Allah wa Kula Bala Tim Finn now some very dear Muslims. If you look at the Quranic discourse about
the color of the heart, one finds that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada mentions the reality of the heart and
the stages of the heart and the different types of heart and soul many verses. In today's brief
chutzpah, I want to shed some light about some of the Quranic realities of the world. Because if you
		

			look at how ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada describes the culture. For example, Allah azza wa jal mentions one
type of oil which is the best type of oil and that is the Kalb Saleem, the pure heart. Allah says on
the Day of Judgment, nothing will help anybody yo mela young Pharaoh modern water balloon in Attalla
Bill Calvin Saleem, neither your wealth nor your power nor your children, nothing will benefit you
what will benefit you on the Day of Judgment, the one who comes to Allah with the good hearts, the
good hearts will benefit. Notice how Allah describes this. In another verse, Allah mentions about
those who reject Islam, that Toba Allahu Allah kuruva him their hearts have been covered up in
		

			another verse I love to be him the shower, their hearts have a seal in another verse Hashem Allahu
Allah Kluber him Allah has locked their hearts look, locking, sealing it yet another verse cannibal
Rana either Hubei him their hearts are rusting. What is this rusting of the heart locking of the
heart ceiling of the heart? What is this pure heart and yet another verse, Allah subhanho wa Taala
mentions describing the believers from Metaline who do to whom localu Bone Illa decorilla Their
hearts become soft at the vicar of Allah. So you have the hard heart, you have the soft heart, you
have the sealed heart, you have the covered heart, you have the pure heart, look at all these
		

			different hearts. So here the question arises, what then is the state of your heart and how should
your heart and my heart to be again only so much can be given in one holds up, but the point I want
to really cause us to think about is just like there is a physical heart that is important for the
body. There is a spiritual world that is important for the soul. You know, the most important organ
of the body is the club. We know this right? If your heart is good in the physical sense, then
generally speaking, the rest of your body is going to be good. If your heart is not good, then
Subhanallah doesn't matter the rest of the body Halas there's nothing that can be done. The heart is
		

			the most important organ we all know this. Similarly, for the sole the cold is the most important
for the spirituality. It is the culture and our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said this
explicitly in the Hadith. He said in the Hadith in Sahih Bukhari Muslim, in FL just said the Buddha
he does try to add soil just to do cooler way the faster that faster just to do Kulu Allah He'll
calm. He said, There's one organ, there's one organ in the body. If that organ is good, the whole
body is good. And if that organ is bad, the whole body is bad pause here, this hadith, it applies in
the physical sense and in the spiritual sense. This is the beauty of the kalam of the Prophet
		

			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he's speaking in the medicinal physical and he's also speaking,
speaking in the spiritual in the reality of being prophethood. So in the physical sense, the Prophet
says I'm saying if your heart is good Alhamdulillah generally your body will be good and in the
spiritual sense if the spiritual calvess Good, then generally the rest of your Eman will also be
good. So my point today are one of the main points I want to for us to think about just like
		

			When we do our annual checkup, we go into to do the annual checkup. The first thing the doctor
checks is what he checks your heart, he checks your pulse, he checks your blood pressure, he listens
to the oil. This is the first thing that the doctor does. So I remind myself when you when was the
last time we did a spiritual checkup of our club, when was the last time we checked to the state of
our club? Because the club the spiritual called, is much more important than the physical called
Wallah, he this is the case why? Because the physical called How long would it last? How long would
we live? It's all of us. Our lives are finite, every one of us will return to Allah, the physical,
		

			it is temporary, but the spiritual caliber that is what will dictate our eternal akhira this
spiritual culture, that is what is really going to decide the fate of our eternal life. So here we
are so obsessed with the physical color. Here we are monitoring our blood pressure monitoring or
cholesterol monitoring this and that which is good. I'm not saying we shouldn't do that. But 100
times more important, a million times more important, monitoring the spiritual world. And when was
the last time we even bothered to check up on our spiritual culture? When Allah is telling us we
have so many different types of Kullu so many different types of hearts, and Allah wants us to have
		

