00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			So, my dear respected friends
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			on this Friday night.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			Allah subhanaw taala gathers us
here in this masjid, there could
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			be so many other things you could
be doing on a Friday night.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			But the fact that we have decided
to dedicate our next hour or so in
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			this masjid,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			then
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			we will say that this in itself is
a reward of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			That's why if not, I thought he
loved his country. He says that
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			don't ask Allah for a reward
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			of a good deed that you do.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			Because it's already a reward,
that He has given you the ability
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			to do so in the first place. There
are so many other places, other
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			people that could have been here,
but they're not here.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			You don't have to be here. But
it's something in your heart in
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			sha Allah that's brought you
together there's a level of Tofik
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			and a direction from Allah divine
enablement that has brought us
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			here. So we thank Allah subhana wa
Tada
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			we thank Allah subhana wa Taala
for this and we ask him that Allah
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			give us even greater mercy.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:18
			Allah subhanahu wata, Allah says,
In the Quran, that if the people
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:23
			of the locality if the people of
the inhabitation if the people of
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:29
			the city if the people of that
area, were to believe, and then
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			have God fearing pneus have Taqwa
fear Allah subhanaw taala in their
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			everyday dealings in their
relationship,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:43
			then we would open up for them we
would let flow open up and
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:50
			release. Baraka, Tim blessings.
Baraka that's plural of Baraka,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			blessings from the heavens and the
earth. Those blessings would come
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:00
			upon them. They just have to
believe and they have to be God
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:05
			fearing. Just believe enough would
not provide this. But God fearing
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			this the more Taqwa there is the
more baraka and blessing there is.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says in
another verse
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:21
			in Surah, to Talaq, amen yet
tequila, Whoever fears Allah the
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			stalker aspects
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:28
			and he doesn't mention Iman here
because that's assumed. Whoever
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:33
			fears Allah, Allah will open up a
way for him in whatever they need,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			Allah will open up away for him,
and then he will give him
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			sustenance from where he would
never have thought so that it
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			would come.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			That's in the hands of Allah
subhanaw taala that he will
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			provide sometimes. And I can tell
you this, that I don't even have
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			much Taqwa. But
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			Allah subhanaw taala provides and
sometimes Subhanallah he provides
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			from where you would never expect
it. To have come in the first
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:03
			place. I'm sure each one of us can
relate to something like this. But
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			if somebody had solid taqwa, then
this would happen even more.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			There's a narration that Imam
Muhammad and Imam dari me they
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17
			relate from Abu Bakr or the Allah
one that somebody came to the
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said era swill Allah,
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			a unity higher?
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			Which of people are best? Who is
the most excellent person?
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			These kinds of questions will be
asked to the Prophet sallallaahu
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			Salam in numerous different ways,
different answers the prophets
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			Allah would give based on the
circumstance, and they all have
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			the meaning because all of these
contribute to what a good person
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			is. So in this case, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			the excellent person the most
beautiful person is the one man
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:53
			Tala Romero who has phenomenal,
the one who has the long life, but
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:58
			then he's able to do good deeds
during that life. So it's not long
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			life on sin. It's not
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			On a long life on redundancy, it's
not a long line in just miserable
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			pursuance of the world where you
neither get the world and you
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			stay, a person stays miserable.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:17
			And it's not just about obsessing
with certain worldly aspects and
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			the glamour and the beauty of the
world, but rather, it is something
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			that a person enjoys the world,
but his focus is the Hereafter.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			This is the thing which shaytaan
confuses and creates a doubt about
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			he confounds in the minds of
people that if you do become
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			religious, then you won't be able
to enjoy yourself.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			As though religious people don't
enjoy themselves, it's just
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			there's another level of enjoyment
all comes from the heart enjoyment
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			is something that you feel good
about in the heart, your heart is
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:53
			elated. Now, if it's haram things
that cause a person, give them a
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			certain amount of pleasure.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			For a short amount of time, then
people think that if I don't do
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			that, I won't get any pleasure
because they're used to that type
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			of pleasure. But those types of
pleasure are short lived.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			Subhanallah, if you just look at
and read about the lives of some
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15
			of these great celebrities, as
such, the the music, pop stars and
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			so on.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:22
			It's miserable. It's miserable. I
mean, I don't even want to get
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:26
			into detail about that. But I was
just just something I came across
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:30
			about this really famous singer
called Lady Gaga has got nothing
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			but Hollywood made her basically,
you know, the industry makes her
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			and she's been going through
turmoil about hearing the devil
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			seeing darkness, just absolute
misery, but she doesn't know what
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			nowhere to turn.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			But her fans thinks this is the
greatest thing that's ever come up
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			in the world. But only she knows
what kind of misery. There's
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:00
			others that have died of wine,
drugs, overdose, they don't know
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:05
			where to go. They think this is
pleasure. But eventually the it's
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:10
			not pleasure. It's only apparent
pleasure and it wears off. So it
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:14
			just depends on what your pleasure
is. And I guarantee you that
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:19
			people have Allah subhanaw taala
they have their own level of
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			pleasure, which is more enduring.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			But anyway,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			the best person according to the
prophets, Allah awesome, in this
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			case is the one who has a long
life and good deeds during that
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			long life.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			Then the person asked, okay, then
who's the worst of people for a
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			university, Sharon, who is the
worst of people. So the Prophet
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:43
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
Montoya O'Meara, who was Emmylou
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			is the one who's got a long life,
but then he's got bad deeds during
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			that long life. So what he's doing
is, is that he's racking up the
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			sins. Now what's very interesting,
if you look at it this way, is
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			that sins are very pleasurable.
