Ali Radi Allahu Anhu used to say to Fatima are the Allahu anha the
daughter of the prophets Allah loves him his wife
La ilaha illallah
either Sagnac Tito Iman for me yet
when you make food make it soft
not so that I can luxury you know not so that it's luxury eating
it's basically saying me that can make a smoothie and drink it. Just
blend everything together so I can drink it doesn't take me 10
minutes take me two minutes instead.
Literally that's what he's saying. So for my year who a EG and Houma
and huffy fan make it light and soft so that it just goes down.
I can just drink it like a porridge. Right? Subhan Allah says
in the banal ma eolia BC hum see, notice we haven't because between
something which is liquid like that, and soft and something which
is dry and hard, is 52 species even counted.
This will be Rahmanir Rahim Al Hamdulillah. Al Hamdulillah Hamden
Cathedral on a uban mobile or confy mobile I can add a camera
your Hedberg, buena LA or La Jolla, La Jolla who I'm unaware of
or solder to solder more either say you didn't have evil Mustafa
SallAllahu Darla on AQR the early he also we are Baraka seldom at
the Sleeman Cathy on Eli Hometeam.
Amar, beret.
We are on page 127.
It's aphorism a Heckman number 209. On page 127, this is how it
goes. It's also about the value of time.
And it's really interesting what he says today he says Marfa I mean
Romaric la
Omar Hassan Allah caminho la ke Metalla.
It's just the way he sees these things is amazing. My first time
in Hungary color Ivana
wama, Hassan Alica, we were lucky metal, which means that part of
your life that has gone by
whatever has been whatever is passed of your life
is irreplaceable.
There's no compensation for it, there's no way to get that much
more back here. Give me extra time, give me extended time.
The way I want us to think about it today is through a parable. If
a person is lucky enough to live for 80 years in this life 80 is a
good good age. A lot of people they actually before that, between
60 and 70. Some people go beyond 70 and lucky ones get to 8090. If
they've got a good life with good Eman, then they're lucky. They're
fortunate. So let's just take a person of 80 years old, how many?
How many days is that we could count that we could count how many
hours that is, let's just count how many seconds because
the smallest amount of time that we can do something and benefit
that is very valuable, valuable is probably a second Subhan Allah,
that Subhan Allah is more valuable than everything in this world.
Literally don't feel like it doesn't sound like it. Subhanallah
what's the Subhanallah people might be saying? But literally one
Subhanallah which will take you one second
is more valuable than everything in this world in terms of the
hereafter. So now how many seconds? Does anybody know how
many seconds there are in ATL life?
There are approximately, from a rough estimate of probably about
2.5 2 billion seconds 2.5 2 billion seconds.
That means that if we're about 40 years old, we've already done and
used up half of those seconds.
of 2.5 2 billion, we've already already used up 1.2 1 billion
seconds, if you're 40 years old. And you can make the hisab some of
you say oh, I've got a bit more than that. So I'm not 40 yet, I'm
still 2030. And some of you say well, I'm 50 and 60. So I've
really used up all my seconds. And that's just even if you live too
late, if you live less than that there's gonna be less seconds in
here. You just don't know when they're gonna stop. But let's just
go with 70 or 8080 years, that's 2.5 2 billion seconds. Now you
understand what he's saying? There's no way that if we've used
up
a million of those seconds, right, how many seconds in a day?
Right What is 60 times 60 times 24?
Any maths teachers here
So we've already used that much up. That's how much we use up. So
now he's saying that that part of your life, those seconds of your
life out of the two point, whatever billion that have gone by
already they're irreplaceable. You can't get extra time.
It's written, you can't get extra time. And that which has arrived
is priceless. He says, what he means by arrived, I don't know if
I like that translation, warmer, hustler Camino, whatever you've
attained in those seconds, wherever you've been. So if we
said Subhan, Allah wa Alhamdulillah, Allah when every
one of those seconds, absolutely priceless.
Just imagine if every Subhanallah is worth a tree in paradise.
