We praise him. 14 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,700 We thank him. When goodness comes to us. 15 00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:35,700 We thank Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 16 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,000 When something we regard as even before us, we seek the 17 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,300 protection of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 18 00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:49,000 That is the phrase. Complete and total protection at 19 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,400 all times then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala speaks about his 20 00:01:52,400 --> 00:02:00,000 Mercy, all laughing man.

What Raja Iman is a balance 26 00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:21,500 between the fear of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and we hope 27 00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:25,600 in the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala wallahi, I guarantee 28 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,400 you that this is the month of Mercy. 29 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,900 Let us all turn to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and seek his 30 00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:34,700 forgiveness for indeed. He is forgiving Wholesale in the 31 00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:37,900 month of Ramadan. A loser is the one who has 32 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,400 passed the month of Ramadan and has not been forgiven. 33 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,100 Why he Lululemon at the Rock era? 34 00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:43,600 Madonna. Follow me over Le. 35 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:44,800 Whoa. Be upon. 36 00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:48,200 On the one who has witnessed the month of Ramadan and he has not 37 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,400 been forgiven. It is as though Allah subhanahu 38 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,800 wa'ta'ala is saying look, I am ready to forgive everybody, but 39 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,100 it is us who sometimes don't want that may Allah subhanahu 40 00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:01,800 wa'ta'ala grant us in this month of Ramadan a turning point. 41 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,800 Every one of us needs to make an intention tonight that this 42 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,900 Ramadan will be a Ramadan with a difference. 43 00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:10,800 A Ramadan whereby we will make sure that we struggle to earn 44 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,800 the pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 45 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,200 He says regarding the book. In the next Surah in Surat 46 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,400 al-baqarah, and obviously, I'm not going through every single 47 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000 verse because we don't have the time to do that. 48 00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,900 I have just selected certain verses, obviously. 49 00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:28,900 It is very difficult to select versus because every single 50 00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:32,000 verse is of great importance, but here we have Surat 51 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,200 al-fatiha, the opening Surah, I've mentioned, the fact of the 52 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,100 mercy of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 53 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,900 In fact, one very interesting point before I go to Surat 54 00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:43,000 al-baqarah Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala speaks to us in a 55 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,300 Hadith known as Hadith qudsi. Rasulallah salallahu alaihe 56 00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:50,400 wasalam says Allah Allahu. Allah Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 57 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,700 tells us because some to Solitaire, by any wobble. 58 00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:59,100 In Aberdeen is saying, I have split Surat al-fatiha between 59 00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:02,300 myself and my worshipper into two halves. 60 00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:06,000 So when the worshiper says Al hamdu lillahi rabbil, aalameen, 61 00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,400 all, praise is due to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala lord of the 62 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,800 worlds. I say meaning I respond to him. 63 00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:17,600 My worshipper has Raised me. So every time we say Al hamdu 64 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,399 lillahi rabbil aalameen. We should know that that rock 65 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,200 pool Alamein is responding that he loves it. 66 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,200 When we say that, we should increase that particular 67 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,100 statement and all these statements of the other car and 68 00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:32,500 the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 69 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,900 Then, if I worship assays r-rahmani, r-rahim Allah 70 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:40,200 subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, My Worship has glorified me and 71 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,500 when he says, Molly. Kiyomi Dean he says Allah 72 00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:50,000 subhanahu wa'ta'ala response. My worshipper has exalted me. 73 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:58,200 And then when he says a colonel Budu Orion can understand you 74 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,200 alone. We worship you alone. 75 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,200 We seek help from then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says that is 76 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,700 between me and my worshipper and for my worshiper is whatever he 77 00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:11,400 asks there after the first do our, we make in the Quran. 78 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,200 It Then I'll sell out the lose 30 guide us to the straight 79 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,600 path. May Allah soften our hearts and 80 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,200 may Allah make us all on the straight path and may He keep us 81 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,600 on that straight path. Then let me move on to Surat. 82 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,900 Al-baqarah. Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in the 83 00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:29,500 opening verses of Surat, al-baqarah speaks of the 84 00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:33,800 authenticity of the score on y. Because as soon as you open that 85 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,800 Quran, the first thing, one needs to be convinced about his 86 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,800 the authenticity of that book. When you open the previous 87 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,300 scriptures that we find it today. 