 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيمي لقد قامت الآيات تشهد أنه إله عظيم فضله ليس ينفذ وانتاوضا أنه يكون اشتغالي بها المنفذة المكفيية التي لا تتواجدها والعلم يقول لقد قامت الآيات وانتاوضا أنه يتحدث عن العرب وانتاوضا أنه يتحدث عنك وانتاوضا أنه يتحدث عن ثلاثة كيف تحدث عن ثلاثة؟ وانتاوضا أن تقول لقد قامت الآيات التي تتحدث عنها وانتاوضا أنها تشهد أنها تتحدث عنها وانتاوضا أنه إله عظيم أنه يكون أمام مجيزة ومجيزة كل هذه العلمات التي تقوم بها وانتاوضا أنه يكون إله عظيم وأنه يتحبه شخصاً لكي تشهد وإخلاص الدين له وأن الوصول يعمل سنسيلي وأنه سبحانه وتعالى وما يفتن منه وما يفتن منه وانتاوضا أنه يتواجه الإنسان وأنه يتواجه الإنسان وأنه يتدفل وأنه يتساعد وأنه يتساعد وانه يتحبه وأنه يتفاعد لأي شيء that hasn't done any of that for him who hasn't created him doesn't sustain him doesn't provide for him for him to then turn towards that and worship it ask of it fear it hope from it it shows that this person has is dimwitted and stupid you're worshiping a dust, a sand you're going and you're worshiping somebody who's become sand, dust now you're going and you're worshiping a dome a grave or a tree a rock in which you make and you direct your needs towards it this all is an indication of that this person is dimwitted الله تبارك وتعالى الزواتش فضله ليس ينفذ الله تبارك وتعالى الزواتش وقره his slaves الله's generosity الله's blessings over his creation لا ينفذ it doesn't come to an end as Allah said in the Quran ما عندكم ينفذ وما عند الله باق what is with you will come to an end if you give today you give tomorrow and the day after your money reduces and it goes ما عندكم ينفذ وما عند الله باق what is with Allah never comes to an end it carries on الله سلينا آنا دا آيان دا قرآن وإن تعدوا نعمة الله لا تحصوها if you sit down and you try to count the favors of Allah favors of Allah upon you you would never be able to put a figure on it and say this is how much it is it's too much, it's too great وما بكم من نعمة there is no blessing which you have it's from who except it is from Allah سبحانه و تعالى it's fast, too great it's too much that's why the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said لو أن أولكم و آخركم و إنسكم و جنكم قاموا على صعيد وحد فسألوني فاعطيت كل وحدة منهم مسألة الله says my slave if the first of you and the last of you the first creation that was ever created أدم عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى آخر من خلقه الله and the last person in which Allah created they asked all of them stood up came to an open place فسألوني they asked Allah الله says فاعطيت كل وحدة مسألة and I gave each and every one of them what they asked for ما نقص ذلك من ما that would not reduce what I already have إلا كما ينقص المخيط إذا أدخل البحر just like if a needle was entered into a rock sorry into an ocean a sea what it would what would it take from the sea nothing نعم فمن كان من غرس فمن كان من غرس الإلهي أجابه وليس لمن ولا وعدبار مسعيده but as for those who turn away in aversion none can bring them happiness the author says فمن كان من غرس الإلهي أجابه the one who is from those who Allah has planted and الشيخ رحمه الله has referring to haveith Al-Aliman mobile narrated and Ibn Maja and other than them انهم من أبعينبه الخولانيون رضي الله تعالى عنه أن يساعد سمعت عيهاد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول عيهاد مسينجا صلى الله عليه وسلم سيد لا يزال الله أن لا يبقى يغرس في هذا الدين غرسة يستعملهم في طاعته الملك ينبقى في هذا الدين الملك ينبقى في هذا الدين أن يستخدمه في قناة سمعته في طاعته في عديده يستمرار ومكوز من يستمرار يستمع في هذا الدين يستمرار لما نتخلص كلها الجبال اللهم ينبق ما وراء و يتخذوا و يكلموا و يتخذوا بشكل كبير و يخبروا لا يزالوا طائفة من أمة ظاهرين على الحق لا يضرهم من خدلهم ولا من خالفهم حتى يأتي أمر الله وهم على ذلك لأن هناك always going to remain a group of people who are in my umma who are upon the Haq who are victorious on the Haq لا يضرهم it doesn't harm them من خدلهم it doesn't harm them لا يضرهم من خدلهم ولا من خالفهم and it doesn't harm them the one who opposes them حتى يأتي أمر الله until the hour strikes they are consistent they don't really care who's with them or who isn't العلابة ابن القي من his great book مفتحه داري سعادة he says that the people in which Allah plants are people who have these two characteristics he says وغرس الله هم أهل العلم والعمل it is the people of knowledge and the people of implementation فلو خلت الأرض if this earth is absent from scholars people of knowledge