 Just a few reminders inshaAllah ta'ala, just some things that I just want to experience in the community. We should remember Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, he says in the Qur'an, wa l-at-asma'ana minal l-addeena, wa tufti ta'al minabribu, minal l-addeena as-shalabu ad-dankirah. Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, he says that indeed, indeed, and the double emphasis for people that study grammar, indeed, indeed, you're going to hear much from the people of the book, meaning Jews and Christians, and also from those who associate partners with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, ad-dankirah. Much that will greet you, that's going to annoy you, this is something that's expected, right? This is what Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is saying in the Qur'an, this is a medidi ayah. This is expected, the dogs will always bark. But then he says, Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, indas biru wa ta-taqqu, but if you have sorrow, if you have patience, what is patience? Inama s-saqru fi s-saqmatu l-kula, as the Prophet ﷺ he said, when he saw a woman crying in the graveyard and she was being a little excessive in her weeping, right? And he said, Ya Allah, those maidservants of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, wa s-bidi wa taqee, have patience and have taqwa of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. And she, without even turning around to see who it was, she said, you've never been afflicted like this? What do you know? You've never been afflicted like this? The Prophet ﷺ, he buried six of his seven children, Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, the most severe tribulations, they come to an anbiya, the Prophet ﷺ, to raise their degrees. So he said to her, patience is, true patience is at the first strike of the disaster. That's Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. Right? It's like my one time I was in Ibad and there was a car accident and this guy got out, he said, Ibad, hello? And then they sort of breast-swing on the ground, they're punching each other. After like two minutes, they're both exhausted, you know, I'm sorry, maybe I made a wrong turn. I was like, it's already done, that's not patience. Patience is when the first strike comes to you and you show patience, right? And the Allah says, faith until you make it, right, you have to takallu, takallu, takallu is to pretend, pretend to be patient if you can't be patient. And if you do it over time, then it becomes part of your hadat, it becomes part of your happiness, right? It's woven into the fabric of who you are inherently, right? So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that, he said, I lost time with Ali, he says, he tells you, when you hear all of this garbage that Imam Zayn was talking about, there's people on TV, he's anti-Muslim, pseudo-intellectual, evangelical, profligates, this guy, Pat Robertson, he's infamous, actually ran for president in 1984, a lot of adversity on America. I don't think I'm president, although we got Reagan, but we won't talk about that. Anyway, this man says, almost every single time I turn on the show, he's talking about Islam. He's probably doing it all the time, right? Out of the five, four or five times they turn it off, he's talking about, he says, Allah is the moon god. Allah is the moon god. Who's Allah? I don't understand. Allah is the moon god. And you know, this little group around him said, how did you know that? And he said, have you ever seen the flag of Pakistan? Have you ever seen the flag of Pakistan? And he said, what's wrong with the flag of Pakistan? There's a moon. There's a moon on it. And he also used a lunar calendar. This is his Dali, that we worship the god of the Hama, the moon god, right? So, you know, Jews, they have a lunar calendar, right? Christians, they have a solar calendar, they worship on Sunday. Oh, they worship the sun god. Is that a good Dali? No, it's not. So, have patience and have taqwa. What is taqwa? Taqwa is hard to translate. Imam Zayn said that the objective of Ramadan is to grow in taqwa in order that you have taqwa. And the Arama say that the sharaf or the fulgur of something is known by its taqwa, that the merit of something is known by its objective. What is the objective of fasting? In order for us to have taqwa. And taqwa is two parts. It's mushahada and muraqaqa for the notators. Mushahada means that you're fully cognizant that Allah swt is indeed watching us. Some people find this very intrusive, like atheists. I don't