How We Lose Our Iman - Khutbah by Nouman Ali Khan

Michalis Audrey where cilium leave a clue dr. Tommy listen II of Kali allahumma thabbitna and L know tibi la ilaha illallah muhammad and amina ladina amanu aminu sorry Hut but Allah so we'll Huck what I was always a Meany rabbul aalameen the intention of today's Kaaba is to actually share with you part of just one ayah that belongs to so little Hadid but in order to share some lessons from this ayah with you I'd like to you know give you some context this ayah belongs to the very middle of so little Hadid and in the very middle of sort of hadith Allah paints a scene of Judgment Day Judgment Day is something that a lot about in many places in the Quran and usually when he talks about it he talks about people that are heading towards Jenna the believers and people that are heading towards the Hellfire the disbelievers but this passage in particular is unique because Allah instead of comparing believers to disbelievers he compares believers to hypocrites a la maleta Johanna Minho may Allah not make us from them but Allah instead of comparing those who have faith as opposed to those who have no faith is actually comparing people who have faith as opposed to people who thought they have faith or pretended to have faith or their faith was there but is of no value to Allah on the day of judgment this is the munafa may Allah not make us from them but this this is why this passage is of particular importance because it tells us many things about how not to end up on that in that scene on Judgment Day to summarize what's going on in this passage allah azza wajal says that on the day of judgment believers when they stand the prophets i salam will be able to see them young matara meaning allah allah o allah o messenger can see the entire Ummah and me Nina will not be not believing men and women yes how noodle home Bona ID him will be a mani him their light is going to be coming out from right in front of them and from there right what that means is we have light coming from our hearts from our chests and we have lights coming out of our hands why is that important because your Iman and my Iman if it's sincere if my faith is sincere to Allah and my belief was strong it actually turns into light on Judgment Day and what that faith made me act in a certain way those actions that I took turn into light on Judgment Day the actions of my hand so you have two torches on Judgment Day the day of judgment is dark it's this long walk to Jinnah and you're going to need to get there some people are going to have exhaustive light their light is so stretched that the prophet sallallaahu my leaves alone would describe that it could go from one city to another is that big of a light other people have such weak light they still have it but it's so weak they can barely see the next step that they're taking so there are people with different capacities of light and they are now making their way and unless congratulating them because they at least have light as opposed to people who have no light they don't have any chance of getting to jemna they can't see a path and so Allah says bush legume william jonathan test even tactical and ha ha nadine Fe ha congratulations to all of you of gardens at the bottoms of which rivers are flowing it's right ahead of you keep walking keep going keep going but then in the next ayah Allah describes a group of people that also get up on judgement day and they notice they have no light and they're in the middle of the dark and they see far ahead and they see you know if you can imagine the scene there's complete pitch-black darkness and there's a group of people that seem to have some torches with them you don't even see them you just see some lights flickering so you realize I need to I better catch up with them because those lights are getting dimmer so these hypocrites wake up in this dark scene on Judgment Day and they try to run and catch up to the believers because they have no light of their own they wake up and they're in shock that they have nothing that can aid them say oh my a cool munafiq una well muna feel hot latina Amon on Verona noctus minoriko the day on which hypocritical men and women are going to say to those who believed wait for us hold on look back towards us we could get some of your light noctus minoriko if the bus literally means you know in old days you had these torches with fires on top and you can take your wood and you can kind of light up your own torch so they figure we can go borrow some of your light it won't take anything away from yours hold on a second help us out here and then a voice is heard pila it grr ah ah calm go back behind yourselves go turn back five Tommy Sonora find some light we're not gonna help a day of judgment the day of judgement is the day on which our mother doesn't care about our child the day on which you know father and son and brother and sister this is all these relationships that got to be him with us Bob all relationships are cut so who's going to care about who I just need to get to my agenda mind your own business I'm not even turning back go back and find some light yourself and the idea of going back actually is sarcasm also go back to this world because on Judgment Day you if you don't come on Judgment Day with light you can't get any the only way to gain that light was in this world faltamisu nura' so now they still try to catch up because they don't want to hear it right so they're still trying to catch up and as they get closer and closer to the believers vibhuti Bovina whom be sued in Lihue bomb a massive gigantic wall is dropped between them which happens to