That's a lot of trees, you've got a lot of space to fill, because
the last person out of paradise is going to have the size of this
world, at least, what 10 times the size of this world, and more. So
there's a lot of development work anyway. But either way, it's
priceless. That's what he's saying. So the way we look at this
today is
I think this is a really, really important theme to discuss, I will
discuss it for two sessions in different ways. This is another
way to discuss it, that every moment that is passed, that has
passed is priceless, because it can't be replaceable. And anything
you've done in it, whatever has been attained in it is absolutely
priceless. Because there's no way to get it again, you can get it in
addition, but you can't.
This whatever we've attained is already priceless. If we've
attained it.
So the way this has been explained is that literally that is our
capital, you can't do business without some skill or without some
kind of capital. So you can't live in this world without the seconds
that these 2 billion or so seconds that people have been given.
Right? If they're lucky enough, there's nothing you can do without
that. So Allah has given us this capital, here you go, these are
the seconds that I give you two point something billion seconds
that I give you. And it will be you know from that is your you're
going to get your profits, or you're going to just waste them
here and there. You're just going to lose them. And you're just
going to be extravagant, and you're going to waste them in the
wrong thing.
So anybody who's going to really, really push himself and make an
effort, then he's going to be from the fat is in fat is he means the
winners is going to be from the successful ones, the champions.
And on the Yahoo Phil batalla T with tuxedo. l bathala. With
taxied. condominial, ha serine. And anybody who has wasted the
seconds in idleness. batalla is idleness. So interesting word, but
it means falsehood. But Allah means to just basically go through
and do nothing in your life and be idle, and basically waste your
time.
What succeed and in any shortcoming, then they are going
to be from the hustling away, working on a book, it's nearly
done. It's called a double sofa, the etiquette of companionship of
how you really truly be a companion to one another about
social life. What are the rights that we owe one another, it's
amazing, the kinds of things that he brings up in the we already did
a series of lectures on there, I think about 17 or 27 lectures that
are already up there. But the book will be coming out soon in sha
Allah. And He literally says at the beginning, the reason I'm
writing this book, I've seen too much idleness, people wasting
their time, and people just being idle and doing nothing not being
productive. So that's why I wanted to write this book. And with a
focus on social life with a focus on how to fulfill one another's
responsibilities, essentially saying how to build you a flock
and character so that you make more people happy. And you bring
joy in this world, rather than Carnage and genocide in this
world. And you bring about good in this world and that way, the world
becomes a better place and you get more profit from it, make dua that
it comes out soon. So then he says,
whatever has been lost of those seconds in other than the worship
of your Lord, other than devotion to your Lord. Right, then there is
no way to get those seconds again to fulfill that because whatever
has gone will never come back. And if you did manage to do those
moments of worship, devotion, for the sake of Allah, whatever that
be, whether that be eating with the intention,
to strengthen ourselves to do worship, that means that those
1520 minutes you sat down to eat,
to bring joy to somebody, right to cheat, teach someone something or
to just get energy and just eat we do that all the time. You those
seconds are mashallah wellworth is
so it doesn't have to be doing Subhanallah all the time.
The consciousness of Allah can be in the heart and that's the
easiest vicar but it's the most difficult to imbibe.
Once a person begins to love Allah in such a way that he's constantly
thinking of Allah, then his every step he takes, in every thought he
does is going to have Allah in it and that's devotion.
So you won't be just when you're praying, Salat, when you got to,
to speak in your hand, or when you're moving your lips. When
you're reading Quran or something, no, it's going to be any moment.
And every moment because whatever you're doing, it's going to be for
that sake.
I'm going to earn a living because Allah wants me to earn a living
for my family, I want to earn a halal living, that consciousness
comes to and you're thanking Allah for every customer you get. If
your online sales and every order that you receive Alhamdulillah
Jazak, Allah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah, a chakra leela,
you're getting reward for that all of those moments suspense.
I'm doing this because sooner to do so. Look how many people I'm
able to help. If I make extra profit in this, I can assist
people, I can bring about joy to others, I can bring about relief.
There's a lot of ways to think about this. Otherwise, we're just
doing the same business. But it gives you just money, and no other
fulfillment.
