WEBVTT 00:00.031 --> 00:04.739 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's blessings upon us are too many to count. 00:05.720 --> 00:17.479 [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, for many of us, we find it difficult to highlight a blessing from amongst the blessings of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala surrounding us. 00:18.441 --> 00:22.748 [SPEAKER_00]: We can sincerely say that we are drowning. 00:23.116 --> 00:31.873 [SPEAKER_00]: in Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala's blessings, or that we are living amidst the market place of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala's blessings. 00:32.674 --> 00:42.593 [SPEAKER_00]: And about this reality Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says in his book, why inter-do-ne'am at Allah, La-Tahsuhah, that if you were to try and count, 00:42.674 --> 00:49.825 [SPEAKER_00]: run an audit of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala's blessings upon you, you will never ever be able to do so. 00:50.587 --> 01:04.028 [SPEAKER_00]: This very moment, O servants of Allah, in this very day, O children of Adam, that we are experiencing and living through is from the blessings of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala upon us this day of juma'a. 01:04.048 --> 01:08.395 [SPEAKER_00]: Omarim Qatbab, Rade Allah Huaym, or in a narration that goes back to him, 01:08.577 --> 01:15.123 [SPEAKER_00]: They is a highlight, they are in which teachers are Subhan Allah, the reality of this day. 01:15.924 --> 01:26.934 [SPEAKER_00]: That even with the people of the book, they understood how blessed the Ummah Muhammad ﷺ is and was because of receiving this day. 01:27.875 --> 01:35.142 [SPEAKER_00]: That they proclaimed that if this day was given to them, they would have taken it as a day of celebration. 01:35.982 --> 01:40.831 [SPEAKER_00]: And indeed, this day is likened in our Sharia to a day of celebration. 01:41.372 --> 01:49.928 [SPEAKER_00]: For it is well known within Islamic scholarship that the day of Juma'a is the day of read within the week of a believer. 01:50.550 --> 01:52.894 [SPEAKER_00]: And about this day, O servants of Allah, 01:53.110 --> 02:11.625 [SPEAKER_00]: We have a narration in Sahim Muslim, on the authority of Abu-Hawr-e-R-Hawr-e-L-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr-e-Hawr- 02:11.605 --> 02:32.112 [SPEAKER_00]: Walaatahu murseratu illa fi yomil juma'a that the best day upon which the sun rises is this day of juma'a and then he mentioned some historical realities pertaining to this day he say Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani

r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r-Rahmani r- 02:32.092 --> 02:54.319 [SPEAKER_00]: And on this day, Allah removed him from paradise and becoming of the hour will not happen except on a Friday on this day of Jumwara, me Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala make us from the people of paradise when the coming of the hour arrives, I mean, the hour of this is the reality of our day, a great blessing from the blessings of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala upon us. 02:54.299 --> 03:00.184 [SPEAKER_00]: And the day of Jumoura is not just a blessing, but it is a gift that keeps gifting. 03:00.705 --> 03:03.447 [SPEAKER_00]: For within this day, they are gifts as well. 03:04.128 --> 03:19.281 [SPEAKER_00]: From these gifts is an hour, which Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has revealed therein, in which if a believer raises his or her hand and asks from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will not let that supplication go and answer Subhanallah. 03:19.662 --> 03:24.306 [SPEAKER_00]: This is from the gifts of this day of Jumoura 03:24.286 --> 03:41.531 [SPEAKER_00]: Historically, have tried to determine the exact hour on this day with many sighting that this hour is the last period between or the last period on this day, the period between Salat al-Assar and Salat al-Maghrib and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and us best. 03:41.892 --> 03:53.449 [SPEAKER_00]: One of the others have said that this lesson from Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallamu regarding this hour is similar to his lesson regarding the night of power and decree and virtue during the month of Ramadan. 