 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما ذاته إن شاء الله تعالى today we're going to be starting a new series إن شاء الله تعالى في هذه السنة بإذن الله الكريم أريد أن أخبرك بالمشيئة إلا الله سبحانه وتعالى أريد أن أتحدث عن how a man can affect a person's life and how a man changed the lives of great people أريد أن أتحدث عن the things that caused the a man to increase and decrease لذا أتحدث عن my lecture in 3 إن شاء الله تعالى في today's episode بإذن الله الكريم is an introduction في هذه المشيئة إن شاء الله تعالى أريد أن أتحدث عن the benefits that a person receives from a man ما هو مشيئة أكثر لو أن أتحدث عنه بإذن الله في هذا العالم وفي هناك في today's introduction that's what I'm going to talk about. I'm also going to speak about the second thing I'm going to speak about in the introduction is there are many people who claim Eman. We say I'm a believer. Eman to claim it is something. And to be a believer and a believer is something else. Claiming is the easiest thing that a person can do. So I'm going to speak about the true believers of Allah and I'm also going to speak about the hypocrites who claim Eman but are really not مؤمنين. They are far from being believers. That is what I'm going to discuss and I'm going to cover in today's introduction. Let me inshallah start with mentioning the benefits that are in Eman. And these tamarat these benefits that are in Eman are going to be benefits in this world and benefits in the hereafter. The first inshallah is the person who comes with Eman who has Eman. That individual or that person they are going to receive الامن والامان. They're going to receive safety and they are going to receive بايدة إيمان that they've come with distance from harm or any problems. الله سبحانه وتعالى يسالن القرآن. This is the first one. الله سبحانه وتعالى يسالن القرآن. الذين آمنوا ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بظلم أولائك لهم الامن وهم مهتدون. الله سبحانه وتعالى يساد. الذين آمنوا دو سوف come with إيمان. الذين آمنوا. ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بظلم. And they do not. They do not clothe. They're iman with shirk. Because the word ظلم in here means shirk. As the Prophet ﷺ explained it. When the Sahabas asked him and they said او مسجد الله. أيونة لم يضلم نفسه. Which from amongst us has not oppressed himself. And then the Prophet said no. The ظلم in this ayah is the same as the ظلم ينصورة اللقمان. He said. ألم تسمعوا. Did you not hear the statement of لقمان الحكيم? What did the ظلم say? الله تبارك وتعالى. He said. That the ظلم said. وإذ قال لقمان لبنه وهو يعيضه يا بنية. لا تشارك بالله. إن الشرك لظلم عظيم. شرك is the greatest form of oppression. So. الذين آمنوا ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بظلم in here means shirk. So the person who comes with the إيمان and the إيمان is not clothed with shirk. أولائك لهم الأمن. الله says those people are going to receive أمن and safety. وهم اختدون. And they are the guided ones. So. الإيمان والهداية. Safety and guidance are for the people of إيمان. The مؤمن. إيمان أقول لأهل السنة والجماعة is. قولون a speech. قولون على اللسان. قولو في اللسان. It's a call on its speech that is started and it's mentioned on the tongue. يعني it's speech on the tongue. It is also عملون. It is an action على الجوارحة on the limbs. And it is also إيمان يزيدو بالطاعة وينقصو بالمعصية. It increases and decreases. إيمان is قولة العمل. It is the speech of the heart and it is also the speech of the tongue. It is also the action of the heart and it is also the actions of the limbs. Those four. And it increases and decreases. It increases in the obedience of Allah and it decreases in the obedience of the Shaytan. It increases in the obedience of Allah and it decreases in the obedience of the Shaytan. So these people اللذين آمنوا these who believed اللي is mentioned here اللذين آمنوا ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بالظلم. أولئك لهم الأمن وهم مهتدون is referring to a people who stated the Eman on their tongue and they believed it in their hearts عن it manifested on their limbs. The second benefit that a person will receive the second benefit that you see in الإيمان is الحياة الطيبة you're going to live a good life الحياة الطيبة وطمقنينة القلوب and the tranquility of the hearts comes from it and this is not for ولا يكونوا إلا لأهل الإيمان الحياة الطيبة وطمقنينة القلوب the good life and the tranquility of the heart is only for the believers those are the ones who Allah تعالى those