88 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,300 Day automatically, we find differences and discrepancies in 89 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:47,900 the scriptures. So the authenticity is 90 00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:50,800 questioned and that automatically drops the value of 91 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,600 the book when it comes to the Quran. 92 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Allah says that any kalki tabula, there is no doubt in 93 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,500 that book. No doubt. 94 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:03,900 There is guidance in it for those who believe let us be from 95 00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:07,100 amongst those who believe. And let us not just pay lip 96 00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:10,400 service to that because Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala describes 97 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,700 several categories of People. The first of those who believe 98 00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:17,500 as he says, if you believe in Allah, then the Quran will be a 99 00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:20,100 form of guidance for you. But if you do not believe in 100 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:23,300 Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, that Quran will not even touch your 101 00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,200 hearts, Allah speaks in the same Surah. 102 00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:36,700 So I said, Colo become, like when he speaks of some of the 103 00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:41,000 hearts and he says some of the hearts become so solid that they 104 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,500 become hot, Hard. They don't tremble and Tremor 105 00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:46,500 with the fear of Allah. Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 106 00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:48,600 No matter what, you utter to certain Hearts. 107 00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:51,800 It doesn't tickle the hearts because those hearts have become 108 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,800 hard. Allah says, they are harder than 109 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,600 rock, some rocks. They will explode and some 110 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,500 rocks. You will find that water will 111 00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,400 gush out of them, but some of the hearts are even harder than 112 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,000 that. May Allah soften our hearts 113 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,400 every single one of us needs to ask himself or herself. 114 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,700 The question. Am I from amongst those whose 115 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:11,700 Hearts have been hardened? Because if our hearts have been 116 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,700 Adam then we are wasting our time reading the Quran. 117 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,600 We are wasting our time. When Allah tells us something 118 00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:20,800 and we deny it or we don't want it or we don't like it. 119 00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:24,100 Then obviously we need to First deal with our own Iman, Allah 120 00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:27,200 subhanahu, wa'ta'ala speaks of the morning and he says those 121 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,300 are the ones who will achieve goodness and guidance from the 122 00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:34,500 quran' then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala speaks of the kuffar 123 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:52,400 in Levy in a comfo. So and Lem to Those whom whether 124 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,400 you want them or you don't want them. 125 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,900 It's all the same for them. May Allah not make us that who 126 00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:03,300 are the cough are two types of kava one, a disbelievers from 127 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,300 amongst those who do not even claim to be momineen and Muslim 128 00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:10,000 in and submitters and Believers and the other those who might be 129 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,700 Believers, but they are so ungrateful. 130 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,300 Grateful, a person who has no form of gratitude in him for his 131 00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:20,700 own Creator is also known as a kaffir because Allah subhanahu 132 00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:22,800 wa'ta'ala speaks about it in the Quran. 133 00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:27,800 He uses the term cover for the one who does not acknowledge the 134 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,600 gift of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 135 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,100 It's not enough to just say, I thank you all a lot by tongue. 136 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,000 Yes, that is part and parcel of it. 137 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,700 But what is much more important is that we utter the words and 138 00:08:39,700 --> 00:08:43,000 over and above that we practice upon what Allah wants us to 139 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,700 practice upon and obviously not all of us can become Pope's 140 00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:50,000 overnight. So to speak, not all of us can 141 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,200 become so Pious and holy overnight, but each one of us 142 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,300 needs to Ask ourselves. Am I heading in the right 143 00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:59,300 direction at least? Am I moving on the right path? 144 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,700 I might be five steps up the ladder which has a hundred steps 145 00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,300 on it. If I've moved to six by the end 146 00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:09,900 of Ramadan I've achieved a lot. If I moved to 7 and 10 and 40 147 00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:13,200 and 50. I've achieved a large amount. 148 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,800 May Allah grant that to us. But if I have gone down the 149 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,300 ladder and back to the ground, then we have lost may Allah not 150 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,900 make us from amongst those. Then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 151 00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:26,600 speaks of the hypocrites. And he speaks of Those whom with 152 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,300 their tongues. They utter the words that, you 153 00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:33,000 know, we believe we are, there we are minion, but inside they 154 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,500 are not Believers and sometimes people utter by the tongue, but 155 00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:39,100 they do not practice. So there are two types of let 156 00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:43,700 me, fuck me, fuck your body and my family that me fat way. 157 00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:46,500 A person is not a Muslim, but he pretends though. 158 00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:49,800 She pretends that he or she is a Muslim that in sha Allah, we ask 159 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,300 Allah to protect us from that. That is very dangerous. 