00:00:00--> 00:00:05

Today in your beautiful machine about programs

00:00:06--> 00:00:08

at home there is a lot of shopping

00:00:10--> 00:00:15

wherever you go people are talking about getting ready for Ramadan

00:00:17--> 00:00:22

and so how am I well there is a limb

00:00:24--> 00:00:27

in your body that you have to prepare for Ramadan

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

and if that limb is not ready

00:00:33--> 00:00:38

it will become extremely difficult to enjoy Ramadan

00:00:39--> 00:00:42

I'm talking about our hearts

00:00:46--> 00:00:51

you know I remember these days back where I come from Egypt

00:00:52--> 00:00:56

they used to actually wash all the house for Ramadan

00:00:57--> 00:01:01

with water and clean Ramadan is coming

00:01:02--> 00:01:09

so parent Allah we have to do the same thing. With that live we have to wash the halls

00:01:12--> 00:01:20

I'm using the verb wash intentionally even though I'm certain we all agree that water can get to the hearts

00:01:22--> 00:01:25

but really what can go to the hearts

00:01:27--> 00:01:32

is Vic and Quran be nossal ferrania

00:01:34--> 00:01:38

alladhina either to Leah Tara him to Jose imana

00:01:39--> 00:01:46

alladhina either do Kira la who YG la kulu Merida Talia tala him to Jose de imana.

00:01:48--> 00:01:54

So the only two things that can get to the heart is a VIX

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

and the recitation of the Quran.

00:02:00--> 00:02:05

Before I go there and talk a little bit how we can wash

00:02:07--> 00:02:10

our hearts in preparation for Ramadan.

00:02:11--> 00:02:19

Let me just emphasize something that you know the importance of this limb

00:02:21--> 00:02:26

the Hadith in normanni have never shaved or the Allahumma will hadith of Raja Halima Buhari.

00:02:27--> 00:02:44

Kala sallallahu alayhi wa sallam allhallows Albanian well haram and then the last piece of this hadith Allah in Phil just said the Moldova indeed in the body there is a limb

00:02:45--> 00:02:57

either or swallow. Swallow has your will just said when that limb is sound, or bright, the rest of the body will be a bright

00:02:59--> 00:03:02

one either faster, the faster the second says it will just said

00:03:04--> 00:03:09

when the claim is corrupts, the rest of the body will do corrupt Allah will heal.

00:03:11--> 00:03:13

Indeed, this is the heart

00:03:15--> 00:03:22

for imaginarily veliky and Kullu medical bedden Hakka Kala Abu hurayrah

00:03:23--> 00:03:34

The heart is the king of the body, while julu jaw area while you're while jawara Whoo hoo. And the rest of the limbs are soldiers of this king.

00:03:36--> 00:03:47

The question that I asked myself before asking you do we treat our hearts like you treating kings

00:03:49--> 00:03:52

when a fingernail is injured,

00:03:54--> 00:03:57

and there is a potential for some infection here and there we are rushed

00:03:59--> 00:04:01

to the emergency room.

00:04:02--> 00:04:07

Meanwhile, this heart could be sick and ailing

00:04:08--> 00:04:09

for years

00:04:11--> 00:04:12

and no one pays attention to it.

00:04:15--> 00:04:15

No one

00:04:18--> 00:04:21

will lay man will crochet who

00:04:22--> 00:04:24

has a book called Teddy for walk off.

00:04:26--> 00:04:28

He mentioned a story about

00:04:30--> 00:04:37

one of the scribes of Omar Abdullah Aziz Rahim Allah the grandson of Omar.

00:04:39--> 00:04:42

His name is mamoon IGNOU Moran.

00:04:45--> 00:04:48

We know that Omar was of a status young

00:04:50--> 00:04:54

Omar Abdullah zz and he was no one of his righteousness and piety.

00:04:55--> 00:04:59

So for sure, he will use scribes who are on the same

00:05:00--> 00:05:00

level

00:05:01--> 00:05:15

for one day my wounded neuron and towards the end of his life he lost his sight called upon his son Amber. Amber Blue Moon. For Paula buena he said Yamuna

00:05:36--> 00:05:45

00:05:47--> 00:05:49

For imagine this man feels his heart is hardened

share them giving you an example, that this is how much they used to care about their hearts in the past. Because, yeah,

00:07:02--> 00:07:06

alcohol is the container of taqwa.

00:07:07--> 00:07:18

Did in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam point that his chest and he said at the Aqua hoonah A taqwa which was supposed to develop in Ramadan.

