DUA
We shall talk a little bit about the topic that was mentioned and then I would prefer just to open it up for some
discussion because I need yesterday and
there were a lot of some comments and
questions so the elements of a strong
aqeedah is the topic that I was given and first yesterday I think some people, like I recognize some faces from yesterday, we talked about the aqeedah and the
meaning of aqeedah, right. for the
Muslims and, as I mentioned yesterday is a word that was introduced later was not a word that's found in the
the first community but it was
introduced later as a way of describing
a formal structure which is the belief
system that was in a sense codified by
scholars and they codified it out of a
necessity to clarify certain thing and
that is because in many ways the initial
community that the purpose of life that
I'm taught there were they have many
advantages over the people that would
come later and one of the greatest
advantages was that they were although
many of them were illiterate in terms of
reading and writing
they were extremely sophisticated in
terms of thought and they were able
because of the nature of their language
and the sophistication of the language
they were able to understand the Quran
with extraordinary depth and the Quran
really is a book that details what we
believe I mean if you want to find what
we believe you will find it in the Quran
but more than that and something I think
that's often not ignored but a lot of
times people are unaware of the
underlying or the undercurrent in the
Quran these things that don't always
appear at the surface of the pond if we
give the point on a superficial reading
and this is why Allah subhana WA Ta'ala
says in the Quran today a soda bottle
Nana
I'm Anika Ruben oxido ha don't they
reflect to double don't they think
reflect deeply about the Quran or are
their hearts filled do they have lots
that they can't they're unable to
understand it and so opening up and
looking at these things you'll get into
some extremely the most sophisticated
thought you see and really it deals with
the way we look at the world and what
athletes does it enables us to perceive
the world as it is as opposed to
perceiving it in a state of delusion and
what delusion is right we have illusions
and delusions the illusions are things
that we see outside of ourselves and we
don't see them in their correct as they
are like the person in the desert sees a
mirage he is seeing an illusion the
illusion is something that we believed
right that is incorrect ISM it's a false
belief and this is what the vast
majority of humanity is in a state of
they're in a deluded state in the Arabic
language it's called my war that they
are Mahal and she upon one of the names
of chiffon is Al hawa the one that
deludes people you see he takes them
away from reality
and this is a chiffons nature and it's
his job the Muslim is the one that
perceives reality as it is he perceives
it with Mozilla and Becerra is a word
which comes from buffer which is sight
but the Arabs in their language they say
a buffer all the lines can be austerity
little pal that the site and buffer is
for the eye what the box IRA is for the
heart in other words the heart also has
a vehicle right of perception which it
sees the
the heart sees things and when the heart
sees things
it recognizes those things to be as they
are so this Basia
is the thing that is opened up in the
muslim and this is why in the quran at
the end of surah yusuf an age to them
the process of item is commanded to say
upon hadisha very thorough in aloni out
of bosnia Anna
one minute's Abani say that this is my
path I call Dawa this is what Islam
after one has accepted it himself of the
invitation the Dawa
I called to this path right a la Fiera
on a true which comes from an inner
sight I and those who follow me so it's
not the boss sirens not for the Prophet
alone but it's for those who follow him
as well and that comes from a correct
perception of reality which come there's
an intellectual aspect to it but
unfortunately the intellectual aspect
isn't enough because we have Jewish
people in universities in the United
States or Christian people or atheists
or whoever they are that have studies
for instance what the Muslims believe
and in some cases much more deeply than
the vast majority of Muslims and yet it
has not impacted their perception of the
world
so it's something more than simply
intellectually being able to say yes the
Muslims believe this this this and this
it's something that goes beyond that and
so the ateva if you look at what those
elements are the elements there is an
intellectual aspect to it you see we
have to know those attributes of are
lots of cameras on us we have to know
what is impossible for Allah helmet on
we have to know what is permissible what
is it in the realm of possibility and we
have to know also about the Prophet the
nature of the Prophet you see and once
you have this these elements these
essential elements to use this the title
here once you have these things then you
have an actual criterion of for fun or
meta a criterion by which you can
measure all of those things that you are