in the Quran they're going to receive it The good life الله تعالى يسألني آية من عمل صالح من ذكر أو أنث وهو المؤمن فلا نحيانه حياة طيبة ولا نجزي أنهم أدرهم بيحسن ما كان يعملون الله يقول any man or woman who comes with righteous action that person does righteous action من عمل صالح من ذكر أو أنث وهو مؤمنون but with the condition that that person is a believer فلا نحيانه حياة طيبة الله is going to give you a good life the good life is connected to your إيمان ولا نجزي أنهم أدرهم بيحسن ما كان يعملون and Allah is going to reward you سبحانه وتعالى in the best that you used to do افتحوا هنا إيمان is the key to a good life if you're trying to attain a good life if you're trying to achieve a happy life a prosperous life if that's what you're looking for and you're not looking for it through إيمان then you're looking for it in the wrong places and you will never find it happiness is in الإيمان و بالله believing in Allah و داركة that's why we say الحياة الطيبة و طمانينة القلوب لا يقول إلا لأهل الإيمان ممارزة always remember that a good life and the tranquility of the heart is only for the believers I've mentioned the evidence for a good life what about the evidence is for a tranquility the tranquility of the heart الله تعالى قال الذين آمن وتطمئن قلوبهم لذكر الله على بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب الذين آمن وتطمئن قلوبهم بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب this ayah clearly shows us and tells us that those who believe الذين آمن وتطمئن the ones who believe who've come with iman they're the ones what Allah is going to give them tranquility of the heart they are going to receive tranquility طمانينة that's where they're going to receive it و داركة بعض السلف this story this statement actually was mentioned by was mentioned by two imams من آيمة السلف it was mentioned that ابراهيم ابنو أدهم and Abu Yusuf they both went out with each other one day and when they went they went to the ocean and they both had two piece of bread Abu Yusuf and ابراهيم ابنو أدهم were dipping their bread into the ocean into the sea and they didn't have soup they didn't have anything else to eat with it they just have two dry breads and they both started to take the breads and started to dip it into the ocean into the sea so when it becomes soft so they can chew it and they can eat it they said to each other ابراهيم ابنو أدهم said to Abu Yusuf he said to him لو علم الملوك و ابناء الملوك ما نحن فيه من النعيم والسرور لجالدون عريه بالسيوف he said لو علم الملوك if the the kings and the children of the kings were to know the happiness that we have the tranquility that we have the joy that we have they knew that the bliss and the blessings of Allah that we have the النعيم the سرور the happiness and the blessings of Allah that we have if they knew it the kings and the children of the kings would know what they do they would come out with their swords and they would try to take that away from us they would try to take away from us the happiness and the joy and the comfort and the goodness that we have I'm asking you all a question every one of you who's watching and listening we have these two imams they don't have anything they have no wealth they have no money they are dipping their bread into the ocean into the sea and what are they doing they don't they don't have meat to eat with it مع ذلك with that said they are they believe that they have happiness they believe that they have joy and that is true they do have it but the happiness that they are referring to and the joy that they are referring to and the blessing that they are referring to is that is a happiness that nothing can buy و لذلك الشيخ الاسلام ابن تيميا he said إن في الدنيا جنة ما لم يدخلها لم يدخل جنة الأخرى ابن تيميا said that in this dunya there is a jannah if you do not enter the jannah of this dunya you will not enter the jannah of the hereafter and Shaykh الاسلام تيميا mentioned the jannah of this dunya well it is what is it brothers and sisters it is الإيمان بالله it is to believe in Allah سبحانه و تعالى believing in Allah سبحانه و تعالى is jannah in this world how is it a jannah in this world because it is what brings about الحياة الطيبة وطمانينة القلوب it is what brings about a good life it is what brings about the tranquility of the hearts that is what Allah تعالى mentioned in those two verses that I gave من أعمل صالحة من دكة لنأونها وهو مؤمن فلنف ينه حياتا طيبة ولا نجز ينه ونجلهم بيحسن ما كانوا يعملون الآية أن الله تعالى يسد