Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :
And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves ولا تكونوا كالذين نسوا الله فأنساهم أنفسهم
[Al-Hashr 59:19]
They forgot Allah نسوا الله
meaning they abandoned Him.
so He made them forget themselves فأنسانهم أنفسهم
meaning He made them unable to attend to their affairs. For this reason, the people who waste their time the most are those who disobey Allah. You will not find anyone losing their time severely except from what? From one who disobeys Allah. Allah the Exalted said:
and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose ولا تطع من أغفلنا قلبه عن ذكرنا واتبع هواه وكان أمره
[Al-Kahf 18:28]
What?
a loser فرطا
a loser, a complete loser.
O Allah, enliven our hearts with Your remembrance. O Allah, enliven our hearts with Your remembrance. O Allah, enliven our hearts with Your remembrance.
And be not like those who forgot Allah ولا تكونوا كالذين نسوا الله
[Al-Hashr 59:19]
meaning they abandoned His obedience.
so He made them forget themselves فأنساهم أنفسهم
Those are the open sinners أولئك هم الفاسقون
. The open sinners are those who go out from the obedience of Allah. From this is their saying: "The date has split open" when it comes out of its skin and emerges. So open sinfulness is going out from obedience.
