Bis Millah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim
For the Quran said at their own ears did you
bloom and this ayah is what the Arabs
called a conditional sentence Germany
sharply yeah that there oniy a stage a
blue comb so whenever you have a
conditional sentence it means that
whatever the proposition of the sentence
is its predicated on the condition being
fulfilled so if you don't fulfill the
condition then whatever is being told is
not going to happen so Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala says at the earliest the doubloon
call on me and I will answer you so what
Allah says is if you call on Allah he
promises to answer you as the doubloon
and that's the condition that he puts
that you just call on him now if you
look at the word Dawa like the Arabs
they say that I adore Atman he called or
he invited or he prayed it could mean he
prayed so if you look at the word though
the word has to do with an invitation
it's an invocation or an invitation like
for instance if I invite someone in my
house I say down to eat of a tea
I called him to my house and so what
you're doing is you're inviting somebody
into some part of your life so when you
call on Allah subhana WA Ta'ala it's
like an invitation you're inviting Allah
subhana WA Ta'ala to help you but every
invitation has certain aspects that make
it appealing no invitation is answered
simply as an invite for instance if
somebody who you don't know at all
invites you to someplace you're likely
to say that's all right because you
don't know the person and you might ask
about him later but you're most likely
you'll just ignore that person or for
instance if you invite somebody to
dinner and then when he gets there you
serve him a glass of water and you say
well that's the dinner he's probably not
going to return an invitation again if
you invite him
dinner so what you do or what humans do
they tend to do when they invite people
is they prepare something and so the
invitation is appealing there's an
appeal to it now when you invoke Allah
super Hanuman to Anna the scholars
stated that there are certain conditions
in other words there are things that you
do now there are circumstances where
those conditions are completely thrown
out for instance somebody who's
oppressed when somebody is oppressed if
they call on Allah subhanAllah Diana
there's no conditions even if he's not a
Muslim an oppressed person the prophets
allah said i'm said lazy bane bane and
monomi wallah hey job there's no he jab
between Allah and an oppressed person
well no kaffir even if it was a cafe
somebody who reject just calling you
know pleading because he's being wronged
and allah subhana wa ta'ala is just so
even just like we would side if we're
fair if we're just if we saw a muslim if
he's oppressing somebody who doesn't
believe in allah doesn't believe in his
prophet we're going to side with the
non-muslim like Sharia hello Paulie when
he sided with the Jewish man against
Satan Ali when he was a mirror and what
meaning because he's being fair so Allah
is fair also so even if one person is
says Allah exists and believes in his
prophet if he's oppressing somebody who
doesn't believe in Allah doesn't believe
in His Prophet
I lost behind with the other sides with
the oppress in that case so those are
places weathers no conditions are thrown
out but in normal circumstances there's
conditions to everything and this is why
a group of people passed by Ibrahim even
Adam in Basara a city in Iraq in the in
a famous city famous for scholarship for
great saints and and people of allah
subhana wa ta'ala famous for grammarians
and many many other things the dates of
Basara were also famous it was a place
of immense abundance from Allah subhana
WA to Anna
but these people he was in the
marketplace and he passed by some
merchants and they said yeah abyss hawk
that was his love you know father is how
we have a question for you and he said
what's your question he said in Navajo
super Honora talakad at the erroneous
did you bleep whom you call on me and I
will answer you like in the drew who
when I used to do plena you know we call
on Allah but we don't see that Allah is
answering us which already indicates
they're ignorant because you're not
allowed to say that the Prophet
prohibited that when you call on a lot
you're not supposed to say I I asked
Allah Allah he didn't call because
there's do as that allow you the
suitable he will actually defer
answering the prayers of the Day of
Judgment there's people that Allah just
loves to hear them complain to him so
he'll just just to hear their complaints
Allah subhana WA Ta'ala will defer
answering their prayers and that's why
one of the Persian Post told the story
about the man who was calling on Allah
calling on Allah and a skeptic walked by
and he said how long have you been
calling on Allah he said Oh years he
said have you got what you've been
asking he said no he said then why do
you keep calling and so the man became
confused because he was simple he was
Abid he wasn't the Adam he was just
devotee he got confused and then he fell
