00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			So I'm like, before we get started, inshallah,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			if we could just have everyone scoot up
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			as much as possible just because there's gonna
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			be a lot more people trickling in toward
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			the middle and the end of the khutba
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			and jama'a.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			So instead of causing an interruption in between,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			yeah, if we can just create space now,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			inshallah, that'd be ideal.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			JazakAllah.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:04
			Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:13
			I bear witness that there is none worthy
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			of worship except Allah.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:28
			I bear witness that there is none worthy
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			of worship except Allah.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:43
			I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			of Allah.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:59
			I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			of Allah.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:36
			Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:04:02
			Allah
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:12
			is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:18
			There is
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:30
			none
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:42
			worthy of worship except Allah.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			One of the beautiful elements of our faith
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:39
			and our tradition is the removal of opinion.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			I know that this is something that is
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			shocking when you think about the world that
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			we live in today, where everything that we
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			judge, everything that we assess, is through the
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			opinions of people, whether it be ourselves or
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			those that are around us or even complete
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			strangers.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			Think about the last time that you decided
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			where you were going to go eat at
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			a restaurant and you looked at how many
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			stars that restaurant got.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			Was it four stars, five stars, three stars?
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			What the reviews were like when you purchased
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			things online.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:17
			The opinions of others or of ourselves have
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			become the gold standard as to whether or
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			not we feel that something is worth it.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			And when it comes to purchasing something, reviews
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			are helpful.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			You can learn from other people's experiences.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			You can benefit from people's challenges or their
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			success stories.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			And that's why we look at these things.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			But these metrics, while helpful when it comes
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			to your personal purchasing and your personal life,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			are not the same metrics that we use
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			to determine whether or not something is good
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			or bad for our Iman.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			We don't use these types of metrics to
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			understand whether or not something is what Allah
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			Ta'ala loves or what Allah Ta'ala
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			does not want for us to do.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			We have a different metric there.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			The Prophet, peace be upon him, through many
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			narrations, many stories in his life, peace be
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			upon him, he demonstrated this over and over
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			and over again.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			When you think about, for example, his initial
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			stage of Dawah in Mecca, as he was
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			encountering this challenge from Quraysh over and over
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:24
			again, and Quraysh, the leaders, were upset, but
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			they were also trying to figure out a
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			way to stop the message of the Prophet,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:28
			peace be upon him.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			They offered him, in exchange for his silence,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			in exchange for his conceding, they said, we'll
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			give you whatever you want.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			And the response of the Prophet, peace be
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:44
			upon him, even for a moment, was never
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			ever to consider this trade.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			And his answer, peace be upon him, was
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			what?
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			This is not my religion to give up.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			This is not my choice.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			This idea of submission was intricately built into
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			the entire understanding of what it means to
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03
			be a Prophet or a follower of a
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:03
			Prophet.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07
			So, how well can you submit, is the
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			question that Islam asks of us.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			That's why Allah Ta'ala says, وَنَحْنُ لَهُ
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			الْمُسْلِيمُونَ And we are, to Him, in a
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			state of submission.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			So, when it comes to understanding our religious
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:24
			tradition, we find an immense value, we find
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			an incredible level of value and strength in
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			our ability to look at what our Messenger,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			peace be upon him, taught us, and to
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			take from what he has given us.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			In a narration, in both Sahih Bukhari and
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			Muslim, the Prophet, peace be upon him, gives
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			this standard.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			He gives this instruction.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			The narration is given to us by Abu
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			Huraira, رضي الله عنه, and he says, سمعت
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول I
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			heard the Prophet, peace be upon him, that
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			he said, and I want you to understand
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			first, before we go into the narration, that
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			this is Abu Huraira, this is a person
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:02
			who spent dedicated, continuous time learning and living
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			the life of the Prophet, peace be upon
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			him.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			This is not like somebody, one of us,
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			maybe saying something.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			This is a person that is vetted, right?
