			Alhamdulillah All praise is due to Allah subhanho wa Taala we praise Him and we seek His help and
aid and we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our souls and the consequences of our actions.
Indeed whomever Allah guides, none can misguide. And whomever Allah Allah has to be misguided none
can guide him back to the straight path. I bear witness and I testify that there is no deity worthy
of worship other than Allah subhana wa Tada and bear witness and I testify that Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is his final prophet and his most perfect worshiper as to what follows ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada reminds us in the Quran, when he says you have Latina Armando, taco la halco to call
		

			T, one at a Mouton. Illa one to Muslim moon. Oh you who believe be conscious of Allah, the way that
it is befitting that you are conscious of him and do not die except in a state of submission to Him.
Dear Muslims, one of the earliest revelations of the Quran and early makansutra is Surah 230 yards
and inserted that Yachats ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada mentioned some of the stories of the prophets. And
he warns about the final day and the accountability and towards the end of the surah there is a very
powerful verse that will be the subject of our whole Toba. It is a verse that our scholars have said
have commented on and it translates as the Arabic is for Pharaoh in Allah and it translates us flee
		

			to Allah subhanho wa Taala flee and run to Allah subhanho wa Taala fulfill rule illa Allah. What
does it mean when the Quran is telling us to flee and run towards Allah subhanho wa Taala the word
Farah in Arabic means that someone was frightened, and he knew he was in danger. And so he escaped
from that danger by rushing towards a place of safety. All of this is encompassed in the two letters
Farah, he knew he was in danger. And so he wanted to remove himself from that danger, and he raced
to a place of safety. That is what Farah means in the Arabic language to flee for safety to flee
from a danger towards a place of safety. And that is the exact message and meaning of this word in
		

			the Quran. When Musa returns to fit down and fell down challenges him didn't you run away from me?
Musa acknowledges for ferrata to mean Camilla McNiff to come. Yes, I ran away from you when I was
scared of you, the word Ferrara is used, and Allah talks about the day of judgment. And he says on
that day, there will not be a mafara There's no place Turner one away from you're not going to find
a place of safety on the Day of Judgment. So the concept of Ferrara means that you knew you're in
threatened danger, and recognizing this danger, you turned your back and you rushed towards a place
of safety. So Allah is saying, there is no safety other than with me. And without me you are in
		

			perpetual danger. For fuel rule Illa Allah without Allah subhanho wa Taala you are surrounded by
danger, and there is only one place to turn to. There's only one protection and that is turning
towards Allah subhanho wa Taala and this is the message of every single prophets. The prophets were
sent to remind us to turn to Allah to remind us to find our journey to Allah. Ibrahim announces in
the Quran in Nisa, Hebron, Isla Robbie saya Deen I shall journey towards my lord he shall guide me
in Nisa, Hibben Isla Robbie, and more than 20 times a day we make dua to Allah guide us to the
straightway. In fact, our religion revealed a Shetty and the meaning of the Sharia is the path
		

			towards Allah subhanho wa taala. In today's brief holdover, I will elaborate and also summarize what
our scholars of Tafseer have said about this verse because there are many types of running away.
There are many types of fleeing you flee from something to something. So in today's hope, I will
summarize five such concepts
		

			There are mentioned in our classical books and our tradition, what exactly are we running away from?
And what exactly are we running to? Five things will be mentioned number one and the most important
obviously, from Cofer to Eman from Cofer to Eman from believing in any false deity in any object of
veneration from having our hearts attached to anyone other than Allah. We run from this and we run
towards Allah subhana wa Tada towards believing in Allah towards putting our trust in him. One of
the scholars of the past SALADNA Abdullah said, we flee from all besides Allah towards Allah
subhanho wa taala. Our hearts should not be attached to any entity. Our Thai look is the Arabic word
		

			must be in Allah and through Allah and by Allah, if your heart is attached to other than Allah. Of
course, the worst attachment is a false god. But there are attachments that are lesser than a false
god. There's attachments of our soul attachments of greed, attachments of taking care of what we
need to attachments of prioritization. If our priority is not Allah, we need to cut off that
prioritization and we flee towards Allah subhanho wa taala. This is point number one fleeing from
Cofer towards Eman point number two, fleeing from Jehovah to him. We run away from ignorance and
towards knowledge. We run away from every type of ignorance especially ignorance of a religious
		

			nature we run away from that and we run towards a knowledge of this Deen know that Allah is Allah
Alim and he sent us the more Alim the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and our religion is about
it in and the first revelation was about a crop, our entire religion is based upon knowledge of
Allah and knowledge of how to worship Allah. And that is why Allah says, Allah raises those who have
knowledge Jatropha Allahu Latina amen, amen come welder, Dino to the Illuma Dora Judd, we run away
from ignorance and we run towards knowledge. Allah azza wa jal is the source of all knowledge. And
he sends prophets to teach us and he sends books to guide us and the prophets and books are what we
		

