[SPEAKER_01]: What's Ajib?
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is better in speech than him?
[SPEAKER_01]: Who calls towards?
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't say Islam.
[SPEAKER_01]: Even though we have to call towards this name.
[SPEAKER_01]: But why is that there's so much hikmai in that verse because some people have the wrong idea about Islam unfortunately because of what the media portrays.
[SPEAKER_01]: So sometimes if you say Islam immediately he has some preconceived notions.
[SPEAKER_01]: There might be what an immediate block.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you'll stop listening.
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah says woman, ahsan wa kawulam min manda'a, ill Allah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Talk about Allah, the greatness of Allah, the creator.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wa anil al-Salihan.
[SPEAKER_01]: After you talk about the greatness of Allah, what impacts people most?
[SPEAKER_01]: Action speaks louder than words.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he says, when Ami Laosalihan, you treat them kindly, you have righteous deeds, they see that, then they will ask you, dude, what are you?
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you?
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the verse immediately continues,
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, I am Muslim, like proud.
[SPEAKER_01]: Although there's nothing wrong with being proud, obviously, about being Muslim.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Waqala in any min al-Muslimin.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, look at the humility, the humbleness that I'm just one of the Muslims to always remind us, to be humble, to understand that that were by the way, although it's a responsibility of every single person who says, la ilahat Fadal.
[SPEAKER_01]: how to, yeah, the video, cameras, you got it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Barak al-Fiq.
[SPEAKER_01]: That although it's a responsibility on everybody, Allah says, wa-d'a'ian, il Allahi bi'ivnihi.
[SPEAKER_01]: Without the permission of Allah, you can do this work.
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to have it in.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have very good news for all of you here today.
[SPEAKER_01]: Our elders, our scholars, our brothers, and our sisters,
[SPEAKER_01]: You never invite someone, I don't know about you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you invite someone you don't like to your house?
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody does.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what I can't stand you broke and you come over for dinner.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't do this for aftar, but this is what I don't want to see when you're around.
[SPEAKER_01]: But look at this, this is who's house?
[SPEAKER_01]: And who invited you here today?
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah'sman.
[SPEAKER_01]: Could you come here without the Umrovallah?
[SPEAKER_01]: Without the permission of Allah?
[SPEAKER_01]: So what does that say about you?
[SPEAKER_01]: How many Muslims in Mashallah, New Jersey, or in our area here around Patterson?
[SPEAKER_01]: How many would you say approximately?
[SPEAKER_01]: Forty thousand Bismillah al-Lamma, Berik, Wazid Ya Rabbi.
[SPEAKER_01]: And how many would you say are here?
[SPEAKER_01]: A few hundred?
[SPEAKER_01]: So Allah looked at the forty thousand and decided there's something special I see in their hearts.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm an invite them here and who are we surrounded by now?
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I talk a lot about Iqlas.
[SPEAKER_01]: Does Allah accept any, oh MashaAllah?
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel promoted now, MashaAllah.
[SPEAKER_01]: How do you do the Sakhyanah?
[SPEAKER_01]: Anajah, Hiliah, Hifun.
[SPEAKER_01]: You want to help out?
[SPEAKER_01]: Dress me up here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bismillah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah only accepts, does He accept the amul that is not mochlus towards Him, that is not sincere to Him?
[SPEAKER_01]: There is one amul that He does.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anybody know what that is?
[SPEAKER_01]: To show you how great this amul is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what it is?
[SPEAKER_01]: People that sit in the remembrance of Allah, remembering Allah, somebody comes by.
[SPEAKER_01]: He sits down, he didn't come for the talk, for the ticket.
[SPEAKER_01]: He just happened to pass by, maybe he was tagging along with a friend.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he sits, and he listens, and the angels will tell Allah, because Allah says, Qummu, Makhfuran, Lakhum, these gatherings are so beloved, Allah, that Allah says, get up.
[SPEAKER_01]: You've been forgiven, not just forgiven.
[SPEAKER_01]: Qad, bud, dilat, say ye'a, tikum, has an act.
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah who Akbar, all your bad deeds have been replaced with, good deeds.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the angels say, ya Allah there is this one dude, he's chilling here on the coin and really come for that.
[SPEAKER_01]: So what does Allah say?
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, by the baraka of this mageless, even that person that didn't come for that intention, I will forgive him and switch all his bad deeds to Ayes to good deeds.