asleep and he had a dream and in the
dream one of the people some say how
thought came to him and said to him why
did you leave your prayer he said I've
been calling and I didn't get the answer
he said no no your prayer was the answer
just that you're at the door of Allah
subhana WA Ta'ala is already an answer
because you know who to go to and
whether he defers it or he doesn't is
irrelevant because your certainty
enables you to realize that just being
at his door is the place to be
so they said we call on Allah he doesn't
answer as he said because your hearts
are dead in other words in order to call
on a lot you have to be alive the dead
don't call Allah subhana WA Ta'ala says
do you hear that do the dead hear you
know so the dead can't even even if you
answered they wouldn't hear they
wouldn't where he said that Akali and
the koodoo become admitted yeah I shot a
TSU
hearts are dead because of ten things
and then he told them what these ten
things were and this is a hikmah from
one of the righteous people of the early
community he was a great valley of God
and people recognized him for his
uprightness he said out of them Allah
fed him to a duel alcohol you know Allah
but you don't fulfill his rights that's
the first problem your hearts will die
because Allah subhanAllah to Anna said
vitamin new hoola la-la-la know that
there is no god but allah and knowing
there's no god but allah and saying
there's no god but allah are two
different things is because even the
hypocrite says that you know him a lot
but knowing and saying are two different
things so he said you say you know Allah
you know Allah but you don't fulfill the
rights of Allah and now my reefa
knowledge of Allah and His Messenger
engenders love that's the nature of
knowledge of Allah and His Messenger the
more you know about the prophets allies
and the more you will love him the more
you know about Allah subhana WA Ta'ala
the more you will love him now the lover
is obedient to the beloved that's the
nature of love if you have somebody who
claims they love you and then they never
do what you ask then you should know
there is a false claim they don't love
you
they're just giving you lip service
because the nature of love is that you
do what the one who you love ask and
that's why one of the poets he said
that's you claim to love Allah and yet
you disobey Him you claim you love Allah
but you disobey Him and then he says
this is a wondrous type of reasoning
that you're using we've never heard of
that before somebody claims they love
and then they don't desert nobody you
lay with I'll see you you claim you love
London you disobey him and then he said
in Caribou casada allah - who if your
love is real you would obey him in and
women boom appeal because the one who
loves somebody is always obedient to
them one of the women who had somebody
was in love with her she said to him
tell me about the one who loves me and
he said God it will cut set at an area
as shabeeha relay he is super what a
tongue cause what it is easy you know
tell me about this one
loves me and don't attract and don't
embellish you know just give me the
straight truth and so the poet said his
states in Kenya lumen motive Adama will
confine gurukul ta kispa and guru then
melomelody if he thought that he would
die from thirst and you said don't drink
he wouldn't drink that's the state of
the lover you see the one who claims to
love and the one who loves are two
different say many people claim to love
Shakespeare he said love is not love
that alters when it alteration finds or
bends with the remover to remove
oh no it is an ever-fixed mark that
looks on tempests and is never shaken
that's love love is not something that
changes when the situation changes
people claim they lose their faith you
know I lost my faith they didn't have
faith in the first place you can't lose
faith because when you were tested
suddenly you lost your son gets taken
away your wealth gets taken away that's
when faith is tested that's when the
mettle of a person is shown is not when
things are going well any of everybody's
a believer when things are going well is
when things are going horribly that's
the test of faith so you say out of the
Malawian - I do have to cut out two more
Quran but I'm that little B you read the
Quran and then you don't act according
to it you read the Quran and then you
don't act according to it so if you if
Allah super Henry Tata says an Amur what
poodle in SEO snob speak well to people
that's an honor from Allah Farren armor
well Kundalini see Krishna and then
you're going around cursing this one a
choosing somebody cuts you off the road
Allah Allah anok allow you have a basic
right that's not what kulilin se Hasina
right it's not anything that happens in
the Quran Allah subhana WA Ta'ala either
asaba to Moosa Batum what do they say
auto in early Lionel a garage your own
when an affliction hits them the first
thing they say is we belong to Allah as
immature
in other words we're his property he can
do whatever he wants and we're going
back to him in other words we know he's
going to reward us for any tribute
