WEBVTT 00:00.419 --> 00:05.042 [SPEAKER_00]: The topic of Alistair Qama is something we have heard before, and we need to be reminded about it. 00:08.085 --> 00:14.449 [SPEAKER_00]: But there are some ways, of course, some things which are advised for us to do practically, because this is not Elman Novel. 00:14.469 --> 00:15.250 [SPEAKER_00]: It is not a theory. 00:16.491 --> 00:23.796 [SPEAKER_00]: It is something that we practically do, so that we can remain upon this blessed and correct path. 00:25.918 --> 00:27.399 [SPEAKER_00]: First and foremost, adherence 00:30.868 --> 00:52.403 [SPEAKER_00]: As for you to hold on to the Dean of Alasukhanoat ala, for you to refer back to the sources of al-Wahey, of revelation both al-Quitable Sunnah, for you to understand them that whatever you learn you implemented, this is one of the ways that you can attain our remain upon a straight path. 00:54.604 --> 00:58.387 [SPEAKER_00]: Likewise, the remembrance of Alasukhanoat ala. 00:59.704 --> 01:12.675 [SPEAKER_00]: how many verses there are where we are told to remember Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, the virtues of remembering Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, faith-coronally, as Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's told us. 01:13.376 --> 01:23.264 [SPEAKER_00]: Remember me and I will remember you in the Hadith of N'Abas al-Diyallahu al-Humma, that the prophets of Allah wa Aari wa Aari wa Aari wa Samsid, for the Allah wa Yafadak. 01:23.905 --> 01:27.628 [SPEAKER_00]: The remembrance of Allah and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will remember you. 01:28.662 --> 01:46.213 [SPEAKER_00]: And if a logic of Allah remembers you and I, then you will be upon his protection and his guidance in shah'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a' 01:57.366 --> 02:08.332 [SPEAKER_00]: This being as it is, it doesn't mean that there won't be any challenges, it doesn't mean that there won't be any things that you will face that you need to make decisions upon, absolutely they will. 02:09.313 --> 02:10.413 [SPEAKER_00]: And Shaitan is Haris. 02:11.494 --> 02:16.216 [SPEAKER_00]: Shaitan will do his best to push you in one way or the other. 02:17.077 --> 02:17.477 [SPEAKER_00]: Like what? 02:18.638 --> 02:21.219 [SPEAKER_00]: It may be that what you are doing now is correct. 02:23.020 --> 02:26.042 [SPEAKER_00]: But maybe the Shaitan pushes you to be negligent. 02:26.931 --> 02:32.114 [SPEAKER_00]: things aren't so important, maybe you begin to misunderstand what you should be prioritizing. 02:32.974 --> 02:33.895 [SPEAKER_00]: So you become heedless. 02:35.316 --> 02:37.477 [SPEAKER_00]: Or, for example, you become extreme in a matter. 02:38.538 --> 02:49.584 [SPEAKER_00]: And of course, there are evidences for all of these and one of them, let's say, when there were three individuals from the companions of the messenger, alayhi salatu alam, and they were discussing amongst themselves. 02:50.844 --> 02:54.827 [SPEAKER_00]: Aina Nahanul, the Rasul alayhi salallahu alayhi salam, where are we? 02:55.915 --> 02:57.416 [SPEAKER_00]: from the messenger alaihi satu sallam. 02:58.656 --> 03:03.458 [SPEAKER_00]: So they discussed amongst themselves what they should do or what they could possibly do to improve their situation. 03:04.498 --> 03:08.580 [SPEAKER_00]: And they all discussed that, you know, I won't marry in my life. 03:08.740 --> 03:10.980 [SPEAKER_00]: I will stand every night in prayer, another one. 03:11.021 --> 03:12.961 [SPEAKER_00]: And another one said, I'm gonna fast every day. 03:14.302 --> 03:15.962 [SPEAKER_00]: This of course was an extreme behavior. 03:15.982 --> 03:18.383 [SPEAKER_00]: And when this reached, the Prophet ﷺ, he said to them, 03:24.103 --> 03:30.166 [SPEAKER_00]: that whoever goes against my son and this was an extreme behavior, although on the apparent, it's a bad, it's worship. 03:30.906 --> 03:34.588 [SPEAKER_00]: This was seen as an extreme way of implementing. 