[0:01]Hey, [Music] my [Music] Alhamdulillah.
[0:49][Music] Muhammad.
[1:06]Alhamdulillah.
[1:16]Alhamdulillah.
[1:26][Music] [Music] This is your captain here.
[1:53]welcoming you on our voyage from the seven continents that we reside
[2:02]in or inhabit today to the three continents in the world of
[2:07]Barz.
[2:07]Something I've always wanted to say indeed when we go towards any
[2:10]journey we need to be stocked up for that journey and we
[2:14]need to know about the destination that we're visiting.
[2:18]And tonight we visit the first of the three continents of Barak,
[2:23]the continent of the Sab, the Mau and the Abar.
[2:29]This literally is travel for first and business class after we die
[2:33]because each and every one of us knows about the perks of
[2:36]first and business class.
[2:40]Some of us may have traveled on first and business class.
[2:42]The reality is the first and business class that is offered to
[2:46]you by airlines or used to be offered to you by airlines
[2:50]around the world is a first and business that is incomparable to
[2:55]the first and business class of those who are the foremost in
[3:02]faith.
[3:03]Many of us have read those ays of [Music] the occupy the
[3:12]position of our discussion today.
[3:14]When we look at the first continent in the world of Barzak,
[3:18]that first continent in the world of Barzac is a continent which
[3:24]is made up of a special select group of people.
[3:27]A person knows that when they enter the cabin of first and
[3:30]business, they normally have people waiting for them with their drinks ready.
[3:34]No doubt this is exactly the same in the hadiths when it
[3:37]comes to the first continent of the Sabir.
[3:40]There are literally people waiting for you with drinks and they accompany
[3:45]you to your seat.
[3:47]Those in the upper deck or in first have a bit more
[3:49]luxury than those in business.
[3:53]We said a few nights ago that when we die, out of
[3:55]the three groups in the grave, you've either got the best of
[3:59]the best of the best of the blessed and you've got the
[4:01]worst of the worst of the worst of the worst.
[4:03]And then you've got probably what we think is the majority of
[4:08]us and that's the middle ground.
[4:09]There are only two out of those three groups who are questioned.
[4:14]They are either the best of the best or the worst of
[4:16]the worst.
[4:17]When a person says why those two when the angels question the
[4:20]worst of the worst and the best of the best the reason
[4:25]is not for the angels to learn something new but rather to
[4:31]affirm the identity of the passenger on that plane.
[4:33]So you find that when the angels will ask the best of
[4:39]the best of the blessed when they ask them that who is
[4:41]your lord that person doesn't just reply Allah the person replies with
[4:49]a passionate reply sometimes with a form of a reply that is
[4:53]full of love a reply where his heart is burning or her
[4:58]heart is burning with passion in remembering Allah subhana wa ta'ala when
[5:02]they are asked who is your prophet they don't just talk about
[5:04]the prophet by giving a one-word answer.
[5:07]The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi rather they also talk with a passion
[5:12]about him know everything about him and his try to follow him
[5:17]in every single way possible.
[5:19]When they are asked and what is your book?
[5:22]They know the answer but they give it in a way where
[5:25]they know the book inside out.
[5:26]They read the book, they reflected on the book, they contemplated on
[5:29]the book.
[5:31]Therefore, those of the best of the blessed when they are questioned,
[5:35]the angels know that these people are on that level that they
[5:38]come back with such a passionate response because in reality in this
[5:41]world, either I'm someone who loves to talk about Allah, loves Allah,
[5:48]my love in Allah can be seen in my actions or I'm
[5:50]someone who just simply believes in Allah subhana wa ta'ala because my
[5:53]parents believe in God or I believe in the holy prophet peace
[5:57]be upon his son because my parents believe in the holy prophet.
[6:01]If I was born to any other parents, then I would have
[6:04]gone on another path.
[6:06]Or I respect the Quran, but I don't really have that much
[6:09]of a relation with the Quran.
[6:13]Yes, the odd funeral maybe.
[6:13]Yes, the odd wedding maybe.
[6:15]Yes, in the holy month of Ramadan, maybe at someone's house in
[6:21]a particular gathering or lecture or jela, whatever it may be, but
[6:24]there isn't that much of relation.
[6:26]And so those people from the very beginning their questions they reply
[6:30]back with a readiness as if they've been waiting for those questions
[6:35]all their life.
[6:37]And that's why I always say that if we now know these
[6:43]things, let us build our relationship with our Lord with the prophet
[6:46]peace be upon him and his family and the holy Quran in
[6:52]a way much stronger and with more bigger than we've ever had
[6:55]before maybe up to this holy month of Ramadan up to COVID
[6:57]19.
[6:58]I never had that same passion.
[7:01]So therefore when I would have died I would have been with
[7:02]that middle group who has to be in a state of suspense
[7:06]and I'm going to come to that group or us in reality
[7:07]very soon inshallah.
[7:10]But the reality is that why not from now when the Quran
[7:13]tells me successful is the one who purifies their soul from now.
[7:25]So that when I come to that stage, I want a first
[7:29]class ticket at least.
[7:29]If not first, I want to be on business.
[7:31]I don't mind.
