Which is titled al moja hada the struggle and striving in the Cause
of Allah subhanahu wa taala
striving hard to please Allah azza wa jal alary Kromme for the sake
of Allah subhanahu wa Tada

Allah subhanho wa Taala also says what Abu Bakr had to Kalia teen
continue worshiping Allah. Continue worshiping your Lord
until the debt catches you.
And Allah subhanahu wa taala also says what God is Mara Becca

devote to him with complete devotion.
And he also says for my enamel with Karla the rotten hiring era,
whoever performs a good deed even to the weight of particle he will
definitely see it on the day of judgment.
He also says Walmart to cut the moolah and fusi come in hiding
that you do or in the law he who are higher on what are the Majora,
whatever good you send forth for your own benefit. You will

find it a lot better and greater in reward. And Allah also says
Omar don't feel calm in hate. For in Allah He Aileen whatever you
spend of good in the way of Allah subhanahu wa taala Allah subhanho
wa Taala is fully aware of that.
The purpose of quoting all these verses at the beginning of this
chapter is to draw their attention to something that is very, very
crucial for every single Muslim and for every single believer
which is none other than struggle and striving.
Practicing the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala requires a lot
of struggle. And those who do struggle and those who do strive
for the sake of Allah, Allah subhanahu wa taala has promised
his assistance as his and his health for them. As Allah says in
surah and Kabuto Alladhina Jaha Delphina those who strive hard in
our course Lana Deanna home Cebula Anna will definitely guide them to
our pots. So Allah subhanahu wata, Allah's mercy, Allah's help,
Allah's assistance is always with those and
For those who strive and those who make efforts, non for those,
Allah's mercy and Allah's assistance is not for those who do
not make efforts when it comes to fulfilling the obligations to
Allah who will challenge the record and this is what is called
Al Muda. And this is the word moja is from the same word as Jihad and
the word jihad. Unfortunately, nowadays it is misinterpreted or
misunderstood. There be as soon as the word jihad is spoke or, you
know, as soon as the word jihad is mentioned, something that comes to
someone's mind is, is fighting and killing and murdering naroda
bIllahi min Darrick. And unfortunately, not only non
Muslims and even a vast majority of the Muslims they have
misunderstood this word jihad. The word jihad or Musa that actually
means to strive and to struggle.
And Allah subhanho wa Taala has encouraged us in many I art in the
Quran, that we must strive and struggle for the sake of Allah.
For you attending the masjid for a SHA pray,
it requires a lot of efforts. You have worked for eight 910 hours
during the day, you come back home and you are tired. You had your
dinner, you really want to relax and take some rest. It requires a
lot of efforts and you have to struggle to get up, make wudu and
make your way to the masjid. This is real jihad. This is jihad.
And Allah subhanahu wa taala says we're Latina. Jaha do fina those
who do strive art, Lana, Deanna homeschool Anna, we guide them to
our parts. So you as a Muslim as a believer, you need to show and
make efforts from your end first. Before you expect Allah subhanahu
wa taala to shower His mercy upon you. And unfortunately, vast
majority of the Muslims they try to work other way around.
They want that Allah subhanahu wa taala does everything for them.
Allah makes everything easy for them. So that they do not make
they do not need to make any efforts. They do not go through
any struggle. We as Allah subhanahu wa taala has clearly
said in the Quran has evenness to a neutral coin yaku Manawa Humla
afternoon, I people thought or believed that they are going to
leave
that they are going to be left alone and they are not going to go
through the struggle and trials and tribulations. You have to make
efforts and it is not easy. As he said, establishing five daily
prayers, it is not easy. But once once you try your best and you
struggle and you strive then Allah subhanahu wa taala will make easy
for you.
And Allah will make the salah easy for you to the extent that our
NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to say during that era tiny
few salah the coolness of my eyes has been placed in the Salah, and
he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to enjoy his Salah used to
find his happiness in Salah Ghana either has a BA who among Pharisee
either Salah whenever he would be afflicted by any sadness or any
calamity or anything that would trouble him. He's Allah Allahu
Allah, He was telling them would get up and he would begin his
salah. He used to say to Villa de Allahu Taala who yeah Bilal
Abdullah salatu wa retina Bisola or Veillon call Adan for Salah and
give us some comfort and tranquillity through salah.
