00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			This is a verse from Surah Al
Anbiya, which is chapter 21, verse
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			10, of Surah Al Anbiya, Allah
subhanho wa Taala says, We have
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:54
			revealed to you our people we have
revealed to you a book in which is
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			a message for you.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			V the crew come in which there is
a reminder for you, there is a
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			remembrance for you, there's a
message for you.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			When you then not understand,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			will you then not comprehend
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:14
			so this is a direct address to us
that the Quran is a message
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:20
			and this is something that we need
to start thinking about how long
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			will it be that we just mashallah
we read the Quran May Allah
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			subhanaw taala accept it, we read
a lot of Quran 100 Especially in
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			Ramadan, our community has to be
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			acknowledged for reading lots of
Quran. But when will we start
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			letting Allah subhanaw taala speak
to us directly. When we start
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			understanding what Allah is saying
to us, otherwise will pass this
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			life will go and then meet Allah
and we would not have known what
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			he had directly said to us in his
own words,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			with some kind of understanding
and comprehension. So this verse
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			is telling us the same thing of
certain Gambia we've revealed to
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:59
			you a book in which is a message
for you, then will you not
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			understand it, but hamdulillah
Inshallah, we're safe in the sense
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			that we get this message through
other languages, through our
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:11
			teachers through our Alma through
our Beyonc we get the message
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			Alhamdulillah but there's just
something else. When you look at
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			the Quran directly. For example,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			we tell people to read the Quran,
if you have a difficulty,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			especially if you have a
difficulty one of the best cures
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			and therapies rather therapies for
this would be that you open the
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			Quran with a translation whatever
language it is, or the English,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			whatever language it is, and you
will find so many things to
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43
			reflect on that our own griefs and
worries will start to diminish.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			We'll start realizing the sunnah
to Allah He filled out which means
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			what is the way of Allah in this
world? How does he do things in
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			this world?
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			We know the Sunnah of the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, what is the
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			Sunnah of Allah? We learned that
from the Quran.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			And the other benefits of reading
the Quran is that it gives you a
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			Muslim massage, a true believers
massage a true believers
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			perspective. How is that helpful?
It's helpful in the sense that in
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			our Sharia, there's things which
are very clearly halal, and
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			obviously halal and something
which are obviously haram. But
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			unfortunately, there's a lot of
things in between where we need
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			guidance because they're not
neither clearly halal, neither
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			clearly haram.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			They're a bit vague. Even the
sometimes the odema differ about
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			it.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			So what do we do in those kinds of
cases? What do you even do about
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:42
			halal and haram? When you start
reading the Quran and the Sunnah
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			you develop a massage of the
Sharia. You develop the spirit,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:53
			the inclination, spiritual and a
Quranic perspective on things and
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			that leads life much better that
provides a much better
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:00
			understanding of life. And it
gives a lot more comfort. This is
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			generally what people miss out on.
So
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			the Quran, Quran shakable Hassan
Ali literally, Rahmatullah says
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			the Quran is like a clear mirror.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			For anybody, it's a mirror that
will reflect you.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			So while it has a message that is
universal to everyone, but if I
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24
			read the Quran, I'm gonna get in
certain certain verses, I just
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			obviously clear that a very
particular meaning. But in terms
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			of what I read between the lines
and what inspiration I get for it,
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			I'm gonna get something different
from what you get from what he
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			gets from what he gets from,
everybody's gonna get their own
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			unique one based on their own
condition. That's why the Quran is
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:45
			a smart book. In that sense. It
gives you back something that is
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			related to your condition. And
that's the amazing thing about the
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			Quran, that it gives you something
back according to your condition,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:56
			whatever your condition is, try
it. I guarantee you that for a
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			certain person if you're a
sensitive individual who's gone
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			instantly getting upset about
small things. Does anybody suffer
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			from that? Somebody who generally
has what's worse, or not worse was
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			not not necessarily doubts, but
who's generally gets upset and
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			sensitive about little little
things. And then they start
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21
			crying. Well, then don't waste
your tears. If you're a person who
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			likes to cry easily, sometimes.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			You know, it depends on it.
