[0:05]Alhamdulillah.

[0:31]Brothers and sisters, may Allah subhana wa tala accept all of the

[0:40]deeds that you have performed or shall perform in the month of

[0:46]Ramadan.

[0:50]Amen.

[0:52]>> In yesterday's lecture, we shed light on the concept of love,

[0:59]the concept of unconditional and endless love for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[1:05]And what led us to this concept is the word of ima

[1:13]when he says to Allah subhana wa ta'ala If you place me

[1:27]in hellfire, oh Allah, if on the day of judgment you bring

[1:31]me into hellfire, I will inform its inhabitants that I love you.

[1:38]And we said that hellfire is the most painful and horrific place

[1:48]in existence.

[1:47]There is no place that is more painful or heartbreaking or horrific

[1:53]or awful than Jahnam.

[1:59]Hence those who enter Jahindam will experience extreme outstanding unimaginable physical, emotional

[2:06]and spiritual pain.

[2:07]Even then the Imm says to Allah subhana wa ta'ala, "Ya Allah,

[2:12]if on the day of judgment you sentence me to hell and

[2:18]you bring me into hellfire, then know that I will inform its

[2:22]inhabitants that I love you." Which means that the love of their

[2:28]love for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is unconditional love, everlasting love.

[2:35]They know that Allahawel is beautiful.

[2:39]In fact, he is ultimate beauty and perfection.

[2:43]And they know as a result that Allahawel will never commit any

[2:49]injustice.

[2:50]If he brings anyone into Jahannam on the day of judgment, it's

[2:55]because that individual misbehaved.

[2:57]That individual deserved to be punished by the almighty subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[3:06]So, And the rest of the imment makes a statement that you

[3:18]heard in which was read by the imams in general.

[3:21]They also make a similar statement.

[3:26]Ya Allah, if you bring us into hellfire, we will inform the

[3:30]people of hellfire that we love you.

[3:35]Here the imam reminds us all of working on our love.

[3:39]Our love for allahel should be unconditional.

[3:43]It should be endless.

[3:45]Whatever Allah decrees that we go through, regardless of what he decrees,

[3:50]regardless of the ups and downs and the hardships or blessings that

[3:58]we live or experience, a person's love for Allah subhana wa ta'ala

[4:04]should not be affected.

[4:04]This is one lesson that imam gives us through the statement that

[4:13]you heard.

[4:11]But there are also other lessons.

[4:14]Another lesson that we learn from the im and he says is

[4:22]to be creative my brothers and sisters in being creative in the

[4:31]means that you choose to get closer to Allah and or to

[4:33]attain the fulfillment of your needs.

[4:36]Realize the im tells allahel Allah if you bring me into jahannam

[4:44]I will inform the people of jahannam that I love you.

[4:46]Can you imagine if someone actually enters Jahannam and he starts telling

[4:51]people I love my lord I love allahel what will be Allah's

[4:58]reply or in better terms how will Allah subhana wa ta'ala treat

[5:04]that individual will he keep him in most likely he will not

[5:12]because allahel is the all merciful such a deed will bring down

[5:16]mercy from the all merciful subhana wa ta'ala.

[5:21]Such a deed will bring down forgiveness from he who is all

[5:25]forgiving.

[5:26]So when the im says teaches us to be creative in what

[5:39]inul which means or what means are you going to use to

[5:42]get closer to Allah and or to attain the fulfillment of your

[5:49]needs.

[5:47]One might say for example, "Ya Allah, if you bring me into

[5:54]hellfire, then I will pray in for you.

[5:56]I will worship you over there so that he attains the forgiveness

[6:01]and the mercy of Allah.

[6:04]Ya Allah, if you bring me into on the day of judgment,

[6:11]I will cry for a innam.

[6:13]In fact, I will recite for the im in being creative in

[6:18]being creative in the means that we choose to get closer to

[6:24]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and or to attain the fulfillment of our

[6:29]needs is a lesson that as teaches us when he says A

[6:38]third lesson is a person should never lose hope in Allah subhanahu

[6:45]wa ta'ala even if the day of judgment begins and he witnesses

[6:50]that he is going through ultimate trouble in fact even if Allah

[6:59]tala sentences that individual to jahan he should still have hope that

[7:05]perhaps allahel will forgive me.

