[0:26]alhamdulillah Musta muham [Music] illuminate your malalis and your hearts with a

[0:49]loud salawat from Muhammad muhamad respected brothers and sisters we mentioned last

[1:05]night that in the same way our bodies can get sick can

[1:10]be afflicted with viruses diseases and sicknesses the souls that Allah subhah

[1:17]wa ta'ala has given us our soul our spirit our heart as

[1:22]the Quran calls the soul can also be afflicted with disease and

[1:26]illnesses and Allah subhah wa ta'ala mentions this in various verses in

[1:33]the Quran we mentioned some of them the first example that we

[1:37]went over that the Quran highlights and mentions a particular type of

[1:43]spiritual disease and sickness when our hearts our souls become sick was

[1:50]the example of hypocrisy nfak and we said that hypocrisy can come

[1:57]in three different forms hypocrisy in belief hypocrisy in oured deeds and

[2:00]hypocrisy in our conduct and we spoke about that Allah considers this

[2:07]as a spiritual disorder because it is similar to bipolar disease how

[2:12]you have two faces you have two personalities a hypocrite Has Two

[2:19]Faces and two personalities and that's why it is considered as a

[2:24]disorder but a spiritual disorder a disorder that afflicts the soul the

[2:29]heart rather than the body and the mind let's continue and mention

[2:37]some more examples that the Quran mentions of how the soul can

[2:41]become struck with disease Afflicted with disease how the heart can become

[2:45]sick so we can be careful and take our precautionary measures not

[2:50]to be afflicted by these diseases the second example is Allah subhanahu

[2:55]wa ta'ala in the Holy Quran he mentions it in verse 32

[3:04]in this verse Allah mentions some of theam of hijab of modesty

[3:13]the goal of the physical hijab is to promote modesty between the

[3:18]opposite genders between a man and a woman and that's why the

[3:25]word hijab if you ever look you want to search for hijab

[3:28]in the Quran you may not find in the way that you

[3:32]want because hijab in Arabic means barrier it doesn't mean the scarf

[3:36]that sisters wear hijab means barrier that's why we see in Du

[3:42]abam IM says that sometimes there is a hijab between us and

[3:48]Allah and th that hijab is our sins it is a barrier

[3:57]between us and Allah so hijab just means barrier you're just creating

[4:04]some room between the opposite genders to promote modesty so Allah mentions

[4:10]the laws of hijab in the Quran and he shows us that

[4:13]there's two types of hijab the first is the physical hijab and

[4:19]this is the hijab that we usually understand that's the physical cover

[4:25]the Allah asael orders Muslim woman to maintain the dress code Allah

[4:32]mentions this in and tell the believing woman to lower their gaze

[4:45]and guard their Chastity and then the Quran says Allah says two

[5:00]things regarding the physical hijab tell the believing woman number one to

[5:06]not show their beauty they have to conceal their beauty from men

[5:10]that are not Maham Maham is your father your son your brother

[5:16]your uncle nephew grandfather if it's not that and it's a male

[5:20]a woman has to conceal her beauty she has to conceal her

[5:26]body from all men but the Quran makes one exception they have

[5:35]to cover the entire body except the apparent the apparent Beauty now

[5:42]what is the apparent Beauty this is amongst the allegorical and ambiguous

[5:48]verses meaning the Quran doesn't make it clear anytime the Quran does

[5:52]not make something clear and it's vague and it can be subject

[5:57]to interpretation what do we do the Quran teaches us we have

[6:00]have to go back to as the verse in mentions and when

[6:08]we go back to the tell us that the entire body of

[6:13]a woman Muslim woman has to be covered except the face and

[6:16]the hands because that is the apparent the apparent Beauty so that's

[6:21]one part of this verse that's the physical hijab and then right

[6:26]after that Allah mentions the scarf the head the Veil and then

[6:32]they have to wear the is this hijab that we call hijab

[6:36]means barrier if you're looking for the word that matches the head

[6:44]scarf it's and Allah mentions that and they have to make sure

[6:47]that they wear their that they wear their all the way to

[6:53]their chest they have to bring it close to their head and

[6:58]over their chest so Allah mentions the physical hijab in this verse

[7:04]but hijab brothers and sisters is not just the physical aspect that's

[7:13]only half of hijab there's also the social hijab what do we

[7:18]mean social hijab how someone conducts themselves my behavior my speech the