			turn to for knowledge. Therefore, as a part of this verse for fuutarou Illa Allah, we must always be
attached to the knowledge of this Deen. We must make sure that there's a constant supply of in in
our daily lives, we must have a regular routine of attaching ourselves to Islamic scholarship. As
we're driving in our cars as we're sitting waiting for something as they are caught in the masjid
every day, every week increase your knowledge of this Deen knowledge of this religion is the
umbilical cord that ties us to our religion. Nothing increases our Eman more than knowledge. And
nothing prepares us for the journey towards Allah more than knowledge. So make sure as we turn to
		

			Allah that the turning is done based upon knowledge. And we thank Allah we live in a time in a place
where there's so much knowledge the internet has made the entire world into a small village Aroona
MA from every language are preaching and teaching Alhamdulillah our community has people of
knowledge benefit from them, listen to them, attend their circles, and make sure there's a regular
supply as you continue on your journey to Allah. So the second type fulfilled rule Allah you turn
away from ignorance and you turn towards knowledge. Number three for Pharaoh Illa Allah run towards
Allah subhanho wa Taala we turn away from disobeying and we turn towards obedience, as they've been
		

			Abbas said when he commented on this verse, run away from disobeying Allah and run towards obeying
Allah run away from Marcia and towards da. And we can also say run away from punishment towards
mercy from itab to Rama. And of course, Allah tells us in the Quran, that the way to attain mercy is
through obedience woman neuter illa huwa rasool Allah, who ye shall La Jolla takahe for hola como
for his own, those who obey Allah and who are conscious of Allah and obey the messenger. These are
the people who will be successful. In a hadith in Sahih Bukhari our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, I will give you an example of my message and what Allah has sent me with. He gave this
		

			example I will give you an example of my message and what Allah has sent me with. He said, My
example is like that of a Warner, who came across a group who were sleeping, and he said to them,
that I am a warner Unto You, I have seen the army that is about to attack you, and I'm warning you
to prepare. I have seen the army myself, so be prepared and flee. And so those who obey the Warner
and runaway will be safe and those who disobeyed the Warner meaning the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam and our heedless shall be destroyed. This hadith tells us that we turn away from disobedience
and we
		

			Turn towards the obedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala there is no success without obedience to Allah
and disobedience to Allah brings about every type of calamity at the personal level and at the
community level and at the societal level. So we turn away from Marcia towards Thora of Allah
subhanho wa Taala that is category number three, category number four for fuutarou Illa Allah, we
turn towards Allah in our dua in our help, we turn towards Allah for our needs. Iya cannot abou what
Yeah, can Esther in whenever we are in trouble whenever we need something, our hands should be
raised first and foremost to Allah subhanho wa Taala ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada tells us in the Quran,
		

			that of the etiquettes of the believer is that they turn to Allah to Luna who Robin wa hubba they
make dua to him constantly in a state of hope in a state of fear. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, advising the closest of his Sahaba way the cell surface Allah why the standard fester
in Billa when you ask make sure you ask Allah and when you seek help, seek the help of Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah. Allah reminds us in the Quran in em sesco Allahu Allah, Doreen Fela Akashi if Allahu
Allahu, if a calamity afflicts you, no one can lift that calamity other than you, when you let go
the higher in and if Allah wants some good to come to you, then none shall come between you and that
		

			good. So why do we turn to other than Allah? Why is our hearts attached to other than Allah?
subhanho wa Taala for Pharaoh in Allah, at times of unease at times of discomfort, what's the first
entity your heart turns to? Where do you find comfort? Where do you find solace? That is a sign of
your Eman. If you turn to Allah immediately if your first refuge is to Allah subhanho wa Taala then
this is a sign of Eman but if you find yourself turning to other entities to other things besides
Allah, then indeed this is a sign of weakness of Eman. We seek Allah's protection in that the fifth
of these things that we can turn to that our scholars mentioned for fugu, Illa Allah and this is
		

			especially relevant in the current world on climate we find ourselves in is to turn away from hafla
towards the clean to turn away from a life of heedlessness from a life of no purpose to a life of
purpose and nobility. Because this generation of ours in particular, is perhaps one of the most if
not the most oblivious generations towards religion and spirituality, over all religion is declining
in the world that we live in religiosity is becoming scarce and rare is it to find somebody who is a
religious person of any stripe or of shape, shape or form. And so fulfill rule Allah means we find
purpose in our lives. Why are we here? What is the purpose of our living? There is no purpose
		

