Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers.
Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and his companions,
and peace and blessings be upon him.
My brothers and sisters, the second question and second reason that Ibrahim Ahmad Hebron said to the people of Basra
as the reason why their duas are not accepted,
was he said you recite the book of Allah, but you do not act upon it.
I remind myself and you, subhanAllah, that the purpose of all these reminders is for us to think about ourselves
and say what is it that I am doing in my life and where does that fit?
Does it fit the people who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, when Allah said,
Udhoni astajib lakum, ask for the knowledge of the Prophet,
and the knowledge of the Prophet,
and the knowledge of the Prophet,
and the knowledge of the Prophet,
ask me and I will give you,
who was Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala addressing?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala was addressing the Sahaba of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
He was addressing the most obedient people that ever existed.
He was addressing the best generation.
He said, Udhoni.
Now by definition, the promise of Allah, ask me and I will give you, extends to the end of time.
But also, the condition of who those people should be also extends to the end of creation,
to the end of time.
Because the dua is for,
Udhoni is for the people who are obedient to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
It came for them and it will be for those who are like them.
Ittaba'hum bi-ihsan.
Those who make their ittiba with excellence.
I can understand that.
I can understand and I can accept and certainly for myself,
we cannot hope to be anywhere close to the Sahaba.
But at least we need to be on the same path as them.
We cannot be going in the opposite direction and expect our duas to be accepted
like the duas of the Sahaba,
Ridhwanullahi alaihi majma'in, used to be accepted.
So let us be very clear in our minds and say that what is it that I am doing,
which will make me somebody whose dua is never rejected.
And that is to recite the book of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and to act upon it.
In another place Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanu lima takooluna ma la tafa'aloon
kabura maqtan inda Allahi an takoolu ma la tafa'aloon
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
Oh you who believe,
how is it that you say something that you do not do?
And it's a big issue with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Kabura maqtan.
It's a big issue with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
that you say something which you do not do.
So he's talking about living by our word,
by living by what we proclaim to believe.
Now Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent us his book,
his word,
that is the actual speech of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
This is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in a manner that pleases
and is in keeping with his majesty and grace.
So he sent this to Jubail-e-Salam
and Jubail-e-Salam came and conveyed that by word,
by speaking to Rasulullah .
Rasulullah heard that, he memorized it,
and he conveyed it again as speech to the Sahaba
and the Sahaba listened to it
and then they repeated it to each other
and they memorized it and they wrote it down
and it was preserved and it has been preserved in perfection
from the time it was revealed.
Alhamdulillah, till it reaches us.
Now Allah sent us his book,
which is the light of guidance
and as a criterion between right and wrong.
It is Al-Huda and it is Al-Furqan.
These are the names of the Quran Al-Bajid.
This is the guidance
and it is the criterion between right and wrong.
By mentioning stories of previous generations,
the Quran Al-Kareem warns us,
warns us about dangers and pitfalls in the journey of life.
The Quran gives us information
that only the Creator Allah can give
about the day of judgment and beyond,