want to celestial world Korea. That's what they said. I don't want Kim Jong-il watching my every move. Why do they say that? They say that because they don't know Allah swt. They say you know Allah swt. Then they would automatically love Allah swt. You're not helpful to love Him. If you had ma'adi, you would have ma'aqa with Him. So where is it going with this? Mushahada. So what is mushahada? Pretend you get in your car and you're driving down the street and a cop comes behind you. You know the cop was watching you. You know that. The cop is in front of you. Definitely, he sees me. I'm right in front of him. That's called mushahada. And then what you do, you check your speedometer a little bit. Make sure you turn on the blinkers. You tell your kid in the back seat, are you buckled? Let me know. No! Check the mirrors. You stop at full stop. At the red light, if you're going to make a right turn, full stop. You can stop a little bit longer. This is called muraqa. You're vigilant over yourself. This is taqwa. With Allah SWT. So you have patience with your taqwa. Allah SWT, he says, in Surah Al-Malda, he says, Say they are not the same. Dirty things, foul things and good things. They're not the same. They're not the same. Even if the sheer amount of the garbage surprises you or dazzles you, it's just garbage. Where there's a little bit of garbage for a lot of garbage. Guess what? It's garbage. You can't do anything with it. So we have the yuh, the shabab, and other people too. What's with adults? They go Google the name of the Prophet. And page after page after page. Chabayat after Chabayat, garbage after garbage. This has a real detrimental effect when you read these types of things. What? But Allah SWT tells us. Don't be deluded by that. For taqwa Allah, the next part of this ayat says, fear Allah. Taqwa Allah SWT. Masha'a hadabu raqha Allah. Fear Allah SWT. Ya'udin al-daab. O people of lube, what is the lube? Is the kernel, the seed of something. People of core understanding. People who have tasted their faith. The people of thought and taqeed. Who know how to look at something by its outward form and draw out the ma'ana. The meaning of that outward form. These are people that are guided by Allah SWT. This comes through dida'ah or it comes through the rational faculty if you know how to use it. Taqwa. Right? So Allah SWT says, don't let all of this garbage gas with you. Even if it is a lot. Be people of discernment. Be people of discernment. And this is very, very important. To be able to look at reality and draw out the meanings of what's actually happened. And Muslims they fall into these kind of these bifurcations because they're influenced by Christianity. We don't even know it. All of us have been influenced by Christianity. Western, postmodern, Protestantism is very dualistic. It's very simplistic. Right? Basically, you know, the prosperity gospel that the amount of love that God has for you is convinced to it with the amount of money in your bank account. So if you have a lot of money, you have a lot of problems, you've got a lot of worries. Obviously Allah loves you but he's full of Allah. He eats that. This is the prosperity gospel. Right? Manifest destiny. We're influenced by these types of things. I hear some, I see a lot of types of things for Muslims sometimes. You know, for a lot of Muslims the golden gate bridge is the definitive proof. That Christianity is correct in Islam as well. Now you think it yourself, what? What does the golden gate bridge have to do with what are you talking about? As you know, it's a Christian country that's problematic. This country is founded explicitly to be the antithesis of Christian Europe, to be the opposite of what was happening, especially in Church of England with King George, the Anglican church, separation of church and state. This country was a no-way foundation of the Christian nation treaty of crippling 1787, ratified into law by John Adams. You can look this up. But they say, this is a Christian country. And so the golden gate bridge, this is through fear from Allah SWT. Therefore Christianity is right in Islam as well. Because you go to Muslim countries, you find bridges where the termites stop holding hands, which one didn't know else. This is a simplistic world view. A lot of Muslims fall into this world view. They say, why does Shaitan have so much power? Right? Shaitan is a jinn. He does it again. Influenced by Hellenized, online Christianity. There's a dualism. There's a vikation. Allah on one side, Satan on the other side, almost like they're equal. They fight