And Allah says in the Quran, we're in the Hurlock hubiera this Salah
is very heavy, it's difficult. It's heavy, Illa Alhaji and except
on those who have Koshu and the fear of Allah in the hearts
Alladhina Yaga Nona Anna Humala,
those who have your keen and certainty that they are going to
meet with the Lord on the Day of Judgment. So the point is that you
need to make a lot of efforts for how long you need to make efforts.
Allah says in the Quran Wa Gouda Rebecca Hepta yatta yatta yatta
continue worshiping your Lord until that
that catches your eye
and the word that Allah has used his ear here in this ayah which is
the last I have sought to hedger. Allah says what a Buddha Robuck
worship your Lord and Allah, Allah subhanahu wa taala did not say
what are good or Baca Avada worship your Lord forever. He did
not say worship your Lord every day. He could have used all these
words as a mama to be Rahima Hola. He has explained beautifully in
his Tafseer he said Allah subhanho wa Taala did not use any of these
words. Rather he said what I will drop back Hata to clear clean,
continue worshiping your Lord until the death catches you
meaning that you need to remain Muslim and Mormon and devote to
Allah subhanahu wa taala continue worshiping Allah until the very
last moment of your life.
There is no stop. There is no pause in the life when it comes to
the worship of Allah Dolcetto lucra What about drop Buck
hedayati are clear clean.
And this is something that if you do, then you must bear in mind
that Allah subhanahu wa taala is going to reserve for you the great
reward on the day of judgment for my family, my father, the rotten
hiring era. Law says whoever does any good, any good act, any good
deed, any act of worship, even to the weight of a smallest particle
of dust,
even to that weight and to that size, Allah will preserve it Allah
will reserve it for you on the Day of Judgment and you will see it
and you will find it. That is why Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
a lot acted on nominal model fishy Why don't want ALPA Africa be
watching punk? Never, ever belittle any good deeds, never
belittle any good deed. Even if it is smiling at the face of your
Muslim brother.
Your smile at the face of a Muslim brother it is also good deed never
neglected. And you it will be counted and it will be added into
the scale of your good deeds on the day of judgment and you will
find it for my enamel with Karla rotten failing your mama to cut
the moody unphysical manhire touchy do who are in the Allah and
Allah subhanho wa Taala also reminded us that
whatever good you do in this dunya you are not doing any favor to
Allah. You are not doing any favor to Allah subhanho wa Taala as
Allah subhanho wa Taala said in a hadith
which is called as Hadith codici a long Hadith and the part of the
hadith is that Allah subhanahu wa taala says if you, my slaves, if
you all together, I wanna come
in second wodgina All of you the very first human being all the way
up to the very last human being, all of you all the insaan all the
jinn, if you were all to get together and you perform good
deeds, you are not going to benefit me with anything.
And if you all together, from the very first human being to the
last, and from the first gene until the last gene, if all
together, you become the most wicked individuals and people and
you commit sins, all kinds of sins, you are not going to harm
me. You cannot harm Omar to cut the muli unphysical whatever good
you do for your own benefit for your own benefit.
Then Allah says that you do her in the law. whatever good you do for
your own benefit you will find it with Allah subhanahu wata Allah
and Allah subhanahu wa taala will never deprive you from the reward
rather that you do or in the law he who were hired on what are the
Majora rather you will find it with Allah subhanahu wa taala in a
greater and better position and with greater reward, as Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that when a slave of Allah
subhanahu wa taala performs one good deed he will be rewarded 10
times and Allah has had in the Quran as well. Mangia Abul Hasan
AlFalah who ashram 30 Whoever does any good deed, the smallest, even
a smallest good deed, whatever you do follow who actually won
failure, then you will be rewarded at least 10 times. And that reward
can increase based on your sincerity, your glass, your
intention, you taqwa and the fear of Allah you have in your heart.
Based on all these, your reward can increase Illa surgery
Meet at the objective up to or even beyond up to 700 times. So
you perform one Salah with complete and quality and who and
full concentration and focus having the fear of Allah will
channel you Crom you will be rewarded of 700 Praise
700 praise, you get one pound in the charity for the sake of Allah
in order to please Allah subhanahu wa taala with sincerity with the
glass purely and solely for the sake of Allah, you give only one
pound you can be rewarded for up to 700 pounds
you get 1000 You can be rewarded up to 7000 pounds.