			what type of bulb CALB Salim, Allah wants us to have the good heart the pure heart Allah wants us to
have what type of hope the cold the cold that is soft Tallinn Kulu boom, their hearts are soft
hearted. Allah does not want us to have hard hearts, Allah azza wa jal curses those who have
ArtsQuest Lana home what Jana kuruva home harsh away we curse them and we made their hearts hard
hearted or with a biller Allah's Lana is on those whose hearts are hard. We don't want to have hard
hearts we don't want to have sealed hearts. We don't want to have rusted hearts and most And worst
of all, we don't want to have locked and chained hearts Baba Allahu Allah columbium we don't want to
		

			have locked and sealed and shut no so today's hot button how do we monitor the heart? What is the
blood pressure? What is the the the the stethoscope that we're going to put to figure out what is
the spiritual state of the world number one and number two, once we analyze then what do we do
together better calm? Because in the physical sense the doctor will tell you exercise more the
doctor will tell you monitor your cholesterol The doctor will tell you don't eat sweets don't do
this and not eat good exercise healthy. This is the physical call. What is the spiritual equivalent?
What is the the counter dog for when your spiritual column is battling? What do we do in brief
		

			sisters and brothers in brief, one of the ways to monitor the state of the culture there are many
ways one of the ways one of the most important you can call this the blood pressure. The equivalent
of the spiritual blood pressure is the following. Ask yourself how often do I do vicar and think of
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. This is the spiritual pulse of the cult. The more powerful your cult is, the
healthier your child is, then the pulse will be stronger. And what is I say the pulse is the pulse
is the vicar of Allah. The pulse is remembering Allah the pulse is contemplating Allah subhanho wa
Taala the more you are thinking of Allah that is literally with thicker Allah is the more you are
		

			reflective of Allah, the more spiritually strong your heart is. And the less you think of Allah,
well, that is a danger. That is your weak blood pressure. That is the doctor cannot feel a pulse,
where's the pulse? Because you're not doing what needs to be done another mechanism to monitor the
spiritual state of your culture. So were there a number of litmus tests right one of them is you
monitor and you see how often do I think of Allah and do thicker? Another symptom of a pulp a
healthy versus a sick? How do you know? Do you find satisfaction and pleasure in the worship of
Allah? Do you find spiritual fulfillment in your Salah? Do you enjoy listening to the Quran? Do you
		

			find comfort when you're surrounded by people of piety or whatever you have the biller, we seek
Allah's refuge. The prayer is a chore and you don't like doing it because that is the symptom of a
diseased heart sisters and brothers Wallahi it is a diseased heart if the salah becomes a nuisance
and irritation. If you don't like listening to the Quran, if you don't like being in the company of
the pious people, then this is a symptom that there is a bigger problem and that problem is inside
of you. The problem is right here. Allah azza wa jal mentions in the Quran with regards to the
munafo own the worst category of mankind, the lowest of the low, Allah says were either como ella
		

			Sarathi, como Husar Allah. When they stand up to pray, they start
		

			Hands up and they are lazy. They don't want to pray. They don't want to pray. Your aunt Luna nurse
they're doing it because they have to do it. They're doing it because they want to show off
Subhanallah when a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was under stress was under pressure, or
mother ash or the Allahu Anhu says, Whenever something troubled the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam when he had a difficult day when he was surrounded by stress and tension, what would you do?
Pause here what do we do? What do I do? What do you do? We just log on to the internet. We plop in
front of the sofa and turn on the television we find comfort that way. How did the process of do it?
		