03:53.429 --> 04:13.058 [SPEAKER_00]: Laila to Rukadar that night which is better than 1,000 months we don't know the exact day but the lesson and the narration comes to us to empower us to worship Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala throughout and such is the same with the narration pertaining to this dua and it's hour on the day of Jumwara 04:13.038 --> 04:35.420 [SPEAKER_00]: that perhaps they believe a may strive to raise his or her hands during every hour on this day and ask from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and seek from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala so that if they ask the during the appointed hour, they will have the dohars answered and if they asked outside of the appointed hours then we know that dohara is more than just a dohara. 04:35.700 --> 04:38.623 [SPEAKER_00]: It is also a conversation with Allah Subhanahu 04:38.603 --> 04:44.018 [SPEAKER_00]: and they believe it will be rewarded for engaging Allah Subhanahu wa Ata'ala during this day. 04:44.339 --> 04:48.951 [SPEAKER_00]: This blessed day, this gift from the gifts of Allah Subhanahu wa Ata'ala. 04:49.943 --> 05:05.501 [SPEAKER_00]: From the gifts and blessings and bounties of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that really makes us appreciate that we are sincerely drowning in Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala's mercy is the fact that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala forgives our sins. 05:05.581 --> 05:06.302 [SPEAKER_00]: Can we imagine? 05:06.643 --> 05:13.491 [SPEAKER_00]: O servants of Allah and O children of Adam, if Allah took us to account for every slip that we made. 05:13.891 --> 05:18.837 [SPEAKER_00]: If Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala took us to account for our major sins 05:18.817 --> 05:27.170 [SPEAKER_00]: what would be our situation, and what would be our circumstance, and what would be our reality, our servant of Allah, and our child of Adam. 05:27.190 --> 05:37.526 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is the most forgiving and the most merciful, and this is from his mercy upon the ummah Muhammad sallallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu wa sallam. 05:37.546 --> 05:45.178 [SPEAKER_00]: From his mercy upon those who turn back to him sincerely, and to allow us to appreciate this better, 05:45.597 --> 06:09.647 [SPEAKER_00]: We should turn our attention to the fact that from the names and attributes of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and it is through these names and attributes that we learn about Him Subhanahu wa Ta'ala do we find that He Subhanahu has chosen many names from Himself that fall within the genre of compassion, of mercy and of the idea of forgiving. 06:10.724 --> 06:13.127 [SPEAKER_00]: For from the names of Allah Subhanahu A.T.A.L. 06:13.548 --> 06:35.078 [SPEAKER_00]: is a rachman, and from his names is a rachim, and from his names is al-Gafir, and al-Gafir, and al-Gafir, and al-Afir, and al-Bar, and the names go on and on la ilaha illallah, names of compassion, names of mercy, names that breed hope, 06:35.058 --> 07:00.188 [SPEAKER_00]: in the ummah Muhammad sallallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu a 07:00.168 --> 07:10.404 [SPEAKER_00]: Arrahman, O servants of Allah, refers to the one who has a mercy that is so vast, nothing from his creation can escape it. 07:10.945 --> 07:17.455 [SPEAKER_00]: Even those who declare enmity to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, they engulfed by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala's mercy. 