 اسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين في مصلاة هو السلام على أشرف الانبياء والمرسلين حبيبي إله العالمين بالقاسم المصطفى محمد وآله الطيبين الطاهرين اللهم صلى على محمد والمحمد يا رب العالمين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته أولاً لدينا هذه الأفضل لتتكلم عن قرآن ورقات أهلبيت عنهم السلام ورقات الله سبحانه وتعالى لتتكلم عن قرآن to bring these lessons that has been driven from the holy verses of Quran and the narrations of the Aheel Bayt into our lives إن شاء الله We are discussing the last verse of Surah Al-Hamd سراطة اللذين أن همت عليهم غير المغضوبي عليهم ولا الضال دين والله guide me to the right path Which path? The path of those whom you have blessed أن تصحبوا أفناء المكتب أو المستقبلة مباشرة في الأن حيث الله سبحان وتعالى تحوني آسحة و تحوال الأنسان الوحيدة حتى يتذكي للدفع و يكطح بأنه سراطل لادينة و أعمت عليهم دفع من النادي التي تبقى نحن نتكلم بأن الله سبحانه وتعالى يجب أن يقوم بشكل كبير لأن عندما نرى هذه الأشياء من الناس who have already been on the right path سنعرف ما يفعله وما يفعله ونقوم بأيب ستباقه حيث يأخذ الله سعيداً ويأخذه أكثر منه إن شاء الله ونحن نأخذ الأشياء من الناس من الناس of the Holy Prophets سراط اللذينة أن عمتة Who are those people that you have blessed what is this blessing that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has blessed us with and has blessed the people that He said you have to follow the path of those who I have blessed what is this blessing number one we look at the Holy Verses of the Qur'an where Allah says أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم ألو تروا أن الله سخر لكم ما في السماوات وما في الأرض وأسبغ عليكم نعمة نعمه وظاهرة وباطنة chapter 31 verse 20 Do you not see that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has disposed for you whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth and has showered you showered upon you His blessing the outward and inward two نعمة two blessings group of blessings one internal inward and one outward many discussions and many lectures can be given about the نعم and the blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى the outward also and the inward and as Allah has said within the Holy Qur'an if we want to start counting the blessings that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has showered us with we won't be able to we won't be able to finish counting it's endless it's infinite blessings that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has showered us with but unfortunately Shaytan comes and make us think about and focus only on the things that we don't have on the blessings that we don't have which can't be counted they are a handful let's say go 100 let's go even higher 1000 blessings that we don't have but if we compare them to the amount of blessings which are eternal which are infinite the amount of blessings that Allah has showered us with we should be always thankful for those blessings and not focus on those نعم and blessings that we don't have which there is benefit if Allah has not bestowed us so much with wealth number one he might be testing us number two he knows us that if he gives us that amount of money we might commit sin we have within the narration that somebody is poor the reason why he is poor because within his poverty he is hopeful and he is believer of Allah and if he is giving wealth he might commit sin and the rich is rich because Allah knows if he goes poor he will commit sin by being unthankful and ungrateful and there are many many reasons why we are who we are and why we have these blessings that we have so we have internal and external blessings amongst them the internal blessings is that Allah has guided us to the right path He has given us nature فطرة which our فطرة takes us to the right path and the external and our intellect internal and the external are the prophets and the imams which these two sync with one another our intellect and our nature plus the outside our prophets and the imams which they sync give hand in hand together to guide us to the right path so everywhere we cast our eyes we see the blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى the inward blessings again faith in Allah prophethood believing in the imams of Ahl-e-Baitah this is a blessing that we have to be really really thankful we have to really appreciate that amongst all of these religions thousands of religions we are the believers of Muhammad and Ahl-e-Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم أجمعين that we are holding inshallah firmly to the path of Ahl-e-Baitah which this is the only path that will lead us to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and we can gain his satisfaction as we talked about it within a previous episode there is only one صرات اهدن صرات guide me to the right path one path to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and that is a path of Muhammad and Ahl-e-Muhammad and it's obvious that نعمة we're talking here and that Allah has bestowed is not about the worldly matters that we're asking Allah سبحانه وتعالى to guide us to the right path to the path that you have bestowed your mercy and that's mercy we're thinking of those people who have wealth and who have luxury life no, that's not the blessings that we are discussing even that is a blessing but that is not what we are thinking أهل-e-Baitah عليه وسلم have directed our attention inshallah to a hadith that we will read so we're not thinking about oh Allah the ones that have fans they're receiving your mercy and the one who don't have any means of for example transportation they don't have your mercy not at all a lot of people that they don't have only they have bare minimum to survive they might be more happy and more satisfied and more content than those who have millions and millions and millions of dollars we do see them they commit suicide and when they've been interviewed some of them they are not happy they are not satisfied they might have smile on their face when they are in front of cameras and we see them that they have a luxury life but internally they are not satisfied internally they are not happy internally they are not happy with their lives the one who are bigger house we're not asking about those people we are not asking the path of those who have been drowned in the wealth and don't see anything else than piling and increasing their wealth actually we are looking at their beauty than our beauty so what are the blessings that Allah is talking about so we're asking Allah to guide us to the right path the path of those people who has blessed what is this blessing and a beautiful narration where Imam says في قول الله Imam is explaining to us what Allah means صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم the path of those people who you have bestowed and you have showered your blessing upon them ايقولوا اهدنا صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم بتوفيق لدينك وطعتك صراط الذين أنعمت means you have أنعمت you have blessed them with what with giving them توفيق توفيق means blessing means that we have the opportunity for example when we get توفيق one kind of توفيق is when you have good kids that's توفيق from Allah it's a blessing when you have a good spouse that's a blessing when you have a good health that's a blessing when you get the opportunity to come and visit the shrines of أهل البيت عليهم السلام within the holy land of Karbala and Qadameen and Samara and Najaf Al-Ashraf that's a blessing but توفيق what to have the blessing what is this blessing لدينك those who have your religion those who are applying your faith those who are religious people number one what I take number two O Allah we are asking you every day minimum 10 times guide us to the path to the path of the people who have who are following your religion who are true truthful in their faith and they are they are showing obedience to you الله سبحانه وتعالى وهم الذين قال الله who are these people who have who are following your religion who are abide by the rules and by the shari'a that you have brought for them and they are obedience they are good servants of yours and they show obedience to you they are اللذين عن عم الله عليهم من النبيين والصديقين والشهداء والصالحين four groups of people are on the right path that we are asking Allah سبحانه وتعالى to guide us to this right path which he has bestowed his blessing and that blessing is that they are showing obedience to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and they are religious following the path of Allah سبحانه وتعالى following the shari'a of Allah سبحانه وتعالى there are four people we read them the same group of people we read them in chapter four verse 69 يطيع الله والرسولة فأولئك مع الذين عن عم الله عليهم من النبيين والصديقين والشهداء والصالحين وحسن أولئك رفيقة الله سبحانه وتعالى ورسول الله في هذه الأسلحة who are those people whoever obeys Allah and the Apostle they are with those whom Allah has blessed صراطه اللذين who are those people الله says chapter four verse 69 those whom Allah has blessed, including the prophets and the truthful and the witnesses and the righteous and excellent companions are they. So there are four groups of people that Allah has mentioned that I, Allah, have bestowed my mercy upon them and we are asking Allah to place us on the path that He has placed these four people on this path. We are asking Allah سبحانه وتعالى. So let's go one after one within these four categories and to see what is explanation, what is the meaning because we want again, we want to be in the right path. Right path, who are on this? Have people been on this right path? Yes. And that's the beauty of it. That we have this assurance, we have this confidence that it's not something acrimonious, something very vague, something very confusing. No, no, it's something vivid and clear path. So already people have been on this path and they have reached salvation and they have reached highest level that they can reach. So we are not alone. It's not something new. It's not something that nobody has gone. That is something we don't know if it's going to get us to the right ending or it will have a bad and dead end. No, it's a path of those people. There are four groups of people that have been on this right path and they have walked on this path. So they've been already there. And Allah has given us the GPS. If you want to be on the right path every day 10 times you say I want to be on the right path. Okay, take this GPS. This GPS, other people have used it. Who are those people from Prophet's Nabiyeen, صديقين the truthful, شوهداء the witnesses and صالحين. So let's go and examine each one of these four groups. Number one, the Prophet's definitely obvious. Nabiyeen, no discussion, no talk about it because we know them according to our narrations. Allah has sent 124,000 prophets starting with Prophet Adam على نبينا وعليه السلام all the way to our Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و آله. And the life that they lived and the examples that we brought in the previous episode what they went through and how much they were firm in their belief no matter what they went through despite the difficulties, despite the challenges but they were firm believers. So prophets. And then وصديقين the truthful Let us pause here. Who are صديقين? We have صادق and we have صديقين صادق as a person who is truthful in his talk. He will not lie whatever he says he is truthful in his statement that he makes. This person is called صادق. الله سبحانه وتعالى And here he is talking about صديقين the truthful صديقين are those people who their action and what they say matches whatever they say matches their heart and what they believe and whatever they believe matches what they say both of them matches. So let us think about it let us pause here. How many of us let me examine myself I Mustafa How much truthful I am into what I believe and my action because a lot of things I might do in the public that I don't believe truly genuinely but I do it since basically again I bring my own example I'm a religious scholar people are looking at me well I have to be a good role model I don't believe it that much but due to the respect that I want from the people due to the position that I have within the community I'll do what I do. So let me examine myself how much of this action of mine that is present and people can see sinks and matches what I believe inside is it 100% together 100% what I believe matches 100% of my action or no what I do it looks very nice and 100% good and everybody masha'Allah very good nice they clap for me and appreciate me and thanks to me but in my heart I believe 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% there's more to this and what do we mean more insha'Allah we will leave it for the next episode insha'Allah we will conclude this episode as we have done it in every episode and asking Allah SWT Thursday night that we are recording for you and within the vicinity and the shrines of Imam Hussain asking by the blessing of Imam Hussain أنا بالفضل أباز asking Allah SWT to hasten the reappearance of our beloved Imam مهدي عجل الله تعالى let us read together raise your hand and ask Allah SWT beg sincerely and genuinely for Allah to hasten his reappearance بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اللهم كل وديك الحجة ابن الحسان صلواتك عليه وعلى آبائه في هذه الساعة وفي كل ساعة وليا وحافظا وقائدا وناصرة ودليلا وعينا حتى تسكنه واردك طوعا وتمتعه فيها طويلة برحمتك يا أرحم الرحمين
