00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:08
			salatu salam, O Allah Azza, you
didn't mursaleen while he was
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			happy he or Baraka was seldom at
the Sleeman cathedral, you know,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			your meeting of merit. We had been
speaking about believing in Qatar.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			And what that means is not just as
an article of faith that if
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			somebody asks us what are the
fundamental beliefs that you have
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			as a Muslim, and we say, we
believe in Allah and His angels,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:34
			and His scriptures, and the Last
Day, and Qadr This is a belief
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:39
			that people have on paper, as an
article of faith, but it needs to
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			become a reality. And that's why
he had said that you will never
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			feel the pleasure of a man you
will never taste the man, what it
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:54
			truly is what faith truly is,
until you believe in your heart,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			you believe it, you interact with
it, and it becomes a reality in
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:03
			your life. And thus, it is not
something that we just bring up
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			when asked to reaffirm our faith,
but rather,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:16
			on a personal level, each time
something happens to us, we bring
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			in mind, Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			And coder doesn't, what's expected
of us is not that you have to
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:29
			believe I believe in the coder of
Allah. But rather, when something
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			happens that is maybe a bit
unfavorable. Then we think of
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:39
			Allah and we say, Allah subhanaw
taala knows, Allah has when a
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			loved one you're lucky. So it's
that interaction that this is
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			actually speaking about. Because
when you the whole point of it is
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			that it's supposed to make life
easier, and take out the concern
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			and the worry, knowing that Allah
subhanaw taala is with us.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			The more a person thinks about
Allah subhanho wa Taala and how
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			he's in control of everything. How
he's behind everything. Then it
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			alleviates his feeling of
helplessness, aloneness,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:16
			estrangement, loneliness, of
course, and depression. Because
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			you think Allah subhanaw taala he
knows anyway. So what he wants,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			I've tried my best.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			Likewise, when something good
happens, then we don't attribute
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			it to ourselves. We say, Allah
Subhana Allah Shaka, Allah sugar.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			He gave us this, you have food on
your table, and mashallah you have
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			good food. When you think Allah
subhanho wa Taala you're given a
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			gift, something good happens in
your life, something favorable
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			happens in your life. And you
think about Allah, that's the way
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			I look at Qatar. Because really,
that's the maxim and the objective
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			of it. As Allah says in the Quran,
de la Sol Adama Fatah, while at
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			the frog will be Mata so that you
don't
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			feel depressed and
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			despondent when something misses
you.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			And something misses you and you
couldn't get it, then you don't
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			keep crying. And likewise, if you
do have something and you do
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			attain something later fro you
don't exalt about it, you don't
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			get arrogant about it, just to
moderate us. Until then you're not
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			gonna we're not going to feel the
pleasure of Eman. Eman is supposed
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:28
			to create the balance within us.
And you can only have that balance
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			with Allah subhanho wa Taala like
this. So it's just about trying to
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			remember a lot each time.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:43
			So there's a very easy because
what, it's only what Allah wills
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:50
			that will happen. In many cases,
in most cases, in fact, everything
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			happens from behind the veil.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			You ask for something, it's not
going to pop in front of you.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			It's generally going to come if it
comes through somebody through
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:06
			something, somebody's going to be
made a means of what you asked
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			for.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:13
			So although extra ordinary events
to take place as well, sometimes
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:19
			those are where it's just clear
cut. But generally Allah subhanaw
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			taala works from behind the veil.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:28
			Sometimes however, it's a very
obvious situation.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			It just seems very extraordinary.
So for example,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:40
			the great Hadith master Khomeini,
who was a student and companion of
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			ignore hasm of Lahiri
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			or his student,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			he he relates this
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:54
			in he's got a book as it's called
Java 12 October spedically, wala
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			till on the Andalus
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			as you know, ignore hasm
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			was from andalas, which means
Spain. So this is just some
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			stories about the different
Wiley's and governance in
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			understand some interesting
stories over the years. Over the
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			centuries. Rather, he says that
there was a was Eve, a minister
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:22
			whose name was Abu Omar Ahmed Abu
Saeed ignore hasm that the Father
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			of Evil has mov right. So he's
this is
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			who maybe was relating from his
teacher, about his father. If no
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			hasm about him, no husband's
father.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			He was once sitting in front of
his,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:45
			his Governor Massoud ignore Ahmed,
Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed, Abu
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			Abu Mohammed, Mohammed Abu Dhabi
army, that's the governor's name.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:55
			And this, the father of Abraham is
a minister for that governor.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			So what happens is,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			this was a open gathering for the
public.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			And this is where people could
come and give their petitions,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			bring up their issues and see what
the governor could how they could
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			help him and how the governor
could help them. So there was a
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:20
			note that came up to him from a
mother who had a son in prison.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			And she was asking for some mercy
clemency, like, help out to get
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			him out.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			So this monsoon, the governor had
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			put him into prison
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			for a really
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			big crime, or at least a crime
that he thought was big and
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			serious. So he put him into
prison. So he gets this from the
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			mother that have some mercy on
him. He read it, he got even more
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			angry, because it was a serious
crime for him. So he got even more
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			angry.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:00
			And he said,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			the current anyway, Allah Hebei,
you've just reminded me of him.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:10
			Basically just got me more angry.