That's why we tell people not do not teach your children just to be
an engineer or doctor,
teach them
to be a productive individual that will bring joy to people's life,
bring about ease in this world bring about goodness in this
world, through being a doctor, through being an engineer or
whatever you want them to be. So you'll still be the same thing,
you'll still get them they'll have a higher motive, and it will be
much more full of reward. And these will be holistic people,
wholesome people,
productive people, valuable people, high powered individuals
in the sight of Allah subhanho wa taala. Because every second of
this is directed, and it's not being wasted. So then he says that
if you were, if it was for sale, if seconds were for sale, and you
could transfer them to one another, he's basically saying
that if you were to try to buy one of these seconds, for to sell one
of the seconds for a whole world of goals, whole world full of
gold, you just got loads of it.
Like and another one for you happy, that would actually be
insignificant to the value of that second,
every second is
a whole world full of gold doesn't reach its value.
Because of the one Subhanallah Al Hamdulillah, who equity you could
say in there. That one moment of consciousness with Allah subhanaw
taala you can have in there, like gold does not equate to it.
Lay on the side, the men who do the karula who fee her
that's good Allah huffy her, then I'll be that he can mold can can
be run, because rather than exchange it for a whole world of
gold,
to just remember Allah subhanho wa Taala in that second, you will get
a bigger kingdom in the hereafter.
magining This is not an exaggeration because they say that
the person was just said La ilaha illallah once has never done
anything else, he still gets a paradise the size of this world.
That's just because you said it once with belief and that made you
a believer and gave you the ticket.
We're now even more keyman and these will be joys that will never
end they will be enduring forever and everlasting. Lobi it dunya
Behala Feriha Bella was minutiae in Arusha,
if they were to be sold,
or if the dunya entire world entire world was to be sold, they
wouldn't be able to reach even a 10th of the 10th of that. That is
why the best way to understand is that why do our religious,
righteous, pious predecessors why were they so concerned about their
time? Why were they so concerned about their time, because they,
they've figured out the value of it, they figured out the value on
it. That's why they did not suffice for themselves. They
weren't happy to just just lead an idle life. Their focus was to just
completely all the time be focused on doing something preserving
something, producing something, assisting something, teaching
someone and doing something about it.
They had no time for idleness no time for idleness a hadith says
learned that Dr. Lamb The sir I don't la escuela de la escuela
huffy her Illa Canada Allah He has certain yarmulke Yama.
Think of the meaning first? He says that any second I'm going to
translate this as it is just moment.
solitude means moment as a second just to make it practical for us,
no second passes upon any servant in this world in which he does not
remember Allah some way
it's gonna be a source of loss in the hereafter
doesn't mean you're gonna get punished for it.
Right? You might be sleeping with no intention, you may not get a
neutral state, you're not gonna get punished for that necessarily,
unless you miss Fajr as well.
But you're gonna think, oh, man, had I done something with those
moments and not slept that much not been on Netflix and not
finished five series of whatever it is, you know, over the
Christmas break the winter break, right?
And I've done something else, something more useful.
As I've said before, instead of watching so many documentaries,
some as not documentaries, so many of these series, right? And
there's just more and more coming out every day. Okay? There's just
more and more coming out every day.
Instead of that, God make some money, start a business. I'm
telling you, you start a business that sending something
whether that be Palestinian scarves, I don't know sell
something, man. Make that money and give it to the poor, help
somebody with it, or do something with it. That's at least better
than just watching and doing nothing. Seriously, get some
friends together, pull in 1000 pounds each 500 pounds it start a
business.
At least as soon
as you can help the Muslim world with it.
You can help the Muslim community and help people humanity when
you're just watching.
No way in history did they ever have so much.
So much time to waste. Just remember, you can only be
manipulated, if you're a person without principles with no goals.
You're a person who's just willing to adopt every new trend that
comes out every new entertainment that is out there, then you are
manipulatable. And that's how people want you to be that's how
the people in power. I don't want to get into conspiracy thing. But
that's 70 how businesses want you to be because then you're willing
to consume the content. Otherwise, you'll you're not your principal
guy, you don't do that kind of you have your principles.