07:17.835 --> 07:23.644 [SPEAKER_00]: Despite the association of partners unto him, despite the denial of him, 07:23.624 --> 07:30.338 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala allows them to breathe His air and to partake of His sustenance. 07:30.358 --> 07:38.033 [SPEAKER_00]: They drink Allah's water and they eat Allah's food and they breathe Allah's air and they walk about Allah's air. 07:38.374 --> 07:41.380 [SPEAKER_00]: This is because Allah's mercy is so vast. 07:41.360 --> 07:54.364 [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing can escape it, even the most ardent enemies of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala He allows them to live, giving them a chance to turn back to Him and redeem themselves. 07:54.384 --> 07:55.386 [SPEAKER_00]: Arrahman. 07:55.788 --> 08:11.687 [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, as He is the entirely merciful or Rahman, He is a Rahim, a Rahim O servant of Allah refers to the one who not only has a vast mercy that nothing can escape, but is also the especially merciful. 08:11.667 --> 08:16.393 [SPEAKER_00]: He is the one who has a mercy that is specific and unique to a group of people. 08:16.834 --> 08:19.437 [SPEAKER_00]: And that group no doubt is the group that followed. 08:19.878 --> 08:24.544 [SPEAKER_00]: The message of the ambia alaihi moussalatu was salam and died upon their teachings. 08:25.165 --> 08:30.111 [SPEAKER_00]: The believers, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has a mercy unique and specific to them. 08:30.592 --> 08:34.637 [SPEAKER_00]: That a believer enjoys Allah's mercy from him being a rachman. 08:34.617 --> 09:01.587 [SPEAKER_00]: and enjoys Allah's mercy from him being a Rahim and thus Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam describes Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala as Rahman dunya wa al-Aqirati wa Rahimahuma the Rahman of this life and the next and the Rahim of this life and the next that a believer who passes away upon two feet upon belief then he or she will have a special standing in front of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala on the day of Qiyama 09:01.567 --> 09:18.985 [SPEAKER_00]: a day Subhan Allah that He so saviya, a day that even the ambia alihumu salatu wa salam will be fearful of this standing in front of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, a believer goes to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala with the hope that if they are found to be too sinful, 09:18.965 --> 09:21.850 [SPEAKER_00]: They might plight, and they end this with Allah. 09:22.331 --> 09:26.178 [SPEAKER_00]: Insha'a ra'far'ala, if Allah wills, He will forgive them, they are in. 09:26.598 --> 09:36.896 [SPEAKER_00]: On the day of the day, and enter them into paradise, because He is a Rahim, the especially merciful, the one who has a mercy, especially for the believers, or insha'a'a'a'a'ab-daba. 09:36.916 --> 09:41.344 [SPEAKER_00]: And if He will subhana, He will punish them for a little bit, and then enter them into paradise. 09:41.885 --> 09:43.588 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah is a Rahman. 09:43.568 --> 09:45.776 [SPEAKER_00]: and Allah is a Rahim. 09:45.797 --> 09:48.447 [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah is also Al-Ghafer. 09:48.467 --> 09:52.482 [SPEAKER_00]: Al-Ghafer refers to the one who forgives. 09:52.597 --> 09:59.585 [SPEAKER_00]: It comes from the term, graphara, and graphara refers to this idea of engulfing something or encompassing it. 10:00.045 --> 10:11.678 [SPEAKER_00]: And for those who are well-versed with the Arabic language, you will remember that a helmet, for example, is known as a mihrfar, from the term or the root graphara, that which covers your head. 10:11.959 --> 10:21.169 [SPEAKER_00]: And protects your head, Allah is al-Ghafir, the one who forgives, he covers your sin and in doing so he protects you from exposure. 10:21.149 --> 10:25.056 [SPEAKER_00]: and he protects you from exposure both in this life and the next Al-Rafir. 10:26.238 --> 10:35.314 [SPEAKER_00]: But for the one who sins and then seeks forgiveness, knowing that Allah is Al-Rafir, but then sins again after seeking forgiveness. 