Sometimes women have more of the
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			issue than men who just like to
cry more easily. It's a very
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			valuable asset to be honest, to be
able to cry easily. There's people
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			on the 27th night they can't cry,
though. They're trying. They just
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			can't cry. They don't know how to
cry. They've never cried since
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			they were young. Or maybe and when
they're young didn't cry, I don't
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			know. And mashallah, there's some
people who just keep crying for
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:46
			free
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			and just losing their tears.
They're just willing to cry in
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			front of people in private
wherever it is, keep trying. So
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			use your tears, believe me, you've
got an asset. You need to channel
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			them in the right direction, open
up Quran. Take one with a good
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			translation. And mashallah, now we
have many, many, many
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			translations. That's why our
orlimar wrote the translations
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			even hazard money suicide,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15
			our show because it only some
Matata. So Rahim Allah even before
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			he passed him Hamdulillah he had
the Quran, translation in order to
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			a simple order, and many, many
other trends is for us to read.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			It's not for them, or only they
know the Arabic it's for us to
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			read. So you start reading, and
believe me within a page or two,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			you will find something to cry
about. Pour your emotion because
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			just need to release emotion.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			Just cry.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			The other place you can cry, is
when you feel like crying, instead
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			of again wasting it just put your
hands up to Allah and cry to Allah
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			in a DUA. And it'd be much more
useful. Don't waste your tears.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			So there's many, many things
you'll get out of the Quran. When
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			you read it. There's so many
things you will think about. And
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:01
			it just helps to straighten out.
It's like a, it's almost like a
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			spellbinding book in that sense.
So shakable has anybody says that
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:09
			it's a transparently clear mirror,
in which everybody can see their
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:13
			own image. If I read it, I will
realize what my issues are.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			Because I'll be able to relate to
some of the things that Allah
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			subhanaw taala has criticized, has
condemned.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			And there'll be other things which
I can thank Allah subhana wa Taala
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			for so because it goes in
accordance to what I'm finding in
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			there.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			And this is how the owner Ma, this
is how our ancestors, this is how
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			they develop the message. They
have such a strong believers missa
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			missa urge,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			a temperament. It's from that they
didn't treat the Quran as some
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			kind of archaic book,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			some kind of
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			Tales of
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			Old communities.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			Allah subhanaw taala is very
selective in the stories that he
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			mentioned and the details in the
stories he mentions.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			He only mentioned me in many
cases, just bits of different
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07
			stories in different places.
Because the main purpose of those
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			stories is to take a lesson
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			is not just to tell you a story.
The use of Elisa long story, Allah
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:18
			specifically singles and says this
is one of the best stories, but
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			again, it's full of because every
part of it is a virus that was
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			made to go through so many
different hurdles in life, so that
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			we can learn from one of those
hurdles or the other hurdle. You
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:33
			know, an orphan can learn from the
man who's discriminated against
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:39
			can learn from the a person who is
abandoned, rejected a person who
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:46
			has lost their parents, a person
who has become slandered, you
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:51
			know, for something they didn't
do. A person who becomes the
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:57
			Minister of the Interior for
agriculture distribution, a dream
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			interview, I mean, it's got so
many different things that we can
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:04
			relate to people who look at the
Quran that what they will find as
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			a result, rather, they won't have
much difficulty in figuring out
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			solutions to things.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			So, let us look at one particular
incident, there was a person
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			called enough ignore case.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:28
			He was one of the web closely
related to it, even though we
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			thought they were the Allahu Anhu.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			And once you read the verse
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			of the Quran, which says Laqad
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:44
			EComm kita fie. The crew come Fela
Aquino on this verse that I just
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:44
			recited.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			We've sent this reminder to you.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:53
			We did not understand it. So it
kind of woke him up. And he said
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			I need to look at this. I need to
see where mine
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			mention is in here because the
Quran is a reminder for you so I
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:07
			want to see what it's reminding me
of. What's the personal message
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			for me in here?