[7:27]way I talk my tone how I I speak to others and

[7:32]how I walk my all my behavior this has to always be

[7:38]modest in front of the opposite gender and this second aspect of

[7:45]hijab the social hijab does not pertain to woman only woman and

[7:50]men Allah Asel says that you have to be modest in your

[7:54]dressing you have to be modest in your dress and in your

[7:59]conduct that's why when Allah begins to speak about the laws of

[8:02]hijab he begins with men Allah says tell the Believers to lower

[8:10]their gaze when you see something that is inappropriate you have to

[8:13]lower your head you have to lower your gaze do not look

[8:15]this is a part of hijab yes this is a part of

[8:20]modesty and Allah mentions the same thing for sisters for woman but

[8:27]in addition there is the physical hijab now in this verse that

[8:38]I mentioned verse 32 Allah mentions one of theam one of the

[8:43]laws of the social hijab meaning our Behavior Allah says Allah addresses

[8:57]the wives of the Prophet sallallahu alai he tells them oh wives

[9:02]of of the messenger of the Prophet you are not like other

[9:11]woman you hold a very high and prominent position you're the wives

[9:16]of the prophet of Allah so then Allah tells them what they

[9:20]have to do Allah tells them if you fear Allah then you

[9:33]have to be mindful of your tone in front of other men

[9:38]and Allah gives them an explicit commandment Allah says do not soften

[9:45]your voice in front of men you see sometimes a woman is

[9:55]able to soften her voice in a way that is tempting to

[10:02]the opposite gender remember once a brother told me he was telling

[10:06]me we were having this discussion on hijab and the social hijab

[10:09]and he said my sister he was talking about his sister when

[10:17]she speaks to random other men her voice is so soft sounds

[10:25]like a squirrel like a chipmunk sometimes but when she talks to

[10:29]me at home she sounds like a bear or when she talks

[10:33]to my father and mother what's going on Sometimes some sisters unconsciously

[10:39]do that where the voice softens but not in a modest way

[10:46]in an immodest way the Quran says beware of even your tone

[10:52]when you speak to other men now someone may say why what's

[10:55]a big deal right just my voice what damage can it do

[11:00]wrong Allah tells you to be what to be realistic Allah says

[11:15]Allah says maybe you don't have any bad intentions when you soften

[11:23]your voice in front of men but Allah says but know that

[11:25]amongst men in general in the world there are some who in

[11:32]their hearts there is sickness their hearts are sick their hearts are

[11:38]afflicted with disease so maybe you don't mean anything from that soft

[11:42]voice you're not trying to Signal anything but that individual because of

[11:47]that sickness of the heart of the Soul they will get the

[11:53]wrong message they will misinterpret that soft voice oh her voice is

[11:56]soft that means she's probably sending me a message Maybe she wants

[12:01]to go out with me and no it's something completely normal that

[12:04]the sister is doing so Allah subhana wa tala says be extra

[12:07]sensitive because you may have good intentions but not everyone is like

[12:15]you not everyone has good intentions and what's interesting brothers and sisters

[12:21]about this verse is Allah subhana waala considers those men that cannot

[12:29]control their desire their intimate desire those men that cannot lower their

[12:35]gaze that cannot look the other way that cannot control their desire

[12:39]and discipline themselves Allah considers these individuals as being diseased their hearts

[12:47]are diseased let's say a woman did something wrong she wore inappropriate

[12:58]and immodestly she spoke in an immodest way Allah obviously will hold

[13:06]that person accountable but Allah says that you as a man have

[13:10]a responsibility to what to do tell yourself no look the other

[13:17]way if you don't if you cannot control that desire the Quran

[13:21]says then there is sickness and disease in your in your soul

[13:25]in your heart the one who is tempted by the soft voice

[13:36]and not just tempted but also act upon you see being tempted

[13:39]is one thing the human being has natural Temptations and that's fine

[13:45]but following those Temptations and acting on those Temptations is where Allah

