1. 0:01and welcome back to taas Institute
2. 0:04Ramadan series for 1446 hij my dear
3. 0:07brothers and sisters we're about to
4. 0:10embark on a list that Allah mentioned in
5. 0:12the Quran a few of us noticed this list
6. 0:16but it is essential and it sets the tone
7. 0:19for the rest of your life this list is
8. 0:21the list in which Allah
9. 0:24says and Allah loves these type of
10. 0:28people and in another set verses Allah
11. 0:32says and Allah does not love those type
12. 0:36of people it really is very interesting
13. 0:39it strikes me on a very high level that
14. 0:43when you have fallen in love with Allah
15. 0:45subhana wa ta'ala not only you love
16. 0:47Allah but you love what Allah loves and
17. 0:51you love what who Allah loves right if
18. 0:55Allah loved the Salah then we love the
19. 0:57Salah if he loves fasting we love
20. 0:59fasting and if Allah loves the righteous
21. 1:01the good people the charitable people
22. 1:04then we love them too and Allah in the
23. 1:06Quran talks to us on a very high level
24. 1:09because he knows that we have taken this
25. 1:13journey of Iman from knowing Allah to
26. 1:16loving Allah to establishing a
27. 1:19relationship with Allah we call it
28. 1:20worship to obeying Allah Allah expects
29. 1:24from us to build the relationship on
30. 1:26love now all what Allah has to say is I
31. 1:31love this typ these type of people I
32. 1:33love this action and we will jump on it
33. 1:36and for Allah to say I don't love these
34. 1:38type of people and I don't love these
35. 1:40actions and we will like run away from
36. 1:42it this is a very beautiful Dynamic it's
37. 1:46very high class it's very like moist
38. 1:50it's very connecting it's really about
39. 1:53our relationship with Allah subhah wa
40. 1:55ta'ala which is the topic of this series
41. 1:58the first type that I want to make
42. 1:59mention for you
43. 2:02is the people who
44. 2:06have sometimes when it said in a
45. 2:08masculine it means a masculine and
46. 2:09feminine and in two places in the Quran
47. 2:12Allah
48. 2:15specifies the those who practice sa
49. 2:18amongst men and amongst women what is
50. 2:21the meaning of the word sa usually it's
51. 2:23translated to patience and usually the
52. 2:26word patience is translated to waiting
53. 2:29for something bad to get away and move
54. 2:32on that's not what sa is sa if we
55. 2:35translate it to English it will
56. 2:37translate to more perseverance endurance
57. 2:41and that's why it translates into four
58. 2:44dimensions the First Dimension to
59. 2:48have to have patience on obeying Allah
60. 2:53you see again when something good
61. 2:55happens in life and let's say people are
62. 2:57praying doing their thing but now they
63. 2:59became very Rich they drop it they don't
64. 3:02have sa they lost their consistency they
65. 3:05lost their persistency they think now
66. 3:07they don't need it so Allah says the
67. 3:10first thing that you should have is to
68. 3:14consistently endure and persevere in
69. 3:17your obedience to me whether what is
70. 3:21hitting you is good times or bad times
71. 3:25you should continue on your journey with
72. 3:27Allah this should not affect you time
73. 3:30and events and circumstances should not
74. 3:33affect your performance you should have
75. 3:35a steady performance second type of sa
76. 3:38is to have sa away from Haram whether
77. 3:41you have going through easy times or
78. 3:43hard times you're going to be
79. 3:46consistently away from that which is
80. 3:49forbidden just having too much money or
81. 3:51having easy times should not lure you
82. 3:54and should not attract you to just drop
83. 3:57this whole Haram and start doing
84. 3:59whatever you want the third type of sa
85. 4:03is and those who have over what happened
86. 4:08to them what happened to them could be
87. 4:11one of five things the major like if we
88. 4:13are to theme tests and trial and
89. 4:15tribulations in the Quran is the lack of
90. 4:18security loss in health loss in wealth
91. 4:24loss of loved ones and the stress that
92. 4:27comes from relationships Allah mentioned
93. 4:31them in the Quran and mentions that he
94. 4:33will test us with that again there is
95. 4:37expectations this world is a world of
96. 4:39test Allah will test you but he will not
97. 4:41leave you alone he will test you but he
98. 4:44will give you the answers that's
99. 4:46guidance and he will stand with you
100. 4:49that's help and that's we
101. 4:52say Ya Allah we we want to worship you