and people of implementation خلت من غرس الله it is absent from Allah's planting and it's powerful that the messenger referred to them as plants because it's true plants that people live and it is through the ulama that the people live in which they are the ones who give life to these people ابن القي مؤصر رحمه الله he says بهادي الأمة يبعث لها عند دروس السنة he says from the mercy of Allah and Allah's kindness and generosity to us this أمة it is that Allah brings out whenever the sunnah wears out and the prayer becomes apparent وضخور البدعة Allah brings out من يجد لها دينها he brings a reviver who revives the religion for them ولا يزالوا الله does not remain except يغرس في دينه غرسة يستعمل فيه علم وعملة and Allah does not remain except planting in this religion a plant people يستعملهم he uses them in knowledge and implementation الله makes them who are the leaders of his religion victorious ones who give victory to his religion and they are guidance they are guidance to Allah's slaves with who's mercy though with Allah's mercy and his blessings سبحانه وتعالى then the author says وليس لمن ولا وأدبرا مسعده the one who turns away and turns his back is not one who is going to find happiness من ولا the one who turns around and turns away from all of this is not going to find happiness the one who turns away from what he turns away من هذه الحجج these proofs و هذه البراهيم and these evidences this individual he is not one who is going to be happy الله is not going to find it أينما يدهب wherever he goes وينما ولا and wherever he turns towards because there is no way to success and happy and prosperity فإن السبيل السعاد and the path to happiness and the path to success and prosperity it is in what it is in بطاعة الله أبين الله واتباعه ده and follow his guidance دسو الله سرني آية فمن تبعه داية فلا خوف عليهم ولهم يحزنون فمن تبعه داية فلا يضل ولا يشقا الله says the one who follows my guidance فلا يضل he will not be misguided ولا يشقا and he will not be from the people of Hellfire he will not be misguided فلا يضل في الدنيا ولا يشقا في الآخرة he will not be misguided in this world and he will not be from the people of Hellfire the day of judgment ومن أعرض عن ذكره ومن أعرض عن ذكره ومن أعرض عن ذكره ومن أعرض عن ذكره فإن له بعيشة ضنكة ونحشوره يوم القيامة قيامة أعمى the one who turns away from all of this he turns away from the ayat which are مشاهدة the signs that are out there the universal signs and he also turns away from the legislational signs the ayat المتلوة he turns away from them فإن له بعيشة ضنكة that individual is going to have a hard life in this world ضيق الصدر that's what Allah says وعلى نور من ربي فويلوا للقاسية قلوبه من ذكر الله the one who Allah opens his chest and his heart and his breast فمن شرح الله الصدر وليل إسلام فو الإسلام فو على نور من ربي he's upon light from his Lord the one who Allah opens his heart for إسلام coming to Islam is in the opening of a person's chest what does he leave the tightness of the chest هذا العالم يصبح جيداً لأنه لا يريد أن يستطيع أن نعيش أيضاً ومن أعرض عن ذكري فإن له معيشة تنظنكي الله سبحانه وتعالى من أعمل صالحة ميدكرين أو أوثة وهو مؤمن فلا نح يدنه حياتاً طيبة ولا نجز يدنهم أجرهم بأحسن ما كان يعملون أي شخص مؤمن و أي شخص مؤمن who comes with righteous actions is the belief of Allah Allah says we're going to give them حياتاً طيبة a good life and remember the happiness is connected to how much you are in obedience to Allah if your obedience of Allah is 100% your happiness and your joy is 100% if it's 90% then it's 90% if it's 80% your obedience your happiness is 80% لأن الله تبارك وتعالى because Allah تبارك وتعالى He is fair and just and the day of judgment Allah says ونحشوره يوم القيامة that the person will be resurrected the day of judgment blind then the author goes on to say نعم عليك بتقوى الله في فعلي أمره وتجتني بالمنه عنه وتبعيده diligently observe Taqwa of Allah by carrying out his command and refraining from all forbidden things remaining distant from them the author says عليك بتقوى الله what does he mean by عليك بتقوى الله he means إلزم تقوى الله be consistent stick to Taqwa وحافظ عليها وكون من أهلي and be from its people then the author explains to you what it means it means في فعلي أمره by doing his commands وتجتني بالمنه عنه وتبعيده and to stay away from that which he prohibited you from so if somebody asks you today what is حقيقة التقوى what is the true reality of Taqwa what does Taqwa really mean