battles. Satan wins one. Allah wins another one. Satan wins another one. No, no, no. Inna kumla. Inna hulla. Kum adumum. He is for you a rival, not for Allah. Allah doesn't have a rival or an opposite. Subhanahu. Allah is above such things. Shaitan doesn't have power over you. If you let him, he does. But he makes what's what's up. Nothing has power over Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wanted to snap his fingers, it hasn't worked in no anthropomorphic way. And destroy all of the cosmos. No one is going to ask him, why not try to help them? Why did you do that? Nobody is going to ask him this question. They cannot ask him this question. Allah is out on you. Allah does whatever He wills. A lot of the youth, they fall into this religion called Fenama. Here it is. Celema. It's a Greek word from the New Testament. Basically, the founder of this religion was a man named Alistar Crowley. He founded the Church of Satan in England. He has two books. These are their sacred scriptures. One is called Magic and Theory and Practice in which he says very clearly, the best way to get power from evil demons is to kill little babies. That's why during Halloween, there's a lot of productions. This happens in America. A lot of children go missing during Halloween in this country. What happens to these children? Allah has mercy on us. Allah preserve us. That's why Allah is happy with Saddam. There's crazy people out there. They worship Satan. Another one of his books is called the Lever Negus, the Book of the Law. And this book he says, our only law is do what thou wilt. Do whatever you want. Do whatever you want. This is our law. Do whatever you want. Who's the only one that can truly say that in Allah, if I do not do you. Allah does what he wants. When you say, I do whatever I want, then you're making yourself daaad. Right? This is a form of sugar. No, Allah swt. does whatever he wants. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, If you don't do anything, if you don't do anything, then do what you want. If you don't do anything, then do what you want. If you don't do anything, then do what you want. If you don't do anything, then do what you want. If you don't have any shame, then do what you want. Do what thou wilt. That doesn't mean, okay, I don't have shame. I can do whatever I want. No, we say, you should have shame. Don't do whatever you want. A lot of youth are falling into this trap. So, we don't let these things bother us. People attack the Prophet and the law, you send them. Even obviously, it gets our emotions going. We hate this type of thing. But we have to be people of top law and people of patience and actualize this type of patience. Because Allah SWT is not His Habib's back. The Habib has back him. Major back him. The biggest back him, so to speak. There's a Hadith in Bukhari on the authority of Abdullah Ibn Abdullah Ibn Abbas, radiAllahu Alayhi Alam, which he says, a Christian man and Medina became Muslim. And then this Christian man, for whatever reason, and he was a scribe of the revelation. He used to write down the Qur'an that was revealed to the Prophet. So then this Christian man, he reverted back to Christianity. It's very strange. This happens all the time. I don't know if you're aware of this. I deal with this. I'm into this Christian Muslim type of thing. I've done a lot of work on this. I've been involved in this for a number of years. And I talk to several of these people who were Muslim and became Christian. And I'll tell you this. Every single time, without exception, every single one of these people, what I would say at least a major misapprehension as to what Islam actually was. Some of them, I doubt they were even Muslim to begin with. So they don't know what they projected. Because some of these people, some of the Muslims, I don't know, we don't study things anymore. So the religion is sort of focused, focused, gene stories, ghost stories, like Papa John or Apple John or Chacha John. They taught us when we were little kids, the gene stories. There's a Scooby-Doo religion. Right? Like this one brother, he said, you know, I, I had, last night, there was a black dog in my room. And it had been eyes. And it was exactly 3 a.m. It bit me on the hand. But when I moved, there was nothing there. What does it mean? I said, you know what it means? You stop getting the pipe. That's what that means. Come to hookah down, bro. Put it down, relax. Pick up the musham. Raise your arms and do a'ab. Pick up the shema'a that never wear. Read something about Al-Qaeda. Read the Syrah of the Prophet, what are