alhamd continue with the subject of tawa
as part of the course of Islamic
education the second one and the tawa of
Allah the fear of Allah to be
dufulin and this is the the of the first
and the last and we talked about the
importance of it but now what are the
different levels of or of what are the
levels of tawa and this is something
that Allah subhana T mentioned in the
Quran with regards to uh the people of
faith in general where Allah subhana T
said that
in and then after that Allah subhana
talked about them that they are from the
people of Jenna so the three levels the
first one as mentioned in the verse
is someone that wronged himself what is
that mean someone that is upon theed the
Oneness of worship of Allah subhana tala
he's a Muslim he has the matters of
belief pillars of IM pillars of Islam is
established and but he wronged himself
with
sins uh not fulfilling the obligations
in the proper way falling into some sins
and he dies in that state he does not
repent to Allah subhana wa ta'ala so an
individual like that died in the state
of Al Islam as we know the proper belief
is either Allah subh will forgive them
or Allah subhana T will punish them and
then eventually they will enter the
Jenna of Allah subhana tala but there's
still considered to be within the umah
within the people of Jenna eventually
even if they're punished but we have to
be careful it doesn't mean that we
belittle the sins and people would say
Allah subhana T will forgive me and
things of that nature because you never
know who would guarantee that he would
die in the state of Islam sins can lead
the person to to be in the state of
disbelief and the same thing as the
prophet warned against that sin which is
belittling the
sin be warned against these sins that
you would look down upon that you would
belittle why is
that they get together Upon A man till
they destroy him why because he's not
aware of it it's one small one after the
other till he is destroyed so this is
the first category which is
[Music]
the second one
is which is mentioned in the verse is
the one that has the of seeking the
pleasure of Allah shielding himself from
the punishment of Allah subhana wa taala
but he's not in haste or competing with
matters of goodness he fulfilled the
obligations and he stay away from the
Haram he fulfilled the obligations and
he stay away from the Haram and of
course if someone is like this he's from
of course when someone is making sure
that he fulfill the obligations in the
most perfect way and he stays away from
Haram the highest level which
is the one that is surpassing everyone
with matters of goodness so he's doing
the obligations staying away from the
Haram and doing the option acts of
worship the recommended acts of worship
and uh working on oneself in such a
diligent way and of course that highest
level doesn't mean that he does not fall
into sins because this is how human
beings are as the prophet he
said the every son of Adam is is bound
to make
sins the best of the Sinners are those
who repent to Allah subhana tala so uh
these levels are important also from the
perspective of the the matters of belief
so that the person doesn't fall into the
extremity of calling people or Believers
disbelievers and the like of this uh
when we talk about ta often times in the
book of Allah and in the the prophet it
talks about the characteristics of the
people of tawa so we are human beings
we're all about our characteristics this
is what really matters it's not by how
one's look or one's lineage or what
color of one's skin but rather one's
actions so what are the actions what are
the descriptions what are the
characteristics of the people of tawa
according to the Quran and the Sunnah of
the
Prophet one of the things to be really
very clear in this matter is to be
always truthful in one's speech and
actions and we'll talk about
truthfulness and this is something that
Allah praised the people of ta with he
said regardless
of or who it refers to initially but
this is for every believer those who
come with the truth and they believe in
it you know so the
prophet the Companions of the
Prophet so they believe in the truth and
they're always truthful in their speech
and actions one of the very important
thing that we should make sure that it
doesn't leave our hearts the exalting
the dean of Allah exalting the matters
of matters of obedience to Allah
exalting the of Allah the rituals of
matters of as Allah subhana says
that is for the ones that exalt the
rituals of Allah subhana tala the
matters of and the like of this this is
from the tawa of the heart because the
tawa is in the heart so to make the is
to exalt it's already exalted but some
people they belittle things so we need
to make sure that we exalt what Allah
subhana T exalted and we belittle what
Allah subhana T belittles and this is
basically how the Believers are they're
always following the pleasure of Allah
subhana tala alone also one of these
characteristics that is mentioned in the
Quran there are people that are upon
Justice when they rule when they're upon
something they don't go beyond Justice
Beyond Justice means that a person
becomes injust and they don't get
together a person of TAA and be even
though we mentioned that as one of the
levels of TAA but it's a sinful one that
can make the person be negated away from
being among the people of tawa as Allah
subhana tala says in
do not let the enmity of some people
make you not to be just and this is how
human beings they would tend to fall
into this Allah
says to be just even if it's against
your enemies even when you when you deal
with your enemy you deal with them with
Justice not with Injustice and this is
what is closest to a tawa to be among
the people of a TAA and Allah knows
what's in the heart and that's why Allah
subhana
says fear Allah be youthful to Allah
indeed Allah subhana T is well
acquainted of what you do one of their
characteristics is to they follow the
ways of The Messengers of Allah and the
righteous ones and they make sure that
they are diligently in the path of the
Sunnah following the way of the
Prophet as Allah says
you who believe fear Allah be truthful
to Allah and be always with the truthful
once so to be with them even if they had
passed away you are with them following
the path that they walked upon and we
always ask Allah to be
upon how to
attain always when it comes to anything
that we need to uh be upon the most and
the most effective matter to be upon is
to ask Allah subhana t for it especially
with the Deeds Done by the heart we
don't own this heart we cannot really
establish things in our hearts by making
a decision and therefore we need the
help from Allah so therefore one of the
most important and most effective way to
be among the people of ta is to ask
Allah subh sincerely for it as one of
the Dua of the prophet
that oh Allah give myself its tawa let
me be upon the people of tawa and the
fear of Allah and the truthful ones to
Allah subhana tala and purify myself
because you're the best to purify
oneself and then the actions to purify
our hearts to rectify our hearts and
that is to have the proper intentions of
things to always have as we talked about
sincerity of intentions and also to work
on physically perfecting oneself by
following the Sunnah of the
Prophet as you know some people they say
that what what appears from the people
it's not that important as long as
what's in the heart and they are liars
meaning they're wrong because if they
know the dean of Allah subhana T there's
no such a thing rather to fix what's in
the heart and to fix also our actions
and our physical appearance to make it
all according to the way of the prophet
and if the prophet he
said if I'm the most among you that have
the TA of Allah and we have been
commanded by Allah subhana tala to
follow the way of the
Prophet so we follow him in his speech
and his actions and his appearance in
every matter and one of which of course
the foundation of the dean which is the
Deeds Done by the heart and one of which
is the TAA of Allah subhana tala uh like
everything else uh things doesn't happen
overnight we have to be patient we have
to uh make ourselves held accountable
for actions we should not leave
ourselves without making sure that we do
the right thing right so a person is
being patient to attain matters of TAA
with knowledge if he slips away he
brings himself back he repents to Allah
subhana tala ask Allah subh for help and
so on and one of the means to attain
this is by getting to know with
knowledge the outcome of a TAA the end
of things the consequences of a tawa the
fruits of it which is basically all
matters of goodness you know as the
prophet when he commanded someone by
saying be upon the fear of Allah the
youthfulness of
Allah it's the comprehensiveness of
every matter of goodness is by this word
of being among the people
of the head of all things and of course
the most important of all is to enter
the Jenna of Allah subhana tala and to
be saved from
the this is the Jenna that we make those
who have tawa inherited the people of
tawa are the ones that would enter the
Jenna of Allah subhana wa taala and uh
you know this is the those who receive
the mercy of Allah subhana wa tala in
the day of judgment Allah subhana T
created 100 pieces or 100 parts of Mery
mercy and with one part of this Mercy is
what people see in this life in this
worldly life how people they have mercy
towards one another towards their
offsprings to the extent of which is
that the Beast would have mercy towards
its offsprings and the like of this but
then when it's in the day of judgment
Allah subhana tala will keep the 99 part
of it for the people of tawa for the
Believers so this is a great honor for
those who have the TAA of Allah subhana
wa tala it's sufficient for the
Believers to
hear the most honored among you to Allah
subhana tala are the most among you
upon so this is a
competition and can a person in this
time of age at any time be the first is
it equal opportunity for each and
everyone of course yes the answer is yes
it does not make a difference whether a
person is black or white or physically
strong or physically weak or have legs
or doesn't have legs it doesn't matter
because the place of the tawa is in the
hearts and if the person's heart is
upon then with the sincerity of
intentions that takes a person far ahead
of everyone else so and Allah knows
what's in art happiness in this life and
Hereafter as we talked about the verses
that talks
about the guidance to the truth
especially at times of fan tribulations
and as we talked about the definition of
a tawa it was given at times of fan time
time of tribulation when a person might
lose his religion be deviated from the
truth so what saves them by the will of
Allah subhana is the TA of
Allah or you who believe if you have the
TA of Allah if you fear Allah if you're
truthful to Allah Allah subhana will
give you a criteria in which you will be
able to differentiate to be able to see
between the truth and falsehood and he
would expiate your sins and many people
are confused when it comes to many
different things in the life we need two
things we need the the knowledge of the
Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet and
we need to have the TA so that Allah
subh will save us from what's harmful
the abundance of matters of
Provisions
whoever in the present tense that means
it's a continuous act whoever fears
Allah youthful to Allah subhana tala
Allah T will make ways out for them
making matters easy the Baraka the
blessings as it's mentioned in the Quran
uh being protected being Victorious you
know the outcome the end of all things
is for the people of TAA whoever leaves
something for the sake of Allah Allah
subhana tala will replace it by
something better shielding oneself from
the punishment of Allah subhana wa tala
all of that and more benefits of tawa
that really it is sufficient that would
make us completely change our life to
continuously be among the people of ta
we ask Allah T to make us among the
people of till we depart from this
life