			without Allah. There is no purpose of living, there is no higher goal. Why are we here? If we don't
have Allah then life becomes meaningless life becomes without any purpose. The only meaning that we
will find that is truly noble that is truly worthwhile is by discovering Allah knowing Allah
worshiping Allah having a connection with Allah, when we have ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala our lives
become worthy of living for funeral Illa Allah turn away from the heedlessness Subhana Allah look at
especially our next generation. All they do May Allah guide us and them is tick tock after Facebook
after you do after video that said numbing their senses. This is not the way we will raise the next
		

			generation. We have to teach them for Pharaoh in Allah cut off from this muffler. Cut off from this
heedlessness and discover Allah know Allah subhanho wa Taala because when you don't know Allah, and
when you forget Allah, you forget about yourselves. Allah says in the Quran, what Kuno collodion
Anna sola for answer home and foster home do not be like those who forgot about Allah because those
who forget about Allah, they actually end up forgetting about themselves. This is a very powerful
psychological verse. If you don't know Allah, you don't know yourself, ie the only purpose of
yourself is really in the worship of Allah, you will discover yourself and your life will attain
		

			meaning and you will attain happiness when you are connected with Allah. And when you cut off from
Allah, then you have nothing left to live for. And perhaps that is one of the reasons why we find so
many mental illnesses because religion overall is on the decline. Allah reminds us in the Quran,
Vickery la he talks about in Nakuru verily in the remembrance of Allah to the hearts find
tranquility, this is what it means to turn to Allah for Pharaoh Illa Allah we find meaning in life
		

			Through the worship of Allah subhanho wa taala. So these are five simple realities and of spheres of
what it means to turn to Allah number one, turning away from Cofer towards Eman. Number two, turning
away from Jehovah towards him away from ignorance towards knowledge. Number three, turning away from
Masia from sin towards thought towards worship. Number four, turning away from seeking help from
other than Allah towards yucca, not with what you're gonna stay in. And number five, turning away
from tough love from heedlessness towards your pain towards certainty and this concept of turning to
Allah and prioritizing Allah and setting your direction in the way of Allah. It is something that
		

			our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would do constantly. One example just one example of this,
we learn from our mother or the Allahu anhu, that every single night before going to sleep, the last
day of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he would lie down on his right hand side and he
would make this dua this hadith in Bukhari and Muslim the last two others he would make, it's a
beautiful day. And really it is a summary of a pharaoh Illa Allah the whole dua is a summary of I'm
going towards Allah subhana wa Tada it's a long dua I will say it in Arabic and you can look this up
online Allahumma Islam to an FC Lake well, we'll just do what G Lake were for work to somebody a
		

			lake while Jatoba de Lake rock button water button a lake la manager, our manager Minka is meant to

you and I have put my face in your direction. And I have relegated my affairs to you and I have
taken support from you. There is no rock button what I have put my hope in you and my fear in you.
There is no safety from you. Nor is there any place of refuge except in you. I believe in you, oh
Allah and I believe in the book that you have revealed and the Prophet you have sent this entire
Hadith I turn my face towards you, I put my back in a rush towards you, I submit my affairs towards
		

			you. All of this is about turning towards Allah subhanho wa Taala there is no refuge from Allah
except in Allah, we turn from the punishment of Allah to the Mercy of Allah subhanahu wa taala and
that's what our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reminded us in the famous Hadith pudsey that
Allah azza wa jal says that oh my servant, Whoever comes to me in one step, I come to him in 10
steps and whoever comes to me walking, I come to him running. This is the reality of turning towards
Allah and fleeing towards Allah. Let us prioritize Allah subhanho wa taala. Let us put our Eman in
Allah. Let us take our knowledge from ALLAH and the revelation of Allah subhana wa Taala let us make
		

			the vicar of Allah and they're about to have Allah priority. Let us find meaning in our lives by
remembering Allah subhanho wa Taala let us find pleasure in the obedience of Allah. And when we do
so we will turn away from the punishment of Allah towards the worship of Allah subhanahu wa Tada

			Alhamdulillah Hilda had an I had a summer the lady limited when I'm you lead while I'm your co loco
foreigner had to do do Muslims in the last week or two. Our community has had a series of deaths
amongst our own family and friends and even amongst those who used to pray amongst us. Even today,
there are people that were here last week that are not here today. Constantly, we are surrounded by
death, one after the other, either a distant friend or a near relative meets their end, and every
single Juma and every month comes and we have one or two or three less people in our own gathering.
Every time somebody passes away, every single time we hear of somebody who has moved on. It is as if
		

			Allah is giving us one more opportunity to assess our own lives to assess our own good and bad
before the news of our death reaches others. Dear Muslims realize that nobody lives forever. It is

