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

00:00:13--> 00:00:32

Allah Allah will Hakeem love Medina and found out when I lived Tana, was it an element watermelon? Yeah, Kareem. All praises belong to Allah subhanho wa Taala and peace and salutations be upon the final messenger Muhammad Ali Abdullah Saleh while he was Allah. My dear brothers salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.

00:00:34--> 00:01:02

Barcalounger for your patience and your attendance. I just lectured for almost eight hours, I think this morning, from this morning till around 430 or five o'clock at elementaita. We had a program there related to the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And for some reasons beyond our control, there was a delay getting every inshallah we'll try and release the subject matter before so that's not gonna be the length and

00:01:03--> 00:01:07

the topic that has been passed on to me is the topic of karma.

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

And it's the karma.

00:01:13--> 00:01:32

In the Arabic language comes from the term is the farmer. Yes, the PMO is the government and it's derived from the verb is the farmer, yes, the PMO and is the karma 10 is the root. Now, the root form, or the root now,

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

the muster

00:01:37--> 00:01:48

and in the English language, we will translate this term as being steadfast. Now it's the karma plays an integral part in our lives and

00:01:50--> 00:01:52

has an integral placement in terms of the area

00:01:55--> 00:02:00

and from that, which makes us realize how important it is

00:02:02--> 00:02:20

are the many is in the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And many statements found in the sooner related to come from these is the fact that Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah, or that Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah said in his book, in the greatest surah in the Quran,

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

in Surah Allah study

00:02:25--> 00:03:17

and this has been placed upon us as something that we recite every day in our solo ads. And this means, Guide us to the straight path, because this is the karma is the karma, or steadfastness refers to treading the established way. And this established way in the shediac is the middle way away that exists between two extremes. Between two extremes. We have Sarah and we study the middle way and Allah subhanho wa Taala has this ayah in Surah, Al Fatiha the greatest surah in the Quran, something that we recite every day. This is a DA where we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant us steadfastness. So this fact alone should be enough in us understanding what an important concept is,

00:03:17--> 00:04:01

the karma is and what an integral part it has in the Sherry app, and how important it is to us as Muslims and those who have declared the oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala and accepted the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, from the points that make us understand how important is the government is all servants of Allah and children of Adam, is that Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah commanded Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to this concept, as well as those that follow Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that Allah subhanho wa Taala said, For stuck in karma Amil woman Tabak, Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah commanded him to

00:04:02--> 00:04:15

remain steadfast as he has been commanded to remain steadfast. So, being steadfast is from the commands that Allah subhanho wa Taala gave to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:04:17--> 00:04:44

and from that, which makes us understand how important is the karma is, is the fact that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam commanded us as well to what is the karma? For he said some Allahu alayhi wa sallam said they do work. arriba said they do work and said they do refers to this concept of being steadfast refers to always being upon the instruction of Allah subhanho wa Taala.

00:04:45--> 00:04:59

But if we are unable then at least we should be close to it. Thus he said, work hard. And this is from that which also makes us realize how important his department is for the shediac has set

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

A way

00:05:03--> 00:05:22

next to is the karma for those who try their best, but have not managed yet to achieve this the karma. So he said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said they do wakatipu that remains steadfast and if you can't, then the next level is to try your best to be the closest to

00:05:23--> 00:05:52

being steadfast. From that also, which Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, which makes us appreciate, how important is the karma is, is in the hadith of Sophia and even Abdullah, a third party, when he said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say to me something specific to me, that I will not ask anyone besides your prophet of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him,

00:05:54--> 00:06:31

meant to be last semester, that say I have believed in Allah subhanho wa Taala and then become steadfast and then become steadfast. And Allah subhanho wa Taala. And this also is from that which makes us understand how important is the karma is has set a way for us to turn back to him. And a way for us to get back to is the karma should we make a mistake and tread the path of retrogression. Thus, Allah subhanho wa Taala said, For stuffy Moo la

00:06:33--> 00:07:19

was stuck Pharaoh, Allah subhanho wa Jalla said, That remains steadfast and be upon the command of Allah subhanho wa Taala and seek forgiveness forgiveness when in case you make a mistake, for we are human beings, as Allah subhanho wa Taala said, well, Holy insano very fact that we are weak, we make mistakes, we are prone to error. But the path to is the karma is always open when we fall off it. And that is through the process of his default, and seeking forgiveness in Allah subhanho wa Taala, from the greatest ways of servants of Allah, and oh Children of Adam, that allows us to appreciate and understand how important is the karma is, is by looking at the reward that Allah Subhana Allah

00:07:19--> 00:07:52

has set for the people who are steadfast, we look at the reward, and the reward teaches us as well, the amount of effort that's required of us to achieve the outcome because as Jessica mentioned, cinammon the reward is based upon the effort that has been rendered. And in management we always say that reward is proportional to effort, reward is proportional to effort. So what is the reward for those of is the karma?

00:07:53--> 00:07:56

Allah Subhana Allah tells us in the Quran that

00:07:58--> 00:08:20

a beloved to us will have to read it. And we love to hear the Imam recited Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says in the levena follower of Buddha law, that indeed for those who say, are a Buddha Allah, Allah is our up soon Mr. powervault and then they became steadfast that there is no Allah He will Malaika and let her have

their actions followed.

00:09:10--> 00:09:18

They substantiated what they said, with the actions they actions proved.

00:09:19--> 00:09:51

What they said when they said, Indeed, our job is Allah. So they showed their belief through the actions through Mr. Karma, this is how they were steadfast, they remained upon the dues of Allah subhanho wa Taala and stayed away from that which Allah subhanho wa Taala warned against. This is how we become people of steadfastness, and they persevered, despite the obstacles despite their whispers of shavon. Despite their cultures, despite their environment,

00:09:52--> 00:09:59

they persevered remaining upon the path of Allah subhanho wa Taala in a way, beloved to Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:12:11--> 00:12:36

In this world when we live, we might do a good deed. But we don't know if Allah subhanho wa Taala has accepted that good deed from us, or is pleased with us. And we might be people that do good. But we don't know what our situation will be tomorrow May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us. But this is the end. When you pass away that is it. If you've passed, you've passed, and if you failed, well you have

It's just the Stata it's not the main meal. La Ilaha Illa loser in the Arabic language refers to that which you feed your guests when they come from a long journey and enter for you. When they come to your house. You don't shove them straight on the dining table and give them the feast. We don't do that. We let them sit, catch their breath, offer them some water. But so all of us which Allah subhanho wa Taala has just said for the people of st karma. This is equivalent to the start of the water you give your guests when they come from a long journey when you are allowing them to rest so they are ready for the main meal Illa Illa imagine what the main meal is. Imagine what other gifts