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:14
			So I can check who I'm closer to
who I am like. So this is give us
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:18
			give us one idea how to read the
Quran. Okay. And I want us in the
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			month of Ramadan aside from your
Quran reading, I want you to try
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			this at least once but every day
spend 1520 minutes at least
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			reading through a translation
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			and pondering aside from your you
know our two hours of reading that
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			you do do some pondering
Inshallah, you will benefit hugely
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			now he passed by a group of people
that are mentioned in the Quran
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:46
			inserted there yet. So he, it was
gone. Oh, Connie Elam, Mina, Lee,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:52
			Lima, Jeroen, or bill as hardy
home yourself your own? Well, we
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			am worthy him how colorless
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			at Walmart room. So that's the
group that he passed by. And that
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			was a group that sleeps very
little.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			They sleep a little.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:13
			And then they are seen making SFR
at Saturday time. So they've slept
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			little, which means they've done
worship. And at the end of the
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			night of all of that worship,
where they should be saying that,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:23
			Oh, I've done so much worship, to
actually doing so far that Allah
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			forgive us. This was the way of
the sahaba.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:32
			And in their wealth is the right
for those who ask and those who
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			are deprived. So there are people
who are generous and who spend
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:39
			from the world. So he looked at
the verse and he said, Am I from
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			these or not?
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			Can you see how he's interacting
with the Quran?
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			Thereafter that he passes by
another group of people in Surah
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:51
			Ali Imran Lavina you feel cool
enough is
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:58
			Eva Daraa evil Cara we mean Allah
is our la fina and in
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:06
			what Allah who you a bull Martini.
These are people who spend both in
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			prosperity and in adversity.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			They spend both when they have and
when they don't have and when they
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			are in need themselves. They're
still spending
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			and they're controlling of their
anger.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			And they are very pardoning of
people they forgive people they
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			don't indulge and keep pursuing
small small petty issues and
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			wasting their time.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala loves
these doers of good, Allah loves
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:38
			the doers of good. So when I'm
reading this, am I thinking do I
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			spend
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			mashallah,
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:48
			there's some people in Africa when
we went there to Senegal, we heard
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			about one scholar, whatever he
used to get, he was a prominent
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			scholar. He's got lots of money
that coming in, but he used to
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			make it like he gets the money and
then he gives it away. Because he
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			had lots of people. There's lots
of poor people, so he used to help
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:00
			a lot of poor people.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			He never had to do the cut. Zakat
was never wajib on him. He never
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:13
			had approximately saving of 300
pounds nisab never has. But he
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			thought you know what, I'm never
going to be able to fulfill this
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			obligation of zakat
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:23
			exists delimiter Munna Hui i
should also pay zakat,
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			right, I should also pay zakat. So
he said so what he did one year
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32
			was that he kept back, you know,
zakat nisab amount,
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			so that he could have a year go
pass and then he paid zakat on it
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			so you can say okay, Al
Hamdulillah fulfill my zakat. I
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:43
			have the mother of fulfilling
zakat as well. Lots of people are
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:48
			looking for an easy side business.
Right and what's the best side
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			business you've already got a full
time job you want to make a bit of
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:55
			extra income. I mean, mashallah
the women they've got they can
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:00
			bake cakes, like Instagram is full
of them. Every area has I don't
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:04
			know how many mashallah new bakers
in town. Otherwise roti makers,
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			right and when it comes to
Ramadan, so Musa has and all of
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			these things Marshall hamdulillah
Baraka there's, of course, you
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			know, Allah bless everybody. And
guys, what what's your side
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			business, you're looking for that
ideal investment, generally only
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:22
			find about ideal investments after
they finished. You know, somebody
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:28
			tells you I, oh, it's finished
now. Right? Because Subhanallah so
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			what's the best side business you
can do for an extra income? How do
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:35
			you earn a bit of a side extra
income? about Uber? That's an easy
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			one now mashallah, you know, it's
very easy. Just sign up and have
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:42
			the right car and you can do a bit
of Uber on the side, weekends, and
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			so on. However, believe me, I'll
give you a side business which
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			works give some sadaqa regularly
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			and I'm not joking. It works. You
won't have to do obey in sha
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			Allah, give some sadaqa and I say
that from the Quran, Allah
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			subhanho wa Taala says,
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			me Euclid, Allah
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			Harkonnen hacer una, who is the
one that will give a goodly loan
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			to Allah. So whenever we giving
sadaqa it's a loan to Allah,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:12
			because we're the poor. They're
representing Allah subhanho wa
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:16
			taala. Because that's Allah's
command for us, because everybody
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:20
			is Allah's creation. So that's
what it is. So
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			who gives a goodly loan to Allah?