102. 4:55we commit to worshiping you and we
103. 4:57commit to asking you for help because we
104. 4:59need your help so this is how the
105. 5:03believer lives his life Allah is telling
106. 5:06us in the
107. 5:11Quran we will test you with loss of
108. 5:14security loss of wealth loss of Health
109. 5:16loss of loved ones and stress in
110. 5:19relationships but Allah
111. 5:23says give Glad Tidings to those who have
112. 5:27sa oh my god get hard times and
113. 5:32difficult times come with a Glad Tidings
114. 5:37yes who are these who are these
115. 5:40consistent and they endure these Hard
116. 5:47Times those that when a Calamity hits
117. 5:50them they say to Allah we belong and to
118. 5:53him we shall return meaning to Allah I
119. 5:56belong Allah is my we Allah will help me
120. 5:59in this situation Protect Me Guide Me if
121. 6:03I go through pain and suffering he will
122. 6:05reward me he will protect me he will
123. 6:08guide me he will help me go through
124. 6:11it I belong to Allah Allah takes care of
125. 6:15his
126. 6:17own and when I go back to Allah whatever
127. 6:20pain and suffering I'm going through he
128. 6:23will reward me for it this pain and
129. 6:25suffering is not going anywhere again
130. 6:27what we said in the earlier nothing goes
131. 6:29unnoticed unrecorded or unrewarded with
132. 6:32Allah subhana tala this are the three
133. 6:35types of to be consistent with his to be
134. 6:39consistent away from Haram to be
135. 6:41consistent with your faith and not lose
136. 6:43your IM when you go through hardship
137. 6:45that's why we
138. 6:46mentioned to think positively of Allah
139. 6:49you keep your faith when you go through
140. 6:51hard times you don't lose it because
141. 6:53that's when you need your faith the most
142. 6:55who runs away on Allah when he needs
143. 6:57Allah the most I think only a fool will
144. 7:00do that you run away from Allah when you
145. 7:02need Allah the most that's the most
146. 7:05unintelligent thing that one can do and
147. 7:07that's why that takes us to the fourth
148. 7:09level of in which Allah subhana tala
149. 7:12tells us
150. 7:13that to be patient with Allah subh tala
151. 7:17to see Allah's big plan if you read the
152. 7:20story of
153. 7:22mam you know he's escaped being
154. 7:24slaughtered as a baby raised in the
155. 7:27house of the Pharaoh away from his
156. 7:28parents then he came back back to his
157. 7:29parents then he discovered that he's an
158. 7:32Israelite then he killed one of the
159. 7:34pharaoh's guards then he ran away to
160. 7:36median then he lived in Medan then he
161. 7:38came back it is one struggle after
162. 7:41another yet he had he had patience with
163. 7:45Allah's plan for him many people when
164. 7:48they're young they don't have patience
165. 7:50I'm telling you from experience trust
166. 7:53Allah Allah will build you day by day
167. 7:56year by year build your strength he'll
168. 7:59test you make you stronger test you make
169. 8:02you stronger 20 years from now you will
170. 8:05be happy with what you see because you
171. 8:08stuck yourself with Allah subhanahu wa
172. 8:10taala so Allah in the Quran tells
173. 8:16us seek the help of and you're like seek
174. 8:21the help of patience yes because now you
175. 8:25understand patience to be performing
176. 8:27enduring consistent
177. 8:30persistency perseverance it doesn't mean
178. 8:33sit down and do nothing sa is an action
179. 8:36it's a very active action Subhan Allah
180. 8:39and it goes well as the prophet
181. 8:41sallallahu alaihi wasallam
182. 8:43said patience is half of faith and it's
183. 8:46one of the early commands by the way in
184. 8:47the Quran if you look at and then one of
185. 8:51the early
186. 8:53things Allah
187. 8:55says and before it
188. 9:00in one of the early commands that of the
189. 9:03Prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam was
190. 9:04asked to follow and endure and what a
191. 9:08good job did he do mashallah May Allah's
192. 9:10peace and blessings be upon him and may
193. 9:13Allah grant us patience because Allah
194. 9:17says Allah is with those who have
195. 9:22patience give the Glad news and good
196. 9:27tidings Allah loves and since we are on
197. 9:31the list of whom Allah loves and he
198. 9:34mentioned that he loves in his book this
199. 9:36is our first category it's easier said
200. 9:40than done but inshallah day by day year
201. 9:42by year Allah will inspire us to
202. 9:44practice
