 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ آيَاتُهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُهُ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُهُ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشدو الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له نقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وأشدو أن محمد عبده ورسوله صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى في today's episode I want to carry on speaking about المحاسبة لنفس accounting yourself looking and pondering over and contemplating on what you say and what you do from the ways إن شاء الله تعالى that you could do محاسبة لنفس it's for the person to look at their own actions in which you do daily and those which you have to do at night you think about them and you ask yourself this question و هل هذه الأعمال يسره و يلق الله سبحانه وتعالى بها أم لا يعني you ask yourself this question these actions that you're doing هل هذه الأعمال these actions that you're doing يسره و يلق الله سبحانه وتعالى بها أم لا is it something that you know that it will please Allah when you meet them meet him يوم القيامة that's a question you need to ask yourself so for example you look at your actions starting from the obligatory acts the واجبات the things which are obligatory once you've looked at that if that's intact when it's good then you move onto فيما يتعلق بالمنهيات the things that are prohibited the things الله تعالى وتعالى يتعلق بالمنهيات سبحانه وتعالى upon his slaves and then the person after looking at the prohibited you move on to the third which is الرغائب والمستحبات you look at the recommended acts of worship okay where are you in regards to that are you fasting Mondays and Thursdays are you praying voluntary prayers okay that's called المحاسبة بالدرجة you are pondering and you're thinking and you're contemplating based on levels so you started from the واجبات am I doing the واجبات yes الحمد لله that's good now that you say second thing that you say is am I staying away from the prohibited acts or speeches am I staying away from it if you say yes to that then your third question you ask yourself is what about the الرغائب والمستحبات the recommended acts what about those where are you in regards to that once you do that you're إن شاء الله تعالى upon a path which is يعني good and you're heading towards the right direction okay the obligatory acts are are a lot and when you look at the obligatory acts you first will look at your صلاة that الله تبارك وتعالى made obligatory on you are you doing the Salahs that you're praying this is محاسبة do I pray my Salah بشروطها with its conditions am I praying the Salah with its أرقان the pillars that are in the prayer that I need to come with am I coming with it and then you say the Salah that I pray am I doing the واجبات you ask yourself the Salah that I'm praying am I doing it في أوقاتها in its timing and also you ask yourself these Salahs that I'm praying am I doing them مع جماعة المسلمين am I doing with the Muslims يعني ألمام ابن القيب said something very powerful regarding the Salah and the person needs to really internalize what he said رحمه الله in his Kitab أسراره الصلاة ابن القيب رحمه الله he said لا ريب أن الصلاة قرّة عيون المحبين ولذة أرواح الموحدين وبستان العابدين ولذة نفوس الخاشعين وبحق أحوال الصادقين وميزان وأحوال السالكين وهي رحمة الله المهدات يعيلا عباده المؤمنين That's what the Salah is to the believers It is what brings warmth to their eyes قرّة عيون المحبين Those who love the prayer when they pray they find warmth and comfort and tranquility and ease ولذة أرواح الموحدين It's the sweetness of the spirits and the soul of the ones who only worship Allah تبارك وتعالى It is the بستان العابدين It's the garden of the worshippers ولذة نفوس الخاشعين It's the sweetness of the humble creations of Allah تبارك وتعالى ومحق أحوال الصادقين It's the crux of the situation of the truthful slaves of Allah تبارك وتعالى It is also وميزان وأحوال السالكين Those who are treading the path to get to Allah تبارك وتعالى That's their scaling That's what everything is based on for them وهي رحمة الله المهدات It is a mercy said from Allah تكائناس إلا عباده المؤمنين to his slaves الله is doing it for them سبحانه وتعالى Brothers and sisters I haven't first of all given justice to the statement of ابن القيم رحم الله It's so eloquent رحي عقيقة but you've understood the gist So when you are pondering and you're contemplating first thing you start off is with the prayer after لا إله إلا الله You come with to the prayer ولذلك الشيخ عبد الرزاق إبن عبد المحسن العباد has a very good book It's كو تعبيم الصلاة It's worth reading Get that كتاب and look into it I've heard والله أعلى وأعلم I've heard that It is translated So إن شاء الله يتعالى Look at that كتاب يس كتابه الماتع And it is a مصنف نافع The sheikh عبد الرزاق إبن عبد المحسن العباد wrote كو تعبيم الصلاة It's worth reading إن شاء الله After the person