00:07:19--> 00:07:29

Our mission is to have Taqwa throughout the month of Ramadan. Where are you going to develop this taqwa but in the hearts the container of email

00:07:32--> 00:07:35

00:07:37--> 00:07:40

fi Muslim dilemma a famous Hadith

00:07:42--> 00:07:45

regarding Abdullah who have never sold a lot of the a lot one

00:07:46--> 00:07:52

of Loomis road one day he wanted to bring a snack so he climbed

00:07:53--> 00:07:55

up the tree of it.

00:07:57--> 00:08:10

For if you read the biography of Abdullah have never sold without whether VCR is alive in obala will have their heavy oral Saba fita Misa Sahaba, who

00:08:12--> 00:08:17

have the live nervous road was very notion of having a very small body very small.

00:08:20--> 00:08:30

To the extent that there has to be mentioned that when there is a strong wind like the one that you had yesterday in Texas, he would not hold himself on the road

00:08:31--> 00:08:33

because of his little buddy

00:08:35--> 00:08:44

for when he went up the tree, the companions looked and notice how thin his shin is.

00:08:46--> 00:08:50

They saw his leg and they looked at his SAP the shin

00:08:51--> 00:08:52

very tiny

00:08:54--> 00:08:57

the nature of the human you know the smile.

00:08:59--> 00:09:06

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam looked at them and he said at the moon I mean this karate Academy no more Aren't

00:09:07--> 00:09:10

you amazed how thin the shin?

00:09:11--> 00:09:16

of if no update is that his kunia

00:09:17--> 00:09:25

will let the enough cvad buy the one whose hand my soul is lahoma f calu filmyzila and even jeberti offered

00:09:27--> 00:09:51

they will be heavier in the scale than the mountain of fasade alajuela coluna the scholars they say lei en la mina, us and we'll be will be here multi Anna because his heart is what will tip his scale for Colombia. It is an important limb that we have to pay attention to Omar al Fela, Phil Abdullah

00:09:53--> 00:10:00

Abdullah Al amin, Allah subhana wa Taala summed up the password for success.

00:10:00--> 00:10:08

in the hereafter in this verse in Surah, sha Allah, Allah Allah, yo mala young man well known.

00:10:09--> 00:10:12

l men atta la Have you been selling

00:10:14--> 00:10:33

your wealth, your children, your money, I'm not going to avail you avert you from any punishment, the only thing which will bring you salvation in the day of judgment that you bring with you called Saleem, a sound heart.

00:10:34--> 00:10:35

For you,

00:10:36--> 00:10:37

we go back to him. So

00:10:40--> 00:10:44

he said, to call Becca in the flf.

00:10:46--> 00:10:50

Seek out your hearts in three occasions.

00:10:52--> 00:10:54

If your heart doesn't respond to you,

00:10:56--> 00:11:02

then whether your heart is sick, or it is dead,

00:11:03--> 00:11:09

and you are to ask Allah subhana wa Taala for another heart And again, I'm talking about the spiritual heart.

00:11:11--> 00:11:15

So there are three occasions where the heart is really tested,

00:11:16--> 00:11:34

whether this heart is sick, or whether it is sound, or whether it is completely dead, because these are the three hearts they tell you that there are three types of the three types of hearts whether it is a living heart, at the heart, a sick heart.

00:11:35--> 00:11:37

At the heart the local bull calf is

00:11:40--> 00:11:42

completely sealed.

00:11:43--> 00:11:48

But is there a crocodile is the sorrowful Baccarat in alladhina Kapha musawah.

00:11:49--> 00:11:55

Him and Tom Lambton. Do you know why? Why?

00:11:56--> 00:11:57

hakimullah?

00:11:59--> 00:12:12

Indeed those who chose pay attention to this because a lot of the brothers they use color here they tell you they've shifted from la salle de la hearts how they are so what is the justice of Atlanta? They chose to this belief.

00:12:14--> 00:12:16

So the Ayat of Allah were presented to them

00:12:18--> 00:12:37

and willingly with their own free choice. They said we're not going to believe in it. And as a result of this, Allah sealed their hearts so had a pile of money. And this is what the minister said. We'll call Oh coluna they said Our hearts are what wolf wrapped up.

00:12:39--> 00:12:40

For now do lemonhead

00:12:41--> 00:12:41

Shakira

00:12:43--> 00:12:45

burger is dead.