الذين آمن وتطمئنوا قلوب ومن ذكر إله لا بذكر إله تطمئنوا القلوب الآية the third benefit that the believers receive when they have when they come with الإيمان الإيمان بالله is الشيطان وليس له سلطان وعلى أهل الإيمان Shaytan has no strength and no power over them the people of الإيمان Shaytan has no power over them the believers Shaytan has no power over them لسوى الله سبحانه وتعالى سنة آية إنه ليس له سلطان على الذين آمن وعلى ربهم يتوكلون إنما سلطان هو على الذين يتولونه والذينهم بهي مشركول Shaytan he has no power over the believers إنه ليس له سلطان على الذين آمن وعلى ربهم يتوكلون the ones who are believers of Allah and the ones who rely on Allah alone he has no power over those people إنه ما سلطان هو the ones he has power over the people he controls the people he can subjugate are who على الذين يتولونه the ones that take Shaytan is their ally those are the ones he's got control over those are the ones who you tend to see every now and then struggling and crying over their desires and the lack of ability to overcome their addiction those are the people who have control over as for the المؤمن الصادق the truthful believer there's no power over them if he comes to that believer and tries to misguide him all that believer does he says أعود بالله he has the strength and the iman the fourth benefit that is in الإيمان و بالله the benefit that you get from believing in Allah my beloved brothers and sisters is اللهم اللهم سبحانه وتعالى he is the one who defends the believers the believers are defended by Allah Allah protects them سبحانه وتعالى he takes care of them they are under حماية الله Allah's protection that's what Allah سبحانه وتعالى he said in the Quran إن الله يدافع عن اللدي لأامن Allah defends the believers he didn't say he defends the non-Muslims he said I defend the believers that's the characteristics he mentioned إن الله تبارك وتعالى he said ألا إن أولياء الله لا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون الذين أامنوا الذين أامنوا وكانوا يتقول الله mentions ألا إن أولياء الله لا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون that the ألا إيزا فالله هو that the ألا إيزا فالله الذين أامنوا those who have come with iman and they've also come with وقتقوا the people keep the iman التقوا they're the allies of Allah أولياء الله and Allah mentions to us what that there's no fear there's nothing they need to be scared of يعني why are you scared الله is protecting you لهم وعقباتهم من بين يدي ومن خلفي يحفظونهم من أمر الله you have you're protected from the front and you're protected from the back you're protected from all directions no one can harm you no one can cause you harm rather anyone who tries to harm you because you're the أولياء الله anyone who tries to harm you الله تبارك وتعالى will be in direct war with that person that's why the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and told us in the حديث القدسي من عادا لي وليا فقد آدان تول بالحرب anyone who shows enmity and hate towards my allies that person is in direct war with Allah I ask you guys a rhetorical question that doesn't even need anyone to answer it because it's obvious and it's well known who would win in a battle between Allah and the creation who's going to win the creator or the created who's going to win the creator is going to win الله سبحانه وتعالى so the believers أهلو الإيمان the people who believe in الله سبحانه وتعالى who have the true إيمان that is needed from them الله will defend them and if people slander you people criticize you even if people plot and plan against you because you're a true مؤمن Allah is going to protect you سبحانه وتعالى you are under the آية you fall under the آية إن الله يدافع عن الذين آمنوا you also fall under the آية ألا إن أولياء الله لا خوف عليهم ولهم يحزنون الذين آمنوا وكانوا يتقون you also fall under حديث القدسي من عادة من عادة ليوليا فقد أقدنته بالحرب the fifth benefit that you get from believing إن الله سبحانه وتعالى is the أجر العظيم you're going to get a lot of reward in believing إن الله سبحانه وتعالى you're also going to get والبشر يوم القيامة you're going to receive God hides the day of judgment and that is specifically أهل الإيمان only for the believers That's what Allah تباركة عليه سني آية وسوف يؤتله المؤمنين أجر العظيم Allah is going to give to the believers a lot of reward specific for the believers they're going to receive what they're going to receive أجر العظيم great reward وسوف يؤتله المؤمنين الله is going to give to the believers no one else what is he