[13:53]subhana T draws the line Allah says I give you intellect Allah

[13:56]subhana wa tala says I give you free will where where's J

[14:00]where's the resistance that you're able to do patience and resistance so

[14:07]Allah subhana T says if someone is not able to resist when

[14:10]they see something they just have to stare this person in their

[14:16]heart there is a disease it's a sickness when they hear they're

[14:19]walking and all of a sudden they hear a soft voice of

[14:22]a sister they have to right away look to the side see

[14:24]what is it the Quran says you have a problem in your

[14:28]heart and soul you you have to discipline yourself you have to

[14:35]seek treatment in order to be able to control this desire so

[14:40]this is another example that Allah subhanahu waala mentions in the Holy

[14:45]Quran of a type of disease that can afflict the soul and

[14:52]unfortunately now you see it so persuasive and rampant in society that

[14:56]there's no such thing as lowering your gaze anymore if you find

[15:03]someone that lowers their gaze in front of the opposite gender you

[15:07]find that first of all it's rare and if you do do

[15:12]see someone like that people will even be confused why doesn't he

[15:18]look why doesn't he look at that person in their eyes when

[15:21]he speaks to them or when she speaks to him what's the

[15:27]issue because it's become so rare that we do not even even

[15:30]understand the value of this virtue anymore that Allah orders men and

[15:37]women when you walk lower your gaze when you see something inappropriate

[15:41]lower your gaze they're doing something Haram maybe they're doing it intentionally

[15:45]unintentionally I don't care my responsibility is to lower my gaze my

[15:51]responsibility is to look the other side that's why the famous Hadith

[15:56]it's mentioned by The Prophet by more than one IM the first

[16:00]luck the first look is for you meaning it's okay Allah will

[16:04]forgive you because the first look you may not know what's there

[16:09]but the second look is against you so let's say you're just

[16:12]looking and then you see something what happens you see it once

[16:17]but then you go back you quickly turn your head again that

[16:20]second turn is where Allah will hold you so the first one

[16:26]you didn't know what was there so that's fine move your head

[16:29]don't look again if you do look again then Allah says then

[16:37]you have a problem in your heart you have a disorder a

[16:39]sickness and because of this disorder you can't help but look so

[16:45]this is the second example of sickness of the soul that Allah

[16:51]mentions in the Holy Quran third example of sickness of the heart

[17:03]and the soul that Allah highlights in the Holy Quran is when

[17:08]we human beings lose our moral compass when our moral compass breaks

[17:13]the Quran considers this as a disorder but it's a spiritual disorder

[17:20]it's a disorder that afflicts the soul the r the heart the

[17:28]Quran says there are some individuals their moral compass breaks and because

[17:44]it breaks they start seeing evil as good and good as evil

[17:53]they're not just doing evil because they don't care I don't care

[17:58]about being evil no they do do evil thinking they really think

[18:03]that they're doing something good and they will refrain some from something

[18:09]that is good thinking that it's evil this the Quran says is

[18:15]a disease of the heart it's a spiritual disorder it's similar to

[18:22]schizophrenia why because you live in a delusional world where you can't

[18:26]see the reality of things good things are bad and bad things

[18:31]are good let me give you a couple examples and there's so

[18:34]many examples today in society and every year we're seeing newer examples

[18:39]of how this disorder this spiritual disorder is becoming worse and worse

[18:47]and more rapid same gender attraction homosexuality if someone a human being

[18:58]is attracted Ed to the same gender what do we call this

[19:05]this in reality is a disorder it's a psychological disorder and by

[19:11]the way it was considered a psychological disorder until a couple of

[19:18]decades ago when the the lobbyists the gay movement lobbyists they pressured

[19:26]the world of psychology ology and and pssy psychiatry in order to

[19:34]remove it from disord so it's no longer an abnormal something abnormal

[19:38]it's no longer a disorder but being attracted to the same gender

[19:44]is a disorder it's a psychological disorder it's a mental disorder that

[19:51]means there's a problem in my body in my mind I'm not

[19:56]supposed to by Design I'm not supposed to be attracted to the

[20:01]same gender now usually what you'll hear today is well what if

[20:06]someone is born with that desire they're attracted to the same gender

[20:10]so what that does not mean it's no longer a disorder some

[20:13]people are born with disorders there's hundreds of disorders that everybody accepts