So this is how Allah subhanahu wa taala preserves your good deeds.
But all of this requires a lot of efforts. A lot of efforts
and that is why mama nawawi Rama Hola.
He has
said this chapter called El Mujahidin striving and struggling
for the sake of Allah Azza wa Jalla, Lyrica as he said at the
beginning, that actual and true jihad is that you do jihad against
your own self.
The other type of jihad, which is only one of the many ways or many
can say shapes of jihad, which is striving in the in the way of
Allah subhanahu wa taala. And obviously it has its own
conditions, its own regulations within the Sharia that is
completely different. That is only one form of but the real jihad is
the jihad that you do against your own self as Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said in a hadith collected by Imam Abu Dawood Rahim
Allah al Mujahid Umoja NAFSA the true Mujahid is the one who does
the jihad against his own self.
As he just gives you the example of attending the masjid for a
Sharpie likewise, for the further pray, how many of us actually make
efforts to wake up in the morning and make our way to the masjid and
attend the Salatin Phrygian congregation. This is something
that is very difficult. That is why Rasulullah sallallahu sallam
said in that as well as salam, O Allah munaf et Salah Tanisha it
was salam al Fajr the heaviest of the praise on the hypocrites and
the Muna 15 are to praise a Shah pray in the foyer pray, and shall
pray because you are tired and further pray because it is
difficult to wake up at Fudger although we have the habit or I
should say the bad habit of not going to sleep early after Salah
to Asia, and we find the best time to waste
which we call actually the time for relaxation after Asia. But
actually this is the time we most of us we actually waste after
Asia. If we were to go to sleep early after Salah Tunisia, acting
upon the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam then waking up
for further would have not been difficult for us. But
unfortunately, this is the level of iman that we have in our
hearts, very weak and very little Eema. And we find it difficult to
wake up FOSATU funny, but it requires a lot of efforts.
And this is the true Jihad that you need to do against your own
self. And then Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam also said well
muhajir mon Hotjar Ramana Hallahan
and this is another thing that Rasulullah Salah Salem has drew
our attention to and nowadays particularly many of us and
especially the youth, they talk a lot about Hegira you know living
in this country is difficult. I have this problem or that problem.
I really want to make Hijra I want to make hijra, okay.
What is your understanding of Hijra? I want to go to a Muslim
country. Okay, before you make that decision, you know, even
before you discuss that concept, ask yourself, have you acted upon
this hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in which he said
Al muhajir man Hazara man, Allah on the true Mahajan is the one who
leaves and abandons what Allah subhanahu wata. Allah has
forbidden what Allah subhanahu wata, Allah has forbidden if you
cannot stay away from committing sins if you cannot refrain from
committing sins. If you cannot make efforts to perform good
deeds, then what is the point of of discussing this topic or this
concept of Hijra that you want to leave this country?
Okay, brother.
Okay, okay. Okay, so I can login
So this is this is what's actually happens, you know, discussing all
these topics a because it is very difficult making jihad against
your own self this is something which actually requires a lot of
efforts.
Talking about others criticizing others it is easy
and you know attacking this individual or that or even
attacking the rulers, the devotees which is very common amongst us,
you find very easy, but ask yourself, how much efforts and
Jihad you made against your own self and Mujahid Dolman? Jah?
NAFSA the true Mujahid is the one who strives against himself
against his own knifes and the true Mohammed is the one who
abandons what Allah subhanahu wata. Allah has forbidden that is
why mama no Rama Allah has said this chapter I'll muda striving
and struggling for the sake of Allah azza wa jal and recon as for
the Hadith, Imam Novita mo Allah is go to the first Hadees that is
collected that is reported by isa you do not Abu Huraira or the
Allahu Taala who says, Allah rasool Allah He sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi salam said, in
Allah Allah Khan. Verily Allah subhanahu wa Dawn has said ma na
da li wa Ian fucka, then to who will help whoever shows any
animosity or enmity towards a Willie, towards my Willie. And the
willie of Allah is the one as Allah has defined it in the Quran.
Allah in Olia Allah Lahore finale him wala homea Hassan own
Alladhina amanu waka Anu Yetta the willie of Allah or Willie EULA, or
Willie is not the one who claims that he is the willie of Allah.