[7:07]Perhaps Allah subhanana wa ta'ala will bless me.

[7:09]Perhaps allahel will tell the angels before they throw me into jahannam

[7:19]to take me to heaven.

[7:21]And the opposite is also true.

[7:23]If a person enters jahannam, if a person is placed in the

[7:27]abboard of punishment, he should not lose hope in allahel.

[7:32]You should still have hope that perhaps allahel sooner or later will

[7:36]pull me out of the abode of punishment.

[7:39]One might say, but how does that make sense?

[7:45]If Allahawel decrees on the day of judgment to place me in

[7:49]the abode of punishment, how can I still have hope that he

[7:55]will forgive me?

[7:55]How can I still have hope that perhaps he will bring down

[8:01]forgiveness and mercy upon me when it's clear that I failed my

[8:03]test?

[8:04]I failed my test in this world.

[8:10]To understand this issue, my friends, it is essential to understand the

[8:14]following point.

[8:15]Allah subhanana wa ta'ala does not break his promise when he promises

[8:21]to reward the human being.

[8:26]For example, he tells us through alquran or through the words of

[8:31]that if someone commits a particular good deed, he will receive a

[8:39]particular reward.

[8:38]When the human being performs that good deed, Allah gives him the

[8:43]reward because if he doesn't, he will be breaking his promise.

[8:48]And Allah is what?

[8:51]Surely Allah does not break his promise.

[8:55]Allahel mentions this.

[9:00]Surely Allah does not break his promise.

[9:03]However, when Allah tala promises to punish the individual, he says through

[9:10]the Quran or that if someone commits a particular sin like fornication,

[9:18]like backbiting, like drinking wine or other sins, he will receive a

[9:25]particular punishment.

[9:28]When the human being commits the sin, he will become what?

[9:32]meaning he will deserve the punishment of Allah.

[9:37]But it will be Allah's right to punish him and it will

[9:45]be Allah's right to let go of his right.

[9:47]I'm going to repeat the statement.

[9:49]It will be Allah's right to punish that individual because he misbehaved.

[9:53]But it's also Allah's right to let go of his right.

[9:56]It's his right to say I I do not want to exact

[10:00]punishment to bring down punishment upon that individual.

[10:06]Bear in mind Allah subhana t is right.

[10:11]However, as says and he's also which indicates that Allah's mercy is

[10:24]not bestowed upon people in a random manner.

[10:28]When Allah tala bestows mercy upon someone, there is a wise reason

[10:33]or there's a wisdom behind bestowing mercy on that individual.

[10:38]Sometimes wisdom decrees that this individual must be punished.

[10:46]So allahel chooses to punish him.

[10:49]Long story short, Allahel Allah's actions are all wise.

[10:52]His actions never contradict wisdom.

[10:57]Sometimes what will be wise, the wise thing to do will be

[11:03]to bestow mercy upon the human being.

[11:05]And sometimes the wise thing to do will be to bestow punishment,

[11:11]to punish the criminal, to punish the one who violated the laws

[11:15]of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[11:17]If this is clear, we'll understand why we said earlier that even

[11:21]if Allah ta'ala decrees to punish us on their judgment.

[11:27]Even if we're sentenced to hellfire, we should still have hope.

[11:30]Perhaps Allah will forgive us before we enter hellfire.

[11:36]Perhaps he will tell his angels to take us back to heaven

[11:46]to take us to the abode of reward.

[11:52]Imam has another marvelous statement in dua which confirms whatever we just

[12:01]said.

[12:02]It is by far one of the most touching and heartbreaking segments

[12:05]in dua Hamza.

[12:09]If you want to hear it, the im says imagine the scene.

[12:24]Imagine that right now we are living the day of judgment and

[12:27]this is happening to us.

[12:32]My God, if you were to chain me on that day, Allah

[12:34]commands his angels to put chains on you and me, to put

[12:40]chains on us, to tie us with chains, and you deprive me

[12:50]of your grants on that day in the presence of the witnesses.

