Now Iím telling you , remember,
you have to assume that you are in a
particular situation where you were hurt
badly and you did not beseech or ask Allah
for help, maybe in your own way. But if the
Quraían guides you itís in this verse.
Surah At Tauba 9: 40
Arabic
If you did not help him so without doubt
Allah helped him. When those who rejected
expelled him out and they were in the hollow
sinking condition of the heart. When he, the
second of the two, said to his companion,
you do not grieve, surely Allah is with us.
Then Allah sent down His tranquility/
calmness on him and strengthen him with
forces you cannot see them. And He made
the word lower of those who rejected and
the word of Allah is that which is higher.
And Allah is Mighty, Wise. You see, when
youíre all alone, lonely, and you must know
this verse, that the messenger is saying
to you. How? In the history they refer
to Hazrat Abu Bakr Radhiatala Anho,
thatís all right. I donít disagree to that.
But you have to understands that the
words of Allah and the situation of
mankind is reoccurring of every individual
who is a believer. If he believes on the
ayahs and you are left alone and you
think that nobody is going to help you, so
its says, if you did not help him so without
doubt Allah will help him. When those who
rejected expelled him out, when they were
in the hollow, sinking condition of the heart,
when he, the second of the two, that is
the messenger said to his companion, you
do not grieve, Allah is with us.
Arabic
Then Allah sent down His tranquility,
calmness on him and strengthen him with
forces you cannot see them. Ands He made
the word lower of those who rejected and
He made the word of Allah as higher which
is higher and Allah is Mighty, Wise. I am
telling you that you have to believe. If you
know these ayats, you mustÖyou are alone
and, when you are alone and you have
memorized the ayahs, you will hear those words
Arabic
Do not grieve. Allah is with us.
The problem is, we do not know the Book.
So we are looking the guidance somewhere
else. So I told you, you are alone.
The nafs of the psycheís alone. But the
thoughts that are imported is of the devil.
And when the ayahs are coming in your
mind, it is the messenger saying to you.
The Quraíanic ayahs is the saying of the
messenger. So when youíre alone, the
two, the messenger and youÖ The two,
the messenger and you, individual. So
whenever the situation arises in your
life, you must understand you are not
all alone if you know the ayats or the
verses of the Quraían. But if you do not
know the ayats or verses of the Quraían,
the shaitan has already explained that I
only invited you. You listened to my call,
now donít blame me, blame yourself.
So you have to take guidance. Guidance
is in the ayahs. And every ayat that you
have to memorize, we Muslims memorize it.
We bow down on the ayahs, the essence of
the ayat. We just do not bow on the
verses, the Arabic text. We know the
essence, the spirit of the ayahs essence,
we bow down on the ayahs, the verses
of the Quraían, the essence of the
message of Allah. And in the message
you get the guidance or the consolation
from Allah - if you believe, if you believe.
That is the most important factor
Arabic
You do not grieve, you do not lose heart.
If you believe, youíll master yourself.
Here alsoÖIf you do not help him, so
without doubt Allah helped him when
those who rejected expelled him out
when they were in the hollow, sinking
condition of the heart Öyou and that
messenger in the hollow sinking condition
of the heart, when he, the second of the
two, the messenger said to his companion,
you do not grieve. Allah is with us. Then
Allah sent down his tranquility, calmness
on him, and strengthen him with forces you
cannot see them. And Her made the word
lower of those who rejected. And the
word of Allah is higher. And Allah is Mighty,
Wise. Surah Al Baqara 2: 186
Arabic
And when My servants ask you about Me,
so surely I am near. I answer the call of
the caller when he calls. Then they should
seek answer/response for Me and believe
with Me and they may become sober.
Ghafir 40:60
Arabic
When your Lord said call me ,
I will answer/respond for you..
Surely those who sought greatness
about serving Me, soon they will enter
hell degraded/lowly. You see, every
human being born , whether he believes,
whether he does not believe, in the Book
of Allah, whenever heís in a condition, he
calls Allah in his own language., in his own
words. O my God, help me, help me, but
he doesnít get an answer. Here it says,
when your servants ask you about Me,
surely I am near. I answer the call of the
caller when he calls. Where mankind is
calling God know where most of the people
, the world, when they are in problem
they ask God. Do they get answer?
