They Forgot Themselves - Because They Forgot Allah (swt)

did you not hear the word of allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in the quran nestled maha nestled la nestle offense mmm foursome Sam for Sam whom they forgot Allah they neglected Allah so then Allah made them forget who they are whoa awkward are you listening to this verse carefully Allah is speaking about those who forgot who neglected Allah their Creator and turned to other things as been their objective turn to other things as being the most important thing for them turn to other things which they should strive for and reach instead of Allah Allah says they forgot

Allah by being distracted by other things other than Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala until what Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala made them forget who they even are made them forget their own identity made them forget who you are and what is your purpose where are you heading me they forgot Allah sir then Allah made them forget themselves this is something natural this is something normal to occur this is the effect of that the cause is that we chose to forget Allah those two Allah other B leathers people have forgot so the result of that naturally equals a

person forgetting who they even are when you forget who you are your heart becomes hardened your heart becomes darkened and when our hearts become darkened we become unhappy when we become unhappy we want to be happy so when we meet people what do we do we act we act we put on a show we become into a state of react a form of hypocrisy will they ever be left because a person wants to find happiness and they can't and so they look for other things to bring them happiness and the first thing they look for

is worldly things that can bring them this happiness and dissatisfaction otherwise they feel that they have no value whatsoever and this cannot be achieved except with hypocrisy and there is no truth to it these types of people lead on what else they start to lose their sight their hearing they start to lose themselves by going on to intoxication and a lot of them who we hear about such as celebrities and the likes of them whom we on television we think that they are living the life but what happens to them suddenly we hear about them

committing suicide we hear about them dying of drugs of alcohol we find them hiding all night until they died they party to death these types of people we think they are living the life and then we start to imitate them thinking that this is where happiness comes from or what actually happened here - these people Muslim or non-muslim they have forgotten themselves my brothers and sisters in Islam majority of people forget who they are I'll give you an example a person says I am a Christian I am a Jew I am a Hindu whatever they

say they are if you ask them the question why are you of that particular religion the common response is this or because my parents come I was brought up that way do you think this person knows who they really are if I say to you I am a Muslim because my parents are Muslim do I know who I am do I know why I'm a Muslim do I know what I'm meant to be doing do I believe in what I am doing or am i doing it to please my parents now or am i doing

it to please my culture or my people that are looking at me or the members in the Masjid who see me going there am i doing it to just put on a show to my family the first sign of this hypocrisy is that when I'm alone I have a different identity when I am alone i watch things which I don't watch in the day when I am alone I listen to things people don't know that I listen to when I am alone I am happy that no one is watching me because the first thing I

want to do is to resort to the things which Allah hates [Music] this is one of the other songs of a person who does not know who they are or they think they are something but they are not putting on the show so when you ask a person why are you a Muslim I wonder how many people can give a proper listen to what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said here is just an example of how a person knows who they are he says man tarakanov rotten in area water hole of a water holla holla

with a mini mania did her frequently who ever for example abandons looking at something which is forbidden Allah will expiate that or will compensate that with a sweetness of the feeling of Eman which they find it inside of their heart the point of that hadith which I wanted to allude to is not the fact that a person stopped looking at her honor this is only one thing what I'm trying to say is when a person stops any act which Allah subhana WA Ta'ala hates it means that that person is only wanting the pleasure of allah

subhana wa ta'ala in how they use their eyes for example or how they use their body how they use their time and as a result the genuine one this the genuine the sign of you being genuine in that meaning that Allah is your objective by abstaining from this by controlling yourself the sign of this genuine love for Allah making him your priority is that you will find a feeling of sweetness inside of your heart this sweetness will lie if you give this person everything in the world if you give them everything that any human desire

would want it will not make a difference in their sweetness that they feel inside them [Music] [Applause] Abbadon la luna feet but the la luna fate but the lantern for funny money kuna da boom boom boom [Music]