[20:21]they are disorders but you'll find children are born with it does

[20:25]that mean if you're born with something it's not a disorder no

[20:30]I never chose to be attracted I never chose to be gay

[20:34]okay you never chose that but that does not mean it's not

[20:38]a disorder people who are born disabled never chose to be disabled

[20:40]but they're still disabled there are people who have all these weird

[20:45]types of disorders and they're born with it does that mean it's

[20:48]not a disorder no being born with something or it develops later

[20:58]has nothing to do with it being normal or it being a

[21:02]disorder or else if the rule and the standard is whatever you

[21:08]are born with is okay it's normal it's moral then why do

[21:14]we find that our society stigmatizes pedophiles there are some people with

[21:20]this specific attraction towards children they're called pedophiles right why are they

[21:26]stigmatized I was born with it I never chose to be attracted

[21:33]to Children why are they stigmatized why is that seen as being

[21:36]immoral why there's no answer it all goes back to our desire

[21:38]whatever we like is a disorder and whatever we don't want to

[21:44]consider as a disorder is not a disorder you'll even find when

[21:47]you read about disorders there's a disorder called masochism and that's when

[21:53]someone loves being humiliated and pain through that intimate desire this is

[22:00]considered as a disorder they put it under the different why well

[22:04]I was born with loving humiliation and pain what's a problem with

[22:08]that just being born with a inclination with a desire does not

[22:15]make it normal brothers and sisters this is the biggest fallacy that

[22:18]is used today I was born with it who am I hurting

[22:24]if you're hurting someone or you're not hurting someone that is not

[22:28]the definition [Music] rug and pretend as if these problems don't exist

[23:32]I get calls brothers and sisters from people in our community who

[23:38]tell me that I am struggling with this desire from parents who

[23:43]find out that their children are struggling from their it's not a

[23:47]surprise yes it's disappointing but it shouldn't be a surprise because it's

[23:51]become so pervasive why should I think that our community is immune

[23:58]to this no our community lives in this country just like all

[24:05]other communities and definitely these immoral and liberal ideals and ideologies they

[24:13]will start penetrating even our own communities so we have to protect

[24:16]ourselves we have to protect ourselves physically morally and spiritually if someone

[24:26]has that urge meaning they find themselves attracted to the same desire

[24:31]what does that mean is that a sin listen carefully please do

[24:39]not distort my words and do not take them out of context

[24:42]let me finish the entire paragraph then you can start objecting if

[24:48]someone has these urges is that a sin does that mean Allah

[24:55]hate them Allah hates them absolutely not if someone feels that they

[25:00]are attracted to the same gender you know what that means it

[25:03]means they have a disorder just like pedophile just like masochism and

[25:09]all hundreds of other disorders this is a disorder that Allah has

[25:15]Afflicted with and it doesn't mean that Allah hates me why because

[25:20]this is life this is D Allah is going to test me

[25:23]with so many different ways physical disorders physical diseases mental disorders there's