you doing all day? Spoke in the hookah. Put in pictures of yourself smoking a pipe on Facebook. And then you're seeing the dog in the green eyes. The only woman who the dog represents is a nuts and it's a chin. And the green eyes is because you love money. And then it's 3 a.m. because it's a trinity. What are you talking about, bro? Put the hookah down, relax. And study the deen. This isn't some school view religion. We watch the history of man. He's called the hookah. Do you look for jins? Do you have a talking dog? And then you eat some school view snacks. This is serious religion. Serious religion. So anyway, this man, he became Christian after he became Muslim. And then he said to his Christian friends, he said, He said the Prophet, he doesn't know anything, he said what I have written for him. Right? A few days later, this man dies of natural causes. He died. The Christians buried him. And the day after that, they found his body was laying on top of the earth. And they said, Ah, Muhammad and his Sahaba. What would they do? And the Prophet said to them, like, nothing to do with that. No companion. And it zooms his body. So they buried him a little bit deeper. A little bit deeper. The next day, they found his body laying on top of his carcass, laying on top of the earth. They said, Ah, Muhammad and his companions, these guys, what have they done to our brother? Right? And then they buried him in like this pit. Right? They nailed it up, put him in a pit. The next day they found his body laying on top of the earth. They said, leave it. You know what happens to a body when you leave it on top of the earth? This is a man who was spewed out by the earth, as it were. Spewed out. I vomited it. I had, oh, spewed him out. Get out of here. Spit him out. Why? Because if he denigrated one little denigration insult against the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah has got his hafiz back. Major vacuum. Like in Mecca. The Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he received the revelation and they actually didn't have the rabbin. So tell your ashira, the ones that are close to you. So he climbed a subah and he told the people, he said, wa subah, ya subah, ya subah. And this means, this is a battle cry of the Quraysh. Subah is related to subah. Right? This is what they would say if there's a raid coming into the city, an army coming in to raid a village in thunder. Right? Why is it related to the subah? Because raids usually happen during the day time. They don't happen at night. This is free Islamic rules of engagement. We don't attack people at night when they're sleeping. You look at what's going on now. You have drones dropping bombs on women and children. You know, from civilized, quote unquote, civilized military industrial complexes. Anyway. So, what was he saying? Sorry. What was the story? He talked about conflict. Ah, so he just started. Sorry man. He's getting old right now. So then he says to the people, he says, if I saw an army approaching the city on this other side, would you believe me? And I say, of course you are assaulting but I mean, you are assaulting but I mean, this is the title they gave him. He said, I am a warner to you. So first he warns them because according to there's an accident that first you save the people from harm before you give them the benefit. So first he's in the deal. He warns them and there's a silence. And then Abdul Ritsa, his uncle, he says, and he had that. This is why you call this out. Tell them that may you perish and tell them that and go look your Arabic and say, I'm left and go look your Arabic is an F bomb. We dropped an F bomb on the Prophet of Allah. So, you know, people, this is in public. This is his uncle. Right. There's people around. People drop F bombs on us. What do we do? I saw his brother driving in a car and using the mustard. Somebody cut him off. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. I thought like, six, seven, the bombs, I'm sitting in the car next to him. So, I'm sorry, brother, these games have cut me off. It's okay, of you subhu, subhu, right? So this is Abu Lahab, right? Abdul Riza is Abu Lahab. So this is what he did. And Abu Lahab used to walk behind the Prophet ﷺ and throw stones at him. So he used to put hands on the Prophet ﷺ. So what does Allah ﷺ say? Tabbat yadah abila abim mattaf. Tabbat yadah abila abim mattaf. Parish. Because remember he said, Tabbat lafah. Parish the hands of Abu Lahab. Tabbat at the end. This Tabbat at the end is not necessary. You get the point across. What is the point at the end? What is the