00:00:35 --> 00:01:12
			Just some brief reflections on what I recited in the first raka which is the ending of certain
Farrakhan and it is one of the places in the Quran where Allah subhanho wa Taala lists the
characteristics of the believers there's around five places in the Quran where Allah azza wa jal has
a list and this list is about the righteous and the believers and inserted for con the ending of
circle for con Allah azza wa jal has another such list. It's a beautiful list, and it is a list that
every one of us should think about contemplate and try our best to achieve all of the
characteristics on this list. Allah azza wa jal begins this series by saying why Eva da man, this is
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:51
			the series of EVA Ryman about the Rockman those who are the servants of Iran, those who have Allah
has chosen to worship him, this is their list you want to be amongst about the rock man, then this
is the list you need to be having in your mind. So the first characteristic the defining
characteristic of a badass man, a lady and I am shooting out of the hole now. They have humility as
they are walking on this earth. The defining characteristic is a lack of arrogance. They have
humility, they are humble. They are not people that are known for their abrasiveness for their
callousness for their harsh manners, not at all. The number one defining characteristic of Rebbe
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:28
			Rahman a lady named Shauna Allen out of the home now, this means they're interacting with people,
they're not hermits, they haven't cut off from people because of because of they don't like people
or they don't like socialization know, everybody, man have to be active, they have to be involved in
society. And as they're involved in society, they're allowed to always be the best. Our Prophet Sall
Allahu Allah said him said, The believer who interacts with other believers and his patient at the
negative interactions is better than the believer who cuts off and remains at home. We don't just
stay cut off from society when a bad incident happens when somebody is rude to us, you know, in our
		
00:02:28 --> 00:03:07
			gatherings? No, we have to be involved. But as we're involved Yeah, I'm sure Alan Alda the owner and
what are the hotter Bohemia who Luna called who Salama when some person a foolish characteristic
confronts them wants to start an argument. Oh Salama, they don't even get involved in the argument.
Subhanallah how difficult that is, when somebody says something negative about you, somebody
slanders you, somebody wants to drag you down to the to the dust to do something negative you have
to be above that, not just above that, but say Sam smile and move on. This is the lock in the short
term. The other person might think he's won in the long term, it is always the people of o'clock
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:20
			when a call to Sarah they just move on with dignity. Then Allah subhana wa so by the way, so number
one defining characteristic o'clock, that's where it begins. Number two is what
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:27
			number two is what who knows, have you only memorize these verses is very important to understand
number two.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:09
			They are the ones praying to hagit SubhanAllah. The first characteristic, even more important than
Jude is how you interact with people. This is a very profound verse here, that more important than
your private Rituals by the way, all of them are important in order to be about the Rockman you have
to have all of these but the number one your interaction with others. And so many of us we consider
our private rituals our a bar that's more important. And Allah begins the list No, you're allowed
because what really people know you and define you about then of course, you must have rituals. So
what are the you know, Joby to Nairobi, him sujet and Wakayama number two, they're the ones praying
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:48
			tahajjud they're the ones in the middle of the night, nobody else is watching them and they are
standing and praying and ROCOR and sujood while the DNA a b 200, IBM Sojourner Wakayama. So the
second defining characteristic of about Rahman is private rituals and the queen of all private
rituals is tahajjud. There is no ritual that is more beloved in your private life. It really
demonstrates the righteousness of the person then salata tahajjud. So number two is yeah, be too
narrow beam surgeon Wakayama. They're constantly doing sujood and km in the middle of the night.
Number three, what levena Jaco Luna Robin or Stefan either by Johanna in either berkana Rama. By the
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:59
			way, there's two hours in the series of verses two hours only. And it begins with a two hour this
one and it ends with a two hour so there is this motif that they're constantly making you do as
well, even though
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			The two are mentioned. But in this list, the second thing mentioned is a DA. And the last thing
mentioned is a DA. So there is this, this understanding this intuition that there are about the
Rahima are constantly making dua to Allah. And the first door that is mentioned on the list is the
dua of saving yourself from jahannam. Now, this drop is not just about the concept of Jahannam it's
the concept of being conscious that Allah is watching that you have more hassle that there is an
akhira so when you ask Allah to save you from Jahannam what does it illustrate? It illustrates your
son, Allah is watching you your concept of Zen, it but the lack of Nakata for Elementor controller
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:21
			for no Iraq. So even if Allah so even if you cannot see Allah, Allah is watching you and you know
Allah is watching you. So you are constantly monitoring the concept of Maha Sabha I have to answer
to Allah, Allah azza wa jal is going to call me to account and so you're cognizant that there is
going to be in akhira so you make dua to Allah that is referred to as Abba Johanna in either
carnival Rama in the Hassan Musa Quran mukava wala Dena will lead in Allah, Allah Dena ADA
unfuckable. So the fourth characteristic is when they give charity, not the ones who constantly give
charity, no, this is they are giving charity it is assumed it is how they give that Allah describes
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:56
			not the fact that they give it is understood that they're giving this is an interesting play on
words. Here's an interesting way of phrasing it. Allah did not say about the ramen are those who
constantly give, it's understood. They're constantly giving. So Allah describes the quality Allah
describes how they're giving, he doesn't describe the fact that they are giving when they give, then
they give such that it is neither too much or too little. So there's a constant amount that they
give, and lamb UserInfo What am yaku they're not going to give with a Seraph. They're not going to
go bankrupt in South Africa. This is not the way of the believer and neither are they going to be
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:35
			stingy. Right? Rather they are in the middle of this. So Allah azza wa jal says they're generous in
a healthy manner without being in a foolish manner. This is the characteristic of the Rockman
constantly giving in a way that is suitable for what Allah has given them. They don't just go
bankrupt and they leave nothing, no, but they give and they give and they give, and they keep for
their family as well. So this is another defining characteristic of everybody. Rockman then Allah
says, well, ADINA, Elia, Allah Hina, they don't worship false gods and they don't commit to murder,
unless you know it is a saucer or something that you have to for the sake of a proper execution. And
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:41
			they don't commit Zina. Now, question here. Why is this coming so late on the list? Surely murder
and
		