160 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,300 But the time Where we all tend to fall is we say we are not 161 00:09:56,300 --> 00:10:00,500 minion, but when the law and the command of Allah comes to us, we 162 00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:02,500 then think we have a choice in that regard. 163 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,300 No Salah. I'll see about it. 164 00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:05,900 I'm not yet. Ready to read it. 165 00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:08,300 Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala protect us from those types of 166 00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:09,900 statements. We should acknowledge. 167 00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,200 What's right and wrong. If we are weak, we can tell 168 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,700 Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. I acknowledge that what I'm 169 00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:17,800 doing is not right, but at the same time you Allah make me 170 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,900 strong so that I can continue. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 171 00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:25,000 granted to us. So Allah says 1 Min and SI Mi 172 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:48,700 culo a man be lying you Hardy. There are some people who utter 173 00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:50,600 the words. We believe in Allah, we believe 174 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,500 in the last day but yet they do not believe they. 175 00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,100 You that they are cheating Allah and they are cheating the 176 00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,100 Believers but they are cheating. None other than themselves. 177 00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:02,500 May Allah protect us. So we must realize we need to 178 00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:05,800 choose how we Believers. Are we confer, or are we in 179 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,200 between the Hypocrites? And in fact Allah says in 180 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,500 another place in the Quran regarding the Hypocrites in 181 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:20,100 Filipina fit Duncan as finally mean and the Hypocrites are in 182 00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:23,500 the lowest of the fire and we all know the fire. 183 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,100 Fire. The hottest is at the lowest 184 00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:28,100 point. May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 185 00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,600 protect us from the fire. Then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 186 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,900 speaks about such people and he says, do you know what they have 187 00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:38,100 done? They have bought misguidance and 188 00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:41,500 paid for it guidance. They have bought. 189 00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,300 And Allah says it again in another place in the same Surah 190 00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:48,700 and we read the verses tonight. Hola Inc, a levee. 191 00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:51,800 Nice chair. All Hyatt and Dunya. 192 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000 They are people who have purchased the pleasures of this 193 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,300 Dunya and paid for it as a payment. 194 00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:02,700 The whole of the Accra may Allah not do that to us. 195 00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:05,300 Let me give you one example to bring it closer to our brains 196 00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:08,000 and Minds. If a person has a house in Cape 197 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,300 Town here and he happens to be walking from say strand or 198 00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:15,800 somewhere and he is walking on a hot hot day. 199 00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:18,600 No one's giving him a lift. How long is it if you walk one 200 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,900 or two hours, possibly three or four hours, but if you were to 201 00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:23,500 move by motor vehicle, it would be half. 202 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,600 Half an hour. So you are asking for a lift and 203 00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:28,200 no one is there to give you a lift. 204 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,200 One man stops. It's very, very hot. 205 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,200 You don't have food. You don't have anything. 206 00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:34,800 And one man says, I will give you a lift, but sign me. 207 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,300 Your title Deeds for your house. In Cape Town, one would be 208 00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:41,400 foolish to sign his house. You'd say I'd rather walk. 209 00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:43,200 Why? Because you know, that I am 210 00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:47,500 making a payment far, more expensive, far more valuable 211 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:50,500 than what I'm getting in return. What we do every day. 212 00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:53,500 We signing the title Deeds of our houses in Cape Town. 213 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,200 We don't realize we doing it. How do we do it? 214 00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:59,800 Because Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has kept the era which 215 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,500 is large and massive and we cannot describe it. 216 00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:05,300 We don't we cannot speak about its value. 217 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,000 But every day we come at Haram, we do that which is displeases. 218 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,200 Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala by doing that. 219 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,100 We signing away the rooms that Allah is preparing for us in the 220 00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,100 era. Just like the other example, 221 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:17,900 I've given, think about it tonight. 222 00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:21,100 May we not be from amongst those when it comes to walking and 223 00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:24,100 signing a house of the Dunya. It's very simple to comprehend. 224 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,200 But when it comes to the Acura, we need to think and think a lot 225 00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:29,900 then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, you know, people who have 226 00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:32,500 hard hats, people who are munafiqeen, people who are 227 00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:35,200 hypocrites. Allah says so much book. 228 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,500 Come on Romeo. They are deaf. 229 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,300 Deaf to what death to anything. That is good. 230 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,400 Anything that is bad. They are all ears. 231 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,500 You tell them something bad. They will listen to you. 232 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,600 They are deaf. A dum-dum forward, they will not 233 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,800 utter anything good. They can speak, but only bad and 234 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,500 they are blinded Allah subhanahu. 