[7:33]There's nothing wrong with those who may be on economy, but that's
[7:35]going to be too much suspense.
[7:36]We're going to come to their suspense very soon.
[7:40]Rather, when I'm on first and I'm on business, I can imagine
[7:43]the perks of first, the perks of business cuz we said, you're
[7:49]eating, barak, you're drinking, barak, you're socializing, barak, you have furniture, barak,
[7:53]there are houses, barak, there are mansions.
[7:56]So, I want to have the best of the best.
[7:59]I should aim that high from now.
[8:00]What you sow you will reap there.
[8:02]There is no doubt whatsoever.
[8:06]But what is made up of first and business class?
[8:08]Who are these personalities?
[8:10]Let's examine tonight how to get a first and business class seat
[8:18]in the first continent of the continent of and let's examine it
[8:23]in the following stages.
[8:23]Number one, when the Quran says in [Music] what does the foremost
[8:33]in faith refer to and what are the three opinions that are
[8:35]normally given?
[8:36]Number two, is it only those with the holy prophet peace be
[8:39]upon his family or does it include those with Nbi MS and
[8:44]those with Isa and those who had come before?
[8:48]Number three, what are the characteristics of these people in terms of
[8:53]their relationship with the Lord?
[8:53]Number four, and of the utmost importance, why does the Quran say
[9:00]that there was many of the past nations but only a few
[9:06]of those?
[9:05]And does that mean that I really shouldn't bother because there's only
[9:08]going to be a few of us who are allowed access into
[9:11]first and business.
[9:13]Number five, can I sit with Muhammad and Al Muhammad when it
[9:18]comes to that particular world?
[9:19]Then number six and of the utmost importance for all of us.
[9:25]If there are two decks business and there is first, who are
[9:29]the people of business and who is the people who we refer
[9:35]to when we talk of first class and barak and what type
[9:37]of words would these people use which would be the embodiment of
[9:44]the type of relationship that we want in this world and continue
[9:47]in the hereafter.
[9:47]Let's examine this and dissect the topic in complete depth.
[9:51]When we want to welcome ourselves to the world of first and
[9:56]business in we see inah this particular discussion from verse number 10
[10:02]to verse number 13.
[10:05]Of course, it stretches longer as the nights go on because the
[10:08]division is into three groups.
[10:09]But the group of our concern today is [Music] many ask the
[10:20]question who are the what does the mean?
[10:24]The foremost those who are foremost in faith.
[10:27]There are a number of opinions that have been given.
[10:29]one opinion those who were the foremost in praying the two because
[10:37]as we know before we were facing towards Jerusalem towards the towards
[10:43]that area and so when we were facing the and we were
[10:50]facing that area you'll find that there were a group of companions
[10:53]who were what a group of companions who were already praying in
[10:57]the first not like other companions who had only joined later.
[11:04]There were some companions and the first prayers when Allah revealed the
[11:07]prayers to the holy prophet peace be upon his family and revealed
[11:09]to him the guidance on salah.
[11:11]They had been the they were the from the muire.
[11:17]They were the ones who had already been in Mecca prayed towards
[11:21]the then when the got changed as many of you have seen
[11:27]in when we go for example towards Medina when we go to
[11:30]doing we'll always do a visit or perform a visit of you'll
[11:35]see the got changed towards Mecca there were some people who were
[11:41]making fun of the holy prophet peace be upon him and his
[11:43]family and they were making fun of him by saying that you
[11:46]people don't have your Allah revealed that look here is our and
[11:49]this had been originated for us already from the time of Adam
[11:57]and I.
[11:57]So therefore you found that one opinion is the foremost are those
[12:03]who had been amongst the companions who were foremost in praying both
[12:09]directions in salah.
[12:12]That's one opinion and no doubt there could be of those who
[12:15]definitely had been so loyal to the holy prophet peace be upon
[12:20]him's family never let him down in any way never ran away
[12:23]from anything from him always the height of piety the likes of
[12:29]the likes of Abuafari the others who were alongside the prophets such
[12:37]as bin Omar others these people no doubt that's on the one
[12:42]level.
[12:43]A second opinion was no those who participated in jihad those are
[12:48]the and again this is something which one may understand that a
[12:52]person is different from those who make excuses and stay at home
[12:59]when a person says that I'm willing to do anything to lay
[13:02]my life down to stand up against injustice to struggle against oppression
[13:07]that person no doubt is counted amongst the as in When you
[13:12]look at some of these personalities in early Islam, the dedication, the
[13:17]likes of Alad showed on the battlefield or the likes of Hamza
[13:21]Abdut showed on the battlefield, these personalities, the dedication they showed on
[13:28]the battlefield without a doubt classifies them as amongst the why because
[13:33]when a person is ready to show dedication to the messenger of
[13:38]their time, not only is the messenger of their time of the
[13:44]but they join them amongst the is fundamental because when a person
[13:52]says are those who prayed salah alongside the prophet peace be upon
[13:56]his family and were always loyal to him no doubt when a
[13:58]person says are those who fought alongside and showed loyalty to him
[14:07]and did not run away in the battles of no doubt these
[14:11]Why?
[14:12]Because they came to the call of their Lord and their prophet
[14:19]at the most precarious and difficult moment.