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			He doesn't have any moments where you feel
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			like, ah, he might be challenging the Messenger.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			No, peace be upon him.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			Abu Huraira was known to be a devout
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			student of the Prophet of Allah, peace be
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:23
			upon him.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			And he says, that the Prophet, peace be
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:30
			upon him, says, ما نهيتكم عنه فاشتنبوه He
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:38
			says, whatever I have forbidden for you, you
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			have to stay as far away from it
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			as humanly possible.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			Whatever I have said in my language, that
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			this is impermissible, that this is something that
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			will take you further away from Allah, subhanahu
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			wa ta'ala, you have to stay away
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			from it.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			There's no conversation, there's no point here where
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			the Prophet, peace be upon him, says something
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			like, you know, but if it makes sense
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			to you, then everybody has their own life
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:04
			to live.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			That's not what the Prophet, peace be upon
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			him, says.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			He doesn't say, but if you think that
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			you know better, then you can ultimately decide.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:13
			It's your family.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:14
			No.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			The Prophet, peace be upon him, says what?
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			ما نهيتكم عنه Whatever I have forbidden for
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			you, فاشتنبوه Stay away from it.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			And this is not given in the language
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			of power, although the Prophet, peace be upon
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			him, is our authority.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			This is given, and you can understand this
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			better, especially if you are somebody who is
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			in charge of somebody else.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			If you're a parent, if you are a
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			father or a mother, and you have children,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			or if you're an older sibling, or if
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			you're somebody that has responsibility in your life,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			you know exactly the flavor of these words
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			from the lips of our Messenger, peace be
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:48
			upon him.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			The flavor is what?
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			The flavor is, I'm concerned.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			I'm worried.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			I don't want you to have to go
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			through this thing.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			I don't want you to have to deal
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			with the difficulty of this.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			You know, when the Prophet, peace be upon
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			him, when he was engaged by companions that
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			had internal struggles, he, peace be upon him,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			would always deal with them in a way
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			that was so gentle, that was so caring.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			It wasn't about proving that he was right,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			peace be upon him.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			There were many moments where the Prophet, peace
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			be upon him, had to encounter somebody who
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			did exactly what he had advised them not
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			to do.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			And they came back to him, and he
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			greeted them with a smile, and said, don't
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			you think now is the time to listen?
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			Isn't it now the time that you change
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:34
			your mind?
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			Isn't it now the time that you decide
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			to follow the advice that you got in
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			the first place?
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			The Prophet, peace be upon him, part of
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:45
			his mission, وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ The
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			part of the mission that Allah described is
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			that he is mercy, and a mercy would
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			never want to see his students, his followers,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			in pain.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			He would never want to see us in
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:54
			difficulty.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			He would never, peace be upon him, want
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			to see us struggle.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			And so his words are strong, but his
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			message is meaningful, which is whatever I have
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			told you to stay away from, please, for
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			your sake and for the sake of your
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			relationship with Allah, stay away from it.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			And then he continues, and he says, وَمَا
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:18
			أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا أَسْتَتَعْتُمْ He says,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22
			and whatever you have heard or seen me
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			command you to do, whatever has been obligated
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:31
			upon you by me, Allah says, do all
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			that you can from it.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:36
			فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا أَسْتَتَعْتُمْ Do whatever it is
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			that you are possible of doing from this
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			list of things.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			So the scholars here, they say this hadith
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			is very interesting, because when it comes to
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			prohibitions, there is no exception.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			When it comes to don't do, he doesn't
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			say, stay away from whatever you can.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			But if you struggle, go ahead, enjoy.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			He doesn't say that.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			He says, whatever I have told you not
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			to do, don't do it.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			Whatever I have told you to do, as
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			much as you can do, you know your
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:02
			capacity.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			You know what you can do, do as
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:04
			much as you can.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			For some people, for example, there is a
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			famous story of the Bedouin who came to
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			the Prophet ﷺ and he said, what is
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			it that a person has to do to
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:13
			go to Jannah?