going to give them الله is going to give them what أجر العظيم and great reward also الله تباركة عليه he says وبشر المؤمنين بأن لهم من الله فضلا كبير give glad tidings to the believers that the day of judgment they are going to receive what they are going to receive فضلا كبير great virtue from their Lord الله سبحانه وتعالى great reward glad tidings great reward all of that is for the believers يوم القيامة look at the benefits that you get in this world look at what you get the day of judgment in this world you're going to live a good life in this world you're going to find tranquility you know and the day of judgment nothing to worry about don't be scared don't be concerned don't feel sad you're reassured that your place is going to be جنة and what is better than جنة the sixth benefit in coming with الإيمان وباللهي سبحانه وتعالى is الأخوة الصادقة true brotherhood and true sisterhood and الاتحاد to be united والاعتصام all of that comes what it comes في ظل الإيمان under the shade of an iman under this term الإيمان people of different countries people of different ethnicities and background people of different colors people of different tribes all of them become brothers and sisters they become what brothers and sisters that's what Allah سبحانه وتعالى He said إنما المؤمنون إخوة that the believers are brothers they are sisters إنما المؤمنون إخوة the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم يسانين حديث المسلم أخ المسلم the prophet also said صلى الله عليه وسلم المؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان يشد بعضه بعضها the prophet also said مثل المؤمنين في تواديهم وتراحمهم وتعاطفهم كمثل جسد واحد إذا اشتكى من العضون تدعى سائر الجسد بالسحر والحمة the prophet also said عليه الصلاة المؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان يشد بعضه بعضها the believers that's what they are towards each other they are one body they are like a building cemented together يشد بعضه بعضهم they strengthen one another they are to each other the believers that if one person is suffering or one person is going through hardship or one group of people are suffering the whole entire ummah feel the pain of those people because they become like one body المؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان مثل المؤمنين في تواديهم وتراحمهم وتعاطفهم كمثل جسد واحد you're like one body one body that if your finger today was hurting you and you wanted to go to sleep you can't your eyes cannot sleep because of the finger that's the believer the way they are towards each other they feel each other's pain these six that I just mentioned are the six benefits that you receive if you believe in Allah SWT that does not mean that these are the only six that you get there are many more but I already mentioned some the second thing that I wanted to speak about in this introduction is إيمان is claimed by many people there are many people come and say that I'm a believer I believe in Allah I'm a مؤمن what I want to say to you my beloved brother and sisters is the statement of Hassan Al-Basri who said he said ليس الإيمان بالتحلي ولا بالتمنى ولكنه ما وقر في القلب وصدقته العمل إيمان محسن البصري he said إيمان is not just a تمنى wishful thinking and إيمان is not something you beautify yourself with and you dress you clothe yourself and you no إيمان is something that settles in the heart and it's then something that shows on your limbs it manifests on your limbs it goes into your heart and then it shows on your limbs it's not just oh it's in my heart I've got a good heart no it goes into your heart and then it shows on your limbs that's the truth the woman that's not wearing hijab the man who's shaving his beard these people lack إيمان there is a deficiency in your إيمان your إيمان is reduced the إيمان is branches branches الإيمان وضعن وسبعون الشعبة علىها قول لا إله إلا الله وأدنها إيماطة الأدى عن الطريق والحياء الشعبة من الإيمان إيمان is branches from the branches of the إيمان is to cover yourself and conceal yourself my beloved brothers and sisters understand my beloved sisters to conceal yourself and cover yourself and where the hijab is a branch from the branches of the الإيمان and so if you do not cover yourself properly and the way that the sharia is legislated you are missing a branch of an إيمان your إيمان is reduced and it distances you from Allah سبحانه وتعالى the same with the brother who shaves that individual's إيمان is reduced and it is reduced in accordance to whichever disobedience that you come