point at this repeat? Is that Abu Lahab is done. It's over. As a mafia he used to say, tawba yadah aba. Abu Lahab tawba yadah aba. He's done. Why? Because he can't agree in the soul of the Prophet ﷺ. There's another story and this is leading up to what I really wanted to talk about is the Surah in the Qur'an, Surah 108, which is called Al-Qawthah. A beautiful Surah. Early Meccan Surah. So there's a few Surah in the Qur'an, few chapters in the Qur'an that are called the chapters of consolation. We'll console his Habib. When we go to her, we'll explain to her the Surah. And then its culmination is Al-Qawthah. So the background of the Surah is that in the name Al-Aasid Nua'il. Al-Aasid Nua'il. Because the Prophet's sons had died in infancy. Al-Basim and Abdullah were dying in their area. So this man and Al-Aasid Nua'il, he said, Al-Aasid Nua'il means he's in Qawthah. Al-Aasid Nua'il means they call off the tail of a horse. What does that mean? He doesn't have any sons. His lineage is in Qawthah. And this is how he used to refer to the Prophet ﷺ as Qawthah. So Allah SWT revealed, Al-Aasid Nua'il, Al-Qawthah. Beautiful Surah. A lot of things happening in the era. It's interesting, Imam Fafr al-Din al-Razi, who wrote the beautiful Tafsir, Tafsir al-Kabir, also known as B'fati for Al-Qaib. And people who speak Farsi, you have to know Fafr al-Din al-Razi. You can also be very good about Fafr al-Din al-Razi. Even if you don't speak Farsi, this is one of the great Tafsir of our tradition. He has a section in his Tafsir about al-Munasa bat. And al-Munasa bat really deals with the significance of the ordering of the surah, of the chapters in the Qur'an. So the surah itself is a literary unit and it's cohesive. Because the classical orientalists who basically had a bachelor's degree, the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in Arabic, he reached the Qur'an within the surah and he says, this doesn't make sense. It's changing of tense. What's going on here? First person, third person, singular, plural. This person has nothing to do with this person. And then it goes back to another. This is a jumble mess. But it's not what it is today, like Carl Ernst, who wrote the book, How to Read the Qur'an, obviously is a lot of what he says is very problematic. But he admits that the surah is a literary unit. But it's not just the surah itself, but the ordering of the surah. So not only is there inter surah, cohesiveness, but intra surah, cohesiveness. So he says it's interesting. If you look at the surah before, are I telling you that you can't deal with the deen? But that you can't deal with the yateen? What are you going to do? Have you seen the one who denies faith? And the one who rebuffs the yateen, the orphan, and doesn't even encourage the feeding of the poor person? Have you seen that one? So what is the last final data talking about here? What is he condemning? He's condemning bukhul, bukhul. If he's stingy, to be a cheapskate, the baqeel, the Prophet says, the reen baqeel is the one when my name is mentioned, he doesn't say salawat ahmeen. Is this so easy? Just say salawat ahmeen. This is a true baqeel. Another, the Arabs also use the word baqeel for the one who's constipated. If you just let go of what's in his body, it would actually benefit him, but it's not let it go. If you're well, it benefits you. So he's talking about bukhul here. And then in surah al-Khalfah, inna a'ba'ina. So i'a'far means to give. Bukhul and i'a'far, these are opposites. These are in contrast. These are in contrast. And then he says, fawailun lil musallim, a'allalina hum a'am salatim sa'un. Both of the worshippers were neglectful of their prayers. Sa'un, neglectful of their prayers. And this is in contrast to bukhul al-Khalfah. Faswati, pray, fear and honor, comparative. Pray. But a'allalina hum yorahun inna ma'un. Those who pray with riyat, what is riyat, ostentation? People who pray the show off. But you go into the masjid, you say, I'm going to do a quick quick salat and ma'un. And then I'm going to go. So you start your prayer and then a brother comes in and she wants to impress. And in your mind you thought to yourself, I'm going to do a'allasun and al-aflas. And then the brother comes in and you start going, a'allalina hum fawailun lil musallim, ma'un salatim sa'un, a'allalina hum a'am salatim sa'un. This is riyat. This is ostentation. So this is contrasting. Fasalli lirupika. Pray to your Lord exclusively. Ikhlaas, riyat ikhlaas. And then he says, wa'am na'un al ma'un. And those who prevent even little small neighborly things, they don't give even to their neighbor something small. And this is contrasting with al-Qawthab, wa'an ahawah, and sacrifice. Sacrifice, you sacrifice animals, right? What do you do? You give some of the meat to your neighbors. Right? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, ibn tabaqt maraqat infaqtil ma'a'a wa ta'ahat i'a'a'a'a'a'a'a Okay, ma'a'a'a'a'a'a'. When you cook a soup, increase its water, and be mindful of your neighbors increase the water with the soup. So this is something that Fahadina Razi mentioned in his tafsir, like mounasah that between the two. Anyway, so now, Allah swt started with naa. Right, which is Inna, this is the house where we keep the infantic particle, right, and naahnoo, the independent personal pronoun. So, they are only we, indeed we. Or no doubt we, ta'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a A'layna is past tense. This is called fear and malty, past tense, or perfect tense. What does perfect tense mean? It actually has been perfectly completed. It's done. Why does Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la use a past tense? When the Prophet ﷺ is living in Mecca, this is the early Heccan Surah, why? Because Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la is Azadī and Abadī. He has a pre and post-eternality. The time doesn't make a difference to him. He's not in time to partner with A'la. The other hurdamah, they say, that's true, but also the fact that when Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la in the Qur'an, what he speaks about today is that related to Al-Aqqilah. He uses the past tense to guarantee that they're going to happen. To guarantee that they're going to happen. The Prophet ﷺ tells me, he says, don't give me some coffee. And I say, consider it done. It's done. Did I do anything yet? I'm still sitting in my chair, but I have an intention to guarantee, you can take it to the bank and cash it. I'm going to give you some coffee. Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, I ask you now, is this already done for you? This is a consolation to the Prophet ﷺ It's already done. Consider it done. This is a significance of the past tense verb. Another thing that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la point out here is, why does Allah say A'qa and A'ta? There's different ways of saying to give in Arabic. To give something different in Arabic, which is a causative form. A'qa is also a causative form for people who study grammar. A'ta means you give something to someone, but that person has to do something with it, what you gave them. And if they don't do it, you can take it back. So there's strings attached. That's A'ta with al-Mahd. We gave Musa the book. A'ta, meaning that Musa, he has to do something with the book. He has a responsibility now. He can't just kick back or fix with a book or not. You've got to teach the book now. You've got to teach the expertise. Make bayan of the book. This is A'ta. Allah doesn't use this word. There's also wa-ha-ba. Wa-ha-ba. It means to give something to someone as a gift. Whether that person deserves it or not. Whether that person deserves it, whether there's a reason or not, Allah will give to someone. Allah doesn't let our hearts deviate after you've guided us and give it bestow upon us. Help us. This is fi'r du'a. We don't say fi'r amr. So Allah swt. He can't give Allah al-hamd. This fi'r du'a. Help us. Bestow upon us from your mercy, a portion of your mercy. You will know what that gift is. A'ta wa-ha-ba. But this is not the verb that Allah swt uses. He says A'ta. What does A'ta mean? It means to give to someone because that person deserves it. That person has merits. That person is meritorious. He has something good about that person. There's an ala. There's something good about that person. And when the verb is used, and it's given to someone, and this verb is used, it can never be taken back. There are no strings attached. And he can do whatever he wants with it. It's never taken back. There are no strings attached. He can do whatever he wants with it. This is the verb A'ta. So what is the merit that Allah swt is talking about here? What is the fallah in the prophet inna a'ta'ina ka? He isn't mentioned because your da'amana, you have shara Allah doesn't mention these things. So that we're going to say All of the prophet, everything about him is meritorious. In other words Allah is saying indeed we have already given it to you because of who you are on muhammad. It's just because of who you are. Because of you. Because you are you. This is why we have given it to you. Just because