That's why we do them otherwise
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			who do a boring sin, right sins,
give you pleasure, that's why we
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:05
			do them. That's why we feel like
doing them. Now have you noticed
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			that when we commit a sin, we make
that mistake, it feels very great
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			when we're doing it. But as soon
as it's done, then it dissipates
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:12
			and it's gone,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			then you have to do it all over
again, then you feel miserable.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:23
			Now, the pleasure of it has gone,
the sin remains. Whereas in good
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			deeds, it's a bit difficult to do
them in the first place, to come
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			for prayer to wake up for vision.
These are some examples.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:37
			Once you've done it, now the
hardships gone, but you've just
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:42
			got the reward which will endure.
So in a sin, the pleasure
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:48
			dissipates, and the sin remains in
good deeds, the hardship
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:54
			dissipates, but the rewards
remain. And it provides this kind
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			of Baraka. So what is baraka? What
is blessing? If the prophets
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			Allah, some said you've got a long
life with good deeds, it means
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			you're full of Baraka. So what is
baraka and what is blessing?
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:09
			Baraka and blessing, we this is a
term we throw around and we use,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			right we use a lot you know, in
whatever languages that we have as
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:18
			Muslims whether that be ordered or
Persian or Pashto, Arabic,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			Gujarati whatever it may be, we
use the Barack is the word is
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:27
			Barack, we use it. What exactly is
baraka though? Generally if I'm to
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:27
			ask somebody
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			who would like to give me a better
understanding of Baraka?
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			If you don't volunteer, I'm gonna
have to pick somebody out anyway.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:36
			So
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			okay, that's one manifestation of
it. That would be one might you
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:45
			put in less and you get a lot out
of it. That's one manifestation of
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			Baraka definitely. You feel a
fulfillment that's another
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:53
			manifestation. So very hard to say
this is baraka because it's not a
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			tangible product. It's not a
commodity that it can be. You
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			know, that you can present in a
plate to somebody here. This is
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			baraka. It's Jim
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			already done through something
I'll tell you what the way the
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			other might have explained it,
which then gives us an
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			understanding which these the what
you've explained is a
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			manifestation of it albaraka Here
through Bowtell hadal ILA, he if
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:18
			he shaped Baraka is that there's a
goodness a divine goodness from
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:23
			Allah subhanho wa taala. That is
found present in something, which
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:30
			for in for in maha Eva Khaled for
Euclidean cathedra to if it
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:35
			alights into something which is
less, it will increase it. That's
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:41
			one manifestation of it, and
whatever 100 Vika Theoden nether
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			and if it is found, if Allah
places it in something that is
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:49
			already abundant, then it will
provide you blessing, it will
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:54
			provide you greater benefit,
you're going to a restaurant, you
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:01
			do a good deal, maybe an estate,
you know, your real estate deal.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			And you feel really fulfilled with
it. And Allah gives you something
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			great out of it, you do another
one.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			And you don't get anything out of
it and you end the end, you feel
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			it's a loss. It's a bad deal.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			You go and eat something and or
you have purchased something and
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			it just keeps lasting for a long
time. And it works for a very long
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28
			time. That means you got barakah
in it. You know you have a wallet
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			full of money, right? In the good
old days when you use cash.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			There are some countries around
Europe where they don't that 95%
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			of people don't use cash anymore
like Sweden. It's all electronic.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:45
			Right? In England, we still use
cash quite a bit. You go to Oxford
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			Street or Green Street or Southold
abroad wait for a merit, you know,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			for a wedding shopping. And you're
there buying you know, and you're
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:55
			pulling out you've taken maybe 500
pounds. And it's wedding showing
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			today 500 pounds wedding shopping,
Colossus one dress, if you're
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:03
			lucky, right? So if you're buying
some other small things, and you
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			start spending, you buy this
thing, you buy that thing you give
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			and you're not counting, you're
just giving, giving, giving. At
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			the end, you've got these huge
bags with you. And you think wow,
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			mashallah, I've got all this, how
much money have I got left, then
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			you count it, and now you've only
got 35 pounds lifts, now you only
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22
			have 35 pounds left, had you not
counted that and Allah wanted to
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			give you a Baraka that would have
been extended. Because Abu Huraira
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			really alone was given a bag of
dates, which he kept to themselves
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:33
			and kept eating from them without
looking and he ate from them for a
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			very long time. One day, he
decided, let me check what's in
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			here. And when he counted, it was,
I don't know, seven days or
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			whatever it was, and that's all
there was left afterwards. Allah
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			works behind the veil. Generally,
you're not going to see seven
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			dates and then they suddenly
multiply to 100. You're not going
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			to see that right or that you take
another and just going to appear.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:55
			It works behind the veil because
the world is a predictable world
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			that He wants us in by he works
behind the veil to provide us
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			these things. This is what you
call baraka and blessing in
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			something that when Allah puts
something in there, then
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			everything will go well the one of
the biggest places and one of the
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:12
			most important areas where we need
Baraka is in a marriage. You got
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			two strangers because sometimes
coming together, two different
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:19