with so إيمان as I mentioned is not a claim it's not a دعوة إذا دعوة ما لم تقيمة ببئينات الأبناء وهاجعية with the claims that we come with we have to bring evidences for it we have to back up our claims and our statements الله سبحانه وتعالى سنة القرآن ومن الناس من يقول آمننا بالله هو باليوم الآخر وما هم بمؤمنين يخادعون الله والذين آمن وما يخطعون إلا أنفسه وما يشعرون في قلوبهم مرض فزادهم الله مرض there are people ومن الناس من يقول آمننا بالله وباليوم الآخر وما هم بمؤمنين there are people who claim that they believe in Allah that they believe in the day of judgment they believe in the angel they claim they believe in that حني they are claiming it الله سبحانه وتعالى what does he say وما هم بمؤمنين these people are not believers they are not believers however much they scream I'm a believer I'm a believer however much he tries to hang around with the believers he's a منافق معلوم النفق he's a hypocrite known for his hypocrisy ايمان is not just a claim so here insha'Allah in the second part of my introduction I want to speak about two situations I'm a two examples that distinguish the منافق from the مؤمن المؤمن الصادق the truthful believer and the hypocrite what is it that distinguishes them الله when we claimed ايمان and we said we are believers الله سبحانه وتعالى he tested us to know which of those two groups we're going to be from الله سبحانه وتعالى ايها حاسب الناس ان يتركوا ان يقولوا اهمنا وهم لا يستنون ولقد فتنوا الذين من قبلهم فلا يعلم ان الله والذين صدقوا ولا يعلم ان الكائدين الله says did the people actually think that when they say I'm a believer and I've come with ايمان did they really think that Allah is going to let them go and just just take your claim for it no when you say I'm a believer okay you're going to be tested that statement of yours which is I am a believer would be put to the test for what if you're truthful or if you're a liar if you're truthful then you are a mu'min and if you're a liar then you're a munafiq you're a munafiq because you're claiming ايمان but you don't really have it you're a hypocrite you're a hypocrite so let's ان شاء الله تعالى see the signs to distinguish that Allah سبحانه وتعالى mentioned in the Quran that distinguishes it is the حد الفاصل is مفرق طرق between the munafiq and the mu'min the first one is the believer when he is called to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and he said Allah and his messenger have said this in this issue Allah who سبحانه وتعالى judged it in this way this is what Allah who سبحانه وتعالى and his messenger have said this is the قضى من عند الله this is the judgment of Allah and his messenger the believer what does he do and what does the hypocrite do Allah تعالى تعالى تعالى تعالى تعالى he says إنما كان قول المؤمنين إذا دعوا إلى الله ورسولي ليحكوم بينهم أن يقولوا سمعنا وأطعنا وأولئك هم المفلحون الله سبحانه وتعالى he said إنما كان قول المؤمنين the statement of the believers the mu'minin إذا دعوا إلى الله ورسولي إذا دعوا إلى الله ورسولي there is an issue that is outstanding the believer has a conflict with another believer there is a conflict between two believers both of the believers are told Allah and his messenger have a judgment in this issue both of the believers because they love Allah because they love the messenger what do they say سمعنا وأطعنا we hear what Allah says we obey what Allah and his messenger say we hear and we obey Allah and his messenger what does Allah say in this issue I hear and I obey the other one says what did Allah say in this issue and his messenger I hear and I obey because of the iman they listen and they obey what Allah says that is what Allah mentioned in the ayah that the people who do not accept the judgment of Allah and his messenger are not believers فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم ثم لا يجدو في أنفسهم فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم that they are not true believers they are not true believers the people when you tell them Allah and his messenger say and they don't accept it they don't surrender the minute you say to them Allah and his messenger say they say you know what get out of here are you truly going to just mention these verses like that to me whatever whatever you say to them Allah and his messenger say they always have an excuse they have an argument يعني ده هوا and their desires is what governs them that's not what the believers are like my beloved brothers and sisters the mu'min is not like that the mu'min what did