Salah more Allah hi guys ain al
Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. While
early also can be here Woman, why Allah
insha Allah to Allah, we will take the last interactive Quranic
recitation today, the 10th which emammal Azadi terms at Tibaldi and
it can be translated as disclaiming.
So it says I'll ask you to what every the 10th and her act is
disclaiming maybe and I mean by that and yet Barbara min,
hopefully he will want to he will it will divert ILA and FCB I never
doubt Ischia
is someone disclaims their power in their strength, and they're
noticing their own self or looking at their own self regarding their
own self, I noticed all with the eye of contentment, what to Ischia
and thinking that they are special thinking that they are in a good
state. And this is, of course, a very subtle interact. And he's
gone through the previous nine and ends here to
encourage us to recite in a way that is of the that utmost Ersan.
And this is something again, that doesn't just apply to Quranic
recitation. This applies to all of the different acts of worship that
we do and everything about our deen disclaiming Aneta Balraj,
where we do not claim any strength, we do not claim any
power, we do not claim any ability, and and of our own
selves, we do not think that we're something special or that we are
from the righteous war, that we are in a great state.
Internally, we are always in a state, where we realize that we
need to work on ourselves, we realize that we need to further
the path of spiritual purification.
And, as we mentioned recently, looking at yourself with the eye
of contentment is one of the biggest veils on the path. In
order for us to continue traversing the spiritual path. You
can't be content with yourself, you have to keep working on
yourself. Because if you look at yourself with the eye of
contentment, and you think that you have what you need, how you're
going to better yourself, then if you think you have the knowledge
that you need to already have, if you've already acquired the skills
that you need to acquire, how then can you continue to work hard. And
this is one of the many, but it's one of the important factors of
success and of mastery. And if you're going to ever master your
craft, whatever your craft might be, you have to always continue to
work hard and to realize that you can do something better, whatever
that craft might be. And in the craft of purification of the
heart. Nothing is more important than that. We can always become
more pure, there's always some vise or something that we can
better ourselves regarding. And so this is the last of the 10 anoraks
where we don't claim any power we don't claim any spiritual state
for either 10 I attend what will matter less Saudi hain. So when we
recite for instance, the verses were were promised great things,
and it praises the saga hanging the righteous fella shouldn't have
surrendered Attica. We don't think that that's our state, of course,
that we want to be from that state. But we need to be careful
from reciting those verses and thinking, Oh, that's praising
someone like me, someone who's in my category? No, that's something
we desire, but we don't claim it for ourselves. Better, yes, had
more quinine was said the opinion visa, we actually witness those
people have certainty. And the great high saints that we know
about attaining that state, and the people that we know who have
attained it, who came before us, from the early people from the
great people of our generation, we imagine them and that particular
station, we at the show of ILA, and you'll have a whole load to
either be him, and we long for Allah subhanaw taala data to cause
us to reach them to be among their ranks. So if you it gets to be a
little bit fine, but hopefully the differences become clear. You of
course want to be from those great people that Allah subhanho data is
mentioning, but we don't claim it for ourselves. And when we are
given Tofik and enabling grace to do something good. This becomes
even a little
a bit more difficult to do this because you're doing good. You are
doing something that is drawing you near to Allah subhanaw taala,
at least apparently outwardly. But you also have to have the
corresponding interstate and see that as from the Tofik of Allah.
Allah is the One who blessed you to do that and you don't make any
claims internally for yourself. And then the contrary though, is
when we recite the opposite verses, that are verses that
reproach the people who have done wrong. This is where then we apply
it to ourselves. We that tele I attend mocked within that Asante
Well, mocha Satine. So if we recite the verses that reproach
people, and that Diem
just acts of disobedience to be blameworthy and talk about the
people who fall short. Shaheed enough so who will knock, we
witnessed ourselves there, we consider that to be our state.
Well cut Daraa an animal hartham hopeful and wish Falcon and hun
Mohammed Poffin, wash vaca. And cutlet here we bring to mind that
we are the ones addressed out of and we bring fear to the heart in
a shock, which is also a type of fear.