10:35.795 --> 10:41.385 [SPEAKER_00]: When they sin again and Shaitan goes to them and tells them, you can't be forgiven. 10:41.365 --> 10:44.810 [SPEAKER_00]: You do not qualify to seek forgiveness from Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. 10:45.231 --> 10:49.157 [SPEAKER_00]: You should be ashamed, you sinned, then you ask Allah to forgive you, and then you sinned again. 10:49.197 --> 10:55.386 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah reveals to his slave that not only is Allah al-Ghafir, but Allah is also al-Ghafir. 10:55.867 --> 10:59.172 [SPEAKER_00]: Al-Ghafir al-Awazen al-Fa'an. 10:59.152 --> 11:04.801 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah ﷻ doesn't refer to the one who forgives, but the one who perpetually forgives. 11:05.242 --> 11:15.338 [SPEAKER_00]: The one who forgives you after forgiving you, the one who forgives you after forgiving you, that if you slip again after seeking forgiveness and being forgiven, Allah ﷻ 11:15.318 --> 11:32.596 [SPEAKER_00]: reveals to you that, oh, servant of Allah, do not lose hope in the messry of Allah, do not fall prey to the whispers of Shaykh Bhan, you sinned and you sinned again, turn back to Allah, Allah has given you life, turn back to Allah, as you early attend to Allah. 11:32.956 --> 11:40.684 [SPEAKER_00]: That Allah forgave you because he is al-Ghafir, he will forgive you again because he is al-Ghafir, the one who forgives you, 11:41.272 --> 12:04.883 [SPEAKER_00]: And that is why, oh seven, so Allah, these names of Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, 12:04.863 --> 12:07.907 [SPEAKER_00]: This is how perfect Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is. 12:08.228 --> 12:11.152 [SPEAKER_00]: He's perfect from ever and He's perfect forever. 12:11.412 --> 12:13.575 [SPEAKER_00]: He was al-Gafir before He forgave. 12:13.896 --> 12:15.919 [SPEAKER_00]: He was al-Gafir before He forgave. 12:16.159 --> 12:23.730 [SPEAKER_00]: He never needed to create a nation, a creation that was weak and slipped and needed forgiveness for him now to be called al-Gafir. 12:23.970 --> 12:32.322 [SPEAKER_00]: He was al-Gafir before He created us and he will be al-Gafir while al-Gafir forever as He was since ever Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. 12:32.302 --> 12:39.301 [SPEAKER_00]: Al-Ghafur, O servants of Allah, Subhan Allah, what hope does this name Al-Ghafur bring to us? 12:39.823 --> 12:42.951 [SPEAKER_00]: And what a blessing from the blessings of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. 12:43.312 --> 12:47.323 [SPEAKER_00]: For we have some amidst us who are entering. 12:47.303 --> 12:52.052 [SPEAKER_00]: They're 60s, or maybe they're 70s, or maybe they're in their 50s. 12:52.372 --> 12:56.580 [SPEAKER_00]: And they're looking back at their life and regretful of their actions and their deeds. 12:56.901 --> 13:03.152 [SPEAKER_00]: That Subhan Allah, I lived my life decade after decade, decade after decade, sinning. 13:03.132 --> 13:08.980 [SPEAKER_00]: In the disobedience of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, and now death is knocking me upon my door. 13:09.000 --> 13:09.942 [SPEAKER_00]: What hope do I have? 13:10.382 --> 13:17.312 [SPEAKER_00]: What hope do I have to redeem myself and no doubt Shaytan comes and uses these realities to further push us astray. 13:17.773 --> 13:22.159 [SPEAKER_00]: Further push us into a state of denial, into a state of despair. 13:22.600 --> 13:31.553 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala reveals to the Ummaq Muhammad sallallahu a'allu wa sallam that Allah is al-Qaful upon the scale of al-Fa'ul. 13:31.533 --> 13:37.605 [SPEAKER_00]: The scholars of the Arabic language, they say, words upon the scale denote a type of occupation. 