00:12:46--> 00:12:50

The only one who can resurrect It is Allah subhana wa Ireland.

00:12:51--> 00:13:05

The second type of heart is the living heart the heart that is alive that gets affected but there is the third type which is the majority of us possess a lower

00:13:09--> 00:13:16

fee offer for a family a man above the law one he said about this heart. What can you

00:13:17--> 00:13:18

do whom?

00:13:19--> 00:13:34

data 10 meg dare to imagine? We're mad that Tony Felton for who was Lima Hall Adam in Houma. Imagine your heart to be a container of food.

00:13:35--> 00:13:43

And now you have two running streams one of them brings the man and the other one brings this obedience hypocrisy.

00:13:45--> 00:14:03

So he receives both you're sitting right like this in the machine. You're nourishing your heart what he man you get out of the machine after a shot you go to the wrong place, you'll notice your hard work. And that hard that goes work up and down, up and down.

00:14:04--> 00:14:10

Up and down. And this is the heart that has to be treated we go back to author of numerous wrote

00:14:12--> 00:14:30

said open loop callback in this lf there are three occasions that help you diagnose your heart, whether it is dead, whether it is sick, or whether it is a living heart alive, number one and SMS Al Quran.

00:14:33--> 00:14:34

When you hear the Quran

00:14:35--> 00:14:36

what happens?

00:14:38--> 00:14:47

Are you at least reflecting upon some of what is being recited? Are you interested or the Quran just noise out there like any other noise.

00:14:52--> 00:14:59

Matter of no affair above the law one has that famous statement he said will lie

00:15:00--> 00:15:06

By Allah lol la hora kulu buena, Masha de acmin Kalani Robin,

00:15:08--> 00:15:21

if the heart is clean, it will have enough it will not have enough from the book of Allah. You always want to hear the Quran read the Quran. So, the first test here is the Quran

00:15:22--> 00:15:35

Sunnah Al Quran does it get, you know, in the feed ellika indeed in the Quran in the feed Eric Allah dechra a reminder leemon Karan Allah who called

00:15:36--> 00:15:38

for the one who has a loving heart

00:15:40--> 00:15:43

for you the second occasion, we're in the thick

00:15:44--> 00:15:46

and when you make this

00:15:48--> 00:16:03

so hard for you to realize what does it mean to seek heart? You know, sometimes when you make Vic, let's say Subhan Allah 100 times 100 100 times and you keep doing it. You could stop with your tongue and your heart would be what?

00:16:06--> 00:16:11

That's where is that connection with the heart so you could stop actually not saying what your heart is saying it?

00:16:12--> 00:17:02

is a living halls and the Vic Subhana Allah is it just lip service? Or what Alhamdulillah is it lip service, or you reflect upon the meanings of these? And number three, we're in del halwa and went by yourself when you are by yourself. We were told of this man who will be shaded under the throne and the Day of Judgment. That was one of the seven people were Roger Lune that Corolla hollien atharva Dinah? Someone Subhan Allah who remember Allah subhanho wa Taala when he was alone, and he started shedding tears for Heather are indications which any type of heart Do you have in closing before we take your questions?

00:17:03--> 00:17:05

If the aim says

00:17:07--> 00:17:09

for you to have a sound horse

00:17:11--> 00:17:16

you must have five in place of five

00:17:18--> 00:17:27

la Yes, la Mukul boo Illa either salema min shulkin unity Dotto here.

00:17:30--> 00:17:33

So your heart must be protected from shill.

00:17:35--> 00:17:40

associating someone in worship with Allah, whether it is major or minor,

00:17:41--> 00:17:44

and in place of Shem Tao Hayden's

00:17:45--> 00:17:46

monotheism

00:17:48--> 00:17:51

big data to Napoli The sooner

00:17:53--> 00:18:00

your heart must be protected from innovations which will certainly replace what

00:18:01--> 00:18:06

following the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam three

00:18:08--> 00:18:08

three

00:18:10--> 00:18:13

How are you now cable? Plus?

00:18:14--> 00:18:15

How are

00:18:17--> 00:18:21

longing for this world are showing off.

00:18:22--> 00:18:23

Let's say it's a one on

00:18:33--> 00:18:42

one that have good enough that you're trying to show off, for example, which will work negate your sincerity?

00:18:43--> 00:18:45

How are you an affable effortless.