			Lunasin the perpetual moat every single soul shall taste death. Well Mr. John Oliver sharing
mechanical hold, we have not given eternity to any human being an emitter for human hardly doing, if
you are rasool Allah will die do they think they should live forever? Dear Muslims, every single
time somebody passes on, it is an opportunity for us to remember of our own mortality, our finite
time on this earth. What have we accomplished? And what will we accomplished? Dear Muslims of the
ways that we will make our lives better is by remembering death. We remember death not to be morbid
not to be terrified not to be petrified. We remember death in order to live a better life. Our
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reminded us frequently think of death, he told us frequently
think of death. Think about that. And I asked you and myself an honest question. When was the last
time you actually thought of death? When was the last time you visualized death? And that's one of
the reasons why EMR is so important, because our Eman teaches us what is going to happen at the time
of death and in the journey of death. And in Barossa dear Muslims are in mind myself and all of you
that have the ways we will better ourselves is one we visualized that journey step by step and stage
by stage. Imagine the angels coming to take your soul and ask yourself which of the two types of
		

			angels do you want? The angels of mercy are the angels of punishment. Imagine being lowered into the
gray for the very first time and the first night that shall be in the grave. Imagine Moncada and
Nicki coming and asking you the three questions. We know the questions, the questions have been told
to us. But the answer to those questions will not be based upon our memory. It will not be based
upon what we have memorized. It will be based upon our lives and our actions. Be prepared for that
answer. Know that in the Barossa. Either your cover is one of the gardens of Jannah or it is one of
one of the pits of that fire of * we seek Allah's refuge. Which of the two do you want it to be
		

			visualized? Your Muslim standing on the Day of Judgment in front of Allah visualized? Allah azza wa
jal asking us the questions we know the exam has been set and the questions are public. Every single
question has been told to us visualize Allah azza wa jal asking us My dear servant yah, Abdi, what
did you do with your life, with your health, with your wealth with your time? What did you do with
all that I have given you have an answer from now prepare that answer. Try your best and do not
trivialize any small deed, no matter how small it is, do not trivialize it, because you and I do not
know which small deed might be the most expensive in the eyes of Allah do not trivialize the
		

			opportunity to do any good. And that's what our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that put a
barrier between yourself and the punishment of Allah, even if it's by giving half a day, even if by
smiling in the face of your brother, helping your brother in a small short, being optimistic and
positive. Do not ever give up an opportunity to do good. Keep on planting the seeds of good every
single day live a consistently ethical life. So that insha Allah huzzah Allah, when we meet Allah,
we can say, Yeah, Allah, I'm not the most perfect, but I tried. And this is what I have to show. But
be prepared for that day. And the way you are prepared is by visualizing and thinking about it. Also
		

			do your Muslims as we have so many people passing away amongst us, I remind myself in all of you to
take advantage of our elders take advantage of our elders, for as long as we have them. I speak now
to the youth especially, and to the youngsters amongst us, and to those whose parents are still with
them, that thank Allah that your parents are with you and be good to them and try your best to be a
righteous son or daughter to them. Because the time might come when that is not going to be there
for you. And those that are elderly of your relatives have a good relationship with them called
constantly be in touch with them, because you do not know when that opportunity will be lifted. And
		

			for those whose parents or whose relatives have moved on, know that your life itself is also a
baraka for them and could be a baraka for them by your good deeds, try your best to maintain their
memory constantly gift them good deeds, this is of the least obligations that a righteous son or
daughter should do. Those whose parents have moved on your lives can still be sources of blessings
for them. It is mentioned in the Hadith that the Prophet says and I'm said that a person who has
passed on his rank will be raised high in Jannah. And he's passed away. So he will say to Allah,
Allah, how is my rank being raised? So Allah will say, this is from the good deeds of your son or
		

			your daughter, this the son or daughter that is on this earth and still gifting those deeds So
continue to do them dear Muslims whose parents or relatives are moved on doesn't mean that once they
moved on, their memory is gone. Keep their memories alive.
		

			and do what you can to give sadaqa or to do any good deed to our or Hajj or Umrah or building a
wealth or giving any good deed in their name so that you can continue to benefit them. And also do
your Muslim realize it is the son of Allah, that as you do unto others, so it shall be done unto
you. So as you show reverence and as you show respect to your elders, so to when you are elderly, in
sha Allah, people will show respect to you. And as you remember those that have passed on and as you
send your good deeds to them, then realize that when you have passed on in sha Allah Who to other
there will be progeny of yours that will do good deeds for you come to the you know to Dan, as you
		

			do unto others, it shall be done unto you. So take advantage of those who are living and do not
forget those who have passed on and every one of us, let us prepare for the inevitable end because
that is the end of every single one of us Allahumma and NIDA and for me no Allama letter if you
