[0:02] Biss Miler rahmani Rahi in the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the
[0:12] most merciful. Heard a lot below heard Part Excellence presents lessens from the stories
[0:31] of the prophets by Mufti Ismail even Mussa menk Ali Saram on Earth part one
[0:50] Adam Peace be upon him on earth Part one Saram Arakatu Smilah Rahman Rahim al
[1:02] hamd Alamin or Solatua Salam Alah Muhammad Sola lahu Ali. He was seldom h
[1:07] alah Ali. He was happy as main. All praise is due to a
[1:11] loss of Hanna huata Ailah. Blessings and salutations upon Muhammed salalahu Ali, he
[1:15] was seldom. We ask a loss of Hannah Huatailah to bless him and to
[1:19] bless all his companions, to bless every single one of us, to grant
[1:23] us goodness. Once again, we ask a loss of Hannah Huatailah to accept
[1:26] from us this great act of worship that we have engaged in known as the
[1:30] Taruiha in the evenings of the month of Ramavan. And may alass of Hannah
[1:36] huata Ailah accept from us also the fasting, and may he make us from
[1:40] those who fast correctly. May He make us from those who can abstain in
[1:45] the true sense, from those things that we are meant to be abstaining from.
[1:49] Remember, whilst we are fasting, it is not only to abstain or
[1:53] to be conscious of what is going into your mouth, but even what is
[1:57] coming out of your mouth. This is something that sometimes we forget about.
[2:01] So you find people who are fasting Masilla. They stay away from food ten
[2:06] minutes before the time, right up to five minutes after the time. But
[2:08] throughout the afternoon they were swearing and lying, and you know, engaging in
[2:14] all forms of bad mouthing that is not acceptable. The Hadith, the prophets
[2:17] of Allah Alam says, and we repeat this every year Malama da akaula zuri
[2:23] wele am labihi al Jahala Falai Sali lahi hajatun fi and YadA alpa amahu Washaabah.
[2:29] Whosoever is not going to abstain or refrain from the vulgar or the bad
[2:36] speech, that which is incorrect, unacceptable, and the false witness and so
[2:40] on during the month of Ramaban whilst fasting, then alas subhanahuata Ala does not
[2:46] need the fact that they are abstaining from their food, they are actually wasting
[2:50] their time. That having been said, yesterday, we had been speaking about
[2:55] how Chipan had planned with Adam Alaihsala to a Salam the first of mankind,
[3:04] and how a loss of hannahuat Aalah created him. Today, we'd like to
[3:07] continue from where we left off, and I'd like to make mention of a
[3:12] few points that we did not mention yesterday. To begin with, how did
[3:16] the angels know that this man who's going to come on to the earth is
[3:23] going to be corrupt and is going to spill blood? How did they know
[3:25] that? They said it immediately. So there are two explanations to it.
[3:30] The first one is because of the previous experience with what we've learned was the
[3:36] bin kind who were on the earth. So because those who are on the
[3:39] earth before, that is what they did. So a loss of Hannah huat
[3:43] Aalah when he decided to create Insan automatically they understood that if this Insan is
[3:49] going to go as a khalifa onto the earth, then they will also engage
[3:53] in something similar. That is number one. Number two, when a loss
[3:57] of Hannah huat Aalah book the dust from the earth. They knew that this
[4:04] insan is going to go on to the earth, and if he's a khalifa
[4:09] going to come one after the other, he will want as much as possible
[4:13] for himself during that lifespan, and he will become selfish, and he will
[4:17] It will then result in each one becoming jealous of what the other one has.
[4:21] And we will see that when we get to the story of the children
[4:26] of Adam alahis Salah to a Salam. That is where it all started.
[4:29] So we ask a loss of Hanahuwatala to grant us a deeper understanding. We
[4:32] need to know that we should defy that Iblis, that satan, that devil
[4:39] who promised Allah that we would actually follow him, and not Allah. We
[4:44] are following a loss of Hannah Houatala and not Iblise. And something very interesting.
[4:48] The mercy of a loss of Hannah Houatala is so great that if a
[4:54] person has to follow Iblis for seventy years or for a loa long period of
[5:00] time, if for one second they have to then turn to a loss of
[5:05] Hannah huwat Alah, everything is wiped out, every drop of evil is wiped
[5:12] out, and they start with a new leaf. So to turn a new
[5:15] page is not difficult for mankind, but we need to turn the page.
[5:20] So hannah lah, when you're reading a book and you've got to the end
[5:23] of it, you want to know what's on the next page. If you're
[5:26] not going to take your finger and try and turn the page, how is
[5:29] it going to turn. So the same applies and effort is required to please
[5:32] a loss of Hannah Houa to Alah. May a loss of Hannah houa to
[5:35] Allah grant us forgiveness. Another point we need to know is yesterday we made
[5:41] mention of the size of Adam Adahi sala to a Salam, and we said
[5:44] the minimum was that he was eighteen meters tall. Imagine what is eighteen meters
[5:49] very very tall, Marshallah. Now that is the original height of man,
[5:56] and we've become shorter, and like what the theory of evolution suggests that man
[6:00] was short, and now they becoming taller. I do know that nowadays because
[6:04] of all the fertilizer in the shoes of the youngsters, they're becoming taller than
[6:09] usmash allah, or should I say, all the genetically modified foods and so
[6:13] on. But that does not mean that they are as tall as those before
[6:16] them. We know of the previous nations who used to alas subnahuat Ala says,
[6:21] they used to carve the mountains to live in the mountains. Imagine what
[6:25] must have happened at the time, how big they must have been. So
[6:28] we are minute compared to them. Not only that they had an average life
[6:32] span of one thousand years. And the prophets allallah hu aalehas alam says ama
[6:36] u ommati mah baines stina ila sabain. The life span of the members of
[6:42] my Omah is between sixty and seventy years. I always like to say if
[6:46] a person has clocked seventy, they're actually now in extra time. Lahu akbar.
[6:53] It is a gift of Allah. They can now prepare even better to
[6:58] meet with a loss of hannahuat alah Allah have mercy on all of us.
[7:00] And remember, no matter how long you live, you have to go.