If you don't have principles, and this is where the world is going
where the world is going, modernity, post modernity is
telling us to be without principles.
So that we're malleable, we're flexible. We'll take on anything
new that comes out without thinking about it. Because we
don't have any principles to guide us and to discriminate for us
what's good and what's bad. That's literally where we are in this
world right now. That is literally a good job. Yeah, Allah that we
have Islam that we can come and we're forced to pray five times a
day, at least once a week for Joomla for those who do that, at
least otherwise imagine where we would be without that.
People have nothing. They're just happy they've got Amazon Prime and
Netflix they just happy they've got that.
So now the second part passes by over a service in which it does
not remember Allah except that it's going to be a source of loss
in the hereafter. Man, I could have done so much more I would
have been in a better place. Let's see if we get to germinate Java.
It Radi Allahu Anhu Karim Allah Who says Bucky to hungry, live the
mullah summon
you drink behind me forget where you are ye Bihar mama and the
rest. So you have to take it from the rest of our life. We can't
talk about the past that's already gone. Right? So whatever is
remaining, he's saying that whatever is remaining of a
person's life, it has no value meaning is priceless, is you can't
give it a price. It's just too valuable. It's just too valuable,
is the only way it has it doesn't have the value by which he can try
to fulfill and make up for what he's lost. Or to try to enliven
what he what has died already. But at least you can try to not waste
those times as well.
The thing is that if somebody tries and asks Allah subhanaw
taala look, I've wasted 50 years of my life, 30 years of my life,
20 years of my life, then we hope that there'll be a boost somewhere
there'll be an upgrade somewhere in sha Allah with Allah, it's all
in his hands. So at least we can hope for that. But clearly, if
there's somebody who's been worshiping for 50 years and 20
years, you know we're comparing 20 years to 50 years. They got a
better chance but come on, man. We're not going to give it up for
that. Hey, you have not have wasted 30 years now let me just
waste the rest. The other 30 years. No, Allah is Masha Allah
Allah is amazing is very benevolent, very generous. He is
macrame is a chromium has the rigidity with a chrome Junaid Al
Baghdadi or the Allah
One who says, I'll work to either first Allah you stir the rock, any
moment that is lost can never be brought back. When he says shake
you and as mineral what the point of quoting all of these
individuals is to show that this is not an isolated idea. This is
something that every productive individual has thoughts about
forgetting Muslims, non Muslim productive individuals don't have
time to waste. Look at the secret of their routine or they don't
have time to waste. They don't waste time on Netflix, productive
individuals. You don't have time to waste. There's just too much
going on in the world. There's too much to produce. And the more
ideas you have, the bigger you know, the more you do, the bigger
the ideas, the more spin offs you can do, the more creativity that
you can have.
Like these guys, they get fired from one company, they go and
start another company, they already got so many ideas because
they know where things are going. That's why being productive is
important.
So remember, a person who's productive doesn't matter where he
gets fired from he'll do something else. In fact, that firing will be
a blessing in good do something else.
So that's why Junaid Rhodiola and even his talks, he says a time
that is lost can never be can never be made up again. And there
is nothing that is actually more valuable than time
may say that vicar is more valuable time but you need time to
do that or no. If you didn't have time that you did not spend in the
vicar Then what were you going to do the vicar is in the container
of time that's why time is the container which Allah subhanaw
taala has given us that's why there's a poem in Arabic it says a
Seebach a Siba Polen were fairland have the NAFSA hacerle must spooky
a saber Casimba Polen were fairland has very NAFSA has
throttle must spooky law. It says hurry compete compete to get ahead
like get ahead get ahead both in your speech and in your actions
and protect yourself from experiencing the loss of being the
one left behind must smoke is the one who gets left behind in Salah
to comes late. So don't be a smoke. Don't be left behind. Don't
play catch up. Be ahead. Hustle and bustle era Radi Allahu Anhu
says a drug to acquire a man can who Allah and Farsi him to him a
shed the HIV gun. Rasa Scheffer, Pata min km, Allah Denali, whether
he become a think of a millionaire who's tight.
