00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Because if there's going to be
anybody together in Germany, it's
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			going to be a husband and wife.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			So if you've got a very good
friend, you're not going to be
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			together in Germany in the same
house, he's gonna have his
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			Inshallah, and you're going to
have yours. But husband and wife
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			will be together in one house.
You're not even going to be with
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			your son or daughter, mother or
father, everybody's going to have
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			their own. The unit is the husband
and wife. So who more than in
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			terms of companionship to fulfill
these rights for
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			and a lot of these are extremely
beneficial. And I guarantee you
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			there'll be people sitting
listening to this will be thinking
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:37
			that yes, if this will be my
solution for my marital problem is
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			that hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
wa salatu salam ala moana Ruthie,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:49
			Ramita Narada me who are the heal
Safi of our cosa limita Sleeman
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:55
			Kofi on Isla young at America as
Allah Masha Allah and he continues
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:01
			with expounding on the different
rights that brothers have over
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			other brothers, people have
between them. He says well
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			Manhattan yard and Alliander Allah
Who behind the car for call
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			Michelle, my mother in law he he
behind the the car in rural Cuba
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			with Dhaliwal his
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:21
			one of the other rights that we
need to have between us is do not
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			look at your brother do not look
at your fellow
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			with the eye of disdain. Because
nobody really knows in the sight
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			of Allah subhana wa Tada what that
person holds.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			They may be doing some strange
things right now, but nobody
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			knows. I mean, the action, the
staining the action is one thing,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			but the staining the person
believing that they have no
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
			possibility, no potential for
improvement reform are going to
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			Janna. That's essentially what it
comes down to anybody. So
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			especially when you're trying to
benefit from somebody, when you've
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			got friends, and you have some
friendship with somebody, then you
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			should definitely not look at
somebody with the eye of disdain.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			The Roland law mentioned that
anybody who looks at his brother
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			with this I have disdain, then he
himself will be punished with
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			humiliation,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			humiliation and disgrace.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			In a hadith mentions that anybody
who looks at his brother with an
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			eye of it seems like a weak
Hadith, but anybody who looks at
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			his brother with with love, then
sins are forgiven.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39
			Another right of a brother over
another brother is either taller
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:43
			or even fee. And yet the hem NAFSA
who vivatic were cool in the
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			methodical I will fear then the
Muslim or non Muslim.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			One is that if you ever come to
know about a defect in your
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			brother, a fault of your brother,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			whatever that fault is, maybe
drives bad.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			Maybe it's too much.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			Maybe he smokes, you know, you
didn't know. And then suddenly,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:11
			one day you discover the guy
smokes, you smelt it, or you saw
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			him
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			and he's trying to hide it.
There's a lot of people who tried
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			to do they try to hide their
smoking habit, because most
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:22
			smokers they're not very happy
about their habits. They love to,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:27
			they'd love to get out of it. But
those initial days of fun.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:32
			Unfortunately, they have deep
roots. It's very difficult. A lot
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			of people in Ramadan they do give
up I know a number of people I
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			know a number of people have given
up again, it's just a mind over
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:38
			matter
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			and a bit of suffering but
inshallah happiness afterwards. So
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			anyway, you discover something
about somebody. So what should you
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			do?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			I went to somebody's house,
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			somebody I know well,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			and he's got a toilet outside
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			a bathroom outside. And
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:08
			I just happened to go there and I
saw these cigarette butts. It's an
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			unused bathroom.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			But that's where he does his
smoking.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			Now, I just discovered that I felt
bad about it, but how are you
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			supposed to deal with this? So
this is when you discover now even
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21
			somebody.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			So it says that if you discover an
ape in somebody, then
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			a person should accuse themselves
of it.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			What that means is, he should say
that
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			I may have a similar type of a
fault.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
			Because the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam said, the believer
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			is a mirror of another believer.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:52
			And whenever a person looks into
the mirror, they're going to see
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:57
			themselves. So if I'm seeing
myself in my brother, then that
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			fault is really mine. It's
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			communal fault in a sense, at the
end of it, so don't just blame him
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			for that fault, but blame myself
for the fault as well. And this
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:13
			will help us to deal with the
toxic aspect of it. How do we deal
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			with it? Because I may have a
fault as well like that. And I
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21
			would like to be treated likewise.