[7:03] No matter how long you live you have to go. There is no ways
[7:06] you are not going to go. So the best, the best bet,
[7:11] if you were to take a bet, is to prepare for when you are
[7:14] going. People don't want to understand that which is so simple. There are
[7:18] still people who say, no, let me enjoy. Well, if you
[7:20] go whilst you're enjoying, there will be no enjoyment thereafter. So the best
[7:25] bet is to work hard. It's like a person saying, let me not
[7:28] study for the exams, and then you have the examination. Who was foolish?
[7:31] It is you to blame. Hanahoma Ala grant is a deep understanding.
[7:35] So when we are going to be resurrected on the day of Kiyama, we
[7:41] will all be the height of Adam alaihis salah to a Salam. Every one
[7:45] of us will be eighteen meters tall. Imagine every one of us will be
[7:49] eighteen meters tall. Very interestingly, the Haditha of rasulul Salam makes mention of
[7:56] when the trumpet will be blown, everything will come to an end, everything
[8:01] will be destroyed, and thereafter there will be a rain, a thick white
[8:03] rain that will fall on the earth, and alass of Hannah Hawatala will cause
[8:09] with that rain the humankind to grow just like trees grow. Just like trees
[8:18] grow, humankind will grow into what is known as the Marshal or onto the
[8:24] plains of the Marsha, where Allah wants to resurrect us. We don't know
[8:30] exactly where. We've just been given a slight description. But wherever Allah has
[8:33] chosen for that land of Marsha, we will all be resurrected and we will
[8:37] grow like trees. That is a haditha abohrera or the Alahoanhu. And it
[8:41] is mentioned very clearly. And do you want to know. Every time a
[8:46] lass of Hannahwatala makes mention of the rain of mercy in the Koran, he
[8:52] always makes mention of the fact that this is how we will be resurrected.
[8:58] When the rain of mercy falls down on the earth, the dead earth,
[9:01] which was brown, suddenly becomes green and it grows. Things grow, And
[9:05] Allah says Kadali canusure in another place, he says, Kadali can of regional
[9:13] mauta la Allah Contadan. Come in that way, you shall be resurrected in
[9:18] the same way we will take out the dead laho Akabar. So every time
[9:24] you see the rain and you see something grow, you should think of resurrection.
[9:28] How we will also be resurrected. And Alas of hanahu at Ala says,
[9:31] we were taught through the lips of rasululas a llallaho ali, he was
[9:35] seldom that we will be growing to eighteen meters and we will be growing to
[9:39] a certain age. What is that age? Thirty three years of age,
[9:43] So eighteen meters and the peak of your age is thirty three. You will
[9:48] be at the age of thirty three on condition that you died after puberty.
[9:52] Those who died prior to puberty and they were children, their condition is different.
[9:56] They will be waiting for their parents, and they will be interceding on
[10:01] behalf of their parents by the permission of a loss of Hannah howat alah if
[10:03] Allah wills and permits. But they will be waiting. And this is why
[10:07] we say. Those who have lost their children, either through still birth or
[10:11] through miscarriage or in infancy, those children, by the will of a loss
[10:15] of Hannah howat Allah, will be waiting in the ahera and they will plead
[10:18] with a loss of Hannah. Howat ala ya Allah. You did not give
[10:22] my mother the time to have me and to probably play with me and so
[10:28] on. So yeah, Allah, I want my mother to come with me
[10:31] into Jenda. My parents should come with me into Jenda. So this is
[10:35] the pleading of the little child and if this mother happened to be from amongst
[10:39] those who tried to please a loss of hanahawat Alah, and the parents bore
[10:45] patience for the sake of a loss of hanahwat Alah. When they suffered the
[10:48] loss, by the will of Allah, that will be a means of their
[10:50] entry into Jenda. It will be a means of their entry into Jenda.
[10:54] So this is a point of comfort. So we need to know everyone will
[10:58] be at the age of fires three and they will be eighteen meters tall.
[11:03] And then alas Subhannah, howat Ala will begin taking haab or the reckoning will
[11:07] commence ma Alam, make that day easy for us all So Alas of hannahuwat
[11:11] Alah thereafter makes mention of the day, the day which Adam alaih Salah towards
[11:20] Salam was created. It is also a narration in Saheh Muslim again by Abu
[11:26] Hora a Lahuan, where he says Friday is the best day that the sun
[11:31] has risen upon. Why it is the day that Adam was created. So
[11:37] that was from the lips of Muhammad Salalah ali was Alam. He told us
[11:41] it is the day that Adam was created and it is the day that he
[11:45] was granted entry into paradise. What does that mean? From that hadid we
[11:48] understand that he was created. There is difference of opinion where exactly he was
[11:54] created. Was he already created in paradise or in another place in a place
[11:58] that alan. So from this narration it seems like he was created and then
[12:03] he was put into paradise. From this narration, because it says fiihi udhill
[12:09] Jenna on that day he was granted entry into Jenna wafihi ui jaminha Walataku musa
[12:16] atu ila fiyomil Juma. The hadith continues to say, and the day of
[12:20] resurrection will not happen except on a Friday. So it is the most powerful
[12:24] of the days of a loss of hannahata aala. Now on a Friday,
[12:28] what time of the day was Adam ali Salam created? Very interesting? One
[12:33] of the correct narrations makes mention of the fact that he was created in the
[12:37] last hour of the Friday, which would mean between Asor and Mahrid. So
[12:41] this is why you know that there is an hour in or on a Friday
[12:46] when any dua that is made is accepted. That is a correct narration authentic
[12:50] that there is one hour sometime during the day on a Friday when if you
[12:54] are making a dua at that moment, then it will definitely be accepted.
[13:00] So what is your bet. We don't know the exact hour and we don't
[13:03] know what it is. Some say it is when the Imam goes up,
[13:05] some say it is between the sitting of the Imam, and some say it
[13:09] is this time and that time and so on. Your best bet repeat the
[13:13] dua the whole day on a Friday. Lahu akwara. Just repeat the dua
[13:18] Lahu akar malas of hannahuat Alah open our doors. We normally try to think
[13:22] of something logical and this makes the most sense. So when it comes to
[13:26] the creation of Adam alai is Salah to as Salam, we see it was
[13:31] in the last hour, and this is why we are taught to make dua
[13:35] also at that particular time on a Friday. And it's very interesting that this
[13:39] is mentioned in the hadith of rasululas and Allaho alihi was Slam. Yesterday we
[13:43] spoke about how Hawah was created from the rib of Adam Alaihi sala to a
[13:48] Salam. There is a narration that makes mention of what happened when she was
[13:52] created. Yes, she came in as a gift. He was very happy.