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			And the Prophet ﷺ, he gave the five
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			pillars.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			They have to witness and bear witness that
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			Allah is one, and that his messenger is
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			This person has to pray, they have to
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			give zakat, they have to fast Ramadan, and
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			they have to make hajj once in their
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			life, if it's possible.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			And the Bedouin says, if I do this,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			I'll go to Jannah.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			The Prophet ﷺ says, if you do this,
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			you'll go to Jannah.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			And the Bedouin replied by saying, I will
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			do this and not a single thing more.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:37
			And he left.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			Now the companions around the Prophet ﷺ, Umar,
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:48
			Abu Bakr, others, their daily life, their average
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			day, includes sadaqah.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			Not zakat once a year, sadaqah every day.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			They're fasting multiple times a week, not just
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:58
			Ramadan.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			They are praying not just the five prayers.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			They're doing all of the nawafil, they're doing
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			all of their sunnah, they're doing all of
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			the extra, the tahajjud, they're doing all of
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:08
			it.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			And so when they hear this man come,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			and this man comes to the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			and he says, what do I have to
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			do?
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			And his language is very much like, bare
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:16
			minimum.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			What do I have to do?
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			The Prophet ﷺ does not shame him, does
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			not make him feel like, come on man.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			Are you a C-, are you a D
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:26
			- Muslim?
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			He doesn't make him feel that way.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			But he says to him, okay, this is
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			what you have to do.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:34
			And then the Bedouin, again, part of the
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			character of the Bedouin is that they're painfully
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			honest about how they feel.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			All of us, we can hide how we
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			feel.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:40
			Hey, how's the food?
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			Oh, it's good.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			But the Bedouin would say, it needs more
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:44
			salt.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			We have some Bedouins maybe here with us,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			right?
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			So he says, if you do this, and
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			the Bedouin says, I won't do a single
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			thing more.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			So the companions, they waited until the man
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			left, and they said, Ya Rasulullah, what gives?
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
			That's, that's, we haven't heard that kind of,
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			you know, and the Prophet ﷺ said, I
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			said if.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			If he's able to do it.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			Which is a big if.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			And it's true.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			If a person is able to do that,
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			they will do it.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			So why do we do all of these
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			extra things?
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			Because you're capable of doing it.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			Whatever you can do.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			And by doing more, subhanAllah, one of my
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			teachers, he said, when you do more, you
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			protect yourself from leaving off the things that
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:28
			you have to do.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			If I pray my sunnah for Fajr, I'm
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			probably not missing Fajr.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			If I pray my winter after Isha, I'm
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			probably not missing Isha, correct?
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			But if I'm skipping all of those things,
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			then I will come to a point in
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			my life where I'm probably going to be
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			missing out on the things that I have
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			to do, and that's not a good place
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			to be.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			May Allah ta'ala protect us.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			So the Prophet ﷺ gives us his framework.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			And he says, whatever I've told you not
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			to do, don't come near it.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			Whatever I've told you to do, do what
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			you can.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			The scholars also say very beautifully that it's
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			very easy to not do something.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			You just have to stop.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			A person might ask themselves a question like,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			okay, well, how do I stop backbiting?
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			Well, just close your mouth.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			How do I stop looking at haram things?
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			Look away.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:13
			Close your eyes.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:14
			Leave the room.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			How do I stop?
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			Just don't.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			But doing something requires more energy.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			It's more active.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			And that's why the mercy of the Prophet
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			ﷺ was more present in this side, which
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			is whatever you can do.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			It's not possible for everybody to get out
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			of bed in the cold before Fajr and
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:32
			pray to Hajj.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			It's not possible for everybody to dig deep
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			in their pockets and to give from their
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			wealth when they're unsure if they feel confident
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			enough for themselves.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			That's always not possible.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			But what is possible, per the Prophet's ﷺ
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			advice, is to stay away from the things
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			that will take you further from Allah ﷻ.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			And then the Prophet ﷺ, he gives us
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			the story behind this message.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			Why is it important to live with this
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			framework?
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			Why is it important to adopt this as
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			your principle of life?