Think of a think of a very wealthy guy who knows how to make money
and knows how to invest every penny is all his money is always
tied up, he can never help anybody else. Right, got loads of money,
but it's always tied up somewhere. So he can't help anybody else
because it's just making money for him. Right? There was a masjid
that was recently mashallah recently
founded, and the brothers, they were telling me that they went to
a guy who has a portfolio of properties, that gives him an
income of 700,000 pound a month.
That's a new house, that 700,000 is a decent house, you can get in
this area every month in buy 12 houses a year, he couldn't give us
he couldn't give any money to the masjid because he's probably
already found a property every month, there's a property on the
market 700 as they come, then he pays for it. He just money's tied
up. It's just tied up. And it's way more than you can ever do
anything in your life.
You have a lot more than you can do anything.
I was listening to somebody who went through that he used to work
for a big company. And he said I had an A 14 cars in my garage or
something. And eventually he says
I didn't have time to drive them. And cars have to be driven.
Otherwise, they get clogged up. Right? It had to then eventually
change batteries and you have to make sure that they get service
and it becomes a hassle. And he says once you get behind the
wheel, then it's all the same. They're all the same.
As long as they listen cars.
So that there is an end to this, there is an end to this. That's
why if we don't learn satisfaction and contentment with what we have,
then you're always going to be miserable. Because then you're
going to want to work more because you can't just get money like
that. You're going to want to work more you're going to take more
Gamble's you're going to take more risks, you could fall into haram
and you're just going to waste a lot more time doing that endless
nights sleepless nights because you're competing with somebody
else, and there's always something new coming out in the market.
Allahumma Salli, ala Sayidina Muhammad, so Hassan boss he was
saying that I have met people I have met certain individuals. They
were
more particular and careful and conscious about every breath of
this every second of this, they were more protective over it. And
they were a lot much more greedier and stingy with their time for the
sake of Allah and wasted, right?
More than any of you have a focus on your leaners in their homes. So
imagine this guy who makes a lot of money and he's got everything
ready to do deals and new deals and every bit of money that comes
in how focused is that guy on what his money is doing?
The whole day he's got different teams working on different assets,
different investments. This is what these guys were much more
particular about their time than money even though they can't see
anything about it with money at least you see a balance
increasing, you see a new asset coming along and new product
coming in, you know to experience this has nothing is just
experienced with Allah subhanaw taala but they got something that
they're given. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the experience
as well.
He says just like none of you would take an A spend his dyrham
or dinar except to get a certain benefit. Or to remove Yeah, to
provide some kind of benefit would you just put your with a person
who's so careful about his money? Do you think they're just gonna
throw money around and wasted? No, they won't. They're very
particular about it you know, the Allahu Anhu used to say to Fatima
are the Allahu anha the daughter of the prophets Allah loves him
his wife
La ilaha illallah
either Sagnac Tito Iman, for me yet who
when you make food, make it soft.
Not so that I can luxury you know, not so that it's luxury eating.
It's basically saying me that can make a smoothie and drink it. Just
blend everything together so I can drink it doesn't take me 10
minutes take me two minutes instead.
Literally, that's what he's saying. So for my Euro a is your
alguma and Haviv and make it light and soft, so that it just goes
down.
I can just drink it like a porridge. Right Subhan Allah says
in the banal ma eolia BC hum Sina this we have them because between
something which is liquid like that, and soft, and something
which is dry and hard, is 52 species even counted.
The sound like major exaggerations, even get to the
species and hamdulillah even if we can just remember Allah before we
eat and at the end or in between hamdulillah that's great.
This is from Allah subhanaw taala. As I said, this is the only way
we're going to teach our children to love Allah is the dinner table,
the dinner the star Han right is a place where we should always join
together and there needs to be some remembrance of Allah
throughout them. We discuss things and then you talk about Allah.
thank Allah for this food of hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah Lucado
Allah has given us just that kind of a discussion make it as organic
as possible. Meaning make the discussion as natural as possible
and the children pick it up their own. All of this comes from Allah
La ilaha illallah Abu Ali Al journey. Now the sky says my
mother, my mother, who loves the Mongol Urbina Senate and I've
never chewed bread for 40 years, I just gave up chewing bread.
