Brothers and sisters, Allah gave us a heart.

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

Allah gave us fitra to tell. Every single

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

last one of us here, we have excuses

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

for days.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

Oh, but you don't understand, the reason I

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

was nasty was a b and c. The

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

reason I lie is because the things I

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

went through. The reason I steal is because

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

x and y and z. The reason why

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

people don't like me is because it's their

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

fault. We have we can we can make

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

a book out of excuses.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

But Allah says you are the the biggest

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

witness against your own self. We all know

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

and deep down, we all know when we're

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

living a wicked lifestyle, we all know how

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

people feel about us or at least we

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

can sense it, but we just give ourselves

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

a million excuses to postpone postpone postpone until

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

we land in our grave.