			individuals, each with their own
humanity, their own perspective,
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:24
			their own, their own feelings,
emotions. If this Baraka in that,
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29
			Allahu Akbar, it works wonderfully
well. And that's why the DUA we
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:35
			give to a couple is what Baraka
hulak or Baraka, Alec, were Jamar
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:40
			Urbina CO, Murphy higher, y la
save that may Allah bless you. May
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			Allah shower His blessings upon
you. We say that twice, because
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			they really need a lot of Baraka.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:51
			Because marriage is never a zero
sum game. One plus one is two.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			That's not what marriage is
generally, it's a lot more than
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			that. It's not an accurate
science.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			So, how do we gain this Baraka
Allah subhanaw taala says in the
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:06
			Quran, Allah insha khardungla as
Eden. If you do Shakur and you are
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			thankful, I'm going to give you
more. So there's only incentive in
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			thanking Allah. So thanking Allah
is one way of gaining baraka and
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:19
			blessing in something to increase
that thing is to thank Allah. And
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:23
			believe me, the whole excuse of
thanking Allah is that we then
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			remember Allah that He is really
in control, and he's in charge
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			that takes away that arrogance
from ourself. So if we've achieved
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			something, because we've got a
degree from this university or
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:38
			that university, or because our
father was very, very wealthy, our
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			parents were very wealthy. We had
a very wealthy uncle, somebody
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:44
			gave us some, and he left a big
inheritance for us. At the end of
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			the day, it's only because Allah
put us in that family otherwise we
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			had no choice of being in that
particular family. So all of it
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			eventually always goes back to
Allah subhanaw taala and Allah
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			ones is just to remember that
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			and just do sugar. So there's a
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			There Omar have mentioned based on
the Quran sunnah, a number of ways
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			to gain Baraka in our life.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			A number of ways to gain Baraka in
our life. What better than to go
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:14
			to the Quran to learn this from?
Allah subhanho wa Taala says,
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:20
			the verse I read right in the
beginning, what Oh, hello, Cora
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			Manu, but taco, la Fontana.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			Baraka, Tim min, Osama, he will
order the
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			if
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:34
			the people of the area, whichever
area that may be the villages, the
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:41
			suburbs, the cities, whatever that
may be worthy to believe. And to
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:45
			have Taqwa which means to have
that fear of Allah in their
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			dealings in their interactions,
that's taqwa,
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			to fear Allah in what they do,
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:57
			in how they buy and sell, in how
they live in how they speak to one
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:02
			another, in their private life, in
their life with Allah subhanaw
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:07
			taala, whether prayer, fasting and
so on. This is taqwa. It's a very,
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:11
			very, very general term, very
comprehensive term that includes
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			all of these things. It's not just
about dressing in a particular
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:15
			way,
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			is not just about praying.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			But it's about everything. A man
of Taqwa is a man that is going to
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			be recognized and respected.
Because of the softness of the
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			heart that Taqwa will bring,
because of the composure and
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			control that this person will
have, because of the patients that
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			they will be able to exercise
because of the gratitude that they
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			that person will feel in their
hearts, you will be able to see
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			it, the generosity that pure
person will be able to have the
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			preference that that person will
give to somebody else because of
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			his Taqwa. These are all
manifestations of Taqwa the ethos
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52
			is the person who's controls
himself and doesn't get angry.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			The person who doesn't have an
enmity in his heart. These are all
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			manifestations of Taqwa and God
very much because you do this for
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:05
			Allah, because we know that Allah
is greater than we can ever be,
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:10
			and he has more control over us.
Then we can have anybody else.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:16
			So we feel ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
Then Allah says that if they do
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			taqwa, if they have taqwa, then we
will open up we will release the
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			baraka Earth and the blessing from
the heavens and the earth. It's
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			all for them. That's what this
world is for. Who else did Allah
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			make it for? Now, you may think
that there's a lot of people who
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			don't even believe and they have a
lot of Baraka.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			Seemingly, that's what you think
is baraka? Baraka is not material
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:40
			possessions. It's what that
position gives you and allows you
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			to do in a form of self
fulfillment, with a projection to
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			the hereafter. If that goodness
that you feel you have, and the
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52
			riches and the wealth that you
think you possess, is only good
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:56
			for this world, then it's not very
long living is it? It's not very
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			far reaching. Because for a
believer, the real life is of the
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			hereafter. So everything we do
here needs to have some kind of
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			effect, a positive effect on that
life. So it's not to say that you
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			need to suffer in this life. But
it's about whatever you do needs
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:17
			to be adapted in such a way that
it has a positive outcome for the
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:21
			next life as well. While you enjoy
it in the world. And those people
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			who have the knowledge and
understanding from Allah, they're
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			the ones who will be able to do
this.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:31
			You think the prophets Allah was
born in his life? You think, oh my
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			god, I did not enjoy his life. You
think Abu Bakr Siddiq, or Dianna
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			was a miserable person, you think
was the man to dinner with the
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:41
			millions that he had you think he
didn't enjoy the world?