[13:00]and you expose me on that day.

[13:06]You reveal my indecent and awful traits.

[13:10]You reveal my indecent and awful actions and you command me to

[13:22]enter hellfire or you command the angels or your vice germs to

[13:26]throw me into hellfire and you create a barrier that lies between

[13:36]me and your rightous ious servants as in you show me that

[13:45]you will not dwell in heaven with Muhammaduam.

[13:51]>> You will not dwell in heaven with the prophets with the

[13:56]closers of God the believers.

[14:01]What will happen?

[14:04]What do you want to tell allahel?

[14:08]If all of these events or occurrences take place, he says, if

[14:12]the day judgment arrives and you chain me, you deprive me of

[14:15]your grants in the presence of the witnesses, you command that I

[14:22]be placed in hellfire and you create a barrier that lies between

[14:27]me and your close slaves.

[14:31]And on top of that, you expose me.

[14:35]You reveal my indecent traits and my indecent deeds to the people.

[14:38]If all of this happens, ya Allah, if all of this happens,

[14:47]I will still have hope that you will bestow mercy upon me.

[14:57]And I will still have hope that you will bring down forgiveness,

[15:04]that you will bring down pardon upon me.

[15:09]and your love will not exit my heart.

[15:12]Meaning I will continue to love you.

[15:14]Which reminds us of the segment that we recited at the start

[15:20]of the lecture today and we recited yesterday as well.

[15:22]But why?

[15:24]If Allah has sentenced me to hellfire, why should I still have

[15:29]hope in him?

[15:28]Subhan wa ta'ala because he is allahel.

[15:31]He is the all merciful.

[15:35]He is he is the best of those who conceal the slaves.

[15:41]The Imam tells me in you why he says, "Oh Allah, I

[15:58]do not forget the blessings that you bestowed upon me when I

[16:03]was in." Each one of us, my friends, is showered.

[16:06]And I really mean showered by blessings from Allah subhanahu wa tala.

[16:13]Allah tala showers each individual with countless blessings.

[16:19]The Quran says if you were to count the blessings of God,

[16:23]they will not come to an end.

[16:25]And I do not forget the fact that when I was in

[16:33]you would conceal me.

[16:37]You would not expose me.

[16:38]Those two deeds that stem from Allah showering the human being with

[16:43]blessings and concealing the defaults, the defects of the human being, concealing

[16:49]his sins indicate that Allah is what?

[16:53]that Allah tala is and if we understand this we'll know that

[17:00]one can never lose hope in in he who is the most

[17:09]merciful out of those who are merciful hence have shed light on

[17:14]multiple scenes not just one scene multiple scenes many scenes that will

[17:18]take place on the day of judgment which tell you a lot

[17:24]about Allah's mercy Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[17:26]Let me conclude today's English lecture with one sin and tomorrow inshallah

[17:31]we'll continue with dua abs.

[17:31]Of course we have an Arabic lecture after the English lecture inshallah.

[17:35]The imam inform us of what?

[17:40]Of multiple scenes that will take place on that day which reveal

[17:43]the impeccable and outstanding mercy of Allah.

[17:47]But bear in mind my brothers and sisters, his mercy should not

[17:51]be taken for granted.

[17:55]When I hear verses or narrations that tell me how merciful Allah

[17:59]subhanahu wa ta'ala is, I should use these verses or narrations to

[18:04]instill hope in my heart.

[18:06]But I should not fool myself into believing that even if I

[18:14]misbehave day and night, I will succeed in the hereafter.

[18:17]This is what we call meaning you feel safe from Allah's punishment

[18:22]and that is one of the greatest sins that one may commit.

[18:29]Think of the following.

[18:31]There were people in the past who committed great deeds but they

[18:35]ended up being destroyed.

[18:39]They were led to their doom.

[18:40]Why?

[18:41]Because they deviated.

[18:43]Shaitan is a clear example right?

[18:49]What was Shaitan?

[18:47]He was a jin and still is a but he was amongst

[18:53]the angels.

[18:52]He would worship Allah with the angels.

[18:55]Today what is he?

[18:59]A shaitan a devil.