[25:30]all sorts of problems in this life so if someone finds that

[25:34]they have this urge what do they have to do they just

[25:40]have to practice J they have to fight this urge and resist

[25:43]it just like any other immoral urge that we have doesn't the

[25:54]Quran say that if you don't lower your gaze and if you

[25:57]are tempted by a woman's soft voice and you cannot look away

[26:02]you have a disease in your heart this is a disorder if

[26:05]someone is attracted to the same gender this is a disorder but

[26:10]that doesn't mean this person is evil doesn't mean this is a

[26:15]sin because it's just a feeling feelings cannot be described as Haram

[26:20]or Halal only acts can be described as Halal andam when does

[26:26]it become a sin when someone ask acts upon that feeling when

[26:32]the feeling is expressed and translated into action this is where Allah

[26:41]writes Halal and this is when it becomes a sin so on

[26:43]the day of judgment if Allah holds someone accountable for acting upon

[26:52]this feeling it's never an excuse to say well I just I

[26:55]had this urge so what I have an urge to Rob a

[26:59]bank I could just go rob a bank having an urge and

[27:04]a desire doesn't mean you have to follow it that means I'm

[27:06]an animal animals follow whatever desires that comes across their mind a

[27:11]human being has desires and has intellect and his intellect is supposed

[27:17]to teach him which desires to follow and which to say no

[27:22]when I see that basket being being carried maybe I have this

[27:25]desire just to put my hand and put in my pocket it's

[27:28]not my fault it's just a desire in my heart that means

[27:33]I can act upon whatever desire that I have I see someone

[27:35]driving an expensive car I have a desire to have that car

[27:40]let me just go steal it since one is having a desire

[27:44]an excuse so Allah will tell me you had the desire I

[27:46]tested you with it but you had Free Will and intellect you

[27:51]could have said no don't tell me you couldn't say no don't

[27:54]tell me that you were forced to do this no this is

[27:59]what life life is about it's about patience and J in so

[28:03]when someone acts upon this desire and urge this is when it

[28:10]becomes a sin now that's not the worst of it because when

[28:22]someone acts upon this desire or any bad desire any abnormal desire

[28:28]and they commit that sin they can always repent the door of

[28:33]repentance never closes Allah subh no matter how big my sin is

[28:43]no matter what I did I truly repent and I stop Allah

[28:45]will forgive me so acting upon that desire is a sin but

[28:49]it's not the end of the world because what because you can

[28:52]repent to Allah just like any other sin but do you know

[28:55]what is a travesty do you know what makes this a serious

[29:04]spiritual disease it's when I start to normalize this desire and think

[29:10]that it's okay it's not a disorder that's the problem the problem

[29:17]isn't with just having the desire and Ne and really it's it

[29:21]is a problem but it's not as big when someone acts upon

[29:26]it privately but knows that they're doing doing something wrong and they

[29:31]feel guilty about it and they wish to repent one day that

[29:38]is good that sense of guilt with every sin if there's guilt

[29:41]that will lead me to repent it's not a big deal it's

[29:45]a Haram it's a sin but there's a way out of it

[29:47]but the greatest sin or problem is when you commit the sin

[29:53]and you don't believe it's a sin and this is what the

[29:58]Quran says not only does he commit the evil act but he

[30:04]sees it as good he sees it at this is my right

[30:09]I have the right to act upon this desire I have the

[30:16]right to marry someone and this is normal moral and no one

[30:22]has the right to tell me otherwise this is a disease a

[30:28]disease that afflicts the heart and it's a very very difficult disease

[30:32]to get rid of because if you do not acknowledge your mistake

[30:36]if you do not acknowledge that it's wrong why would you ever

[30:40]repent why would you ever change and that's why brothers and sisters

[30:44]as a general law never stigmatize someone who is struggling with a

[30:50]sin no matter what that sin is as long as they accept

[30:54]it a sin and they're trying so they may not successfully be

[30:58]able to get rid of that said but as long as they're

[31:01]trying that's good we're human beings we make mistakes but we're supposed

[31:09]to repent so do not Stig stigmatize someone as long as they

[31:13]accept it a sin and it shouldn't be talked about and it's

[31:17]kept private and I'm trying to stop it because every single one

[31:22]of us commit sins who's a mum here who's a mum here

[31:24]nobody we all commit sins but we acknowledge that there sins and

[31:27]we try to rep the problem where we draw the line with

[31:30]these individuals is when they no longer acknowledge it's a sin and

[31:38]they want us to accept it no this is my Red Line

[31:43]This is where I'm sorry I cannot accept this anymore because now

[31:48]you're playing with morality you're trying to change the notion of Good

[31:56]and Evil and if people no longer acknowledge evil and good for

[31:59]what it is right and wrong then nothing makes sense in this

[32:02]world so this is one example of when the heart becomes diseased

[32:08]it's when you no longer acknowledge your sins when you long longer

[32:13]see evil for what it is another example from the same category

[32:18]is you can see right now the gender movement right transgender and

[32:23]people that are labeling themselves with all these different genders when a

[32:31]man a biological man feels like a woman is that bad what

[32:35]did we just say not necessarily it's a disorder a man feels

[32:40]like they're a woman that's a disorder there's something there's a imbalance

