Transcripts

my beloved brothers and sisters in Islam

I am very happy to be here with you and

at the same time I ask you all to pray

for me and inshallah I pray that Allah

subhanahu wa'ta'ala grant us all

J may Allah grant us paradise and may

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us from

among those whom he is pleased with as

you know we are speaking of the pleasure

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala one might

ask why do we need to please Allah

that's a question I was asked by a

little child once why do you why do we

need to please Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

I think that's a good

question it will take us back to where

we were before we were born so if I were

to ask you if you were say 45 years old

where were you 46 years ago 47 50 years

ago where were you you would have to say

one of a few things if you didn't

believe perhaps you might say I don't

know or sometimes if you do believe but

you really don't know you might want to

say I don't know if you want to hear the

correct answer you might say I don't

know but it's very important for you to

keep asking yourself the question why

was I created where was I before I was

born and where will I go after I die

that will help you understand why you

need to please Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

who is Allah Allah is not a human being

Allah is not a creature Allah is the

creator Allah is the one who made Allah

is the Supreme deity whom we all worship

we call him the maker when we say it is

actually a powerful term it means the

one who made you the one who nourishes

provides protects who cures the one

who's in absolute control of every

aspect not only of your existence but

entire existence he's in control of it

so if he created he

says indeed it is he for

him was the creation for him is the

creation the creation not only belongs

to Allah it was made by Allah

if he made it he has the right to

instruct that's something you need to

know why does Allah have the right to

instruct

me because he created so he has the

right to

instruct if you made something you will

choose you will decide if you are a head

of a school you will decide the rules of

the school or you will fulfill what the

system would like you to fulfill in

terms of rules that govern that

particular School

so if you go back to Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala the fact that he made us it is

definitely his right to decide what he

wants from us but now I need to know

where I was before I was created there

is only one option only one option I

need to

read what my maker said because science

doesn't have the answer

doesn't medicine does does not have that

answer where was I say someone might say

well you know what you might have been

separated in the form of you know a

droplet of sperm and perhaps an egg what

about before that what about before my

mom and dad and what about well before

that I was definitely nothing Allah says

has man not passed through a time where

he was nothing to be mentioned the

beginning

ofah before you were born nothing to be

mentioned no one could talk about you at

there was a stage when people didn't

even know whether you were male or

female only later on they found out

after a certain period of time or when

the embryo was there then they could

test and see male or female what about

before that they didn't know they had no

idea so that is Allah subhanahu

wa'ta'ala he created he decides the only

thing I have to be able to tell me where

I was is Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala it's

Revelation it's Muhammad sallallahu

alaihi wasallam the previous prophets

they brought that news and information

confirmed by Muhammad sallallahu alaihi

where were you we were in the form of

souls Allah decided subhanahu wa ta'ala

that he wants to be worshiped and he

wants to test whom he will call Banu

Adam he calls us Banu Adam in the Quran

the children of

Adam so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala chose

that and

therefore he created

us and he tells us

don't lose the path don't lose the path

there is a path I will show you Subhan

Allah you know the beginning ofah if you

read the first verse I just read it do

you know what the next one

[Music]