They cannot because answer are in the
Book. Here if I say these words, can I
be that man? When your servants ask
you about Me - Me is God - surely I am
near to them, I answer the call, the caller
when he calls. Who is saying this? The
caller when he calls. The caller. Who? God.
So this is the God wordí and when you
read these ayahs, you come to know Allah
is communicating to you. Iím just repeating
the words, you hear my voice. The manís
standing in front of you but the words, no
human can say this. No human mankind can
say these words. They should seek answer
/response from me and believe with Me that
they may become sober. How wiill you?
Because the answer are within the Book.
Because He has created us. Our psyche is
created by Allah. I make a car. I know
how to function the car. I make this, I
make that. I make so many things. I am in
mankind. Now this mankind should know
how it should work. The Creator has created
us. He knows our intelligence, psyche.
He knows how He should respond. So the
Book of Allah is given to mankind for guidance.
You read the Book and find out the problem.
There is not a question of any human being
that is not answered in the Book which will
guide you and give you satisfaction and put
you straight on the path. The questions are there.
The answers are there in the Book. We donít
know. We have to just find out where are
those questions which is related to my question.
Where are the answers related to my
answer? You just have to seek in the Book.
And the Book is coming from Allah. So those
words are not mine or are not anybody else.
But if Iím asking God Almighty and from
there in my thought comes and gives me an
idea that God is responding me who is that.
Shaitan. And that is how people take decision,
thinking that shaitan is talking, God is
talking to me. They go into a psychiatric
hospital. This is people thinking God is
talking. You must understand this is the
words. If I read to anyone, he will say I
ask many people in the world who are not
even Muslim. I ask keh who is that. He
says God. Not a single minute you say God
it isÖresponding. Because you cannot write
like that. You cannot talk like that. But a
man listens voices and thinks God is
communicating to me, take him the psychoÖ
heís got something very wrong. So there are
people in the world, I have found out, the
shaitan becomes theirÖbecause shaitan isÖ
appointed on themÖby God Almighty. He
thinks thisÖGod is talking to me. So this is
the difference. You must understand the
Book is there. The guidance is there. The
message is there. And messenger is saying
is there. The answers are in the Book. The
verses are in the Book. So you have to find
out what is the question. That is the answer.
So youíll get the answer inshalalah.. That is
what He says. When My servants ask you
about me, surely I am near to them. I
answer the call of the caller when he calls.
So the answers are given in the Book. You
have to find out from the Book where the
answers are. Donít you ever think that this
idea that has come to my mind is God talking
to me. Astaghfarullah. Itís not Allah. It is
your own conjectures or the shaitan. Thatís
what first ayat I read that we know that
what the nafss whispers in his mind. Itís
his own whispers or the shaitanís thoughts
that youíre thinking that youíre taking
guidance from that. It is not God. It is
not Allah. Allah says here Then they
should seek an answer /respond for me
and believe with Me that they may become
sober. How will you believe? When you read
the ayahs and you find a question, your
question, and you find an answer, your answer,
and then you can take guidance. And when
your Lord says call me, I will ansdwer/respond
for you, surely those who sought greatness
about serving me, soon they will enter hell,
degraded, lowly. Surah Al Anfal 8: 24
Arabic
O you who believe, seek answer/response
for Allah and for the messenger. When you
are called for that, He will give you life. And
know that Allah surrounds between the man
and his heart. And surely you will be gathered
towards Him. Now in this ayah Allah says, O
you who believe, in the ayahs, the verses of
the ayahs, O you who believe
Arabic
who believe in the verses, in the Quraíanic
ayahs, seek answer/response from Allah
and from the messenger when you are
called for He will give you life and know
that Allah surrounds between the man and
his heart. And surely you will be gathered
towards Him. Now we are all alive, weíve
got a life, but Allah says if you will respond
for Allah and His messenger, He will give
you life. He will give you life. You must
understand what life Allah is talking about. So
next verse Iíll explain then. An Nahl 16: 97
Arabic
Whosoever does correction from male or
a female, he is a believer He will give him life.