00:18:47--> 00:19:45

Pa icon, our Shahada, Tanaka de la sia, a desire or a whim which will lead you to disobey Allah subhanho wa Taala and number five and the last is muffler you have to do dick or heedlessness which will take you away from the remembrance of Allah subhana wa Tada. So, you must protect yourself from should you must protect the thought from shell from beta from the How are how good knifes from the desire and the whims and from the heedlessness and replace this with the head was soon with Vic with obedience power and with sincerity, this way you keep your heart intact inshallah. Allah Subhana Allah anuga alumina. Now, how do you wash the thoughts?

00:19:47--> 00:19:52

A scholar was asked this question in that context.

00:19:55--> 00:19:55

He said

00:19:56--> 00:20:00

the questioner said to him which has been

00:20:03--> 00:20:05

pyrrha oturu poron

00:20:06--> 00:20:08

Emily still solve

00:20:10--> 00:20:13

that you recite the Quran or meek is the fall.

00:20:15--> 00:20:18

Remember the question in the context of washing the heart,

00:20:19--> 00:20:20

cleaning the hearts

00:20:22--> 00:20:50

because both of these are the best forms of God that you know color mala, the remembrance of Allah using the Quran or using a stepfather. Those are two forms one of the two of the highest ranking forms of victory that a Muslim can be engaged in. But the scholar was asked in reference to the washing of the heart. You know what he said? A fellow woman would testify.

00:20:52--> 00:20:53

A lie he

00:20:54--> 00:20:58

was a woman who Elan mean Elon Musk.

00:20:59--> 00:21:01

Elon may mean who Elon Musk.

00:21:02--> 00:21:08

A dirty garment needs water more than Musk,

00:21:09--> 00:21:11

younger self what he's trying to say.

00:21:12--> 00:21:14

You see the Quran is that clear?

00:21:15--> 00:21:17

The Quran is the mosque.

00:21:20--> 00:21:33

But for that Quran to beautify the heart, the heart must be well cleanse cleaned. And the only way to do this is through is the fall through tober.

00:21:35--> 00:21:37

So you're having a week right now.

00:21:38--> 00:21:41

To do is the fall to do tober

00:21:42--> 00:21:52

when NaVi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a promise that only if you live until the next Ramadan, Allah will forgive your sins.

00:21:53--> 00:22:11

But he mentioned a Kareena or a restriction. What restriction if you avoid major sins? Now we know that for you to come out of a major sin, you must make Toba.

00:22:14--> 00:22:18

Now, what is a major sin and a minor sin?

00:22:20--> 00:22:25

To say the least some of the scholars did not see any difference between the two.

00:22:26--> 00:22:34

But if you examine the Quran and Sunnah, we find the difference. Two major sins and minor sins

00:22:36--> 00:22:56

in Taiji tenable Kava, Iran Martin honan, who? Lucas Sarang coochie coo. If you avoid the major sins will expeed the minor for you. And Medina gitana una cabeza, Iran it's me once our Asia 11

00:22:57--> 00:23:03

there is a referencing to major sins 11 is the major the minor sins.

00:23:05--> 00:23:07

Now, what are these major sins?

00:23:09--> 00:23:15

And what should I do about cleaning the heart from them?

00:23:16--> 00:23:34

Because regarding the minor, if you live until Ramadan, Allah subhanaw taala will take care of that. So the major sins you have to do what you have to ask Allah for forgiveness, you have to make Toba you have to go through the process of Toba.

00:23:35--> 00:23:36

Now,

00:23:37--> 00:23:49

imagine to be able abdus Rahim Allah mentioned certain criterias that identify the major sins. He said for example, a sin that has a had in the dunya

00:23:50--> 00:24:00

The heart is a criminal punishment Like what? adultery stealing, drinking. Hmm, what else killing.

00:24:02--> 00:24:03

There is a heart for it.

00:24:05--> 00:24:12

That's a major sin or a sin that Rasul salovaara Sallam identified to be a major sin

00:24:14--> 00:24:21

is attainable savall will be hard for example, avoid the seven destructive sins Rasul Allah named them

00:24:24--> 00:24:28

or the punishment for that sin in the Hereafter is hellfire.

00:24:30--> 00:24:33

In alladhina, coluna unworldly aterna

00:24:34--> 00:24:37

in knanaya, coluna theorbo Cooney him,

00:24:39--> 00:24:47

was shy of slowness era devouring the wolf of the orphans. So the punishment for it is hellfire.

00:24:48--> 00:24:53

If a person commits it, he earns the wrath, the enduro of Allah

00:24:57--> 00:24:59

or the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:25:00--> 00:25:03

using the term les seminar, he is not one of us.