[14:24]Because when the Quran talks of the Quran is saying the criteria
[14:28]for somebody to come towards the level of being of the is
[14:32]that that person comes to the call of their messenger or of
[14:38]the one chosen by Allah as their leader in that time could
[14:41]have been a prophet and our time could be an imam.
[14:45]We come to their call without any hesitation.
[14:49]we reach a level that we stand up and if it means
[14:53]that we even have to lose our own lives so that those
[14:58]prophets and their messages and the people they're talking to understand the
[15:03]word of Allah subhana wa ta'ala then that no doubt is the
[15:07]level of the and that's why you found that in the famous
[15:12]hadith of the holy prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasall the holy prophet
[15:16]what does he say the are three notice The not just those
[15:19]who were with the prophet peace be upon him's family.
[15:23]When the Quran says the Quran is talking about those who could
[15:29]have been there with other prophets of Allah the holy prophet peace
[15:32]be upon him.
[15:34]He said the first of the is who?
[15:36]The first of them was the m of alon.
[15:41]Why was the cousin of Ferrron?
[15:45]Hezel was the cousin of Ferrron and the treasurer of Ferrron.
[15:50]His wife had a prominent position.
[15:53]She was like the hairdresser and the butician for Pharaoh's family.
[15:57]In other words, not only is the husband the treasurer, but the
[16:02]wife is the butician.
[16:05]Can you imagine that level where your wife is virtually alongside the
[16:09]princesses all the time and the level where you are the treasurer?
[16:12]this when he saw MS return to he noticed Nbi Mus did
[16:21]not have many supporters around him and he noticed that there were
[16:25]also many fake Mus there were people who were claiming to be
[16:30]MS son of Amran but he knew that this Mus was the
[16:32]one who grew up in Faron's court and he knew that this
[16:36]Musa what he was calling the people to he was calling them
[16:39]towards the path of Allah subhana wa ta'ala Now in one way
[16:44]this could have thought to himself listen I've got a cotch job
[16:47]I'm chilling listen my job I'm the treasurer of and at the
[16:52]same time my wife has got the best job she is the
[16:57]hairdresser of pharaoh's children say her name was and she used to
[17:00]be the one who used to look after those kids so what
[17:04]I've got nothing really to change over here but the words of
[17:07]his prophet affected him and subhan allah sometimes a person may be
[17:11]on a particular path path but they change knowing that that change
[17:17]will put them in difficulties will make them lose certain friends may
[17:21]even have a separation with their family but they do it purely
[17:24]out of love for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so you found that
[17:28]what happened was that this person at the beginning concealed his faith
[17:36]those who say you believe in a person who believes in this
[17:40]you guys always lying well The Quran mentions in surah 40 verse
[17:46]28 [Music] that there was a believer from the people of means
[17:56]what conceal cover their im that person used to conceal his im.
[18:02]Someone says well if he conceals then how does he talk?
[18:05]He talks in the world of Torah.
[18:06]He says something but intends a different meaning.
[18:11]those who attack, the reason that Shia went into a world of
[18:14]was because most of the empires surrounding them were empires led by
[18:19]animals not humans.
[18:21]And so if an empire is led by an animal, a person
[18:26]cannot reveal what they believe.
[18:29]Otherwise, like binar saw when he concealed his faith when Abu Jahal
[18:33]and the rest were torturing him, Allah subhana wa ta'ala allows you
[18:36]to conceal when you're surrounded by animals.
[18:40]If we're surrounded by humans, mainly non-Muslims are humans.
[18:44]The Muslim had many animalistic empires, lots of rubbish.
[18:47]Islamic history is full of rubbish.
[18:50]There's only a couple of moments you're proud of.
[18:52]Otherwise, the rest of it is all rubbish.
[18:55]Bloodbath, hate, killing, and massacres.
[18:57]That's Islamic history for you.
[19:00]No surprise.
[19:02]Nothing surprises me.
[19:01]So what you had was that this person concealed his iman until
[19:08]magicians believed in Mos.
[19:12]They had a stick.
[19:12]Moses had a stick that became a snake.
[19:15]Their stick only looked like a moment of sorcery where it looked
[19:20]like it was moving.
[19:20]Let's say from the heat of the sun and the mercury there.
[19:22]Whereas Moses' stick actually became a snake.
[19:25]Those magicians at that moment highlighted that level of that they were
[19:36]the foremost to come towards the call of their prophets.
[19:37]Straight away they said we believe in the lord of Harun and
[19:41]Ms.
[19:42]They straight away said that we believe in the lord of the
[19:44]two prophets of Allah subhana wa ta'ala.
[19:45]Who joined them?
[19:48]Hisel knew all this time I've covered my faith.
[19:51]There's been suspicion after suspicion.
[19:52]Suspicion after suspicion.
[19:55]Likewise, today there won't be any more suspicion.
[19:56]I believe in the Lord of Mus.
[20:02]Pharaoh said, you my cousin, my treasurer.
[20:04]You believe in the Lord of Mus.
[20:05]He said, I believe in the Lord of Mos and whatever happens
[20:09]to me, let it happen.
[20:10]They crucified him.
