[0:00]Amen.

[0:08]Alhamdulillah.

[0:36]Brothers and sisters, may Allah tala accept all the deeds that you

[0:46]have performed or you shall perform in the holy month of Ramadan.

[0:58]In our last lecture regarding dua, we shed light on multiple passages

[1:09]in this beautiful dua that was composed and presented by im.

[1:16]Passages that truly instill hope in the heart.

[1:22]passages that teach us a believer's love for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[1:29]should be unconditional and phenomenal love.

[1:34]Love that is constant.

[1:35]For we hear the imam in dua saying to Allah, if you

[1:49]place me in hellfire, oh Allah, on the day of judgment, then

[1:56]I will inform the inhabitants of hellfire that I love you.

[2:00]And we shed light as well on another passage where the Imam

[2:06]Alisam teaches us not to lose hope in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[2:09]not to lose hope in attaining Allah's mercy or forgiveness even if

[2:15]Allah ta'ala commands the human being to enter hellfire on the day

[2:22]of judgment or he commands his angels or vice jam to place

[2:27]that disobedient slave in jahannam why because Allah tala is the all

[2:33]merciful even after sentencing someone to jahanam perhaps Allahel will at some

[2:43]point bestow mercy upon him, forgive him and lead him back into

[2:48]heaven.

[2:49]Allah tala is he is the loving God who showers his servants

[2:58]with blessings.

[3:00]Hence if someone actually paid attention to the treatment that Allah ta'ala

[3:06]shows the human being and paid attention to the amount of blessings

[3:10]the abundant amount of blessings that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bestows upon

[3:17]each and every one of us he will fall in love with

[3:19]Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and that love obviously will lead him or should

[3:27]lead him to God's obedience at the end of the day True

[3:30]love will lead a person to obeying the one whom he loves.

[3:37]The Imat expresses his love to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in dua

[3:45]through various forms of expression.

[3:52]But as he's doing so the imatam gives us what?

[3:58]vital lessons pertaining to beliefs or practices or morals or other topics.

[4:03]At the end of the day, the Imam is an imam and

[4:07]every word that is said by the Imam, every action that is

[4:10]done by the Imam brings a lesson.

[4:16]Every word said by the im and every action performed by the

[4:20]imam presents a lesson to mankind.

[4:26]the lesson that benefits them in one way or another.

[4:29]He says in dua as we move to another passage my master

[4:41]lives in fact my heart lived through your remembrance.

[4:47]This is a passage that once again manifests the love that Imad

[4:56]has for Allah.

[4:56]But at the same time, it's a passage that teaches us a

[5:03]vital lesson.

[5:02]My friends, my brothers and sisters, will grant a person spiritual life.

[5:09]Is what?

[5:11]Remembering Allah.

[5:13]You can remember allahel verbally by saying for example subhan Allah alhamdulillah

[5:19]and similar words.

[5:20]You can remember Allah ta'ala through your heart through your mind or

[5:28]spirit by being mindful of Allah and remembering his traits.

[5:32]You can remember allahel when you're tested through halal and haram and

[5:36]you remember the command of Allah subhana wa ta'ala.

[5:41]All of these are what?

[5:41]Forms of forms of God's remembrance.

[5:45]The imam says which means that the soul of the human being

[5:50]will continue to live so long that the human being remembers his

[5:57]lord.

[5:58]The remedy of allahel is the fuel that we need to keep

[6:07]the flame of belief ignited in our hearts.

[6:08]Every flame or fire is need of what?

[6:14]Is in need of fuel.

[6:14]Your belief is in need of fuel or say the flame of

[6:18]your belief is in need of fuel.

[6:19]And that fuel is what subhanahala it keeps a person's belief alive.

[6:29]And when a person's belief is alive, his heart meaning his soul

[6:34]will remain alive.

[6:34]Hence allahel tells us in the Quran that the message of does

[6:41]what?

[6:42]It revives the human being or say gives the human being life.

[6:48]Allah says subhanahu wa ta'ala in the holy Quran verse 24 he

[7:05]says you who believe answer the call of Allah and his messenger

[7:15]when when He calls you to accept that which will give you

[7:23]life.

[7:24]Now when you go into the world of you realize that presented

[7:29]various interpretations regarding the word which means what is Allah talking about

[7:36]when he says when the prophet when the messenger calls you to

[7:41]that which gives you life.

[7:42]What is the Quran talking about?

[7:46]We have multiple interpretations and we realize that all of these interpretations

[7:52]do not contradict one another and that turns these interpretations go hand

[8:00]in hand.

[7:58]One interpretation says the word refers to Quran and religious knowledge.

[8:08]The Quran is a book of life, a book that will truly

[8:12]turn the human being into an actual human being.

[8:16]There are people who look like humans.

[8:19]You look at their physical forms, you see a human being, but

[8:26]in reality, they are animals in disguise or they are devils in

[8:30]disguise.

[8:31]The true human being is the one who submits to his lord

[8:34]subhanahu wa ta'ala and beautifies himself with what?

[8:39]With good morals.