it means a person who comes with فعل للأوامر doing of the commands that Allah commanded you سبحانه وتعالى واجتنابوا للنواه and to stay away from that which he prohibited you from سبحانه وتعالى and that is what رحم الله when he was asked about piety he said and I believe his definition is the best ابنبطة brings in his كتابة الابالة الكبرى it is the best definition he says Taqwa means أن تعمل بطاعة الله it is to come and to implement and to do in obedience of Allah على نور من الله with a light from Allah رجاء ثواب الله hoping for Allah's reward والتقوى also means ترك معاصل الله and leaving off the prohibited things على نور من الله with a light from Allah خوف عقاب الله and fearing the punishment of Allah so the sheikh رحم الله used that definition of طلق من حبيب and made it into this line عليك بتقوى الله في فعل أمره وتجتلب المنهية عنه وتبعدوا to be far from it and to stay away from that which he has prohibited you from سبحانه وتعالى نعم وكن مخلصا لله وحظر من الرياء وتابع رسول الله إن كنت تعبد be sincere with Allah and beware of الرياء and emulate the messenger of Allah when you perform acts of worship the author then says وكن مخلصا لله وحظر من الرياء وكن مخلصا لله be one whose actions are sincere for Allah سبحانه وتعالى سيك الله says in the Qur'an انا لله دين الخالص very little religion of Allah is that which is based upon sincerity وصول الله سبحانه وتعالى وما أمروا إلا ليعبد الله مخلصين له الدين they were not commanded to worship Allah except with sincerity in the religion what does إخلاص mean it means الصافي النقي pure اللدي لا شائبته there is no taint in it so what it means is that إخلاص دين لله means what أن يكون صافي النقي لا يراد به إلا الله that it is pure and it's clean and it is not intended for anybody except him سبحانه وتعالى لا يراد به الدنيا you don't intend worldly gain from it ولا الرياء and you don't also intend from it showing off ولا السمعة and you're not trying you're not doing it you can be heard of ولا غير ذلك من الأغراض and you're not doing it for any other gain it is of Allah سبحانه وتعالى وكن مخلص لله do for Allah's sake إخلاصنا لله صف القلب من إرادة سواه فحذر يا فاطين that you do it for him alone you don't do it to gain anything or anyone's face except him ولا ذلك this is the one thing that شيطان makes sure he can get to the person through pray if you want fast if you want give zakat if you want give hajj if he gets to your intention all of that will benefit you then the author goes on to saying وحذر المين الرياء stay away from showing off showing off is the opposite of إخلاص it damages a person's إخلاص you have to be upon على حذر شديد من الرياء you have to be very strong and powerful when it comes to stay away from showing off and from the thing sometimes the way that شيطان comes to is very subtle it will make you say this is no more no problem لا عمينا الضهور so you can be out ولي ذلك the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم يسالن حديث أن إمام ابنوما generated in the sunan شيخ محمد ناصر الدين الألباني رحمه الله رحمة واسعة he authenticated it يقوم الرجل يصلي إيمان will stand up stand up and pray فا يوزي يونو صلاته he perfects his prayer ليبع يرى من نظري رجلين he beautifies his prayer because of the fact that he sees another person is looking at him so he beautifies his prayer for them he makes sure that they realize that he's praying correctly شيطان loves to get to the students of knowledge he loves it he loves to whisper to them he loves for them to speak in a particular way and articulate things in a particular way even if they don't necessarily think that they are showing off but شيطان will make you do it one of the things that شيطان does is that he makes the person go when a student of knowledge manages to build a library and he has a library and he builds it he loves the student شيطان loves for his to hear for him to go and to tell the people about it tell the people about it tell the people about it record for example in the presence of his library and this is what شيطان can use for a طالب علم in his sincerity in his خلاص و لذلك the professor has told us Allah loves العبد تقي الخفي Allah loves the slave who is pious his piety he's also hidden he doesn't he's under law as they say as they say لوكي right is لوكي no one knows of him no one knows what he's up to no one knows knows what he does but he's there the more you hide the more Allah raises you ranks سبحانه وتعالى و لذلك I remember when