			Our mother I should have the Allahu Anhu says he would rush to stand up in Salah when he was
troubled when he had a difficult day. What would bring him comfort. He said in the admittance I
Buhari wear jewelry that aura to irony for Salah the comfort of my soul has been made in the Salah.
I find comfort and peace when I stand in front of Allah subhana wa taala. Now obviously this is the
highest of the highest and the lowest of lows, you hate Salah in the middle or most of us, we know
we have to pray and we pray and we're happy we pray. There's nothing wrong with that. But I'm going
to be honest here. If you don't find comfort in Salah if you're not rejuvenated in Salah then this
		

			is a sign the heart is not as healthy as it needs to be. Many of us most of us we pray and we're
happy we pray Al Hamdulillah that's good. That's the sign the heart is alive. At least we're
praying. But I'm saying honestly, if we don't find happiness in our search this if we don't find the
Sakeena coming in. This means we have some work to do. Because salah should bring comfort Allah be
decree law, he taught my general Kulu was a chemist, Salah tele Vickery, the highest form of vicar
is the Salah, and the Salah is done, and one finds comfort in it when one's heart is good. So these
are two basic symptoms of how you know your spiritual state. How much are you thinking of Allah?
		

			Number one? And number two? What is the state of your own spirituality? When you're worshiping? Do
you find comfort? Do you look forward to the salah or in the Quran and religiosity or are you turned
away from it? So there are other symptoms as well. But time is limited. So let us move on. When we
look at the physical, the doctors will tell you number one cause of bad heart is you're not
exercising and you're eating unhealthy food right? So what is the equivalent in the spiritual side?
What is the number one cause of the spiritual club going on the decline? The number one cause of
your culture going down is that a person does not care about the Shetty out of Allah in their lives.
		

			They don't care about applying the Sharia of Allah. They don't wonder what is haram. What is halal.
They're not bothered is that my it is halal or haram. They're not bothered. Is my food halal or
haram? They're not bothered is my lifestyle halal and haram. It's simply gone from their lives. They
do what they please the halal is what they want, and the Haram is what they don't want. This is the
number one cause of the weakening of the heart. Allah azza wa jal says that the bare knuckle the hem
Mitaka home will call for him the Atilla because they broke the commandment of Allah that I know how
much I noccalula home Casia because they broke the commandments of Allah for the man Nakoda him Mita
		

			calm they didn't follow Allah's commands. They didn't follow haram and halal. They didn't care about
the lifestyle they should live. Allah says that we curse them. He's talking about another group of
people, we curse to them, and we made their hearts hard. Notice how Allah causally linked they
didn't follow the laws, they didn't follow the Sharia. If we want to come closer to Allah subhanaw
taala want to have a good culture then we monitor with our lifestyles with our daily routine Am I
living my life according to the Sharia of Allah is my values my ethics my judgment my waking my
sleeping? What enough Salah to do Sookie wanna hear your Mattila here a bit I mean how Islamic is my
		

			entire life and if you find that your lifestyle is under slumming, don't be surprised this is going
to lead to high cholesterol is going to lead to weak heart is going to lead to bad blood pressure is
exactly what we're doing when a person does not care about one's physical lifestyle, the color is
going to be affected similarly the when one does not care about the spiritual lifestyle, the
spiritual color will be affected and again other things can be said but time is limited. The final
point inshallah Tada for the first football, the final point. So when you go to the doctor, you have
a weak card, whatever the doctor will say, call us that's it, you're gonna have to stop all of this
		

			bad food you're gonna have to get into healthy exercise. He's gonna give you the routine what needs
to be done. Similarly on the spiritual side, what is the routine, if you self acknowledge if you see
for yourself my club is weak, my spirituality is low. Then what is the regiment that must be
prescribed? The number one regiment that must be prescribed
		

			For the heart to become stronger is to increase in the quality and quantity of your of God. To
increase in the quality and quantity of your vicar of Allah. Allah be zicatela he talks about in
nulu verily through the vicar of Allah will the hearts find tranquility and peace now, vicar doesn't
just mean Subhanallah hamdulillah Allah Allah Allah but this is one type of vicar in reality. zikr
encompasses anything that reminds you of Allah. The Quran is the ultimate vicar. Allah says ones
that need to configure well We have sent down the vicar Allah calls the Quran vicar. The Quran is
the ultimate vicar dua is a type of vicar Salah is vicar or acclaim is salata decree, the ultimate
		