[32:46]somewhere in their body in their brain it's a disorder if a

[32:50]man feel like feels like a woman or a woman feels like

[32:52]a man it's a disorder when does it become a spiritual disease

[33:02]and problematic when you start lying to yourself and telling yourself that

[33:10]I am really a man and you're not a man I'm really

[33:12]a woman and you're not a woman and everybody has to accept

[33:18]that see the difference someone can feel all these different sorts of

[33:23]feelings I could feel like I'm a rabbit one day I can

[33:28]feel like I'm a car whatever who cares how you feel it's

[33:36]a disorder but when you consider that as normal and everybody has

[33:41]to accept it this is this is when it comes a spiritual

[33:45]disease because now you're playing with morality now you're playing with the

[33:52]laws of Allah because Allah has laws that are specific to gender

[33:58]and if you could easily just switch gender based on how you

[34:01]feel then that means the laws of Allah make no sense why

[34:03]did Allah tala give laws that are dependent on the gender if

[34:10]you can easily just change your gender or if you don't even

[34:13]believe in gender you don't have a gender or you create all

[34:17]these new genders last time I checked there was more than a

[34:20]hundred types of gender if it's just something imaginary in your brain

[34:23]who cares consider yourself whatever but when you act upon it this

[34:27]this is when it becomes problematic this is when it becomes a

[34:34]spiritual disorder you know I was reading about some unusual disorders that

[34:40]can afflict the human beings there's a disorder called The Walking Corpse

[34:45]Syndrome who's heard of that at least you come on weren paying

[34:50]attention met Walking Corpse Syndrome it has another more uh technical name

[34:58]this is a disorder when someone faces this disorder you know what

[35:06]happens to them they're like transgender people they think that they're dead

[35:12]they truly believe that they're dead but they're alive but they identify

[35:18]as being dead or sometimes they think it's I know some might

[35:21]be laughing but it's a real disorder and some of them really

[35:25]believe that they're not I mean it's not like they're trying to

[35:27]fool someone it's a disorder like schizophrenia they're dead they're alive but

[35:32]they think they're dead and you can't convince them otherwise because there's

[35:35]a problem mental disorder or they think they are missing some organs

[35:41]vital organs I've heard I've read some articles where someone goes to

[35:45]the doctor what's the problem I don't have a heart I'm missing

[35:47]a heart what do you mean you don't have a heart so

[35:51]doctors will dismiss it right away thinking this person is e either

[35:54]crazy or they're playing a joke but they have a disorder so

[35:56]they'll have to do an x-ray or whatever where they show them

[35:59]no no that's not my heart this is probably photoshopped right you

[36:01]can't convince them that they have a heart that they have a

[36:03]liver I don't have hands and the hands are there these are

[36:09]disorders brothers and sisters it doesn't mean that you're a bad person

[36:13]it doesn't mean that this is a sin it's a disorder but

[36:16]you have to try your best to acknowledge that this is a

[36:20]disorder do not submit to it if someone feels like they're not

[36:28]a man or not a woman woman meaning different than how biologically

[36:31]they were born that's a disorder it could be a test from

[36:36]Allah subhana tala but you have to fight that urge if you

[36:41]fight that urge as that disorder could elevate your status on the

[36:45]day of judgment the fact that you had these urges and these

[36:51]weird feelings and you thought you were a woman when you're a

[36:54]man but if you fight it and do Jad in that disorder

[36:57]could be the reason why Allah elevates your status on the day

[37:01]of judgment because Allah gave you a difficult test by afflicting you

[37:07]with that disorder but you had the patience and the resilience and

[37:11]the wisdom to say no to think with your intellect and to

[37:16]fight this urge so this is a type of spiritual disease a

[37:23]disease that afflicts the heart brothers and sisters that the Quran speaks