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45
			abdul-malik mouth, again, another
billionaire
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			who had these huge amounts of
wealth? He had all of that he
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			becomes Ashura, mashallah, he
becomes one of the 10 given the
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			glad tidings of paradise. Wow.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			Subhanallah
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			one of the
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:06
			righteous people was asked,
directly I had a solid him
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			in the SR Kadota, effort,
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			the prices, I mean, things are
becoming expensive, right? You
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			know, like today, you say, like,
everything's going up. We don't
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			know what's going to happen when
the borders are separated when the
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:26
			EU when we're out of the EU, and
duties and things like that.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			Prices are expensive. Everything's
going up.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:34
			Subhanallah So somebody said that
to one of the righteous people,
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:38
			person who's got understanding and
profound insight about Allah was
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:42
			working in this world. So he said,
and Zulu Hobbit Taqwa.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			If you have taqwa, he says, he
says lower lower the price is by
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			having Taqwa by having taqwa and
God fearing this in your general
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			life, on a mass scale because we
need to encourage each other. You
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			will see that all of these things
will become easier the baraka
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			To will be blessing will be there.
That's why it says that after ESA
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:07
			is I'm not I don't want this to
sound mythical, we live in a real
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			world. And we need to understand
this and put this in perspective.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			So it says that when a Saudi Salam
will descend on the earth, at the
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:20
			time, that is his appointed time,
after that, it's essentially the
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			whole story is that eventually
everybody will become a believer,
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:28
			because he will clarify, even to
the Christians as to what the true
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:32
			belief is everybody and then those
who will remain his enemies, then
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			he will fight against them, and
then eventually, that the jail
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			will be killed. It's a long story,
but basically afterwards it
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			mentions that everybody will
become a believer. And then he
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
			says that when everybody what the
Hadith mentions is that when
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:48
			everybody becomes a believer,
there is no evil left for for a
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			short amount of time, it will
remain like that for some years,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			it will remain like that until it
starts to deteriorate again. But
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			there will be seeing this glorious
period. And he says, there will be
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:00
			so much Baraka so much Baraka so
much blessing, that things will be
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			in abundance, things will be in
abundance.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			We've never experienced that. But
I just want to mention that as
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:14
			just the what Taqwa can do that's
like and that's a full, full
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:19
			fledged taco for everybody. We're
going to try to do just as much as
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			possible, at least in our own
homes. And then if each one of us
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			can focus on our own homes and the
community benefits from that.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31
			Number two, so the first one to
bring to bring about baraka and
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:36
			blessing is taqwa. The second one
is recitation of the Quran.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			reciting the Quran brings about
blessing because it's the word of
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			Allah. It's the divine Word of
Allah.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			When you read those words, it's
not just anybody's word. You know,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:54
			when you read the words of a poet,
how influenced you get when you
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			you know, when some of Iqbal's you
know, for those who understand or
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:01
			do when some of Iqbal is quoted,
you know, people start German, you
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:05
			know, German electoral, Gila,
Jeff, Iowa fan Omar Joe haram,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:09
			Boko Haram say, hey, Cassie
bootcut damage okay Bianca Reto
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			Sonam Vika here hurry, hurry,
right. Um, you know, people start
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:17
			getting excited. You know, I don't
know too many poems, but people
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			get excited. It has an effect. The
Quran is the word of Allah, our
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			Creator.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:28
			Then Zulu Mirabella mean it's the
reveal words it's the reveal word
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			from the Lord of the Worlds.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:34
			It has a profound effect. But
again, let's look at the Quran.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:40
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says Kitab
Wan and Zilla who ileka Mobarak
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:45
			This is a book that we have
revealed to you. It is a blessed
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			book. It's Mobarak it's blessed it
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:54
			Leah the Blue Yeti wali at avocado
oil Bob, but why have we revealed
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			this book to you so that people
will reflect over its verses?
