Oh, you believe Itaqullah be conscious of Allah remember Allah Keep Allah at the forefront of your mind itaqullah To the believers that it's addressed directly to us That we have to remember the significance of this fact that the Quran when it speaks to us It's not just some it's not just some words That this is Allah's a agent the one who created the heavens and the earth the one who created us and the one who allows the blood to pump through our through our veins The one who allows our lungs to take the breaths that we take the Allah is a agent has us the one who Allows us to sit here The one who allows us to go home to our families and the one who allows us to go to our jobs That that's who addresses us The one who Organizes every affair The one who knows that each leaf and when it falls and where it falls and how many leaves on each tree And how many how many particles of sand in the desert and how many drops of water in the sea that that Allah is Oh, and then the one who knows all things He addresses us Oh, you who believe Itaqullah haqatun qatihi that be conscious of Allah as As the as he should be as is his right To fulfill that right and he says in the other aya that we always repeat every Juma khutba. Yeah, you have NASA to go Robbocom al-adhi khala Khokum in the same wahidah that Allah's outer reminds us If we think that we created ourselves. Yeah, you have nas not just to the believers, but every single Living and living person that that that hears this this eternal speech. He addresses them and says oh Mankind Mankind that has been separated from the rest of creation by having the intellect that has the ability to to to perceive Universals that has the ability to speak and communicate in Ways that other creation cannot Mankind that has has the ability to use tools and mankind has the ability to build these buildings and and create the phones that we have and And create the cars that we have that mankind That mankind that thinks he's so complex Allah's old address is him and says yeah, oh mankind reminding us that if you think you're so Significant be wary of the Lord Who a lady khala Khokum in the same wahidah that he created you from one soul and from that one soul came the many souls and The many humans that that's who he's addressing Yeah, you have nas The this speech is addressed to us The this speech is not something insignificant and The month of this speech shahru Ramadhan and the unzina fee in Quran the month of Ramadhan in which the speech was revealed is coming soon We're less than three months away from Ramadhan and we want to have a Ramadhan in Which we're aware of the speech of Allah in which we are aware of what we say in which That zikr that we make and one of the names of the Quran is the zikr That that revelation that came to us Has a profound impact on our hearts and that month changes us for the better that Ramadan and The word Ramadan comes from to burn It burns away that those things That we've accumulated throughout the year that shouldn't really be a part of us those thoughts in In the back of our mind or sometimes in the forefront of our mind those those those those preoccupations that we have that Ramadan is coming inshallah ta'ala may Allah Allah was to reach that Ramadan And that Ramadan that month of that Quran is coming and the time for deep reflection and introspection To deeply ponder about the meanings of what it means to remember Allah for us to be Cognizant of Allah Azza wa Jalla in every moment the one who created us Had it not been for him we wouldn't we wouldn't be here that that Allah When his words are pondered upon it brings a deep change in our hearts And if we want that change to come in that month of Ramadan inshallah ta'ala We should start now inshallah Then when we make this make this zikr When you remember Allah Azza wa Jalla by reading his reading his book by removing that by taking that book off that shelf and wiping the dust off of it it's accumulated dust and When we remove it remove it from from that shelf and remove remove that dust we should see that to be symbolic of us removing removing the rust that's that's Accumulator of our hearts to polish that mirror of our hearts To receive the meanings that Allah Azza wa Jalla has placed in that Quran The meanings that are both apparent to us and those that aren't apparent that that month is coming And so that when we stand throughout the nights of Ramadan In our prayers and all the extra phrase the tarawih that we do we say hdina sirat al mustaqeem We ask Allah with sincerity. Yeah, Allah guide us to the straight path that it's not and it's not an ask of ghafla It's not an ask of heedlessness That we don't ask Allah Azza wa Jalla heedlessness to make it make to ask him of something and not really mean it We say yeah, Allah guide us to the straight path, but our hearts are elsewhere That if our hearts are not oriented towards him Azza wa Jalla and oriented towards that straight path and we haven't taken that first step We haven't taken our means We can't expect to reach the ends Iqoun qawli hadha was taqfir allahani walakum nisan muslimin Yaqum is taqfirum, innahu wa l-qaqfun raheem Bismillah wa l-hamdulillah wa s-salatu wa s-salam ala Rasulillah wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa manwala This thicker that's revealed to us is a reminder. It's a reminder. It consists a reminder That the one unconditioned Worship that we do is thicker prayer has its times fasting has its times Hajj has its times Right these things have their times An allocated time that this action that you're doing it's for this particular time in no other time than that Can we pray? With her whenever we want can we pray Juma whenever we want do make Hajj