[37:26]about any time when morality starts shifting and this is happening every

[37:33]single day every single day there's new things that used to be

[37:38]immoral are being considered as moral and things that were considered as

[37:42]good are no longer valued in society like modesty modesty doesn't have

[37:47]much value today in this Society me in the US and the

[37:53]liberal Western Society anymore doesn't have too much how many times you

[37:56]see people are praised for being modest and their clothing and their

[38:00]demeanor and their behavior it's no longer of value so this is

[38:07]the third example of a a disease that can afflict the heart

[38:15]muham and finally there's a lot but I will this is the

[38:20]last one I'll mention the fourth example of a spiritual disease spir

[38:27]of a disee disease or sickness that can afflict the heart is

[38:33]this is mentioned in numerous verses in the Quran and this is

[38:39]amongst the worst illnesses that can afflict the heart IM in one

[38:45]verse speaks about this in one Hadith he says he says that

[38:56]there are sicknesses that can afflict the body and the heart and

[38:59]we said the heart means what the spiritual heart your spirit and

[39:03]soul we know what the physical sicknesses are what are some of

[39:06]those spiritual sicknesses how does your heart become diseased and Ill but

[39:13]spiritually not physically the IM says is extracted from a verse in

[39:25]the Holy Quran where Allah subhana T says Allah tala says whoever

[39:31]forgets Allah subhanahu wa taala and does not remember Allah and Allah

[39:35]is not part of their life Allah will afflict them with a

[39:49]spiritual disorder with a problem and that's when people feel emptiness inside

[39:55]void when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is not part of your life

[39:58]life Allah says that know that there will be a time in

[40:04]which you will start feeling this emptiness inside you you'll start feeling

[40:09]this discomfort that cannot be explained by any doctor or physician that

[40:13]comes from the absence of Allah in your heart and in your

[40:17]life the other example he mentions is when worship becomes a burden

[40:32]there are some things that are naturally they're naturally they're naturally we

[40:40]human beings enjoy them naturally there's pleasure in them good food right

[40:45]if someone is offered good food and they're healthy they will enjoy

[40:48]that food that meal but if you're sick if your body is

[40:55]sick sometimes the best meal on Earth they'll bring you the best

[40:58]steak from the best restaurant that's medium rare whatever you like it

[41:06]right and it tastes horrible for you why is there a problem

[41:09]in that steak no you're not a vegetarian or a vegan or

[41:14]whatever the problem is you're sick there's a problem with your body

[41:17]your body does not enjoy the natural pleasures of this Dunya and

[41:20]it can happen to every type of desire and pleasure where you

[41:26]don't enjoy it anymore this is a sick nness you seek treatment

[41:30]IM says one way our hearts and souls become sick you know

[41:34]what's one of the symptoms you want to look for symptoms of

[41:41]your heart being sick your soul being unhealthy is when Salah is

[41:50]boring when Salah is a burden when Dua is a burden and

[41:56]it's boring and you don't like it when conversating with Allah is

[42:03]a burden just know that your soul is sick just like your

[42:06]body could get a flu and you won't enjoy Foods so you

[42:10]have to seek treatment for your soul because naturally Allah subhana T

[42:15]created the soul it should enjoy it should enjoy speaking to Allah

[42:24]reciting the Quran doing good deeds we should get pleasure from this

[42:27]obviously it's not physical pleasure it's also a different form of pleasure

[42:31]spiritual pleasure and that's why when you look at look at the

[42:36]prophet he was asked what do you love from the dun the

[42:37]most he said Salah don't think that Salah is like a chore

[42:42]for the prophet for us it's a chore it's just something that

[42:44]we have to get over with Y Salah time let me go

[42:48]pray and then I'll do what I no it was Allah's love

[42:51]and passion he used to love Salah IM Hussein on the night

[42:56]of Ash you know what he told told his his companions he

[42:59]told his brother AB Abbas go and tell the enemies this was

[43:07]the night of Ash let them give us one more day and

[43:08]let let us spend this night without fighting and then they can

[43:13]start the fight tomorrow let them just give us one night why

[43:15]look at the answer of the Imam so I can spend time

[43:19]with my family so I can enjoy this dun he says so

[43:23]I can spend the night praying to Allah I want to pray

[43:30]Salah and then he says for Allah knows that I love Salah

[43:36]I enjoy Salah like you and I enjoy a good meal or

[43:39]watching sports or watching a movie it's entertainment for the IM but

[43:44]it's spiritual entertainment there is nothing that gives joy to Al IM

[43:53]Hussein to to and not just them to Pious individuals who have

[43:56]what who have kept their souls healthy so if I realize that

[44:03]I don't enjoy these any type of Good Deed sometimes you will

[44:07]not enjoy some good deeds because you're not understanding the philosophy or

