hidayah
in English language means guidance, but the linguistic
definition of the word hedaya
in r&b language means at the
era shared a shared what Delilah, meaning words
are shared when somebody show you a path show you a direction to
your destination. So your GPS is your hidayah because it's it's
showing you the path to your destination. So this diet is very
unique because Allah subhanaw taala is focusing on this aspect
of the diet in this diet Allah subhanaw taala says Rob bene led
to ZIL kolu bunna bad it had Atana will have Elana Milla dhankar Rama
in NACA and telehealth, Allah said, Our Lord led to the Kulu
banner did not deviate us from guidance do not deviate our hearts
from guidance.
Bad it had a tendency after you have guided us the old man the
scholars spoke about this land. And he said that there are two
types of guidance now and mineral hidayah two types of guidance. The
first type of guidance is Hidayatullah Illa slots when Allah
shows you the path guidance to the path. So it's helping you to find
the path from first place. You're not on the path yet, but Allah has
shown you where is the path to him subhanaw taala where is the way to
him Subhana wa Tada. So this is the first type of guidance he they
are to illustrate illustrated guidance to the path.
The second type of guidance Hidayatullah fifth Surat guidance
on the path now you know where is the path to Allah subhanaw taala
but there is some of us, we know where is the path, but while
during our journey we get lost in the process. Here the DA is
focusing on the second type of guidance of hidayah. Here Allah is
saying do not deviate our heart after you have guided us meaning
that you have showed us the path. But now please Allah keep our
hearts firm throughout the journey. This is the dua of the of
the second type of guidance. Now Robin Allah to the Hulu bada bada
in her data, heavy learner Mila don't Kurama grant is from your
mercy, Your infinite mercy. Here Allah is emphasizing the idea that
guidance comes from his mercy, not because of our actions, because
our actions cannot really match the the power of Allah's guidance.
This guidance is out of generosity of Allah subhanaw taala out of his
infinite mercy. So we were where Allah is emphasizing this idea
that we should ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us guidance out of
his infinite mercy subhanaw taala in Nikka Entel will help and you
are emphasizing one more time that Allah is the One who gives Allah
is the one who guides because if Allah wills not to guide us, we
will never be guided. So again, this is the dua of guidance. Last
question here. What are the signs? How can we know that Allah
subhanaw taala has guided us, the Allah and the scholars spoke about
two things
in our lifetime, and after our death, there are signs that we can
know that Allah has guided us, the first during our our lifetime. The
ultimate said that if Allah is still using you for a good cause.
That's why there is a dua Allah who must Tamil now well at the
start, didn't know Allah uses and never replace us. Or Allah always
use us for goodness, any type of goodness, if you're in the
business of, you know, helping others that's, that's a good sign.
If you're in the business of helping here in the masjid, that's
a good sign. If you're in the business of reconciling people.
That's a good sign. If you are in the business of relieving pain
from the poor and the needy, that's a good sign. All of these
are great signs that the scholars speak about. But more importantly,
they spoke about after the lifetime a lifetime of somebody's
panela
two hours ago just landed here in Dallas coming from New Jersey.
And
we were burying one of my students with the name of Omer NOFA.
And it was it was very emotional. It was very emotional because
Hamid Nofal
he, he used to be
used to be somebody who's very unique, very young, he was 17.
And from day one, you will find him with a smile on his face.
And his dedication I never seen in my lifetime with all the students
that I've taught hundreds of students since I started, you
know, teaching Islamic Studies until now, I've never seen
somebody that dedicated to the point that we are as a leadership,
we were talking about having a scholarship for him so he can go
overseas, sees study Islam and coming back as a future Imam, of
the Islamic Center of Passaic County back in Jersey. And
subhanAllah, you know, he met me the first day I came to, to New
Jersey, and he told me share, I've heard the news that you're coming
to our community. And I know that you, you, you know, you study in
other and I want you to teach me everything you learned. And I was
surprised because, you know, this generation doesn't really ask for
this. Like, you really want to learn everything that I you know,
I learned throughout my journey and he said, Yes, every time I
have in my car, he has to recite to me and cliche fix my
pronunciation. I have never seen somebody like this And subhanAllah
the age of 16. He
you know, he wasn't feeling good, they took him to the hospital. And
then the doctor gave them the news that he is diagnosed with
leukemia.
And subhanAllah just think about it, you know, like a doctor visit
can can change your entire lifespan Allah.
He heard that news and he started the journey, a very painful
journey, very painful journey of leukemia, going through these
medications. Somebody who's just you know, young has this great
ambitions and dreams. He wanted to be a history Islamic scholar, that
that's focusing mainly on history. He wanted to he said I have a
dream to unite the entire nation, the entire Ummah,
unique qualities that this brother had, all of a sudden he had, he
had that disease. He stayed one year with this with this cancer
and then he got cured for eight months. Walla Hill are the
brothers and sisters. In this eight months, it was my last eight
months in Jersey before I moved here to Dallas.
And in this eight months Wallahi he never missed Salah to measure
in JAMA. And not just this. We used to have Halaqaat after fajr
and you know, you know the youth is the struggle sometimes with
coming sort of fudge and coming for a harlot of Quran after fish.
This is not really something that's easy. And Wallah, he his
dedication I have never seen he said chef Alhamdulillah Allah has
cured me now I want to give back. Now I want to all the youth to be
guided let me know tell me what to do. I told them Omer, you need to
slow down slow down a little bit, you have to go through this course
of learning first used to you just make him a little bit, you know,
you know, just slow down a little bit so he can actually speed up
later on. I used to tell him this all the time, slow down so you can
speed up.
Then Subhanallah
you know, few months ago, actually, it wasn't it wasn't too
long. It was six weeks ago.
Six weeks ago, leukemia head back cancer hit back. And this time hit
back even tougher, like stronger. So he went to the hospital. And
then this time he was very, he was feeling very, very ill. And I had
these calls with him. I used to call him and tell him Omar, how
are you feeling? He told me a late shift.
It's so tough even to breathe. It's hard. It's hard to breathe.
It's so hard to breathe. He said but you know what? Bashir is?
Sabreen. Allah gives glad tidings to those who are patients. That
was like, Wait a second, you are talking to me about patience.
I can attend hundreds hookah that 100 hook because of you know, the
top of patients that can read tons of books about patients but coming
from someone who is battling cancer and teaching me what Allah
He teaches me about cancer about about patients. You know, I was
reflecting on this. And I remember when he told me I need you to
teach me what you learned in other and now he's being my teacher. Now
he's the one who's actually teaching me. Now he's the one
who's T
To me, he said she asked us if Allah subhanaw taala has divine
wisdom behind everything. And I was like, yes. Yes, Allah has
divine wisdom behind everything and in my mind was, so what is the
divine wisdom behind your sickness? I was thinking about it.
And then I got my answer yesterday.
Brothers and sisters, I got my answer. Yesterday. In his Jenna's.