And not for my faults to be told
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			to others as well. So just
remember that a believer is the
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			mirror of another believer.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			So when we look at others, we're
seeing ourselves
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:38
			somebody stayed in the, in the
company of Abu is Huck.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:45
			Ibrahim is one of the great pious
Salaf.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			He stayed with him for a while.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:55
			Ibrahim, many of you may know he's
originally from bulk. He was the
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			he was royalty. He was a prince.
He was the children of some of the
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			leaders of that area. But he
decided to give all of that up.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:09
			And he became known for great
level of scrupulousness. So much
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			so that if he wasn't 100% sure
about the food that he was eating,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			he would suffice when eating,
soiled or something like that,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			just so that nothing haram went
into his stomach.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:25
			His one of his very famous dogs is
Allahu Melkonian zhu li ma
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:32
			sciatica lrsd to artic, O Allah,
take me from the humiliation of
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			disobeying you to the honor of
obeying you. That was a constant
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:41
			do obvious, which is a wonderful,
take me away from the humiliation
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			of disobeying you because that's a
humiliation really, it's a
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:52
			humiliation to the to the honor of
obedience. So somebody stayed with
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			his company for a while. And when
it came time to depart, he said to
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:02
			him, he said to Chef Abraham, tell
me what have you seen in me?
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:08
			What defects have you seen in me?
Now is the honest, sincere person
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:13
			trying to correct himself? He
says, What do you see in me? He
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			said, Yeah, coffee.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			In de la hora loca, I even I don't
see any defect in you.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			The person is probably saying,
I've got so many defects, is he
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			lying? Is he not telling me it
says I don't see any defects in
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			you.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			That he explained why he says I
need love to KIRBY I in invaded,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			because I've been constantly
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:42
			assessing you, and approaching you
with an eye of love. And I have
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:42
			affection.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			So for Stetson to mean karma,
right? Everything that I've seen
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:53
			of you, I've always looked at it,
in a way with good meaning.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			I've basically
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			I've liked everything that I've
seen.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			First of all, Haley and I Ubik
gonna ask somebody else about your
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:10
			defects. Because I don't, I can't
give you any defects. I've just
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			been looking at you with an eye of
affection. So there's no way that
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			I can see any defects. So
essentially, it's like looking at
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			somebody you know, with that
initial period of romance where
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			you don't see any defects. If only
that kind of period, even with the
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			spouse, all of these things that
we're speaking about, if somebody
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			can just act like that with their
spouse, who is the lifelong
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:35
			companion. In fact, the spouse,
the husband, wife, is such a
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			companion, that it's not limited
to this world.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			Because if there's going to be
anybody together in China, it's
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			going to be a husband and wife.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			So if you've got a very good
friend, you're not going to be
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			together in Germany in the same
house, he's going to have his
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			Inshallah, and you're going to
have yours. But husband and wife
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:56
			will be together in one house,
you're not even going to be with
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			your son or daughter, mother or
father, everybody's going to have
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			their own. The unit is the husband
and wife. So who more than in
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			terms of companionship to fulfill
these rights for
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			and a lot of these are extremely
beneficial. And I guarantee you
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			there'll be people sitting
listening to this will be thinking
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			that yes, if this will be my
solution for my marital problem.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			Why you ridurre and kuliah, even
Karela to uncover and nine a Sati
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			took dill Messiah, we
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			says that whenever you look at
something with an eye of
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			satisfaction,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			then
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			it will be blind of all types of
defects.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:42
			If you if you're an Apple fan, Mac
fan, you don't see any defects,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			you only see the defects in a PC.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			And if you're a PC person or an
Android person, you see defects in
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:52
			the apple. If nothing else, you'll
see that the apple is bitten
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			is not a complete apple. So this
is the level we go to. When it
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			comes to these kinds of things.
You will
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			Notice these things for the Apple
fan when he looks at the Apple
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:07
			phone. That part that's that
special even though it's bitten
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			off and it seems defective, that
is the quality but that is the
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:16
			significance. For somebody else,
it looks like something else. So
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			you can look at everything in two
different ways. Another rites of
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			between brothers is a Yara NAFSA.