For your daughter if a hula hoop
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:29
			or the elephant cathedra, Allah
subhanaw taala will multiply it
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			many times over.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:38
			Multiple, many times over. And
there's number of verses like that
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			in the Quran.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			One brother I met in hedge is a
doctor in Chicago.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			And a few Ramadan's ago.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56
			He sponsors one if that student
every year, he's been doing that
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:00
			for the last two, three years. So
that two years ago, I think it was
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			a kind of two years ago, I think
it was two years ago.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			It was during the last 10 nights,
he says, I'm going to send the
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			money then for the last 10 nights.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			And so he sent the money.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:16
			Then, a day or so later, he sent
me a long message, I think I've
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:22
			still got the message. He said, I
sent that money. I also sent to
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:26
			our local institutions, I also
gave them a sizable amount. So I'm
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			sure he donated several 1000
pounds, and he said, I depleted my
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:35
			bank balance. Right, I depleted my
bank balance, meaning I didn't
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			have much left. And I was and I
looked at it and you know, there
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			is him as a human being like, am I
going to have enough for the next
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			bills and things like because he
really went and just spent, you
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			know, in the path of Allah. So
it's I was just thinking about
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52
			them. And he said, I got a call,
he's a doctor, he goes, I got a
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			call from somebody who needed
consultation services. And
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00
			basically, the amount was going to
be way more than what I just paid.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			Allah secured me straightaway.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			This happens on multiple
occasions, and I'm sure you may
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			have experienced some of that. But
the way the best way to do it, the
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:13
			easiest way to do it throughout
the year is to do a direct debit
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			Alhamdulillah Allah has made it
easy. When is you have to remember
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			to keep taking Sadhak out you can
do that these people have
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:25
			some really creative ways of doing
that at home. But the other way is
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			just to do a direct debit as less
or as more do it diversify number
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33
			of different organizations on the
welfare trust ICD white thread
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:38
			Institute. And whoever else there
is, you know, whatever you want to
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			give to even five pounds, 10
pounds, whatever it is, and it
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			just keeps going. And the other
thing you will do is you'll
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			protect your money.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			Because remember,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			whenever we earn money, there's
some dirt that could come into it
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:56
			because the economy is you know,
it's a big bubble. And while we
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			may be trying to earn a holler
living, but where our money comes
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			from, it could be tainted or
whatever. So in Hadith in Muslim,
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:06
			the Zakat zakat particularly is
what's the whole and wildness is
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			the dirt of the wealth of people.
That's why we don't use it in
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			masjid and things like that.
Right? It's only for the poor,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			very specific, and the other
categories that Allah subhanaw
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			taala has mentioned.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:21
			So these are the people who spend
in both good times and difficult
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			times. I tell people like even
students like you're struggling,
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			give even a pound a week.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			I mean, a pound a week is a joke
now to be honest, I mean, in terms
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			of inflation, everything, but give
something in and you'll see it
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			will keep coming back the baraka
you get will be absolutely
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			amazing. I'm telling you this from
experience. I'm not saying this
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			just based on what I'm reading,
I'm telling you this from
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			experience of many, many people.