we had so that's in the Quran Allah says
that's the attribute of the believer so
you read the Quran but then when an
affliction comes you're all over the
place why me why is this happening to me
what did I do
look at all these bad people over here
what's happening to them that that's
what people do they read the Quran but
they don't apply to themselves they
apply to so and so and so and so and so
and so really they apply to the rulers
why don't they obey the four-alarm the
Quran why don't we obey Allah and upon
Allah simple and moving in it hold them
in up sorry him say to the believers
lower their games Allah subhana WA
Ta'ala says Aladin whom feel sorrow team
harsh your own people that have who sure
in their prayer there are people they do
the prayer you know it's they call it
not put a deke just like a chicken
pecking there's people that they'll go
to the supermarket and they'll go over
avocados for five minutes just to get
the right they'll check all the
different watermelons you know and
they'll teach you ways of doing it
they'll show you no no you see if it's
dry here and I had somebody teach math
it's all science to pick a water mount
where does the watermelon go in one and
out the other but where does your prayer
go
it goes up to Allah subhana wa tada you
give more to a watermelon then you give
to such de and Allah says that you're
closest to him when you're in such de I
mean that's the state of Beni Adam it's
an amazing State people will read a
newspaper they'll spend every day
they'll get the Wall Street Journal
they'll get the New York Times and
they'll read and all these things that
have nothing to do with them whatsoever
nothing you read about some man in New
York that went bankrupt and this sign
and the other and you won't take ten
minutes for the Book of Allah fifteen
minutes 20 minutes but Time magazine
every week read through it cover to
cover
The Economist read through that's what
people do with their life so if they
were reason of what I'm not active
people aren't even reading the Quran
anymore or give some time to the Sunnah
of the Prophet salat incident people get
they get agitated they'll watch
television
watch a movie for two hours people will
watch a movie for two hours excited
waiting - oh I can't I can't just wait a
second I got to see what happens here
but one of the things in reading the
Quran it's makrooh to look to the end of
the Jews to see when it ends right to
see when it ends so how much more do I
have to go
but they'll rewind something else sports
think rewind it let's see that play
again
and we know that in the hadith the
Prophet saws and recited verses over and
over and over again the same verse he
recited the whole night but people don't
watch our rerun over and over again look
at his play you got to see this do you
see that look at that kick that's what
people do that's the state of Benny Adam
it's a pathetic state it's a pathetic
state because people waste their lives
so we read the Quran we don't act
according to the Quran the Quran tells
us that we should have fear in our
hearts that we should have all that we
should have love and then he said at the
age of the Rasul for them come it'll be
soon it e you claim to love the Prophet
SAW lisent but you don't follow his
Sunna I'll give you one example
listen up the Prophet on Friday is to
take a shower to wear your best clothes
to wear your best clothes if you guys
were going for a job interview you think
you'd look like you look today if you
are going for a job interview would you
be late for the job interview
no you'd have your CV ready you'd
prepare the night before you'd be doing
all these things right that's what
people would be doing for a job
interview for their dunya not for the
Ankara for their dunya that they might
or might not get they'll go to links and
extremes to impress people about their
dunya but they won't go to any links or
extremes to impress Allah super Hanna
without about their ocula right people
wear t-shirts t-shirts I don't know I
wouldn't even go outside with a t-shirt
because I have
a more of a sense of dignity about being
part of Benny Adam than to wear a
t-shirt out in public that's an
undershirt muscle never wore undershirts
in public even our peasants you go to
side Muslim and you look at how peasants
dress in their daily life and maybe it's
changed now because they watch so many
big loose Erie runs right I don't know
maybe it's changed but that's the way it
was when I met those IEDs
I saw a peasant that looked like kings
because they had some sense of their own
human dignity and that's the way our
women were as well but people don't have
that anymore people don't have that
anymore seriously when I was growing up
as a Christian in this country what we
went because I was I was Orthodox and
Orthodox as most it's like it's more
rigid than Catholicism right we had to
go in our Sunday best when I was a
little boy a child dressed well we'd go
and you had to sit there quietly
impatient and you would listen and they
would do kiddie Eleison care for hours
it's a three-hour Mass that's what I
