 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إن الحمد لله سبباً كل أساسة ورقصة يتبقى الله سبحانه وتعالى نحمده لذلك ونقوم بأساسه ونستعينه ونسأل لك ونسأل لأساسة ونتوكول عليه ونعود بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا ما يهده الله فلا مغلله وما يغلل فلا هدية له ونشهدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له ونشهدوا أن محمد عبده رسوله الله يقول فيه أعود بالله من الشيطان الرجيم يا إيه الذين أامنوا بليورز اتقوا الله بمعنفله فالله بأوهار الله حق تقاته وهي تتبقى ولا تموتنا إلا وأنتم مسلمون لا تتبقوا لا تتبقوا أنتم ليس مسلمون اللن أمر أخبرت محمد مع المعودة أنها، صón أحي عيش في الشهر و shadey ما يهده مهمة أمر أخبرت محمد أنا أخبرت أنه ليس سيئ بشكل سيئ لقد أتأكد من خضب وأمام قد سألته للخضب في هذا اليوم 30 وانه رئيس رئيس شيء which is which is what I'm gonna talk about simply simple example for you he said at this but today he said our way out is to be attached to the Quran Quran is our way out so think about that our way out is Quran we'll talk about that what that means and also last night he said something really interesting he said all the atrocities that we feel that is upon humanity upon Muslims or humanity is our own doing we need to take account we need to take responsibility for what we do because that's a direct result of it collectively so understand something I want to clarify Islam doesn't collectively punish because of because of the actions of one that's not what it is collectively all of us which brings me to this ayah that I'm about to discuss I've talked about this many times in a خدبة as an outside of خدبة but it's it's gonna serve us as a quick reminder again إن شاء الله عود بالله من الشيطان الرجيم الله says the following in a سورة الحديد ألم يأني للذين آمنوا أن تخشع قلوبهم لذكر الله we should do a lesson a Friday night lesson on this سورة الحديد beginning until you get to this ayah oh it's phenomenal it's it doesn't you don't get the juices if I just translate this ayah for you if you don't understand all the ayah prior to this one it's amazing we should do that a Friday night gathering or something but here's what Allah says not knowing the background not knowing all the other things I'm just trying to do my best الله says ألم يأني للذين آمنوا أن تخشع قلوبهم لذكر الله الله's complaining he's saying isn't a time isn't a time hasn't a time passed for all of you for all of you to have your heart in a state of humbleness for what لذكر الله what is the ذكر الله which is really puzzling to me for the remembrance of Allah Allah doesn't even say for the Quran for the revelation for what you have at your hand doesn't say that why it makes you feel like you have forgotten even the name of Quran الله says لذكر الله isn't a time that you humble yourself that you understand it that you ponder it that you think about it it is the way out for you for the challenges that you face the challenges that you see on a daily basis and then Allah goes on and says and don't become like those Allah gives you an example so in the Quran there are examples what do you think the point of an example is example from history if you and I are not learning from history what is the point of history I'm from Afghanistan so somebody way back when asked me what do you think about us's involvement in Afghanistan my response was very simple I said well when do you think us learn something from history if you don't learn something from history you keep on doing the same thing over and over and over again الله is giving you this in the Quran these lessons for you and I to ponder to take a lesson from Allah says don't become like those they were studying just like you they were the chosen people they had revelation they had prophets they had everything for them and guess what they did they became lazy with it they became comfortable with it they didn't even think about it they took it for ritualistic aspects only they didn't take as if this is your life belongs to this your survival depends on this they did not take it like that that's all you look at our state be honest look at our state this is exactly what it is we are very comfortable with what we do we take this revelation this book all those beautiful things as ritualistic things let me tell you something that I was pondering with a current situation let me give you an example it's not part of the thing but I'm going to make it quick those of you who follow basketball football any sports any group sports team sports how do you think the coach wins against the other team what do you think the coach does or the team do the opponent constantly they watch the videos they look at every single thing they have