00:00I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:18We praise Him and send blessings upon His noble Messenger.
00:22Respected viewers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon you.
00:30In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:33Alif, Naam, Meem.
00:36This is the Book, and there is no doubt about it.
00:39And the proof for the righteous
00:42are those who believe in the unseen
00:45and establish prayer, and from that which We have given them, they spend.
00:50These verses have been recited before you.
00:55Their translation is that
00:57this is the Book, and there is no doubt about it.
01:04And this is the guidance for those who fear Allah.
01:11Those who believe in the unseen,
01:14those who establish prayer,
01:17and if Allah has given them more provision,
01:25then from that they spend in the way of Allah.
01:29So all these verses are in response to what we asked Allah for in Surah Al-Fatiha.
01:43And Allah told us,
01:47that you should say like this,
01:53that show us the straight path.
01:58So for that straight path,
02:01a book has been given.
02:07In this, the straight path has been told.
02:11In this, all the laws and commandments have been told,
02:14upon which you can walk on the straight path.
02:22Look, what has been said in this?
02:26First of all,
02:29read the Quran, understand it,
02:33but with certainty, remove the doubt.
02:39There is no doubt in this book.
02:42There is no doubt of any kind.
02:44Neither in the fact that it is the word of Allah,
02:47nor in the fact that there is anything in it that is doubtful.
02:55Therefore, with certainty, with faith, come to that guidance.
03:02Then you will get guidance from this book.
03:07And this is guidance for those people who fear Allah.
03:14So what is the fear of Allah?
03:17What is the purpose of fearing Allah?
03:20What is the meaning?
03:21One is that Allah is the glory of your Lord,
03:25His glory, His majesty,
03:29His glory,
03:31and the second is that one should love Allah so much
03:42that he should fear Allah's anger.
03:48Because the one who is loved,
03:51man does not want to make him angry.
03:54And if he does not obey his command,
03:56if he goes against his will,
03:58then he becomes angry.
04:00So in this, the pious people are those
04:04who fear Allah's glory and majesty,
04:08and his glory settles in their hearts.
04:12And the second is that their love for Allah
04:16is so deep in their hearts
04:18that they do not want to make Allah angry in any matter.
04:23And they obey all the commandments of Allah.
04:27And they try to follow the path of Allah and His messenger.
04:32So when this will be done,
04:34then this book will give guidance.
04:37Look, I understand that
04:40through the hadith it is clear that
04:44the person who opens the Quran for this reason,
04:47reads it for this reason,
04:49and thinks that he will get guidance,
04:51then Allah gives him guidance.
04:54But the one who reads the Quran to find flaws,
04:57to find things of his own will,
05:00or to prove some things wrong,
05:04Allah does not give him guidance.
05:08This is the principle of Allah,
05:10that the one who prays for guidance,
05:12he should be given guidance.
05:14Countless people read the Quran in French,
05:17countless people read it in Spanish,
05:20read it in English,
05:22read it in Farsi,
05:24despite that they got guidance
05:26because they had opened that book for guidance.
05:30And if a person reads it in Arabic
05:34and then cannot get guidance from it,
05:38then the reason is that
05:40he does not want to read it to get that guidance.
05:43This is why it was said that
05:46first of all, with complete certainty,
05:48one should read this book.
05:50And this will give guidance to those people
05:53who want to get guidance from it,
05:56who will believe in Allah,
05:58who will fear Him,
05:59first of all from His appearance,
06:01and secondly,
06:02they will be convinced in His love
06:04that He does not want to displease Him at any cost.
06:07And they will follow all His commandments.
06:10And after that it was said,
06:12who is that Muttaqi?
06:15Those who believe in Him,
06:18first of all, they were told
06:20that they believe in the unseen.
06:23So the purpose of believing in the unseen is
06:26that whatever you cannot see,
06:29if Allah Almighty says that He is,
06:32then you should believe in Him.
06:34And if you cannot see Allah,
06:36then still believe that He is Allah.
06:40And you should feel that Allah is there.
06:44And you should believe that
06:46if you cannot see Allah,
06:49then He is certainly there.
06:51And you should believe that
06:53Allah Almighty is seeing you.
06:55He is seeing everything about you.
06:58Whether you are in darkness,
07:00in light,
07:01in a lonely room,
07:02anywhere,
07:03all the time you are in the sight of Allah.
07:07And He is seeing you.
07:09Allah Almighty is seeing
07:11every action of yours or mine.
07:15So this is the belief in the unseen.
07:18That a person who is unseen,
07:21he should understand that
07:23He is present all the time.
07:25That is to say,
07:26he should consider the unseen to be present
07:28with a certainty
07:29that He is seeing all our actions.
07:32And we are in front of Him all the time.
07:35And then we should also believe
07:37that Allah Almighty is there.
07:40He is there.
07:41If we cannot see Him,
07:43then this is not the purpose of it.
07:46Look, a person is blind.
07:48He is going.
07:49There is a stone in front of him.
07:51It hits him.
07:53He falls.
07:55Now the stone is there.
07:57But because he is not able to see,
08:01he is blind.
08:02That is why he could not see the stone.
08:04This is not the purpose of it
08:06that the stone was not in the way.
08:08Therefore,
08:09because of our weak faith,
08:12because of the weakness of the light of vision,
08:15or because of the lack of interest,
08:19we cannot feel Allah Almighty's presence.
08:22So this is not the purpose of it.
08:25Or we cannot see Him with these eyes.
08:28Because these eyes cannot see His presence.
08:31He is unlimited.
08:33And we are limited.
08:35Our space is limited.
08:37We cannot see above the sky.
08:39So this is not the purpose of it.
08:41This is why it is mentioned in the Quran.
08:43Firstly, this is a condition
08:45for those people who want guidance.
08:47And then,
08:49that they keep their prayers.
08:52That is, they pray with restriction.
08:55In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening,
08:57in the evening, in the evening.
08:59And when they say Allahu Akbar,
09:02they stand on this too.
09:04And the whole day,
09:05neither the outer idol,
09:07nor the inner idol,
09:08i.e. the idol in the heart,
09:10the idol of the nafs,
09:11and many other idols
09:13that we have placed in our hearts,
09:14the idols of our speciality,
09:16and the external idols,
09:18they do not bow down in front of anyone
09:20except Allah.
09:21And they say,
09:22when they start their prayers,
09:24they say Allahu Akbar.
09:25So the purpose of it is
09:27to always consider it Akbar.
09:30At that time,
09:31this feeling is the greatest.
09:32There is no one greater than Him.
09:34And from within,
09:35sacrifice your desires for His special greatness.
09:39And then,
09:40the attribute that has been mentioned,
09:42wa min ma razaqnahum yunfiqoom
09:45That which Allah Almighty grants them,
09:48in that,
09:49if it exceeds their needs,
09:52if it exceeds their capacity,
09:55then they spend it in the way of Allah.
09:58So this is why,
09:59from the initial verses of the Quran,
10:02one thing is becoming very clear,
10:04that till that time,
10:06we cannot benefit from this book,
10:08we cannot benefit from it,
10:10till we do not doubt it,
10:12till we do not believe it.
10:14And we will have to fear Allah,
10:16that He is there,
10:17He is watching us,
10:18He is present,
10:19and through the way of Allah Almighty,
10:21and then we have to go ahead in His love,
10:23then we have to establish prayer,
10:25and then we have to go ahead in His love,
10:27which He has bestowed upon us.
10:29Dear viewers,
10:31May Allah Almighty be your Protector and Helper,
10:33and may He grant me and you the ability,
10:35that whatever I have said,
10:36we can follow it.