235 00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:59,300 Wa'ta'ala says, they do not see a thing. 236 00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:01,400 That is good. They can only see bad. 237 00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:04,300 May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. Grant us understanding when we 238 00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:07,400 see Harem, when we see the nightclubs, when we see places, 239 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,200 where they are women who are dressed in a Harem way, our eyes 240 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,000 turn very fast. But when we see the Masjid, how 241 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,600 many of us are guilty of not allowing our eyes to turn there 242 00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:21,500 and reading the do Ha may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala grant us the 243 00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:24,800 acceptance to enter the houses of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 244 00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:27,600 And to achieve the coolness of our eyes, the minute. 245 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,500 We see a Manara and Amina. One of these long towers that we 246 00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,300 all know the Menara. The minute. 247 00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:35,500 We see it. Our eyes should be cooled. 248 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,400 Then inshallah. We will be from among those who 249 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,400 will be successful in the Dunya and akhira. 250 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,500 Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says, if you are in doubt now whom we 251 00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:47,100 chose them, we chose the Oakwood one Surah. 252 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,500 Let's see the I've tried it and we all know that they failed. 253 00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,200 Dismally may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala protect us. 254 00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:57,400 So there again Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala speaking of the 255 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,800 authenticity of that particular book or the Quran and Allah 256 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,700 subhanahu. Wa'ta'ala says if you are unable 257 00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:08,500 to do that, then be careful and be warned of a grievous 258 00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:14,700 punishment for a Lambda value, 10 to follow for tacos. 259 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,900 If you are not going to do that, if you are incapable of coming 260 00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:29,200 with a verse or with a Surah of the Quran similar to it and you 261 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,800 will never be able to do that. Then Allah says be conscious of 262 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,900 the fire. Why be conscious of the fire? 263 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,700 The fuel of that fire shall be rocks and Mankind. 264 00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:43,000 Imagine The Rock. If you try to burn a rock, you 265 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,700 won't be able to do that. Unless there is a furnace which 266 00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:50,300 is burning at a very, very high. Temperature may Allah protect 267 00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:53,200 us, but now when everyone hears about the fire, one of the 268 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,200 secrets of the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, is that 269 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,100 immediately after that he speaks about his Mercy. 270 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,800 He says Wabash cheering lady. No, I mean, oh sorry, Hattie and 271 00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:09,600 give Glad Tidings to those who believe and do good deeds. 272 00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:11,800 They will. Not be from amongst those who 273 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,900 who will be burning in the fire. They will be from amongst those 274 00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:19,300 who will be in cool Gardens. Those Gardens will have whatever 275 00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:22,300 their eyes would like, whatever. They, our hearts would like 276 00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:25,200 their minds would like may Allah make us all from amongst them 277 00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:28,900 and Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala thereafter speaks of our enemy. 278 00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:34,500 The enemy who makes us go astray shaitan and the Bliss Allah 279 00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:37,800 speaks of the history of it and I'm sure we are all aware of 280 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,900 that history. We all know how. 281 00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:43,800 Adam alayhi salatu was-salam was tricked into eating from a 282 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,400 certain fruit. May Allah protect us all and 283 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,200 Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has mentions this in the opening 284 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,500 sora's. Why? 285 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:53,300 Because he wants us to know from the very beginning that look, 286 00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:56,500 there is an enemy don't ever please that enemy of yours. 287 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,900 Don't worship the enemy, isn't it Bliss? 288 00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:01,800 Allah and that Allah promised Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala that 289 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,700 Ya Allah. I am definitely going to lead 290 00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:09,099 all these people astray and I'm going to show you I'm going to 291 00:17:09,099 --> 00:17:12,300 show you that they will worship me and not you and Allah 292 00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:14,400 subhanahu. Wa'ta'ala said anyone who 293 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,700 follows you from amongst them will also have the same fate as 294 00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:19,300 you. They will all be cast in 295 00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:22,500 Hellfire. Allah says except those who turn 296 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:24,599 to me. So we need to turn to Allah 297 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,900 subhanahu wa'ta'ala. One of the secrets, Allah 298 00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:31,800 subhanahu wa'ta'ala says oh my worshippers don't ever lose. 299 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,600 Hope in my mercy, no matter what you have done. 300 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,000 That means anyone who loses. Hope in the mercy of Allah. 