 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين ثم صراته والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين حبيب إله العالمين بالقاسم المصطفى محمد وعاله طيبين الطاهرين اللهم صل على محمد وعاله محمد بيورز السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته نحن نتحدث عن قرآن والقرآن ونفهمهم باستخدام أهل البيت عليهم السلام نحن نحصل على أهدنة صراط المستقيم وفي قرآن نتحدث عن بعض الأشخاص ونشاء الله سوف نتحدث عن أهدنة صراط المستقيم وعاله قرآن هنا are people who are on the right path then why they keep asking and saying on a daily basis وعاله قرآن 10 times a day it's a very valid question why we keep asking many answers insha'Allah we will discuss it number one in order for us to stay on the right path we are in need of Allah's constant help aid to be on the right path because there are many obstacles that we face and we challenge on a daily basis and many of those obstacles it has the potential to deviate us from the right path when I receive a question or a doubt within my عقيد and my belief or about a person comes and asks why do we need to pray can we just thank Allah my heart is pure can I just thank Allah verbally why prayers is Allah in need of our prayers why zakat why khoms why hajj and all of our foradeen why do we believe in God who is a God that exists and all of the questions that the more we are going the more we are receiving these questions so some people have knowledge some people have the tools to be able to understand themselves and answer the questions some people will ask but some people will be silence and that becomes a good action plan anytime that you receive a doubt you receive a question you think of something that doesn't make sense within the religion find an expert what did I say find an expert I'm going to repeat myself find an expert within the religion and ask them don't leave that doubt in your mind because when you leave that doubt in your mind first doubt adds another doubt adds another doubt adds another doubt and more and more and more slowly slowly we see that doubt will take over our belief and we start doubting the religion doubting the existence of God more and more and God forbid we will see that I don't want to mention where we will end up not believing God and not praying and not believing any of the moralities and any of the narrations and the Quran and so on and so forth so please that becomes a good action plan when you see a post on Facebook when you see a question when you are confronted with some misconception about the religion about the belief about the spirituality about our practices about our rituals find an expert and ask them about it and Alhamdulillah this day and age all of our social medias our phones and all of our we have enough tools to be able to access an expert a religious scholar and answer them the question so we need constant blessing of Allah constant from Allah to be on the right path that doesn't mean that when I ask Allah Allah place me on the right path He should let go of me remember the hadith that we mentioned in the previous episode رسول الله محمس who is at the peak he kept repeating رسول الله and he used to shed tears and it said الله لا تكلني لا نفسي طرفة عينة أبدا و الله don't leave me to myself even through a glance of an eye I might be deviated because of the obstacles that are in front of me because of the obstacles that are placed in front of me by Shaytan who wants to deviate me and who swore سبحانه وتعالى that I will deviate them all except with exceptions and the rest of the verse so number one we need constant blessings an example will be when we see a light for example we have a light here these lights are in need of being connected to the generator and they are in need of receiving energy from the generator generator of the electricity to be on as soon as we turn them off they go off so for us to be on this right path we are in need of receiving Allah's blessing to be on the right path because of the challenges because of the difficulties because of the obstacles everything every minute we can deviate so we keep we keep needing again going with the example if somebody comes and disconnects the wires that is connected to the light okay it will be turned off well challenges like someone who is disconnecting us from the originator and from the one who is blessing us to stay on the right path and when Allah gives us a blessing second why we keep we have to keep saying اهدنى الصلاة المستقيم and sincerely believing it our Salah our recitation صورة الحمدن our Salah should be really really helping us straightening our path every day every day we hear something we deviate we come back again اهدنى الصلاة المستقيم only daily basis we need it so when we are asking Allah سبحانه وتعالى why we keep repeating it when Allah gives we might do something within these blessings that he has given us that we deviate and Allah will take this blessing away from us so we say اهدنى الصلاة المستقيم because amongst the first and the highest ranking of blessing it's being on the right path as we said within the previous episode for us to be on the right path in every decision that we are making in our عقيدة in our jurisprudential aspect of our lives in our moralities we need to be on the right path in every aspect if we are not if we abuse the blessings that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given us he might take it away so we say اهدنى الصلاة المستقيم oh Allah I was deviated bring me back guide me onto the right path we are not sure that we will be on the right path until the end that's the third answer why we need to keep saying it unfortunately we see a sect within the Islam that they consider they don't pray they have some kind of ritual which is not prayer why we ask them they consider them to be Muslim but they say we don't pray because we have reached the level of certainty we have reached the level of يقين hence we don't pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى because we have reached the يقين and they bring a verse of Quran to justify their action of not praying and not abiding by the شريعة not following the teachings of رسول الله أهل بيت عليهم السلام أسفارة الزكات is concerned أسفارة خمسة and all encouraging good discouraging evil فرع الدين basically because they say we have reached the level of certainty our question to them would be رسول الله they didn't reach the level of certainty and he kept praying until the last day of his life he had certainty not Allah سبحانه وتعالى so we see there were people who were religious and pious individuals however we see a good ending I see unfortunately when I go through different communities some of the elder members of the community they come to me age 55 60 65 they say Shaykh your lectures were good for the youth our faith our belief our morality our acts acts of worship are like nail nail within the wall we want bent we are on the