May Allah bless you for enduring the temporary marquee that has been put up here you may or may not know that this venue

there was a fire that actually raged and ravaged through the venue that's next to us and we've used it so many times in the past

but alhamdulillah we managed to gather here and the reward is indeed written but let's make sure that we have not wasted the endurance of the heat here

what that means is take from here something change your life even if it means a millimeter or a centimeter or more inshallah

this evening I will speak on the theme of this summer conference and that is the path to repentance

you and I know that Allah Almighty created Adam alaihi salam and told him don't eat from the tree agreed?

him and his wife Allah says wa Allah takor aba hadi he shajara don't eat from this tree that's it so in that place where they were made

and there is a big discussion as to where exactly it was was it the jannah that we're going to go back to or was it a different jannah

the more correct opinion is it was a different garden that is called jannah tuliptila it was a garden wherein which Allah wanted to test Adam and Hawa

and he knew that he is going to prohibit one thing and he knew what was going to happen but the broader purpose was that Allah Almighty send man to earth

in order to test them similarly knowing that the best from amongst us will be the one who repents immediately

so therefore Adam alaihi salam having spoken with Allah created by Allah exactly as he was in the sense that he wasn't a baby who was born

no he was created already an adult Adam alaihi salam was created already an adult

and Allah says we taught him all the nouns and the names and everything he needed to know to communicate

wa allama adam al asma akulla ha we taught Adam the names of everything this is a tree this is a stone this is this and this is water

and everything he already knew he came into creation there was only one thing that was prohibited one

what was that the tree don't go close to this tree don't eat from it and guess what happened

that's exactly what he did la hawla wa la kawata illa billah you thought of it one thing just one thing not allowed and that's exactly what he did

he did not defy Allah because he knew he had spoken to Allah he knew Allah better than you and I you and I

but shaytan continued with him and worked on him and continued to whisper and he did it prolonged

and he touched on certain things that he knew Adam alaihi salam is going to perhaps pay more attention to this type of whisper