301 00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:41,400 Subhana, Allah ta'ala has automatically worship shaytan, 302 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,100 because shaytan is the one who makes us lose. 303 00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:46,700 Hope in the mercy of Allah. Subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 304 00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:49,000 This is the month of the turning to Allah. 305 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,900 May Allah granted to me and you may, Allah soften our hearts. 306 00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:54,000 Remember the month is still long ahead. 307 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,300 But before we know it, we will be in our closing session. 308 00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:00,400 If Allah gives us the life to see that Allah subhanahu 309 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,400 wa'ta'ala make that easy for us. So Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 310 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,300 after that speaks about Banu Israel in Banu. 311 00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:07,900 Israel. In the children of Yakima. 312 00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:11,700 Salatu wassalam Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala makes mention of them. 313 00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:13,800 Why? Because they were given so many 314 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,500 gifts from Allah, but they were a lot of them were ungrateful 315 00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:20,800 and Allah speaks about what the outcome was after their 316 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,800 ungratefulness and Allah mentions that because he doesn't 317 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,100 want us to be like that. You know, Allah speaks about 318 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,800 when Musa alayhi salatu. Wassalam told them to slaughter 319 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,600 a cow. They should have just listened 320 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,700 and they know the in Abby was there. 321 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,800 And then Abby told them Slaughter, the cow, what would 322 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,500 happen? If Muhammad salallahu alaihe? 323 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:44,900 Wasalam stood in front of us today and said, everyone stopped 324 00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:47,100 eating interest. What would we do? 325 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,700 Would we be like Banu Israel arguing with that? 326 00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:52,600 NE be Musa alayhi salatu, wassalam. 327 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,200 No, it can't be Haram. There must be something wrong 328 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,800 with it. Meant it can't today. 329 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,500 It's something else. It's unavoidable. 330 00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:02,000 We can't do that. That is what Banu Israel did. 331 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,800 And they were Cursed as a result. 332 00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:06,500 They told Musa alaihi Salam. What type of account? 333 00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:08,100 Come on. There's lots and lots of cows 334 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,400 and so on and they went on and on and the story is there in 335 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,600 Surat al-baqarah. And Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 336 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,000 says, for that reason, their hearts became hard because they 337 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,800 argued with those who came with the correct information to them 338 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,100 with the commands of their created to them. 339 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,400 Let us all ask ourselves. Do we debate and argue with 340 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,300 those who come to us with the truth with the hack? 341 00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:32,300 If we debate and argue with those? 342 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,800 Those who come to us with hack, then surely. 343 00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:38,600 Wouldn't we then fall into the bracket of those who debated 344 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,500 with the MB Allah. He was salatu wassalam. 345 00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:42,700 So let's not do that. If we are weak, we can say, 346 00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:45,900 look, I'm weak. I'm not yet capable or I don't 347 00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:47,600 yet have the strength, but I know I'm wrong. 348 00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:52,400 Admit it but don't argue. And don't justify evil that I am 349 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,100 engaged in or you are engaged in may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 350 00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:59,400 Safeguard all of us, then Allah, subhanahu wa'ta'ala, Speaks 351 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,300 about the Dua of Ibrahim alayhi salatu was Salam and it's very 352 00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:06,000 important that we realize that Ibrahim alayhi salatu. 353 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,500 Wassalam. He worshipped Allah subhanahu 354 00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:12,000 wa'ta'ala and Allah tested him subhanahu wa'ta'ala so much and 355 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,200 after he completed building the Kaaba, he raised his hands and 356 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,600 the do. As I mentioned, we read them 357 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,200 tonight. He says, RAB bana takabal Minah 358 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,300 Allah accept from us. So every time we engage in an 359 00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:28,000 act of worship, ask Allah is acceptance because sometimes 360 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,700 shaytan. Creeps in and he makes us want 361 00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:34,200 to do something to show off.