Maybe the bread was a bit harder in those days now. Now you get
bread that is?
I don't know. Can you buy bread without the the outer core?
I think I think it'd probably be haram to buy the candidate because
we're going to put the corner giving football, you know.
And there's people who teach their children tweet like that. They
bring this pure white bleached bread, they cut off the edges and
then they feed their kids as though it's too tough for their
stomach. Poor kids man is so soft. So they take off the edges and
make them eat that
make them not eat that
and then expect them to become tough people afterwards.
For 40 years, why number A sophistry?
What I do is I just eat so weak so weak is a type of a wheat mixture.
I just need to dry I don't need to make bread with it. I just need to
dry. I'm not saying you need to do that. Right. But and what I will
do Liquiline Allah go back to remembering Allah subhanho wa
Taala I go back to remembering Allah subhanho wa Taala
and he says, We're not going to add it to my banal muffle. You
will bill AECT Netta spirit and I used to count that I couldn't
between chewing and just, you know, compared to chewing to just
swallow it. Right? It was 6016 Yes. 60 disease
Now, these aren't people who are sitting all day doing the speech
necessary, they're doing other work. But the thing is that
they're just saying that in the when you're eating, you can't
really do to speak with a full mouth can you write
with other words, you can still do this be at least
it can become a habit to do the speed.
If you keep trying, what happens is that whenever you have time
that you're just driving
20 minute drive, you will just, it's a good idea to keep at the
speed, like literally, you know, a, a beads, the STI beads, right?
That's literally the beads. I keep one on my indicator stick. So it's
their sparkling. So what you do is as soon as you drive, you just
take it in, as long as you can drive with one hand.
You can use the other one certainly gets quite a bit you
have to be careful. Some people they drive like this, they can't
move their hands, they're scared to move their hands, right? Then
it becomes but then you have to do something else. Maybe you can get
one of those displeased and stick it around the wheel and you can
just press on it.
It's just these are just excuses. So that you remind you otherwise
you forget. So I've noticed that all of these benefits, you're on
your bike, or you're walking, so you're just gonna walk anyway man,
you're gonna walk anyway, just get habituated to do this stuff fear
Allah Allahumma salli ala Sayidina, Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, you will see that mashallah then you can
literally get 1000s in a day, without even realizing it just
becomes part of your lifestyle, it has to become part of your
lifestyle. Otherwise, it's not going to happen. Because vicar is
not just having to sit down specially for it. It needs to be
incorporated in our lifestyle, the thought and some kind of
tongue involvement throughout the day and you just use different
excuses for that. I'm sure people have other ideas as well.
Then, it says that
the all our 24 hours right the hour, 24 hours of each day,
on the Day of Judgment, they're going to manifest they're going to
come out and appear in the form of 24
treasure troves lined up our 1234 or 567 24 of them for each day.
From encounter Amara for dunya we thought it La Raza in MU Robin
name anybody who used to focus on the seconds to make up these hours
he says you're going to find these huge boxes full of joys
full of happinesses full of gifts and bounties
woman cannot the Yamaha and whoever wasted them Raha in a
Ferrari Raha via is going to see the boxes, they're all going to be
empty.
There's nothing in them, nothing defined in them when you go there.
Playa de hacer la when it's when he's going to feel a huge sense of
loss is going to be very, very remorseful and very regretful.
There's a long narration that's mentioned is that it says that the
people of Jana while they will be enjoying their bounties, so
they'll people, they're going to Jannah they're enjoying their
bounties and suddenly what they notice above them in the skies,
right, they suddenly see a light
that
illuminates their property, their estate.
Imagine how I mean their estate is because this world illuminates
their estate as they look up and there's this light that's coming
up from there is just like the way the sun will light lights up the
day in the world. So they look and they see people up there is very
high up but they are able to communicate somehow so they see
people up there that are much higher than they are the alluring
Lee the the people of the highest chambers up there. Right.
