00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Allah's teaching us a pattern of behavior, you
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			gotta do something.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			Love doesn't help those who sit around and
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			do nothing, the Quran emphasizes over and over.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			Do something.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			If you're sitting in a prison cell, you
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			look around, what can I do? Prophet Yusuf
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			alaihis salam, what did he do the 2nd
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			he arrived in prison? 2nd he arrived, what
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			did he say? He had 2 roommates or
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			prison needs. He said, hey, come here. Come
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			here. Are multiple gods better or is one
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			god better? First thing he said to me.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			He's like, alright. This is what I can
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			do. And he stuck he he stayed in
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			this in prison. Like, it wasn't like God
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			rewarded him. Tomorrow, he was exonerated. He stayed
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			for years. It wasn't about that. It wasn't
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			about, if I do this, God will get
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			me out tomorrow. It was about, okay. Looked
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			around, like, what what can we do? I
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			got 2 guys here. Come here. Let's talk.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			Let me help somebody. He couldn't sit and
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			not be of of aid. Then later, one
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			of those 2 guys got freed first, and
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			he went and he was the reason, not
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			only Prophet Youssef got exonerated,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			but he became one of the ministers of
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Egypt many, many years later. So the seeds
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			were planted. But a good person plants the
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			seeds of khair, of goodness because he believes
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			in good, because he's in service of Allah.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			You never know which seed pans out.