[13:56] He asked her, who are you? Question? Who are you?
[14:01] She says, I am a woman, you're a woman, Subhanala. I
[14:09] am created as a pair for you. Yes, he was very lonely.
[14:13] So now he was happy. He says, lima frouleichti. Why were you
[14:16] created? She says, li ascuna elik for me to give you comfort,
[14:22] company, solis Subhanala. Now this is what is meant to be achieved by
[14:28] marriage up to today, when you marry, what you meant to be getting
[14:33] from marriage is comfort. It is company, companionship, someone whom you can
[14:39] spend the rest of your life with marshalla in harmony, in peace, who
[14:43] will bring you lots of goodness. But what happens nowadays they tell you this
[14:48] is not the same man. I knew when I was dating him. That's
[14:52] what he said when I was dating him. He was such a lack of
[14:54] guy. Yes, this is what people say. No, do you what
[15:00] was happening when we were dating, Chathan was beautifying. Now that we're married,
[15:05] Chatan goes away. Then he comes back with a new task the same
[15:09] evening, how to separate the two. He was achieving by making us commits
[15:13] sin before marriage and thereafter when we got married. He now is trying to
[15:18] achieve by making us fight. This is why when we follow what Allah says,
[15:24] we won't go wrong. If you have married based on proper character and
[15:28] conduct and dean and so on, that will remain intact and we will be
[15:33] able to recognize how Chaipan is coming into our lives. I normally tell people
[15:37] on campus, with all due respect to those advarsity, do you go to
[15:43] the university to get married? They said, no, we went to study.
[15:46] So when you went to study, what happened? You came back married?
[15:50] Marcia Allah, If you come back married, it can work al handuri
[15:54] life you know how to do it, and if you know how, for
[15:56] example, to choose a spouse. But sometimes the environment on campus, and
[16:02] we need to know this is common for all. So for that reason,
[16:07] we see someone on campus in that environment, we get on with them because
[16:11] there is so much in common. The minute we take them home after marriage,
[16:15] it's a totally different environment. She doesn't like it there, and we
[16:18] don't like it in her environment. It no longer works. Had you remained
[16:21] on campus all your life, your marriage would have blossomed. You'd probably have
[16:26] children who are professors as well. Alasubhnah huata Alah grant us goodness and understanding.
[16:30] This is obviously just a point to try and make mention of how important
[16:34] it is to choose a spouse correctly wherever it is. We're not trying to
[16:38] say this is wrong or that's wrong. If we do it the wrong way,
[16:41] it's wrong. If we do it with Allah in mind, it's correct
[16:45] in shallah. So alas Subhanahuatlah makes mention of this, and we know that
[16:48] hawa alai hasalatua Salam was created from the rib of Adam. And I did
[16:52] make mention, and I repeat, and I stress that is not an insult
[16:56] to women, not at all. If that was an insult to women,
[17:00] it is a bigger insult, or it would have been a bigger insult for
[17:03] the fact that man was created from dust. If you were to ask me
[17:07] what is better a rib or dust, we would probably say rub, because
[17:11] you can't eat dust mashallah. So, my beloved brothers and sisters, let's
[17:15] understand this, and let us understand and realize no need to be apologetic,
[17:19] no need to say that we have been degraded by the prophets of Allah the
[17:23] Salam or by Allah. No ways. No, it is an honor,
[17:27] and that honor shall remain intact up to the day of Tiama. Then a
[17:33] las subhnnah howat Ala speaks also about Iblis, and we made mention of the
[17:37] point where Iblis was instructed with the angels to prostrate to Adam alaihi Salah to
[17:42] Salam. And you recall what he says. He says, no, I
[17:45] won't not me. I'm better than him. So whose sin was it?
[17:49] It was the first sin being committed against a lass sup Hannah howat Alah.
[17:53] That sin was committed by Shaipan. So he became known as the accursed and
[18:00] the one who was thrown out by Alasala. Listen to what alas is,
[18:07] what is kulnil mala ikatis judouni Adama passa jadu in even is Abbah. When
[18:18] we instructed the angels to prostrate to Adam, they all did. Besides,
[18:22] when we when we instructed the angels to prostrate to Adam, they all did.
[18:25] Besides bliss he refused Abba that means he refused flat for Kulna. Yeah,
[18:33] Adamo in Ahada is auji fa your region Kuma, I mean Jadan ninety
[18:41] fata. So we said, oh, Adam, look at this enemy of
[18:47] yours. He is an enemy of yours. You better know from now that
[18:51] he is an enemy of yours. Make sure that he doesn't work his plan
[18:56] against you to remove you from this paradise and the goodness you are in.
[19:00] Now just bear this in mind because we mentioned it yesterday. Today I want
[19:03] to derive a different lesson from the same verse. So now, iblise,
[19:08] what did he do. He looks at a lasub Hanah Howatala and he's very
[19:12] angry because Allah kicked him out of paradise. A Lah kicked him out of
[19:18] paradise as a result, so he was no longer there. But now what
[19:22] happened is he says to a las sub Hahnah Howatala that all Lah, because
[19:27] of what you've done. Now, I'm going to show you that this mankind,
[19:30] I'm going to lead him astray, and I'm going to come to him
[19:33] from all sides, from the left, from the right, from the front,
[19:37] from the back, from the bottom. But he did not make mention
[19:41] of the top. He didn't make mention of the top. Why lahu akabar
[19:47] I blise he he will never ever come whilst we know he is coming.
[19:52] If we had to know he is coming, we would run away. If
[19:55] you know a thief is coming, you would go. But if you don't
[19:57] know the thief is coming, he's got to come quietly. When you're looking
[20:00] that way, he comes from this side. When you're looking this way,
[20:03] he comes from that side. When you're looking there, he comes from there,
[20:07] and so on, and he comes in at disguise. And at the
[20:10] top we find a loss of hannah Houa to Alah's protection always, and a
[20:14] loss of Hannah Houa to Alah grants us protection at all times. And if
[20:18] we are to raise our hands to the owner of entire universe to protect us
[20:22] from the devil, then he will never ever be able to harm us.
[20:27] He will not. But a loss of Hanah. Howat Alas say is diciblisse.
[20:32] He started blaming Adam alais Salam. He started blaming Adam to say,
[20:38] because of you, I've been removed. Now thing for a moment was that
[20:41] the reason why he was removed was he removed because of Adam. No,
[20:45] it was his sin that made him cursed. Now let's draw a lesson for
[20:51] our lives here. When we have a problem in our lives, when we
[20:53] have difficulty, we blame others. Sometimes when we are the root cause,
[21:00] when we have done something wrong. And sometimes we have a problem, whether
[21:02] it's at work, whether it is internationally, the wars that are going on,
[21:06] whether it is nationally, whether it is in the home or at work,
[21:11] wherever it is, we do not address the root cause, so we
[21:15] never ever solved the problem. Look at you, bliss. He did not
[21:19] want to tackle the root cause. What kicked him out of Jenna? What's
[21:23] not Adam? It was his sin, his own sin. So instead of
[21:26] saying ya, Lah, I'm sorry, I sinned and I was wrong,
[21:30] and now you've kicked me out because I was wrong, so I blame myself,
[21:33] he decided to ignore the root cause and to go to blame Adam,
[21:38] who was innocent of that. What was Adam alai Salam's crime? Nothing?
[21:42] Today, if we look at the issue of terrorism across the globe, everybody
[21:45] says the Muslims are terrorists, these people are this. Nobody went to look
[21:49] at the root cause. How did it start, where did it go?
[21:53] What oppression began, what resulted in this result that we are seeing today?
[22:00] What is it? Let us address the root cause. Nobody wants to look
[22:03] at that. Everybody wants to say, these people are this, and these
[22:06] people are that. That having been said, Islam does not preach terrorism at
[22:10] all, not at all, and I think that is quite clear to all
[22:12] of us. We promote harmony, we promote peace, we promote dignity,
[22:17] we promote respect, we promote security, we promote peace in every single way.
[22:22] We ask a loss s of hanah houwatala to grant us peace across the
[22:25] globe. But when you get a criminal coming to create havoc and then they
[22:30] blame you, it only reminds you of he blease, the devil who did
[22:33] refuse to prostrate and then he started blaming Adam alai salad to asaalam. So
[22:37] we ask a loss of hanahuat alah to grant us a deep understanding and to
[22:41] make us look at the root causes of the problem we have, whether it's
[22:45] in our homes, whether it's in our businesses or social level, whatever other
[22:48] level. May als of hanah houatala solve our problems. For us. Then
[22:52] you have a loss of hannahuat aalah. Raising the point that Iblis when to
[22:59] Adam alai Salam, and he says, hal adun Shakillayabella, I want to
[23:07] show you this tree here. There are two things you'll achieve from it.
[23:11] One is you will have life forever, which means health and life. You're
[23:15] going to love forever. And two is you'll have lots of ownership. You'll
[23:19] own a lot. So Adam alai sala to a Salam. One might ask,
[23:25] how did Ibliz get this message to him when Iblis was already kicked out
[23:30] of Janna. It's a very very interesting question. He was kicked out of
[23:33] Janna, how did he communicate? So now we go back to another verse
[23:37] of the Puran. We are las hannahuatlas is in huarah kum huaa kabinu hum
[23:45] in haithu la tarahum. He and his own army. They see you from
[23:53] a position that you do not see. Then they have this sort of remote
[23:57] control what we know to there's bluetooth effects Wi Fi. They call it wireless
[24:06] akabar. So the same way we have this wireless and bluetooth. It's easily
[24:10] understood. Your connection is not here, but you're connected. Where is it?
[24:14] It's in the a How did it get here while through remote controlled There's
[24:17] something between here and there that I don't understand. You don't understand. Maybe
[24:21] a few you know fundies understand that only alanos So a Bliss knew how he
[24:26] got the message from outside Jenna. He got the message into Jenna. How
[24:32] he did that, he knows. Allah warned us, and Allah said watch
[24:34] out, be careful, didn't we say moments ago? He won't come to
[24:38] you direct. I'm sure you I'm a bleassed and I want to do this
[24:41] to you. He won't come that way. Secondly, it is reported that
[24:45] there was a serpent, a serpent from the army of a Bliss that was
[24:49] in there, and he came hiding. He was hiding in the throat or
[24:56] in the neck, or inside the serpent, and he came and then he
[24:59] spoke. Now one of these two alas subhannahuata Ala knows best exactly which one
[25:03] it is. But what we do know as a conclusion is that he came
[25:07] in secret, and he came without coming out full force to Adam alais Salam.
[25:12] Apparently he didn't appear. He just came in a way that he was
[25:15] not seen properly, in disguise and so on. So he told Adam alais
[25:21] salam, these two things you will achieve. What happens to us when we
[25:25] are sick, we first go to the doctor Marshall Lla the doctor Marshalla,
[25:29] we make to artou allah and we say ya a la kiyomi. Then we
[25:32] go to the doctor and then we get our medication and we start having it.