[8:39]Beautifies himself with good morals and removes vices and defects from his

[8:45]own character.

[8:47]When we find a person for example who looks like a human,

[8:50]we say he's a son of Adam.

[8:53]But that person is vicious.

[8:57]He has no morals.

[8:57]He has absolutely no mercy towards anyone.

[9:01]That person is not a human being.

[9:03]He looks like a human asam.

[9:08]The physical appearance is that of the human being.

[9:11]But the is what?

[9:14]The heart is what?

[9:16]But the heart, the soul of that individual is the soul of

[9:21]an animal or say the soul of a devil.

[9:26]And Quran changes the hearts.

[9:27]It has the power to do what?

[9:30]To change the human being.

[9:31]As I Ali says, it will change.

[9:35]Even the disbeliever.

[9:35]The disbeliever, the hypocrite, the polytheist will turn into an into a

[9:45]good human being while reading the Quran and obviously answering the call

[9:51]of Quran.

[9:50]Hence himself saysam that al Quran is what it is the spring

[9:59]of the hearts meaning gives life to the heart the soul of

[10:04]the human being.

[10:03]So one says when the ayah says the word refers to and

[10:12]religious knowledge a second the second interpretation says the word refers to

[10:16]heaven heaven.

[10:19]Why?

[10:21]Because ultimately when the human being enters heaven, he will be granted

[10:27]eternal life and he will dwell in eternal mercy and happiness.

[10:33]Now the question is what leads to heaven?

[10:36]The path of Allah the path of the message of Allaham.

[10:42]So in order to enter heaven I must accept the message of

[10:49]a third interpretation which is supported by a hadith in fact multiple

[11:01]narrations from our imams says the word refers to believing in the

[11:09]guardianship and authority of in the author cites in you'll find a

[11:30]tradition by by a man called he says I asked about the

[11:46]following verse.

[11:52]He asked him about the verse that we are currently talking about.

[11:57]When Allah tells us, "Oh you who believe, answer the call of

[12:00]Allah and the messenger when he calls you to towards that which

[12:08]will give you life." He said, He said this verse descended as

[12:20]it was talking about believing in the guardianship and authority of and

[12:26]that makes perfect sense because when you believe in the guardianship and

[12:30]authority of what will happen you will adhere to the essential Islam

[12:40]the real Islam that wasallam presented to mankind.

[12:48]But when you exclude from Islam, when you take out of Islam,

[12:55]you take out of Islam, then you will not be following the

[13:00]real Islam, the essential Islam that presented.

[13:05]On top of that, little by little, the true teachings of Islam

[13:12]will be changed.

[13:13]And I'll give you a very clear example in this regard.

[13:19]You find Muslims when you look in Islamic history.

[13:20]You look into Islamic history or you look at you know the

[13:24]state of the Muslim today.

[13:24]You find Muslims.

[13:27]We're talking about Muslims not non-Muslims.

[13:28]Muslims who will tell you Allah tala has a physical form.

[13:32]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala descends on the evil Friday on a lumping

[13:36]donkey and he says is there anyone who will seek forgiveness?

[13:41]Who said this?

[13:44]someone who was called a Muslim.

[13:46]Why did he say it?

[13:47]Because he distanced himself and or others from Ali from Al Hassan

[13:55]Al Hussein and the rest of the of the members of B.

[14:01]When you distance yourself, when you detach from you will reach such

[14:07]conclusions and such outcomes.

[14:07]But when you adhere to bed will lead you to your lord.

[14:16]They will guide you and I they will guide everyone to the

[14:19]real god in existence.

[14:22]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[14:23]That god who is beyond imagination.

[14:26]Look at howatam describe Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[14:30]You'll find that they give him the flawless description.

[14:35]Take a look for example at the word of when she says

[14:45]about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he is the one that the eyes

[14:55]cannot see the eyes cannot look at Allah or see Allah why

[15:00]not because he's hiding somewhere in outer space rather because he's not

[15:06]physically He's not limited subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[15:07]And so the eyes cannot gaze at the creator.

[15:10]They can gaze at the signs of Allah.

[15:19]Meaning our tongues are unable to truly describe Allah.

[15:26]One might say, "Oh lady of light," but you're describing him, right?

[15:31]She's describing him.

[15:34]Subhanah wa ta'ala.

[15:34]Sheat wasam is describing Allah.

[15:36]How can she say she's saying this to tell you and I

[15:47]that whatever description we give to Allahawel that description will be inferior

[15:54]to his reality.

[15:56]Whatever description we give to God is inferior to who he truly

[16:03]is.

[16:04]Hence we're told in fact we're taught by the prophet and to

[16:10]do continuously Allahbarb he's greater than what means Allah is greater greater

[16:23]than what im says he is greater than to be described so

[16:27]whatever description you give to allahel know that your description is inferior

[16:33]to his reality.

[16:36]Yes, believing in the of will make a person will keep a

[16:44]person attached to the essential Islam that was taught by and so

[16:53]after hearing these interpretations regarding the word regarding the word in the

[17:02]verse We understand that ultimately the message of Islam, the message of

[17:13]leads the human being to what?