So we imagine we are the ones that are being addressed. And this is
an etiquette that I've heard my teachers mentioned, should be
present in the heart whenever we're listening to someone else
speak. Even if that person out word has us much less knowledge
than us, even that person is younger than us. Whenever you hear
anyone speak, let alone the great teachers that we learn from, you
should imagine everything that is that they're saying should bring
to mind that it applies to you. And if it's good as human was it
mentioned, we long to be from those people that are being
described, and to have those particular traits. And if it's not
good, you see that as existing within yourself. You don't imagine
other people as it referring that verse referring to someone else.
And that was partially covered when we spoke about SES IE, that
applying the Quranic address to oneself. But here when it comes to
disclaiming, we should apply the verses that relate to reproach to
ourselves. And imagine and believe that we are in that state and we
need to get ourselves out of it.
What do you dedica kind of Omar Radi Allahu Anhu in your code
Allahumma in yourself eurocon Illumio Kofi and this is why we
have narrations that indicate the great KFC known woman hotdog that
he used to say, and again, he was known for being someone who worked
very hard on himself. St. Omar did Mujaddid enough's. He was on the
worked very hard on himself. And I've heard our teachers mentioned
the difference in that regard between Cena, Booker subdeacon,
saying, I want to hop up, said, Now Booker, because he was so
close to the Prophet saw the lights and and even before the
Prophet received, Prophet became a prophet, we know that the amount
of spiritual struggle that he had to put in was less because he had
already spent time with the provinces and he was already
ready. So it was much easier for him to be adorned with those
virtues. As a result, were saying, I'm going to help Bob, even though
that he had aspects of his life that were virtuous before he
became Muslim. And he was known to be very wise. And he was known to
be just
however, he had to work hard on himself. And and there's many
areas where he needed to struggle with himself, but he was gifted
great ranks of closest to Allah subhanho data. And then after
cinemabox Sadiq we say that no one is greater in rank than Senator on
my mental health, Tom. And where's he buried? He's buried right near
the prophesy centum. Right next to Senator Booker Siddiq was buried
right next to say notice we did sobre la la do sub you send them
and so he attained this great rank, but
they they mentioned is that he was someone who had to work hard on
himself. But as a result, he was gifted great gifts and these are
examples of how he was on himself in YesStyle vehicle Illumio F ki O
Allah, I seek your forgiveness for my little my wrongdoing and my
cover and my disbelief but here it's best translated as
ingratitude. My lack of gratitude and how the London from about a
quarter of it was in such them after the hearing say this, okay.
I understand the lumen, the wrongdoing and as witnesses and
ourselves, but what about Cofer, how do you witness in yourself go
forth. And then he quoted the verse in insana level lumen.
CAFOD indeed the human being is that someone who is doing all
types of wrongdoing and consistently ingratitude in great
ungrateful, ungrateful. So these two traits of linen, and quote,
that are a part of human beings that this manifests often in them
that they do wrong consistently, and they tend to be very
ungrateful for Allah subhanaw taala His blessings and so far
here, meaning for his blessings will kill us if you're gonna spot
either carotid Quran we managed to do this. Scarlett was asked that
if you recite the Quran, what do you supplicate for call for Vemma
the editor, he says what should I then supplicate for us? COVID
Allah Azza wa gentlemen toxicity Sabina modern Modra that I seek
forgiveness 70 times for all of my shortcomings, ie in my recitation.
So the first question was one of
because that you've now recited now what are you going to ask
Allah to Allah for? And he changed the frame, know that we don't see
it as Oh, I've made this accomplishment of recitation. And
now I'm almost deserving of being rewarded and asking for something
No, he saw himself as falling short even in the recitation. So
that what did he say? A sulphide Allah so German toxicity Sybrina
Modra. I seek forgiveness from Allah for all of my shortcomings.
70 times. And we are taught this meeting.