have a door and the door and charleville maybe some other time will talk about but unless has a massive giant wall is dropped between these two groups so even if they were going to try to catch up now they can't as the wall is dropped Allah says ball t know who fee he'll LACMA decide they can no longer see the hidden side of it that's got mercy and love and care in it while guajillo whom in Kabbalah he alive up and right behind it approaching them right approaching them is punishment so not only were they in the dark now there's a massive wall you got nowhere to go and when you look back there's punishment coming at you they're about to be crushed so these hypocrites may Allah not make us from them become desperate so they call out and they say LM Nichole Morocco didn't we used to be with you weren't we with you so they're asking for the people of the other side apparently the door cannot be open from the other side open up guys come on we used to be with you and so a desperate call is made this is important before we go any further this is actually the reason I chose these I odd for today's Kaaba this wording LM knock'em knock'em weren't me with you the idea is that these people on Judgment Day that are standing on the wrong side of the wall that are in desperate situation that have no light of themselves actually assumed that they belonged among the believing community they were very confident about that so much so that they're citing it even on Judgment Day we used to be among you we prayed with you we did business with you we were friends with you we were family with you your cousins with you we went to the same College University where we're all the same guys how are we separated today why is this separation happening today and from the other side this time now that they feel safe you know once the wall is dropped not only do these people get overly terrified that people on the other side feel far more secure so they're not in a rush anymore because now it's Co totally safe so now they take their time and actually answer them and say well here's why you're not with us today here's why you're not with us today you know the first thing the people or haven't told them was you have to go get some your some of your own light I'll tell me sooner and find some light on your own go back and get it apparently you don't have any light and then they're in shock we were you we used to be with you we should have had light just like you have light so now the people of Jannah are going to describe how these people who used to have light they used to have light they used to have faith how did they lose it how did they end up bankrupt on Judgment Day and this ayah is particularly profound because then it will give us an insight into how does someone lose their Iman how does someone end up taking the most priceless treasure that they can have in this life are our faith and end up squandering it and losing it there's a it doesn't happen overnight it doesn't just you don't just lose your Iman it's a process and that process has been described in these timeless words but uh of course you used to be with us well I can a competent oh man for circle however you put yourselves I'll do a rough translation first and I'll explain number one you put yourselves in fitna you put yourselves in trial fatahna in arabic actually means to put something to the test but Ana is also used when you when you test the purity of gold and you melt it and impurities come out like a gold doesn't go through an easy test it goes through a painful burning test the idea of patent Oman for second there are many lessons associated with it but for the purposes of this football I'll highlight one of them you kept putting yourselves in situations where your faith gets tested try to understand what that means you kept putting yourself in environments where you knew it was bad for you but you said no I can handle it I got this I got this you kept surrounding yourselves with friends that would do bad things say bad things see bad things go to bad places but you said I'm not like them I'm just trying to help them and you kept going back into those environments you kept getting into gatherings and places and situations you put you kept putting yourselves in those places assuming that it will not have any effect on you it'll affect everyone else and it won't it won't affect you you know the first step wasn't that these people just became disbelievers it was actually bad company they put themselves in questionable circumstances and they assume that it's not going to have an effect you know when you are you know I'll give you a silly example but it'll get the point across if people do a lot of cooking at home especially if you're a desi household you do a lot of cooking at home the home smells like a lot of masala but if you live there you don't smell it on somebody else walks in especially if an Arab walks into your house if you like they're in some contaminated zone it hits them really hard but a couple of hours later they lie odds it's just oxygen now you understand when you first put yourself in a bad environment you might feel it you might feel this isn't good this is this going to mess me up I don't think I should be here your heart will feel uncomfortable but if you keep putting yourself in that situation over and over and over and over again guess what it doesn't bother you anymore somebody who smells you no sense stands next to a smoker for the first time is coughing and their eyes are burning but if they start smoking themselves a year later that just becomes their oxygen they can't even breathe normally without smoking it changes