right path we have secured our faith who said so we have a lot of examples of people who were religious but unfortunately because of the events that happened because of the test that they were going through they were deviated one of them that was from far far far history by the name of بالعم البعورة we read in chapter 7 verse 175 بالعم البعورة was a righteous religious individual during the time of Prophet Musa على نبينا وعليسلام Allah says chapter 7 verse 175 وطل عليهم نبأ الذي آتيناه آياتنا انسلخا منها فاتبعه الشيطان وفكانا من الغاوين الله says relate to them an account of him to whom we gave our signs Allah gave his signs to this individual how much he was elevated that Allah gave him from his signs and he had اسماء الله العظم some of the names of Allah where he was able to do some miracles but he cast them off there upon satan pursued him and he became one of the perverse people came to him and they talked to him from Bani Israel and other people they convinced him that you are close to Allah سبحانه وتعالى how about you come and go on top of the mountain and start cursing Prophet Musa على نبينا وعليسلام and ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to basically destroy Musa and kill Musa this person who has been given some of Allah's signs he wants to use it against Allah's messenger so اهدنا الصراط المستقيم we want to make sure what Allah has given us use it for the right path all of our abilities all of our potentials all of our energies all of our tools and blessings that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given us for us to make sure we use it on the right path that is from far far history very closer than that we see during the time of the Holy Prophet محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم زبر famous companions of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ومام عليبنا عبي طالب عليه السلام said how many times it was there that زبر with his sword relieved pain and hardship from the chest of رسول الله basically he was there at the forefront to defend رسول الله but we see that after رسول الله's departure and people they go through the test of are they going to follow Abu Bakr and Omar and Osman or they will be with امير المؤمنين عليبنا عبي طالب عليه السلام and the battle of Jamal and Imam says look at his ending احدنا الصراط المستقيم you might have a good start but it is important at the end why we keep repeating احدنا الصراط المستقيم because we want to be on the right path all the way where our soul reaches our neck and it's about to come we want to be on the right path and leave the right path and leave the right path and leave the right path and we want to be on the right path and leave this world being on the path and the right path and we have other examples within the history where we can read that they didn't have good ending it is very very important احدنا الصراط المستقيم when we recite that we believe او الله I really want to be on the right path او الله please aid me unto you I'm coming back for help that you keep me on the right path please don't let go of my hand and another answer that why we keep repeating in our Salah we want to get higher and higher in the level of guidance we can't we can't compare the level of guidance that the Rasool Allah محمد صلى الله عليه و آله was and Salman even Salman من نعا أهل البيت but there is no comparison between the level of guidance because the level of guidance of Allah is infinite so everyday we want more of the guidance we want to be more and more firm believer and the right path where Allah says in chapter 19 verse 76 و يزير الله الذين احتدوا حدا الله انهانس in guidance those who are rightly guided they are already guided but Allah wants to enhance and increase that's why we keep repeating اهدنا الصراط المستقل we get to a beautiful حديث by the commander of the faithful امير المؤمنين علي ابن عبي طالب عليه السلام for the definition of what is اهدنا الصراط المستقل means and why we keep repeating and insisting everyday minimum 10 times اهدنا الصراط المستقل امير المؤمنين علي ابن عبي طالب عليه السلام where he says في قوله اهدنا الصراط المستقل and mom says I am explaining to you what is اهدنا الصراط المستقل means guiding us to the right path قال ادم لنا توفيقك الذي به اطعناك في ماضي ايامنا و الله I want you to continuously we want you to continuously bless us to obey you the same way that we obeyed you في ماضي ايامنا in the previous days we want to keep praying to you obeying you worshipping you حتى so until نطيعك كذلك في مستقبل اعمارنا the same way that we were worshipping you and obeying you before we want to keep worshipping you and praying to you to you all the way to our up days and days that are coming so it is very important that it was we answered the question why we kept repeating why do we keep repeating اهدنا الصراط المستقيم even though we are Insha'Allah on the right path the path of Muhammad while we keep repeating it these were some of the answers the right path must be firm adamant immune from deviation and it should be shortest and fastest this basically is rational see we have point A and point B there is only one way that is the fastest shortest adamant when we come straight to here that doesn't have any curve this is the shortest and fastest any intellectual will agree with us that when we want to go from point A to point B we have to find a path that is safest shortest adamant firm will get us to the direction and we are safe and secure without curve because any other any other line between these two point A and point B any other line will have some curve will be the longest and who guarantees that it will give us to our destination so it is one path that we have as we mentioned within the previous episode we will keep we will remind ourselves that it is only one path to Allah SWT we cannot argue with our many paths to Allah SWT it is not rational based on the verse of the Holy Quran that اهدنا الصرات the right path that we have to keep in mind and we are reaching to this point that اهدنا الصرات المستقيم shortest firm and adamant immune from deviation and the fastest no curve or twist to this path so what is this right path we discussed there are no there are no ways to Allah SWT it's only one way one path and this path needs to be adamant and firm what is this path do we find this answer within the Holy Quran has Allah SWT cleared for us the path or should we just go and find our own path Insha'Allah we will discuss it within the next episode we will conclude our lecture by praying to Allah سبحانه وتعالى to hasten the appearance of our beloved so he will help us Insha'Allah be firm on our right path insha'Allah بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اللهم كن لوديك الحجة ابن الحسين صلواتك عليه وعلى آبائه في هذه الساعة وفي كل ساعة وليا وحافظ وقائدا وناصر ودليلا وعينة حتى تسكنه وردك طوع وتمتعه ورحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين