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:05
			And those people with intellect
with true intellect will gain an
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09
			understanding. So the Quran is not
just to be read as most of us
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:14
			Indian, Pakistani Bangladeshi
people who just read the Quran for
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			60 years sometimes don't even know
what sort of fattier means, which
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:22
			is really sad. It's great that we
read a lot of Quran hamdulillah
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:26
			don't get me wrong, don't stop
reading the Quran. But let's get a
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			notch higher. At least understand
what we're reading take a Deaf
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:34
			See, take a translation, Leah the
baru iOttie kita Boon Angela who
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			ileka Mobile can
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:42
			do this is a book that we have
sent down to you. It is blessing
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:46
			so that people will ponder over
its verses and I guarantee you
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:51
			that anybody who ponders the Quran
with respect with honor, while
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:55
			feeling the sense of awe as to
whose words these are and looking
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:00
			for benefit and blessing, they
will be blessings. They will learn
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:06
			new things, the life their hearts
will be strengthened. Their misery
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:11
			will be removed, that depression
will be alleviated. Because the
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			Quran is a Shiva, fie, he she is
Shiva.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			Number three, dua
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:24
			asking Allah subhanaw taala That
in itself is another source of
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			baraka and blessing. That's why
the prophets of Allah is Allah
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:32
			made specific. Do ask for Baraka,
like in the marriage, when
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			somebody gets married, you say
about a koala hulak or Bata
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:38
			Karthik or Jamar Binaca Murphy. So
we ask Allah subhanaw taala to
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			bless us, we ask Allah for
blessing
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			number four
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:52
			which is really strange. Either
Masha fie Ville Mal, not to be
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:56
			greedy in acquiring wealth.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			It's like for us Baraka means
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			Having abundant but to gain
Baraka, don't be greedy in
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:09
			acquiring it, bless acquiring
wealth, then you get Baraka.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			How would you how would you
understand that? Do you
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			understand? It's like saying don't
do the thing that it's because the
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			definition that we have Baraka,
which is to have just lots is
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:24
			wrong. That's why our whole
understanding of it goes wrong.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:29
			Essentially, there's a hadith
related by Imam Muslim, where the
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said to Hakeem, he said,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			Yeah, Hakeem,
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:39
			in the huddle ml, how the rotten
Hello rotten. This wealth, these
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:44
			commodities that you see outside
these beautiful cars, in today's
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:49
			in today's life, these beautiful
cars and these estates and
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:56
			buildings and everything else, the
suits and phones and everything
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:02
			else. This is how the rotten Holy
Water, it's very green, and sweet,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:07
			essentially, because you had the
unsalted who are a farmer
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			community, in a sense, the more
hygiene, those will come from
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			Makkah, they were traders, because
they didn't have land. They were
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:18
			not jugular. Right. The children
were the inside, in a sense, they
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			had all the land, right, because
that Madina Munawwara was there
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:21
			was there
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			was there about So
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:29
			the Prophet Solomon was giving us
an example that this wealth that
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:34
			you see is just like this nice
green, and fresh and sweet crops.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			That's if you get if you're a
farmer, and you get some good
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			crops Subhanallah that's your,
that's your life is made.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:46
			SubhanAllah. So he said that this
wealth is just like that, how the
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:51
			rotten Holberton from an a hover,
who be Sahar with enough sin,
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:56
			whoever takes it, but with a
generous hearts with a generous in
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:02
			a generous state, thinking that
I'm taking this, I'm taking this
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:07
			to spend on others. I'm taking
this not to withhold for myself,
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:11
			Boudicca houfy, he will be given
blessing in it, for person takes
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:16
			it, he will be given a blessing in
it based on his intention. Our G
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			is another Hadith which says that
whoever take you know, when you
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23
			want to borrow money from someone,
what does the prophets Allah, some
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26
			say about that. He said, If you
have to borrow from someone,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:30
			whoever takes somebody else's
wealth, to borrow with an
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:35
			intention to pay back Allah will
help him pay back. But if you take
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:39
			from somebody else, with an
intention to swindle them and
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			deceive them, and not give it back
to them, or make them really cry
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:46
			for their money, then at luffa,
who Allahu Allah, Allah will cause
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			that to be destroyed for you. And
hence what that means is that you
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:53
			will not be given baraka and what
you do with that wealth will not
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:57
			go far. It'll be destroyed. You
will be miserable with that.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			Now, you've messed yourself up and
you've messed this other person
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			up. But if you have a good
intention, with the wealth to pay
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			it back, you will be given baraka
and blessing in it. So in this
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			hadith, though, same thing,
whoever takes wealth with a good
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:15
			open hearted intention, then he
will be given baraka and blessing
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			in it, or Mannahatta who will be
Ashraf enough sin, but whoever
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			takes it with a greed and avarice
of the hearts then love Mubarak Lo
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:27
			Fi then he will not be blessing in
this gala the cool Wallah Yeshua
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:31
			What a beautiful explanation. The
Prophet says I'm said then the
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			person will be like the person who
is eating eating, eating but he's
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			not getting satisfied. Because you
know, we have a mechanism a
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:40
			psychological mechanism that when
you eat a certain amount there are
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:46
			there are signals from the stomach
to the brain that you're full now
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			and thus you don't want to eat but
I mean, our our hospitality
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:55
			culture is that name or become the
throat like extra in your, in your
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			plate, which is very wrong. We
have these extreme cultures,
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:03
			right? We have mashallah our indo
Pak culture which mashallah tries
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			to stuff the food down your
throat? And then we have the
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:11
			culture, which is our culture of
the West in general, have some
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:17
			I've had an okay, fine. But the
guy, this guy, he's used to people
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:21
			forcing him. So he says, I don't
want you know, I'm done. So the
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			guy goes, Okay, fine. If you're
done, okay, take it away. And this
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:27
			guy's like, oh, no, man, you're
the Pakistani lagna. Anyway, you
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:31
			know. So what we need to do is,
you know, it's really bad to put
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:34
			things in somebody's plates.
People are a bit more health
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:37
			conscious these days, you have to
realize that people are more
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			health conscious, they do count
calories, right? When you say no,
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			no, it's just for today's and then
you start shoving in their plate
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			that's wrong. Yes. If you know
that they really want something
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			you feel like it then maybe do
that, but otherwise don't do that.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:52
			It's still it's oppression. Right?
It's oppression to stuff your
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			stomach and to stuff somebody
else's stomach as well. Yes, feed
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:59
			them. Well. You know what I think
we should do. To be honest, what
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			we need to do
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:07
			Have good food, excellent foods,
right? Good quality food, small
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			amounts. But it's nice and it's
excellent. There's no point in
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			having huge amounts of
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			cheap food, and then telling
people eat.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			So, anyway, these are just sight
thoughts.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:27
			So it's about taking worth. If a
person takes it with justice,
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:32
			greed, then it's like the person
is going to continue to eat, and
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:36
			he's not going to get satisfied,
then what happens? The stomach
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:41
			gets problems, it leads to
diseases. Upset Stomach, person
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:45
			can't sleep properly, then he has
to start taking soften Gaviscon
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:48
			and all these other things. He has
to go and take a walk when he's
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:52
			not used to taking walks
Subhanallah take the same thing.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:55
			When you have wealth. It'll just
be so great that you're getting
		
00:30:55 --> 00:31:00
			wealth, you have wealth, but
you're not satisfied. It's not
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			giving you any pleasure. It's
giving you misery. You got a lot
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:07
			of wealth but you got problems in
the business. Suddenly you got a
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:11
			tax bill. Inquiry, Allah prevent
Allah protect from these kinds of
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:17
			things. Suddenly you've got, you
know, somebody's broken, somebody
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			did a massive, you know, credit
card fraud.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			And then okay, you might get your
money back, but after six months,
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:27
			you know, you have to work behind
it. It takes away time from
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			everything else. This means
there's no Baraka. You're not
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			enjoying your foods, something's
come to upset it.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			Number five is
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			something more practical. The
prophets Allah some said.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:50
			Allahumma Burdick, the Almighty
fie bucola. This is a narration of
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:54
			Imam Muhammad from Iran, Muhammad,
probably sauce was the was that oh
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:58
			Allah give blessing to my ummah,
in the mornings.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:04
			And that is why Sahara comedy, he
would send his business people out
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:05
			in the morning.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			And he will be given blessing.
There's a blessing in the morning.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			That's why there's actually
another narration which mentioned
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			that those who sleep
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:20
			at sunrise, you know, after fajr
sunrise time, you can see after
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:23
			that if you want to if you because
in England, I mean, our sunrise is
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			sometimes four o'clock in the
morning, so you don't expect to
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:30
			stay awake. But those who sleep
around that time, they lose
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:31
			blessing, they lose Baraka.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:38
			They lose Baraka, and those who
get up early to do their business,
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:43
			not all night, but get up early to
do their business. They get Barak
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			and blessing him that and believe
me, there's a lot of blessing in
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:49
			the daytime. And this is this is
actually scientific in a sense
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:54
			that if you sleep early, any sleep
you get before 12 o'clock is much
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:58
			more potent than any sleep you get
after 12 o'clock, midnight. So one
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:02
			hour of sleep is probably worth
about two hours of sleep after 12
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05
			o'clock. It's very interesting.
This is the earlier you see we're
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:08
			on 10 o'clock, you will feel
refreshed at four o'clock in the
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:12
			morning. If you woke up from 10 to
four, that's probably enough, or
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:15
			10 to five, it's probably enough.
And there's a lot of people out
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:18
			there, non Muslims, the very
efficient people, they get up at
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21
			five o'clock in the morning and do
exercise before they start their
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22
			work.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			There's a lot of people who do
that they don't waste time
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			watching TV or night.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:31
			That's for third class people. If
you see the elite, they don't
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			waste time doing that kinds of day
they know what they're doing.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			They're not where they are for no
reason.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:41
			So working early in the morning is
as the Prophet sallallahu sallam
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:45
			said, the promises are made to
offer that. Number six is
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:51
			following the Sunnah, in whatever
activities we have in whatever we
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			do in our life to follow the way
of the promise of awesome, the
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:59
			professor Larson was human par
excellence. He was the most
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			moderate and perfect human being.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:07
			He said things that seemed to be
so insignificant, he said, Don't
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:12
			sit half in a shade and half out
of the shade. So half in the sun
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:16
			and half in a shade is just
unbalanced. He said, if you've
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:21
			only got one slipper, don't don't
walk in one slipper. It's not it's
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:26
			unbalanced. Either take both of
them off or get to slippers. He
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			said things like this is not just
so called overtly religious things
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:34
			that he spoke about. He talked
about practical things. Don't
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:38
			drink water that has been heated
by the sun.
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:42
			Because of certain ultraviolet
light or X ray or whatever, you
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:46
			know, rays or something like that
which can cause certain illnesses
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:50
			and problems. There's certain very
practical things that the prophets
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:54
			Allah Himself said at nighttime,
make sure you extinguish all of
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			your lamps.