Arabic
a good life and definitely We will reward
them their wages with the best that they
were doing. Now you must understand, when
we are alive, at the moment people are live,
alive, sitting in front, and Iím aliveÖNow
what is the life that Allah is talking about?
You see the life we are leading under the
influence of the shaitan I started with this
lectureÖ Now once we are taking shaitan
as our protector and taking lessons from
the shaitan, so we are almost like dead.
We injure ourselves, we injure others, we
hurt ourselves, we do bad. That is badness
and hurtness all around surrounded us.
Wed do hurt ourselves, we hurt by Allah,
we are hurt by ourselves, snfd we hurt
others also, we hurt all thingsÖthis is not
life. This is not ahayatan tayyaba. This is
not good life because then you go in
Arabic
meaning then you are blaming or remorse
or regretful. You have to have a nafse
mutmaelena. Meaning a satisfied soul
or satisfied sewlf. And you can never
ever have a satisfied soul and self when
you do not take guidance from the Book.
Guidance means you listen to the verse
and then you guide yourself. Then only
your nasfa will beÖyou can have anything
in the world, will not benefit you. Believe
me. You will hurt others youíll hurt yourself.
Ultimately you will feel lonely. That is a
real hard fact. Until and unless you take
guidance from the ayahs. So Allah says,
if you respond for Allah and for the
messenger, He will give you life and ,he
will surround between a man and his heart.
What he will surround between the man
and his heart? You see the man, the heart
is otherwise this is just pumping of blood
to this system, thatís the normal meaning.
But heart is beyond that. And it is where
the emotions are generated. Maybe science,
I donít want to go into science, understanding
of this, I simply know one thing. You see,
if I Öyou canÖyou all know thisÖthe
feelings, whenever there is a difference
of feelings, a man feels a heartÖthe beat
changes. If somebodyís angry on you, the
pumping starts. Why? Itís heart is just a
pumping, it should pump constantly. Now,
when you are feeling happy, heartís pumping
is different. When you are feeling angry
, heartís pumping is different. Heart is a
pumping organ of blood. And it is affecting,
whenever youíre affected by emotions, your
heartbeat changes. And thatís a fact. You
can see that. When you are in aggression, your
heart isÖyour emotionallyÖyou can see the
heartbeat is also changed. So Allah says,
because youíre hurt and bad in the world,
so how Allah surrounds the person in the
heart and he comes in between the heart
and the person, because when you seek
response to Allah and His messenger and
you are call for what He will give you life,
then He will surrounds between you and the
heart. Meaning that hurt or the heart which
is being hurt, he will surround that and that
hurtness will slowly, slowly itís likely to go
away. Thatís how he comes between you
and the heart.. Because now you believe in
the verses and the ayahs so that is how
Allah says in this ayat. And whoever does
good, whether heís a mal or a female,
he will give you life
Arabic
He will give you a good life and a good life
and definitely We will reward them the wages
and the best what they were doing. And
another reference Surah Al Anam 6: 122
Arabic
Whosoever was dead, then We gave him life
and made a light for him, he walks with it in
mankind. Can he be the example of the one
who is in darkness and cannot come out from it
, likewise what they are doing is adornment
for the rejecters. Now in this verse that Iíll
give the reference to Surah Al Anam 6:
122, Allah says to a man who does not
know the ayahs of Allah, the spirit of
the essence of Allah, heís a dead person.
He says, whosoever was dead, whosoever
was dead, We gave you life, a life He
madeÖ a life, a good life, Iíve read
before and he says He made a light for
him. Not physical light, by virtue you can
walk because you know the ayahs,
understanding the ayahsí essence. Now
you get a light and then you walk in that
light according to the essence of the
ayahs. He walks with it within the mankind.
CanÖheís comparingÖcan he be an example
of the one who is in darkness and who
can never come out from it. A man who
does not know the rules and regulations
of the governing of his ayats, governing
of ayats himself, heíís completely in darkness.