But he had forgotten about him.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			But now when she mentioned when
this note was given to him, he
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			felt that it reminded me of the
seriousness of that crime. So he
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			got even more angry, what are the
column he took, he took his pen
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			and he wrote, he wanted to write
on the paper on that note, your
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			SLUB he shouldn't be crucified, he
should be killed.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			Like finishing.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			So
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:39
			instead of writing use lob, ja,
sod, lamb beam, ba, he wrote up
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:39
			luck.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			Right, it's similar, but it's not
the same. But he wrote us luck.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:50
			That's what he wrote. I didn't
realize whatever he threw the note
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			at there was enough that we
mentioned abou hammer.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			So there was he took it, so that
he could write it out properly,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:03
			because the government he just
gives small, small indications.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			And then somebody has to write an
official letter that look, this is
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			what needs to happen to this
person. So he wrote according to
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			what he had seen on their use lab,
it said you Slava, you're sorry,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			you're good luck. Good luck means
let him go.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:19
			Good luck means let him go.
Useless means crucify him, kill
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			him. And good luck means let him
go. So he decided to write that
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			someone said to him, What are you
writing?
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			He said, to release him
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:33
			to I'm writing this letter to the
police that they should release
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			him. So he got very angry said,
Man, America who told you to do
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			this? Why are you writing?
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			So then he gave him the previous
look, this is what your old your
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			old you'd look not useless.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			So he sent me his way him too, I
made a mistake. The
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			the word, he says he made a
mistake.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			Monsoon. So then again, he went to
write
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			your slum?
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			Again, he wrote you to look
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			so he gives it back to the was he
was he starts writing the letter,
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			man who looks at it gets very
angry gets even more angry than
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			the first time telling you what's
wrong with you.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			Who taught who's telling you to
write this? So again, he showed it
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:23
			to him. He sees his own writing.
And it was written you'd look what
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			does your block mean? You should
be freed.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			Your understanding sunny
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			La Ilaha illa Allah so this is not
the third time he goes to write
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			your slob. Again, he writes your
clock for some reason.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			You know, I mean, it's just like
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:44
			maybe he wasn't looking at it. At
that time. He just gave it
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			was he takes it again and starts
writing and this time mental
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			monsoon looks at this monsoon
looks at it again. And
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			he gets even more angry than
Nyquil. What's going on with you
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			guys? You know, you can imagine
what kind of anger he must have
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			had by them and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			And
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			so again, he shows him the letter
and he says, Look, this is what
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			you wrote. You'd look.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:15
			So finally, he is defeated. He
says, Now, you'd look at me, let
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:20
			him go, despite myself, despite
myself and then Suhana he says,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			Furman see this bring other from
an era The Allahu Allahu Allah
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:29
			Akbar, Anna, Allah, many, anybody
who Allah subhanaw taala wants to
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			set free, I'm not going to be able
to
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			prevent that.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:40
			Now, this seems a bit of a quite a
interesting story.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			Quite an extraordinary story. So
sometimes things like this happen
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:48
			as well. But not all the time. I
mean, sounds a bit far fetched
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:52
			that three times he wrote this,
but it's a possibility that when a
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:56
			person is in a distraction, and
he's got so many things to think
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:56
			about.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:03
			And if you see the way these guys,
I remember, in Syria, or in Egypt,
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			you have to go to these offices,
and you have to get 10 People
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			signature, it's ridiculous, right?
So you go to the one person, you
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			fill in the form, he looks at it,
he puts a stamp on it says, Okay,
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			take it to the Medina, you go
there and he signs and like,
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			there's so many people coming in.