And you can only see them the way you see the stars so they're
really up there now there's some special way of communication I'm
just focused summer and they've been given much more brighter,
illuminated luminous positions which are way above them.
So what they say is, they see them moving around to go to visit Allah

frequently visit Allah subhanho wa Taala
Fernando Runa la him you see rune Allah Lubin Deus Rahu be him Phil

This is not fair.
How can we've not been dealt with fairly? Why do they get that
access and we don't get that access Majan you've paid a huge
amount of money to get this five star property, this five star
hotel resorts and you go there and then suddenly there's certain
things that you can access, or that's for the diamond members.

suites, you know, for the seven hour flight from here to Dubai,
which passes by in two hours, we're gonna get him because like
20,000 pounds for a seven hour, six, seven hours, right? So you

Azerbaijan says in the home can we do rune? I got really, really

Just think of our brothers who are being hungry right now. Where
utter Shona Hina terone They were thirsty because the water had been
turned off the water supply had been turned off. They still call
on Allah.
Not thinking not not thinking that oh, you know, Allah does this why
should we
say they were thirsty when you are fully seated, seated.
We are on a Hina took sound.
They were naked they had less clothes when you are fully clothed
with Corona Hina 10 Seven and they were remembering Allah. When you
had forgotten they have to remember this. They got no other
way to be honest. But Subhanallah whether by force, whether by
compulsion, whether by voluntarily remembering Allah is remembering
Allah, what else are you going to do otherwise he's going to die
anyway. So why not remember Allah way Hakuna Matata Hakuna and they
were crying when you were laughing, laughing and way Hakuna
Hina Dinamo and they were standing in prayer when you were sleeping
were half and a half moon and they were under intense fear while
you're in safety and security.

and this is Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions, Allah mentions
Falletta Allah will have some healthier home in karate at UNE
Jazeera America and we are I don't nobody know knifes knows what has
been hidden from them of the joy of the sight of the gladdening of
their eyes that they will get as a reward for the they used to do
when I read this. It just made me feel a bit better. That is not all
in vain. And we know that it's not involved. It's just this gives us
a better understanding. It's not all in vain, Allah never waste
anything. Allah never waste anything. And remember any blood
spilt in the path of Allah subhanaw taala will bring Baraka
will bring Baraka it takes time though, but it's always brought
Baraka.
You think you think Turkey, Turkey itself, mainland Turkey, those
people came from the steps, they are not indigenous to the area.
All of these Turkic tribes that that situate themselves in Turkey
today, they're not natural that that was the land of the
Crusaders.
They literally took it over. And then they will literally many of
them were destroyed.
that Islam was destroyed.
They went through 7080 years of complete secularization and they
come back so much blood has been spilled on that area.
For the sake of Allah for the sake of Islam,
you know, through the cell jokes and
and the Ottomans and others is a baraka of that there's a bollock
of that.
As long as you value it.
And the way to protect the simple way to protect our time is has to
be a change of focus, a change of paradigm that look ultimately I
know
I'm gonna get everything in the hereafter This world is a
temporary place. And I get, I only need to get from here what is
functional, what is going to take me through. And
as long as it takes me through in a comfortable, decent, reasonable
way, we don't want to get a banger of a car so that you have to go to
the mechanic every day. That's not really the visit. You got the
money to buy a decent car that's not going to break down everyday,
that's fine. But you don't have to always have the latest car.
There's a balance in these things.
Yes, if somebody can give me a 10 year old car that they can say,
five years, you're not gonna go to a mechanic, I'll take it.
No problem.
You have to make these choices in life is to live a moderate life.
It's very important. The life is just getting too complicated,
though. Things are getting too expensive. People are charging too
much. And there's a reason for that. And that's when happiness is
gone. Have you seen how everything has become so expensive? Because
there's no Baraka? There's no Baraka insurance. Right? Even
though you have a no claims that no claims bonus is an absolute
fast deception. They make you pay to protect it.
But you don't really get much for it.
You bought a new car, or you've got a car that's worth saying for
30,000 pounds, your insurance purposes only going to cover
25,000 value, and then they make you buy a top up insurance and GAP
insurance. I waited to get that from what is this insurance about?