He doesnít know where heís heading. So
he can never come from his darkness.
But it further says, likewise what they
are doing is an adornment for the rejecters,
those who reject the verses of the ayahs
. Those `who do not follow, they think they
are doing right. It has become an
adornment because of their vain desires,
they are doing and they think it is right.
So we must understand keh how you have
to get life, light from Allah.. Follow
the messenger, a good life from Allah
. Otherwise, you are dead person
according to the ayats of Allah. Whosoever
was dead, then We gave him life. He
walks within mankind. Can be the example
of those, of the one who is in darkness
and can never come out from it? Likewise
what they are doing is adornment for
the rejecters. People who are falling,
who donít know, who are in darkness
can never come out from the darkness.
Surah An Nisa 4: 17, 18.
Arabic
Surely the acceptance of repentance
is over Allah for those who do badness/
hurtness with ignorance., then they repent
from nearness. Then they are those on
whom Allah accepts repentance and Allah
is Knowledgeable, Wise. Now this ayah is
telling us, warning us, all of us, that we
have hurted ourselves., meaning we have
done something bad. Then we are seeking
Tauba or asking for repenting or asking
forgiveness from Allah. Surely the
repentance is accepted over Allah for
those who do badness, hurtness with
ignorance. Ignorance of what? The message
of the Quraían., the ayat of the Quraían,
the verses of the Quraían, the spirit of
the Quraían. You do not know so you
may have committed some wrongs. But
Allah says in ignorance you have done it.
Then they repent after knowing theÖ
understanding the Öthey repent and ask
for forgivenessÖThen they are those on
whom Allah accept Örepentance. And Allah
is Knowledgeable, Wise. But the
acceptance of repentance is not accepted
if the person continues
Arabic
An Nisa, 4-18) And there is no repentance for
those who do badness/hurtness until when death
is present to any one of them. He says,
surely now I repent or ask forgiveness .
And it is not for those who die and they
were rejecters. They are those for whom
We have prepared a painful punishment.
You see, you must understand, Allah is
clearly identifying that the mistakes or
the hurtness or badness you have done
will be accepted if you ask forgiveness.
And you do not repeat. The most important
factor is, do not repeat. If you keep on
repeating, and you know people say in a
very casual way, in the daytime I start my
life, and little, little wrongdoings I do, in
the night I ask forgiveness. And the same,
the other day, I do the same wrong things
and in the night I ask forgiveness. And the
life is continuing and the end of life comes.
And Allah will not forgive you. And you
know, how do you know that Allah is forgiven
you. We keep on asking forgiveness and we
expect that Allah isÖwe still not sure that
Allah forgives you or not. Itís a very simple
answer in the ayat. You see, you ask for
forgiveness or repent for something and if
you do not repeat, Allah is forgiven you.
You can never repeat if Allah forgives you.
You only repeat because Allah is not forgiving
you. You keep on repeating the same mistakes.
You keep on repeating and asking repentance
only at the night time I go to sleep, I ask
forgiveness. And the second day I do the
same again. And again and then again.
And you expect God will forgive you? He
says thereís no repentance for those who
do badness, hurtness until when death is
present. Continuously you do the same
mistake again and again until death comes
to any one of them. And surely now I
repent. It is not for those who die. And
they were rejecter. They are those on whom
We have prepared a painful punishment.
Remember, if we are asking, our
repentance is accepted by Allah if we
do a mistake. Itís in ignorance. We seek
forgiveness from Allah and do not repeat
that mistake. Again Allah is forgiven you.
You will not repeat. If you repeat, that
means Allah is not forgiven you. You keep
on doing it. And you keep number, 100 times
you ask, forgive me Allah. He will not forgive
because youíre repeating. You know itís very
simple, in dailyÖin daily life we can
understand these things in daily life.
You do something wrong, the boss forgives
you. Again you do the same mistake, the
boss forgives you. Maybe three four timesÖ
get out. How do you expect God unjustice
Allah. Allah is not unjustice. Heís expecting,
when you ask forgiveness,. He will forgive
you when you do not repeat. It is better
for you. It is good for you.