[17:19]To spiritual life.

[17:19]When a person accepts the message of Allah sallallahu alaihi believes in

[17:25]it and implements it, that person's soul will be alive.

[17:33]Whereas when one rejects the message of Sai wasallam his soul will

[17:40]buy.

[17:38]Secondly we understand that the message of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam will

[17:44]lead humanity to various forms of life not only spiritual life.

[17:52]It will lead humanity if humanity accepts the message of Allah sallallahu

[17:58]alaihi wasallam to life in various fields.

[18:04]Political life, economical life, social life in general.

[18:07]People will be led to a good life and a life of

[18:19]prosperity.

[18:17]The problem is what people choose to reject the message of Allah

[18:25]and the message of when you look at our circumstances today or

[18:32]you look at the past you find that many people do not

[18:37]want or did not want the path of truth.

[18:41]Although it is the path which will lead them where which will

[18:44]lead them to salvation.

[18:46]It is the path that will lead them to a good type

[18:48]of life.

[18:51]A life of prosperity, comfort and happiness.

[18:56]Look at what Quraysh did when began proping the message.

[19:05]How they exerted much effort to fight and to hurt him.

[19:11]Although he was calling them towards what?

[19:14]Towards what they need.

[19:14]He was the the compassionate doctor who is bringing people the medicine

[19:20]they need.

[19:22]Imam Aliam has a beautiful word and all these words are beautiful

[19:25]where he describes saying he is the doctor that moves from one

[19:32]place to another going to the sick patients.

[19:35]Usually the sick patient comes to the doctor right?

[19:39]The prophet is that doctor who would go to the people sallallahu

[19:42]alaihi wasallam.

[19:43]He would go to the sick patients in order to to heal

[19:46]them.

[19:47]Even then Quraysh refused to accept his message and on top of

[19:55]that they made sure to instill as much pain as they could

[19:58]in the heart of Allah sallallam.

[20:01]I'll conclude the lecture before we go to the Arabic lecture with

[20:08]one point.

[20:06]One of the stances, one of the broad stances that they took

[20:16]against Sai wasallam was boycotting his wife Khadijaham.

[20:21]Say Khadijah who was the first lady who announced her Islam.

[20:27]She was the one of the greatest female supporters of Sallallahu Alaihi

[20:36]Wasallam.

[20:34]As a result, she had to pay the price.

[20:38]The narration of says what?

[20:43]It says the women of Quraysh boycotted.

[20:46]Hence, they would not visit her and they would not salute her

[20:52]with salam and they would not allow any lady to enter upon

[20:54]her.

[20:56]Now, you know, talking about this is quite simple or easy.

[21:00]But living it is a different story.

[21:03]When your society boycots you and no one is willing to deal

[21:07]with you, no one is willing to say hello oralamlaykum, no one

[21:13]is willing to visit you.

[21:17]That's hard.

[21:14]That's difficult.

[21:18]Say that such that when it was time for her to give

[21:21]birth to the lady of light, she sent the women of Quray

[21:31]a message telling them come and help me in my delivery.

[21:34]And so they refused.

[21:38]They refused.

[21:37]They refused to help her.

[21:41]And they refused to allow any lady like for example to enter

[21:46]uponad.

[21:49]And so Allah tala compensated khadisha.

[21:52]You see when someone when someone remembers Allah when a person remembers

[22:00]Allah when a person follows the path of Allah Allah will not

[22:04]abandon him.

[22:06]Allah will help him, aid him, support him and compensate him.

[22:10]Is one of the greatest believers in existence.

[22:14]Allah sees that she's going through a lot of difficulty.

[22:19]So Allah tala compensates her.

[22:22]Before the delivery, a special someone starts to speak to Khadijah.

[22:27]Who's that someone?

[22:30]The lady of light.

[22:31]When a Fatima speaks to her as she's inside her own mother

[22:37]enters upon Khadijah one day and hears Khadijah talking to someone but

[22:42]apparently no one is there and so he tells Khadijaham who are

[22:45]you speaking with and she tells him that the Janine the fus

[22:51]that is inside of me speaks to me and it keeps me

[22:53]company Z would speak to Khadijah this was one of her miracles

[22:59]she would speak to Khadijah when she was inside of Khadijah and

[23:04]she would help her remain patient.

[23:07]And so the prophet gave Khadijah the great news that Allah will

[23:13]bless them with a daughter and that this daughter will be pure

[23:18]and blessed that the offspring of Allah will come from Zah and

[23:23]from her from her offspring there will be imams.

[23:28]Imams who will be the califfs of Allah on earth after us.

[23:39]>> On the other hand when it was time for her to

[23:46]deliver Allah as you may know sent her four women who were

[23:50]part of the greatest women created by God.

[23:56]S the wife of Ibraim and Kam the sister of Musa Salami.

[24:02]There's a lesson here for all of us.

[24:04]When you remember Allah and you adhere to the message of Allah

[24:11]subhana wa ta'ala, Allah tala will not abandon you.

[24:13]Tomorrow inshallah will continue with dua.

[24:16]Alhamdulillah.