[20:13]They crucified him, nailed his hands.
[20:14]And he called out to the people, follow the path.
[20:16]Follow the path.
[20:18]Don't worry.
[20:19]I don't mind what nails are in my hands now.
[20:21]Follow the path.
[20:25]That person is of the why because that person when his prophet
[20:30]needed him meaning when his lord called upon him because when sui
[20:38]calls upon us we don't run away from the battlefield we stay
[20:43]there firm diligent that level of faith where nothing can shake us
[20:47]not the Quran says rather the Quran says that no they are
[20:57]a person who is always at the front who is not a
[21:00]far running away all the time that man stood at the front
[21:05]crucified but he stood there and his poor wife as well was
[21:08]burnt why was his wife burnt she was one day brushing the
[21:14]hair of's daughter or one of the courtier's daughters and she called
[21:17]out Allah's name not Feron they said to her that you are
[21:21]of the believers we're going to kill your child.
[21:22]She said, "Even if you kill my child, I will continue on
[21:27]this path." Look at that level of iman.
[21:29]Because truly, my brothers and sisters, for me to be on first
[21:31]and upper class and on the best of decks there, it's not
[21:33]something easy.
[21:35]Some might get the upgrade.
[21:36]Yes, always when you go to the check-in, there could be someone
[21:41]kind enough for upgrade.
[21:42]And we'll come to the topic of shaf and intercession soon.
[21:44]But sometimes, no.
[21:47]On the contrary, I have to work my socks off for it.
[21:51]And when I say word by socks of should come naturally.
[21:52]It's not that I've been forced to say follow the path.
[21:59]You crucify me, I smile in your face while I'm dying because
[22:02]I reach a level where death to me is sweeter than honey
[22:08]if it is in the path of truth.
[22:10]As that beloved son of Hassan Ali said wonderfully at therefore what
[22:14]you have the what were they?
[22:16]The were amongst those who came to the call of the prophet.
[22:21]That was the first of them.
[22:22]The second of them was who?
[22:25]Habib.
[22:24]Najar means carpenter.
[22:27]Habib was a carpenter.
[22:28]And he was a carpenter in the time of who?
[22:32]A carpenter in the time of the disciples of Christ according to
[22:35]certain opinions.
[22:37]Although he was also one who used to carve the idols according
[22:40]to some opinions.
[22:42]If we discount the opinion on leprosy 70 years this man had
[22:47]been an idol worshipper.
[22:47]One day when the two disciples of when the Quran says two
[22:58]disciples had come they had given the word of God.
[23:02]When they came to give the word of God, you found that
[23:09]they were rejected by the people, but he accepted them because they
[23:13]cured his son.
[23:13]One opinion said that they gave life to his son after his
[23:18]son had died.
[23:18]Of course, being companions of Christ.
[23:20]Another said no, that the son was sick and they gave life.
[23:25]When these disciples went to the people, they came towards the people
[23:29]and they tried to guide the people and these people would look
[23:33]around at them and they would look at them and they would
[23:39]say that you people are misguided.
[23:42]They belied them.
[23:44]So we sent a third of the disciples towards these people.
[23:50]When these people were mocking the disciples of Christ, who came to
[23:57]the call of prophet Isaam, who came when everybody else was quiet?
[24:02]Who was it that came?
[24:05]You found the one who came was Habib and Nar.
[24:08]He came when Hhabib came he was in his 70s and he
[24:10]came towards the call of his prophet and he came to the
[24:16]people and said that look I used to worship what you worship.
[24:20]Yes.
[24:24]That these idols that you worship, I carve them and I worship
[24:30]them.
[24:33]I used to worship what you used to worship.
[24:35]Listen to me.
[24:37]You'd think other people would listen.
[24:39]No.
[24:40]Again, same these people instead of looking at him and saying, "Wow,
[24:44]that's a warner to us.
[24:45]this person his iman overflows the passion overflows and he was telling
[24:52]them that I'm a sincere warner to you instead these people what
[24:55]did they do they went and they mocked him because he was
[24:59]saying to them that listen when we die it's not the end
[25:00]of our life we move from this world there is a hereafter
[25:04]day of judgment in the middle there's an intermediary realm they looked
[25:09]at this intermediary realm go and enter that ja that you talk
[25:15]about because you know there's a ja in and then there is
[25:19]the Jenna of the hereafter.
[25:18]There's a in there's a in the hereafter.
[25:23]So they said to him that go and enter your when they
[25:29]came and killed him they killed the poor man.
[25:32]The poor man all he had done he had come to the
[25:37]call of Allah and his prophet reminds me of Ali Akbar son
[25:42]of Im Hussein his greatgrandfather from his mom's side was came and
[25:47]represented the people of told them that this s is a wonderful
[25:53]man follow his part they ended up killing the man subhan allah
[26:02]How many messengers come to them and they mock them and that's
[26:09]why this and are known as the inadith literature because this when
[26:19]he got killed the what do they say?
[26:22]They say when they said to him, "He died from the world
[26:29]of he called out, [Music] I wish my people could see the
[26:40]way that my Lord has forgiven me and has made me of
[26:42]the mukram means what?