says indeed we have created ated man

from a droplet of

semen mixed Allah subhanahu wa taala

says obviously it mixes it mixes with

what you have the male the female

gametes fuse creating a little zygote

embryo fetus call it what you want at a

different

stage but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

in order to test him in order to test

him that's why we created him and in

order to pass your test we gave you

faculties you have a brain If you didn't

have a brain you you don't worry the

test is not yours the pen will never be

lifted if you were born without the

faculty of the mind don't worry if you

were born unable to see unable to hear

your test is limited to what you've seen

and heard

understood a person who for example is

told this is beef he cannot see and he

relied on being told that it was Halal

and he couldn't see he couldn't take it

a step further he happened to consume it

his test stopped at a point where his

ability stops the same with all of us if

you are unable to do something your test

has

stopped but when you are able to do

something your test continues up to that

ability so Allah says we gave you the

faculty of hearing and sight it's part

of your test you're going to come onto

the Earth and yes after a while we will

take you away like we've taken away

those before

you now the difficulty is on earth when

we get here there are many distractions

so much so that the distractions become

the main focus of the

people and this is why Allah reminds us

to go and look at where you're going to

go after your life here and I want to

spend a moment if you would like to know

what the world will be like after you

have departed take a look

at what has happened when those you have

known have

departed I want to ask you guys a

question and I know may Allah subhanahu

wa tala Grant all those whove passed

away may Allah have mercy on

those uh and may Allah subhanahu

wa'ta'ala bless us all and have mercy on

us the day he takes us away to

as you and I know that when a person

passes a

away we are taught to make Dua for them

to supplicate for them to ask for them

goodness the mercy of Allah and so on

how many of you have lost a family

member please put up your hand

High almost all or a lot thank

you now I'm not going to ask you if you

miss them or not and I'm not going to

ask you how much you think of them I'm

going to tell you I'm going to inform

you how much you think of them

I want to tell you that when they died

you missed them more you cried for them

you perhaps missed them a lot and as the

days passed it's not like you did not

want to miss them it could have been a

father it could have been a mother a

grandfather grandmother your brother

your sister your child may Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala grant them