The word Willie means a Friend of Allah, Willie EULA, the willie of
Allah and the friend of Allah someone who is close to Allah
subhanho wa taala. Truly the Willie the one who is true friend
of Allah subhanahu wa taala. He never claims that he is the willie
of Allah. And for those who claim that they are Alia Allah,
unfortunately most of them they are the deceivers. They are the
ones who actually attack people's Iman and they believe and they
actually take away people's Iman and they take away their wealth
and their money as well. By claiming that they are the Alia
Allah they are so pious and righteous. But the true wali of
Allah is the one as Allah says in the Quran, Alladhina amanu wakanow
yet upon those who believed and those who have the taqwa
those who believed in Allah and those who have the fear of Allah,
and the Taqwa of Allah subhanahu wa taala in the hearts and
obviously, the greatest sign of Taqwa is to establish the daily
praise, giving in charity, acting upon the commands of Allah
subhanho wa Taala doing whatever Allah and His Messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam have ordered, and refraining from what hour Allah
subhanahu wata, Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam have forbidden. These are the signs of the Olia Allah or the
wali of Allah. So Allah subhanahu wa taala says in a hadith to
codici, ma li wa Regan and to who will have whoever shows any kind
of hatred or enmity towards my usually towards my friend fuck and
to who will help. Then I Allah, Allah says, I have declared war
against him, and the one against whom Allah subhanahu wa taala has
declared the war he can never be successful, neither in this dunya
nor on the day of judgment. And Allah subhanahu wa taala also says
the Hadith continues wama Takara by Ilya ibdv che hubba lamb
mythology to allay
my slave never draws himself nearer to me, you're closer to me
with anything love. More love to me are beloved to me, then the
obligations then the Ferrara is that I have obligated him, why I
have obliged him to do.
Meaning that if you truly want yourself to draw closer to Allah
subhanho wa taala, then the very first thing you need to
concentrate upon are to fulfill the obligations, fulfill the
obligations, as you mentioned in the last week lesson, that there
are people who try to do this test to be 100 times Allahu Akbar,
Subhan Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, this and that. But when it
comes to establish
during daily prayers, they fail to do so. And this is unfortunately
one of the biggest problem that we find amongst the, amongst so many
Muslim families, that this individual or that individual we
say is afflicted or, or they are afflicted by black magic or
possessed by Jen or this and that and they approach the Imam is the
only thing that I can read.
If the Imam advises them that the first thing you need to do is to
establish your five daily prayers other ways your reading of local
Bacara doing this Ruthie out there Rukia is not going to benefit the
person will leave the masjid straightaway. Now this Imam
doesn't need he you know, this Imam doesn't know anything.
Because he's asking me to Salah I'm suffering from black magic and
this and that. I have asked him to give me some kind of quick remedy.
Give me a dua with a vehicle that I can do. And I can be free from
this difficulty. But Imam is asking me to establish five daily
prayers. No.
I can challenge you Allah He you will never find a person who is
afflicted by a black magic or possessed by Jin. He never
established the salah norm norm matter for how many years not only
weeks or month, no matter for how many years he continued doing
Dhupia and asking people do Rukia on me never any Rukia is going to
benefit.
Want to do something that voluntary, something that is not
as in the religion of Allah something that is not an
obligation.
You concentrate on those acts, and you neglect the Ferraris you
neglect the fright.
We all know as a Muslim within the Legion of Allah subhanahu wa taala
the most important act of worship is Salah. How many Muslims you
find within your own community, those who neglect the Salah and
they are very interested in other voluntary acts. Be it a charity
work raising funds doing this or that helping others. No doubt. All
of them they are part of the religion. But obligations and the
Freud always come first. As Allah said very clear as Rasulullah saw
Salam said in this hadith that Allah says Mata Cara Ilya ibdv
Shane have Baliem him after law 20 My slave can never draw himself
closer to me with anything more beloved to me, then the far right.
And in order to judge yourself,
ask yourself what do you find your interest in
when it comes to the firearm, or in the warfare? Let me give you an
example. Allah subhanahu wa taala gives you your feet and ability to
wake up in the latter part of the night. For the night, pray for
tahajjud pray,
you find yourself humble before Allah subhanahu wa taala with who
when you cry in the night pray and you perform the long term long
ruku long sujood you make a lot of two hours everything in the night.