[26:45]The honored ones." When you enter first and business, straight away you
[26:49]feel honored.
[26:48]You don't know if it's real or you don't know if the
[26:52]person's faking it and the stewards and says but still no problem
[26:53]they honor you.
[26:55]Welcome sir.
[26:56]How can I help you?
[26:57]Hope you have a safe flight.
[26:58]Likewise the angels when you enter the first content of the salams
[27:04]and the glad tidings and the drinks.
[27:06]He looked at what he saw some of the scholars of Quran
[27:11]say that when he called out and all of you my dear
[27:13]brothers and sisters from around the world have heard this line from
[27:25]Where was he saying this from?
[27:29]From the world of back to the people.
[27:32]Someone says, "Well, what difference does it make if he says it
[27:35]from the world of barak back to the people?" Allah subhana wa
[27:37]ta'ala in the Quran sometimes shows us the next world or the
[27:43]next dimension and what's being said there.
[27:45]How many times in the Quran are there conversations?
[27:46]The people of hell said to the people of heaven, the people
[27:49]of heaven said to the people of hell.
[27:51]We know they're not there yet.
[27:52]We know that that Jenna, nobody's been entered yet, but the bar,
[27:57]the ja of is there, the hell of is there.
[28:02]There are conversations about Jesus on the day of judgment.
[28:03]We know that that hasn't happened yet.
[28:05]But Allah says on the day of this likewise with this what's
[28:11]happening replying to his people after they had executed him this word
[28:20]later I wish comes a lot in the Quran in relation to
[28:25]death.
[28:25]Some people say some people will say this person says that you
[28:35]people who are worried or you people became too arrogant think Allah
[28:38]will never forgive you Allah forgives what I've seen like I imam
[28:44]when he was dying said and it is for this that we
[28:49]do what we do why we do what we do all of
[28:49]us in those moments our eyesight becomes sharp up.
[28:54]So these people who are they and who and the these were
[29:09]always known as the inadith literature in literature that you want to
[29:15]know who the are the are those who were the foremost in
[29:19]coming to the call of the prophet.
[29:23]Someone says but okay it says lots of the past nations few
[29:30]so what's the point of us even trying no don't worry about
[29:32]what result you get at the end keep revising keep working hard
[29:35]there may be one of Allah's messengers on the earth in the
[29:42]form of an imam known as iman I may have to answer
[29:48]his call am I ready to answer his call do I passion
[29:52]ely reflect on answering his call for his call.
[29:53]The mei as we know is accepted in literature.
[29:56]He is from the sons of literature and we know that he
[30:03]will spread justice and remove injustice.
[30:06]Am I ready to answer his call the way answered the call
[30:10]the way answered the call the way answered the way answered that
[30:15]call?
[30:16]That is the question I have to ask.
[30:20]Someone says what's the characteristics of these people?
[30:24]Yes.
[30:23]What's their characteristics?
[30:26]When you get to the flight, first class is divided into what?
[30:32]Into the first class being the and business class being al the
[30:41]are on business are on first.
[30:44]And the scholars of course have given different opinions on both of
[30:46]these.
[30:47]I can use them interchangeably.
[30:48]But when it said are on first, someone says who are the
[30:56]why are they on first?
[30:59]Have a special distinction different from the first and foremost acted on
[31:07]love then on faith.
[31:10]Abra act on faith and then the love grows.
[31:13]Their action is purely love.
[31:18]Their action is on the base of what?
[31:20]Is on the base that whatever I do, I don't do it
[31:22]because my father and mother forced me to pray.
[31:25]I found love in worship.
[31:28]I don't do it because the community expects me to.
[31:31]I found love in talking and calling and praying to Allah subhanahu
[31:35]wa ta'ala.
[31:37]And that's summarized wonderfully in many things that we see in Islamic
[31:42]literature that the mukar those who literally drink from the fountain of
[31:48]mamm and malik they drink from that fountain of the love of
[31:52]Allah and the love of the they don't come and say well
[31:57]if faith says this then I have to do it love comes
[31:59]ahead of everything and that's why they're all together as I im
[32:05]says the souls resemble each each other they'll come together those souls
[32:09]that are in love with Allah subhana wa ta'ala those souls that
[32:13]put Allah before anything during anything after anything because what's the litmus
[32:19]test for the are those on first class everything they did they
[32:24]saw Allah before it Allah during it Allah after it if a
[32:28]friend of theirs said let's go and smoke this they think Allah
[32:30]would be happy or not if somebody came and said let's drink
[32:34]this Allah would be happy or no If somebody came and said
[32:37]let's perform this act Allah would be happy or no their main
[32:40]concern is the love of Allah and their main concern is the
[32:46]remembrance of Allah subhana wa ta'ala in every single moment of their
[32:49]life that even if you were to remove the veils between them
[32:54]and Allah their faith would neither increase nor would it decrease.
[32:58]Secondly, they find happiness in being humbled with a difficult moment if
[33:04]that moment brings them closer to Allah.
[33:07]How many of us when we're going through a trial, our faith
[33:13]waivers?
[33:13]Our faith shakes.
[33:13]Our faith becomes a faith where we begin to ask why is
[33:18]there really a god?