[SPEAKER_01]: All those roaming around, maybe not paying attention, going about, but they happen to be Hick within the mageless and shall let their counted from among souls.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I want to tell you is, in order to truly benefit from today's talk, it's not enough to be here.
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to actually listen.
[SPEAKER_01]: The knowledge is like water.
[SPEAKER_01]: And listening and the heart is like the container.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you're not giving the attention to the speaker, it's like your container is upside down.
[SPEAKER_01]: No matter how fast the water is gushing, are you going to benefit?
[SPEAKER_01]: Not a single drop in the container.
[SPEAKER_01]: But if the container is the right side up, you're paying attention, you're listening, and even if it's just one drop, one drop, you're going to benefit in shock.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bismillah listening for the sake of Allah and rectifying the intention.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not here to some people come with the intention.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, there's this cool guy online.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's an influencer.
[SPEAKER_01]: He talks about things that are cool, that are new, and you're just coming to renew that intention.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm here and you're here to praise Allah, to remember Allah, to glorify Allah, and to hopefully insha'Allah learn something new and apply it in our lives.
[SPEAKER_01]: because knowledge that is applied is Nour.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Nour is the currency of Aghira.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I would argue the reason we're here in this dunya, I don't know how many of you ever played Super Mario Brothers.
[SPEAKER_01]: And super Mario Saudis, now he's going about, he jumps, he hits the brick, and he's collecting those gold coins, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: This is how we are in this dunya, Allah says, Assalatu Nur, prayer is Nur.
[SPEAKER_01]: Was subru, later in the same Hadith, liya, also a type of light.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the day of judgment is volumet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Darkness is.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're collecting the North we need on this day for the darkness on that day.
[SPEAKER_01]: The more North and Ahmed that you collect and apply in your life, the more North you will find.
[SPEAKER_01]: Some people will have enough North.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like this, you know, your iPhones, your Android, they have that torch feature.
[SPEAKER_01]: And now Masala, you can increase the intensity or decrease the intensity.
[SPEAKER_01]: Some will be able to see just as far as maybe their feet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Some will be able to see a few meters down.
[SPEAKER_01]: Some as long as they're gaze.
[SPEAKER_01]: can stretch, depending on how much nor they collected.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is Ramadan.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're close to the Ashval Awajir.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the best of times, not all times are created equal.
[SPEAKER_01]: Laila tul kadri khayrun min al-Fishahah, not all days are created equal.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not all places are created equal.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ahab bul-bukhai fil-ar il-Allah al-Masajid, the most beloved places.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're now sitting in one of the most beloved places to Allah, His message.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we renew the intention that we want to apply.
[SPEAKER_01]: just as a conduit that Allah's utilizing me and Shah Allah to deliver something for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's an amenah, it's a trust.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want you to go home with something and really benefit.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said I really want to focus the talk today on the perspective of the believer, the movement.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I want to present to you that the believer is
[SPEAKER_01]: Command-oriented, not results-oriented.
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah Subhanahu ta'ala says, He says,
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a custom by Allah, surely.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the known as well, lana'i diyannahum, verily for sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: We will guide them, subulana.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what the subul are?
[SPEAKER_01]: One of my Masha'a'a'a'iqa'u lama, Masha'a'a'a'a'a'ajib guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, a subul ha'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa'iqa
[SPEAKER_01]: And Allah, al-Alamal, al-Alamal, came al-Kasamal al-Azabq.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like he portioned your risk.
[SPEAKER_01]: He portioned your al-Alamal.
[SPEAKER_01]: You will find some people.
[SPEAKER_01]: They have this.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're inclined more towards fasting, some more towards Dikir, some more towards Salah, some more towards charity.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's okay, whatever you're inclined to, but you will be guided to these paths by Allah Subhanat ala.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I want to focus on what Levina Jahadufina is an Aya Makiya.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was no Jahad of the sword at the time, there was Jahad of the what?
[SPEAKER_01]: Of the next, why the next?
[SPEAKER_01]: What does Jahadufina mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: You read the tafs here, those who strive in us, in Allah,
[SPEAKER_01]: How do you strive in Allah?
