WEBVTT 00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:03.669 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.669 --> 00:00:08.560 Milestones on the road to stability 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:14.000 Those who fell on the road 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.820 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:24.699 I pray and greet the Messenger as a mercy to the worlds 00:00:24.699 --> 00:00:30.980 And upon his family, companions, and those who follow them in good deeds until the Day of Judgment 00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:32.679 As for after 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.780 God created creation for testing and testing 00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:38.939 God Almighty said 00:00:38.939 --> 00:00:47.020 So bless the one in whose hand is the dominion, and He has power over all things 00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:54.520 Who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deed 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.820 He is the Mighty, the Forgiving 00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:01.530 Then he sent messengers to them 00:01:01.689 --> 00:01:05.370 Some of them believed and some of them disbelieved 00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:10.209 God refuses to test those who proclaim their faith 00:01:10.209 --> 00:01:12.209 And God Almighty said 00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:21.540 People think that they will be left without saying, “We believe,” and they will not be tried 00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:26.500 And those before them were tempted 00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:35.079 So let God know those who are truthful and let Him know those who are liars 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.079 So distinguish the bad from the good 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.079 As God Almighty said 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:46.680 God would not leave the believers in the state you are in 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.299 To distinguish the bad from the good 00:01:51.299 --> 00:01:55.099 Those who remained steadfast remained steadfast, thanks to God’s grace and mercy 00:01:55.099 --> 00:01:58.099 Then with their solid foundation 00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:02.099 And the fallen fell because God abandoned them 00:02:02.099 --> 00:02:06.700 They were on the brink of Ravnahar, and he collapsed on them 00:02:06.700 --> 00:02:08.740 God Almighty said 00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:17.740 If they had done what they preach, it would have been better for them and more steadfast 00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:24.740 And if We had given them from Us a great reward 00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:30.740 And We will guide them to a straight path 00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:36.960 God has set an example for those who stand firm and those who fall on the path 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.020 And he said 00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:53.020 Have you not seen how God gives an example of a good word like a good tree? 00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:59.020 Its root is firm and its branches are in the sky 00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:05.020 It bears fruit at all times, with the permission of its Lord 00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:13.270 God sets examples for people so that they may remember 00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:18.270 An evil word is like an evil tree 00:03:18.270 --> 00:03:29.270 It uprooted from the earth what had no stability 00:03:29.270 --> 00:03:38.270 God strengthens those who believe with the firm word in this life and in the afterlife 00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:43.270 And God misleads the wrongdoers 00:03:43.270 --> 00:03:49.199 And God does whatever He wants 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:54.199 So God Almighty began with the true rooting and description 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.199 Then it was described as false rooting 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:02.550 Then with the fruit of both roots of stability and its absence 00:04:02.550 --> 00:04:08.550 The good word is the word of monotheism, there is no god but God 00:04:08.550 --> 00:04:15.550 Every call that is not built on this great foundation is invalid and failed 00:04:15.550 --> 00:04:20.839 Because monotheism is the first and last duty 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.839 This word has firm roots in the soil of piety 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:31.839 Its branch was high in the sky and did not shake due to temptation 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:37.839 It is not driven by whims and interests, and it bears its fruits at all times 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:42.839 In war and peace, there is a stage of weakness and strength 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:49.839 Unlike that malicious tree that has no roots or roots 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:55.839 As soon as the first turmoil came, it was uprooted from the earth 00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.000 You cannot be steadfast and steadfast 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.000 Do not be surprised, my Muslim brother, by the words and actions of some thinkers, leaders, and governments 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.100 Every vessel exudes what is in it 00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:16.100 