jenah but I promise you you become busy

with your own life and what happens

there comes a time when if I were to ask

you 10 years later you'll say I had a

child who drowned may Allah Grant him J

and make it a means of you entering

Jenna too I had a child who drowned and

that child I you know I missed the child

so much but nowadays I think of the

child once in a

while we have a father for example who

may have passed away initially it was

difficult initially we cried those of

you who've lost a father maybe 15 years

back you will admit that it's not like

you don't want to miss them but Allah

has kept your test separate from your

father's test so therefore you tend to

remember them less you become busy with

work with earning you go to work every

day you come back you become busy with

your own spouse and children and so on

so what happened life continued people

forgot Those whom they loved exactly the

same way they're going to forget you

your children will think about you less

and less and less when you get much

older it's no longer about your father

your mother you may remember them once

in a while and say Allah may Allah have

mercy on them but in all honesty it

becomes less as time passes isn't that a

sign a sign that at a certain point your

most beloved people will forget about

you you were buried and gone just like

you buried others and they went and it

started diminishing the amount you

thought of them and missed them began to

diminish why did Allah keep it that way

way because before you came onto the

Earth there was no connection between

you guys there was no connection between

you your father didn't know he's going

to have you Allah knew but that was all

a test Allah says in the

Quran I have not created mankind or gin

kind except that they worship me it's a

test for them so when we get engrossed

in what the world has to offer in a way

that it makes us lose focus upon that

which we are definitely going to

encounter then we are at loss I'm not

saying don't live your life I'm not

saying don't have nice things good

things but that is all secondary to be

honest with you primarily you don't know

when you're going to go you don't know

how long you're going to live for you

don't know if you're going to be able to

use what you are striving ding towards

earning regarding this world a person is

after a million pounds and he thinks to

himself or she thinks to herself look

I'm going to really earn my first

million and I want to make sure that I

get it and Subhan Allah they start

working towards it if they have

forgotten their dress code they've

forgotten their Salah they have

forgotten their Halal andam they have

forgotten all about their duties unto

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala even if they

get that million let's be honest what's

going to happen a day will come when

they have to return to Allah they have

to go back to Allah come what may you

could have had the latest phone the

latest car the latest home the most

updated kitchen Subhan

Allah the voice controlled kitchen I'm

sure you know about

it you could have had anything but at

the same time you will leave it behind

when you came onto the earth when you

came onto the Earth you came with

nothing

many of us our fathers or mothers or

parents couldn't

afford even to send us to

school and then Allah blessed us and

Allah bestowed upon us but it becomes so

sweet that we forget what the real

sweetness is and that is the pleasure of

Allah when Allah is pleased with

you you taste the sweetness in whatever

he's given you whatever he's bestowed

upon you whatever comes in your

direction you know the Affairs of a True

Believer are amazing if goodness comes

in his Direction he's happy he thanks

Allah and he and everything is okay for

him and if something befalls him in

terms of Calamity or negativity he Bears

patience he knows Allah is happy with me

nothing more I want look at

sallam he says on more than one occasion

and one of those instances was just at

the time when he was in coming out of

and the angels came to him saying we can

destroy these people because they are

harming you and he says oh Allah if you

are pleased with me there's nothing more

I want if you are happy with me there's

nothing more I want why all this I'm

going to leave here now I'm talking

about ourselves right those who have

hassled us and harassed us we're going

to leave them behind those who have

helped us and kissed us we're going to

leave them behind Those whom we've had

children with we're going to leave them

behind the very children we're going to

leave them behind our money left behind

iPhones left behind you can hand them

over inshah when I'm complete there

in everything Left Behind Subhan Allah

completely Left Behind have you thought

of it and we fought for it I'm not

saying you're not allowed to pursue that

to a degree you are not beyond that

limit so the true Pursuit is for the

pleasure of Allah I will have my iPhone

but I will work towards it I will make

sure I don't do something Haram to get

it and I will make sure that it does not

make me go against the rules of Allah

subhanahu wa tala once you get your

iPhone Subhan Allah or it's just an

example okay I use Samsung by the way so

once you have that phone what happens it

how you use it really will be for you or

against you everything you do is

actually a test for you or against is it

within the pleasure of Allah or not if

it is take you passed it if it is not

cross you failed it that's what it is so

we ask Allah subhah tala to open our

doors to be pleased with us work towards

it if you come to Allah even a little

bit he comes to you much more than that

he's the Creator he does not need our

worship we need it it's our test you

know the examiner knows the

answers to the test the mathematics test

the The Examiner knows the answers but

the examiner will not tell you the

answers because then the test does not

become yours in Allah subhanahu wa

tala's case yes he's the examiner he's

testing us indeed he told us the answers

and he's telling us I'm going to put you

through situations you know the answer

my brothers and sisters we all know what

is right and wrong we all know what is

expected of us as Muslim and it's

beautiful yes there is a lot of

discipline

goodness kindness so much more worship

Allah alone follow the footsteps of

Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam as

best as you can stay away from sin and

where you have faulted go back and

repent that's an answer imagine that's

that's like erasing the answer the wrong

answer and putting a right one you know

when you enter the examination room

there is a specific period of time and

you must answer in that period of time

and what happens is if you've written

the wrong answer you can ask for another

paper you can cross out the wrong answer

for as long as it's within the time and

you can write the correct answer once

the bell rings once the time is up you

have to hand those papers in it's gone

the same applies in this world we are in

the exam room for as long as we are

breathing for as long as we're alive you

can keep changing the answers you can

ask for a new sheet Toba Subhan Allah

you can turn back to Allah I made a

mistake for example those who might have

committed big crimes those who were

hooked onto pornography for example or

adultery or gambling or drugs or

anything else they can say oh Allah

forgive me oh Allah I have changed my

ways I regret I'm not going to do that

again you given a new page now you write

the correct answer and what happens that

carrot will dangle itself again I know

of a young man who quit pornography

after a few years may Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala grant us the strength to quit