[33:18]I'm not sure if there's really a god.
[33:20]You know what?
[33:22]If there was, then all my Hajj and my Zara and Malis
[33:24]and nothing's going well for me.
[33:26]So, I don't know if there's really a God out there.
[33:29]You know, people are saying it.
[33:30]I doubt it.
[33:32]Or, you know what?
[33:35]Why is my child gone through cancer?
[33:37]Or why has my mother died at such a young age?
[33:39]Why is it that we've gone through so many troubles?
[33:42]When you're at that level, it's understandable.
[33:46]You're human.
[33:49]But the mau in first class of the flight they are the
[33:53]ones who actually find getting closeness to Allah has sometimes through trial
[34:00]and suffering.
[34:02]Imam Bakam says when Allah loves his servant he drowns them in
[34:06]the sea of suffering.
[34:09]For some they cannot understand.
[34:11]Christ could understand it.
[34:12]Muhammad peace be upon himself could understand it.
[34:15]Moses could understand it.
[34:16]Job could understand it.
[34:17]Joseph in the well.
[34:20]Job with afflictions.
[34:20]Moses with his people.
[34:22]Christ with the children of Israel.
[34:23]Muhammad with the Quraysh.
[34:27]They saw trials and tribulations.
[34:28]And yet they would turn around and be thankful to the Lord
[34:31]at every moment.
[34:33]They would say ham and shuk whatever they were going through in
[34:37]life.
[34:38]Not just when things were going swimmingly.
[34:40]When things are going swimmingly, everyone is saying yes, I'll do anything.
[34:44]when things aren't going well you know I can't contribute I can't
[34:46]donate I can't come to mosque I don't want to come to
[34:51]mosque I'm not feeling mosque why not fix yourself from now to
[34:54]go higher spiritually the highest level spiritually the level of the is
[35:02]anything that happens to me hammed all praise be to Allah I'm
[35:06]thankful to Allahub's wife says to him why have we gone through
[35:10]this he says to listen my lord's been so kind to me
[35:14]for many years he wants to test for a few so be
[35:16]it.
[35:17]And as I im Ali says, don't say, "Ya Allah, don't test
[35:19]me." You'll be tested.
[35:19]Rather, say, "Ya Allah, do not test me with that which shakes
[35:25]my faith in you." Any other test, look at it.
[35:30]Even if I'm humiliated and the rabbis are making fun of me,
[35:35]be I Mary, be I Christ, be I Aub.
[35:38]If it brings me closer to you, I accept your decree.
[35:40]I accept your will, oh Allah.
[35:43]Whatever happens in my life, if I lose everything in my business,
[35:48]I accept your will.
[35:48]Everything you do is beautiful.
[35:51]Summarized by that lady in Sham when she said or is attributed
[35:56]to her that I see nothing but beauty.
[35:59]I ask for recompense for those martyrs who died in Kbala.
[36:06]So the who have reached the level where they are in first
[36:11]class because either everything they did was love then faith and then
[36:16]secondly if you I'm humiliated but in a trial but I accept
[36:21]your decree.
[36:20]Those the first class can visit the business.
[36:25]Who's in business?
[36:28]The yes ab the righteous are the near ones.
[36:32]They are in a very high level of course and you found
[36:37]that that particular area of the first continent is the the and
[36:44]and some of us some of the people of the right hand
[36:49]some they are on that highest level.
[36:52]You found that those people on that high level why are they
[36:57]not on first?
[36:59]Why are they on business?
[36:59]Okay.
[37:00]The reason is they would do things based on faith first then
[37:08]love.
[37:08]They'll follow to the tea and then they'll have that love there
[37:11]as well but not the same as being engrossed in love and
[37:15]then in faith.
[37:16]Someone says what do you mean love faith faith love?
[37:19]I'll come to the man who summarizes it all in one second.
[37:22]So what you have therefore is that these people also didn't remember
[37:26]Allah all the time but most of the time but there were
[37:28]times where they lapsed in their remembrance of Allah.
[37:32]Can business visit first?
[37:35]No.
[37:36]Can the ones in first visit business?
[37:38]Yes.
[37:39]So when the are the ones they come and visit the love
[37:42]the visitation from the ra because they don't bring them like how
[37:47]we bring for example I might bring you presents or something.
[37:49]their light to the wisdom that comes in the development of the
[37:52]world of therefore they can't wait for that moment when one group
[37:59]comes to visit the other when one side comes to visit the
[38:03]other that is a wonderful moment when the mkarun come towards the
[38:08]it's a moment that they all look forward to ultimately all of
[38:12]us are taken towards those who are on that level are taken
[38:15]towards salam now some might say that is it the salam and
[38:22]najv I think salam and naj is named after the salam of
[38:24]the narrations of where these special souls will all end up because
[38:31]what do we want we want salam either or in the hereafter
[38:39]both are places of that we all yearn for we yearn to
[38:44]be in that abode where the people around us have got that
[38:47]sukun moon that tranquility you sit with them the wisdom radiates the
[38:52]light radiates the comprehension increases my understanding on my journey reaches a
[38:58]level where I'm thinking you know what it's going to be a
[39:02]good day of judgment and I can't wait for the with Allah
[39:04]subhanahu wa ta'ala so you had the on one level the on
[39:12]the level below first class on the business these are all under
[39:17]the Category of what?