Who do not who Allah the worm.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			A person should always consider
themselves to be inferior to their
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			brother all the time.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			That I'm not better than him.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			A person should always consider
themselves to be lower than their
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:38
			brother.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			And this is not just trying to
make it up like that. But Allah
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			Sabine in your team should
actually believe that. You might
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			think that's difficult, why that's
overdoing it.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:55
			Why should you do that for a while
because none of you none of us
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			really know who's better in the
sight of Allah Dewey.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:03
			None of us know who's better in
the sight of Allah. So why
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			shouldn't we think that?
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			You might say, well, he's a big
sinner. Well, he might be a sinner
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			right now. But tomorrow, he may
not be a sinner. We may be seen as
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			tomorrow, because we haven't died
yet.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			There's no guarantee we haven't
been sealed yet. The hartham
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			hasn't happened. That's why they
say that, in the Malama Logan,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:29
			Hala team actions are according to
the ceiling states, how they end.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			So our life how it ends is really
what's going to matter.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			That's what you call a seeding
state. That's why we ask for
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			personal hajima
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:44
			means a good seeding states a good
ending, that's why the prophets of
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			Allah, his dua was Oh Allah make
the best of my life, the last of
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			my life.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:54
			Hydra yami hero, the best of my
days the last of my days, so we
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			never know. So when I read this
first I thought that's maybe is
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			that a bit overdoing? And how do
you do that? says no, you haven't.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:04
			Sabina yaki la isla Seville is no
new attack mean, this is not just
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			speculation on your part that he
may be better than me. Or
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			estimation node believes that he
is better than you
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			forgot Carlu manlam yara NAFSA who
do nothing he let me interfere
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19
			with Sabeti he, he is saying this
for a different reason. If you've
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:24
			got a friend, then how can you
benefit from somebody? How can you
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			benefit from a companion, you can
only benefit from them, if you
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			feel they're superior to a certain
degree, if they feel they've got
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			something if you feel they've got
something to offer you. That's why
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			one of the things that
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			my wife always gives us advice to,
you know, for married couples is,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:46
			especially for women is that never
get married to somebody that you
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			will not have respectful.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			Don't get married to somebody that
you don't think is superior to
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:55
			you. Because you know the
hierarchy of a married life,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:59
			especially in Islam. And in
general, but especially in Islam,
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			the husband being the head of the
household as such, right?
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:09
			Then it requires this this respect
for the Islamic respect that a
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			wife has to give her husband. And
of course, the honor by which the
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			husband has to deal with his wife,
the dynamic requires that you feel
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			that you've got respect. But this
doesn't mean that the husband then
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			has to feel the wife is inferior
to her, she should have a lot to
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			offer him as well. And it should
be a belief of full conviction.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:36
			So that's why Subhanallah some one
woman said that they would,
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40
			there's no way that I can get
married to and again, this is just
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			a personal perspective. You know,
she's from England, she doesn't
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			believe that she can get married
to somebody from India or
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:51
			Pakistan, just because I don't
want to be ungrateful.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			He may have all the qualities but
because the language will be a
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:00
			barrier for me that may just put
in my mind and inferiority aspect.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			Again, this doesn't have to happen
with everybody. Because there's a
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			lot of people who come from
outside, we have great qualities
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			and the language is not a barrier
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:13
			at all. But for some people it's a
barrier depends on what your your
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:17
			point of view is and what you are
concerned about.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			But with any companion that you're
going to be with, consider that
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			they've got something to offer
you. So the way you can do that is
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			look for their good points.
Believe me, you can do that with
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			any company. I've had the occasion
to travel with many different
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			people, you know, something like
that. You have to find a way to
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			benefit from them. There's no
point in just sitting there, you
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:41
			know, in a long journey, and you
think, I can't get anything out of
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:45
			this. We should always be learning
and benefiting. And the way you
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			can do that is by seeing what
somebody can
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			offer you. Ebola Hey, Bashar
ready? The great shake he says
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58
			Lamar Alima Lula and Nicola Anna
Burton Lyon bitwala youth Marilla
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			be it
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			Get ready he titled aren't TyLoo
will Urgell Gerald Luna Fusa who
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			are the lil Cooley?