But when it comes to the failure pray when it comes to a goal as an
older further pray you cannot concentrate you do not have any
issue.
It means that you have given the Nephal which is a night pray,
priority and preference over the fluoride.
Whereas your concentration your issue or the level of your Huzhou
in the Ferraris must be much better and greater than your wushu
and the concentration you find in the night free.
Likewise, when it comes to giving in the way of Allah subhanahu wa
Zakka is something that is an obligation, it is compulsory,
although it has, you know, within the Sharia according to the hadith
of Rasulullah, Salah Salem there is a there are some Shara there
are some conditions that you must reach that level threshold and the
other conditions not every single Muslim is alive to give Zika only
those who have a certain amount of wealth then they have to give Zika
but there are people who neglect the obligation of Zika and they
give a lot in charity in the form of sadaqa or they do other no
awful other kind of voluntary acts. The point is that if you
really want to draw yourself closer to Allah will generally
Crom then the very first thing you need to concentrate upon is the
fatwa it the words you bought and the obligations the more you
concentrate on the obligations. The closer to Allah subhanahu wa
taala you will be drawing yourself
And then the Hadith continues Who am I as I love the Takara boo lamb
noir Phil Hatao Heba
Allah azza wa jal alikom says, When my slave continues, drawing
himself closer to me through nawabi, obviously, after Ferrara
eighth after the YJ, but after the obligatory x, then you have no
orphan and when we say the word knuffel, usually we understand
from the noir finish the novel pre we as in the Sheree and knuffel Is
anything, any x or any good deed that is voluntary.
Because the word noir Phil is the plural of novel and novel in
Arabic means addition or something that is additional, something that
you do in addition to the foreign
Be it a sadhaka or charity or reading Quran or dua or knuffel,
pray or any voluntary act of worship. Allah subhanahu wa taala
says, When my slave continues drawing himself to me by
performing more and more Nawab fail,
I love him Hatha or Heba he continues doing this until I love
him and to fight either Bob to who and when I love him come to asthma
who come to summer holiday yes my OB what Basara hula, do you
observe OB, I become I myself become his hearing by which or
with which he hears what Basara hula the user will be, and I
myself become his site by which with which he sees where the WHO
lady Yeah, Patricia will be her and I become his hand by which he
grasps what Angela who Leti Yum, she Bihar and I become his foot by
which he walks meaning that Allah has assistance Allah has held
Allah has witness is always with him and he does not hear anything
that displeases Allah, he does not see anything and he does not watch
anything that displeases Allah.
He does not hold or D does not grasp anything that displeases
Allah, He does not walk to anything that displeases Allah
Azza wa Jalla lucra. So Allah subhanahu wa taala gives him Tofik
and the ability to refrain from all kinds of haram from all kinds
of sins.
And this is true performing a lot of Nawab Phil Neville pray Neville
dua Neville is still far Neville salah upon the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam Knuffle reading of the Quran. So all these
voluntary acts by all of them, you draw yourself closer to Allah to
the level that Allah subhanahu wa taala loves you. And when Allah
subhanahu wa taala loves you, then Allah subhanahu wa taala make
things easy for you and Allah gives you Tawfeeq and ability to
refrain from haram. And then you reach the level about which Allah
says we're in Salani Otto Ito and when you reach that level, Allah
says when my slave asked me of anything I pray to I gave him
while I in his Thadani law or even and whenever he seeks refuge in
Me, I provide him perfect, I provide him protection and refuge.
So this is after you have gone through all this struggle.
And you have made efforts in order to please Allah subhanho wa Taala
you have made your efforts in fulfilling your obligations to
Allah who will challenge you Crom you have made efforts in order to
please Allah who will generally come then Allah subhanahu wa taala
gives you Tawfik and ability. So this is the true meaning of Musa
and struggle and striving in the way of Allah the Regera the Quran,
we ask Allah subhanahu wa taala that he will generally Quran gives
us our feet and ability to perform our obligations to him will
challenge the Quran. And may Allah subhanahu wa taala gives us all
fish and ability to perform as many voluntary acts of worship as
we can. And may Allah subhanahu wa taala draw us nearer to him will
generally crumb and he gives us tofield to refrain and to abstain
from all kinds of sins in the whole Semyon Kadima. Mujeeb