them altogether the first problem was you put yourselves you surrounded yourselves in a bad environment potential unphysical what was the second problem the second problem was with a lab busting you kept procrastinating now what does that mean that means you realized it's bad and you also realized in your own conscience I should change what you told yourself I'll change pretty soon inshallah I'm going to change I know I have to change I know this is and just one more week and I'm going to be a different person man just this semester I got these messed up friends right now and I can't really make them upset so I'm gonna keep hanging out with them but next semester I'm totally doing a different schedule I'm not gonna be around these guys anymore but just let me just write out this semester just this one more month I'm doing this you know just this one more weekend just as one or two more party there's one or two more drinks that you keep telling yourself just a little bit more a little bit more a little bit more and then people tell my my favorite one Ramadan is right around the corner it's just 10 more months 11 more months you know once I go along come man I'll be totally different I plan to go to Hajj once I go to Hajj oh you watch I'm gonna be a different person but until then you know just kind of just make God for me Dada bust them you didn't want to make a change today right now you figured you assumed not only are you putting yourselves in a bad environment you're not ready to make a transformation right now it's too much for you to be asked you'd rather just stick it out you'd rather just enjoy a little bit more this is what thought of busting but you know what and you assumed by the way this this also has an assumption the first assumption was it doesn't affect you it doesn't have an impact on you but it does something really bad becomes normal to you over time you get desensitized what is the effect of terribles of holding off and holding off and holding off actually you assume that you can put the brakes on at any time and you can walk away from all of it whenever you want I'm not addicted I don't need this I'm not hooked on it I could just walk away whenever I feel like the truth of it is that's not the case the longer you stay the more addicted you become and the more impossible you feel you can't get it's impossible for you to get out of it you're completely immersed you're completely drowned and you don't even know what anymore what it is to be outside of this environment and then you start telling yourself it's too late for me and when that happens a guilt sets in the guilt sets in that I'm pretty messed up man I've been doing since I've been in this bad environment I should have made toboe a long time ago but it's too late for me and that bad nobody likes to feel bad nobody likes to feel guilty and then Shaitaan comes and says why do you feel guilty you don't have to feel guilty the only thing that's making you feel guilty is this Islam thing Islam says this is Haram and that's Haram and that's a sin and that's the same and you can't do this and you can't say that and you can't go there it keeps Islam keeps making you feel bad man I want you to feel good what how true is Islam anyway and now the thoughts start running in this person's mind a man or a woman why am I even following Islam it seems like it just wants me not to be happy I just want to live my life man I just want to be free I just want to be able to do what I want I just want to be able to hang out with my friends I'm not so sure about the Quran anyway how do we even know there is a God how do we even know what what's this hadith business how how how do we even know it's authentic and so you have this young man or woman this Zeinab this I lead is Fatima this Abdullah is getting these beautiful names and now they're starting to ask questions about I'm not so sure about this Islam I don't know I have doubts I have serious doubts and these are not PhDs in philosophy nor do they have exhaustive education and Islamic history where they studied it and they started developing doubts no no they were in a bad environment they didn't change themselves that is the process I've talked to hundreds of these people that literally live this ayah they live this ayah and then they get to a point where they have doubts but their doubts have nothing to do with logic or reason as a matter of fact when you answer one doubt they go to the next doubt when you answer that one they go to the next one when you answer that one you go to the next one then you say hold on a second so how long ago did you start ending up in questionable kinds of company and then the truth starts coming out what add up to them the very next words are you fell into doubt you started doubting you know what doubt will do it'll let you off the hook you'll be able to say to yourself well it's not really absolutely the truth anyway so I shouldn't feel bad that I don't follow it I shouldn't feel bad and now once those doubts settle in and you hide behind those doubts and continue to justify your life of procrastination and putting yourself in fitnah once you get to that point then two things are taken away from you the desire for Genma is taken away the desire for making allah happiest in a way the desire to have that light that will make you run and get to that destination you don't even have that in this world the person who desires to see that success with Allah Allah will give them that in this world but that desire is gone now you have doubts about it and the fear of Hell is gone those are those two things are gone your fears are gone and your your