looks at الصلاة And the the ponder of the صلاة Then the person looks at the other way جيبات of the religion Okay And the person also looks at the things الله سبحانه وتعالى from his slaves Have you really stayed always from those things? Drinking alcohol Committing زينة And etc. Are you staying always from those from those things الله has سبحانه وتعالى Also You look at The precision Of your actions يعني How precise are you In whatever you do In the religion Is it precise? Am I doing it with Precision? Am I giving it the best That I could give? Well, I want you to do that And You then Thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى And you ask him سبحانه وتعالى To me Keep you firm upon that What you're going to find is A lot of good And then you repent To Allah سبحانه وتعالى For any deficiencies That have passed That you've come with And any of the deficiencies That you currently Are coming with Because this world again That we're living In brothers and sisters Is Is دار العمل It's the place of actions This is the chance That we have We won't know the famous حديث القدسي و الله سبحانه وتعالى He says يا عبادي إنما هي أعمالكم أحصيها لكم ثم أوفيكم إياها فمن وجد خيرا فاليحمد الله ومن وجد غيرا ذالك فلا يلومنا إلا نفسك It's everyone's actions today How precise are you in your actions? How much effort and hard work Are you putting in? Are you holding back? The matter is يا عبادي إنما هي أعمالكم It's everyone's actions أحصيها لكم That has been accounted for them فمن وجد خيرا فاليحمد الله If you find good in it Praise Allah تبارك وتعالى ومن وجد غيرا ذالك And if you find anything Other than that فلا يلومنا إلا نفسك Don't blame anyone except yourself فلا يلومنا إلا نفسك The person should not blame anyone except himself We need to repent All the time brothers and sisters And by repenting You have to have come with حاسبوا أنفسكم قبل أنتوا حاسبوا You have to have come with The concept of المحاسبة To the soul To say that هادينا سن Oh Allah إغفر لي Forgive me Oh Allah توبة comes from Recognition of your mistakes And what you've done Okay If you look at the righteous people The great imams of al-Islam The people who إن شاء الله و تعالى We want to tread on their path سلفون الصالح Our pious predecessors Starting from our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم They used to repent Rectify their situation And they used to always Want to work hard Our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم A person is forgiven For everything صلى الله عليه وسلم As Allah mentioned to us In the Quran إنا فتحنا لك فتح مبينة ليغفر لك الله ما يتقدم من دنبيك وما يتأخر ليلا محمد يعني He is Errolous In the sense where الله تعالى Everything is forgiven for عليه الصلاة و سلام مع ذلك He told us صلى الله عليه وسلم عليه يسأل إن يأتوا و في اليوم يأت مرة I repent to الله تعالى و تعالى Every day a hundred times And Allah accepts a repentance He told us عليه الصلاة و سلام From every person Who does a mistake And does a shortcoming Or comes with a shortcoming Allah will accept that A repentance And that rectification From you عبدالله أمان رضي الله و تعالى عنهما May Allah be pleased with With him And his father أضي يعني In جامع التلمذية And Ibn Maj And Sheikh Al-Bani And Rahim Allah Graded to be صحيح That the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم He said إن الله يقبل و توبت العبد ما لم يغير غير Allah accepts Subhanah و تعالى The repentance from the slave As long as He doesn't want ما لم يغير غير As long as The moment of death Doesn't come to him Okay Before you Pass away Also ألمان Muslim narrated On the authority Of Abu Mousa رضي الله تعالى عنه That the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم He said إن الله عز و جالى يبسطوا يده بالليل ليتوب مسيء النهاري ويبسطوا يده بالنهاري ليتوب مسيء الليلي حتى تطلع الشمسوء من مغربها That Allah Subhanah و تعالى He opens His palm بالليل At night time To accept The repentance Of the people Who've asked Allah Forgiveness For that day And He also Opens His palm Subhanah و تعالى To accept The repentance Of the one So He does it Day time And He does it Night time He does it Night time For the ones Who ask Repentance For the whole day And the same one And the same is ويبسطوا يده Allah opens His palm بالنهاري Day time ليتوب So He can forgive مسيء الليلي The one who يعني Committed Mistakes And shortcomings That night time He does all of This is حتى تطلع حتى تطلع الشمسو من مغريبها Until the sun comes From the opposite direction So that's Consistent repentance That's how The Salaf الصالح Included in the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم And the Sahabers were like And يعني In more than One of The Great Imams of Al-Islam Also In the Biography You find That They were Hardworking That If it was Set to them In the ملك الموت بيبابك That the angel That is Standing at the door And He's standing لقب دروحك تتأكد Your soul He would not Be able to يعني لم يكن عنده مزيد مزيد عملين