		
00:34:56 --> 00:35:00
			Because otherwise it's possible
that an ant a rodent or
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			Whatever could just tip something
over and you could end up with a
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:07
			fire. Right okay that we don't
have these open kind of lamps
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08
			these days.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:13
			Cover your food at night. Don't
leave anything uncovered.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:19
			Because it says that this is when
the illnesses and diseases descend
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			at nighttime.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			Numerous things like that.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			So in this case, to follow the
Sunnah in every matter, for
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:31
			example, the Prophet sallallahu
sallam said, lick your fingers
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			after you eat.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:37
			lick your fingers after you eat.
There's up the ramen do that.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:40
			Yeah, mashallah about Habib ramen?
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			Yeah. And
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			what was your name again?
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:48
			Son, do you do that as well.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			Even if you don't, you can start
doing it from today when you eat
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			and thereafter, it will make sure
you wash your hands before though.
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			You don't want to be licking your
hands. If you haven't washed your
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:02
			hands. That's kind of gross. So
you wash your hands first, then
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:05
			you eat. And then you lick your
hands, you know, to, you know when
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:09
			you're eating rice or something.
So, so it's just to clean it off,
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:12
			so you don't waste anything. Now
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:17
			sallam said, lick your fingers.
Because he said in acuminata Runa
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:19
			fee a year to me Kemal Baraka,
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:24
			you don't know in which part or
particle of your food is the
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:29
			blessing. It's in one place. You
don't know whether it is. So don't
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:33
			waste it because you may be
throwing the bulk of pot out. You
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			know, sometimes, I remember once I
was with one family that invited
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:41
			me. And you know, some cultures,
the way they eat rice is a very
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:44
			interesting way they eat with
their fists. So they have this
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:48
			huge amount of rice. And then they
take with their fists like they
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			it's like they're shoveling it up
with their fist, and they kind of
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:55
			make a bowl with it. And then they
put it in their mouth. Now
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:58
			literally when they were eating
father and son and myself.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:03
			It was we were all eating together
from this big tray, like a big,
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:09
			big dish. And in front of them.
They had dropped so much to fill a
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			plate up.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13
			So I told him I said maybe you
should keep plates in front of you
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:16
			like small plates so that whatever
falls it falls into that plate.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20
			Because the rest of it is just
kind of taken. It's on the floor.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:25
			The Brabazon said don't do that.
Baraka is in conservation, you
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			think you can waste things that
Allah is going to give you more
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:31
			No, because these are limited
resources of the world. People are
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:36
			dying for a few, a few rice,
grains, people will be dying for
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:37
			that in other places.
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:41
			I remember when I was studying in
South Africa, and we went to eat
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:45
			in a like a mall, a semi mall or
something. We bought our chicken,
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:48
			whatever I was a student I didn't
buy much, you know, we were
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50
			careful about how much we bought.
And
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:57
			I took it and I finished eating my
friend finished eating. And then
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			after that we went and put the
tubs by the you know, the
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:07
			packaging by the bin. And somebody
then comes up and he says, I don't
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			understand why he said this,
because then somebody immediately
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:14
			came along and opened it up to see
if there was any, any flesh left
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			on that chicken,
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:19
			that leg or whatever it was.
That's what he would do. Anybody
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:22
			threw somebody in, they will
check. So somebody came and said,
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:26
			Thanks for leaving him something.
That was not our intention. We
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:28
			probably just didn't clean it
properly. You understand? But
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:32
			that's what made me think
Subhanallah we take these things
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:35
			for granted. Wasting never helps.
That's why there's a hadith of
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37
			Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam which
is
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:43
			a disorder of enough of cattiness
will Maisha moderation in spending
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			is half of your livelihood.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:50
			We have no control of what comes
in. But we know what's coming. We
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:54
			do have control of what goes out.
If you're moderate in that you
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:58
			sold half of your livelihood
problem, just budget. Don't look
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:01
			at what others are doing. You
don't have that kind of ability.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02
			Don't look at that.
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:09
			Do what you can do and be
moderates. Then the wife doesn't
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12
			have to go and work. You don't
have to force the wife to work.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:17
			You don't then have to force your
older children to go on work. It
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:21
			will be sufficed, they can focus
on their education, maybe yes, we
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			should encourage our children to
become responsible.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:30
			Number seven, is is still far to
do is take for this is the very
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:33
			powerful one. This is very
powerful.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:38
			Allah subhanho wa Taala you see
Hassan bossy, Rahmatullah. Allah
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:42
			wants his sitting, and somebody
comes and asks him a question. He
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:46
			was like a counselor. He was like
a religious guy, a spiritual
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:51
			guide. People came to him because
he was a master of all sciences.
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:54
			Somebody came and said, you know,
in our area, we got drought,
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			there's no rain.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:59
			There's no rain. So he said, Stop
feeling love
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			You need to do stuff out of a lady
to seek forgiveness from Allah.