[25:34] A month passes, we're not getting better. Two months past, we're
[25:37] not getting better. Now what happens The same Chapan comes back and he says,
[25:41] hell adunka chada ratil hundi, he's telling you the same thing. Can
[25:45] I show you a different way? I want to show you there's another way
[25:48] you can get your health back. Let's go to the witch doctor. Let's
[25:52] go to the nanga. Let's go to the fortune teller. Let's go to
[25:56] some one who calls himself a big molana who can tell you exactly who did
[26:00] magic on you? Finished what happened? We fall into the same trap for
[26:06] what for health and life? Lahu akaba. Look at the exact trap that
[26:11] is used by the same ibliss against us, who are the ulafa of Adam
[26:15] Alahisalam. We came after him and he's using the same trap. The moral
[26:19] of what is being said is whenever we are sick, we pray to Allah,
[26:23] very strong prayers. We can ask others to pray for us. There's
[26:26] no problem. We can visit the doctor, we can get medication, but
[26:30] we will not do anything that displeases Allah in order to achieve good health,
[26:37] because, come what may, we have to die, whether today or tomorrow,
[26:40] and we are failing our test if we've done something that displeases a low
[26:44] sub hannahawat ada. So anything that is disallowed, we are far away from
[26:48] that, and we need to be far away from that. That is what
[26:51] we learn. Another point that is learned sometimes our business is failing. We
[26:56] have a loss, then it burns down, then we happen to grow it
[27:00] up again, and then a robber comes, and then we happen to do
[27:03] something, and the tax man comes, and we just failing one after the
[27:06] other. What do we say? We are not satisfied. We will go
[27:08] from one man to another. I think I'm suffering bad luck here. So
[27:12] what should you do? He tells you you need to take three bones,
[27:18] and you need to put them in a certain Mercedes Benz sign. And then
[27:21] you need to take three lemons and put one in each compartment of that Mecedes
[27:26] Benz sign. And the lemon needs to not weigh more than eighty grams.
[27:32] And then you need to squeeze each lemon with five drops coming out of the
[27:34] lemon. And then you need to take that juice together and take a little
[27:37] bit of saffron. Lah. By hearing this already, we need to know
[27:42] that that is iblis. What is it? Let me tell you. When
[27:45] you're sick and someone says, cut five lemons, go and get ten roses,
[27:49] what is happening? Let me explain. It's very important for us to
[27:53] explain it. Please is laughing at us and laughing at a loss of Hannahataana,
[27:59] that's all he's doing. He says, Look, didn't I warn you
[28:02] that I'm going to lead these people to worship me? When you tell them
[28:06] pray when you are sick, and go and seek proper medication when you are
[28:10] sick, and do that that you are allowed to do when you are sick.
[28:14] You watch, They're not going to listen to you. I'll tell them
[28:15] cut eighty lemons, they're going and cut them. I'll tell them go staf
[28:19] rula. I heard one man tell a certain woman that someone has done magic
[28:23] on you, and it is someone from your own family. So it broke
[28:26] the whole family to pieces. How did they know? Did Jibril come to
[28:30] them? If Jibril didn't come to them, then Ibliz came to them.
[28:36] Lahu akbar. And when Ibliz comes, he pretends he's a Muslim. He
[28:40] tells you, I'm a Gin, I'm a clean gin, I'm a Muslim,
[28:42] I'm ashaby. I know the prophet. He definitely knows everything. As
[28:48] we said here, let's learn the lesson from this. When Ibliz comes,
[28:52] he comes in disguise. So those who think they control a jin, if
[28:56] that Jin tells you it's a Muslim, it's not a Muslim because in the
[29:00] Shariah of the Jin, they are not allowed to come close to you as
[29:03] mankind. Yeah, charl Jin, God is thank thorough, tominal is alas
[29:11] is oh jin kind. You've made enough fools out of these mankind, enough
[29:15] of them. And in satu Jin, go and read it alases or and
[29:19] who can ai jealum minal in Siami jalim menal Jin fazadu hum. There are
[29:32] so many men from mankind who seek protection and goodness and cure from gin kind.
[29:37] But it only increases them in becoming more and more astray and in greater
[29:44] misfortune and in more difficulty. That's what Jing tells us. So are we
[29:48] allowed to seek the assistance of Jin? The answer is no. And this
[29:52] lesson is for those who claim to be owning gin and to be having Jin.
[29:56] Believe me, if he please could lie to Addam alais salam, him
[30:00] to lie to us is far more easy, because Adam Alaisanam knew him,
[30:04] he saw him, he recognized him, he knew everything, and still he
[30:08] was gone with us. We haven't even seen him. So let us not
[30:12] be fooled. There is no quick fix. Like when a person doesn't have
[30:15] wealth. He can either work very very hard and have a salary every day
[30:21] he's earning a little bit, and slowly but surely he becomes rich. That
[30:23] is the difficult way, but it is the permissible way, and you are
[30:26] passing your test. Or he can choose to go and steal at night and
[30:30] go and rob and go and take this and that, and go and engage
[30:34] in armed robbery. He will have a lot of wealth, but his life
[30:37] will be misery. He will live in constant fear of being caught and so
[30:41] on. What's the point. But he became rich and he stole from so
[30:45] many people, and then suddenly when that pyramid scheme crashes, everything comes to
[30:48] a halt. Ma alas of Hannah hoatala, grant us all understanding and goodness.
[30:52] The same way with health. When we are sick, you pray and
[30:56] you continue, and you try the permissible means, and you try from the
[31:00] Qur'an and the correct Sunna of the prophets allallah hu ale He was seldom and
[31:03] thereafter the cure will come to you, slowly but surely. But if you
[31:07] want a quick fix, you can go to the witch doctors and the others
[31:11] who will fix you overnight. But what did they do. They use the
[31:15] bliss who's laughing at you, laughing at allah sabhanah hawat ala and saying,
[31:18] yea allah, look, I made fools of all these people. So we
[31:22] need to know, we need to understand. There is great detail. I
[31:25] don't have the time to go into exactly how it works, but it's quite
[31:27] simple. The spirits that we have with us. They are called spirits by
[31:32] the local African traditionalists, but we call them the korna a karin. Every
[31:37] person has an angel and they have a devil a gin. The angel is
[31:41] ordering you to do good, the karin is ordering you to do bad.
[31:45] And you are the soul who allows one of the two to win. If
[31:48] you allow the good force to win, you become a good person. You
[31:52] allow the bad force to win, you become a bad person. When a
[31:53] person dies, his soul goes back to Allah Subhanah hawat Ala, never to
[31:57] return, and his body decomposes into the earth. Unless a las Subhannah howat
[32:02] Alah wills such as the bodies of the prophets or las is in Nalaha Haram
[32:07] al al or the aula ajasad al Ambia that alas Subhnah howat Alah has prohibited
[32:12] the earth from eating the bodies of the messengers of a lass of Hannah howat
[32:15] Alah. So with those exceptions the rest of us, the body actually will
[32:21] decompose back into the earth. And what happens to the devil, what happens
[32:24] to the angel. It gets given a different task by a las Subhanah,
[32:28] howat Ala, and it's gone, and that devil what happens to it?