00:25:05--> 00:25:12

Les semonin that there are certain criterias but quite frankly, I love

00:25:13--> 00:25:17

what are the live bass mentioned regarding this subject.

00:25:18--> 00:25:23

You know what he said. And that's why I didn't really go over because

00:25:25--> 00:25:29

the criteria is in more details in order to live now best said

00:25:30--> 00:25:38

lacob era master fall. Well our sahira ma is wrong.

00:25:39--> 00:25:43

memorize this slide, lead kaviraj master.

00:25:44--> 00:25:54

There is no such a thing called the major sin when you commit it. When you commit that sin, you're either way too far you can say stop for a lie.

00:25:56--> 00:26:04

You done. Now here it is. What are sorry ra ma SRR. And there is nothing called minor when you insist on it.

00:26:06--> 00:26:12

So when you insist in something and you call it, man, this is nothing This is a minor. It becomes what

00:26:14--> 00:26:15

majors because of what

00:26:17--> 00:26:17

they

00:26:20--> 00:26:36

do in our silver in them be wacky number 11, even asides. Don't look at how little your sin is. But look at the greatness of the one that you're obeying Allah subhanaw taala only in a

00:26:37--> 00:26:42

Ruby Yakumo Maha karate boo, dare you belittle your sins don't do that.

00:26:44--> 00:26:48

Now, what should you do about these sins, you have to make the work.

00:26:51--> 00:26:57

There are certain conditions that must be in that act of Toba. Number one sincerity.

00:27:00--> 00:27:03

Number two regret fullness

00:27:05--> 00:27:07

that you regret doing it.

00:27:08--> 00:27:14

And by the way, this is the major, the major pillar of the rubber

00:27:16--> 00:27:17

toe battle album.

00:27:19--> 00:27:22

Because without it, you're not going to have the album

00:27:23--> 00:27:27

that you actually regret the fact that you've fallen into that sin.

00:27:29--> 00:27:33

you abandon committing that sin. That is number three.

00:27:34--> 00:27:38

For you vow not to come back to it.

00:27:40--> 00:27:42

Here is the key.

00:27:44--> 00:27:50

If that sin engages the right of another human being you have to settle that

00:27:53--> 00:27:54

layer mavala

00:27:56--> 00:27:57

if you wronged someone

00:27:58--> 00:28:01

you cheated someone out of the wolf.

00:28:02--> 00:28:04

You have to settle that with the person

00:28:06--> 00:28:31

didn't have a bad day it will lead to I don't know cuca illa Allah rights must be given back. You see, when you receive Allah subhana wa tada and it's between you and Alon, you turn back to Allah, Allah will forgive you, but I cannot cheat you out of your money and then go Oh ALLAH forgive me know the act of Toba must engage you getting back right back to that person.

00:28:33--> 00:28:33

Then hakab

00:28:35--> 00:28:55

and of course this act of Toba has to be performed on time before the soul departs from the body for years who are engaged next week or so inshallah, in cooling yourself to account he had a whole year from last Ramadan, see what went wrong. Listen, no one is perfect.

00:28:56--> 00:29:10

And I warn myself and you against finding excuses for yourselves, or justifying your sins. Because this was the attitude of Satan.

00:29:11--> 00:29:20

When we study the story of Adam, and Satan, as we find out that Adam and Satan, both of them disobeyed Allah Subhana Allah,

00:29:21--> 00:29:24

Adam, ate from the tree.

00:29:25--> 00:29:28

Satan refused to bow down.

00:29:29--> 00:29:31

But why Satan was cursed.

00:29:33--> 00:29:44

And his faith is identified eternal Hill. Meanwhile, Adam and his offspring me and you were given a second chance because of that.

00:29:45--> 00:29:57

When Satan was asked, Why didn't you bow down to Adam? What did he say? He found an excuse. He said, I'm better than him. I shouldn't be bound down

00:30:00--> 00:30:03

Many Muslims do this these days by the way, unknowingly.

00:30:05--> 00:30:06

Brother

00:30:07--> 00:30:09

Brother, it's America busy.

00:30:12--> 00:30:14

Why these sisters

00:30:15--> 00:30:20

so they find execuse. You see, if you have that attitude,

00:30:21--> 00:30:25

you will never be able to come out of that sin by

00:30:26--> 00:30:31

you know, Toba and remoting and so forth.

00:30:32--> 00:30:35

Stay away from finding excuses. In sha Allah. Allah