Allah grant us. 389 00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:02,400 Also, So foresight. Then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 390 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,900 speaks about magic and Allah speaks about Sulaiman and his 391 00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:08,500 salatu. Wassalam one verse one, calf 392 00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:22,900 Azul a man because he didn't teach people 393 00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:25,200 magic and he didn't be rich people. 394 00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:30,400 But the shape on this believed by teaching people see here. 395 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,300 Magic, this is the verse which takes a person who is engaging 396 00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:39,200 in Witchcraft and the person who teaches it and learns it. 397 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,800 It takes them out of the fold of Islam. 398 00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:46,600 Allah says goddess, but worse than that is to accuse innocent 399 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,000 women of being witches. That is worse and innocent men 400 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,300 of being of engaging in that particular act, which we have 401 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,700 absolutely nothing to substantiate. 402 00:22:57,700 --> 00:23:00,300 That is even worse. Xena is a crime. 403 00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:04,600 But worse than Xena is to accuse innocent, people of that act, 404 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,100 may Allah grant us the ability to zip our mouths and rather 405 00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:11,100 make duaa than to accuse innocent people because we 406 00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:13,600 suddenly and automatically become even worse than them. 407 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,600 And finally Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. 408 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,900 In fact, two issues, Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala speaks about 409 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,700 the fact that he is going to test every single one of us. 410 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,900 I need to die. All those closest to me. 411 00:23:26,900 --> 00:23:29,100 Need to die before me, one of us somewhere. 412 00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:31,700 Somehow needs to die. It was going to test us with the 413 00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:35,600 desk with the death of those who are closest to us. 414 00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:37,700 And Allah will test us with Hunger. 415 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Allah will test us with lack of the sense of security. 416 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,500 Allah will test us with drought and so on, he promises and he 417 00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:47,900 guarantees not because he wants to punish us. 418 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,400 But because he wants to see do these people pass the tests or 419 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,300 not. Do they realize that I am the 420 00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:56,700 one in control Muhammad? Sallallahu? 421 00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:59,100 Alehiwassallaam was the best of creation. 422 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,700 He was the highest of all. All he knew that and they were 423 00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:06,300 all other creation is supposed to know that as well, but he 424 00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:09,600 suffered so much. That he sucked the roots of 425 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,100 trees in order to quench his thirst at times. 426 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,700 Allah tested him with that first solely because Allah wanted his 427 00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:19,900 level to be even higher and higher. 428 00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,900 And that we as his own man who followed him later on, could 429 00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:27,300 learn lessons from that. We will never ever get to that 430 00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:28,600 stage. May Allah grant us. 431 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,200 The understanding. He was the most Beloved. 432 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,500 So he was tested more than I can ever be tested and more than you 433 00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,400 can ever be tested. So we need to know how will we 434 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,700 pass these tests? Allah says, yeah. 435 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,000 I love in a monastery. Know Bill Sauder. 436 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,400 He was following two things. O you who believe seek 437 00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:55,300 assistance through patience forbearance and through Salah. 438 00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:59,800 So Allah is the founding partner of DNA in sha Allah in the next 439 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,500 few days. When the versus when more verses 440 00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:06,000 are repeated about Salah. We will enter some of the issues 441 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,200 regarding salla Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala caps by telling us 442 00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:12,800 about Halal and Haram be careful. 443 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,900 Watch out what you eat. Watch? 444 00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:17,600 What goes into your mouth, watch your earnings. 445 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,900 Make sure they are halal. Do you know that if I put in a 446 00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:25,700 morsel of Haram in my mouth, whether it is Haram because it 447 00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:29,000 has not been slaughtered properly or whether it is Haram 448 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,400 because it was earned through. Haram means the first thing that 449 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,200 curses me my teeth, then my time, then my throat. 450 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:41,100 Then the esophagus going down, all: the big: right to the back 451 00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:43,500 until it comes out. Everything is cursing me. 452 00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,300 Why did you put this harming me? It's filthy. 453 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,000 It's bad. I don't want it, but every 454 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,300 single one of us. Cannot feel that we don't 455 00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:56,300 realize it, but it contaminates all our organs and they all 456 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,300 curse us to the degree that they will bear witness against us on 457 00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:02,600 the day of the JAMA. We don't want that to happen. 458 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,600 Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala speaks through rasulallah. 459 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,100 Salallahu, alaihe, wasalam, telling us that that portion of 460 00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:14,000 Flesh, which has been built, or which has been made through, 461 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,700 Haram will never ever enter Jannah and now hula be because 462 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,500 Is it needs to go into the fire to be burnt out? 463 00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:24,700 Only pure things can enter Jannah for that. 464 00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:26,900 Reason. It is of utmost importance. 465 00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:31,000 We will rather lose money and Ran's and property, and what 466 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000 have you then to even have a little bit of her Army now? 467 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,900 Income, may Allah, forgive us. All and may Allah subhanahu 468 00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,000 wa'ta'ala grant us the full benefit of the month of Ramadan. 469 00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:41,900 Allah. Subhanahu wa'ta'ala, accept us 470 00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:44,300 all sallallahu wasallam. All barik, ala, nabina, 471 00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:44,600 Muhammad.