[32:30] It roams around way. A lot of them roam in the graveyard. A
[32:35] lot of them come back, pretending to us that the souls have come back.
[32:37] So some people believe they the soul came back. And you know on
[32:40] this day the soul's come back. No soul comes back. The soul goes
[32:44] to Barzak, The soul goes to a different place. Altogether. It is
[32:46] this spirit, or should I say this, Karen, that comes back.
[32:51] It tackles, it plays games, It does this. It knows history.
[32:54] It knows you better than yourself, because it was with you since the time
[32:58] you were born, so it knows it exactly what happened. Now what does
[33:00] he do? It starts playing a game. People start beckoning the spirits.
[33:05] In order to beckon the spirits, you need to do something silly, very
[33:08] silly. You need to cut eighty lemons, or you need to do something.
[33:12] Sometimes people instruct you to murder. Sometimes they ask you to bring a
[33:15] tongue of a human being. Sometimes they ask you to cut a dove.
[33:19] Sometimes they ask you to do any form of silly items which do not make
[33:22] sense at all. Then you get the strength and you start. You can
[33:25] talk to your great grandfather and he'll talk to you in the voice you remember
[33:30] la hu Akaba. But that is all a joke and it is all unacceptable.
[33:35] It is possible, it can be done in the same way a robbery
[33:37] can happen. It is possible to engage in robbery, but the sin of
[33:42] it, it is sinful and it is not permissible. The same applies.
[33:45] This type of behavior is possible, but it is disallowed. And this is
[33:50] what we learn from Ibliss It blase. From the beginning, he promised,
[33:53] I'm going to come to them how remote control. I'm going to come to
[33:57] them in a way that i will disguise myself. Even the good from amongst
[34:00] them will not know the difference. So Alas is in Himbadi Lai Sai lah
[34:07] ka Laimim sul my worshippers who are going to worship me alasses over them,
[34:15] you will have no power, no authority. Allah makers from the true worshippers
[34:19] of Alas of Hannah huata Adam. Then Alasu Hannah huwata Ala speaks about the
[34:25] issue of Adam Alehisala to Salam's sin Alas's fantasia while I'm najdila who asma Adam
[34:35] are Islam forgot? We found that he had no firm intention of sinning.
[34:40] He did not have a firm intention of sinning. He was not resolute in
[34:45] sinning, as we mentioned yesterday. So people begin to ask. Remember we're
[34:49] drawing lessons. People ask sh tell us why did Adam alai is Salam commit
[34:54] the sin? Why? What is it? Why did he commit the sin?
[34:58] Come on, do you know what's the answer to that? Well,
[35:01] look, he was not resolute in committing that. He made a mistake.
[35:06] What about you? Why are you committing sin? Laho akabara? That's a
[35:12] better question. So look at how Chaipan comes to us and makes us engrossed
[35:16] in why someone else's sin, and in the process we're sinning he was not
[35:20] resolute in his sin. We plan the sin, we calculate the sin,
[35:23] we are intentionally committing the sin, We engage in the sin, and we
[35:28] happy about it after that, and we plan it again, and we want
[35:30] to commit it again, and then we're saying, but why did Adam sin?
[35:34] Look again, how Chipan's plot comes back to us. So it's important
[35:38] look at yourself, Tuba l man chela hu abu huana u bi nas that's
[35:43] a hadida of the prophets or allaho ade. He was seldom give good news
[35:46] of paradise to the one whose own weaknesses keeps him or her occupied from looking
[35:52] at the weaknesses of others. We want to look at that man, this
[35:54] one, that one. You know. One day there was a question that
[35:58] someone asked me and says, what is the ruling of an imam? Who
[36:04] is the imam of the muschid who enters the muschid with the left foot?
[36:07] So I asked one of the mashayev that look, what is it? He
[36:09] says right back to them, to say, keep that imam. He's a
[36:13] very good imam, and he must be given an increase in his salary and
[36:16] so on. And I looked and I said, but why he says,
[36:19] you know what, you don't have much experience. I will tell you.
[36:22] These people must have been looking for something wrong with that imam to kick him
[36:27] out. They found absolutely nothing. The only thing was he entered the muschief
[36:30] with the left foot. So they said, what's the ruling of animam or
[36:34] the left foot? And they wanted you to say, kick him out,
[36:37] but instead give them the opposite lahu akaba. If that was the only thing
[36:39] they could find, he must be a top imam la hu akaba alasu hanahuat
[36:45] Alah. Grant has recognition and understanding, and may he give us the ability
[36:49] to look into what people are saying. Sometimes we are interested in the sense
[36:52] of others, not realizing they are heavenly people and we are people who are
[36:57] far back and we are sinful. So alas u hannah huata Alah speaks of
[37:01] something also very important that occurred, and we did not make mention of this
[37:06] yet. There was a time when Adam alai Salam was created a las subhana
[37:10] hawat Alah from his back removed all his progeny up to the day of Kiyama,
[37:15] including every single one of us, and showed it to Adam. He
[37:17] says, yeah, Adam, this is going to be your progeny. You
[37:22] will be succeeding one after the other. He was shocked. So alas up
[37:28] Hannah huata Alah asked everybody this question. There was a question. This question
[37:34] is made mention of in the Quran. Listen to the verse what is ahadarra
[37:38] Mookambani Adam Amomum well a Shaada Humada see him lest bikum Carubala Shahidna takuya mati
[37:57] in kun and a feeling auta Kuno in Ashaka Abaunam cob Waknatheri and badi him
[38:14] effect to Nikunamima phil mobile Alasses. And remember when Allah took from the children
[38:23] of Adam from the back. Allah took out all the children of Adam and
[38:28] brought them forth and asked them a question, Am I not the one who
[38:31] created you? And they all answered, yes, indeed it is you Alas
[38:37] to be arabicome am I not your ab And they said, Bella, yes,
[38:40] indeed you are. So Alases, do not come on the day of
[38:45] Piana and say we have forgotten about our covenant that we took with you.
