Kind: captions Language: en [Music] AC [Music] continuing with the subject of the ISL Creed level two and talked about the Oneness of worship of Allah subhana waala now we need to talk about the worship itself what does it mean what are the different types of the what the conditions for it and more in the subject of since that word has been explained in the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet and has been understood perfectly by the early generations of Al Islam so it shouldn't be left to what people would interpret it linguistically or according to their cultures and so on because the word in the language means The Obedience with humbleness with devotion with humility but Al when it comes to the definition according to the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet is the submission the Devotion to Allah subhah wa ta'ala seeking the pleasure of Allah subhana seeking the closeness to Allah subhana wa tala with what Allah subhana tala command us to do do with the love of Allah and exalting Allah subhana tala or as one of the most comprehensive definition ofl he said very comprehensive definition it's a very comprehensive word the word and we should keep it as because the word worship has its own understanding in other cultures but rather it's it's a very comprehensive word that includes everything that Allah subhana tala loves and pleased with whether it's speech or actions whether it's inwardly or outwardly that means everything encompasses everything in the life of the human being and that is the to Allah subhana tala it's the objectives of one's life and therefore we have to know the from the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet we have not been created except to establish this so that's why the the of worship of Allah subh it's something that is continuous it's something that is includes everything in our life and when these Heretics those who interpret the verse in the Quran worship your lord till certainty reaches you here refers to death but they were interpret it as certainty once you reach a certain a stage of certainty then you don't have to do acts of worship worship of Allah this is for the nomads for the Layman but not for those who are this is an evil thing this is disbelieving in Allah subhana wa ta'ala if someone believes such a thing and this also shows when we understand the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet is that according to our own interpretations taken a verse out of context uh calling basically that the Quran is contradicting one verse would mean one thing one verse means another thing Quran has no contradictions in it whatsoever and what explains this is the sunah of the Prophet the understanding of the which is stated in the Quran that this is obligatory upon us to understand the dean the way they understood it and what is in the life of the Prophet Alat he worshiped Allah subhana till the last moment of his life when he was dying and he would command the people to pour water on him to establish the you say the prayer the prayer is a time for the Salah and he would command the people to make the Sal at all times soal andam all of that is entire life of the human beings is upon that so and the worship of Allah subhana wa tala to the prophet and to the of the Prophet this is what is obligatory upon them and Allah subhana T warned us from being arrogantly turning away from the ab of Allah that means and your Lord says which means invoke me make Dua to me I will respond to you and then he said those who arrogantly turns away from my they will enter J and as you see here by the verse of the Quran because it says make Dua to me to Allah subhana tala and then it says those who have arrogance away from my did not say arrogance away from my Dua but my which shows that Dua is so Allah subhana warned us from arrogantly turning away from the worship of Allah subhana tala or worship of Allah subhana tala is what the angels are upon they never bored from worshiping Allah subhah wa tala that they in state of worship of Allah they do not arrogantly turn away from the worship of Allah and they never bored from the worship of Allah subhah wa tala so the slaves of Allah the worshippers of Allah subhana wa tala and the highest level that a person human being can reach is to be to Allah is to have that the the servitude to Allah subhana tala the perfect way that's why Isa the son of Mary if those who want to praise him then they should praise him by the fact that he was a Ab to Allah that he was a slave of Allah and a messenger of Allah but if they would claim Divinity to him they are basically as if they are cursing him so why because Allah subhana wa TAA made the human beings for them to reach the highest level of goodness is to be slaves of Allah and as the prophet as Allah said about Isam in who he is nothing but slave of Allah we bestowed our favor upon him and when he said subhana about the prophet Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam the best of all Messengers he described them with this perfect and the best way of describing a human being and that is to be to Allah to be a slave of Allah to be in that state of worship of Allah subh alone as Allah says in the context of praising the prophet that glory be to Allah subhana tala the one that took his Muhammad s in the night of praise be to Allah subhana tala the one that brought down upon his slave Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam the book of Allah so this is the highest level of goodness that a person can attain and that's why when we look and when the looked into the different categories of there is a universal which is everyone is in state of humbleness and humility to Allah subhana tala everyone is like this no one can escape from that we are created from nothing no one took us or took our permission before we were created and also when we depart from this life no one will take our permission everybody returns to Allah subhana everything in the heaven and the Earth would return to Allah subhana tala that are in state of being slaves of Allah whether it's a Believer or a disbeliever but this is not the that a person is praised as a result of this is every creation of Allah subhana tala is in that state Allah subhana tala is the owner of all things but then the second type which is what this whole life is about is the religious ones one the one that we get to know from the Revelation from Allah subhana wa tala which is the willingness to to devote oneself to the commands of Allah to worship none but Allah subhana tala alone so this is specific for those who are obedient to Allah the Believers as Allah subh says of the most merciful subhah wa tala so the first type which is every creation of Allah is upon this is no choice for anyone whatsoever so a person is not praiseworthy as a result of that because everybody's upon that even the disbelievers the second type is the one that a person is praised as a result of which is the choice for the person to worship none but Allah subhana wa tala alone so this is something with regards to the meaning of as you see it is not as people say worship worship means rituals so just rituals as long as you're making Salah you're making other than that just live your life according to what you desire this is not the case and that's something that many of the Muslims today they imitated the ways of the disbelievers in which they would make their religion some as some rituals that they do and then the rest of the lives has nothing to do with the religion and they would even say that this is religion this is not religion everything is religion everything comes under the meaning of the to Allah and there are texts there are things in the from Allah when it comes to acts of worship meaning the rituals part and there is the means of halal andam and transactions and things of that nature relationships and it's all part of the command of Allah that a person do it for the sake of Allah subhana tala alone according to what Allah subhana tala wants from us so that makes us to have the proper understanding of the the comprehensiveness of it that we basically our life is based on what's obligatory actions versus what's Haram to stay away from it versus what is makr and disliked versus what is recommended to be and the the permissible matters all of that is by the commands of Allah in the Quran and in the Sunnah of the Prophet we'll stop here in next time we'll continue with the pillars of [Music] for [Music] AC [Music]
