The Key to Success Remembrance of Allah Heart Matters EP Shaykh Dr Yasir Qadhi

on this 27th night of Ramadan in the year 1444 of the Hijra we are winding down our series on purification of the khalib tonight actually will be the last topic tomorrow is the conclusion and then we are done so on this night wanted to conclude on that aspect of the heart that aspect of the purification of the Khal that frankly is the most Central and the most important this aspect that we will discuss today it differentiates the people of Allah from all others it differentiates the righteous from those that are not righteous this aspect is the primary mechanism to come closer to Allah the primary mechanism to soften the heart and to purify one's Soul what is this one aspect that is so important it is the zikr of Allah nothing substitutes the thicker of Allah in our journey to Allah Allah commands Us in the Quran or you who believe frequently and copiously are too much to summarize in my seven eight minutes but just few things to incentivize us our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam mentioned to us in Hadith the example of the one who does Dicker compared to the one who does not do zikr is the example of the one who is alive versus the one who is dead literally the difference between the thicker and non-dicker is life and death says the zikr of Allah to the heart it is like water to the fish when you take the Fish Out of Water what's going to happen so too the thicker to the heart if you don't do zikr what's going to happen to your Club your spiritual in fact Allah has told us in the Quran that every single ritual we do the reason for it is the thicker of Allah established and in Hajj Allah says when you finish of your ancestors in the Days Every Act of rituals it is legislated for the higher purpose of therefore we must tap into the potential of Allah whoever does Allah Allah will remember him said never do group of people do vikkar of Allah in any Gathering except that Allah mentions that gathering in gathering more noble than their Gathering can you imagine Allah mentions you Allah remembers you Allah knows you of course Allah knows everyone but when you do liquor special connection is formed of Allah protects you from so many things it protects you from all evil in Hadith how process and give an example he said imagine somebody fleeing from an enemy riding fast on horse he has no protection the Army is behind him and he comes across protected Fortress that he can go into and lock he gave that analogy then he said this is the example of the zikr of Allah in Arabic it is protected Fortress against shaytan liquor protects you from shaytan they could protects you from other protects you on the day of judgment our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said seven are the people who will be sheltered when there is no shelter other than the shelter of Allah one of them Allah brings you shelter on the day of Judgment of Allah makes your scales heavy on the day of judgment is heavy in the scale even though saying it is light liquor of Allah is the number one thing to save person from the punishment of Allah our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said nothing can save person more powerfully from the punishment of Allah than the thicker of Allah what this means if person is sinner and he deserves to go to jahannam he has sins that cause him to go to jahannam what is the most powerful ticket to get out what's the salvational card what is the most powerful deed that he can use to beg and plead that Allah I'm still I'm sinner but please save me our Prophet said the biggest salvational factor for The Sinner is the thicker of Allah as our Scholars mention Allah will not throw into jahannam the tongue that is constantly doing thicker of him even if the body deserves to be punished but the tongue that is constantly doing Allah Allah will not throw that tongue into saves us from the punishment of Allah identifies our places in Jannah in very beautiful hadithi our Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam went up to the journey of Israel in that even night journey and he met Ibrahim and Ibrahim gave message to all of us through him repeat Ibrahim gave me and you message and he used his own grandson the prophet saws to send that message he said to his own grandson his own descendant send my salaam to your ummah he is giving us his salaam send my Salam to your and tell them that Jannah has fertile soil soil is ripe soil is ready but there's no fruits in it there's no seeds in it the soil is ready but there's no plants right now you have to plant your plot in Jannah what will be the mechanism that you plot your seeds in Jannah Ibrahim through our processam told us tell them the plants the seedlings that will give them the trees every thicker they do subhanallah will give you tree alhamdulillah will give you tree will give you tree Allahu Akbar will give you tree can you imagine every thicker you do this means your plot of land has to become bigger because the tree has to become so every thicker you do you will get larger and larger plot and you will get tree in Jannah this is the beautification of our spot in Jannah much can be said brothers and sisters about the vikr of Allah one Hadith comes to mind famous Hadith is others an elderly man walked into the Masjid hobbling on his staff and in front of everybody he made very blunt request he said ya rasulullah you see how old am his feeble he's walking like this and Islam came to me at an old age I've embraced at this age and he confessed and don't have the youth to compete with these others can't compete with them in their Good Deeds it's not my fault accepted Islam they came into me so tell me one thing that can do through which can get to the makam of these youngsters around you even though don't have that youth look at the beautiful question the wise question can't do what these others are doing tell me one thing at my age can do and can still catch up to them will process them held on to his tongue and he said command you to do zikr of Allah for nothing can substitute that you shall be able to catch up to these youngsters even though he was mean because he was much older them you will be able to catch up to them through the zikr of Allah that is how powerful thick it is brothers and sisters all of this month we have been discussing how to come closer to Allah purifying our making sure we have Salim the number one mechanism that will help us in all of these different topics is the continuity of and to make things easier subhanallah has no preconditions you don't need to face you don't need to stand up you don't need to have wudu you don't need to be in particular place you can do thicker lying down you can do Thicket in the state of janaba by ijima unanimous consensus you can say subhanallah in the state of janaba or in zoom in the cycle there's no restriction on the thicker of Allah anywhere you are sitting in traffic between meetings just sitting at your desk so if you want to come closer to Allah and purify your Khal the number one mechanism your most important tool is you need to become addicted to the thicker of Allah morning and evening night and day throughout the day throughout the night keep on doing all types of atkal and the four most powerful are mentioned in the Hadith that just mentioned to you subhanallahu Akbar and you can add to this these five says around them Center all of the other much can be said brothers and sisters but I'll conclude on this one Ayah five verse five words in the Quran summarizes the entire month-long lecture series I've been giving five words memorize them and Implement them which means attention Hey listen to this Allah means have something to tell you pay attention Allah means I'm going to tell you something really important and Allah says Allah come listen have something to tell you Allah what does you what does Allah want to tell us only through the zikr of Allah shall the hearts find Tranquility you want peace in your life you want to be cut off from the problems of the Dunya the problems and stress of wealth of health of finances of all the politics you want to have refuge that you will find comfort in the worship of Allah there is only one primary mechanism may Allah make us of those who are they in Allah and tomorrow inshallah we will conclude our complete series and the day after tomorrow is in in Audible foreign foreign