13:37.966 --> 13:48.647 [SPEAKER_00]: Then when Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says He's Al-Ghafur, He's teaching us O-7 of Allah, and O-Chaird of Adam, that it is His occupation to forgive you. 13:48.813 --> 13:56.525 [SPEAKER_00]: What else can you do walk through the door of Al-Ghafur and go through the experience and see what happens to you? 13:56.545 --> 13:57.346 [SPEAKER_00]: What will you lose? 13:57.847 --> 14:08.244 [SPEAKER_00]: Irrespective of your years of sin, your decades of disobedience, there's nothing else for you to do, walk through the door for it is Allah's occupation to forgive you. 14:08.524 --> 14:11.749 [SPEAKER_00]: You have nothing to lose, walk through the door of Al-Ghafur. 14:11.729 --> 14:16.219 [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us the understanding of who He is subhanahu wa ta'ala. 14:16.560 --> 14:26.261 [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us a people who recognize His constant blessings upon a subhanahu May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive our past and inspire our futures. 14:26.702 --> 14:31.071 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, O servant of Allah and O child of Adam, in 14:31.051 --> 14:50.798 [SPEAKER_00]: The authentic teachings of the Prophet sallallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu aallahu 14:51.655 --> 14:57.100 [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says to His angels, bear witness, I have forgiven Him. 14:57.700 --> 15:00.363 [SPEAKER_00]: And then after some time, this slave sins again. 15:00.403 --> 15:15.776 [SPEAKER_00]: And he turns to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and says, you are of be, I've been up to them, but for fearily, oh my Lord, I have sinned, forgive me, and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says to His angels, bear witness, that I have forgiven Him. 15:16.296 --> 15:20.380 [SPEAKER_00]: And then this slave falls into this sin again. 15:21.372 --> 15:48.763 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah, what would be the situation with you and me, O servant of Allah, and O child of Adam, with regards to an employee of ours, with regards to our child, with regards to someone within our sphere of influence, who wrongs us three times, who goes against our instruction three times, we may have let them go the first time, we may have warned them the second time, what would be our attitude towards them the third time? 15:48.743 --> 15:51.206 [SPEAKER_00]: There's Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala for give his slave. 15:52.868 --> 16:12.793 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ says that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says to his angels, to bear witness that this slave of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is a slave, who recognizes that he has a Lord who is all capable over him. 16:13.330 --> 16:16.337 [SPEAKER_00]: but a Lord who is the most forgiving and the most merciful. 16:16.357 --> 16:20.828 [SPEAKER_00]: Bear witness that my slave is forgiven for whatever he does from today. 16:21.369 --> 16:22.452 [SPEAKER_00]: La ilaha illamah. 16:22.472 --> 16:24.316 [SPEAKER_00]: This is easy for Allah Subhanahu wa Ata'aih. 16:24.697 --> 16:28.106 [SPEAKER_00]: Who is the one who said, O servant of Allah, yabena adam. 16:28.126 --> 16:30.411 [SPEAKER_00]: L'Oba'l Al-Qaddu l-Bukha'ana ni s-sama' 16:30.391 --> 16:49.345 [SPEAKER_00]: If you send until your sins reach the services of the skies, where you see the high clouds amass, and then you turn to Allah, and you sowed forgiveness from Allah, Allah will forgive your sins for you, and it won't even matter to Allah. 16:49.747 --> 16:51.771 [SPEAKER_00]: Who is the one who said Yabin Haedam? 16:51.791 --> 17:08.700 [SPEAKER_00]: In the Qumtuqtu, O Nabil Ali, Wannahar and in the beginning of Jami'an fastahiruni, Ahfir, lakumau s-san of Adam You send during the day and during the night but it is Allah who forgives all your sins seek forgiveness for your sins from Allah Ahfir, lakumlah, ilaha illa Allah 17:08.680 --> 17:12.752 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah doesn't say seek for giving us for your sins and I will forgive you. 17:13.033 --> 17:21.217 [SPEAKER_00]: He says seek for giving us for your sins, jawabusharth, seek for giving us for your sins and consider yourself for giving. 