03:36.249 --> 03:43.792 [SPEAKER_00]: So the Shepan will try to push you one way or the other, to become heedless or to become overzealous, to become extreme in a matter. 03:44.933 --> 03:48.935 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is something that the Shepan will always try to to push you upon. 03:50.295 --> 03:51.056 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's what it means. 03:52.147 --> 04:01.933 [SPEAKER_00]: to remain upon the straight path, means to be more atadil, it means to be not negligent, more extreme, but to be upon that middle straight path. 04:04.495 --> 04:08.918 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is something we constantly, as I mentioned, asked a lot about the Qur'an to either for. 04:08.938 --> 04:11.319 [SPEAKER_00]: We ask Allah, Allah, to make us from them. 04:11.940 --> 04:17.043 [SPEAKER_00]: Aqul al-Kaliha, they were stuck for Allah, al-Halli, wa l-Lakum, m-Kulidhan, for Staghfirullah, in Nahu'u hu'ul-Gaful-Mahi. 04:31.609 --> 04:37.851 [SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned this, I'm meaning al-istir Rama, because of course we can talk about it in different 04:51.401 --> 05:00.910 [SPEAKER_00]: So knowing it's importance, knowing how to achieve or the path to remaining steadfast. 05:03.272 --> 05:08.017 [SPEAKER_00]: But I also wanted to mention, it's real life impact on you and I. 05:09.218 --> 05:12.001 [SPEAKER_00]: What it means on an out-dally lives as Muslims. 05:13.763 --> 05:16.225 [SPEAKER_00]: And when you wake up tomorrow morning for Salat al-Fajjal. 05:17.230 --> 05:25.532 [SPEAKER_00]: and the responsibilities you have towards your Lord, towards your family, towards your community, towards your society, towards wherever that is. 05:27.473 --> 05:40.557 [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Dean Asteraal, Paul Mustakim, yes, the door art and something that you are constantly saying, but how does that manifest, how does that show in your life as something real to you, something practical for you? 05:46.076 --> 05:52.279 [SPEAKER_00]: During the Treaty of Al-Hudai-Bia, the Prophet ﷺ had a dream. 05:52.679 --> 05:56.461 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you know if you've read the Siyara or the Prophet ﷺ, you know the story. 05:57.202 --> 06:09.108 [SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ had a dream performing Amura, that had been persecuted in Makkah for 13 years, that had made the hijra and were in Medina for a number of years, six years. 06:10.365 --> 06:16.669 [SPEAKER_00]: Seven years, no one had been able to perform Amra to see the kabba very difficult situation. 06:17.109 --> 06:27.155 [SPEAKER_00]: Battles, persecution, oppression, all types of things were happening to the Muslims, very difficult situation. 06:28.375 --> 06:32.117 [SPEAKER_00]: And so the Prophet ﷺ had this dream in performing Amra. 06:33.298 --> 06:37.300 [SPEAKER_00]: So a number of Muslims, they gathered together, 06:40.258 --> 07:09.447 [SPEAKER_00]: Rode Allah wa Anam wasallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sallallahu alu sall 07:10.380 --> 07:12.301 [SPEAKER_00]: what the intention was and to go back. 07:14.423 --> 07:32.617 [SPEAKER_00]: One of these people was Aruwah, Aruwah- Aruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah- Iruwah 07:37.090 --> 07:42.274 [SPEAKER_00]: You split up the tribes and the ranks of the Muslims, but ultimately to turn them away. 07:47.077 --> 08:00.968 [SPEAKER_00]: I want to mention this story a while, because I think this is a reflection and something we can ponder about the importance of remaining firm upon the Dean and its impact on others. 08:02.389 --> 08:03.790 [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, you are the first to benefit. 08:04.758 --> 08:20.611 [SPEAKER_00]: remaining firm upon the Dean of Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al-Al 08:35.484 --> 08:36.824 [SPEAKER_00]: He makes it very clear to them. 08:38.045 --> 08:46.768 [SPEAKER_00]: He says that I have been to see the kings of the Persians, of the Romans, of Annajashii, of the Habashii. 