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:11
			This is the way that people have
Allah think. He says that when the
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:18
			people of Allah, the Olia when
they realize that any plant, any
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:22
			growth, any organic growth, any
anything that organically grows,
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:28
			does not grow or bear fruit,
except by being under the ground
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:32
			and covered by the Earth upon
which the feet of men walk.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:38
			They can only grow after that
happens, after you've covered it
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:42
			with the soil. after things have
gone over it, only then does it
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			bear fruit and grow, when they
realize that that's the way
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			organic things happen, then they
also made their new foods
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			themselves,
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:56
			the land for everybody, that
everybody can take benefit from
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			them,
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			essentially put yourself down,
then your growth will come.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			They say that somebody who comes
fresh fresh out of college or
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			mothers or whatever it is, and
then he gains immediate
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			popularity.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			He's in a very critical state.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			If you get fame too quickly, it's
in a very, because it gets to your
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:21
			head, and you want more of it.
That's just the way famous you
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			want more of it, you want more of
it. And if you lose it, you feel
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:28
			that you're losing some of it,
then you will use unethical ways.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:32
			Initially the fame came in ethical
ways. Allah gave you some kind of
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			Ghoulia as a test, and then it got
to your head.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			That's why the procedure that
they're explaining here is what
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:45
			the Hadith mentions Manta, Wilder,
Allah, He Rafa hula, anybody who
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			humbles himself, then Allah
subhana, WA, tada will raise them.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:54
			So if anybody's become famous too
fast, then they should realize
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			that this could be a test for
them. And they should be very,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00
			very careful. In fact, according
to say, the IDN Wafaa, he says
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:07
			that the Earth has been spread out
so far, despite being the earth,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:11
			it's the most spread and extensive
thing that we know. Because to
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:16
			teach you, the Waldo to teach you
humility. So if you also Humble
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			yourself, like the Earth, you will
also become more extensive.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:26
			your sphere of influence will also
be extended, though that's not why
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			you should do this. should do it
for the sake of Allah subhanaw
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:29
			taala.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:34
			I get these questions from some of
the students sometimes saying,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			this certain teachers of ours, I
see that they're not eating with
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:44
			three fingers. There are certain
outward faults I see on them. Now,
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			clearly, what happens in to young
people, when they start the
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			mothers or when they start
studying is that they want to see
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			the Prophet sallallahu.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			They want to see their teachers as
the Prophet.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:01
			Nothing wrong, perfect, you know,
it's not going to happen. We're
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			not living in those kinds of times
anymore.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:08
			We all have defects. As I said,
Yes. You know, we read yesterday
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			as well that the greatest person
will have some defects. So when
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			you don't notice that it becomes
shaytaan that makes that a barrier
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			for you to benefit from such a
person, their lectures, their
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			teaching, when I see him who think
well, you're not fully practicing,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:26
			well, you're not fully practicing.
It says in there that as long as
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			it's not something shut Ihara um,
then do not consider that to be a
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:29
			big problem.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			Eating with three fingers is a
sunnah, but it's not haram to eat
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			with five, or with your whole
fist. For that matter, though,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			they're discouraged that some
cultures just have the whole fist
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			as their way of eating.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			It does look a bit strange when
you first see it, but for them,
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			it's quite normal to make rice
into bowls with their whole fist
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			and throw them in their mouth.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			But that's just the way different
cultures are.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:59
			So, Imam now he says, Now Imam No,
we used to study 12 lessons a day,
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			an hour each.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			So he used to study for 12 hours,
he used to take 12 different
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:08
			lessons. He had 12 additional
hours of the day to do the rest of
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			his work and eating and
everything. We've taken 12 hours
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			of lessons not for the feminine,
but our lessons you can imagine
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:20
			and he died at a very young age.