[44:11]you don't know what you're saying that's but if you don't enjoy

[44:14]doing all good deeds that means you're unhealthy it's like someone hates

[44:18]walking to some people when they're not fit tell them to walk

[44:22]for 20 feet after 20 feet what does that tell you they're

[44:28]unfit get in shape you're not supposed to be that tired after

[44:34]20 Fe yes if you prayed for three hours you should feel

[44:37]bored and tired but which takes you seven minutes you're already tired

[44:45]and bored that means your soul your spirit is not healthy it's

[44:50]not in shape you have to get it in shape and why

[44:52]does that happen brothers and sisters one reason why this happens is

[45:00]when our hearts Harden the Hadith of the Imam he continues remember

[45:04]he mentioned some of the diseases of the heart the spiritual heart

[45:10]he says and one of the worst sicknesses of the heart is

[45:19]when your heart becomes hard and when we say your heart becomes

[45:22]hard we don't mean it physically it doesn't mean that your veins

[45:29]have come hard and that's why Blood can't go through it no

[45:32]no no no that's the physical illness the spiritual illness is when

[45:39]your spiritual heart becomes hard when you're born Allah gives you a

[45:47]soft heart and one of the effects of having a soft heart

[45:52]is that you enjoy worship is that you connect with the signs

[46:03]of Allah easily when you see the truth it penetrates your heart

[46:08]when you are told an inspiration or inspirational or motivational story it

[46:15]moves you why because that word that story that example can penetrate

[46:24]your heart because it's soft but what happens when your heart is

[46:28]hard and by hard we mean it obviously symbolically nothing will penetrate

[46:38]your heart even if you see and the Beautiful n of his

[46:43]face you'll still go back to Haram you still go back to

[46:45]sin why because that n of the IM can't penetrate your heart

[46:50]because your heart is hard it can't pass just like when the

[46:52]blood cannot pass through your veins and you get a heart attack

[46:55]why does the heart becomes hard one of the main reasons that

[47:05]our hearts become hard and it's hard for us to enjoy worship

[47:09]Dua Salah we're not easily affected and moved by the examples of

[47:19]the Quran and the prophet and the bait is because of the

[47:23]sins that we do brothers and sisters in says when your heart

[47:36]hardens every time you sin your heart it starts becoming a bit

[47:45]harder you sin again and again and again it gets harder and

[47:52]harder until your entire heart is blocked off when that happens nothing

[48:00]will affect you and Allah mentions in this in the Holy Quran

[48:07]some individuals they were never affected by the prophet they were never

[48:12]Guided by the prophet mountains would humble before the prophet but some

[48:17]individuals no what's the problem with them because their sins have completely

[48:22]dominated their hearts it's created their sins a layer a barrier thus

[48:28]nothing can penetrate and when that happens brothers and sisters you just

[48:38]start drowning deeper in sins and in misguidance and nothing can save

[48:42]you there are some people nothing can save them no matter how

[48:45]many lectures how much you speak to them you speak to them

[48:50]nicely aggressively whatever you do there's just no point why because it's

[48:54]the passageway is blocked this is one one of the worst spiritual

[48:59]diseases that may obstruct us so ask Allah subhanahu wa taal to

[49:08]soften your heart and there are certain treatments there are certain ways

[49:14]for us to heal our hearts brothers and sisters to soften our

[49:19]hearts this inshallah I will mention tomorrow night and this is very

[49:23]important we will end inshallah about this series how do we keep

[49:27]our ourselves immune from these spiritual diseases how do I keep a

[49:32]healthy heart such that the Quran says on the day of judgment

[49:41]nothing will help you except the one that comes with a pure

[49:47]and healthy heart how do we purify our hearts and make it

[49:54]healthy such that we have that on the day of judgment inshallah

[49:57]we will mention some of the prescriptions and the guidelines mentioned in

[50:04]the Holy Quran and by the may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless

[50:11]you all and accept your inshallah Monday night Monday night we will

[50:16]be having the celebration of the birthday of Al imass so inshallah