17:21.237 --> 17:22.200 [SPEAKER_00]: SubhanAllah. 17:22.484 --> 17:27.232 [SPEAKER_00]: Meaning, ask Allah to forgive you and don't get up doubting if you've been forgiven. 17:27.573 --> 17:32.622 [SPEAKER_00]: Rather, get up empowered that if you were to die in that moment, you will have nothing to answer for. 17:32.862 --> 17:37.851 [SPEAKER_00]: With Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ana, regarding that sin that you made and you asked Allah to forgive. 17:37.911 --> 17:40.375 [SPEAKER_00]: This is easy for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. 17:41.266 --> 17:43.929 [SPEAKER_00]: We spoke about Allah being a Rahim. 17:44.270 --> 17:46.973 [SPEAKER_00]: The one who has a special mercy for his slaves. 17:47.814 --> 17:51.479 [SPEAKER_00]: In a Tirumi, there is another narration about the Bataqa. 17:51.679 --> 17:56.005 [SPEAKER_00]: So known as Hadithul Bataqa as the scholars have termed this narration. 17:56.405 --> 18:00.050 [SPEAKER_00]: And I try and imagine a small business card when I read this narration. 18:00.471 --> 18:05.337 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ says that a slave will be brought to Allah on the day of piyama. 18:06.178 --> 18:10.243 [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah will ask for his book of bad deeds to be brought forth. 18:11.185 --> 18:14.150 [SPEAKER_00]: And not one book will be brought, but 99 books will be brought forth. 18:14.991 --> 18:34.442 [SPEAKER_00]: Each book, as long as the eye can see, in Allah will ask his life, have my angels oppressed you, are these books so many, and so large, because in it there are sins that you didn't do, but we're written about you, and the servant of Allah will be in the regret and say, no, ya Allah. 18:35.300 --> 18:40.210 [SPEAKER_00]: Then Allah will ask for the book of good deeds to be produced. 18:40.230 --> 18:43.797 [SPEAKER_00]: And only one small book will be produced. 18:43.917 --> 18:50.811 [SPEAKER_00]: And this slave will appreciate his standing in front of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and the reality of it. 18:52.276 --> 18:55.062 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will ask for the books to be weighed. 18:55.544 --> 19:00.295 [SPEAKER_00]: The 99 will go on to their respective side of the scale. 19:01.116 --> 19:08.293 [SPEAKER_00]: And what we can imagine will happen when 99 weighty articles are placed in a place. 19:09.455 --> 19:12.358 [SPEAKER_00]: Then Allah will ask for the book of good deeds to be placed. 19:13.139 --> 19:14.621 [SPEAKER_00]: And naturally it will be placed. 19:15.382 --> 19:23.011 [SPEAKER_00]: And naturally it will fail to have a result in front of such weight on the opposing side of the scale. 19:24.052 --> 19:28.197 [SPEAKER_00]: But as this book is being placed onto the scale, a card falls out, a biotaka. 19:29.679 --> 19:34.124 [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala asks for the card to be weighed because it's a day of justice. 19:35.846 --> 19:37.268 [SPEAKER_00]: Everything will be looked at. 19:39.070 --> 19:52.845 [SPEAKER_00]: And when this card touches the scale, the good side of the scale becomes overwhelmingly heavy and the scale tips in favor of a person being from the people of paradise. 19:53.445 --> 19:55.568 [SPEAKER_00]: La ilaha illallah. 19:55.588 --> 19:57.510 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you're thinking what was on this card? 19:57.950 --> 19:58.911 [SPEAKER_00]: Because I had the same thought. 19:59.191 --> 20:06.259 [SPEAKER_00]: What could have been on this card that created this phenomenal change in circumstances? 20:08.129 --> 20:11.494 [SPEAKER_00]: And the Prophet ﷺ teaches us in the very same narration. 20:11.514 --> 20:13.297 [SPEAKER_00]: Asshadu Allah ilaha illa Allah. 20:13.978 --> 20:16.181 [SPEAKER_00]: And asshadu anna Muhammadin aabduhu wa Rasul. 20:16.842 --> 20:20.888 [SPEAKER_00]: On the card was the pula from the pula of Islam. 