whatever bad we might be doing whether

it's that or something else so he

quitted and then he says after a while

that you know immediately after that

things happened to me that seemed to be

making this bad habit of mine dangle in

front of my eyes as though it's teasing

me now you've asked Allah's forgiveness

let's see it's going to be made much

easy you going to come is you going to

come that's your test that's Allah

subhanahu Wa ta'ala A person who says

okay I'm not going to do this anymore

I'm not going to drink alcohol anymore

and suddenly they enter tesos and

there's a huge sale you know that which

he used to drink so much and suddenly

it's you know two for the price of one

and is looking at it and he says Allah I

promised you I'm not going to do it so

it's over that's a winner that's the

pleasure of Allah whereas another one

would say Allah I know you are so

merciful so you know what after this

sale I'm going to quit again if that's

the case there'll be another sale and

another sale and another said but when

you've pleased Allah there is a

sweetness that is of a different

nature there is a sweetness of a

different nature you know sin has a

sweetness that is fake it has a

sweetness people are excited it it's a

boost and you go it's like cheating in

the examination it's so exciting until

you get caught and then suddenly you're

headlines on the news why you cheated

after having all A's what did they do

it's like those who you know the

Olympics just passed now I don't know

about this particular one but in

previous ones the example is those who

won the race and 6 months down the line

or after the race a few weeks down the

line it was found that their blood

sample was or had traces of something

that was unacceptable how do they

feel it's a disgrace not only to

themselves but the whole nation that

they were

serving so imagine when a person commits

a sin I told you there is a fake

sweetness there is a sweetness Shan

pushes you to it adultery is far sweeter

than being intimate with your own spouse

but it's a fake sweetness it comes with

a lot of regret afterwards it comes with

a lot of Darkness afterwards it comes

with a lot of bad within a person it

leads you to something else and another

it leads you to take Allah out of the

equation in a way that when you're on

your deathbed you start thinking wo what

did I do my entire life did I pursue the

pleasure of Allah no I didn't I pursued

the pleasure my own Pleasures the

pleasure of the devil I became a devil

myself I went against the commands of

Allah people say Islam has too many

rules and regulations I say yes full of

discipline you if you're disciplined you

achieve we've given examples in the past

of private schools they have many more

rules sometimes than schools that are

perhaps public not to say any one of the

two might be getting better results

that's got to do with how hard they

worked perhaps but the general idea that

we have especially in my part of the

world is when you're sent to a school

that has a lot of rules and regulations

your character is refined your conduct

people can see it just from the way you

speak the way you interact many rules

regulations so we too as Muslim have a

lot of rules and regulations and Allah

says when I have prohibited you

something this is these are the words of

Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam when

something is prohibited when Allah

subhanahu wa taala has prohibited

something stay away from it and when

when something is instructed do it as

best as you

can do it as best as you can amazing

that's how you will achieve the pleasure

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so be

focused my brothers and sisters upon

something that will destroy all

prohibited

desires anything that is lustful

prohibited that which is immoral that

which is filled with sin the regret or

should I say this that which is

transgression against the commands of

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala if you really

are focused upon the fact that in a few

moments you're going to be meeting with

Allah then by his will by the help of

Allah waala you will be able to do more

to please Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala you

will be able to do much more like I said

the worldly life is marketed today in

such a way that it makes it seem like

that is the focus that is the main aim

those people are at a loss the day they

die everything comes to an end whatever

they lived for is over now they are in a

place where they did not not prepare for

that's the difference between a Believer

and the one who doesn't believe a

Believer believes that I'm going to go

somewhere I need to prepare for that

Eternal Place more than I've prepared

for the few years I'm here you know a

lot of us we want to buy a home a house

mashallah so what happens we end up

paying towards the house for many years

say 20 years that sounds realistic right

20 to 30 years we end up paying slowly

in installments inshallah Halal

installments by the will of Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala but we end up paying

slowly how many years did you pay for

the house you paid for it 25 years let's

say 25 years okay because I didn't hear

hear a yes when I said is it realistic

so maybe in Britain it's five more years

okay

so 25 years you paid you started at the

age of 25 you paid for another 25 years

by the time the house became yours you

were 50 years old old you had another 13

years if you lived as long as wasallam

who was the most loved by Allah

subhanahu wa taala say you died at 63

that's where he passed away so 63 you

had another 13 years to enjoy what the

house 13 years later you went or I went

may Allah grant us J but if we didn't

prepare for the Palace of the Hereafter

which is eternal then we would have just

had a house for 13 years here in the

world that too you have roof leaks you

need to update the house you need to

paint it you need to change the

wallpaper every now and again and if you

have a bossy spouse you need to change

it every so

[Music]