The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 00:05:16.100 --> 00:05:19.100 Actions are like a vessel 00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:22.100 If the bottom is good, the top is good 00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:26.100 If the bottom is spoiled, the top is spoiled 00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:31.160 Narrated by Ahmed and authenticated by our Sheikh Al-Albani in Al-Sahih 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.420 And the Almighty said 00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:39.420 A good country grows its vegetation with the permission of its Lord 00:05:39.420 --> 00:05:44.420 And he who is malicious does not come out except in distress 00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:51.420 Thus We convey the signs to a people who are grateful 00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:56.990 Since the true influence in the souls of the Companions was strong 00:05:56.990 --> 00:06:00.990 There was neither an innovator nor a misguided person among them 00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:04.990 Religion provided people with fresh fruit 00:06:04.990 --> 00:06:07.990 And it yielded good, ripe fruits 00:06:07.990 --> 00:06:14.990 From which people of all classes ate across time and place 00:06:14.990 --> 00:06:19.250 Sheikh al-Islam said in Minhaj al-Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah 00:06:19.250 --> 00:06:22.279 As for the caliphs and companions 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:26.279 Everything is good for Muslims until the Day of Resurrection 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:32.279 From faith, Islam, the Qur’an, science, knowledge and worship 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.279 Entering Paradise and being saved from Hell 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:40.279 Their victory over the infidels and the supremacy of the word of God 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.279 It is due to the blessing of what the Companions did 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.279 Those who have attained religion and strive in the path of God 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.339 Every believer believes in God 00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:57.339 The Companions, may God be pleased with them, have a favor upon him until the Day of Resurrection 00:06:57.339 --> 00:07:02.470 Consider these words with me with careful understanding and deep thought 00:07:02.470 --> 00:07:09.470 What the scholar Ibn Al-Qayyim said in his book Al-Mati' Al-Fawa'id 00:07:09.470 --> 00:07:15.730 Whoever wants his building to be tall must strengthen its foundation and its principles 00:07:15.730 --> 00:07:17.730 And take great care of him 00:07:17.730 --> 00:07:22.730 The structure is only as strong as its foundation 00:07:22.730 --> 00:07:27.759 Deeds and degrees are edifying and their foundation is faith 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:32.759 And when the foundation is solid, the structure will be carried and lifted up by it 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:37.759 If any of the structure is destroyed, it is easy to repair it 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:43.819 If the foundation is not solid, the structure will not rise or be stable 00:07:43.819 --> 00:07:49.819 If anything from the foundation collapses, the structure collapses, or almost collapses 00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:54.920 The knowledgeable person's mission is to correct and establish the foundation 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.920 The ignorant person raises a building based on no basis 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.920 Soon his building will collapse 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.050 God Almighty said 00:08:05.050 --> 00:08:12.050 Is he who founded his building on fear of God and His approval better? 00:08:12.050 --> 00:08:21.050 He who founded his building on the brink of a hot cliff 00:08:21.050 --> 00:08:28.050 And he collapsed into the fire of hell 00:08:28.050 --> 00:08:34.049 And God does not guide the unjust people 00:08:34.049 --> 00:08:38.690 Charcoal your structure on the strength of the foundation of faith 00:08:38.690 --> 00:08:42.690 If something is scattered from the tops and roof of the building 00:08:42.690 --> 00:08:47.690 It was easier for you to correct it than destroying the foundation 00:08:47.690 --> 00:08:50.690 This is based on two things 00:08:50.690 --> 00:08:57.690 The first is correct knowledge of God, His command, His names, and His attributes 00:08:57.690 --> 00:09:03.690 The second is an abstraction of submission to Him and His Messenger to the exclusion of anything else 00:09:03.690 --> 00:09:08.980 This is the most solid foundation upon which the servant can build his structure 00:09:08.980 --> 00:09:13.009 According to him, he can build whatever he wants 00:09:13.009 --> 00:09:16.009 His words ended, may God have mercy on him 00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:19.259 So look, may God have mercy on me and you 00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:23.259 With your insight and insight into the reality of Muslims today 00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:27.259 You find collapses in Islamic work 00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:30.259 Then you realize a bitter truth 00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:38.259 It is that this work was not based on fear of God and approval of the texts of revelation 00:09:38.259 --> 00:09:42.259 The preferred jurisprudence of the imams of the centuries in religion 00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:46.620 Milestones on the path to stability