hopes and aspirations and Allah and the ocula are gone the afterlife is nothing to you the afterlife means nothing if somebody even brings up heaven in Hell to joke to you well if you take away have it in hell if you take away the motivation to end up in the reward of Allah or get away from the punishment of Allah on Judgment Day well the only motivation you're going to have left are things that are left in this world isn't it you have nothing left in the next life so the only thing to look forward to our stuff that's left in this life and this life will be money it'll be fame it'll be leisure it'll be pleasure you know it'll be material things that's all you ever think about that's all you ever care about that's all you ever want to know about that's the only thing that ever interests you that's the only thing you make efforts towards because you think all of these things are going to bring you happiness they'll bring you contentment so the next words are well haru-kun will Emani you false hopes deceived you you had false hopes that some kind of worldly thing will bring you happiness and you ran after it you gave all of your life to it and you would think that this will bring you what you're looking for and you get to it like people wanting to see you know people nowadays obsessed with the next movie that comes out the next toy the next device that comes out right lines for the new Star Wars longer than passports for Hajj you know why because you need to go see it if with if you don't see it how does your life have any purpose how you know your life means nothing if you didn't see it opening night you know and so you have to see and by the way hoping that this will bring you some kind of fulfillment that you haven't found anywhere else and people walk out of and say that was pretty awesome and then they're bored again like what do I do now maybe I could go see it again and then go see it again it like-- melodic says exciting the first time but uh so pretty cool you keep looking for something more to fulfill you and fulfill you because the thing that will completely fulfill you the pleasure of Allah there's no longer there that desire is no longer there well garlic cumin mi nieta I'm rola until the decision of Allah came this was your life this according to the believers is a summary of a person's life that lost their faith they started just with putting themselves in a questionable environment and from there it's a downward spiral automatically the next thing is you start getting hooked on it you put off and then later on you start developing doubts and from there the only thing you ever work towards is where the lustful material gain material desires Valhalla come Bella Haru and then Allah says the one the ultimate the ultimate deceiver Lord is mobile aha the incredible deceiver was successful in deceiving you this is what the believers say to this the Munaf you put on the other side of the wall this is an incredible scene folks they're standing by this wall in shock why aren't we on the other side and now they're being reminded by their fellow believers on the other side well remember that you did this this this and this and this is a gift of Allah to you and to me it's a gift of Allah that this you know hideous scene has been painted on Judgment Day because I would rather know now than then I'd rather not stand there and then find out shocked why am I on the wrong side of this wall why am I not on the other side how come I don't have any light how come I lost this thing that Allah had given me every one of you sitting here every believer has light inside their heart Allah has granted it to us the problem is whether or not you and I want to hold on to it or not so you and I have to identify where we are maybe were the people that just started putting ourselves in a fitness situation maybe we just started getting ourselves caught up in the wrong thing or maybe we've been caught up for a while and we've been putting off letting it go maybe that's happened maybe we even even gone further down the road and now we've started developing doubts maybe that's how far we've gone maybe we've gone way down LaRocco allamani you ha ha ha now we're all we live for is you know toys and pleasures that's all we live for now is entertainment that's that's what we've become and so at the end of it all nothing you earn nothing I earn is worth anything on Judgment Day except that light this is why when this passage began a lot as I would have described it with light and that light is the only thing that matters on Judgment Day a lemon you know lemon at Arapahoe vehicle bin salim the one who comes before allah with a sound heart the heart that can beam light in front of them anything else that you and I have that we have now is worthless it's completely worthless before Allah on Judgment Day you can enjoy it for now but if you get caught up in it and it takes up the space in your heart then you have no room left for light in your heart you just don't have room left which is why the last ayah of this passage is fellow Malay codomain confetti atone while I mean alladhina katha who welcome would not oh here malakoma be sannyasi and today there's not going to be any compensation and he ran some acceptable from you don't try to pawn it for anything else there is no access into those doors there's no getting through this door with any kind of penalty or payment you can't get through not from you and not from those who disbelieved the scary part of this ayah islam income vidya well I mean Elodie naka for who you are now in the same position as those who disbelieve you ended up being in the same position as those who disbelieved I'm not going to take any ransom from you and I'm not going to take any ransom from them all of you your place is fire well be some we'll see it was a terrible place to be that is and so at the end of it all after painting the scene Allah concludes and I'll conclude with this ayah as well how is it that we can continue to preserve our light and continue to remind ourselves not to put ourselves in that downward spiral and whatever little light we have how can we make it stronger and stronger and stronger allah azza wajal himself says and i'll in latina amanu and Daksha al Ghul Ubu hamdulillah isn't it yet time that P believers hearts should become their hearts should become filled with all with the remembrance of Allah truly remembering Allah will bring all into the hearts and the more your hearts remember Allah because Allah Himself is nuru Sumati well out Allah is the light of the skies and the earth the moral eyes in your heart the more light is inside your heart you understand so he says remember Allah and then he says how do you remember Allah this is called a Vienna in Arabic huama and as a lemonade Huck and they should be filled with awe because of what came down from the truth because of the revelation because of the Quran ponder over the Quran remember Allah through the Quran weep when you recite the ayat of Quran think about what they mean to you the gift that Allah has given you because not only is a lot of light of the skies and the earth the Quran itself is also described as light in the Quran phenomenal villa he wore a thule he went noon and Levien's anna believed in Allah and His Messenger and the light that we sent down Quran itself is called light Quran itself is called light and so we the the amount of time you spend with the Book of Allah personal for your own personal benefit for your own personal benefit when you sit and recite it and ponder over it and you think about what a lawyer Master is saying to you that is going to fill your heart with light and there's no more you know greater a treasure in your life than that light and you won't realize the price of it I won't realize the price of it until we stand on that day when everything around us is dark and the only light is the light coming out of my chest and the only light coming out of my hands that's one will realize well I aku no can latina/o tell Kattabomman abu khatallah allah Himmel ahmad focus at KU Leuven work a human home fasciae point they shouldn't become like people who came a long time before them who were given the book a long time before them and a long period passed and their hearts became hard they were they had the book but they didn't value it it's possible Allah says that a nation will have a book they will have the Book of Allah there were nations before us who had a book - they had to rot they had in gene they have suffered Abraham and Musa they had but they didn't benefit from them let me interfere omen huh they didn't benefit from those books they didn't use those books to fill their hearts with light maybe they use those books for the wrong reasons maybe they reduce those books so just ceremonial occasions they just enjoyed reciting it some time every once in a while you know that's all it became to them or maybe at some wedding gathering they can play some Quran and that's all Quran became but Quran was not there too soft in their hearts anymore and this is the tragedy of history people did not benefit from the word of Allah that came to soft and hearts preparing humanity for standing before a law and Judgment Day that's our responsibility now that's on you and that's on me this is why I aku nuke La Vina atoll Ketuvim in Kabul FAP Allah Allah he Muhammad kisaku Nouveau home so their hearts became hard their hearts became hard when the heart becomes hard there's no light inside left it's not going to give you anything not judgment what Cathedral men home Vasya cool most of them are corrupt many of them are corrupt Allah Azza WA JAL is now in the in these few ayat painting one of the most important realities depicting one of the most important realities in the life of a believer the Iman you and I have is not something we can hold onto this light that we have been given is not something that's guaranteed it's not just because you have it now and you feel secure if somebody says Salam to you means you're Muslim you say wa allakum assalaam or Haleiwa ricotta they're both Muslims they're believers to each other we assume that we all have the light of faith inside our hearts but according to these ayat some people will stand up on Judgment Day and be shocked I thought I was with you and you're not so we better realize that it's not automatic it's not guaranteed it's something you personally will have to make efforts for I personally will have to make efforts for and your iman will not help me and my iman will not help you on Judgment Day we're all going to be caring about ourselves our own light in 0rr conferred on me so Nora go back find your own light that's in right now we can cooperate with each other right now we can strengthen each other's iman but on that day there's not going to be any help may allah azzawajal make us of those who preserve the light in our hearts may allah azzawajal make us of those who are not on the wrong side of that wall protect us and our families and our loved ones from Nick Nevada may Allah keep our hearts from becoming hard and may allah azza wajal makers of those who continually internalize the word of allah allowing our hearts to softened and to be filled with light barakallahu li walakum fill Quran in Hakim when I finally become Billy