often notice I didn't say

wife so my brothers and sisters the idea

here is yes you want your home you will

have your home everything is fine it's

beautiful but just prepare for the other

one it's not so difficult it's

intertwined don't miss your Salah while

you're earning for the house this this

house so I'm paying for that house and

this house you hear that worship Allah

alone that's by far the biggest payment

so wherever others are being worshiped

besides Allah deities or wherever

polytheism is being committed just by

staying away it's a payment for

theb it's a payment for the Hereafter

wherever Muhammad sallallahu alaihi

wasallam path is you follow that path

it's a payment for the

Hereafter by seeking Allah's forgiveness

it's a payment for the Hereafter you're

paying for that house that is the

pleasure of Allah because a true Winner

Is He Who or she who is going to be on

the day of judgment proud of what he or

she has done you know the ideal the

ideal as a Muslim is as follows it's

called or should I say it's encapsulated

in a Dua

oh Allah grant us goodness in this world

we all want it oh Allah I want a

beautiful spouse I want lovely children

I want those who will be the coolness of

my eyes need a bit of cash as well Ya

Allah and I need so many other things I

need uh you know I need a beautiful

house a nice car I need ease I need good

health Mah that's dun that's the the H

of the D it's a powerful Dua right I

know tonight we're all going to be

saying that Mah 10 times 11 times 12

times no restriction number of times but

we're going to be repeating it oh Allah

and we're going to think of all the

things I said right maybe even more

Subhan Allah you want a good complexion

a nice skin without makeup mallah yeah

yeah yeah I know but at the same time

Subhan Allah you got to

say that's not it that's not it even if

you

would okay let's say it even if when you

died they had to put makeup on your face

to look good trust me when you went into

your grave that face will still

decompose

sounds gross doesn't it I had to say it

for you to understand the power

of oh Allah when my bones are decomposed

when my face is no longer recognized by

human beings you recognize me as a

friend of yours

allahar how will Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala befriend you when you have made

it your business to befriend

him by doing

what I'm going to get up for no matter

how difficult it is I'm going to

try my sisters I want to tell you

something one of my relatives told

me you know nowadays the industry of

makeup has become serious it's become

face painting rather than you know

makeup it's become something totally

different it used to be makeup people

used to say Halal Haram we used to say

okay within certain limits nowadays it's

become so so much and one of my

relatives says we get lazy to fulfill

Salah because you're holding in your woo

knowing that you know what I don't want

to break my woo because I don't want to

remove my makeup if that's the case go

without

makeup you might be saying what did he

say I'm honest with you if you have a

choice and if that's going to shift you

out of Salah make it you know we have we

have Salah that is shortened and perhaps

you know read in a different way in

Journey there's no verse of the Quran

that says when you've put makeup the

same rule applies there isn't so if you

want to make Allah happy if you are in

pursuit of the pleasure of Allah you

will know your limits and if you have to

make woo so what I will wipe it off I

will take it out I will make my woo

correctly and then I will earn the

pleasure of Allah I will fulfill my

Salah but that comes

first something's just come to my mind

I'm going to share it with you because I

don't know when next we'll get an

opportunity to speak you see sometimes

there are certain things that are

questionable if you know Halal is clear

Haram is clear in the middle there is

something that may not be so clear

theith teaches you to stay away from it

to save yourself that's theith in Muslim

it's aith of it's a powerful everyone

should know it so one of the examples is

I was asked once and I didn't do deep

research okay I was asked once about a

certain type of nail polish and people

told me you know what it's breathable

and then others say it's not breathable

and others say can we can we not so I

said forget about breathable not

breathable there is an argument okay you

agree for one inch of paint how much for

one inch of paint I don't want to arrive

on the day of judgment and suddenly find

out you know what all your Salah were

wrong you say oh no man I don't want to

find out on the day of judgment that

because of one inch of paint when there

were other Alternatives such as h or

anything else that nobody argued with

because of one inch of paint all my

Salah was not in order and the opinion

that stated that it was not valid was

the correct opinion and I find that out

on the day of judgment in Arabic

language it's

called to come out of the difference of

opinion do that which is safer you're

not going to die without putting a

specific thing on your nails you're not

going to die without these things I

promise you

it's not going to kill you people won't

even notice so what we just wanted

people to say wow looks nice and your

Salah is gone everything's gone Subhan

Allah it looked nice but it wasn't in

pursuit of the pleasure of Allah it was

in pursuit of the comments of the people

that's what Instagram's all about that's

what Facebook's all about that's what

fingernail group book is all about if

there is a book called fingernail group

book can't even say it cuz Facebook is

supposed to be the face I don't know

they show everything but in the

face so my brothers and

sisters in reality just be focused upon

the pleasure of Allah you'll enjoy the

world the last part of the Dua

is oh Allah give us goodness in this

world give us goodness in the Hereafter

save us from the punishment save us from

the punishment of the fire we all would

like to be saved my brothers and sisters

I hope that I've touched on uh the

pursuit of the pleasure of Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala why it is and also a

few examples of how to be able to

achieve it to be focused inshallah on

that which is coming it's definitely

coming there's no point in being

frightened about death because it's

definitely going to come and take every

one of us rather prepare for it we are

concerned we are worried to a certain

extent because we have to but we know

definitely there is something far better

awaiting us and that is the pleasure of

Allah if Allah is pleased with you you

notice your dya will be in order your

will be in order and everything else

will be in order I've spoken to you for

32 minutes and 25 26 28 seconds may

Allah subhah waala forgive us all it's

just been an absolute honor and a

pleasure
