			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu me the Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:01:03
			Bring the people together, do what you can to bring people together to bring the hearts together.
Yes, I know at the beginning, it may not be the hearts. But when people see that you care for them
just because they're people that you love them because they're human beings and they have a right to
love. They have a right to brotherhood sisterhood, they have a right to know who their Creator is,
and how to manifest all of these aspects of brotherhood and sisterhood. This is the characteristics
of a Motoki. This is a characteristics of a mindful person, when someone has enmity towards another
person, and you're the one to call both of them up. And you mentioned the good points about each
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:51
			other. What was a good statement that one said about the latter, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam said that we can even lie to the degree of bringing people together, particularly brothers
in the faith of Islam. Why? Because we know in Islam, that one of the major objectives is heavily
Deen preservation of the religion. And if there is separation amongst the brothers and sisters, in a
community in a mosque, in a household that can only bring weakness to the oma to the community as a
whole on a worldwide level, and even on a domestic level. Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions in the
Quran was so high when he was talking about the spouses. That one thing that is good is sort of is
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:56
			bringing the people together. What I lost it kind of with that I also mentioned in the Quran,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			where
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:49
			Allah would Russell, well, that's a NASA Oh fighter, shallow water very hokum when Allah subhanho wa
Taala talked about not separating, he said, obey Allah and His messenger and do not separate but the
verb we use here literally is to pull out, do not separate from one another to where you are
crawling. And that quarreling leads to separation of the hearts, it leads to hatred, it leads to
enmity. This is why tribalism has its boundaries. This is why love of a human being has its
boundaries and the love of Allah subhanho wa Taala is endless. When bringing people together for the
sake of Allah for the sake of your love of Allah subhanho wa Taala that is the Muslim. That is the
		
00:02:49 --> 00:03:33
			one that Allah subhana wa tada loves. And that is the action of the McDuffie of the mindful person.
take it upon yourself, to bring people together, when people see that your only hopes was to bring
them together. They'll respect you in the end of the day, maybe not at that moment, they may not
show it, then they may take it for weakness. But when they see that you're someone that just wants
to bring the people together to make sure that we family and at the family stay strong. Because
people that do not have your best interests at hand. They love to see separation, because separation
brings weakness, and even no family even gives it as an example of the habit or you know, the actual
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:41
			rope that's tied around a sward or, or an arrow. He says as soon as it becomes loose, it gets loose,
that is when it becomes weak.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:09
			So let's look at our families. Look at our close friends, look at our communities, those that we may
not have a good relationship with, or maybe distant from, bring them together to the best of your
abilities. If there is any enmity or you see that image he may come be a Muslim. Be a person that
brings people together to ultimately bring the hearts together. cinematic rapper to light or better