So he says that he used to make
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:26
			dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala
that Oh, Allah Valle my teachers,
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:31
			faults from me. Don't let me see
my teachers false.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			Because that would become a
barrier. If I saw them it would
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			become a barrier for my benefiting
from him. I'm there for a reason.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			He's got Hadith. I want to take
that hadith from
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:47
			he's got the seal. I want to study
the FSI from him. He's got thick I
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:50
			want to acquire my filter
jurisprudence from him by see
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			certain other defects.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			It's going to become a barrier.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			And there's two verses that he
quotes in this regard. He says
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			further to the court and full
circle
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			We're at the moody money taka. Do
not purify yourself yourselves
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			because Allah knows.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:11
			Allah Allah Allah is most aware of
who really has Taqwa. And in Aqaba
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:16
			command Allah He called them. The
most noble among you, is the one
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19
			who has the most taqwa and decoy
something in the heart. So it's
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			very possible that the one you're
looking at, though he may have a
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			few external faults here and
there, he may not be eating with
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:30
			three fingers. But he may have
motor coordination. Because eating
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			the three fingers is not a
guarantee of Taqwa. Though it's a
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			great sin.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			The person may have a more pure
heart than you have his knee and
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:45
			may be more pure. And his actions
may be more particular than you.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:53
			That's why a person should never
feel too mighty, too big to study
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:58
			from somebody who's younger,
somebody who's younger, somebody
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:03
			who's not of the same social
standing as us, or even indeed,
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:08
			the person is not as knowledgeable
as us. For example, I want to
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			refresh my
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			my knowledge of the seven Tirat.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:21
			I can't find many other Ma, who,
around the area that I can go and
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			study this way. So a student has
come
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			who's studying the seven karate,
and he's nearly finished.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:33
			So I graduated years ago. You
know, he respects me for my
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:37
			knowledge of what he thinks I
have. But I've actually approached
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			him to say after the heart during
Ramadan, can, can I come and
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			refresh my garage with you because
he's just studied at a fresh, I
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48
			haven't done it for a while. So
I've approached him and he's
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			probably less than half my he's
probably half my age or less than
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			that. Because when it comes to
knowledge, you want to have
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			knowledge, well go and get it.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			Knowledge is there, the person is
just a carrier, the knowledge is
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:04
			Allah's knowledge. So don't let
these things become a barrier is
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			very important, as you many
missionaries of the past who have
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			had teachers that are younger than
them.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			And there's a special category for
them in Hadith as well rewired
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			will occur with middle Assad,
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:20
			transmitting narrations, the older
people transmitting narrations
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23
			from younger people than them
because somehow they went far and
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			wide and got a narration that they
didn't have.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			Another
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:35
			right between brothers is always
to give them preference over
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:39
			ourselves. Now that's understood
to give somebody preference over
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			ourselves, especially with
friends, it's very important.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			Because they've said that lie a
sudo. I don't either have Qurani
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:51
			in a thorough home island.
Whatever the other What am you
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:54
			shoddy config, Seamus, the sheriff
at either universal
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:59
			nobody. If you really want to be a
leader, and you truly want to be
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			honored, then understand this
rule.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:08
			Nobody becomes a leader over his
peers. Nobody gains honor over his
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:15
			peers. Unless this individual
gives others his peers. preference
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:20
			over themselves, bears their
annoyances, because people can be
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:24
			annoying, without wanting to be
there's their tolerates that
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:28
			annoyances you're going to have to
be tolerant person who gets angry
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			on things that go wrong.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			Very difficult. You've heard that
story when you're young, maybe
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:40
			have that Princess who could also
nullsec sensitive, right? That she
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:44
			could feel if the bedding wasn't
straight and it was even like as
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			like a like a small seed
underneath. She could feel it. So
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:52
			even if it was over 10 mattresses,
she could still feel it. It gets
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:56
			in his pocket. Right? And what
kind of sensitivity is that? How