Immediately after we since announced from prayer, a cinematic
camera home to law, a cinema medical rooms Allah and the first
thing we do is but still federal law stop federal law stuff and
Allah
Allah, we've just performed a act of worship. But the first thing
that we do is seek the forgiveness of Allah subhanho wa Taala now for
either are enough so we sort of detox here if it occur, it cannot
be two sub akorbi So remember was that he is saying that if someone
sees themself as a short comer
while they're reciting is that seeing himself in this way will be
a means for his proximity to draw near to Allah subhana wa Tada for
Andaman oschmann Arshad al bird for the core. Now Latifi
Philhealth Hata you so called Home In addition, okra for record water
Aha. Now.
So he says that anyone that is that given to see distance in
closeness is that this person will be dealt with gently when they're
in a state of fear. And so that, then that state of fear will then
lead them and drive them to another degree of closeness that
is higher than it. Woman oshi delicado Edward Makeda behave in
Amman at the U of D Herodotus and okra Felwood. As for me, Mojave,
and whoever is given to witness proximity and distance is that
this is a type of enticement of being led astray, such that they
feel secure, and that state will lead to a another degree of
distance even further away and lower than the one that preceded
it. And so
this is the way that people are, really they're in a state of
caught up in a state of proximity or closeness. But they are
witnessing, that they're distinct. And because of that, they
witnessed that they're distant, even though they're actually
really close, they will receive looked, and they will receive
gentleness. And so that state of their being in a state of fear
because of their distance, will lead them to a closer a date, a
state of proximity, and likewise, and the opposite. And so anyone
who is actually really distant, but they're deceived and thinks
that they're close. This is a type of Mecca. They have been led
astray. And the Emin the security that comes from that because they
think that their close will actually lead to a further state
of being further distant. We're gonna have mechanical Shahadat,
Moshe had enough sleep. I know that all Saddam had Ruben been up
seen as long as someone sees himself with the eye of
contentment because that he will be veiled by his own self for
either Jah was 100 lt fat in NFC when I'm you shine Lola dad if
you're currently in cash flow on metal coat, and then when was it
says that if someone that
transcends the state
where they are noticing Arbor
Guarding the self. And they reach a state where they're only
witnessing Allah to Allah in the recitation. This is when the meta
quote, which he previously said, refers to the unseen is unveiled
for him
closely the amount of and obviously the amount of data,
Anuradha luevano What are the benefits when a handle and you
have to Rhonda felt that it had total unfettered.
So that Superman event ever sued him and Danny, that he says, Radi
Allahu Anhu as it even though Ben promised a brother of his that he
would break his fast with him.
So he never came. And sunset entered, and the night went on
until Saturday.
And he never came. So he met his brother the next day. And his
brother said, that you promised me that you were going to break your
fast, but you broke your promise.
And then he responded to me said, Lola me out to come as well took
ability have a cinionic. He says that we're not to be that I had an
appointment with you, I wouldn't have informed you about what kept
me from coming.
And then he describes a state that became him. And it's an example of
inky chef of the middle coach. And again, when we say these stories,
we don't delude ourselves into thinking that these are things
that we've attained. But we come to know that there are people who
came before us who did attain these beautiful things and we
don't worship for them. But they do strength us strengthen us in
certainty. And they do help motivate us along the spiritual
path. And so he said in the landmass isolated Atlanta, which
refers to South Asia, he said when I prayed, so that's an Asia call
to
let go tiro Tabata energy UK, and so that I was going to that price
a lot of winter before coming to you, Lenny Lamin may have had
within inroads he said because I'm not secure in knowing whether or
not I will die for them or convert to admin or whatever when I was
making dua for in the winter prayer
refer to your older turn Hydra fear and was 100 Jana. He says
that it was the shown to me a green lush garden that has all
different types of flowers and blossoms from paradise for Mozilla
to Andre de Deus, but he said I kept looking at it and gazing at
it until I entered into the moon morning.