The thing is you have to try to
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:49
			first get the experience. It's one
of those where I believe in it,
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			but I haven't seen it yet. Well
you're not going to see it if you
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			don't spend so spend
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			the minimum Allah subhanaw taala
promises is he says that it's like
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
			a seed you put that seed becomes
how many
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:11
			sunblock seven ears of corn, every
ear of corn has 100 seeds on
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			there. So that's 700 that's the
minimum.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:20
			Okay, then he carried on. Then he
passed by another group of people
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			insert a hash of verse nine, where
you're a pharaoh and
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:30
			fusi him Allah who can be him
Hassall so women you can show her
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			NFC for
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			ego homophily Haroon. They give
preference over themselves
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			priority over themselves, even if
they are in severe need, even if
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			they have severe hunger
themselves. This is based on that
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			story of that sahabi, who brought
the guest of the Prophet
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:48
			sallallahu. If you remember, this
was one of the verses that was
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			revealed in and then it says
whoever is protected from the
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			greed of the heart, then these are
the successful ones. Whoever is
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			protected from the greed of the
heart is the successful one.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			This is talking about miserliness,
miserliness, how do you define
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			laziness? You know, some of us are
just stingy by nature. That's
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			fine. If you compare yourself to
your own brothers and sisters, you
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			will find that some of us are more
intelligent than somebody else.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:17
			Some of us are more laid back.
Some of them are more particular.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			Some of us are a bit more angry,
some of us are a bit more stingy
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:26
			some of the most more, would you
call it generous? Now, we're not
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:29
			punished for whatever. However,
Allah has made us with the
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:33
			qualities or challenges Allah as
creators, but if we use it in the
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:37
			wrong way, then then we are in
trouble for that. So where does
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			Where does miserliness and
stinginess become a problem in
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			three places where the Sharia
makes it obligatory to spend and
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			you don't, where it recommends you
spend and you don't, or where
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:53
			social common decency demands that
you spend and you don't.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:59
			So for example, where you have
where surely obligates you is the
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			cat, so the counterfeiter if you
don't spend them, then it's
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			clearly It's haram that's wrong,
where the shinier recommends you
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:09
			spend general sada card relief,
and all of these things, there's a
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			collection for Palestine or for
the Rohingya, whatever and
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:17
			mashallah, everybody's got water
in their eyes and their spending
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			and you're like,
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:24
			not sure, you know, I'd like to
spend but I've never done it
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			before, you know, for whatever,
whatever is going on.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			And the third one is common
decency.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			Just where commonly people spend
the next change gifts for
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:37
			examples, people send food to one
another's house.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			Don't a lot of the time, it's like
they sent it out. So we sending it
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			to the house, that neighbor
doesn't send we're not gonna send
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:44
			there.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			That's not the way in Islam, the
Islam is that you send it
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			regardless of whether they give
you anything back, don't even
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			expect I actually feel a bit
embarrassed when somebody gives
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			something back. Like just just
give.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:02
			Just give yourself everybody gives
your children Ed, you don't give
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			it to anybody because it's better.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			It's not mentioned anywhere in the
Quran sunnah to give EDS. So you
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			say it's better.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			But you're okay to let your
children accept it. You go to a
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			restaurant,
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			and everybody's eating, and then
you finish eating and then the
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			bill comes and you go to wash your
hands.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			There's nothing what you guys
laughing there's nothing wrong
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			with washing your hands. Or my
teaching you bad ideas.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30
			Just stinginess, I mean
stinginess, you know, it can be
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:35
			remitted. That's what I'm saying.
It can be remitted. You know, what
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38
			would the world be if we did not
exchange things? What would the
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			world be? What kind of a social
life where humans are social
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:47
			beings? Humans are social. If we
don't give to one another? Where
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			are we going to be? People don't
give me if I don't give to people.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:56
			What kind of love can we engender?
Right? So
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:00
			think about it from that
perspective. It's a therapy.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			According to one friend of mine,
the research he's done, he's
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			actually got a book on it,
thinking Person's Guide to
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09
			happiness. If you want happiness,
he puts it down to one thing he
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:14
			said, give, give, give, give, and
you will be happy. And then he
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:19
			shows that Allah subhanaw taala
says that the because at the end
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			of the day, you know what the
ultimate reward is in paradise.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			It's Allah giving, giving, giving,
giving.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:31
			What is paradise? It's the gift of
Allah. And he gives and gives in
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			paradise, to an amazing level
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			that you're going to get from
giving. And that doesn't have to
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:41
			be just money, giving everything
giving other things of your life
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			as well.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:48
			May Allah make that easy for us?