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			can you live your life like that
Allah protect us from that kind of
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			stuff? Okay, I do have some
problems as well. I can't take
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:07
			London water. I just don't enjoy
it. So it's it's a suffer. I mean,
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			it's a calamity. I think. I can't
I mean, I don't feel the
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			satisfaction at all when you drink
the London water. I've been out
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:18
			too long. And really London what
it is really I'm really sorry for
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			saying this here. I have to buy my
water it's our job I think to a
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:25
			certain degree. But you just don't
enjoy it. You go to Birmingham you
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			drink a glass of water you feel
satisfied. You go to Lancashire
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			Yorkshire you feel good with the
water there but London Leicester
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			the water is just not that great.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			I don't know if any of you have
that problem. If you do then ask
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:41
			Allah for for release from him. I
insist with my children. No you
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:45
			drink your love because I mean if
you have to buy your water and you
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:49
			can't just go to a tap and that's
that's another lesson as zakat so
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:53
			not all kinds of sensitivities are
good, yes sensitivities from bad
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			things and evil things and from
dirt and impurity. That's a good
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			thing. That a person is very
careful about His Messenger
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			and all that that kind of Nazakat
is very good, because it will keep
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			you pure and clean.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08
			Unless it's to a degree that you
have to have a shower five times a
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:08
			day.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			You know, that gets a bit extreme
in anything.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:19
			So, a person has to tolerate
people's annoyances. And number
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:24
			two, that you do not become a
competition in the things that
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:29
			then that desires, what that they
desire. This is based on a hadith
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			that the Prophet sallallahu sallam
said is heard.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			for dunya you hymnbook Allah was
her femur in the nurse your hip
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			brokenness, what that means is
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			abstain from
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			or exercise restraint from the
world and Allah will love you.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			Because the competition for Allah
subhanho wa Taala is our love for
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			the world. The more you love the
world, the more or less the less
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58
			you worship Allah subhanho wa
taala, the less we respect him. So
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			that's the competition there,
there is no competition, but
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			that's the competition worlds.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			We've made it a competition
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:09
			and abstain from what is in the
hands of people, and they will
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			love you because they don't see
you as a competition. Most
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:16
			problems, jealousy, arrogance, all
of these things happen because
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			they you see, you perceive people
as a threat.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:25
			You perceive, and it's your
superiority under stake.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:30
			That's why when you see somebody
simple and doesn't, then you like
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			that person just naturally. So
simple. People are more beloved to
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			people than others.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:39
			Simple people generally get by
with everybody. And people with
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:43
			some talent, they have to win
hearts of people, and they will
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			win some and they won't win
others. That's why people with
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:53
			talent will always have envious,
envious because you've got
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			something that others want.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:00
			So you either win over people,
which is not always possible. But
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:04
			if you don't, then just you're
gonna have to, you're gonna have
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:08
			to understand that your normal
hedger at a shelter that summer
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:13
			stones are only thrown at trees
that bear fruits, not in trees
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:17
			that don't have any fruits. So
just understand that that is going
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			to happen. You're going to have
people who will be jealous of you,
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:24
			or who will attack you. It's
normal. So anybody who wants to
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:28
			become honorable among his peers,
he's going to have to bear with
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:32
			these three things. The next write
he speaks about between brothers
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:37
			is a Dima who is Marilla to be at
his service when he especially
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			when he's sick, to serve him when
he's sick.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:45
			For conduct Dakka Dakka roo annual
photo worth a fee hit metal, Juan.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:51
			They've mentioned that
magnanimity, magnanimity, right is
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:56
			for two for two is this quality
inside a person which encourages
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:02
			you pushes you inspires you to
spend to spend and be generous to
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			others.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:10
			It increases, preferring others
over oneself increases that
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:14
			ability for us to prefer others
over us. You've just got something
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17
			really nice. Somebody said, Oh,
that looks really nice. I mean,
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			I'd love to have one of those.
