00:00:01 --> 00:00:12
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah, he was a happy woman,
whether I'm about to sit down at como Rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh to him.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			Very shortly and briefly this morning, I want to share something with you in Shama Diana,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:27
			it's about a topic revolve, being around one of my favorite I had to put on
		
00:00:30 --> 00:01:12
			each and every single day, multiple times a day. We asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to keep us on the
street, in the inner city or autonomous stopping, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to keep us on the
straight path, what is the straight path? What is the what is what is it that we are asking for when
we ask Allah Dena serrato stopping to keep us on the straight path. the straight path is the path of
Islam. And there's only two sources of this path. The two sources of this path you will find in the
book of Allah Subhana who would to Allah, the or and the second source of this path is the Sunnah of
the Prophet alayhi salatu was salam, where he himself was upon what his companions were upon who
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:24
			followed him and those who followed them in righteousness. May Allah Subhana Allah be pleased with
all of them. So this is the path of Allah subhanho wa Taala what you find in his book and the Sunnah
of His Messenger, les Salatu was Salam. That's it. Now,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:34
			the thing about this path, the thing about the straight path, the thing about the path of Islam,
when it relates to your everyday life is
		
00:01:36 --> 00:02:25
			the final destination of this path is genuine. This is what we understand, we understand that the
final destination of this router must have been the path of Allah subhanho wa Taala is Jenna. Now
that path is or that destination is realized, in, in the next life in the theater. In this life in
this life, there is no end to that path. This is a concept that I see a lot of people strive and
struggle for, without really understanding that there is no end to this path in this life. This path
is a continuous road, it's a continuous straight path. And Allah subhanho wa Taala is commanding us
into the day we die, to ask to just stay on this path to remain on this path. There is no point
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:30
			there is no place that you will reach in this life where you can stop and say
		
00:02:31 --> 00:03:16
			Alhamdulillah I'm here, I've made it to my destination. And now I'm just gonna wait on the angels of
death. This is not a reality, this path is continuous, you're going to have bumps and obstacles
along this road you're gonna have some times where you struggle to stay on this path, you're gonna
have times where you slip off this path and come back to it. The point is to remain on this path.
And this is what is known as is dipalma is the karma is to remain steadfast to remain on this path.
When a man came to the Prophet alayhi salatu was Salam. And he asked him a messenger of Allah, give
me some advice, give me some advice, that will be sufficient for me, so that I will never have to
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:27
			ask anything else to anyone else. And this advice will take me to Jana is what the man wanted. And
the Prophet alayhi salatu was Salam. He said to the men
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:50
			say that you believe in Allah. Allah meant to be learning through Mr. Kim, and then remain
steadfast, steadfast. Say that you believe in Allah and remain steadfast. The man asked, okay, give
me something else. He said Allah meant to be like a thermos. dokkan say that you believe in Allah
and remain steadfast. He's asked for a third time. Give me something else. That's not
		
00:03:51 --> 00:04:39
			his long term advice. He wanted a huge advice on the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, and for the third
time the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said koloman to be life on the step and say that you
believe in Allah and remain steadfast upon that. This is what is understood by Dena Serato. Mr. Pim,
keep us on the straight path. Grant us is the karma. grant us the ability to remain on the straight
path until we meet the angel of death on that path. That is the goal in this life. The goal in this
life, dear brothers and sisters, the goal of this life is to remain on that path until you meet the
angel of death while you are on that path. That is the goal is to stay on that path. This is why as
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:59
			a Muslim we struggle and we strive to stay on this path. And if we fall off of it, if we make
mistakes. If we turn the wrong way, we strive to quickly get back on this path and remain on this
path because we never ever, ever, ever, ever know when the Angel of Death is going to come to us.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:29
			We never know when Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna has legislated that death will overtake us. So our
goal is to remain on that path until we read the angel of death. That is the end of your path. The
end of your path is your death. And you want that death to come while you are on sirata monster pin.
This is the goal. This is the goal is just to keep moving forward to keep progressing to keep going.
Yes, you're going to make mistakes. Yes, you're going to
		
00:05:31 --> 00:06:20
			commit sins. Yes, you're going to fall off sometimes think that that happens. And I'm not saying it
happens to all of us, but it happens. And the goal is to get back onto the path and to let the Angel
of Death Find us on this path. That is our goal. And if the Angel of Death find you on this path,
then you will find that the end of your destination is Jen. This brings me to the verse where Allah
Subhana Allah tells us in the Quran, which is one of my favorite, one of my all time favorite verses
of the Quran because of the beautiful, beautiful message where Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us in
Silverthorne facilite chapter 41, verse 30, i a 30, where Allah Subhana Allah says in alladhina
		
