00:00Shaitan is relentless, so we have to be repentant.
00:10He's relentless and we're not perfect.
00:14So that leaves only one course of action and that is repentance.
00:18That's all we have available to us.
00:20So I wanted to talk about the remedy in terms of dealing with this onslaught, with this
00:24attack, with this external pushing and pulling that we're constantly dealing with.
00:29How do we stand strong against it?
00:31This external force.

00:35Shaitan is your opponent, he is your enemy, so identify him as such.
00:42Identify him as such.
00:45What are my tools?
00:46What are my weapons that I need in this case?
00:49The first thing is that we have to rely upon our connection with Allah.
00:55Go ahead and call it du'a, but we have to constantly be invoking the mercy, the help,
01:00the assistance from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

ูุฒูุงุชู ุงูุดููููุงุทูููู
01:08Constantly ask Allah to protect you against Shaitan.
01:11There's a very beautiful dhikr or remembrance the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam used
01:15to make.
01:16ุฃูุนููุฐู ุจูุงูููููู ู

ูุฒููู ููููููุฎููู ููููููุซููู
01:25And then the second thing Shaitan does is Shaitan will try to instigate.
01:40He'll try to make things flare up between you and people.
01:44The Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam in a narration,
01:45ููููุฎููู
01:46He referred to it as Kibr.
01:48The Hamas is the junoon of Shaitan.
01:50Shaitan is like obsessive.
01:52He's obsessed with us.
01:54The ููููุฎููู is that Shaitan is arrogant.
01:57So he wants you to be arrogant and walk around like an arrogant person being rude and obnoxious
02:02and picking fights with other people.
02:06And then the last point is ููููุซู
02:09And ููููุซู basically means when somebody gets so close to you and speaks to you,
02:13so passionately speaking to you so close that they're spitting on you while they're talking
02:18to you.
02:19You don't say it, don't spray it.
02:22Some people when they talk to you, they share too much, right?
02:25That's ููููุซู
02:27And what that basically means is Shaitan will get it, come here and whisper to you.
02:33And he will never give up.
02:35He's relentless.
02:36So what do we have to do?
02:37We have to keep asking Allah to protect us from Shaitan.
02:40Step number one, constantly all the time.
02:42And interestingly in the Quran, one of the places where Allah tells us to constantly
02:46seek Allah's protection from Shaitan is ููุฅูุฐูุง ููุฑูุฃูุชู ุงููููุฑูุขูู
02:52When you sit down to read the Quran, the Quran is a part of your defense against Shaitan
02:59and his onslaught.
03:01Read the Quran.
03:02But Allah didn't say ููุฅูุฐูุง ููุฑูุฃูุชู ุงููููุฑูุขูู
03:06Don't just recite but read.
03:07You get a translation, you read along with the translation.
03:10You try to understand what you're reading.
03:13If you work with the Quran every single day, that is a part of your defense mechanism,
03:19your shield against Shaitan and his attack.
03:23The Prophet ๏ทบ tells us there are four times when Shaitan, he basically cursed himself,
03:30where he was miserable.
03:32And the last of those four times are when Surah Fatiha was revealed.
03:36The Quran is something that completely hits back Shaitan with more force than he can deal
03:43ููุงูููุฐูููู ุฅูุฐูุง ููุนููููุง ููุงุญูุดูุฉู ุฃููู ุธูููู
ููุง ุฃููููุณูููู
ู
03:48Surah number 3, ayah number 135.
03:50That those who did wrong, those who did bad things or they transgressed the limits and
03:56the laws that Allah has set for them, ุฐูููุฑููุง ุงูููููู
04:00Then they immediately turn around and talk to Allah and speak to Allah and turn to Allah
04:05ููุงุณูุชูุบูููุฑููุง ููุฐููููุจูููู
ู
04:07And they ask Allah to forgive the wrong that they just committed that Allah completely forgives
04:11them and absolves them from the burden and the sin of what they've committed.
04:15That Shaitan, Iblis, when he heard this ayah, he broke down crying.
04:20What made him cry was two things.
04:23Number one, not only the fact that the human being was afforded this opportunity to be
04:26able to immediately repent for the wrong that he had done, that Shaitan felt like he was
04:30not given.
04:31And then the second thing is the fact that Shaitan realizes, I had to work for days,
04:36maybe weeks, maybe months to get this person to do this bad thing.
04:42And that person immediately turns around and says, Oh Allah, I messed up.
04:45I'm so sorry.
04:46Please forgive me, Allah.
04:47And immediately everything's reset.
04:51So talk to Allah.
04:54Ask Allah to protect you from this onslaught, from this outside attack.
04:58Secondly, build a relationship with the Quran.
05:02And thirdly and finally is ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for forgiveness.
05:07It doesn't matter how badly you messed up.
05:10Immediately in that moment, the second it occurs to you, find a quick little corner.
05:14Go sit down somewhere quietly.
05:16Go stand in a corner by yourself and say, Oh Allah, I messed up.
05:19Please forgive me.
05:32I'm sorry.
05:33I'm sorry.
05:34I'm sorry.
05:35I'm sorry.
05:36I'm sorry.
05:37I'm sorry.
05:38I'm sorry.
05:39I'm sorry.
05:40I'm sorry.
05:41I'm sorry.
05:42I'm sorry.
05:43I'm sorry.