That he wouldn't have Anything More To do Why لأنه في كل الأمور منتظم Because Everything He's on schedule He's up يعني في المحافظة عليها وأدائها Everything He's doing Accordingly But there's Some people Brothers And sisters From the People If today It was Set to them That the angel Of death Is standing At the door And he's going To take your Soul He will Find In front Of himself يجد أمامه أمورا كثيرا He will Find Many things In front Of Himself Himself Many things يعني Where shall I start Where shall I start From What can I do Where Where Where Which There's So many Where About That We've Left Behind There's So many محرمات That We've Fallen Into So Where We're مقصن In Everything So Which Which one Should We start with And we We don't want to be like those people brothers and sisters Who will come يوم القيامة And they will say لعلي أعمل وصالح حنفي ما تركت كلا إنها كاليمة هو قائلها ومن وراء برزخون إلى يوم يبعثون We don't want to be like that brothers and sisters That's not our aim and objective It was mentioned اللي ما بده برحمة الله يصير على منوبلا He brings many examples of great Emanus Who are like that بوكير من عامل And he said It was said كان لو قيلة بوكير من عامل And he رضئ رحمة الله If he was set him قد توجه إليك ملك الموتي The angel of death has come to your direction ما كان عنده زيادة عمل He did not have anything more to add to it وكان يمكذ جمعاتين لا يأكل He will stay for two جمعات not eating أنا سيب العياظن He said رأيتوا الصفواني بن السليمن I saw صفواني بن السليمن I saw him و لو قيلة له If he was set him غدن القيامة The tomorrow is the day of the Resurrection ما كان عنده مزيده على ما هو عليه من العبادة He did not have anything more to add on the actual عبادة he was doing يوظوصا منش نده شيم رحمة الله He said كان منصور يعني زاب He said كان منصور ابن زادان و شيم يسين this If he was set to him إن ملك الموتي The angel of death على البابي is standing in front of the door ما كان عنده زيادة في العمل He could There's nothing more he could possibly do الله أكبر Imagine that brothers and sisters How hard you have to be working For you to be told قيامة is tomorrow or the angel of death is right now at the front door He's going to take your nuffs Think about it How hard do you have to really work For you not to have anything more to do And it shows that They were consistent in عبادة In everything that they did And the reason why they got that brothers and sisters is They came with They were And they were known for being ones who came with يعني محاسبة لنفس They accounted themselves for everything they did Okay And they looked at their actions Day and night What am I doing What am I not doing Brothers and sisters We will not be in any way shape or form To achieve all of that Unless Allah helps us سبحانه وتعالى There's a common mistake That many people fall into And it's a common mistake Which a lot of us fall into And I myself Have also يعني I'm guilty of as well Which is We spread this concept And we say a lot to people We say to people Have a thicka to be نفس I've used that quite a lot We say that to the people We say to them Go and have thicka in yourself يعني Rely on yourself And that's something We shouldn't say to the people That's wrong It goes against An important point In our religion A thicka to be نفس A thicka, brothers and sisters Is تواكل And يعني It's not just تواكل A thicka is not just تواكل It's actually خلاصة التواكل والوب It's the core of تواكل A thicka is the core of تواكل Okay And we will know The famous دعاة That the Prophet ﷺ used to do Which is اللهم رحمتك أرجو يعني Sorry He used to say اللهم رحمتك أرجو فلا تكلني إلى نفسي طرفة عين واصلح لي شاء لي كله لا إله إلا أنت This brothers and sisters If this دعاة The Prophet would say أو الله رحمتك أرجو I hope for you, Masih فلا تكلني إلى نفسي طرفة عين Don't Leave me to my own self Where is the thicka to be نفس Where is the thicka And that's why the mufti before the Sheikh عبدالعزيز من أباز Shaykh محمد البراهيم أول الشيخ He was asked about the statement That the people say To one another تجيبوا الثقة to be نفس You have to have thicka in yourself So when you say to the person I can't do it I need you, ya رب العالمين So when you say to the person Have thicka to be نفس And thicka is تواكل And the Tawakul should be done For who الله سبحانه و تعالى And that's why the Mufti Before the Sheikh عبدالعزيز من أباز Shaykh محمد ببراهيم أول الشيخ You have to have thicka in yourself He said لا تجيب ولا تجوزوا He said It's not wajib And rather it's not even allowed The thicka to be نفس And then he mentioned And he mentioned And then he mentioned فلا تكني إلى نفس You can find that in his فتاة و رسائل يا رحم الله Also الشيخ ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب ياس كتاب أن يستخدمها بشكل مفتاح في الشريع. يتحدث عن مقاومات ومثالات وش like that. هذا يكفي عن مرحب. ويقول أنه يقوم بعمل 185. كل مقاومات التي تفعلها بها بأخوانها. عندما يأتي إلى المتحدة التي أتكلم عنها،