Thereafter that he passed by
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			another group of people?
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			In surah two Shura, verse 37,
Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			well, Larry Wallasey, nya Jetta
and Ivana Acaba,
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:04
			Ural if mu alpha he Shaohua is how
the Boo meow if you own these are
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:09
			the people who avoid the big sins.
They are careful about falling
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			into big sin
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			and
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			evil immoral acts.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:21
			Today, it's so easy to be immoral
to do immorality. So they avoid
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:25
			that. And if they do get angry,
then they are forgiving their
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:29
			pardoning so they don't allow the
anger to overcome them. You see,
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:33
			some of us have natural anger. We
just have to learn to calm down a
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:37
			bit. And some people have very
less anger. They don't even get up
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:40
			even if they're abused. Or even if
their religion is abused or their
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:44
			parents are abused. They need to
wake up a bit. It's a balance.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:48
			Some of us have shortcoming in
some things, someone's have too
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			much of something we just need to
balance that's the challenge as
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			human beings challenge only the
professor Lawson was perfect in
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			every bit of character.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:25:00
			Thereafter that he passed by
another group of people in
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			In Surah, two sofort. Anyway,
firstly, after seeing all of this,
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:09
			he said, I don't recognize myself
in any of these people.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:14
			This is not me, that was his
reflection that is not me, Man, I
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			wish I could do more of this that
is not me.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			And then after he carried on
reading and he passes by verse 35,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:28
			a surah to Salford in whom, who
either Tila hula in love Allah who
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			you stick beehoon These are the
people when it said to them law, a
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:37
			law a law that there is no God
except Allah. They act arrogantly,
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			the ACT arrogantly, the
disbelievers.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			Then
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			circle with the fear he passes by
another group where Allah subhanaw
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:53
			taala is saying to them Myrcella
Kuhn V Sarkar. Palolem Nico Minal
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			mousseline one I'm not going to
show you a model miskeen we're
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:04
			gonna hold on I'll have a green
one. Okay. We will be here we'll
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			meet Dean.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:11
			What is it that entered you into
the Hellfire they would respond.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:16
			We never used to pray. We never
used to feed the miskeen. It's
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:20
			talking about Cofer talks about a
characteristic of feeding. See,
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			Allah wants feeding to happen.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:29
			And we used to just indulge with
the indulgence in in wrong things
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:34
			in redundant things in trivial
things. So we denied and we denied
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:39
			we denied the Day of the Day of
Recompense the day of hisab we, we
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			denied the hereafter, essentially.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:46
			So he says, Oh Allah, I exonerate
myself from these people. I am
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			definitely not one of these
people. I don't find myself in the
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:52
			first group. But these people, I'm
definitely not part of them.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			Finally, in sort of two Tober, he
gets to the verse 102, which says,
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:02
			What Haruna I thought of who will
be who will be him holla to Anil
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:11
			Saudi who horas de Isola, who ng
to bury him in Allah or fool
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:15
			Rahim. And there's another group
who are confessing of their sins.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:19
			They know they've sinned, and
they're confessing their sins.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:24
			They have mixed up good deeds with
bad Z, bad deeds. So this is a
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			group where they've mixed up good
deeds with bad deeds, that
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:33
			confessing of their sins, and it
is very likely that Allah subhanaw
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:37
			taala will accept their repentance
because Allah subhanho wa Taala is
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:41
			all forgiving, and all merciful.
And so then he says, Oh Allah, I
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			am from this group of people.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:48
			But that's a journey that he took,
that's a journey that he took. And
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:52
			that's a similar journey that we
need to take as well. That kind of
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			a journey is just giving you an
idea of how to reflect on the
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:55
			Quran
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:00
			is basically the ponder over the
vessel that where am I with this?