confronted with and this is why it is
the most essential element in Islam you
see the
we are correct understanding is takes
primacy over all other aspects of Islam
before tip before anything we have to
correctly understand things and perceive
things as they are if you look at the
Shahada what I was saying about both era
that both era is a is a perception that
has to do with a type of site if you
look at actor work ash hadu an LA illaha
a lot she had a means to witness so at
the type of seeing it's translated as
iatest
or or this but if you look at the arabic
word Shahada it means to witness to see
such as i see that there is no god but
allah well ash hadu Ana Muhammadan Rasul
Allah so that seeing is a fight that
takes place in the heart that is why
that is the place of Eman is in the
heart it's not in the intellect it's not
in ratiocination intellectualization
it's in the heart and that is when the
intellectual understanding and the
spiritual or the cognitive mo that the
human being has unite and this is when
we have a complete human being and if
you have emotions without an
intellectual perception then you fall
into the trap of the Christians you see
who everything becomes love I love all
of you in the name of Jesus it's all
emotion that has no meaning and if you
go to the intellect without the heart
you become like the Jews because the
Jews are the ones that that look at
everything in terms of the intellect
they take things apart they like to what
type of cow is it female is it a male
does it do this does it do that what and
that's what they do and that's what
Allah tells us about them that is their
nature they try to take existence apart
they split the atom right and there's
three Jewish people that did that they
actually split let's find out what
happens when we split the atom all right
and then they found out and now we're
living under this constant threat of
nuclear mutual assured destruction whose
acronym is mad right so they call it now
they call it the Islamic bomb this I
mean its interest if you think about it
we didn't invent it who invented it
Linnaeus all right we based on
theoretical formulas that was given to
them by Einstein all right the thing of
zionists and he was a scientist too
so that's it's actually the Jewish bomb
and that's how you should call it the
Jewish bomb say oh we're worried about
the atomic bomb no no it's not this
Homer it's the Jewish bomb they invented
it they have it and they've used it I
mean we know now that they had secret
contracts with the South Africans and
they were testing nuclear weapons in
South Africa which is very odd I mean
it's interesting that the South Africans
who are the most racist white people on
the earth and the Jews from the most
racist people on the earth like get
together they must hate each other right
and because the South Africans I don't
think like the Jews but they have so
much in common right they feel
comfortable because they have the same
operator it's interesting
but birds of a feather flock together so
those are the two ways of going astray
and it's interesting that they're both
mentioned in surah Fatihah when I love
Hannah Montana's Yaak and I will do what
ya understand that by Fiza her hoody is
for Allah it is Diana like worship
adoration is for Allah and if the Jana
is for Allah dependence remind is that
we rely upon Allah is Yakka now with
what you have in a sign and then if you
know so often with nothing guide us on
that straight path right that's straight
path shut off and levena and I'm sorry
the one that you your Nana is with those
people they're on the right path laid in
marble dining and those that the Provost
office that was the Jews and if you look
at it extended it embodies anybody that
falls into I mean even Kenya or him
Allah says that the Muslims will go
astray two ways by the Jewish and that
is their tendency this is in the hadith
that we are the
closest illness of any dysphoria and the
public poll I said and said in a hadith
it's in the mishegoss and my father yeah
he said that that's it the VMS women a
novena man probably compote he said
somebody lucidum sicilian the Benitez
for our ears had won and the man
Hospital Kahneman woman after awhile
Ania the cameraman uma team infernal
Erica that you will follow the Jews just
in their footsteps even if there was one
that went to his mother
sexually in the open there would be from
my Ummah one that did the same thing so
the tendency of the Muslims is to go
astray like the Jews to become obsessed
with the intellect and to lose sight of
the heart that is the tendency the but
the other way is there too and it's
embodied in ignorant worshipers right is
it that and and look if you look at the
Muslims now how many people in the
Muslim Ummah they're ignorant worshipers
they're worshipping Allah without
knowledge and this again is a separation
of these two essential elements in Islam
which is the intellect that Allah has
given has been honored us with and the
heart and these two elements need to be
working and functioning together and if
they're not then you have an incomplete
human being so if you look from an
appeaser point of view the most simple