So he's just signing him, you go
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			somewhere else, and he has to sign
it. She has all this bureaucracy.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			So maybe it was something to do
with that I'm trying to give some
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			understanding of this.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:31
			There's another story, which
sounds obviously a lot more
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			plausible, not denying this sort
of thing. Even that could happen
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			to Allah subhanaw taala could make
it happen even that way. And it's
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			not impossible. Things strange
things do happen.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:46
			Sheikh Abdul Fatah Buddha, he says
that a friend of his who was in
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			the oath, money army, the Ottoman
army.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			And this was earlier on, he must
have been an older person who had
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:57
			been in the Ottoman army during
the First World War. He mentioned
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:01
			to him that they had been
preparing for a particular battle,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			they were preparing for a
particular battle.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:12
			And every one of the soldiers had
found what they thought was the
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			best place to
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			to build a
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:22
			defense, maybe a hole in the
ground, a trench, and then to
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:27
			fortify it. So each one each
group, each person had done this,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			and it all set themselves up.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:35
			The commander came around to check
everybody's positions. And this
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			particular individual, this
particular soldier he had,
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			the commander really liked how he
had
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			strengthened his place. And how he
had,
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			he had a very good position.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:55
			So what he did was, he's a
commander, right? He took one of
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:00
			his friends in the Army. And he
moved this guy away, it was his
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:05
			trench, he moved him away, and put
that his friend inside that place,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:11
			thinking that this would be more
safe for him. And he moved this
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			man who had made this trench
somewhere else.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:19
			And then, obviously, he turned
away it was very unhappy. It was
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:23
			by force and coercion that he had
to move. He was very unhappy and
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			angry. However, when the war
started, when the battle started,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32
			immediately, they fired a rocket
from that side, and it landed in
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			this particular trench, despite
the fact that it seemed to be the
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			most protected. And that guy was
killed in there, the friend of the
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			commander was killed in there and
this person was saved.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			So that's again, Allah subhanaw
taala does these things sometimes
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:50
			like this, but it's up to him,
there's no guarantee. You can
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			never say that this is what's
going to happen. You just have to
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			ask Allah subhanaw taala and then
deal with it like that.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:00
			So this gives us some kind of
unique experiences in the fact
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			that Allah subhanaw taala is
behind everything. And in this
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			case, we can actually clearly see
that there is a certain wisdom, we
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:11
			can see the wisdom. In many cases,
it's obscure, but it's belief in
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:15
			Allah that will help us to manage
that situation when you can't
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			understand something. You can't
understand why something is
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			happening. But if you have trust
in Allah, it'll just make it easy.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			Otherwise you will be getting
angry with everybody around you.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			Okay, then, Allah Momo has to be
he continues from that point
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			seeing what couldn't be hockey.
Milan is it Gala? Who knew run
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			wobble, see your rotten? Always
practice the truth. Always
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			practice the truth. The benefit of
this will be that Allah will
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			increase you in your light and
your insight.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			Your light and your insight the
light will be beneficial for us on
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			the Day of Judgment. And in this
world, because on the Day of
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			Judgment, there'll be no light and
everybody will need light. That's
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			why the Manasa tea and they will
say to the believers
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			Nocta best
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			We know they come, let us take
some light from you, killer Giro
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			whare, a consultant mizunara. Now
you guys leave you guys leave
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09
			group behind you, you go and look
for your own light source of
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:12
			light. So all actions in this
world will become a source of
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			light in the Hereafter. And of
course, Insight person will become
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
			wiser. That's as long as the
person is always on the truth.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:23
			This is the benefit. Walter called
me my yet more Obi Wan Han who do
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			not ever be of those people who
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:32
			command that the truth be
followed, but stays away
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			themselves from it. They tell us
to do it, but they abstain
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			themselves, they refrain
themselves, they can't do it
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:42
			themselves. For who will be if me,
then the person is going to return
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			with the sin of that were
downwardly Mukti Rafi and he's
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:50
			setting himself up for the anger
of his Lord. Allah subhanho wa
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:54
			Taala says Gabor mochten. In the
law, he and da Kulu malata Fardon.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:16:01
			It's a massive lie and falsehood
in the sight of Allah that you say
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			that which you do not do?