08:46.788 --> 08:47.728 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been to them all. 08:48.789 --> 08:49.409 [SPEAKER_00]: I've seen it all. 08:49.429 --> 08:50.949 [SPEAKER_00]: He's traveled extensively. 08:52.550 --> 08:53.710 [SPEAKER_00]: I have never seen a people. 08:54.510 --> 09:01.993 [SPEAKER_00]: I have never seen a people who love their leader, protect their leader like these people. 09:05.181 --> 09:07.762 [SPEAKER_00]: Between the lines, you can say that these are a steadfast people. 09:08.702 --> 09:09.682 [SPEAKER_00]: These are firm people. 09:10.442 --> 09:13.163 [SPEAKER_00]: There's no way that you're able to turn these people away. 09:13.803 --> 09:27.686 [SPEAKER_00]: He further goes on to explain that when the Prophet Muhammad al-Azza wa-salam when he makes Wudu, they fight over the droplets that fall from the hand of the Prophet ﷺ to wipe themselves with. 09:30.086 --> 09:31.986 [SPEAKER_00]: This is how they are firm. 09:37.260 --> 09:49.870 [SPEAKER_00]: How do you think the Qur'aish they feel when they see such a people, or they saw such a people who were so firm, so steadfast, they were, is impossible to shake these people? 09:50.030 --> 09:50.651 [SPEAKER_00]: Can't do nothing. 09:52.492 --> 09:59.458 [SPEAKER_00]: No doubt they felt disheartened, no doubt they felt at a loss. 10:00.819 --> 10:01.700 [SPEAKER_00]: We have done everything. 10:03.167 --> 10:10.330 [SPEAKER_00]: We have given everything that we possibly can to break these people and we can't do it. 10:11.871 --> 10:12.972 [SPEAKER_00]: Nobody is getting involved. 10:13.092 --> 10:17.894 [SPEAKER_00]: We sought the help of the other tribes, even at the Battle of Ahzab. 10:19.735 --> 10:29.820 [SPEAKER_00]: Manorotuan and all these other tribes, you want originally with us, they all helped us to attack to harm the Muslims in Medina and we were unable to do anything. 10:30.737 --> 10:34.158 [SPEAKER_00]: We could not harm or shake these steadfast people. 10:36.278 --> 10:39.399 [SPEAKER_00]: What do you think that does to the enemy when they see people who are upon the hook? 10:41.579 --> 10:47.301 [SPEAKER_00]: The right steadfast to remain firm, who are not shaken, what does that do to the enemy? 10:51.541 --> 10:53.582 [SPEAKER_00]: This is something that Allah SWT reminds us. 11:00.367 --> 11:03.788 [SPEAKER_00]: You may even see losses during the Battle of Uhud, for example. 11:05.088 --> 11:24.591 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah's Lord cannot remind you of us, or atahinu, or atahazanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, or atahanu, 11:31.757 --> 11:32.557 [SPEAKER_00]: real life terms. 11:34.958 --> 11:43.402 [SPEAKER_00]: Was this something that this steadfastness and remaining firm is something that we read only in the Siyara or in the history books? 11:44.943 --> 11:45.483 [SPEAKER_00]: No, it is not. 11:46.604 --> 11:51.366 [SPEAKER_00]: It is something that know that one day will be written in the history books and we are long gone. 11:52.967 --> 11:53.087 [SPEAKER_00]: That 12:01.167 --> 12:04.309 [SPEAKER_00]: But there was like, the people who were given a free shot. 12:05.310 --> 12:07.072 [SPEAKER_00]: Do whatever you like to a people for two years. 12:08.653 --> 12:12.696 [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever armory or sailor or weaponry you had, you can use it. 12:13.136 --> 12:14.217 [SPEAKER_00]: No one will say nothing to you. 12:15.338 --> 12:15.939 [SPEAKER_00]: Do as you're like. 12:16.599 --> 12:17.900 [SPEAKER_00]: You'll be able to read them. 12:18.561 --> 12:23.044 [SPEAKER_00]: These people have rather as you're like for two years, they gave everything they had. 12:24.665 --> 12:27.868 [SPEAKER_00]: Everything they possibly had in their armory, they gave it and they didn't. 12:29.195 --> 12:35.920 [SPEAKER_00]: only the end of the two years, but of course only to say two years would be a big mistake we're talking about more than 75 by the way. 12:37.381 --> 12:49.671 [SPEAKER_00]: But for the purpose of the example that we're giving, to remain firm, to remain steadfast upon the Dean of Alas or Panoatella, what does that do to a people who are fighting against them? 12:50.812 --> 12:56.877 [SPEAKER_00]: But after two years you don't what you did, then there's a ceasefire, then what happens? 