[38:50] And this question, tell me how many of us remember this? Not one,
[38:55] not one, So Alas has no problem. We will keep on sending
[38:59] you reminders of this. So that is why we have the Puran, and
[39:00] that is why in the Koran we have this verse, and that is why
[39:04] we believe that that happened. And the very next verse, Alas says,
[39:07] and I don't want any one of you to come and say, our forefathers
[39:10] were associating partners with you, o Allah, and we had no son.
[39:15] We only followed them. Alasays there is no excuse. Each one of you
[39:20] is responsible for your own deeds, and you have all taken this covenant with
[39:23] me. You need to question what your four fathers have done. If they
[39:27] have done what was right alhamdulillah. If they have done what was wrong,
[39:30] you need to delete it. You need to stop it, you need to
[39:32] change it, you need to do something about it, because remember, when
[39:36] you go to Allah, you will be asked a question individually. Mahamin kumin
[39:42] ahad in illa sayu Karalimuhurabulisa bainhu batur Juman. None of you are such except
[39:51] that Allah will speak to every single one of you directly without a translator between
[39:54] the two of you nothing, and he will ask you what you did,
[39:59] and he will want answer so that hisab is not going to be taken by
[40:01] angels. It will be taken by Allah. Subhanahuwat Alah. Prepare a response
[40:06] for him, and that response always be on the safe side. Alas sub
[40:09] Hannah, howat Alah granted to us, so when that happened, Adam Malahi
[40:14] is Salah to us Salam. He looked at these faces and they were lit,
[40:17] and he's seen one shiny face, and he says, who is this?
[40:24] So Alas Subhannah, howat Alas is that is a man from one of
[40:29] the later nations. Towards the end of time, he will come up.
[40:32] His name is da Wood David. May peace be upon him. So Adam
[40:38] Alai is Salam out of curiosities, asking Alas sub Hannah houwat ala? Yeah,
[40:42] Allah, what life did you give him for me? You told me
[40:45] you're going to give me a thousand years. He was told already, So
[40:49] what life did you give him? So Alas Subhanah, howatalysis we gave him
[40:52] sixty years? He says, what sixty years? That's very little. Now,
[40:59] look at the love between the two. One is the first human being
[41:02] and this is part of his progeny. And this is why parents can sometimes
[41:07] sacrifice their lives in order to make the lives of their children. And this
[41:12] is why whenever you ask a man, why are you ending so much?
[41:14] He says, no, I'm just preparing everything for my children. All the
[41:17] tu I'm doing is for my children. Lahu akabar that's a common answer.
[41:22] So Adam Alai is saladu was Salam asks. He says, can you not
[41:24] increase him forty years? So Allah says, we can take it from your
[41:29] life and give him. So from a thousand, we can cut down forty
[41:32] and give him so he'll become one hundred. So Allas Subhanahuatlah got confirmation from
[41:37] Adam. He says, okay, you give him forty years from mine.
[41:40] Amazing. Daoud Alai is Salam lived for one hundred years, subhan Allah,
[41:47] and Adam Alai is Salam. I'm just fast forwarding the day that he nine
[41:52] hundred and sixty years were finishing in the angels of death came. We'll get
[41:55] to that story in Shahlah. He says, hang on, there's still another
[42:00] forty years. There's still another forty years. And he they said, no,
[42:05] don't you remember that you gave this forty years to Daoud. He says,
[42:09] no, I don't remember, Lahu akabar. He forgot so man forgets.
[42:14] That's a hadith. The prophet sonal ad a Salam says this in an
[42:16] authentic hadid, that he forgot, so man forgets, and according to some
[42:22] versions of the meaning, of the term in san. Some versions of the
[42:25] Arabic language say that in San Summa insan and lean na huyansa that man was
[42:32] called insan because it is from Nisian, which means to forget. Man is
[42:37] forgetful. Adam adai Islam forgot. He forgot two things. What else did
[42:42] he forget? He forgot right at the beginning when Allah told him, don't
[42:45] eat from this tree. Remember yesterday we said he forgot. Today we repeated
[42:49] the same verse for Nasia Walam nagit la hu asman. He forgot, and
[42:52] we didn't find him resolute in committing sin, but rather it was out of
[42:55] forgetfulness. So he forgot. Why because eblis the way he says things,
[43:00] sometimes you forget. He comes to you first time directly to say, look,
[43:05] Allah prohibited this, but this is why he prohibited it. You say,
[43:08] no, that doesn't work with me. So he comes again in another
[43:10] way, and he comes in a third way until he succeeds, and whoever
[43:15] wins over him gets paradise. This is why in one narration, when Adam
[43:20] alai Salam was sent to the earth, he makes it do ur to Allah.
[43:22] He talks to Allah Subhanah Ala says yea Allah, didn't you create me
[43:25] with your own hands? He says yes, ya Allah. Didn't you honor
[43:30] me as the first He says, yes, Yallah. Didn't you instruct the
[43:32] angels to prostrate to me? He says, yes, Yallah. Didn't this
[43:36] he blis not prostrate to me? He says, yes, Yallah. Didn't
[43:38] you degree that I was going to do this? He says yes. So
[43:40] yeah, Allah, if I pray to you and I obey your commands,
[43:45] will you grant me Jannah? Allah says yes, I will subhanah lah.
[43:49] So this is for us. If we pray to Allah and we seek forgiveness,
[43:52] where are we going back to Jannah? Allahu akbara. This is the
[43:55] message. This is why we are here. Alasuhnah Alah grant us goodness.
[44:00] These are some powerful, powerful lessons that we learn from this story of Adam
[44:05] Adaehsala to a Salam. Then we have a very interesting point again. Alass
[44:09] of hannahwat Alah says in many places in the Quran that we instructed Adam and
[44:16] Eve, meaning how may peace be upon them? We told them go to
[44:22] the earth. In fact, we addressed Adam and Iblis as well. We
[44:24] said, now go go to the earth. So Iblis was allowed empty onto
[44:28] the earth. At one stage he was prohibited from heaven, and thereafter he
[44:31] was allowed empty onto the earth, and he was told go there, go
[44:35] and dwell there. So he came down. Adam alai Islam came down,
[44:38] and Alas of hannahuwat Alah told Adam Alai Islam, I will continue sending you
[44:44] guidance and your progenian offspring guidance. Whoever follows the guidance, they won't go
[44:50] astray and they won't be unfortunate. So bhanah lah. So up to today,
[44:54] Famani taba'ahudaia phala aldillula yashka, whoever's going to follow my guidance, I'm
[45:02] not going to leave you alone. I'm going to send you guidance. Whoever
[45:06] follows the guidance, they will not be led astray, nor will they be
[45:09] unfortunate. So now what happens with us, We need to know. Allah
[45:15] sends guidance. Allah sends the Koran. This is why the Quran is there.