It is life for you
Arabic
Surah Az Zumar 39: 53-60.
Arabic
Say, O My servants, those who exceed over
their selves, you do not despair from the
mercy of Allah. Surely Allah forgives the
guilts together. Surely He is Forgiving,
the Merciful. So in this ayah, it say , do
not despair from the mercy of Allah. Allah
will forgive all guilts together. Surely He
is Forgiving, Merciful. Very nice verse. I
read this verse and I stop and I donít read
further, believe me itís very nice that Allah
will forgive all mistakes. And the ayah says
this. But it says further. But people quote
this one verse. O say, O My servants, those
who exceed over their souls, you do not
despair from the mercy of Allah. Surely
Allah forgives all guilts together. All is forgiven.
Surely Heís Forgiving, Merciful. But how?
Then what you have to do?
Arabic
And deputize towards your Lord and submit
for Him from before the punishment comes
to you. , then you will not be helped. It says,
you deputize. Turn towards your Lord. And
submit for Him before the punishment comes
to you. Then you will not be helped. He will
forgive you, all mistakes, all sins but you
have to deputize or revert. Convert to your
Lord and submit for Him from before the
punishment comes to you. And then you will
not be helped. Allah is not helping you after
the punishment is on you. And it says ,
Az Zumar 39: 55
Arabic
And follow the best of what has been
revealed. Towards you from your Lord
from before the that the punishment comes
to you suddenly and you are not of those
who were aware. These ayahs that are being
rehearsed, the message that youíre
conceiving, Allah says He will forgive
all sins of mankind, all sins. But He says
, return, deputize to your Lord before
the punishment comes to you. And follow
what has beenÖfollow the best of what
has been revealedÖto you. .from your Lord
from before the punishment comes to you
- suddenly. And you are not of those who
are aware. So remember these ayahs you
are listening, you must go back and ponder.
Because we have got still life, we are not
on the other stage of life. The Allah is say
He will forgive all sins. Then return or
come back to Allah before the punishment
on you. Then further it says
Arabic text
39: And the soul/the self/psyche will say,
O alas sigh to me for what I neglected/
wasted in taking side of Allah and I was
definitely from those who mocked. Then
after the punishment the soul will say, the
self will say, O alas sigh to me for what I
neglected/wasted in taking side of Allah
and I was definitely from those who mocked.
Meaning in the world I was just a mocking
man. Ha ha ha. This fool. You know,
making a fool., mockery of the believers
and Allah and the Quraían and the message.
I was never serious about it. I did not
take it seriously. I did not amend my life.
So the soul, after the punishment will say
and after the punishment he
will say, or he will say
Arabic
Or she would say, surely if Allah had
guided me, definitely I would have been
from those who take guard. This is
another excuse heís putting forward that
Allah did not guide him. People say,
when Allah does not guide me, how
can I guide myself? You are not taking
the first step and
expecting Allah to guide you
Arabic
Almost the first statement of the Book
is that this Book is a Book of guidance.
It is the Book to guide your psyche. There
is no Book on the earth which says this
statement. That this Book is a Book of
guidance, guide your life. You go to any
place or a country, thereís a guidebook and
you can reach any point in the city or
country by guiding that book. Similarly,
your soul/self is jumble of so many things .
You have to know how to take care of your
psyche. This Book is a
book of guidance. That is
Arabic
That without doubt this is a Book of
guidance to those who take guard, who
preserve their psyche. So surely he will
say, if Allah would have guided me,
definitely I would be among those who
take guard., an excuse heís putting up
against a punishment. Or he will say
Arabic
Az Zumar 39: 58) Or she would say at
that time when she sees the punishment.
Surely if I had another chance, mean that
I will be from those who are good doers.
After the punishment he says, Surely she
would say at the time when she sees the
punishment, Surely if I had another chance,
give me another chance, God, give me
another chance, if I had another chance,
then a chance for me, then I will be from
those who are good doers. No use.
Allah is already said after the punishment,
Heís not helping you. Before the punishment,
Heís helping you.