12:58.267 --> 13:08.438 [SPEAKER_00]: moments later, no houses, no food, 85% of the land is completely flattened. 13:09.679 --> 13:18.068 [SPEAKER_00]: You see a stream of hundreds of thousands of people turning to the place that you demolished. 13:20.193 --> 13:22.695 [SPEAKER_00]: What do you think does to the moral of the enemy do that? 13:22.795 --> 13:24.617 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought we would be able to finish them. 13:25.778 --> 13:28.560 [SPEAKER_00]: We thought we were able to get rid of them, to ethnic and he cleans them. 13:30.882 --> 13:36.907 [SPEAKER_00]: A people who remain firm, are people who remain steadfast, you cannot defeat. 13:38.728 --> 13:42.291 [SPEAKER_00]: This is a people who on the side of Allah SWT. 13:44.353 --> 13:46.835 [SPEAKER_00]: And on the other side is the people on the side of Shaitan. 13:47.958 --> 13:50.540 [SPEAKER_00]: You cannot defeat the people of a lot about a Qatailah. 13:52.241 --> 13:55.563 [SPEAKER_00]: And when we're talking about remaining firm, we're talking about remaining steadfast. 13:56.744 --> 13:58.425 [SPEAKER_00]: This is the effort, this is the impact. 14:00.307 --> 14:10.314 [SPEAKER_00]: And that millions of non-Muslims around the world, they look at the people of Razza and they are in a state of awe. 14:12.115 --> 14:13.936 [SPEAKER_00]: The resilience of those people. 14:14.657 --> 14:15.778 [SPEAKER_00]: But what is that resilience? 14:16.744 --> 14:21.045 [SPEAKER_00]: What is that if or what is that sabbat that they have remaining stead? 14:21.085 --> 14:21.565 [SPEAKER_00]: What is it? 14:23.686 --> 14:24.526 [SPEAKER_00]: You think it's just land? 14:26.306 --> 14:27.826 [SPEAKER_00]: You hear what they say, it's not about land. 14:29.147 --> 14:30.007 [SPEAKER_00]: It's about the truth. 14:30.127 --> 14:30.867 [SPEAKER_00]: It's about the huck. 14:31.567 --> 14:34.388 [SPEAKER_00]: It's about remaining close to a loss of panorotayalah. 14:34.408 --> 14:36.048 [SPEAKER_00]: They remember a loss of panorotayalah. 14:36.308 --> 14:37.228 [SPEAKER_00]: They have had losses. 14:37.268 --> 14:37.649 [SPEAKER_00]: Of course. 14:40.269 --> 14:42.370 [SPEAKER_00]: But do not remain or do not be sad. 14:42.410 --> 14:43.810 [SPEAKER_00]: They will end to what they are alone. 14:44.956 --> 14:47.717 [SPEAKER_00]: But you are the uppermost regardless of your situation. 14:49.937 --> 15:04.060 [SPEAKER_00]: This is the effort, this is the impact, real life impact of a people, remaining firm upon the Dean of Alosso Panota Ailer, not compromising, not undermining their own selves, thinking that is an easy way out. 15:04.820 --> 15:04.980 [SPEAKER_00]: No. 15:06.020 --> 15:11.202 [SPEAKER_00]: Turning to Allah, Jalla wa Ailer, holding onto the rope of Alosso Panota Ailer, this is the 15:15.398 --> 15:16.699 [SPEAKER_00]: And we ask Allah SWT to bless us with such a threat. 15:16.719 --> 15:21.341 [SPEAKER_00]: That we ask Allah Jallu ala to allow us to be from those who remain firm, whatever test may come our way. 15:21.401 --> 15:39.169 [SPEAKER_00]: And remembering the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa wa alayhi wa wa alayhi wa wa alayhi wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa 15:41.457 --> 16:04.194 [SPEAKER_00]: Allah Jallu wa l-Alam Muhammadin wa al-Alam Muhammadin wa al-Alam Muhammadin wa al-Alam Muhammadin wa al-Alam Muhammadin wa al-Alam Muhammadin wa al-Alam Muhammadin wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam wa al-Alam 16:14.143 --> 16:38.551 [SPEAKER_00]: Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk al-Yamuk
