 Auto-generated transcript:I want to draw your attention to this word as the highest form of honouring Rasulullah. Because he said in Surah Al-Isra' Surah Al-Isra' If you take this ayah, Allah said, His Abdihi, His Abdi. Now there is no, even though, as I said yesterday, if Allah had said, The meaning is conveyed, he is the Rasul. Allah did not say that. Allah said, His Abdihi. So when Allah SWT is using a form of address, it means that this is the highest level of honour. So being the Abdi of Allah, being called Abdi, my slave, being called this, being given this title by Allah SWT, is the highest level of honour that any creature can get. And this was given to Rasulullah SAW. So what's the difference? Our problem today is that, Alhamdulillah, may Allah have mercy on us, we don't completely rebel. Against Allah SWT. We are not atheists. We don't say there is no God. What we do, is something which is, actually even more serious. I might say what is more serious than being atheist, but I'll tell you the problem with Dalail. I never express my opinions. It's a question of what is Dalil in the Quran, and the Sunnah. What we do is, what I call selective obedience. So we have this whole Deen of ours, Alhamdulillah, it covers every aspect of our lives. This is the beauty of Islam. Islam has not left anything uncovered or left to do whatever you like. Anything in life. From our birth to our death, every single thing is covered in Islam. At any stage in your life, at any question that we have, we ask ourselves the question and say, what should I do according to the Quran and Sunnah? There is an answer. But what we do is, from this, what are we supposed to do? First of all, Allah SWT told us very clearly, two things to understand. First of all, any ayat of the Quran which begins like this, is a hukum. This is an amr of Allah. There is no, no scope for saying, okay, fine, let me think about it. No. Amr of Allah. Ya ayyuha alladheena amanu is a hukum of Allah SWT. Second thing is, Allah is addressing the people of Iman and He is calling them the people of Iman. Ya ayyuha alladheena amanu, all you who believe. Right? Udkhulu fi silmi kafatan. Wa la tattabihi khutuati shaitan, innahu lakum adhum mubeen. Right? Allah said, O you who believe, enter into Islam completely. Enter into Islam totally. Udkhulu fi silmi kafatan. Now this is a simple question. I am a believer. Allah Himself is calling me a believer. Then what's the meaning of entering into Islam? I mean, according to me, I have entered into Islam. That's why I am a believer. If I had not entered into Islam, how am I a believer? You are saying I am a believer, which means what? I am in Islam. No. Allah is saying no. Completely. Completely. In another place in the Qur'an, Allah SWT said, Allah said, they have said, La ilaha illallah, but Iman has not entered their hearts. What must they do? He said, obey Allah, obey Rasulullah, he said, salam, he said, salam. So there is a difference between the two. The two, the two, the two, the two, the two. the two, the two, the two, the two, the two, the two. the two, the two, the two, the two, the two. The two, the two, the two, the two, the two, the two, the two. The two, So the point is that Allah is saying this is not sufficient. Enter into Islam fully. Our problem is, we want to enter Islam as per our convenience. So, it is convenient for me to pray. I will pray. Salatul Fajr, too difficult to go to the masjid. Right? Get up and get out of the house and this and that. Forget it. I will pray Fajr at home. Zohar, masjid is next to my office. Okay, I will pray Zohar in the masjid. Asar also, before I go home, I will pray. So, convenience. I want to buy a car. I have an option. I can buy a second-hand car. Good condition second-hand car. I have the money. No. I want to buy a fancy car. I want to take it straight from the showroom. New car. Do you have the money? No. So, what will you do? You take a loan on it. Interest. You take a loan on interest. You are buying NBT with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. I can live in a rented house. I can accumulate some funds and then buy a house. May not be a big house, but enough for myself. No. I must have a big house. I don't have the money. What do I do? Go to the bank. I am doing some business. Then somebody will come. Do this also. Why don't you keep some? In America, the latest one is jelly beans with marijuana. It is haram. No, in the US it is legal. Being legal. Being legal. And being halal. They should be the same. But they are not. It is legal to live without marrying a man and woman. It is legal to live together. To have children. It is legal. It's not illegal. You won't go to jail. Is it halal? It is there. It is there. It is there. It is there. To live in that state is go for. And I tell people, you don't like what I say, don't listen. Go away. I don't make the rules. You have a problem, go talk to Allah SWT about it. We want to be members of this Islamic organization, that ...