[45:17] The Quran is powerful. It is the guidance for us. As Allah
[45:21] promised, and he sent this book, and he sent so many books before
[45:24] the Kuran. If we are to follow the Quran, we will never ever
[45:29] be misguided, nor will we be unfortunate. And this is why those who
[45:34] lack contentment, it's because they have drifted far away from alass of hannahuata Alah.
[45:37] This is the time to come back to Allah. It is the time
[45:40] to come back. Everyone is searching and hunting for contentment. You have people
[45:45] who are atheistic, people who are agnostic, people who have different beliefs,
[45:51] people who think that this is the life and that's it. We got to
[45:52] make the most of it. But they're not happy. There is something missing
[45:57] because they don't have belief. They think we are just to die and we're
[46:00] going to rot and that's it. Alas is no, there is a beginning.
[46:05] You need belief and that is what will make you a person who's enjoying
[46:08] contentment. Man has created such that without spirituality, he cannot enjoy this life
[46:15] of his. So we need the spirituality and we need this belief. It's
[46:17] important for us to know this. So alasuhnahuatala has warned us. And this
[46:22] is why Adam adah sala to a Salam was sent to the earth and he
[46:25] was given this as a message. And on top of that, he was
[46:29] told woman arab in Alahuma chateau Baana shoo muki ama Carla Arma to Balsira Karla
[46:47] Tuna fantasy italy Kalia woman toah alas is. Whoever turns away from my reminders
[46:59] that I keep sending them, they will be having a life which is very
[47:04] narrow, very full of difficulty, lack of contentment. One can that which
[47:08] is it does not have any form of joy in it. It is completely
[47:14] shallow and narrow, full of difficulty and problem, lack of contentment and so
[47:17] on. And when we resurrect him on the day of Pima, he will
[47:21] be blind. So he will say, oh Allah, how did you resurrect
[47:25] me blind? When I could see whilst I was alive on the earth.
[47:29] And Allah, so Hannah at Allah will say, we will tell him,
[47:31] didn't we send you reminders and you turned a blind eye against those reminders.
[47:36] So today we've resurrected you blind. You turned away from us, So today
[47:42] you will be forgotten as well. Allah, not make us from amongst those.
[47:45] Now. If we look at Ada Malai Salam, he came down onto
[47:47] the earth. He was sent to the earth there's a question where did he
[47:52] land he was He wasn't just thrown so that suddenly he landed, meaning he
[47:58] dropped, but Allah placed him on the This we find in the narration of
[48:04] Rasulu las all lad A seldom way. He says that Adam Ali Salam Nasala
[48:07] fil Hind he came down in what is known as the Indoor Pack subcontinent,
[48:15] precisely Sri Lanka. There is a mount there known as Adam's Peak. If
[48:23] you go there, you will find it green and beautiful, as though it
[48:30] is not from this earth, but it is. I'm not trying to imply
[48:32] anything, but I'm just saying it is so beautiful, maybe because the Sri
[48:37] Lankans have kept it that way, but it's a beautiful place. It is.
[48:40] It is said that there is a possibility that that is the place.
[48:44] We don't know for certain that that spot is the place. But roughly then,
[48:47] what about Hawa? Where did she come down? In Jiddah? Where
[48:53] is Jidda? Jida is in the Arabian peninsula in what we know today Saudi
[48:58] Arabia. And what is the meaning of Jda or Jedda or Juda. It
[49:01] means the grandmother. It is named after her, Subhanama. Now what happened?
[49:07] They started looking for each other. I remember meaning I can imagine.
[49:09] I'm just saying for myself. I can imagine them thinking, I remember there
[49:13] was someone, you know, we had Hawaii here where is she? The
[49:15] start looking and he started looking Subanama. If you picture it, you can
[49:21] imagine. And Adam Alaislam began to walk, and he started walking towards where
[49:24] the sun was setting. He started walking towards the west. And eve Hawa
[49:29] ale Hasalat was Salam. As a female, she didn't walk too much,
[49:31] but she also tried to look for Adam Alai Salam. No, that does
[49:36] not mean that women are not interested. No, not at all, not
[49:38] at all. And according to what some of the historians have to say,
[49:46] they met in Arafa. And this is why where the white pillar is the
[49:52] historians have made mention of I haven't found it in a correct narration, authentic
[49:55] narration, but they say that that where Arafa is where we a gather,
[50:00] that is where the two met. Well, Laho alam Allaho's best and this
[50:05] shows us subhannahlah that man. You know, when we are separated from our
[50:09] spouses, it should hurt us. It should make us want to get back.
[50:15] We should do anything to solve the matter. This is what it is.
[50:19] I think there is a lesson that is drawn here if we want to
[50:22] learn something from Adam alais salam. He didn't just wait for another woman to
[50:25] come along. No, he didn't. He knew that I have a wife.
[50:30] Let me make an effort. And do you know he walked half the
[50:34] globe, imagined, and he got to her. Laho akabar loaho akaba.
[50:38] Imagine what must have been I don't know. It's not made mention of in
[50:43] narrations, but it there's no harm in thinking what must have been the emotions
[50:47] when the two saw each other. They must have thought. I don't know,
[50:51] but I'm just imagining, subhan allah. Imagine after what effort. How
[50:55] many of us are prepared to solve our marital problems by making even one million
[51:02] of that effort. It's a lesson today. A small thing we flick the
[51:07] marriage off. Small thing flicked off, Go for someone else, small thing,
[51:12] It didn't work. Why for what? Mala subanaha open our doors.
[51:16] May he grant us jenda. We have a lot more to say in chadlah.
[51:20] We leave it for tomorrow until we meet again. Asa La who was
[51:22] seldom Abarak and a Mohammad Suhanna lahamdi Subana alaham hamdi h