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:09
			This has to be clarified that in
the West, when they find the
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:09
			minister,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			who is
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:17
			maybe to do with immigrants and so
on, and then they find out
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			somebody who's
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			when you when you have a minister
or something who
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:32
			is supposed to be the Minister for
Immigration and so on. And then
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:36
			you find that he's actually using
an immigrant as a servant in his
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			house. Right? cheap labor.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:45
			That's clear hypocrisy. He is
supposed to be in charge. But on
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			the other hand, he's using an
immigrant for cheap labor. So it's
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			a clear hypocrisy.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			However, you get some who
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:57
			it's to do with, for example,
morality, and then they get caught
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			doing something wrong.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			Somebody could make a mistake,
they genuinely don't want to do
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:09
			something. Hiring an immigrant is
not a temporary weakness. It's a
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:14
			proper decision, day after day,
but somebody who fell to a
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			weakness
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			and then they call them
hypocritical, when he may be
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			hypocrisy, but you have to
understand people have weaknesses.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			So likewise here as well, if
somebody is telling others don't
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			do this, don't do that. But then
they may commit this some time
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:33
			with dislike, then that's not
hypocrisy. They're trying. But
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			somebody who doesn't try at all
and he's just going around telling
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			everybody wasn't do this, you
mustn't do that you mustn't do
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:42
			this. doesn't pray himself doesn't
abstain from the haram. So this is
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			what this is talking about.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			Especially if the person is saying
all of these things just to get a
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:55
			position to get influence to seem
like a pious person, but he has no
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			intention of being a pious first.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			One is that you can't do something
yourself, but you want others to
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			do it because you hope that will
affect you as well.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:08
			That's why it's bigger Omar
they've mentioned in one has
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:12
			Hakimullah Malamala, Tania
Abdullah, he says that he had a
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:16
			bit of an issue with anger, and
thus he gave a speech about anger.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:21
			Firstly, telling himself so that
is justified that if you want
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			change, you find this are too weak
to do it when you want to create
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:28
			an environment. That is fine. It's
not clear hypocrisy is it? One
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:32
			needs to distinguish between these
things. Hypocrisy is really tell
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			people to make yourself look like
you're pious, but you don't do it
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			at all. You have no intention to
do it. That's what I think
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:41
			hypocrisy is here. Not that you
want to change and you want people
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			to change and you think this will
help you change because when your
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			surrounding changes, then it's
easier for you to change as well.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			So that's what I think this verse
means.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			What God Allah Sula, he sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam Manoir, alpha
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:00
			welcome your 30th Was your over
immunization. When a while me and
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
			daddy for who are in the law he
middle ha EB Allah who are LM if
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			this is a Hadith or not, because
the editor mentions that he
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			couldn't find this hadith couldn't
find the narration. But either
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:15
			way, the wisdom in it is true.
Whoever gives Nasi who gives
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			advice to others but doesn't take
the advice himself has no
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:24
			intention to do it. Right. Who
senses others stops others but
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:28
			doesn't stop himself who prohibits
others but doesn't stop himself,
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			then he is of the losers according
to Allah subhanaw taala. Now
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:32
			that's clear.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			He's not going to get any benefit
out of that. Whereas the other
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			person who was trying and who's
telling others as well and he
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			sincerely believes it should
change, then he will be rewarded
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:45
			for that, even though he's weak
himself. That's why in America
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:50
			many others they have said that if
nobody was to sin, now, if you had
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:54
			to be sinless to do a marble
marble for nothing, and then after
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi
wasallam nobody would be able to
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:57
			do so.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			Because nobody's pure
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00
			Oh,
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:05
			that's why once IGNOU Omar
Abdulaziz he wrote to one of his
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			governors about something that
look, don't do this, don't do
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:15
			that. And he says, I know that I
am probably the one who has the
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			greatest shortcomings. But I'm
telling you this.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			So this is this is justified in
that sense.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:30
			In fact, one poet says that they
want people not to tell anybody
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			off unless they can stay,
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:37
			do not prohibit anything unless
they can fully be clean
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			themselves. They don't want
anybody to do Ameren, Madhavan he
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:44
			and Moncure. So that everybody can
be the same, and nobody has any
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			guilty feeling.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:50
			So that's the intention of some
people. Like why are you telling
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			them? That's why a lot of people
they say, look, especially in the
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:56
			West, where you're not supposed to
tell anybody anything, this is
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:01
			kind of the environment that we
have. But it's very, very harmful,
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			because it then becomes prevalent,
then we get caught up in it as
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:08
			well if we don't. And that's why
the Hadith mentions very clearly
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:13
			that there was a punishment GBR
Islam was told to bring punishment
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			to a certain area. And it was
mentioned that, oh, there's that
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:20
			particular pious person there. So
Allah said, go and strike him
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:27
			first way, because he is never we
read that before. He said, Because
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			His face has never changed for my
sake, meaning he's never seen
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:35
			wrong and prohibited. This is
becoming tolerant of wrong around
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			you. So now see how it is for
everybody. It's not just for the
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			automa because our deen is not see
a dino Naseeha.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44
			And it's very, very useful when
people can tell each other in a
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48
			nice way. Unfortunately, you can't
do that anymore. It's just very
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			difficult to go and tell anybody
anything. We don't even know how
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:55
			to do it. But we should start and
we should do it with the full know
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			and with the right kind of
manners, and that's how the
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:02
			improvement in our community will
be. We start with our family and
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:07
			we discuss and this is how
Inshallah, we can help. It's just
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:11
			there are certain rules to be
followed. wisdoms. Wise ways of
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			doing this