00:07:42 --> 00:08:21
			murder and shitcan Xena, these are such major sins? Why? Why is it coming in the middle of the list?
Why not in the beginning? And the responses that the these characteristics if Allah mentioned in the
beginning, it is not befitting of a bad man? Can you imagine a bad man or those who don't murder,
but any everybody doesn't murder. But Allah wants to us to know about the recommand do not commit
any major sins, and three sins are listed to illustrate all major sins, the biggest major sin is
Schilke, then the biggest major sin against the creation is murder, then the biggest major sin in
your private life between you and Allah is Xena. So these are the three major sins that characterize
		
00:08:21 --> 00:09:03
			all of the other major sins, because major sin either it is shipped, which is the worst, or it is
hurting other people, the worst is murder, or it is in your private life. And the worst is Xena. So
Allah says about the man do not have any major sins, and then whoever has a major sin, yellow Katama
that person they cannot be about the right man, they're going to be punished major sins, the threat
is punishment. But then what if somebody has committed a sin? Is there all hope lost? Nothing can be
done? No, Allah says even those that have done a major sin, you can still become a bad man. How so?
What is the mechanism? 11 tabber Armineh Wamena Amazon Salia Han for hola que Badulla say Adam has
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:43
			an ad. If you have committed a major sin, then you repent and you renew your Eman and you follow up
with good deeds, then Allah will take that major sin and substituted for a good deed so there is
chance to become about the rock man no matter what you have done. Even if you have done murder the
verses saying if you have truly repented to Allah turned over a new leaf, committed your renewed
your Eman and done good deeds after that. Then Allah azza wa jal will allow you to reach the ranks
of the right man. This is one of the most optimistic verses in the Quran. You can become about the
right man, even if you've done shit, even if you've done these major sins, if you truly repent to
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:59
			Allah, not just that, but if true repentance will actually bring about a conversion of the sin into
a good deed rather than being punished for drinking alcohol. Let's say rather than being punished if
the drunkard truly repents and makes a complete change
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			in his life and turns over a new leaf, it is possible that a life of sins will then be rewarded
because in fact those sins were used as a catalyst to become a bad man. So Allah azza wa jal allows
this opportunity, even if you've done these sins, you still have the opportunity to be able to
recommend, then Allah says, well, Nadine Elia Shadowmoon Azura. They are not giving false
testimonies, right. So their their tongue is always speaking the truth. They're not giving
falsehoods, not giving lies in business contracts in the shahada of the court when they're
interacting with other people. They have integrity, they have honesty, what are the international
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:15
			Zuora? What are their Maru Billa Hui Maru KERAMA. This is very similar to what has come in the
beginning of the verse when the foolish confront them. They say salaam, this is similar, but it's
even more higher than this when they pass by gatherings of low water gatherings of low The Scholars
say anything that is a waste of time, anything that is undignified, they pass by with dignity. So
they don't get involved in that which is not their business, they don't get involved in that which
will be of no benefit. They don't get involved in you know, every society and culture The default is
they just waste their time people just get together and do something of no value. And about the
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:53
			recommend or not like this, and by the Romans are higher than this. So they pass by such gatherings
with dignity. At the same time any if nothing Haram is happening there, they're not going to become
irritated or angry, but they're not going to waste their time over there. So when they go by law,
who they go by with Quran with dignity, then Allah says, what the DNA that Luke Kira will be, it
will be him lamea Hebrew it has some omiana When they are reminded of Allah signs of the Quran of
something, they're falling short, and they're not arrogant. They accept the advice and they listen
to it. So another characteristic of the believer of about the rock man is that they are receptive to
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:29
			Naziha. They're receptive to being corrected, they're receptive to listening to the good. There's an
indication here as well that they love to attend circles of knowledge. They want to be amongst the
righteous, they want to listen to the Quran and Sunnah they want to be taught Islam, so to be
associated with henna art of him to be associated with knowledge to be reminded of Allah and His
messenger. This is of the science of very bad man. And then the final characteristic that is
mentioned is the final dua as well. Well the DNA of coluna BANA habla Minh as wodgina was the
reaction of Kurata units, they want righteous family, righteous spouse, and they ask ALLAH SubhanA
		