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			Because, he says, فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:09
			He says, because it is the case that
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			there has not been a thing that has
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			destroyed more of the nations that came before
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:15
			you.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			Think of the stories of the Qur'an.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			Think of how many times we read about
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			this nation, that nation, these people, this people.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			And subhanAllah, he beautifully summarizes.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			He says that there was not a single
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			thing that destroyed the people that came before
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:32
			you.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:39
			He says, كَثْرَةُ مَسَائِلِهِمْ وَإِخْتِلَافُهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنْبِيَاءِهِمْ The
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			thing that absolutely destroyed their chances at having
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			success with Allah was two.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			Number one, was that instead of just submitting,
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			they kept asking questions.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			And the questions were not good questions.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			You see, there is always a difference between
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			a good question and a bad question.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			A good question is a question where the
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			answer is not abundantly obvious.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			The answer is not there.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ How do we do this?
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ How do...
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			You see the companions ask good questions.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			But you don't see the companions ask questions
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			that the Prophet ﷺ says establish prayer.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			They say, do we have to establish prayer?
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			That's a bad question.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			So the Prophet ﷺ, he says what?
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			He says, كَثْرَةُ مَسَائِلِهِمْ That they asked way
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			too many questions.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			And the question, the story of Bani Israel
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			in Surah Al-Baqarah is kind of an
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:30
			example.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			You have to slaughter the cow.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			What kind of cow?
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			What color should it be?
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			How big should...
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			The question is used as a mechanism of
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:37
			what?
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			Deferring and delaying.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			It's not sincere.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			A sincere question is, please, I want to
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:43
			complete this.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			Give me guidance so I can complete it.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			But then there's the second type of question
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			that you might see with your kids, right?
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			Because they think that they're smart.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			And they are, mashaAllah.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			They say, hey, go clean your room.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			What do you want me to do with
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			my clothes?
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			Where should I put my dirty clothes?
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			And the dirty laundry hamper is right there.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			Where should I put my books?
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			The bookshelf is right there.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			They're asking those questions.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:05
			Why?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			Because they want to make it so painful.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			They want to drag it out step by
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:09
			step.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			That way the person says, oh, don't clean
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:11
			your room.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			I'll clean it for you.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			It's faster if I just do it for
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:13
			you.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:18
			So these nations would drag out their questions
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			with their prophets.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			And they would ask, ask, ask, ask.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:22
			Why?
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			Because they didn't want to do the submission
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			piece.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			They didn't want to submit.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			They just wanted to delay, delay, delay.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			Because maybe if we delay enough, we'll get
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			exactly what we want.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:35
			And that led to, وَإِخْتِلَافُهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنْبِيَائِهُمْ And
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			as a result of that, they differed with
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			their teachers, their prophets that were sent to
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:40
			them.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			You know, a lot of times, subhanAllah, we
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			feel as Muslims that there will never ever
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			come a time or a day in which
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			we will differ with the Messenger of Allah
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			ﷺ.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			And we pray that Allah makes us amongst
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			those people.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			That we submit.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			That we never have a moment.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			But I want you to think about this.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			The Prophet ﷺ is speaking to believers here.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			He's not speaking to disbelievers.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			He's not saying, Oh, kuffar.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:04
			No.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			He's speaking to companions.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:11
			And he's telling these companions that you are
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:11
			not immune.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			You are not perfectly safe from being a
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			person that might differ with me, that might
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:17
			disagree with me.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			And we have some stories, subhanAllah.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			And the companions did not differ with the
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:22
			Prophet.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			We're not going to say that because that's
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:23
			not true.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			But we'll have some stories from the seerah
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			where the companions may have not seen it
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			exactly the exact way that the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			saw it on the same timeline that he
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			saw it.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			They were a step behind.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			One of the famous stories is from Hudaybiyyah.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			Or Umar ﷺ.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			He didn't see exactly what the wisdom was
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:49
			in the deal that the Muslims had with
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			the people of Quraysh, people of Mecca.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			And he was upset.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			He was confused.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			He was frustrated.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			Not with the Prophet.