Here you go, brother. It's a very
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			difficult thing to do. The
province of Assam does that
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:28
			the province of the Lifesum
received a very expensive garment.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			I can't remember exactly which
garment it was. It's in the
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			Shamaya extremely
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38
			valuable garments. And
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:42
			somebody came in said, Oh, I'm in
need of something like this. And
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:46
			the Prophet sallallahu Sallam gave
it. Others went and told that
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:49
			person off said that the prophets
Allah some received that and he
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52
			was in need of it. It's not like
he had 10 garments, you know,
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:57
			like, five pairs of shoes and
seven jackets. And normally this
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:00
			was something he had one of that
he needed. But the problem was on
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			Magnum unity was just amazing. And
you'll see it on the Day of
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:08
			Judgment when even the other
prophets will be saying knifes
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:12
			enough See, he'll be saying
Almighty Almighty, He is just
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:17
			concerned about us. Like he's the
highest level of footwear that you
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:17
			can have.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:23
			So he says that, that if you have
footwear, it means you're going to
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:27
			be assisting others and serving
others. And generally people who
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30
			serve others, they get the most
respect they get the most people
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:34
			like such people, they the people
remember them, especially after
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:38
			the death, more people will go to
that person's janazah if you want
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			people to increase you know, if
you want a lot of people to come
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:45
			to your funeral, then serve
others. That's one definite way
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			you'll get you'll get people at
your funeral because you will feel
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			that obligation because at the end
of the day at the heart of
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:56
			our essence, our core is an
internal Abdullah Hassan that's
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			what this is saying. That the
human the inside
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:07
			is a slave of goodwill, a slave of
goodwill. Anybody who shows us
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			goodwill, we become their slaves
whether we like it or not. Right?
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:14
			It's not a bad thing. It's just
that when it comes to death where
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:18
			people will go That's why Junaid
Al Baghdadi another one of the
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:22
			great like Ibrahim Adham that we
speak spoke about this Junaid Al
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			Baghdadi, he mentions
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:30
			Jamba he will insert a Dima is
one, it is necessary for a person
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:35
			to serve his brothers. So my
artisan lamb under whom alcohol
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:36
			may be watching we have to him.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:44
			But then after that, to make
excuses to them, that I've been
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:48
			unable to fulfill your complete
rights to serve your brother, they
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51
			come to your house, you're going
to help them somehow. But then to
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			say, I'm really sorry, I couldn't
do it as much as I should have
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			done it as much as was due to you.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			When you could roll a home bill
here and a tiara and
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			instead look, I
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:07
			wasn't able to fulfill it
completely. In fact, you should
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:13
			you should think he says that I
could have done more, but I didn't
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:13
			do that
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:20
			one hour anima and the WHO buddy
OSA he should declare, he should
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:25
			declare that I'm guilty of not
doing this. So a person then must
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:28
			confess of betrayal that I've
actually betrayed you because
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:31
			betrayal means that I didn't
fulfill what should have been
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:35
			done. I had shortcomings in this
regard, even though he knows that
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:39
			he's free of that. But then he
makes a clarification just in case
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:44
			somebody takes this to an extreme
unless by your expressing that
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:48
			you've betrayed him. You're going
to get a penalty or a court case
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:53
			against you. Right? This Junaid Al
Baghdadi his name was double
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:53
			costumer.
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:58
			He is considered the Imam of the
Sufis, the Imam of the piezo heard
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59
			of the past he's agreed upon.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04
			He's agreed upon. He was
originally from the heartland
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:10
			which is in Persia. But then he
was brought up in Iraq, and he was
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:16
			Shafi for tea. We started with a
booth our and his uncle was Surya
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:20
			circuity, one of the other early
pious ascetics that we that are
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:25
			famous Ibrahim Adham Junaid Al
Baghdadi Surya Sakata you by us
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:29
			either stormy These are like the
famous, the really famous ones
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:33
			that you've seen all books of zoo
heard and, and so Wolf and all of
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36
			this. So he is one of them. His
uncle was Surya circuity.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			He also stayed with Harrington
Mahasi be another one is very
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:46
			famous. He died in 297. He's the
one who said, you know there's
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49
			some soupy Sufis, they get a bit
exotic and they start doing weird
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:53
			things and everything. So the
biggest evidence comes from the
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:57
			Imam of them. Who's the Imam of
the real Sufis, who says a total
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			Kulu Hamas do the
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			Al Halki Illa Allah monitor for a
thorough Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:07
			alayhi wa sallam, all the paths to
Allah are closed
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:13
			upon the creation, except for the
one who follows in the footsteps
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:16
			of Rasulullah sallallahu Sana, so
it's only the Sunnah that's the
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:21
			true the soul and purity armor has
an attorney got the sole final
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:26
			clean wakame we did not take our
dissolve from just hearsay, from
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:30
			what people said so and so said
and so on. lurk in annual jewelry.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:35
			We're talking duniya Walcot Ilma
LUFA tivol Mustafa nuts, but we
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:40
			took it by through hunger. We took
it by being hungry, by abandoning
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:44
			the dunya and by severing our
relationships with things that we
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:49
			loved. That effected us and things
that we considered to be nice, but
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:54
			they were not nice. So he was a
true Sufi in that sense. So this
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			is this is his statement.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:01
			Will miroir Hey Michelle, Vinny
says Manta Azizah Allah hizmeti
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:06
			whiny anybody who thinks himself
too high and mighty to serve his
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:09
			brothers wertha Hula Goodland la
INFICON Allah Who women who
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:14
			abandon Allah subhanho wa Taala
will bring about for him a
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:19
			humiliation that he will never be
able to remove. If you think
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:23
			you're too good to help others,
woman Halima Juana who this is
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:26
			based on his experiences mentioned
in this way, and from certain a
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:29
			hadith maybe, but then he says
woman hottie May, Juana who
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:33
			anybody who serves his brother's
birth team in Harley seat, Armani
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:36
			him, then anybody who serves his
brothers, he's also given a share
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			of the best of their actions.