			action of vicar is set up so that could doesn't just mean that you sit with a spear and say Allah
Allah, Allah, Allah Subhana Allah that is one type of vicar and that's healthy and good, but all
actions of worship, reciting the Quran and praying sunnah and being involved in anything that
reminds you of Allah, it comes under the ticker and Allah says explicitly that the righteous are
those who their hearts become soft through the Dhikr of Allah that the needle gluco Judo Kuru boom
Isla de que Allah, Allah links the softening of the heart, the purity of the heart, Allah links it
to the concept of vicar, this is explicit in the Quran. And of course, other things can be said
		

			here, but for today's hobo will only mention this one point. So if you analyze yourself that your
heart needs to get a boost, your heart needs to get a a strengthening, then one of the most
important know the most important way to strengthen one's own heart is to increase the quality and
the quantity of vicar and this means salah, this means Quran and this means just the ADKAR Subhan
Allah will hamdulillah Well, La ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar. These are the four of God that are
the queen of all other of God. So many ADKAR are mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah. But the Queen's
Of Them the ones that all that do occur, go back to Subhan Allah will hamdulillah wa la ilaha
		

			illallah wa Allahu Akbar say these cough read the Quran, be involved in your Salah and you will find
your heart will slowly but surely inevitably begin to enjoy the worship of Allah your heart will
become softer your your life will become filled with meaning and purpose, you will attain an inner
tranquility and this is of the greatest blessings of having a good good calm when your heart is
strong. When your heart is spiritually high that an hamdulillah life becomes worth living life
becomes noble you find a sense of Sakina and tama, Nina a sense of tranquility that nothing will
bring you and most importantly when you live your life with the spiritually pure art this is
		

			ensuring that in the ark era you will live the eternally pure life on that day Allah says in the
Quran nothing will benefit you except the one who comes with called Salim so we want to call up
Salim won't have the good heart want to have the best heart the only way to guarantee will have
upset him on the day of judgment is to die with a club setting in this world that's the only way you
cannot attain club send him in the cover. You cannot change your heart and the era so we need to
work on the spiritual called right here and now we need to start emphasizing our spirituality come
closer to Allah subhana wa Tada make sure our clubs are soft, there is no rust on it. There is no
		

			hardness of the heart makes her purify the heart or the F Lucha Menza ka the one who purifies the
heart is the one who will be successful this is in the Quran. The only way to be successful is to
skier to the curb. There's no other way. So let us begin purifying the curb now so that on the Day
of Judgment, we will meet Allah subhana wa Taala we don't need wealth we don't need and children
that's not going to benefit us what will benefit us the one who comes with a surname vertical a

			hamdulillah HillWalker that I had a summit a lady named Maria Willa Mueller who local foreign ahead
what I do during Muslim is one other point before we make dua and finish our football for today.
Subhanallah there's so much happening in the Ummah right now. And here we are, Allah has blessed us
to live in a land of relative peace of comfort Allah has given us every amenity we can one for what
in total, do number two, Allahu Allah. So if we could count the blessings of Allah, Allah says, if
you tried to count the blessings that I have given you, you cannot even count them when Allah has
given us so many blessings. And yet we look around the world and our brothers and sisters around the
		

			world and especially right now unless they fell asleep, but not just They're everywhere we look
Subhanallah there is a wound there is a bleeding taking place. We are
		

			One Ummah, where one body it is as if we have been stabbed in so many places. And yes, right now the
worst stabbing that is affecting us the most is that in the USA and fellow Steen, but around the
world, what is happening amongst the Uyghurs what is happening amongst so many if I mentioned any
countries, somebody's going to come and say you forgot that country, that's the state we are in. I
don't want to start a long list because otherwise we cannot even finish. But Subhanallah My message
to me and you is very simple. How can we not be affected? How can we not have a sense of compassion,
a sense of relationship? We are one OMA and honest, blunt question. I don't want to offend anybody.
		

