00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			We're still reading from the book of Al
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			-Mujahidah, Struggling for the Cause of Allah, subhanahu
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			Umriyad al-Saliheen, Imam al-Nabawi rahimahullah wa
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			ta'ala, brings hadith number 101.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			101, qal, wa'an Abi Hurairat radiallahu anhu,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			anna Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam qal.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			Hujibat al-naru bil shahawat, wa hujibat al
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			-jannatu bil makarih, hayth muttafakun alayhim.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
			Wa fil wa'id Muslim, huffat, which means
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			the same thing.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			So the meaning of the translation here, the
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			qal, the hellfire is surrounded with all kinds
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			of desires and passions.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			And jannah, paradise, is surrounded with all adversities
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			and hardships and difficulties basically.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Rawahu al-Bukhari wa Muslim.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			What does that mean?
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			How is that related to al-Mujahidah, ya
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			jama'a?
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			How is that related to the struggle for
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			the sake of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam?
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			I mean, what it means is that if
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			you're going to be going to jannah, you're
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			going to have a rosy path to jannah,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			right?
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			Is it true, ya jama'a?
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			That jannah is a rosy path?
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			Absolutely not.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			There are a lot of obstacles you have
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			to jump over and go underneath and so
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			many things that you have to struggle in
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			order to get to al-jannah.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			Huffat al-jannah bil-makarah, jannah was surrounded
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			with hardships and difficulties.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			Makarah, the word makarah means dislikes, things that
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			you don't naturally desire to do.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			Like how many of us would really, really
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			desire to wake up in the middle of
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			the night when it's freezing cold and you're
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			in the warmth of your blanket, masha'Allah,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			to go and wash your hands and your
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			face with cold water?
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			Alhamdulillah, if I were a true worshipper, yeah,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			I would do that.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			I have no problem with this, right?
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			But for somebody, ya'ni, allahu ghafoor rahim,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			khalas, I'll wake up al-dhuhr insha'Allah
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			ta'ala.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			Right?
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			It's not easy, it's not easy.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			And Allah mentioned that clearly in the Qur
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			'an, when it comes to get into al
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			-jannah, it's not going to be easy.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			Even in terms of ibtila'at, alif, la,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			mim, ma, hasib, an, nas, wa, yutruk, wa,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

			wa, ya, qul, wa, ya, qul, wa, ya,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			qul, wa They were mentioned clearly in the
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			And I need as a believer to try
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			my best to resist falling into these desires
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			and shahwat.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			As shahwat, if you look at the desires,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			they're on the lower level, right?
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			Spirituality is in the upper level.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			So if you would like to reach the
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			level of angels, you're going to have to
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			ascend up.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			You go up.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			Going up goes against what, Ijma'ah?
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			Gravity, right?
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			But if you want to go with desires,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:46
			they're below.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			They're lower level, right?
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			So what do you need to do to
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			get to the desires?
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			Just let go.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			Let go of all these restrictions, all these
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			morals, all these akhlaaq and manners, and you
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			find yourself just sinking and immersing yourself in
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			the whole thing.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			So you need to resist the ma'asiyah,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			the sin, and also resist in performing the
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			ibadah to do it perfectly.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			The third level of mujahada, qal as-sabru
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			ala aqdarillah.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			To exercise patience in the face of the
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			qadr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, which
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:18
			means the decree.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			The decree of what?
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			The decree of sickness, the decree of destruction,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			the decree of fire.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			And I have no control over it.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			But I need to exercise the utmost level
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			of patience in the face of all these
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			things.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			That's part of the mujahada, and this hadith
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			speaks about these two things.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			That you resist when it comes to staying
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			away from the shahwat that leads to jahannam.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			And also you resist by keeping steadfast on
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			the path that leads to jannah.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			Even though it's hard and difficult, but you
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			still need to do that.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			firm on the path to jannah, ya rabbal
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:50
			alameen.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			And protect us from the path that leads
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:52
			to jahannam.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:53
			Wallahu a'lam.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:54
			Any questions?
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			All right.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:08
			Guys, keep in mind that tonight is going
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			to be cold, freezing cold.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			Temperature is going to drop.