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			Never.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			Umar was never ever upset or confused with
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			the Messenger of Allah.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:01
			Ever.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:05
			But he was confused and upset by the
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:05
			situation.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			It came all this way.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			We did all this work.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			And now we have to turn back.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			And we're leaving our people.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			They're getting our brothers and they're taking them
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:16
			back.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			This isn't fair.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:18
			This isn't right.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			And he, in this moment of emotion, he
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:23
			protests.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			Not the Messenger.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			He protests the situation.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			I don't like this.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			I don't like this.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:32
			The Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and all of
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			those who were there, they gesture.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			Hey, quiet down.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			Quiet down.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			Watch.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:37
			Observe.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			See how things play out.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			Sometimes you gotta let the situation unfold.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			And then Subhanallah, as they're leaving, and as
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			they're making their way back, the Prophet ﷺ,
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			he calls in the caravan for Umar.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:49
			He says, where's Umar?
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:50
			So they call Umar.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:53
			Umar radiAllahu anhu, he says, I was never
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			more regretful in my life of a single
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			moment, more than the moment that I spoke
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			and I raised my voice in front of
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			the Prophet ﷺ about this situation.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			I was so regretful.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			In fact, in another Athar, he said very
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			beautifully, I have never regretted my silence.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			I've always only regretted my speaking.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			Isn't that the truth?
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			Man Samata Naja.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			The Prophet ﷺ says, whoever is quiet is
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			safe.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			They're safe.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			Umar, he said, I never regretted my silence.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			I only regretted the times that I spoke.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			So the Prophet ﷺ calls him up and
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			speaks to him.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:28
			He says, what?
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			He tells him about the revelation.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:30
			He says, Ya Umar.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			He says, we have been given victory.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			Allah Ta'ala revealed, inna fatahna laka fathammu
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			bina.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			This is a clear victory.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			Again, it was confusing.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			There was a cloud of confusion.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			But the Prophet ﷺ knew exactly and what
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			was needed at that moment was submission.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			Can we submit to the Prophet of Allah
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			ﷺ?
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			That's the strength of our iman.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			And if you look at the stories of
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			the great companions, those people that we follow,
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			we name our kids after them, we read
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			their stories.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			We find that they had one trait that
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			was above all else.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:04
			They were intelligent.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			They were successful.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			They were very respected for other things.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			But their greatest trait was their submission to
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			Allah and His Messenger.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			They were able to put their head down,
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			to roll their sleeves up, and to get
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:20
			to work, especially when the time called for
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:20
			it.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			We ask Allah Ta'ala to make us
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:21
			amongst those.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:23
			We ask Allah Ta'ala to give us
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			the ability to submit.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			We ask Allah Ta'ala to give us
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			the ability to see the wisdom in the
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			moments where we don't understand it.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			وَقُولُكَ لِهَذَا وَاسْتَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لِهِ وَلَكُمْ وَلِسَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:45
			وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا إِنَّهُكُمْ غَفُورٌ وَحِيمٌ الحمد
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:50
			لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام وعذاب أشرف المرسلين
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى آله
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:58
			وأصحابه إجمعين Brothers and sisters there is often
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			times when we talk about developing these religious
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:05
			spiritual traits, things like submission, things like توكل
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			there is sometimes the idea or the notion
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			that when we hear a lecture or a
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:14
			khutbah about these things that deriving them or
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:18
			landing on them is like a jackpot or
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			it's very much like a lucky draw, has
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			nothing to do with skill or hard work
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			but maybe if I lead the khutbah I'll
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			become a person who has more توكل maybe
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			if I do this one day I'll wake
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			up and I'll submit to Allah more as
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			if there is not a plan or a
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			place, a pathway to Allah and his messenger
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			I want to share with you two things
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			that we've been taught from the messenger of
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			Allah from our teachers that has given us
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			an understanding of how to develop this توكل
