smilla al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He was a woman with a hammer
Berg. Today's rod we're going to do from the Koran is Surah Allah and Milan verse eight sort of
earlier and we're on verse eight, where Allah subhana wa tada says he teaches us to drop or abana
love to zil Kuru bonobo it had a tener will have an Amiga don't kurama in
00:00:33 -->
00:01:21
our Lord, do not cause our hearts to go astray do not cause our hearts to be misguided after You
have guided us and grant us from yourself mercy, indeed you are the one who grants you are the one.
This is the first dose of soda earlier in Milan it is on the first page of soda in Milan. And in the
beginning of sort of Milan, in the very first section, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions that this
Koran that he has revealed, it is composed of two types of verses, there are the clear verses he
calls them were commands. And then he says there are the with the Shabbat, the ambiguous versus the
versus that can have multiple meanings. Then Allah says those who have a disease in their hearts,
00:01:22 -->
00:01:46
they will look at the ambiguous verses and find incorrect meanings, and they will then end up
rejecting the Quran. And then Allah says but the real believers, they look at the ambiguous in light
of the clear and they say all of it is from Allah, we will believe in it. And then they make this to
up or up down to zero Kuru panna vida de tener Wahab, Elena Milan kurama. So this
00:01:47 -->
00:02:31
is a very, very important one for us not only to be guided, but to not be misguided after guidance
has come to us. And my dear brothers and sisters, there is a very worrying trend that we find in the
Muslim communities, especially of minority lens. And that is that quite a few, especially of our
younger members, they, for whatever reason ended up leaving Islam. And one of the main causes for
this is they find verses they don't understand, they find verses that have they interpreted
incorrectly. And I have said many times I've given a hope a few months ago about this whole topic,
there is nothing that is illogical or irrational in Islam. But there are some things that are beyond
00:02:31 -->
00:03:13
human rationality, there's a difference between irrational and between what is beyond rational? And
what happens? What we find is that some people they question too much. And they question why and how
when the mind cannot go over there. And Allah says, Don't look at the ambiguous versus trying to
find fits in a fitna trying to find difficulty No, rather make dua to Allah for hedaya. And I,
myself have spoken to a number of you know, your youngsters, especially they go through these
phases, and some of them they find verses that they misunderstand. I'll give you one example that
just coming to mind right now and it really shows you how superficial and by the way, these brothers
00:03:13 -->
00:03:53
are not even trained in the Arabic language. They're simply learning this from websites that are
trying to convert them to agnosticism atheism. So they say oh, the Quran preaches that the sun sets
in murky waters with a gap as a verse that the sun goes down in the murky water. And I said to him,
Subhana Allah, this is an expression even in English, we say, the sunset over the water, it doesn't
mean the sun is going inside the water. Do you really think that even if the Arabs at that time had
written the Quran, do you really think they believe the sun is literally going inside a pond? Do you
literally think this? He ends up rejecting Islam because of a English mistranslation? And this is
00:03:53 -->
00:04:34
exactly what a lot is saying. They take them with a sharp and ambiguous verse, and they end up
rejecting the entire faith. And it is truly mind boggling for me. I don't understand that certain
people because they don't understand all the wisdoms of Islam. Why did Allah say this? Why did Allah
make this How long? Why is there five Salah Why is this they end up rejecting any faith? And they
end up creating far more difficult questions that they don't have answers for the biggest questions
of our existence, Islam solves who created us? Why are we here? What will happen after death? How do
we worship Allah? These are the questions that you decide the validity of faith, not Oh, why is
00:04:34 -->
00:05:00
there five set up? Why do we face this way? Do we pray? Why this why that sometimes our minds will
not understand why simply because we don't understand why you will end up rejecting. But as Allah
says, well, there's been a few who beat him azael those that already have a disease. So in reality,
the rejection of Islam is not because they misunderstood the Quran that the sun is setting in a
murky water. No, it's because they have a
00:05:00 -->
00:05:17
problem and they're projecting the problem onto the Quran. Why is Allah allowing this? Why is Allah
forbidding that? Maybe you don't understand but Allah azza wa jal knows best. So the point is this
verse or this, Dora, what it shows us, never take faith for granted.