00:06:20 --> 00:07:09
			Paulo, in alladhina, por la buena, Allah who must mean that those who save the Lord is Allah, and
those who must upon and then they were umaine upon that they have his diploma upon a man to be late
to muster up and this is exactly what the prophet Lisa was said, I'm told the men, those who say the
Lord is Allah, and they remain on that they have his diploma and stay on that path, that danza Lu, I
lay him on the mela eager that Allah will send to them angels, Allah will send to them angels upon
their death when they died, when they are meeting the angel of death. If they are on that road, if
they are on Sarah Thomas, the theme they have held fast to is dipalma throughout their life, Allah
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:59
			subhanho wa Taala Allah says that the nezu Allah human mela, that He will send to the angels. And
this is the beautiful part of this verse. because let me tell you, the day you die, will be the most
trying day of your life. The day of your death will be the most frightening experience that the
human being will face in this life. There is no man made catastrophe, there is no natural
catastrophe or phenomenon that is as frightening, and is as scary as the day that you meet the angel
of death. But for those for those who have remained upon the Serato monster pin, and they have met
the angel of death, Allah has blessed him because no one Let me tell you this. No One No One remains
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:48
			on the straight path and meets the angel of death on the straight path. Except that Allah subhanho
wa Taala Allah has willed it for them and chosen it for them and has helped them this is why we say
at least 17 times a day Dena Surat almost a pain. So Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna says those who
have remained steadfast remained on this path. And the angel of death comes to them Allah will send
angels to them upon this death upon their most frightening experience upon their most hard day.
Before the Day of Judgment, the hardest day in their life, Allah will send them angels that will say
to them, First Alert to her. Surely, do not be afraid, have no fear, and that the hurtful will
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:56
			attack and don't even be sad, don't even be worried. Don't even be stressed. But
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:48
			I'm sure you have Shirou but have glad tidings Allah to her who will advise you know what am Shirou
but have glad tidings Bill jannetty. Lottie condemned to I don't have glad tidings of Jenna, to I
don't that was promised to him. Subhan Allah, this is the reward of his karma. The reward of is the
karma is that not only will you live a peaceful and fulfilling and satisfying life upon the straight
path, and your life will be full of Amen, your life will be full of pleasure, your life will be full
of the amazing things that Allah subhanho wa Taala has promised to those who believe in Him and who
follow him. But on your hardest day, on your hardest day, you will receive the message, do not be
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:59
			afraid, do not have worry or grief or sadness on this day, but I'm sure but rejoice and have glad
tidings. bilgin, Atilla tea come to I don't
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:14
			Jenna that was promised to you by Allah subhanho wa ala. I mean hamdulillah for the deen of Allah
Islam. It is a very simple and beautiful religion that Allah subhanho wa Taala has blessed us with
and favored us with.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:54
			And it is about staying on that path, you are never going to reach the finality of that path until
you meet the until you meet that Angel of Death. There is no end point in this life for that path.
You keep going forward, and you keep going forward. And you keep going forward. When you meet
obstacles, you hit them head on, and you keep going forward. When you fall in you stumble upon this
path, you pick yourself up, you dust yourself off, and you keep moving forward. If you have fallen
off of this path, if something has caused your email to become weak, if sins have overwhelmed you,
if you have fallen off of this path, and you have strayed from this path, and you are still alive
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:37
			enough to hear this message, if you are still alive in Allah subhanho wa Taala has not will the
Angel of Death find you all for this path, then all you need to do is pick yourself back up, find
yourself back onto that path and keep moving forward. This is the goal of the Muslim. This is the
life of the Muslim a continual struggle, a continual effort, a continual you had to keep going
forward on this path. This is what we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala for dinner Serato knows the theme,
allow us and guide us as we walk down the street path guide us as we walk down the straight path and
help us to continue on this path. So if we can meet the Angel of Death like that, then you have
		
00:11:37 --> 00:12:19
			succeeded. If the day of your death, if the day of your death, you're met with these angels who will
tell you a lot to her for what it is, you know what I'm sure all Belgian metal lady can tune to
Ireland, then you are supremely successful. And you can rest assured that your resting places gender
because that will be your promise. I ask Allah subhanho wa Taala that he gives us the COVID the
ability, the strength, to continue on the straight path to continue upon the path of Allah subhanho
wa Taala the path of tawheed the path of the Quran, the path of the son of the Prophet alayhi
salaatu wa sallam following in the footsteps of his companions and the rightest predecessors who
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:37
			came before us. We have to keep going forward for this insha Allah to Allah, we cannot give up. Once
you give up, then you have lost but as long as you are still struggling on it, as long as you're
still striving upon it, as long as you are still fighting for it. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna
has favored you, has favored you.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:13:06
			So don't be despondent about your mistakes, your mis grievances your sins, worry about them, they
shouldn't worry you, they should pain you they should hurt your conscience, they should keep you up
at night. Absolutely. Because Allah subhanho wa Taala is the most forgiving, but then Allah tells us
very, very, very, very many times in the Quran, that his punishment is severe. So Allah subhanho wa
Taala does punish those who are worthy of his punishment, but
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:53
			the desire of Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna is to forgive is to forgive is to have mercy is to be
forbearing is to be kind is to be gentle. And the only thing that prevents the mercy of Allah
subhanho wa Taala from entering into your life, the only thing that prevents the mercy of Allah
subhanho wa Taala from reaching you is yourself yourself no one else you cannot blame chevonne you
cannot blame your friends. You cannot you cannot blame anyone else. Except but yourself because
Allah's mercy is for anyone who wants it. Anyone who desires it, anyone who seeks it, anyone who
goes after it. So we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna, Dina said Alton must have been our Lord keep
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:12
			us and guide us among the straight path. As we walk this path of life. We want that path of life to
be on the straight path, the path of Allah subhanho wa Taala based upon tawheed based upon the
Quran, based upon the son of his prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam and his companions. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala bless you all,
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			have handily learned now that I am recovering.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:28
			I'm ready to get back into full action. It actually has been a very beneficial thing for me at
hamdulillah the surgery, the downtime, the break, it was much needed.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:37
			For a while before my surgery, just I had come and gone off of social media and traveling and it
just became very difficult for me.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:43