you are you. And this is how he's described actually in the Old Testament. The prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam is clearly prophesied in the post of Ahlul Kitab. But you know, people don't study these things anymore. Not even their own word of mouth. Perfect description of them. It says Arabic. That's the Hebrew. Arabic says is not the sweet. The Hebrew says All of him is muhammad. What does that mean? This is elliptical. This is poetry. Good poetry is not direct. It's elliptical. It wants you to think about something. All of him is muhammad. It's not just his name. Everything about him is praiseworthy. We have given you Kautha and Kautha. What is Kautha? This is from kathurah. Which means to increase something. Kautha is an intensive form. Kautha. But the wow is stronger than the yaha. Kautha is stronger than kathurah is stronger than the yaha. What does it mean? So Allah the Almighty says this is not a river in Jannah. This is a river in paradise. But most of the Allah the Almighty says these other things as well. Nubuwa and Quran and Shafa'ah. Ahlul Kitab. And other things as well. What does this mean? Allah has exalted the remembrance of the Prophet. He says Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah has put the name of the Prophet next to his name. It happens over and over in the Quran. Right? Kautha. So remember what Al-Aasif Dua said to the Prophet. He has no sons. He has no lineage. Right? This is from the special properties of the Prophet. Allah the Almighty gave Ahlul Bayt through his daughter Fatima and Ali. And we love the Ahlul Bayt. Because we are commanded to love Ahlul Bayt. Fatima is a piece of white flesh. Whoever makes her angry makes me angry. Whoever makes me angry makes Allah angry. Every lineage is cut off on the day of judgment. It's a high lineage and those who are connected to me, either through marriage or the other way. Imam Al-Alza'i He says it's interesting. Imam Al-Alza'i was a great mujtahid whose school was followed by the school of Imam Shafi'i and the school of Al-Halif. But he had a school of one point. He mentions a tradition of the god of Usama bin Zayi. Who is Usama bin Zayi? Imam Zayi was a great companion of the Prophet SAW. He was 15 or 17 years old when the Prophet SAW returned to the mercy of his Lord, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. He is the son of Zayi ibn al-Haqqa who is the chief of Rasulullah. At one point he was called Zayi ibn Muhammad, the son of the Prophet, the adopted son of the Prophet SAW. One time the Prophet SAW he took Usama bin Zayi and he put him on one of his knees. They were children and he put him on his other knee. They said, Allah Allah love them because I love them. So the daughter of Usama bin Zayi, his daughter and her Mola, her freed slave, they go to the caliph or not even Abdul Aziz. They go to the caliph. And the caliph, when he saw them he began following them around like a servant waiting on them hand and foot. The caliph. He offered his seat to her. He sat on the ground in front of her and then he started touching the clothes of the freed slave of the daughter of a companion of the Prophet. He started touching his clothes like this. They caved him. Why is he doing this? What's he doing? Because he wants them. That connection somehow, some connection with the Prophet SAW. Even her Mala used to go into the most touched mid-bar of the Prophet over his face. We don't read these things anymore. Even her Mala is a companion. No one knows the Ateenah better than the Sahaba. Nobody knows it. Don't tell me that as an American in 2013 as the most of our society, some of these Sahaba they don't know what they're doing. Stop it Allah. They don't know what they're doing. Stop it Allah. The best people is my generation. Some connection with the Prophet SAW. So tell them, we have given you tell them and this is the opposite of Al-Tahm. So pray to your Lord. Imperative. Pray to your Rabb. It's interesting Allah uses Rabb. What is the difference between the word Allah and Rabb? The Urlulah say here, the exegesis of the Prophets. When Allah is used, the Exalted expression is used. This denotes Allah. His transcendence is Jalal. When Rabb is used, this is more personal. His Eminence, his Ma'iyah, that he's close. He's close to us. So you know what is really interesting? When the Prophet SAW said during his Seerah when he's in a time where he's afraid of something, Allah will reveal a surah to him or verse to him and use the word Rabb. Like when he was in the cave he used the word Rabb. If you hear the word Allah, it's