it was the day before yesterday 12 o'clock in the night.
And then
tremendous youth from the community. Wallahi there were 260
people at the masjid at 12pm. We stayed the entire night in an
attic F in the hundreds. I've never seen this in my life for
somebody's Janessa the body was there. So we stayed at the masjid
the entire night, making dua for Omar NOFA for Allah to shower him
with his mercy.
Stay the entire night. And then we had a huge line. We went and we
saw his beautiful face every single one got to see his
beautiful face. And then the next day yesterday, and the day of
Janessa
Wallah have never seen that large as in my life. These numbers I've
never seen in my life, with the exception of Herman Mackay. The
exception of Hunter McKee, even in Egypt tonight isn't each and never
seen that large and as 1000s of people 1000s of young people
come into his Jenna's making dua for him. And then during that
Janessa
I was overwhelmed with so many texts from youth, and they were
telling me Wallahi It's breaking my heart. And I'm going to start
to pray. I'm going to start following on an awful this path.
And then I was like, Wait a second.
Oh my God, no, Phil is leaving an impact. Probably way greater than
if he would tell him all of his lifetime.
Alma NOFA told me find that divine wisdom behind my sickness. And I
found that on the day of his Janez
Allah subhanaw taala is using him to guide many people. Many people
broke it broke their egos a broke their knifes this story 32
Thinking about what can I do? Because I in one day I'm gonna

with us to Dunkin Donuts get our you know lattes our coffee and we
hang out as part of us. And all of a sudden doctor visit chased all
of his life. She's all of our lives.
Wala Hill are the May founders select the Divine Wisdom is right
here. The impact is leaving now. Not just you know his dreams are
during his lifetime, even after his death is leaving a great
impact. Subhanallah as his father was burying him,
it broke all of our hearts he was telling him Don't worry Alma. No
more doctor visits, no more medications.
You are going to the one who has ultimate mercy. You are now
comfortable.
All of us we were on his grave.

asking Allah subhanaw taala to shower his shower him with his
mercy. It was very, very, very emotional. It was very emotionally
standing on his grave. Knowing that few days ago, he was telling
me he was teaching me he was telling me she refused if I love
you, it was so hard. It was so hard being in the situation. It
was so hard. And then Allah He would comfort me is Hadith
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, when the Prophet said about Asian as

about this brother, that Jana becomes obligatory upon him. And