00:12:29 --> 00:13:06
			wa Tada to make their family righteous as well. So a characteristic of riba Ramadan is that they're
not only interested in themselves, they have to monitor their families as well. They have to take
care of their families as well. You cannot be a righteous person and neglect your family. You cannot
be about the right man, and your family has nothing to do with the body of a man. You have to be
involved in their life, bring the bar up with them constantly make dua for them, want them to be
better and good as well and make dua to Allah subhana wa Tada give us of their progeny and of our
children, that which will be a comfort of our eyes and souls were Jalna and Makina Imam, the final
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:47
			thing that is mentioned and make us an Imam for them, we have talked about this phrase multiple
times, the meaning of Imam here is not the prayer leader. The meaning of Imam here is role model.
And we all desire to be role models for the believers, we desire to be so pious and so righteous,
not for them, but so that Allah subhanho wa Taala makes us role models for the other righteous, then
what Cain should look at us and say, Oh, this is a person who has suffered. This is a person who was
a man, this is a person who has, this is a person who is generous, but we do so not for our ego, we
do so so that we can get the sadhaka Giardia we do so so that we rise the highest ranks. And we ask
		
00:13:47 --> 00:14:26
			Allah for this, we don't ask the people. Yes, we want to be role models, and we want to be the Imams
of the most pain, but not for our ego. We want them how else are we going to get to the highest
rank? How else are we going to be the best of the best by becoming the Imams of the moutain which
Allah and mattina Imam, we want to get that piety and righteousness to leave sadaqa jariya to cause
an impact on people. It is not wrong to want to be the best of the best. On the contrary, that is
the essence of Eman. We want to be the best of the best. But we ask Allah to be the best of the
best. We don't ask people we don't make that the direct goal. It's an indirect goal that Yara make
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:59
			us so good make us so righteous make us so pious that even the pious consider us to be a leader
amongst them. This is a do our making into June we're making in the middle of the night. That's the
door we're making with Jonathan and with Tina, your mama, these are all of the characteristics. The
final one of them, you want to be the best of the best if we reach that, and if we're able to do
that hula iica you design a hole for 30 Miles Subaru those are the people they will get the hold of
the Orpha is the highest place of Jannah. If you went over this in my lecture series of gentlemen
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:34
			The agenda has two broad categories to largely broad categories. The higher category is the horror,
and the highest of the horror, the horror of his genital fellows. So the horror is you can say the
VIP suites, right? This is the highest level as in sort of to walk out you have the cyber horn and
how will you mean right? The Cyber cone that's the horror and those How will you I mean, that's you
know, the average you go to the plane section you have the economy class, you have the business
class right so the warfare is the the business class the word for is the the front row, that's what
we want. So una persona horrify Toby Masaharu those are the people they're going to get the VIP
		
00:15:34 --> 00:16:07
			suites, the horror, so they're either the right man or the higher level of the believers. These are
the if you want to say 11 And if it was a 13 Depending on how you subcategorize them, these are the
characteristics I advise myself on all of you to go back to this section read it on your own with
your own translation understand this list, put it in your mind and then try your best to implement
all of these things even if you can't do it regularly. At least partially began this so that insha
Allah Tada we can be of the about the right man and we can be of those who are the people or the
Word of God. Allah have said I want you to know that much Allah He wabarakatuh why a
