1
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:09,280
"Hold fast to my Sunnah."

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:16,516
"And the Sunnah of the Rightly
Guided Caliphs after me."

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,020
"Cling to it and bite down on it
with your molars."

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,780
"And beware of newly introduced
matters."

5
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:27,700
Every new matter is an innovation.

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,640
"And every innovation is
misguidance."

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:38,220
Part of ingratitude for this blessing is
that we stop holding fast to it.

8
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,940
And introduce innovations
into the religion.

9
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:48,100
Such are innovations in religion for which
Allah ﷻ sent down no authority.

10
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:56,220
This comes through the prompting of
human and jinn devils and false guides.

11
00:01:00,540 --> 00:01:02,200
So we must be alert to this.

12
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,040
And show thanks for this blessing
by holding fast to it.

13
00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:16,960
Study it and keep remembering it,
for Allah ﷻ has informed us.

14
00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:27,660
about the former nations who denied
Allah ﷻ's favors and what befell them.

15
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:39,240
Allah ﷻ says: "O Children of Israel,
remember My favor bestowed upon you."

16
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:48,740
"And fulfill My covenant;
I will fulfill yours, and fear Me alone."

17
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,300
He reminds them of His blessing upon them.

18
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:02,540
Remember My favor bestowed on you,
and that I favored you above all people.

19
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,460
He favored them by sending messengers
and sent down the Torah and Gospel.

20
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,100
This is a great blessing.

21
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,340
But when they were ungrateful for it
and changed, Allah changed their state.

22
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,680
Indeed, Allah would never change
a favor He bestowed on a people

23
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:30,000
"until they change what is
within themselves."

24
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:40,196
So when people deny blessings
and fail to give thanks for them.

25
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,740
Allah changes their state and strips
them of these blessings.