we visited شيخ سالب الطويل we were questioning him we said to him شيخ is going to record you and he said no he said behind me our books people are going to think I read all of this and that you remember him saying that so he moved from the position he was at and he sat at a place where there was nothing behind him that's powerful the خلاص sincerity so we have to realize و حضر stay away from showing off stay away from showing off that doesn't mean everybody who does it is showing off and that's not what I'm saying but one has to be very hidden very private don't let شيطان destroy your righteous needs by showing off يالطالب العلم or student of knowledge the way that شيطان comes to you is a yaks that you've memorized a hadiths that you know مصورs that you know just so you can watch و لذلك the author brought this for that reason and something that the scholars used to start their books with الإمام البخاري رحمه الله إمام جبل mounted reminded himself sincerity before he started his book خلاص he brought the hadith the famous hadith that we all read إِنَّمَ الْأَعْمَالُ بِبْنِيَاتِ imagine if you come the day of judgment and you have so much actions and righteous deeds that you've come with and Allah hasn't accepted any one of them so you show it off when you were doing it it was mentioned that إِنَّمَ حَمَدِ الْأَمِينِ شَنْكِدْضِ إِرَحَمَهُ الْلَّهِ there was a book he wrote a poetry he made when he was very young and he got rid of it and he destroyed it so they asked him why did his teacher say don't let it be don't destroy it first let the people benefit from it he said I didn't write it with good intention and I wrote it I didn't write it with good intentions I wrote it for what? I wrote it to compete with my peers who's better me or you and that was my only purpose I don't want it to be some of the علماء whose works today we look at we study and we read and we ponder on and we analyze and we scrutinize and today we are enjoying their their hard work some of them we don't even know their names their names is not even known we study you know the name of the author do you know who it is some say طاها some say محمد some say this some say that also would you call it اللباب الأجروم do you know تهيس تاريخ no one knows it this is a جرومية that you study that a طالب if you go around any place in the world thousands and thousands of people have memorized it you know what it was for them the issue was as اللباب الشافع رحمه الله he says وحب أيت علم الناس I love the people to learn I love the people to take the message in وَلَا يُنْ سَبَأِلَيَا شَيْئِ but nothing is attributed to me nothing is attributed to me meaning the goal and the ultimate goal for them was that this message gets to the people whether it's me or whether it's somebody else I don't want to be the one who is forefront all the time to be the one who deals with this issue necessarily as long as this message is being brought ولي ذلك the person who has sincerity يفرح he gets happy when he sees a صاحب a sunnah another person of the sunnah of his brother doing the same thing as him he gets happy the reason why he gets happy and he enjoys seeing him and he asks Allah privately and he says اللهم أيتوا يا رب العالمين Oh Allah give him to eat and support and help والله he's going to go through a lot of hardship it's because he what he does know it's not about him for him it's not but the one who's showing off for him it's him and the only channel it has to come through is him that's what sincerity brings about as Shaytan who is your enemy and every one of us our enemy the only people who he admitted to that he's not able to misguide are the sincere people إلا عبادك منه إلا عبادك منه المخلصين the only ones I won't be able to deviate and destroy are the sincere ones and it is because of sincerity use of a saved from the woman because maybe Allah use of a sincere Allah says سبحانه وتعالى كدالك لنصرف عنه السوء والفحشاء إنه من عبادنا المخلصين he was from our sincere slaves so one has to truly understand that the strongest part of the human body according to us is what this muscle right inside you which is the heart right and within the heart the greatest thing is sincerity that is the best action of the heart and إخلاص sincerity and that is why they used to be excessively scared the pious predecessors let's be very very worried أليماما أحمد رحمه الله أبو أيوب أسختياري رحمه الله and others they used