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			how to develop trust in Allah and how
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			to develop the ability to submit to the
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			plan of Allah even before you can see
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			the end you don't see the light at
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			the end of the tunnel but you know
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:01
			it's there number one is a deep connection
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04
			to the seerah of the prophet and I
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			say this not out of ceremony, I mean
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			this there will come a point in your
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			life if you've read the seerah if you've
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			studied the life of the messenger of Allah
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17
			where literally every single moment you're in you'll
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			be able to tie it back to his
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			life you'll be able to say ah this
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			reminds me of this this reminds me of
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:26
			that my kids just did the seerah camp
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			here couple weeks ago alhamdulillah along with the
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			seerah intensive and I'm seeing the fruit of
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			this in their conversation that we'll be sitting
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			talking about something and they'll bring up oh
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			this reminds me of this this reminds me
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			of that and it's so beautiful to see
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			with children but there's a big imperative for
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			us as adults for us as community members
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			that our children may at some point because
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			of their Saturday schools because of their Islamic
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			schools they may end up knowing the seerah
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:58
			better than we do and that's not a
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			good place to be in we want to
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			be able not just to listen to the
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:05
			conversation but to also join the conversation and
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			if we don't know the life of the
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			messenger of Allah how will we ever be
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			able to take examples from it it's like
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			asking what is something delicious to eat at
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			a restaurant but never have been there we've
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			never even eaten there and people come to
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			you and say hey they have a great
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			dish and you say yeah I've heard all
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			of us have heard about how great the
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			life of the prophet peace be upon him
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:30
			was but none of us really feel confident
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			maybe that we know exactly subhanallah how his
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			life went and we can apply it to
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			our lives and number two after you have
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			the knowledge, the reading, the listening the podcast,
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			etc you're able to then spend time reflecting
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			on the life of the prophet peace be
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:48
			upon him and transposing it over your life
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52
			whatever you're going through connecting yourself emotionally to
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			him the knowledge is a prerequisite but then
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			you also have to reflect and think about
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			it often times we live our days and
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			our nights and we just kind of keep
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			going through the motions we don't think about
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			things we don't reflect but this is a
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			part of the Quranic imperative Allah Ta'ala
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			asked us in the Quran to reflect, to
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:15
			think to take measure, to wonder Imam Ghazali
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Rahim Allah, a great scholar, he actually has
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:21
			an entire book called The Book of Muhasaba
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			and Muraqaba the book where a person how
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			to then at the end of your day
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			take account of yourself and to ask yourself
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			what were the things that I did today
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			we won't be able to apply these lessons
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			if we don't take time to prioritize them
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			in our life listening and learning the life
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			of our messenger and thinking about how our
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:44
			life mirrors his we ask Allah Ta'ala
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			to give us all Tawfiq we ask Allah
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			Ta'ala to make us those that follow
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			him earnestly we ask Allah Ta'ala to
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			make us those that follow the book the
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			Quran and the sunnah of the prophet we
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			ask Allah Ta'ala to protect all of
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			us from all evil we ask Allah Ta
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			'ala to protect us all from hardships and
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			difficulty, we ask Allah Ta'ala to forgive
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03
			us, we ask Allah Ta'ala to envelope
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			us with his mercy we ask Allah Ta
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			'ala for those that have passed away that
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			he accepted them in the highest levels of
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			paradise we ask Allah Ta'ala that for
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			those who are sick that Allah Ta'ala
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			give them shifa we ask Allah Ta'ala
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			that for those that are being oppressed and
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			hurt like our brothers and sisters in Gaza
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			in Sudan and all over the world that
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			Allah Ta'ala be with them and give
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			them his security and his safety and his
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			blanket and we ask Allah to allow us
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			to be those that can keep continuing to
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			provide relief for them in our prayers and
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			in material support, we ask Allah Ta'ala
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			to protect any of our brothers and sisters
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			and those who are being afflicted by any
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			difficulty whether it be man-made or natural
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			like the fires in California, we ask Allah
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			Ta'ala to make us a mercy upon
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			humanity and mankind Innallaha wa malaa ikatahu yusalluona
