purify our hearts. And Allah

purifies whoever he wants. Nobody can choose if Allah wants to

purify, that will happen to such a person. But if Allah subhanahu wa

is destined that person to be do, nobody can do anything to bring

that person unto the righteous part of Allah grant us to be of

those whom Allah purify. And Allah is all hearing in Allah subhanahu

wa, Allah subhanahu

wa Abu Asmaa, subhana wa Tala mentions to us that ya wala Lila

tendu beautiful. Allah speaks to the believers and look

at the beauty that Allah subhanahu wa teach us as believers, Allah

subhana wa taala, once again, entrees us, or you who believe, do

not enter houses other than your own houses. Allahu Akbar. Allahu

Akbar today, subhanAllah, if Allah subhanho wa bless us in a certain

way, we feel that we are authoritative over certain people,

we can just move and we can just walk into the privacy, and Allah

teach us that is not the way of a believer. Imagine just by knocking

on the door. Allah subhana wa Taala is speaking to the

believers. You are amongst the believers. This is how you knock

on a person's door. This is the way that you seek permission to

enter a person's road. Allahu Akbar, what a pure Deen. We have a

deen that teaches everything, even how to enter into somebody else's

place in space. This is amazing. Allah subhanahu wa says, Do not

enter houses other than your own houses until you assert and

welcome and greet their inhabitants. So how do we

Subhanallah enter? We say assalamu. We have to greet with

peace Allahu Akbar, and that is best for your Allah subhanahu wa

says that is how we supposed to do it. As believers, you don't enter

into somebody's face without taking permission from that person

and without knocking Allah, but and at that moment in time, you

make Salam, you greet that person, perhaps you will be reminded

Allah, but this is great reminder for us as believers. Sometimes we

are this particular point, Ya Allah subhanaw taala said

reminder, reminding us that you are believers. Do this in this

manner because this is good for you. This will be great for you.

And Allah grant us to be amongst those people inshallah who achieve

greatness. And Allah, Subhanahu wa best Amin, ya rabal Ali wa jazaka.