[SPEAKER_01]: What does that mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: I asked my Sheikh, I said, you know, it seems vague, like I know Allah is, I know what striving is, but how do I strive in Allah, Allah who Akbar the answer He gave me, how beautiful He said,
[SPEAKER_01]: meaning those who strive in our commands.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the strife?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because when the command of Allah comes, there are times where it doesn't align with your howa.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't feel like it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get up for a fed you.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's cold.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard, fast, but I'm hungry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever it may be, I don't feel like doing it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So there needs to be what?
[SPEAKER_01]: A muja ahead of the nefs, because when the command of Allah comes, you have wa hadina, who najdain.
[SPEAKER_01]: You have two options.
[SPEAKER_01]: Imma, the choice.
[SPEAKER_01]: Huda wa imma hawa.
[SPEAKER_01]: You either follow your caprice, your load-based desires, because I'm free broke, because I do what I want.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's freedom.
[SPEAKER_01]: Freedom, I do whatever I want.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's my life, it's my free.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're free happy, be not here.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're free here, you're gonna be a slave in Ahira.
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're a slave to Allah's commands here, you're gonna be free in Jannah in Ahira.
[SPEAKER_01]: He created paradise for the completion and fulfillment of your desires.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he created this dunya to fulfill his commands.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when the command of Allah comes following, if you obey your howa, your desires, manjahala, or italedi jahala what, ilahahu, howahu.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you make your ilah, your howa, why, your ilah is the one you obey.
[SPEAKER_01]: If your howa, this is what I feel like doing, and you do that, you followed howa.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Allah wants you to follow hudah.
[SPEAKER_01]: The guidance was in Tutti Ruhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone that can follow instructions really well.
[SPEAKER_01]: Raise your right hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Raise your left hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Drop your left hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Stand up quickly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sit down.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get on your right side.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right side.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, get up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Raise your left hand again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Put it down.
[SPEAKER_01]: Raise your right hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Put it down.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is Dean.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is it in a nutshell.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ishismu?
[SPEAKER_01]: Din bardu, Allah u'aqbar, takbir, is name is din, inshaAllah, inshaAllah, inshaAllah, din, inshaAllah, fitahirir falas, din.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ulu, amin, amin.
[SPEAKER_01]: So here we go.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you come.
[SPEAKER_01]: When the command of Allah comes, let me think about it bro.
[SPEAKER_01]: Had I thinking about it is before.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thinking about it when you're still trying to figure out if you have a creator, if he exists, once you come to the realization by using reason and logic, there's nothing wrong with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: To come to the realization that you have a creator that created you?
[SPEAKER_01]: Now there's just a stream.
[SPEAKER_01]: What did the Sahab say?
[SPEAKER_01]: wa fahimna wa machmahna wa atana no kalu samyana wa atana.
[SPEAKER_01]: Immediately we hear and we obey, because they knew the amir, fa'adlu mal-amir, fa'adlu mat al-awamir.
[SPEAKER_01]: When Allah became great, they knew the kadar of Allah, then when Allah's command came immediately, the ready to obey.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you have to trust
[SPEAKER_01]: It comes in one of the stories that I like to share because it really elucidates this point where someone is, you know, he's, you know, just hiking on a cliff and he falls down and it's like thousands of meters and he holds on with two hands, he's holding on for his dear life.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's crying out, he looks down of Rojnafija.
[SPEAKER_01]: If we fall, we're done for.
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks up and he starts, he's alone.
[SPEAKER_01]: He starts yelling, help!
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a nice echo on there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Good sound system, much.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody answers.
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks down, all of a sudden, he's hanging on for dear life with one hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Help!
[SPEAKER_01]: Then he hears the voice.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Allah Subhanahu ala ala now answers.
[SPEAKER_01]: And May you, Jibul Muttar Raida da'a.
[SPEAKER_01]: He says, yes, he said, who is that?
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, it's God.
[SPEAKER_01]: He says, God, help, oh God, help, help.
[SPEAKER_01]: So God says, do you trust me?
[SPEAKER_01]: So he says, of course.
[SPEAKER_00]: So God says, let go.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's holding with one hand.
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks down.
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks up.
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks down.
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anybody else out there?
[SPEAKER_01]: The trust isn't there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Allah wants you to let go.
[SPEAKER_01]: He wants to see that you truly trust in him before he shows you his signs.
[SPEAKER_01]: He can't argue, do.
[SPEAKER_01]: wa yakan astain.