Allah mention about them سميعنا واطعنا وأولئك هوم المفلحون I hear and I obey whether it goes according to my nefs or whether it doesn't I hear and I obey let's look at the munafiqin how are they like when Allah and his messenger are mentioned so you and I can know where we stand where we stand with the Quran where do we stand with the munafiqin or with the believers this is when we should be scared and worried all of us should be scared all of us this is where we get scared الله سبحانه وتعالى يقولون أمن بالله وبالرسول واطعنا ثم يتولى فريق منهم من بعد ذلك ومأولئك بالمؤمنين وإذا دعووا إلى الله ورسول يحكم بينهم إذا فريق منهم معرضون الله تبارك يقول في قلوب مرض أمرتاب أم يخافون أن يحيف الله عليهم رسوله بل أولئك بل أولئك هوم الكافرون الله تبارك تعالى يقولون they say the munafiqin أمن بالله وبالرسول واطعنا we believe in Allah and we obey them they say it like that ثم يتولى فريق منهم من بعد ذلك after that when the judgment of Allah is passed in the issue those are not believers those are not believers وإذا دعووا إلى الله ورسولي يحكم بينهم when they are called to Allah and He is messenger when the sister is told this is what Allah said about the hijab when the brother is told this is what Allah said about the the bed this is what Allah said about the salah this is what Allah سبحانه وتعالى said about this particular situation what is the munafiq say وإذا دعووا رسولي يحكم بينهم إذا فريق منهم وعريضون a group of them turn away they turn their back they don't listen they don't adhere they don't want to see what Allah and His messenger just say in this situation الله says وإيا كلهم الحق يأتوا إلهي مدغنين أفي قلوبه مرض they are sick people these are sick people they are not healthy people they are a sick group of people who choose to disobey Allah and His messenger إنه دعا الله تباركوا تعالى وإذا قيل لهم تعالوا إلى ما أنزل الله وإلا رسولي رايت المنافقين يصدون عنك صودودة when they call to Allah and His messenger the Qur'an and the Sunnah they told about it الله says رايت المنافقين يصدون عنك صودودة you see that the the munafiq he turns his back and he's running away he doesn't want to hear all of that in the 21st century brother wake up get your head out of the sun this is a statement so you hear from them أخي are you truly just going to mumble those same آيات أخي we used to hear this in the 90s man get over that man life has changed keep up with the world be progressed are you really that dimwitted they insult you they belittle you like in believers hold on to your book hold on to the Sunnah والله they're going to know one day one day they're going to know that the path that they're treading on the path that they're taking والله they're harming no one except themselves they are going to destroy themselves والله many of them are living upon depression and stress and sadness many of them are dwelling over harms and problems that's the truth of their life they are missing the the tranquility that we're talking about the munafiq والله he doesn't find joy the second situation that والله the munafiq and the believer is when they are in the battlefield when the the jihad and the battlefield it's it's happening the believers they're steadfast they don't run they believe in Allah and Allah mentioned me والما رأى المؤمنون الأحزابة قالوا هذا ما وعدن الله ورسوله وصدق الله ورسوله وما زادهم إلا إيمان وتسليمه look at the believers when they saw the army والما رأى المؤمنون الأحزابة قالوا هذا ما وعدن الله ورسوله this is when Allah this is the promise that was told to us by Allah and his messenger that's what they say the believers والما رأى المؤمنون الأحزابة قالوا هذا ما وعدن الله ورسوله وصدق الله ورسوله and his messenger have told the truth وما زادهم إلا إيمان وتسليمه إيمان has increased for them and submission they just submit submit submit past the believers وربدا منفقين ويدقول المنافقون ويستادين فريق منهم النبي يقولون إن بيوتنا عورة وما هي بيعورة يريدون إلا فرارة يعني المنافق يقول الله ورسوله this is what they promised us this is nothing but deception يعني and does not submit all he wants is to run away from the battle المنافق and the believers are never the same and I've mentioned enough for you to comprehend to take on board anything which I have said that was wrong incorrect is from me and shaitan and Allah his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم ورحمدك أشدو الله إله إلا الله أستغفرك وأعطوه إليك السلام عليكم if you're enjoying these videos and you'd like to keep up to date with all of the courses we're