			But the fact of the matter is, it is Allah's blessing me and you are sitting here and not over
there. I didn't choose where I was born. I didn't choose my life. Allah chose it for me, Allah bless
me. If Allah had willed you, and I would have been born on the other side of the wall in Huzar. You
know this, if Allah had willed, We would have been brought up in a concentration camp, we were
brought up in a open air prison, but Allah blessed us to be over here. So with that blessing, we
thank Allah but with that blessing comes what responsibility with that privilege comes what
responsibility? So if Allah has blessed us to have these freedoms to have these luxuries, well, then
		

			even more incumbent on us that we do something to thank Allah for these blessings, that we
demonstrate to Allah that we are truly thankful for all that He has given us? And there are so many
people, they're not even able to worship Allah in peace. Do you understand how many millions of
Muslims would love to be where you are right now, to be able to pray five times a day to be able to
worship Allah in peace, to be able to raise their families, Allah has given this to me and you on a
silver platter. I didn't ask for it. I didn't ask where I was born. Allah gave it to me. Allah
gifted me and you without asking. And Allah gave us all of these blessings. How then how can we have
		

			such a hard heart that we turn away from the plight of the Ummah and don't care about them? How can
we not demonstrate thankfulness to Allah in all that we do? And so what are some of the ways to
demonstrate that thankfulness first and foremost in your own personal life, make sure you are
striving to have the excellence the highest level? How can people are being tortured because of
their Kenema? In China, they're not allowed to pray five times a day they're in concentration camps.
Muslims are not allowed to practice Islam. How can we see this and then have the luxury to practice
Islam and not practice Islam? It is a shame Allah, He I'm sorry to be blunt here. It is a shame we
		

			have all of these freedoms, and we are not taking advantage by worshipping Allah subhana wa taala.
Well, Allah, He, our brothers and sisters would love to be here so that they can pray. And yet here
we are the dunya dunya dunya. We're not even praying regularly. So point number one and your
personal life, make sure you are the best of the best. Be the best you can be in your business in
your engineering or medicine, but be the best Muslim as well be the best you can be in the deen and
duniya. combine them together. This is point number one. Point number two. Do not ignore the plight
of the people around, give public awareness to them raised in a wise manner. Nobody's saying be
		

			unwise, there are laws there are controversies be wise, but raise public awareness, be active, be a
part of the process of change, bring about a whole intellectual revolution, people don't understand
what's happening there. It's your job in my job to educate, to teach. So learn what is happening.
And then lobby rally campaign, public awareness. And then point number three last but definitely not
least, nothing trivial in this regard. Make dua for them. Wherever possible, fundraise and give
something Allah has given us so much a little bit of percentage of wealth to help the people around
the world support these causes so that on the Day of Judgment, we can say Oh Allah, I couldn't
		

			change the whole situation. But I did what I could, Oh Allah, I'm not in charge of everything. I
can't just snap my fingers and solve the the Palestinian problem, but I made to offer them I lobbied
for them. I changed public awareness for them. I gave whatever I could, whatever small things you do
in sha Allah, that is where Allah's blessings will come. We're not being asked to change the whole
world. We're all being asked to change ourselves. We're being asked to change our family and friends
to impact our community. If we do so, if every one of us did so, what would happen Subhanallah
sisters and brothers so much can be said here, but I have to mention one point here. I just found
		

			out today mashallah Tabata Cola, your community in the city is 10% of the city. This is a statistic
that is mind boggling as somebody who travels the world, somebody who is very active across the
hemisphere, for Toronto to have 10% Muslims 10% To understand one out of 10 people in the greater
city is of our faith tradition. Well, Allahu Allah has blessed you yet that one person that died 10%
is not seeming to be effective. How come the Masters don't understand the Palestinian conflict
properly? How come we're not having a bigger impact on our society? I think the issue is we need to
be more involved. We need to be more engaged. We need to show who we are and show people of our
		

			faith. So Allah
		

			has blessed you. Allah has given you so much take advantage of those blessings rise to meet your
potential. Be the best you can be in the dunya no problem but also be the best you can be in the
deen be a role model Muslim, be an activist, be somebody who embodies the prophetic message so that
when your colleagues when your friends when your neighbors see you, they see the beauty of Islam do
what you can with whatever you have and if you do so, on the Day of Judgment, you would have done
everything Allah wants you to do, you can earn the highest place of Jannah just being the best you
can be May Allah Subhana Allah Allah bless all of us to rise to that level and grant us Caliban