to أم أيوب أسختياري and others they used to they used to walk on little alleyways not on the main road and the reason why they would do that is because they did not like the people recognizing them and coming to them it was said about عبد الله المبارك he was one day at a well a well and he was trying to get water out and as you know people everyone wants it so they keep pushing each other and so he got pushed and pulled and pushed because people don't know who he is and he nearly fell into the well and he smiled and he became happy and he said ها فليها فا ها كدا فا ليكن الحياة ها كدا فا ليكن الحياة let this world be like this and no one knows you people deal with you like a normal person there is no value or no importance that you are given ها كدا فا ليكن الحياة ها كدا فا ليكن الحياة let this world be like this for me they used to be like that الظهور coming out and about being seen that's not what they wanted so that's why they always used to hide from the people and they used to keep themselves to themselves so that's why the author says وَقُن مُخْرِصَلِّ اللَّهِ وَحْذَرْ مِنَ الْرِيَةِ stay away from showing off stay away from showing off but did I tell them this self they used to say يَخْطُلُ فِي بَالِيِ sometimes my mind something might come to it فَلَا أَقُولُهُ I don't say it why don't I say it because I can't find sincerity in my heart towards it I don't find sincerity so I just leave it I don't feel like I'm sincere if I do this I think I'm probably going to do it for a worldly gain or something so this is how they were and they preferred that this was not given to them but because of our ill hearted today and how sick we are we want only us to be the ones who are speaking and only the ones who are the reference points and only the ones who are seen I heard a مرأب أعضال that is a cancer it's a sincere cancer so that's why every time a person needs to take a step back and needs to question himself ask himself what is his intention behind this what is his motive why is he doing this for why is he doing this for so he doesn't become from the three people أول who went to صعب the three first people who are going to be dragged to the hellfire and one of the people is a person who is what it will be asked knowledge was given to you you were taught you had knowledge you had an understanding of the religion and you taught the people what was your motive and your intention behind it and you will say Oh Allah I only did it for you and no one else but for you it will be such a cadept you lied and you're lying you did it for worldly gain you had another motive and intention behind it and you gained what you wanted you wanted popularity you wanted to get fame you wanted recognition you wanted to be relevant you got what you asked for you got what you want you wanted a number of followers is that what you wanted you got what you asked for but there's nothing for you today you have nothing no and then that person will be dragged to the hellfire that person may of 50 40 70 80 years might have been calling the people to the deal and educating the people you see and teaching them but there was no sincerity there was no خلاص so it's very important if you want to be sometimes we there's two things that we need for any action to be accepted sincerity and what متابعة الرسول they are as important as each other the day of judgment the cell if they used to say two scrolls will be open for every action that you've done two questions will be placed on every action that you've done لما وكيف why did you do it and how did you do it those are the two questions because those are going to be the two questions that every action of yours the day of judgment it will be asked you need to ask yourself those two questions now why am I doing it and how am I doing it once you've realized that those two are correct they go forward in doing it if you have the how with you but you don't have the why it doesn't give you the rights to say those who don't have the why I'm sorry those who don't have the how I'm going to correct them so you have to have intention and according to the sunnah of the prophet both of them that's why that's why the author then the other part he goes and I sometimes realize that people attribute themselves to they might work towards follow the sunnah of the prophet نعم but when it comes to the issue of sincerity and a class you might find it present