whenever we want This day is we can't fast Right during the days of Eid we can't fast Those things have an allocated time because it's unconditioned that this thicker It there's no time that we can't be making that that we that we aren't making thicker That we don't make thicker that we don't have the opportunity to make thicker There's no time in which we aren't We don't have the opportunity consistently remind ourselves of Allah Azza wa Jannu And they can means to remember to mention right There's no time that's allocated for that thicker and if we see our Thicker to be constrained We've limited the significance of the one being remembered the mathkoor They have thicker is meant just for in your prayer and if it's meant just for Ramadan or if it's meant just after your prayers or if it's meant Right just before you will do or after you with whatever whenever our times are for thicker during our walk Then we've constrained the significance of the mathkoor the one that's being remembered Azza wa Jannu the one that's being remembered that the one that's being mentioned And Allah Azza wa Jannu says what I think of Allah Akbar that the remembrance of Allah is greater Whatever action that we do Whatever action that we do Whether it's Going to work Whether it's going to school whether it's driving here There's a thicker For it Whether it's a thicker of the tongue or the thicker of the mind or thicker of the heart whatever it may be There's a thicker attached to it There's some remembrance that we can have of Allah Azza wa Jannu in that action and where does that thicker come from? Where does the vista from which we see that thicker come from it comes from? the Quran The walking Quran sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when Aisha radiallahu anha said was asked to describe She had kind of hulquh the Quran that his his his being was Quran his his Characteristics with the Quran That if there is any tafsir of the Quran that's authoritative It's him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that if there's any method of understanding Quran It's him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that if we don't understand him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam And we are prepared to attach our hearts to the heart that the Quran came to that the mountains couldn't couldn't bear The revelation low ends and I had a lot of jabal illa right to hush Yeah, I'm gonna send them in hushed illa that how we revealed this Quran onto the onto the onto the mountains You would have seen it rent a sander out of fear from Allah out of reverence from Allah That that heart sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was able to receive that thicker and then he was able to become the manifestation of that thicker If we want to have a relationship to the Quran we don't have a relationship to Allah His dhikr We want to understand that Allah Azawajal his greater his remembrance is greater We can't do it without having an attachment to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that these few days that we have left into Ramadan less than 90 days That we that this is an opportunity for us to attach our hearts to him Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and to attach our hearts to the book that he came in sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and see them as Our sirat al-mustaqeem. Ehdeena sirat al-mustaqeem and we say Allah Azawajal Ehdeena sirat al-mustaqeem guide us to the straight path that we're asking Ya Allah guide us to that that that that scripture that you sent us and Then Ya Allah Azawajal Guide us to the one who sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came with that scripture and Manifest that scripture in his life And so there's a few days left for us To connect our hearts to that thicker so may Allah make us the people of thicker understand Allah Azawajal says That when we mention him He says mention me and I'll remember you that the remembrance of Allah Azawajal is greater than when we mention him Allah Azawajal And we remember him in each moment that he Allah he Azawajal mentions us in a gathering. That's greater and Maybe perhaps our thicker doesn't do much for us by Allah Azawajal remembering us and mentioning us does something for us Allah makes people think of me. Allah makes people talk about me. Allah makes the people who have consistent cognizance of him May Allah makes the people who see him in every step that we take may Allah Azawajal make us the people whose hearts are attached to a thicker May Allah makes the people sirat al-mustaqeem of the straight path. Now. I make the people who are consistently Focused and oriented on that straight path. Allah makes people who don't waver on that straight path and don't look side to side On that straight path. Now. I make the people who are goal oriented and see him see Allah Azawajal as our as our goal. May Allah Azawajal allow us to see him as our Muntaha as our as our as our end in our Muntada from where we came and may Allah Azawajal Make us the people who seem manifest. May Allah makes the people who are consistent in remembering him May Allah makes the people who have no solace except in his remembrance we say Allah mantas-salaam ومنك السلام تبارك تيادر جلالي وليكرام حينا ودخلنا دار السلام ربنا آتينا في الدنيا حسنا وفي الآخة حظنا وخينا عذاـب الن較 ربنا ه행 بلنا من أزواجنا ودراياتنا قروة تعيين وجعنا للمُتقين إيماما Particular teachers are parents we say Allah has mercy on them as they have mercy on us when we were young ربنا ه행 بلنا من أزواجنا ودراياتنا قروة تع Aaayinu وجعنا للمُتקين إيماما Allah was to remember that Allah and His angels mentioned in Hinsala As-Salaam that we're asked to do the same.
