 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers. Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, is a very peaceful and very much-loving person. And after that, my brothers and sisters, we are talking about the ayat of Allah SWT where he said, يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ Allah said, which means, O you who believe, have taqwa of Allah SWT as it is His right. And do not die except in a state of Islam. We looked at the first part of the ayah. Today we look at the second part of the ayah where Allah said, لَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ Do not die except in a state of Islam. A state of Islam means a state of submission to Allah SWT. Submission to Allah means submission to everything which Allah SWT commanded. As I remind myself and you again and again, our problem is not that we disbelieve in everything. Our problem is worse than that. Our problem is that we don't believe in everything. Our problem is that we don't believe in everything. Our problem is that we selectively obey. And Allah SWT mentioned that very clearly in the Quran, where He said, أَفَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْدِ الْكِتَابِ وَتَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْدِ Do you believe in some things of the book? You take some things of the book? You obey some commands? And you leave the rest? فَمَنْ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا خِذْيٌّ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَرَضُّونَ إِلَىٰ أَشَدِّ أَذَابٍ وَمَنْ اللَّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ Allah SWT said that what is the reward? فَمَا جَزَاهُ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكُ What is the jaza? What is the reward? And Allah SWT is using the word reward in a sarcastic way. Whereas where He means punishment. جَزَا سَمَانِ جَزَا نِجَزَا جَزَا كَمَنِ صَزَا هَيَا And Allah says what is the reward for those of you who do this? Accept hardship and suffering and problems and humiliation in this life. خِزْيُنْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا This is the beauty of the Kamal of the Arabic language. One single word. خِزْيُنْ خِزْيُنْ خِزْيُنْ It has every bad thing in it. It has disease, it has accidents, it has problems, it has conflicts, it has suffering, it has poverty. You name it. خِزْيُنْ خِزْيُنْ Hard. Your life will become extremely difficult. فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا And it doesn't end with that. وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُوَضُّونَ إِلَىٰ أَشَدِّ أَذَابٍ And on the Day of Judgment you will be turned towards the worst of punishments. You might ask this question, at least I am doing something. Somebody else is completely rejecting. He is not even a Muslim. He has not even said, لا إله إلا الله At least I am doing something. At least I am coming to Furaishalatul Fajr. At least I am giving some Zakat. At least I am doing Qurbani in Eidul Adha. And so on. The issue there is not at least. The issue there is the arrogance. Is the Takabbur of the slave. The Takabbur of somebody who has no Hasyat except what Allah has given him. What right do you and I have to be arrogant? When Allah SWT reminded us. And Allah said, وَلَا حَلْ أَتَعْ عَلَىٰ الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءً مَّذْكُورًا As the human being forgotten the time when he had no mention. There was no mention of him. He was not a thing mentioned. What right do you have to be arrogant? On what basis are you arrogant? And we are arrogant. So don't expect me to say. Ya Allah you may have given me three commands. But I will obey only one. The other two commands I don't like. I will not do. This is exactly what Iblis did. Exactly. This is exactly what Shaytan did. Shaytan did not deny Allah SWT. Shaytan did not say you are not my Rabbi. You are not my Khalikh. No, no, no. He did not deny Allah SWT. He did not deny making Sajidah to Allah. Allah, he did not say, I will not make sajdah to you. He said, I will not do this command. I will not make sajdah to Adam because in my understanding, this is wrong. So what is he doing? He is taking his will, his understanding, his whatever and imposing it on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Yaab meru kaisa bolte? Aapki baad ghalat hai. Laaha wa laakho ta'ala. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying, you do this shaitaniyat...
