And these two verses summarize for us so many beautiful aspects about our faith. And as well the style of the verses and the context and the benefits that can be derived can take up many long lectures, but of course time is always limited. So we will summarize some of the benefits from this comprehensive revelation of Allah. Allah says in the Quran yeah you Hello Xena amen oh you who believe it okay. What do you do what are Buddha Raja come without? Oh hi Rhonda Allah come to flippin bow down to Allah and record
fall down in such the worship a law and do good. If you do all of this, you will be successful. In this first verse, Allah subhana wa tada lays out the boundary of success. If you want to be successful, forgiven, be granted gender for things are mentioned. And they're summarized into because the first three are all revolving around rituals, do rocor do sujood and worship Allah record and sujood is of course inside out. And that is indicating that number one Salah is the most important aspect of worship. And number two within the Salah, our physical postures of bowing down, lowering our head to Allah and then falling down in prostration. These are the highest of deeds
within the Salah. And all good deeds Erica was to do why would you do a bother of Allah that's the first pillar.

That's the second verse with john he do feel that he has a jihadi strive in the way of a law the way that Allah deserves, you should strive in His way. These are the doors that are flung open, and by the way, this verse was revealed, and there was no military jihad. These verses came before the Battle of Bedouin. Yes, indeed, certain aspects of jihad are military, no doubt about it. But the word Jihad does not only indicate qatal, Jihad can be done with the pen. Jihad can be tongue with the tongue. Jihad can be done with
money. Jihad can be done with knowledge. jihad is multiple areas, and Allah is saying, strive in my way, to the best of your ability. In fact, the way that Allah deserves you strive in His way with joy he do feel that he haka God, whatever good deeds you do, do it the best, whether it is your charity, whether it is helping other people, whether it is via knowledge, whether it is in any endeavor, do it How can a jihadi that is raising the bar very, very, very high. In fact, it is so high that we might lose hope How can I do jihad, the heart of Allah subhanho wa Taala we're dying to fill a haka jihadi, how can I reach that level? And that is why Allah then gives us hope. Allah

What do you think he will give us when we actually asked him when he gave us the best blessing without even us raising our hands when he guided us to Islam without even us asking him? What do you think he's going to do when we asked him Oh Allah give us that highest level?

Why? y Li one of the reasons why Leah coonara su Lucia Hayden alikum, who is the leader of our team, who is going
to be our guide, who is going to be the one that is literally our coach, we look up to him for a role model, we look up to him for inspiration, we look up to him to tell us what to do. Our Prophet Sall Allahu Allah, he was saying that we're not alone. He didn't just create us and then tell us we're Muslims. We have somebody that is going to be monitoring us. And even when he's gone, his son remains, even when he's physically not here his car remains and that will be a witness for all of us. That will be a role model for all of us. licona rasuluh Shaheed en la calm, and then you as well, all Muslims, you have a responsibility, what is your responsibility? What are kulu, shuhada
and anass? So the Prophet system is our leader, he is our Shahid. He is the one we look to, but then he has entrusted us with the task. And what is that task? The rest of mankind should find us to be role models. The rest of mankind should look to us for what it means to be a worshiper.