[39:20]They may be under the category of the we mentioned.
[39:23]We mentioned we mentioned but you want to see the embodiment of
[39:30]the embodiment then look at and notably imat how imam forget how
[39:42]they portray him as an Arab personality who became a fourth khalif
[39:46]we have to respect him because he's the son-in-law forget all that
[39:52]nonsense we respect Im Ali Ali has am on a much higher
[39:57]level because we have from Imam firstly the wisdom which is the
[40:03]wisdom of Sai whenas taught him that wisdom listen to the wisdom
[40:07]that flows from his mouth people said love then faith not faith
[40:13]then love listen to what he says oh Allah my lord I
[40:15]don't worship you out of fear of hell for that's the worship
[40:20]of a slave nor do I worship you because I want heaven
[40:22]that's the worship worship of a businessman.
[40:24]I worship you because I found you worthy of being woripped.
[40:29]That's the worship of a free human being.
[40:31]That's the level of the son of Abu Talib.
[40:42]If there was no j noam still in his supplication says if
[40:47]you put us at the bottom of hell, we'd still yearn for
[40:49]your mercy.
[40:51]We'd be crying from your separation.
[40:53]Oh my lord, that's the lover in the world of barak in
[40:58]that continent.
[40:57]So therefore, Im says, we don't worship you because we're scared of
[41:02]hell.
[41:03]Nor do we worship you because we want heaven.
[41:06]We found you worthy of being worshiped.
[41:09]Oh Allah, that's the worship of a free human in this world
[41:12]who's going to be free when they go on the first class
[41:16]deck.
[41:16]That's on the first level.
[41:18]on the second level when his prophet needed him like the others
[41:22]straight to the front line.
[41:27]Wallah I tell you I swear by this if it was any
[41:29]other person on the day of who stood up against wallah the
[41:35]Arab world would have made a thousand television programs documentaries films on
[41:43]it but because it's you don't see any film on they see
[41:50]some do 30 nights on personalities oh Allah there's not one dua
[41:54]they left Not one dua they've left behind for us.
[41:59]Not one they've left behind for us.
[42:02]And they drew 30 nights on his life.
[42:07]And imam I guarantee you if it was who stood in front
[42:16]of there'd be a thousand films versus Ali.
[42:21]Do you think it was something small?
[42:22]All I ali standing up looking at all of them Muhammad's soldiers
[42:27]none of them have the bravery to even stand up against me
[42:31]like Al like Alien you need us we're there we don't run
[42:42]where are you a prophet he claims that there's a ja and
[42:47]barak and all this stuff where are your companions where are They
[42:55]where?
[42:52]Where?
[42:53]Where?
[42:54]Show me.
[42:56]Allow me to understand my dear brothers and sisters.
[42:59]Where?
[43:03]Where?
[43:05]Allahbar.
[43:10]Everybody got the title.
[43:13]This is the bravest.
[43:13]And where's like come on.
[43:17]It's just me.
[43:17]You know how you always see chickens?
[43:19]They gather in gangs.
[43:21]Oneon-one.
[43:22]One-on-one.
[43:23]He'll never fight you.
[43:24]When he's got his boys, he'll fight you.
[43:27]Come on.
[43:31]I'm just me.
[43:31]I see all of you.
[43:34]You, I remember, were a jah.
[43:35]You were a mushik.
[43:35]Beyond mushri.
[43:37]You used to execute people before you became Muslim.
[43:42]You slapped your sister on the way to Islam.
[43:42]You used to prostrate before idols made out of wood.
[43:46]Which one of you can face me?
[43:51]You put everyone in gender same level how old 27 years of
[44:00]age 28 said I'll face you said what's your name said Ali
[44:06]son of Abu Ali he said I won't kill you your father
[44:10]was a friend of mine he said but I'll kill you because
[44:12]you're an enemy of God.
[44:14]Where's the rest?
[44:17]Where's the rest?
[44:19]You can't you can't, my dear brothers and sisters, fool yourself with
[44:25]a narrative of Islamic history that is full of nonsense.
[44:31]Run away chickens sitting there saying all you guys are here.
[44:41]Where are you?
[44:41]Come on.
[44:42]And Imm Ali had already asked twice.
[44:46]I want to go this man.
[44:47]What?
[44:47]He tried to mess with my prophet and you guys are all
[44:50]silent.
[44:50]You who all claim to love him.
[44:54]No wonder called was revealed.
[44:58]They wanted to expose not everybody is the same.
[44:59]There's some their hearts are full of filth and there some their
[45:04]hearts are so pure.
[45:04]Me against you.
[45:06]I'll finish you.
[45:06]And look how pure his soul was with two moments.
[45:09]The first moment was when they asked him, you walked away, you
[45:13]came back, you walked away, you came back.
[45:15]What was it?
[45:17]He said when I was about to strike him, he spat at
[45:20]me.
[45:20]I was angry, but I wouldn't strike him cuz I never kill
[45:22]anyone who makes me angry.
[45:25]I only finish those who make Allah angry.
[45:28]And the second was the armor on his body.