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:03
			Not where is that person with
this? Where am I in accordance
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:07
			with this? We need to do our own
soul searching our own soul
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			searching. It is such a
therapeutic thing. It is just so
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:16
			comforting for a believer to do
this because you're reading Allah
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20
			subhanaw taala this word we're
getting to our heart because apart
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:24
			from EC, the Quran Raiders that it
prevents a presents profiles. The
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27
			Quran presents a number of
profiles, profiles of believers of
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:32
			righteous people that encourages
us. It also sketches, profiles of
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:37
			policies and unbelievers and
wrongdoers, and oppressors, and
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:40
			then shows what they're gonna get.
So that helps us to reflect there
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:45
			as well. So the Quran represents
both individuals and communities.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:48
			It speaks about individuals, it
speaks about communities and
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:52
			nations as well. So let's look at
the following for example. So at
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:57
			Bacara Allah subhanho wa Taala
says Wamena in Sema, you're Ijebu
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:03
			Phil hayati duniya will you shave
Allah Allah Murphy kabhi Hiva
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:08
			Allah duel? Hasaan were either at
our Sara Phil ordine UFC Daffy,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:12
			where you helical how's our nest?
Wala hula you hate bull fossa?
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:17
			Whatever paella who tequila other
Tuileries to believe me for hasta
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:20
			boo hoo Jahan, what a bit sell me.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:26
			There is a this is what Allah says
in surah baqarah verse 2042206.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			There is a type of man who speaks
about this world's life may Allah
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:34
			you and he calls Allah to witness
about what is in his heart. Yet he
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:39
			is the most contentious of enemies
when he turns his back. His aim is
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			to spread mischief through the
earth and destroy crops and
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:46
			cattle. But Allah does not approve
mischief. When it is said to him
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:51
			fear Allah. He is led by arrogance
to even more crimes when you set
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:56
			him to be good. He gets even worse
enough for him is * and evil
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			bad indeed to lie on. That's it
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:05
			a sketch of a bad person. Contrast
this to another verse in Surah Al
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			Baqarah, where Allah subhanaw
taala says, and there is a type of
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:13
			man who gives his life to earn the
pleasure of Allah and Allah is
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			full of kindness to his servants,
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:20
			the Quran, the Quran, then in
social media speaks about the
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:20
			community.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:26
			Yeah, you Hala Dina Maluma he
altered the mu komang Dini he for
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:31
			Sophia Tila will be called me you
hate Boomer you hate buena Zilla
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:35
			in Ireland more meaning or is
sitting idle caffeine Yuja he
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:40
			doing a fee Sabina he won a half
moon Allah Almighty Allah in the
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:44
			DECA Fabula Allah He ut human
Yasha who Allah who has zero
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:48
			Nadeem. So this is talking about a
community. Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:52
			says oh believers, if any from
among you turn back from their
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:57
			faith. Allah will soon produce a
people whom He will love as they
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:02
			will love him. They will be lonely
with the believers meaning they
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:06
			will be humble with the believers,
mighty against the unbelievers
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			fighting in the way of Allah and
never afraid of the reproach of
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:12
			those who find fault. That is the
grace of Allah which He will
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:17
			bestow upon whom He pleases. Allah
is all encompassing, and all
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			knowing that's one community Allah
speaks about, may Allah make us of
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			them. The other community Allah
subhanho wa Taala speaks about
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			encircle Azzam
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:31
			meaning meaning you know deja vu
so the Houma hadoo lahardee FURMAN
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:37
			whom called on the who I mean, who
may toggle on but the luta Videla
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:43
			verse 23 of circular has, again,
even a better among the believers
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:47
			are men who are true to the
covenant with Allah. of them. Some
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			of them had fulfilled their pledge
already, and some are still
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:53
			waiting, but they have not changed
their resolve in the least nothing
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			changes them they're still
resolved to do the right thing.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:02
			Allah subhana wa Tada gives many
many examples in the Quran. For
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			example, I mean, our time is
coming to an end. Allah subhana wa
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:09
			Tada there's a number of a you
look for the word Dada. Dada Dada.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:13
			Allah gives an example Allah
provides an example Allah provides
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:17
			a parable. So here just mentioned
one two from Surah Nahal Wodaabe
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:23
			Allah Who Methoden Korea can mean
atom motorman in netting Tihar is
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:29
			Koha or the mill Cooley McCann.