00:05:18 -->
00:05:58
Faith and the man is the best blessing that Allah has given us. We should never ever take it for
granted that help us we're always going to be guided. No, as we all know, we experienced we go
through phases. Sometimes we're more religious, sometimes we're less, we seek a less refuge. There
are some people, they don't just become less religious, they leave religion altogether. And we are
all familiar with all of them living in this land, we know of Muslims who are would have been that
they have ended up just leaving the faith. So this reminds us of what is important, or not been
allowed to Zulu Bana. Bader it had a tenor or, Lord, you've given us this blessing of faith. you've
00:05:58 -->
00:06:33
allowed us to come to Islam, you've guided us to Islam, or Lord, we beg you we pray to you or Lord,
do not take it away from us after you've given it to us. You know, it's one thing you've never
tasted something so you don't have it. But what if you've tasted it? Now? You don't want to ever get
rid of it? What if you've tasted what it's like to be healthy? You don't want to be sick again? What
if you've tasted what it's like to live such that you don't have to worry about bills, your money is
taken care of. You don't want to go down in poverty. It's so how about knowing what is he Daya
knowing what is Islam, knowing who is your Lord and then turning your back and walking away. And
00:06:33 -->
00:07:14
this is, of course, the classic example of a police of shavon himself, the father of all evil shavon
he knew a lot. He knew the creation, he saw the creation of Adam, and yet he turned his back and
walked away. So don't think that it's not going to happen to anyone. On the contrary, we see this
time and time again, that sometimes somebody might appear to be rightly guided might appear to be
outwardly a person of good but then Subhanallah something happens a tribulation happens a trial
happens and they fall and they fail that test and they turn and they walk away when to be loved. So
this drop reminds us of what is important and it makes us pray to Allah Subhan Allah to zylka
00:07:14 -->
00:07:58
lubaina enthusiasts means to be misguided to go astray the English word zigzag that's exactly what
Zack I mean, to go here and there Robin Allah to zoom Kuru vana, or, Lord, don't make our hearts go
here and there after you've told us the straight path after you've guided us. And remember Allah
says in the Quran, another phrase in the Quran that Alhamdulillah he lady hadn't and he had this
isn't the Quran were supposed to say this as well. We thank Allah Alhamdulillah why, who guided us
to this guidance, one could not deny the Lola and hidin Allah, we would never be guided unless Allah
subhana wa tada had guided us. How do you know you would be a Muslim? If you weren't born into a
00:07:58 -->
00:08:35
Muslim family, some of us many of us in this audience were born into those families. So hamdulillah
we are Muslims. And we're thankful for that. A few in this audience are Converse and we are jealous
of them that they discovered the truth, and they will have a double reward as a prophet of the law.
Why do you send them said but all of us we are here because Allah chose to guide us it's not my
choice is not something I did for myself. Alhamdulillah Hila da da, da, da, da, da da, how many are
the people they don't have a higher guidance. They're living their life without a higher purpose.
How many are those who don't know who created them? And they don't even care to ask the law. How
00:08:35 -->
00:09:19
many are there they're living their lives like animals in a home in LA. And so we thank Allah He has
guided us, but once he's guided us, we definitely don't want to be misguided. So what do I do we
make robina to Zoo bonobo atena and we see this in the dramas of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam there are so many doors I don't have time for all of them but they are following this motif
that asking Allah for guidance of them in Sahih Muslim our Prophet system he said how often I would
hear and make this drop frequently. He would make this drop Yama. Sorry for the sorry for Luminato
it. Oh, you who changes the hearts fluctuates the hearts make sure my heart is fluctuated towards
00:09:19 -->
00:10:00
the truth. hearts go up and down. Hearts change here and there. Oh you who changes the hearts. I
don't want my heart to be changed from the truth. This is the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam another door he would make it to her. That along the Indian rupee Exotica La ilaha illa
Anta and to the lynnie O Allah I asked you about your Islam I seek refuge in your honor and your
glory. There is no god other than you I seek refuge in You Oh Allah from being misguided. Subhana
Allah if anybody doesn't have to worry about misguidance It is our Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
but he is making dua to Allah I seek refuge in your is Allah that I am
00:10:00 -->
00:10:40
Ever misguided and another famous of his he would say reported incident and his salary alone
homogeneous Lucas Tabata Phil armour was Luca azima tavush Allah, I asked you to be firm in this
matter of Islam, I want I want you to make me firm in this matter of Islam. I don't want you to make
me wishy washy. So hello once again our Prophet system making dua to Allah a sebata says, I want to
be firm in Islam when azima to Allah rush and what my intention to be strong in guidance, I wouldn't
want to be misguided. I want to be rightly guided and I want to have my intention strong when I'm
rightly guided. These are the doors of our Profit System following from the dawn of the Quran that
00:10:40 -->
00:11:23
Allah taught us He is literally teaching in Sudan and Milan as for those who believe they say, Rob
banner, Oh our Lord that Robin Allah to Zoo buena vida de terre do not cause our hearts to be
misguided after we have been guided. So this is a frequent drop of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and it should be our frequent drop as well. Never, ever, ever forget that the best blessing
that I have and you have is the blessing of hidayah. Once we've tasted it, then we should always be
eager never to lose it. Even Ibrahim the father of all prophets while building the Kaaba, he said,
Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from ever worshipping an idol. One of the great scholars of the past
00:11:23 -->
00:11:52
said if Ibrahim was scared of idolatry, then how can we feel safe? If Ibrahim was scared he might
fall back into idolatry then How can any of us feel safe we will not be guided after we have been
guided. We're always eager. We're always wanting to protect our emotion. And one of the ways we do
that is this rock band to zil una vida de tener will have an ability on karma in the country will