[45:33]His sister, when she found out the son of Abu Talib had
[45:36]killed him, she said, "Who's this young man who's killed my brother?"
[45:39]They said, "Hale, son of Abu Talib." She said, "Let me go
[45:41]and see my brother's body." She was crying by her brother's body
[45:43]and then she left.
[45:45]She said, "I'm honored the son of Abu Dhabi killed my brother."
[45:47]Tell me which sister you've killed.
[45:49]Her brother says, "I'm honored that that man killed my said why?"
[45:53]Said, "Because my brother before he begins one-on-one combat, he always tells
[45:58]the person this armor and jewelry belongs to the family.
[46:00]If you kill me, leave it for them to take home." She
[46:05]said, "What an honorable man the son of Abu Dalib is that
[46:08]he could have done what others would have done from these Arab
[46:14]pagans and Arab nomads and Arab filth." But no, on the contrary,
[46:17]he allowed this comeback.
[46:17]I'm honored that he killed my brother.
[46:20]And that's why what did Sah say on that day?
[46:24]The whole of I fights the whole of Kufur.
[46:27]Tell me one person alongside Muhammad sallallahu alaihi who was known as
[46:33]the embodiment of Im the whole embodiment.
[46:36]The strike of Ali at greater than the worship of all the
[46:39]Muslims, all the humans, all the jin until the day of judgment.
[46:44]I wish that was the oneoff.
[46:45]Same story.
[46:46]This one goes comes back nothing.
[46:48]This one goes comes back nothing.
[46:50]Same story.
[46:51]Same result to save the day.
[46:55]We made him number four.
[46:58]He should have gone to another religion.
[47:00]I'm telling you, they would have appreciated him more than us.
[47:04]This man you had therefore he was foremost in love of Allah
[47:10]faith and his love in his in his imam when he would
[47:18]recite the dua and the dua anyone does religious not religious you
[47:21]all called to Allah.
[47:25]are the lovers.
[47:24]The lovers recite my master.
[47:33]Oh my master, you are the master.
[47:35]I'm the slave.
[47:37]Who is there for the slave except the master?
[47:42]My master, oh my master, you are the beneficient generous and I
[47:47]am the stingy who is therefore the stingy except the generous.
[47:50]The way they humiliate themselves that is the my master you are
[48:01]the strong I'm the weak the man who was victorious at every
[48:03]battle they call himself the weak that is humbling because they want
[48:10]to receive all the grace of Allah to help them in that
[48:13]world of so you said he said you are and yes and
[48:19]who is So you found all these lines in the which we'll

[48:30]take your hearts to Medina and you see the [Music] My God,
[48:51]who can have tasted the sweetness of your love, then wanted another
[48:56]in place of you?
[48:59]Who can have become intimate with your nearness?
[49:04]Then sought removal from you.
[49:05]My God, place us with him whom you have chosen for your
[49:09]nearness and your friendship.

[49:48]worthy for worship of you.
[49:52]Uh him whose heart you have captivated with your will.
[49:54]Him who you have picked for contemplating you.
[49:57]Uh whose look you have made empty for you.
[50:02]Whose breast you have freed for your love.
[50:05]Uh whom you have made desirous of what is with you.
[50:07]and inspired with your remembrance.
[50:10]Uh, allotted thanksgiving to you, occupied with obeying you.
[50:16]Him who you turned in into one of your righteous creatures and
[50:21]him who you chosen for your whispered prayam.
[50:25]Honestly, my dear brothers and sisters, those of the imam are the
[50:31]most beautiful of take your heart to Jenna tonight.
[50:38]He loved his father but he couldn't be there for his father
[50:43]in his final moments.
[50:43]We said that was there for him in every moment.
[50:52]Imagine you couldn't be there when your father needed you the most.
[51:00]That's why you find that when I im narrates to us, he
[51:02]says that when I Z was on his deathbed, the poison had
[51:09]it surrounded the body of the Imam and the poison was all
[51:13]over him.
[51:12]It was causing him pain.
[51:15]Im Bakan says, "I came to hug my father on his chest.
[51:18]When I hugged my father on his chest to ease some of
[51:24]his pain, I saw the tears flow from my father's eyes like
[51:31]I've never seen them before.
[51:31]This is over 30 years after Carbella, mind you.
[51:35]He said that when I hugged my father on his chest, I
[51:39]saw his tears overflow from his eyes.
[51:42]I said to him, "Father, father, father, father, why do you cry?
[51:50]Why do you cry when I hug you on your chest?" When
[51:54]in a moment you'll see because in the world of we can
[52:00]sit with we can be alongside them because the angels say to
[52:06]us that you'll go and sit with them.
[52:08]Welcome.
[52:09]And oh lover of Muhammad and Muhammad, in a moment you'll see.
[52:13]In a moment you'll see.
[52:17]In a moment you'll see.
[52:18]In a moment you'll see.
[52:22]In a moment you'll see, "Oh my father, why do you cry
[52:29]when I hug your chest like this?" He looked towards me and
[52:35]he said, "Oh my son Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, when I am dying,
[52:42]you are on my chest.
[52:43]Whereas do you know who sat on the chest of my father