For Kefalas B and Moromi law he
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:33
			further Kohala hollybeth sell
jewelry will hopefully be Malka no
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:37
			yes now rune. This is really
something that we need to think
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			about because
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:43
			some of this description
definitely fits our condition in
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:48
			the West. Allah sets forth a
parable, a city enjoying security
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:52
			and peace don't we enjoy security
and peace Alhamdulillah and
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:55
			abundantly supplied with
sustenance from all sides?
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:03
			I do updates galore. Mashallah.
Wherever you go, now it's agile,
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			nothing less than agile
Alhamdulillah.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			Yet they will ungrateful to the
favours of Allah.
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:14
			So Allah made them taste hunger
and terror in extremes, that is
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			what will I am always frightened.
Because mashallah the prosperity
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			that we are experiencing? You
know, that there's just so much
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:28
			Alhamdulillah Allah has given us
access to so much mashallah all
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:31
			the fruits of the world are
brought to your feet, you know,
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:34
			when the mangoes of India will
finish you'll get Pakistan when
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37
			they finish we'll get Bangladesh
mango and then you get the Mexican
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:42
			mangoes all year round. I mean,
how Allah has brought everything
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:45
			from around the world to our
feets. Right Al Hamdulillah, Allah
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:50
			has given most people the ability
to spend and to indulge. And I get
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:53
			really fearful, you know, how long
is this going to last into sugar?
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:57
			Tell your children to do shocker.
When you are Iftar and you have
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:01
			that good, you know Marshall, I
just say to sugar to Allah, for
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			what He has given us, because if
we don't do sugar, we're in
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:07
			trouble. And if we do sugar, Allah
will give us more. Teach your
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:10
			children to do sugar to say
Alhamdulillah when they get a new
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:15
			garment when they get a new pair
of shoes, whatever it is, just
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:18
			teach them I'm telling you do it
as you say loudly Allah Tala
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:23
			cachaca. You know, thank Allah for
this. All thanks to Allah, all
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:26
			Praise to Allah that He gave us
this, you have to put it into
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			action. And you'll see they'll
pick it up in sha Allah.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:33
			So Allah made them taste hunger
and Terran extremes closing in on
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:37
			them like a garment because of the
evil which they had wrought. So
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:42
			the Quran presents many
contrasting types. You get both to
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:45
			reflect on so wherever we are, we
get a benefit. That's the beauty
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:49
			of the Quran. This is a short time
that we had how much how can we
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:52
			how can we encompass the beauty of
the Quran in the short amount of
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:56
			time but may Allah subhanaw taala
allow us to start this. Find the
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			translation. You can get it from
us at Academy
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			Good translations Masha Allah and
start reading you know along with
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06
			your reading start reflecting and
you will see that your life will
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:09
			change in sha Allah may Allah
change our life illuminate our
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			life may Allah raised us with the
Quran May Allah illuminate us with
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:15

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

			the Quran to contemplate the Quran

00:35:27 --> 00:35:31
			the Quran and above all, may Allah
allow the Quran to be a source of
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			intercession for us on the Day of
Judgment. And may Allah subhanho
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:37

of prevention for us from the
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40
			hellfire and may Allah then
elevate us with the Quran when we
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:44

encourage people to act to get
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:59
			further an inspiration and
encouragement, persuasion the
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			Next step is to actually start
learning seriously, to read books
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:07
			to take on a subject of Islam and
to understand all the subjects of
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:10
			Islam at least at the basic level,
so that we can become more aware
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:14

And that's why we started Rayyan
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:20

take organize lectures on demand
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:23

have on the Islamic essentials
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:32