And remember was that he says how the hidden will cache of these
types of unveilings which is something that is possible. Allah
Tada can unveil something like this for his servant. If he wills
to poetical Madonna latacunga Illa about the Tabata dream and
enough's. He said they only happen after someone
does not make any claims. When Adam and Eve Atilla illa Huwa. And
they no longer regard their own selves and they don't incline
towards their passions, some to hustle to hustle to some
to hustle hard Hill MahaShivratri hustle, cash if
I wouldn't call cash if and that then the states of unveilings are
singled out depending upon the very state of the one who's
receiving the unveiling for a theater is Raja Yoga by the highly
illest hipshot. This person that when they recite verses that
relate to hope, what dominates their status is Steve Shaw joy 10
Kashi, but all sorts of agenda for your show. Hello, Ken, how your
aha Jana is that this person might be in a state where paradise a an
image of Paradise is unveiled for them and so he witnesses it as if
he sees it right before his eyes when Hello violet hope and if he
goes to a state where fear dominates crucial have been not it
might be that the Hellfires unveiled to him had the euro and
what are they behind? You might even see different types of
punishment they're in without it getting the camera light Aria
stemmata added a little deeper should eat us hoof. We're modern
Joe Wilma Hoff. Because we see in the words of Allah subhanho data,
there are these gentle manifestations and then there's
these very intense and severe manifestations, things that we
hope for and things that we are fearful of. Well, that it can be
hard to build Safi depending upon the various traits and
characteristics involved. It's been held back from a lot when
intercom will watch. So on one hand, we have mercy and gentleness
on the other that we have that taking
Right, that, that we have vengeance and we have seizing on
behalf of Moshe dedicatee moto Sefa Takala will qualify for the
level Khaled. So depending upon
what someone is witnessing, when they're reading the various words
the reciting and the heart will then go through these different
states. Well there has to be equally Harlington Minister Ellen
MacArthur who I'm going to UNESCO to look at how do we coreboot her
and depending upon the state at hand, one will prepare oneself
then in be prepared for the unveiling at hand that goes along
with what is it someone who's reading it? Yes, who in your
corner has almost done a walk? I don't know most more than even
because it's not possible that the state of the one listening be in
one way and that what it is that they're hearing be different. It's
very good. Um, we're all done. We're kind of about the band we're
gonna move on and we're gonna I'm gonna talk on what kind of Jabbar
Montgomery library canon canon Matata, if you have any explains
the difference, in other words, is that this relates somewhat to what
he mentioned before, which is this idea of a Thor being affected, and
how whatever it is that we are reciting, if we move up in the
degrees of recitation that will impact us greatly. And if it's a
majestic manifestation, there will be a response on art, if it's a
beautiful manifestation, there will be a response in the heart.
And so depending upon what one is reading, there will be a
corresponding impact that has on the heart. But all of this comes
as and this is why man was already mentioned the stories so that we
can know that there are people that attain great spiritual
states, but again, we don't worship Allah for these things.
They're confirmations and they're there for wisdoms. And one of the
wisdoms is to strengthen our certainty and to then dedicate
ourselves more to doing acts that please Him Subhanallah data and
making sure that we avoid at all costs anything that would distance
us from him, because apparently went to Anna Mae a lot of other
pathetic givers Tofik and bless us in all of our affairs. Yeah,
Hamana me May Allah help us to put all of these outward etiquettes
and all these interacts into practice and to strengthen our
relationship with the Quran. Yeah, Hamid I mean, bless us in these
last days of Ramadan Yarraman I mean, you can give us Tofik and
all of our different affairs will sell a lot as you know Ramadan or
the US Army Salam well handily law here a bit alameen and inshallah
to add up what remains is Ababa Robert, the fourth chapter, which
is titled The Fefferman Quran which is here to be rocky, middle
knuckle. So this is going to speak more about understanding the Quran
and Quranic commentary or exegesis. Inshallah Tada, we will
do what we can to look at some of the meanings that this chapter
includes, in the remaining days of this blessed month May Allah to
Anna verses to turn to him in these days and where we all have
end with a great Hutton and hajima of this message, shahada and we
all have our relative Indians in sha Allah to Anna be great and may
and ultimately to us nine and the very best of states and having a
command hospital hajima when we are Lord some 100 data we played
on water Afia and anything that is that in the way of us in attaining