in the other people the مبتدع I might have it more than some of them and the أسف شديد صح and it's one of the things we were talking about which is and that happens right there and that you see a or you see a who goes out gives knocks on people's doors because it's and he goes out and he gives knocks on people's doors there was a man I know him old guy old Pakistani uncle whenever Ramadan would enter he always had money ready he'd go to people's houses knock on their door but guess what he would do old uncle he would cover his face and give them money and walk away and they would ask him who are you don't need to know follow the hadith of the prophet of course كان أجوى دون الناس كان أجوى دون ما يقول في رمضان هين يلقاهوا جيبريل it'd be very generous and give to the people he would be but his uncle had you know to soof and whatnot in him a person of the sunnah may critique him and get and toss over everything this man has is that صحيح is that correct no he might have to soof and be that I walk not with him that we just we push that aside we don't give but this sincerity that he has we need to have this and this is something this is something that's missing from us something we need to ask Allah to give to us سبحانه وتعالى work towards gaining that صح just because of his mistake that he has with him we dismiss the good the whole good that we need to have we need to have that good in us are you with me not that I'm saying take the good leave the bad that's not what I'm saying what I'm saying to you is that if a person who is misguided comes with the right just because came with the right that doesn't mean you toss that you leave that right for him that good for him that's part of your religion which you need to hold on to وتابع رسول الله إن كنت تعبود follow the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام every work every act of obedience that you come with after you've made sure sincerity is in place and you're doing it you're not doing it for worldly gain you're doing it for Allah then make sure that it is in accordance to the sunnah because if you're doing something sincerely and it is not in accordance to the sunnah it's as bad as not doing it with sincerity in other words they are both null and void and the prophet told us عليه الصلاة والسلام من العامل العامل ليس عليه أمرونا فهو رد anyone who does an action that is not from our affairs is rejected to him it is rejected at you and it is غير بقبولن and it is not accepted so the author in this line of poetry what did he combine between he combined between بين الشارط طيق قبول العمل the two conditions in which an action will be accepted الإخلاصة للمعبود والمتابعة والمتابعة للرسول سنسيريتي في الريجن ونقصف follow in the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم that is what sheq الإسلام ابن القيم الجوزية رحمه الله in his book الوابل الصيب he said ليس الشأله في العمل the matter is not the action some people just think wow he has come with actions ابن القيم says the matter is not actions it's not mere actions إنما الشأله but the matter really is في حبض العمل protecting your action مما يفسيدوا in the things that can corrupt it ويحبطوا and can nullify it فرية showing off وإن دقة even if it's very little محبطوا للعمل it will destroy your action وهو أبواب كثيرة and it is many those that it comes لا تحصر no one can bring a figure to it it's too much in number show enough how it happened the second one is وَكَوْنُ لَعَمَلِ غَيَّرًا مُقَيَّدٍ بِتِبَعِ الصُّنَّةِ and that the action is not restricted and it is not in accordance to the Sunnah of the Messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام أيضًا also is مُجِبٌ لِقَوْنِ بَاطِلًا it also necessitates the nullifying of your actions ابن القيم he said it's not the fact that you've come with an action but make sure that you work but make sure that you know what will nullify the actions and there are two things not having sincerity and not following the Messenger those are the two things that can nullify it imagine you pray and all of that nullify it it's nothing beneficial about your action now it's out of the window so that statement of his is very powerful we will conclude that رشالله تعالى anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect mistake, fault slip of the tongue is from me الشيطان أن الله his Messenger are free from it سبحانك الله وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفروك وأتوب إلي