Because you are facilitating it's
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:45
			like, if I feed somebody Iftar
even a date just to break their
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:49
			fast with I get the reward of
proportion of their fast, they
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			also get the reward I also there's
lots of reward where it isn't and
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			there's not going to be any
deficiency in their reward. But I
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57
			also get reward. That's why if
somebody is offering dates, you'd
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:00
			rather have somebody else's date
than your own date because
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			Then you're giving somebody else
the chance to also get some
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:02
			reward.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:10
			It's like, if I've got access to,
to a lounge and I can take
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:14
			somebody else in I may as well
take him in with me. It's not
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:17
			going to cost me any extra. I lose
that opportunity. I've lost it.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			You know, every time I go in, I
can take somebody else with me. So
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:25
			let me take somebody when I think
will insha Allah stop here? We'll
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:26
			carry on tomorrow in sha Allah.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30
			Allah whom and the salam amikacin

who take a full, a full share of
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:25
			your mercy and your blessing
during this month. Oh Allah allow
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:30
			us to fulfill your obligations and
make and be obedient to you. of
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:33
			Allah allow us to make resolutions
in this month, so that we can
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:37
			follow for the rest of our life
that will make us better in some
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:40
			better individuals and closer to
you. Oh Allah grant us your love
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:43
			during this month. And Oh Allah,
whatever we gained during this
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:47
			month, allow us to endure and keep
it for the rest of our lives. Well
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:51
			Allah make the best of our lives
the last days of our life. Oh
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:55
			Allah, Allah, Allah, we ask that
you bless us, and bless our
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:59
			families and protect us and our
families and our progeny until the
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:02
			day of judgment from all the evils
that are out there. of Allah, each
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:05
			one of us wants closeness to you.
That's why we're sitting here
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:09
			today in the masjid. Oh Allah
that's why we're sitting here. Oh
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:13

			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam Subhan Allah because Allah
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:44
			is merciful and was Saddam in our
city in 100 Live
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:53
			the point of a lecture is to
encourage people to act to get
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:59
			further an inspiration and
encouragement, persuasion. The
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:03
			next step is to actually start
learning seriously to read books
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:06
			to take on a subject of Islam and
to understand all the subjects of
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:10
			Islam at least at the basic level,
so that we can become more aware
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:14
			of what our deen wants from us.
And that's why we started Rayyan
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:19
			courses so that you can actually
take organize lectures on demand
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:22
			whenever you have free time,
especially for example, the
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:26
			Islamic essentials course that we
have on there, the Islamic
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:30
			essentials certificate which you
take 20 Short modules and at the
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:35
			end of that insha Allah you will
have gotten the basics of most of
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:38
			the most important topics in Islam
and you'll feel a lot more
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:41
			confident. You don't have to leave
lectures behind you can continue
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:44
			to live, you know to listen to
lectures, but you need to have
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:47
			this more sustained study as well
to Zach Allah here and salaam
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48
			aleikum wa rahmatullah wa
barakato.