20:21.349 --> 20:25.535 [SPEAKER_00]: The main pula of Islam, belief in Allah subhanahu wa t'a'ala. 20:25.955 --> 20:29.461 [SPEAKER_00]: And belief in Rasul Allah ﷺ brings the final message. 20:30.001 --> 20:34.508 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah subhanahu wa t'a'ala faeva dislave ar Rahim on that day. 20:34.488 --> 20:37.393 [SPEAKER_00]: because of the shahad and because of this kalimah. 20:37.413 --> 20:39.556 [SPEAKER_00]: O servants of Allah and O children of Adam. 20:40.919 --> 20:48.251 [SPEAKER_00]: My statement to you is how can we ever lose hope in the mercy of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala? 20:48.271 --> 20:53.720 [SPEAKER_00]: How can we ever feel destined to do in this life and the next? 20:54.341 --> 20:58.167 [SPEAKER_00]: I began this hotbah highlighting how we are drowning. 20:58.687 --> 21:10.907 [SPEAKER_00]: in the mercy of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, Allah He will be lay, Allah He, I reiterate that statement, in light of my introduction of Allah to you all today in the s-hatma. 21:12.170 --> 21:22.883 [SPEAKER_00]: I introduce you to your Lord, the most forgiving, the most merciful, and reiterate the statement, how can we, who are breathing, ever lose hope in the mercy of Allah? 21:23.523 --> 21:28.770 [SPEAKER_00]: Time is running out, but there's one name that we should discuss before we end, and that is the name of Allah. 21:29.250 --> 21:33.735 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah, a lawful is a qualitative name, or servants of Allah, from the names of Allah. 21:34.156 --> 21:38.481 [SPEAKER_00]: For it teaches us how Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala forgives. 21:38.461 --> 21:41.044 [SPEAKER_00]: Al Aafu doesn't refer to the one who forgives. 21:41.605 --> 21:44.689 [SPEAKER_00]: It refers to the one who evases your sin. 21:45.550 --> 21:52.560 [SPEAKER_00]: When he forgives you, it's such a perfect forgiving, that there's no remnants of it ever being done. 21:54.002 --> 21:59.129 [SPEAKER_00]: Back in the day, computers had metallic heart discs. 21:59.149 --> 22:00.250 [SPEAKER_00]: Things have progressed now. 22:01.124 --> 22:07.233 [SPEAKER_00]: But those hard disks had a metallic platter with read right heads on them, for those who are well versed in IT. 22:07.954 --> 22:14.023 [SPEAKER_00]: And those read right heads would record information onto clusters and sectors upon that hard disk. 22:14.043 --> 22:17.007 [SPEAKER_00]: When you delete information, you think it's gone. 22:17.628 --> 22:18.510 [SPEAKER_00]: But it's actually there. 22:18.990 --> 22:20.753 [SPEAKER_00]: All the computer has done is 22:22.538 --> 22:28.609 [SPEAKER_00]: highlighted that a sector that had information written on it, you can now write information on top of it. 22:29.210 --> 22:34.900 [SPEAKER_00]: If somebody wanted to retrieve what you deleted, the information is there for them to retrieve it. 22:35.501 --> 22:39.808 [SPEAKER_00]: As someone might say, you know what, share, I'm a bit more clever, right? 22:40.149 --> 22:41.792 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't just delete, I do a format. 22:42.433 --> 22:43.635 [SPEAKER_00]: I format the hard disk. 22:44.105 --> 22:44.486 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay? 22:45.087 --> 22:46.631 [SPEAKER_00]: You can form at the heart disc. 22:46.651 --> 22:56.393 [SPEAKER_00]: But again, the formating of the heart disc would be a simple formating of the heart disc is just a reallocation of sectors being available for information to be shared on to it. 22:57.267 --> 23:00.031 [SPEAKER_00]: Somebody might say, no, no, I'm a bit more clever than the formatting guy. 23:00.773 --> 23:02.215 [SPEAKER_00]: I do a low-level format. 23:02.796 --> 23:10.468 [SPEAKER_00]: A low-level format is when you format the hard disk from the operating system from the BIOS, meaning what the operating system is built upon. 23:10.588 --> 23:11.710 [SPEAKER_00]: So what happens here? 23:12.251 --> 23:18.280 [SPEAKER_00]: You literally, in effect, grind the hard disk down to how it was the day you bought it from the manufacturer. 