Enter Islam fully

Auto-generated transcript:Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
Wasalatu wasalamu ala ashrafil anbiya wal mursaleen.
Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam.
Tasliman kathiran kathira.
Fama badu.
My brothers and sisters.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said.
Ya ayyuhal ladhina amanu.
Udkhulu fis silmi kafatan.
Wala tattabihu qutuwati shaytan.
Innahu lakum aduhum mubeen.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said.
Which means the ayat which we have ourselves heard many many times.
Which means O you who believe.
Enter into Islam fully.
Completely.
Udkhulu fis silmi kafatan.
Wala tattabihu qutuwati shaytan.
And do not follow the footsteps of shaytan.
Innahu lakum aduhum mubeen.
He is an open enemy to you.
I remind myself and you.
To reflect on this ayah.
Because first and foremost.
This ayah is addressing the believers.
It is addressing the believers.
And in this case.
Those believers were the sahaba of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
The best of the best.
In every sense of the term.
So Allah ta'ala is addressing them.
And he is saying O you who believe.
And do what?
Enter into Islam completely.
Not partially.
I remind myself and you.
That.
To benefit from.
Any situation.
To benefit from anything.
It is critical and essential.
To do it fully.
Not partially.
And this applies across the board.
For example.
If you want to benefit from walking.
As an exercise aerobic exercise.
Then they say you must walk.
Ten thousand steps.
That is five miles.
If I walk.
I will walk.
If I walk one thousand steps.
Which is half a mile.
I am still walking.
But I will not be able to benefit from it.
In the way.
That somebody who walks ten thousand miles.
Will benefit.
If I want to become a doctor.
Then I will have to.
Join the.
Join a medical college.
I will have to study.
For the entire duration of the course.
I cannot say.
Well, you know.
I want to become a doctor.
But.
The thing takes too long.
It is like.
Six years.
And then I have to.
You know.
Do specialization.
Which is another couple of years.
And so on and so on.
And I am a busy man.
I.
Do not have all this time.
So I am going to.
Do a few things.
I am going to.
Do a few things.
I am going to.
Do a few things.
I am going to.
Do a few things.
So I am going to.
Attend medical college.
For one year.
Because.
I do not think really.
I am very smart.
And I do not really think.
I need more than that.
And the rest of the time.
I will just.
You know.
I mean.
Books are there.
I know in the English language.
The books are in English.
So I am going to read.
And.
And that is it.
I will not be a doctor.
And if I do that.
And if I try to practice medicine.
Then.
I will find myself in some.
Some.
Some.
Some.
Some.
Some.
I will find myself in some serious problems.
The same thing I can go on with this.
You know indefinitely, but I do not think I need to.
And.
Let me just give you one more example.
Which.
Is supposing I.
Want to learn.
To get a driver's license, then I would have to take the course.
Pass the written exam, then pass the actual test.
And having done all of that, then.
I will be qualified to call myself a doctor, not before.
Same thing applies across the board to everything.
Now, the question is, to ask ourselves this,
that this is something that we have no problem with believing,
with mentally adjusting to.
We have no problem with understanding this,
understanding the importance of this, right?
But for some funny reason, when it comes to Islam,
we change these rules, we put them,
we put them in the way of Islam.
We turn them upside down.
We do not apply the same rules when it comes to Islam.
Somewhere we have convinced ourselves that
Islam is something which can be learnt in our free time.
And by free time, we mean time which is basically useless time,
because free time when it comes to learning Islam
is for us something which is free,
free from everything else.
If I have a game to play, it is not free time.
If I have to, you know,