too majestic. So read the name of your Lord. Meaning there's Inaya. I'm taking care of you, relax. You're in our fortress. You're in our eye, so to speak. We love you. We are your Lord. We're taking care of you. This is the consolation of the Prophet SAW. So suddenly you don't get one help and sacrifice for your Lord. In Masha'a, I've got more than 12. Very interesting. And also Jalal who denigrated the Prophet SAW said the last verse says, indeed your hater, your hater, he's caught up. And there's a few ways to say hater. There's Adul. Adul means a rival or an arch enemy of foe. So who's the rival of Spider-Man? That man against the Joker. Those are right. Archdenesai if that's the plural of nemesis. Is it nemesis or nemesis? Whatever. So what is it, Adul? It's someone that's trying to hurt you but they may not necessarily hate you. They may not necessarily hate you. Like there are a lot of Christian scholars like John of Danesine who write a reputation of the Nebuah of the Prophet SAW because he's trying to discredit the Prophet SAW but he's not anything against the Prophet SAW. He just thinks that he's misnigment and he's the rival of people becoming Christian. This is an Adul. And then another level is in Bukhulism. It comes from the word Bukhul. This is an enemy who hates you and he's trying to hurt you. He hates you and he's trying to hurt you because he hates you. I'm not giving that an ass, for example. He said, I hated the Prophet SAW so much at one point that I went out in many Faswa, any military expeditions to kill him. I hated him so much. He had Bukhul. And then there came a time when I fell in love with the Prophet SAW so much. I couldn't even look at his eyes. I couldn't raise my head to look at him squarely at his face because I was overawed by him. And if you teach something to his son, Allah, on his deathbed if you ask me right now, what does the Prophet look like? I don't even remember because I never looked at him. I was so embarrassed. Because I fought against him so much but I didn't think the Prophet SAW would just sort of look down and right? I'm not giving that an ass. He's the father of him. And the ass. It's very interesting. The same man who said that the Prophet SAW had an appetite. He's got an ass. His own son, his own son, loved the Prophet SAW more than his own father. His own son would give his life to the Prophet SAW over his own father. And then there's a shahni on another type of enemy. This is the worst type of enemy, a shahadun. This is someone who he hates you, he's trying to hurt you, and he actually derives some sort of sadistic pleasure when bad things happen to you. It actually gives him pleasure. It's a sick mentality, right? People, you know, they write these things about the Prophet ﷺ, and it causes an uproar of the Muslim ummah. They actually, they like that. It tickles their fancy. People are strange. People are salting. It's a shahadun, I've got more than I've got. This person hates you, he's trying to hurt you, and he derives some sort of pleasure. This one is cut off. So my message of consolation to everyone that I'm out of time is that this affair is real. Allah is God. The Prophet ﷺ is a messenger of God. There's a jannah, there's a garden, there's a nab, there's hellfire. These things are real. The Prophet ﷺ was truthful. He gave us the message, and we should have yakin in this, and we increase in our yakin when we have knowledge of Allah ﷺ. Don't make this into the scooby-doo religion for deals. No more scooby-doo religion. We have to be serious. I used a little bit of grammar today to show you that there's a lot to study. It's not just the hybridist translation and whatever does make sense to me. The comparison to the elephant, what is that? Who cares? These things have significance. These things are deep. These things require analysis. It's either one of two things. Either this religion is so simplistic, anyone can do it, or it's too long, I can't do it. Like we have Arabic classes. I've started 10 or 11 Arabic classes. He's allowed to die. These people say, he says, too hard. One of my teachers, he was teaching Arabic, and a student came up to him and said, it's too hard. I can't do it. So he asked the student, he said, where did you go to school? He said, I have a master's from Stanford. He says, we're not alone. I went to a J.C. And I can do this. Why don't we tell ourselves that you're a genius. This should be very easy for you. We're telling ourselves this is too hard, or it's too easy a monkey to do it. So we don't honor the Deen. We don't honor the knowledge.