23:18.867 --> 23:20.909 [SPEAKER_00]: Now this is this is serious stuff. 23:20.970 --> 23:22.932 [SPEAKER_00]: If you do this, you have a good chance. 23:23.012 --> 23:32.904 [SPEAKER_00]: But remember, there will be edges on that hard disk that the read write heads will not reach during the low level format process, which means they will be chatter. 23:33.324 --> 23:42.475 [SPEAKER_00]: There will be pieces of information there that if some board analysts wanted, they could sit with it and try and build a puzzle about you and understand what you are up to. 23:43.016 --> 23:44.638 [SPEAKER_00]: You never 100% safe. 23:45.867 --> 23:48.036 [SPEAKER_00]: But Allah SWT is above all of this. 23:48.518 --> 23:49.221 [SPEAKER_00]: He is a lawful. 23:49.663 --> 23:55.287 [SPEAKER_00]: When He forgives you, the ground upon you which upon which you made the mistake is made to forget. 23:55.621 --> 23:59.266 [SPEAKER_00]: The angels who wrote the mistake, the sin, they made to forget. 23:59.627 --> 24:02.911 [SPEAKER_00]: The ink that has logged the mistake is lifted. 24:03.352 --> 24:10.682 [SPEAKER_00]: When you get to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala on the day of Qiyama, you get to him as if the sin was never done in the first place. 24:10.702 --> 24:15.468 [SPEAKER_00]: This is how perfect Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is in his forgiving. 24:16.029 --> 24:19.274 [SPEAKER_00]: O servants of Allah and O children of Adam, this is a good but of hope. 24:20.015 --> 24:21.797 [SPEAKER_00]: But not a good but of false hope. 24:22.351 --> 24:24.694 [SPEAKER_00]: This is not the khotba of false hope. 24:24.714 --> 24:30.380 [SPEAKER_00]: For when you leave the message, shaytan may visit you and tell you, did you hear the amazing khotba today? 24:30.680 --> 24:33.083 [SPEAKER_00]: Not amazing because of me, but amazing because of Allah. 24:33.724 --> 24:33.864 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah? 24:34.344 --> 24:38.249 [SPEAKER_00]: So just do this in, and after it, you will become a righteous person. 24:38.269 --> 24:40.411 [SPEAKER_00]: What a cool, no mean by the, he will come inside of him. 24:40.732 --> 24:43.335 [SPEAKER_00]: Do this in, and afterwards ask Allah to forgive you. 24:43.895 --> 24:49.962 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah, if this is how you behaved, no one can tell you that Allah won't forgive you because this is a matter with Allah. 24:50.347 --> 24:56.234 [SPEAKER_00]: But Shaykh Bhan cannot guarantee you life after the sin to seek forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. 24:56.814 --> 24:59.738 [SPEAKER_00]: So be respectful with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. 25:00.178 --> 25:01.520 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't plan sin. 25:01.940 --> 25:04.763 [SPEAKER_00]: But if you sin up, don't lose hope in Allah. 25:04.783 --> 25:07.186 [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone might be addicted to a sin. 25:07.506 --> 25:09.649 [SPEAKER_00]: Might be deeply ingrained in a sin. 25:09.969 --> 25:13.093 [SPEAKER_00]: And you try to get out of it sincerely, but there's a teething period. 25:13.373 --> 25:19.780 [SPEAKER_00]: There's an interim period that during which you try and fight, you desire to do the act, you slip into the act. 25:19.760 --> 25:43.839 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't lose hope in the mercy of Allah, seek forgiveness and keep drying, seek forgiveness and keep drying, until you meet your Lord, for this is our reality, O servants of Allah, we are on a gen to Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'ala, and Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'ala reveals the insurah to toba in his book, Allah never ever punished the people, as long as they continue seeking forgiveness from Allah. 25:43.859 --> 25:45.582 [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'ala forgive Allah.