[19:02]On the day of judgment where does he go?

[19:05]To heaven goes to hellfire.

[19:06]He deviated.

[19:06]And so a person should not take Allah's mercy for granted.

[19:11]The narration says as you can find in the book in the

[19:17]book for Hussein was one of the companions of our imams.

[19:23]The narration is by Abdah.

[19:26]He says or he's not to have said on the day of

[19:37]judgment a slave of God will be brought forth and this individual

[19:40]will not have one single good deed.

[19:43]Meaning he will not have one single good deed recorded in his

[19:50]book or one single good deed that is left for him.

[19:53]He says He will be told try to remember did you perform

[20:05]a good deed meaning did you perform a good deed when you

[20:09]were in a duny now obviously Allah knows subhana wa tala but

[20:13]Allah wants him to remember and wants him to mention his good

[20:17]deed you can also read it in the following He says, "My

[20:32]Lord, I did not commit a good deed.

[20:35]I cannot think of any good deeds other than one good deed.

[20:40]When one day your servant fan, who was a believer, came by

[20:48]me and he asked me for water.

[20:50]He wanted the water to perform.

[20:56]He wanted the water to perform the do so he will pray

[21:00]and so I gave him the water.

[21:01]That is the good deed that I remember at the moment.

[21:07]The tradition says Allah will say bring my slave into heaven because

[21:20]of what?

[21:22]Because of that one good deed which he performed.

[21:27]Now, one might misuse this motivation and he might say this means

[21:33]we're allowed to misbehave as much as we want and as long

[21:35]as we perform one good deed, we'll be saved.

[21:37]No, that's not the message that the imams want to give.

[21:40]Whenever we read a narration from we to understand the goal behind

[21:46]the narration, the goal is not to give us the green light

[21:49]to sing.

[21:50]The goal is to tell us that each good deed is marvelous

[21:53]in the eyes of Allah subhana wa tala.

[21:55]Even if we believe that the good deed is small or is

[22:01]minute.

[22:02]Secondly, the goal behind this narration is to instill hope in your

[22:08]heart.

[22:09]The God who might bring one of his slaves into heaven because

[22:17]he committed one good deed is a merciful in fact extremely merciful

[22:21]God.

[22:22]Hence, one should not lose hope in him.

[22:26]Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[22:25]One question remains and I'll quickly answer it before we go to

[22:30]the Arabic lecture.

[22:29]One might say, "But how could this be?

[22:32]This person, it seems that this person mentioned in the narration did

[22:38]not commit any good deeds other than the good deed that was

[22:42]mentioned.

[22:43]And we know that salat is there's a bunch of that a

[22:50]person should perform to be saved on the day of judgment.

[22:52]Then again there's a list of muharamat a list of bads that

[22:58]we should avoid to be saved.

[22:58]So how can we accept this narration?

[23:00]I'm going to give you one interpretation that will help you absorb

[23:05]the narration.

[23:07]Inshallah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[23:08]When I'm mentioning this interpretation I need to tell you that this

[23:12]is a possibility.

[23:14]Perhaps this is what will take place.

[23:17]Hence the iman mentioned whatever you just heard on the day of

[23:22]judgment.

[23:23]Prince, people will be judged by allahel and Allah tala will give

[23:29]the rights will retrieve the rights of the oppressed from what?

[23:34]From their oppressors.

[23:35]Sometimes you are a person who's a well-wisher and you do lots

[23:41]of good deeds but at the same time you oppress many people.

[23:43]As a result on the day of judgment you have to give

[23:48]them their rights.

[23:48]How can I give people their rights on the day of judgment?

[23:55]Rights are given through good deeds.

[23:58]Hence perhaps this person that the narration is talking about had many

[24:02]good deeds but he lost all of them through the injustice that

[24:08]he had committed in meaning he had to give this to other

[24:11]human beings and at the end there was only one hass left.

[24:17]But that hass was enough to bring him into heaven.

[24:20]We ask allahel to make us from those who are saved in

[24:25]the hereafter and were placed in the highest stations of heaven with

[24:32]Muhammad.

[24:30]Muhammad was Muhammad Muhammad.
