How Certainty in Allah Protects Your Heart
Riyadul Saliheen: Chapter on Certainty (Al-Yaqeen) and Trust in Allah (Al-Tawakkul)
Summary
This lecture discusses the chapters on certainty (al-yaqeen) and trust in Allah (al-tawakkul) from Riyadul Saliheen by Imam al-Nawawi. The speaker explains that al-yaqeen refers to absolute certainty in Allah's promises and the inevitability of the afterlife, resurrection, and divine reward and punishment. The lecture emphasizes that this certainty is a choice individuals make to believe in what the Messenger has conveyed, and such conviction protects believers during vulnerable times. The speaker also references Quranic verses about Prophet Yahya and Prophet Isa, highlighting how Allah's protection extends through critical life moments: birth, death, and resurrection.

Almost 80 in with the chapters and weve taken about 20 narrations through on roughly 100 narrations from and about a dozen or so dozenes individual verses from the quر That's a lot of knowledge. That is a lot of information and it's not to be taken for grant not so for جزاكم الله. يقول باب اليقين والتوكل اليقين والتوكل الله سبحانه وتعالى الله سبحانه وتعالى both and heart are largely but they have they have effects on person behavi person spe person both of these forlimy to have minimum of and so speak about each of these acts of worship ان شاء الله تعالى separately first of all is certainty that is so strong no can debase it no can shake it this is what is referred to as certainty this is called in the arabic langage of ر الله سبحانه وتعالى اليقين واعبد ربك حتى ياتيك اليقين اليقين هنا بمعنى الموت باجماع المفسرين اللهقين.

Why? Because certain is the inevitable and that is that all human being all agree no matter where we come from what we believe no matter what we all agree that death is going to come for each and every one of usentually we can try to squirm we can try to wiggle away but it's going to snatch us up from our warm warm bedsentually no matter what we do and so the Arabs would refer to death asق right they used to refer to it asقي because it is something that is absolutely certain and everyone has agreed and point here is certainty and that is that a person in what has said in what the propet has said with such certainty that they as inevitable as inevitable as parad andell reward and punishment things are الله سبحانه وتعالى قران من سوره البقره يقين سبحانه وتعالى هدى للمتقين الذين يؤمنون بالغيب ويقيمون الصلاه ومما رزقناهم ينفقون والذين يؤمنون بما انزل اليك وما انزل من قبلك وبالاخره هم يوقنون الله تقوى as people are absolutely of the here of the resurrection of anything that occurs after the word here after رخره.
