I shahada humana anfaseem when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala caused each one of us to bear witness against

ourselves. Alas tu bi-raub bi-kum. Am I not your Lord?

Baalouba la shahidna and each one of us said yes we bear witness.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said las tu say on the day of judgment that we were unaware of this.

Subhanallah as you think of all of the ethical, all of the remembrances of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

that we do. Of course, the first one is a constant renewal of covenant today.

Keep on saying it throughout the day. It's a constant renewal of la ilaha illallah.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says alas tu bi-raub bi-kum.

We're constantly saying today bella. We're constantly saying yes.

Every time you say la ilaha illallah, you're saying bella. You're saying yes.

You're renewing that covenant with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

And one of the things that we have to recognize is that the renewal of covenants

goes hand in hand with two things. The admission of Allah's blessing

and the admission of one shortcoming. Those things cannot be separated from the renewal of that

covenant with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And if you look at Sayyidu al-Astihlal,

the chief of seeking forgiveness, the greatest way to seek forgiveness from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

and we ask Allah. So it's hard to write us from it. It's hard to write us from those

who are freed from the fire today. Allah ma'amin. Just look at the way that it is and how it

responds to this. Allah ma'am tarabi. Oh Allah, you are my Lord. Allah ma'am tarabi.
