Guidebook to God #07 – Hope in the mercy of Allah

I

hope is a powerful thing to hope for the mercy of Allah Subhana. Allah to Allah isn't just something you wish for. It's something you earn. And therefore there's a difference between mn and Raja. What we're speaking about today is Raja, it's hope that it's demonstratable through action. It's not ml where it's a hope, where I'm just waiting for something to happen. Or Raja is an act of a bad an act of worship. And it is a part of the definition of taqwa of God consciousness and of hoping for a loss of Hannah to Allah is greater reward on account of the strictness that I adhere to His laws and his rules and his regulations. On the account of the strictness and the severity, I hold on to the

path and the footsteps in the tradition in the center of his Nabhi Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not a Jew, or meta or a beaner, we have this great hope in the mercy of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah has mercy. And that hope is something that we ask for, through a mechanism of behavior, through mitigation of our hearts of removing doubts from them, through sincerity of the words that we say in our remembrance and F code that remind us of the grandeur and the merciful pneus of Allah subhana wa Tada. And then finally, the third step of hope through demonstratable behavior of the deeds and the worships and the behaviors that we perform, that we seek to endear us to a loss of

Hannah and with Allah. And I wish today to speak honestly about the hopes that I have in my heart and the hope that you have in your heart as being a way to leverage it. That becomes something that we say and do not just something that we believe, know that there is a difference between between having hope in your heart for a loss, forgiveness, and seeking to earn a loss forgiveness. In authentic hadith. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says Kamara will Imam Muslim Malema Muslim rule or quotes the prophets I sell them as saying, could lo matija toluna jedna all of my people, all of my nation, all of those who accepted faithfulness and God shall definitely enter Paradise in

lemon Abba, except the one who refuses to go in the one who says I'm not going in Romania they are lawsuit Allah who O Messenger of Allah would say, I'm not gonna go, that they have an opportunity to enter Paradise to enter the eternality of God's forgiveness and mercy and pleasure that is destined for us as human beings and says, No, I don't want to go in color men alcohol, I mean, the whole agenda, the one who takes their path of life obedience to me, not just obedience to God, but immediates to me, which is the obedience of Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala says minuta Rasul Allah, the One who obeys and demonstrated in obedience to the Messenger of God has shown their obedience to

Allah, men authority, the Hillel Jana woman, I saw a need for cadabra the one who obeys me follows this path enters paradise, and the one who willfully intentionally disregards my path of life, my tradition, the theology and the creed that I have brought the way of belief in a love the practice of prayer, and fasting and charity and honesty, the one who takes a path other than my path,

who Sebelius meaning and walks upon a path other than that of faith, so called the EPA has said I don't want to enter Jenna, I don't want to be from the people of Paradise and has refused themselves access. That becomes the standard definition of Raja. The standard definition of Raja is that in your heart, you hope to be from those who have followed the novia salaallah alayhi wa sallam, as well as possible, with as much sincerity as possible with as much conviction as possible that you become from the fortunate to receive Allah's mercy and the authentic hadith also narrated by the man Muslim. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, La Jolla told Jenna huduma Emily no one will

be allowed admission into paradise on account of them doing good enough deeds, you will never pray enough fast enough.