and basic and it's not it's not simple
it's a bad word but the clearest hears
him sort of it is halal now it's
interesting that it's culturally a flop
because your class means sincerity right
it means to be purified to be Mullis to
be the one that is sincere that they
don't have ulterior motives in what
they're doing and it's also sorted so he
it's the sort of so he so that the
action of the heart
according to Fabio evocative in and out
of these the party not the the Sufi
father Abu Bakr says that the action of
the heart a Middle Earth is two things
and a TFI the the belief was a flop
those are the two things that the Muslim
has to have in other words he has to
have the belief the correct belief but
he also has to have the sincerity that
enables that the need to take into our
last pleasure and content
and so if you're looking for a teraflop
this is the most clear commentary on the
the unity on the dot Peter which the
fundamental and essential element of our
Peter is the stories of a lot of panel
data this is what we differ from all the
other religious teachings in that they
have all deviated from that primal
teaching which is so sheet that is the
primal teaching of Adam and the prophets
that came after him uneven to them and
the culmination is in the Prophet
Muhammad's allotted to them and it's in
the what offensive who are the element
the people his inheritors who have
preserved this teaching by a lot of
panel data and to this day we have still
why he doing the Muslims are not in ship
so the air philosophy is the simple and
clear it's not this a lot I want to use
that word it's not a good word for the
pond but it is the clearest perception
of so he in very concise and the most
eloquent language but if you move then
to to that understanding of absorbing it
then you look at the practical
application that the public alike and
I'm gay if you look at the hadith that
even our bad about the alignment relates
that the promise of my Center was behind
him one day and he said yeah well then
find in the yell with them well I knew
more Peck hitting that let me teach you
some words this is the prophet Elijah
salvia it is teaching the youth because
if an adverse was very young at that
time he said let me teach you some work
and what follows is the pure Islamic
apisa
this is the pure is from yes Holly
laughs yeah opener guard Allah which
means preserve that he'll dude about
lots of panel of data and Allah will
preserve you one of their own Emma says
in Allah Allah yup aloo Goliath Atoka
Anna that one else Lisa when in the
mayor said O'Connor ulema when Noah he
grew hey Luca he said that a loss of
animal data will not ask you about his
essence
nor will he ask you about his attributes
this is the theologians go into the
essence and the attribute and these
meanings he said he will not ask you
he will ask you about what he commanded
you to do and one of them naturally is
to affirm his unity and he will ask you
about what he forbade you to do so he
said seek Allah where he seeks you so
then the prophet Elijah them says yes
I'll be left the second time and this is
a techie that's an affirmation of the
importance of Muhammad which is
preservation preserving our Deen
preserving what Allah has given to us
and this is what the Muslims have lost
as Hevel see they've lost it and the
first thing that went according to the
hadith the boats Elijah and said that
that look that the grips of Islam or WA
Eastern and he said the grips of Islam
will break one by one and he said Oh 1
million of these lock down the cam
that's the first thing that goes in
other words the Sharia the hokum Perdue
and he said and the last thing to go is
the prayer so that is a dangerous sign
for those people out there those Muslims
who thinks by Joffe that I'm a Muslim in
other words in my intellect I'm a Muslim
right like the man in New York who told
me I said how's the fasting going he
said fine I said you're not hungry
because it was long right in the summer
he didn't no no I'm fasting in my mind
so and this is what happens you see the
Muslims that they they've completely
intellectualized Islam out of existence
so there's nothing left because Islam is
not a pita alone in other words it's not
just a belief system that belief system
has the impact on the life or it is not
a PITA in reality it's only information
like the Jewish professor of Islamic
Studies has and our University or
wherever he is
that's all this information and it's
meaningless because the information
without action is meaningless and so he
said yeah I'll be laughs say it whoo -
Jack if you preserve these things these
hadoo that Allah has given us you will
find him in front of you right you will
find a lots of panel of Dianna will be
your Mona your Nasser
he will be your master he will be your
the one that gives you victory he will
be constantly protecting you and then
you said either to enter that's any done
if you add a scale of the panel
because Allah loves when you slave asks
him and likewise the slaves do not like
people to ask them by our nature nobody
you like to give some about but nobody
really likes the beggar to come up to
him and say give me some celica nobody
likes tha