Its comprehensive insurance is not third party insurance. It's
comprehensive. That should have covered the 30. But no, no, no.
We're going to put it lower. So you have to buy an additional
insurance if you want 30,000 We what is that?
Cheating, deception. Everybody's trying to make more money.
A few a few months ago, a guy called me from this general area.
He says, I'm struggling. I make my salary is 180 1000 pounds a year.
And he says I'm struggling. What do you mean you're struggling?
80,000 partners? Are you crazy? What kind of build? What kind of
lavish lifestyle must you have? That's what I thought. It's got
three children is rent is about 2200 2300, which is quite cheap
for a three bedroom house. somebody's giving him so I asked
him how much do you spend this. So he literally is built his car. The
home is only 2200.
So that's about 5000 pounds a week, a month right now his salary
is about 5000 pound a month. Half of that goes in just less than
half that goes in rent. And then
would you call it the only extra he said is that he spent some like
some some amount of money on tuition for his for his student
because they struggle a bit. And he said, now it's become such that
even after 80,000 I have to sometimes go in overdraft
sometimes I have to go in overdraft. I don't retain
anything.
So like not everybody makes 80,000 People make 40 and 50,000 only.
I don't know, you know, it's just things are going crazy. Somebody
told me that they had a house they were renting the room out they
were renting the one bedroom place so to better known in Hackney for
he said we put it up for I think 600 a month.
There was a line and people were offering some like here 2200 We'll
pay you 20 206 700 over what he's asking for. They're willing to pay
that much. Where's the world going? Where? What's going on
here? Are we part of this?
Are we included in this way just hacking up the money. You know,
we've been selling these books for the last 15 years since 2004. We
haven't raised our prices
our cost prices have gone up we've hardly our books cost the same
manner and since the day this was published it cost 17 pounds. So
it's been the same price. We haven't hiked up the prices.
People are making crazy amounts of money What are you doing?
How can people live like this is when people have to spend too much
money they're struggling you're not going to get a happy
population that means people are going to be depressed in that
country that's not a good place to live.
Is the report about stolen goods stolen food items groceries that
are now being sold on the black market for cheaper so all it's
going to do is that it's going to be Robin Hood style.
People are going to steal from the rich to sell to the poor
not in a virtuous reason. But you know it's not the right thing to
it's not the right place. I mean in the last year things have gone
crazy in this country and I don't know where the market is there's
no Baraka left.
So this is where Sheikh Abdullah gonna go he says he says no
compensation can ever be offered for man's time that
has expired. Therefore the time that one obtains at present is
priceless. The entire earth with all of his possessions cannot buy
such a thing, which has the potential to bring everlasting
happiness. For one who uses it wisely. It is precisely for this
reason that the pious predecessors treasured their breathing, taking
a constant reckoning of every breath, never would they destroy a
single moment. According to a hadith, the moment that a seven
spends in forgetfulness will be a causal regret from him. But at
that time in the future, once one has passed from this world,
remorse will be of no avail. Because there's nothing you can do
once you've gone from here. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to
value every every one of these 2 billion plus seconds that we've
been given. And forgive us for our
Forgive us. Forgive us for the wastage that we've done working

take that out of our hearts of Allah, that you give us the

which is incorrect, which that protect us from idleness of Allah

them a lot of subbrand patients. Oh Allah grant them a high
resolve, and Oh Allah, Oh Allah allow us to do that which is
correct and beneficial. Oh, Allah bless everybody here all love less
all of us here less all of those who are listening. That's the
entire community Subhanallah bigger, mobilized by Yossi Fonasa,
when I was sitting on
the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our
Dean wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan courses so that
you can actually take organize lectures on demand whenever you
have free time, especially, for example, the Islamic essentials
course that we have on there the Islamic essentials certificate
which you take 20 Short modules and at the end of that insha Allah
you will have gotten the basics of most of the most important topics
in Islam and you will feel a lot more confident. You don't have to
leave lectures behind you can continue to live, you know, to
listen to lectures, but you need to have this more sustained study