published every single thing they do they look at it they study it so hard so that they will beat them at their own game Quran has exactly that for you and I exactly that outlined that you want to win here's the history here's what people before you did here's what those who had strategized those who were oppressors those who were genocidal whatever they are this is their strategy you got to learn that how to tackle that cannot be reactive Allah says وَلَا يَكُونَكَ الَّذِينَ وُتَالْكِتَابِينَ فَا طَالَا عَلَيْهِمَ الْأَمَدُوِ فَا قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَا كَتِيرُمْ مِنْ هُمْ فَا أَسِقُونِ those who received this incredible gift now you and I have received this incredible gift the last one they became just lazy with it they just like you know it's all good I'll carry my life the way I want to when I reach a fork I will think about it and what is comfortable I'll pick that not what has been guided for me to do because that will go that I will contradict to what I need to do to my success to my finances to my political aspiration whatever that thing is will take the other route and be comfortable with it that's what it is because what happens فَا قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ their heart becomes hard now some of you might think or some of those who are attacking us our faith say what do you mean your heart becomes hard when I take that heart and do biopsy whatever it is do the test same soft flush doesn't matter whether it's a believer or non-believer that's not what Allah is talking about there's a light in the heart that has been diminished if that light is diminished that light this light that we are reading the Quran the revelation is not going to penetrate and it's not going to penetrate what do you think is going to happen we become just relaxed things will have no impact on us Allah is warning you and I don't become like those people they had this incredible gift the survival tool that they did whatever they did for you and I to be successful in anything that we do for Muslims for humanity that's the only option the other option gives you temporarily success we need to decide is that what we want Allah gives you a way out إن الله يحل الأرض بعد ماوتها قد بي أنا لكم الأعاتي لعلكم تعقلون it's not too late Allah says it's not too late it's not too late for the heart that is just flickering it's not completely dead you got to reach to this you got to understand the strategies got to get a lesson let me sit for a few seconds make dua please make dua just take this moment إن الله إن الحمد لله الصلاة والسلام علي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم one other thing that we have on our hands is dua right supplication asking Allah ask Allah for sincerity but do your work do your part do your job get close to this it's a monumental task it is not a simple thing we could be discouraged tackling Quran is not a simple thing but you got to be in the company of those who know it be attached with them learn from them create your own groups it's the only way you can do it this is a lifelong journey it is not something that you can do it in one semester in a college or a few Friday night حلقات you think you got it that's not how it works get close to this Allah says in his book صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم As when you are praying for Abraham صلى الله عليه وسلم إنك حميد مجيد بارك على محمد وعلى آله محمد وعلى آله إبراحيم وعلى آله إبراحيم إنك حميد مجيد ربنا لا توأخذنا النسينا وخطأنا ربنا ولا تحمل علينا عصرا كما حملت هو علي الذين من قبلنا ربنا ولا تحملنا وعفو عنا واغفل لنا ورحمنا أنت مولانا فانصرنا على القوم الكافرين أمين سيكرت to success الله is elsewhere in the Qur'an one of the places إن الله يأمر بالعدي والإحسان وإيطاء للقربة سيكرت to success is سنة النحم 16 آي number 90 this is what I'm reciting to you there are three things الله says immediately they will bring you these success that you need what are those three things إن الله يأمر بالعدي والإحسان وإيطاء للقربة those are the three things and some of you sitting there is like what does that mean that means you need to go to chapter 16 number 90 and look at it and read it and Allah says the things that will destroy your success are the other three things وينه على الفحشاء والمنكة والبعي those are the three things that's going to kill your success or what does that mean that means 1690 that's what you're going to go after the Friday and look at it and read it and contemplate and think about it and if you have questions ask someone who knows إن الله يأمر بالعدي والإحسان وإيطاء للقربة وينه على الفحشاء والمنكة والبغية عيدكم لعلكم تذكرون وقل مصر