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:07
			Because when sins are removed,
then the blessings begin. Remember
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:14
			well off while Quran taco you do
is still far and then that means
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:18
			the sins are gone. People who have
Taqwa they're not going to be
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:21
			engaged in sin. Same thing the
borrower card comes. The borrower,
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:25
			the borrower comes when you have
that when you have Taqwa. So he
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:29
			said it's the filler. So the
person Okay, goes away. Now the
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:35
			person comes, he says, We're
poverty stricken. We need
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:41
			stockfeed Allah same thing do is
too far. Okay. Third person comes
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:41
			in.
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:46
			He says you know having problem we
can't get any male offspring.
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:50
			We're trying but we don't get we
want a son.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:56
			And I'm sure people know how that
feels because the society is
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:59
			really bad. There's a woman who
called me once she said please
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:05
			make dua please make dua is my
economy which number child if I
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:10
			don't have a son this time, my in
laws are gonna know what they're
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			going to do to me. Please make dua
for me that I get a son
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:16
			as though it's in her hands.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			They don't blame the guys like
they blame the girl that I bring a
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			son MAN design a son inside you.
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:26
			They blaming Allah subhanho wa
Taala really but it's the culture
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:30
			a culture is just sometimes
overcomes the deen which is sad.
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:33
			Anyway said do so far
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:35
			is the fibula
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			then a fourth person comes in you
know, probably over a few
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:43
			occasions this happened. It wasn't
like 123 doesn't have to be like
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:47
			that. It could have been over the
occasion. You know the wells the
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:52
			water has dried up water source is
stuck fairly low. Now this person
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:56
			who's sitting with one of his
students or somebody he says shake
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:00
			What's going on everybody you're
giving the same medicine is still
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:04
			fairly low paracetamol
paracetamol, paracetamol in like
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06
			doctors you go to them what do
they give you paracetamol or cream
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:09
			E for five? Just depends you know
if it's an internal problem,
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:11
			external problem, right.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:14
			So,
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:18
			no, no, this is this is not
paracetamol, this is some serious
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:23
			stuff is too far. So when the his
student asked him that question,
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			he said look, this is what Allah
says in the Quran.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:27
			Allah says
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:32
			that in sort sort of know
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34
			what's the Iona?
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			Yes. Is it
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:41
			call to steal Pharaoh Rebecca.
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46
			seek forgiveness from your Lord.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:47
			Then
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			in the who can as a father because
your Lord is the Most Forgiving
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:54
			you've got a reason to it's not
like you're asking somebody who
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:59
			can't give you forgiveness. Allah
remind us that far, abundantly
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:00
			forgiving.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:04
			Forgive the greatest or the
smallest of sins and He will
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:07
			forgive you whether you sin over
and over and over again he doesn't
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:12
			tie it that's what he says as far
as opposed to just love it. So in
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:17
			our carnal afara you will see this
summer are a committed rara he
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			will send down rain to you in
abundance.
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:26
			connection here, your city sama on
a Commodore ora. When you did come
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:31
			be a morning we're benim and he
will extend and assist you with
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:38
			wealth. Poverty gone. And children
Bonnin sons
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:44
			wager Allah calm and Hora and he
will give you He will allow the
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:47
			lakes to flow for you. Perfect,
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:52
			perfect solutions, perfect
prescriptions from the Quran. Were
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:53
			better.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:44:00
			These are the means. So let me
just repeat the means Doku Allah.
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:06
			Now, the koala recitation of the
Quran with some pondering and
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:08
			reflection do
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:17
			not to be greedy, and selfish when
seeking wealth, have open hearts
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:24
			about it and is thinking about it.
And following the Sunnah as much
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:27
			as possible in everything that we
do.
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:33
			Starting your work early in the
morning, changing your schedule C
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			is changing the schedule, which
means you'll become a more
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:40
			productive person. All of these
things are not just magical
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:43
			things. They are practical things
rather than if you're going to
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:46
			wake up in the morning and do your
business. You're going to be tired
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:49
			by 10 o'clock that you're going to
want to go to sleep. A lot of
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:52
			people say I can't sleep at night
because we then wake up late in
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:55
			the morning. If you're forced the
way they say is to change the way
		
00:44:55 --> 00:45:00
			they say to change your schedule
is that wake yourself up some
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			However the other early in the
morning for a few days and then
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:05
			you will find that you will want
to go to sleep early and your
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:09
			whole mental clock will change
afterwards the mental clock will
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:12
			then adjust because everybody has
a mental clock they used to it.
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:17
			And finally is stuck for continue
to do is stick for continue to do
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:22
			is different. Let me tell you
finish off. There's a very
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:26
			interesting story who's who's from
miracle here? Anybody from
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:29
			miracle? Because the story about
miracle.
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:34
			So in Gujranwala, in one of the
villages of Gujranwala, there was
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:39
			a hockey himself, he used to have
a surgery in town in the city, he
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:44
			had a very strange way of working
unusual way that most of us
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:45
			wouldn't understand.
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:50
			He would go to the city every day
to open up his surgery. Before
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:53
			leaving, he would ask his wife
from the village, what do you need
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:57
			from the city today, so which
masala you know, some spices, I
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59
			need some oil, I need this, she
would write it on a piece of
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:03
			paper, and he would take it with
him. When he would get there he
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:07
			would check the paper the list
only after getting the he would
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:10
			look at it and he would he would
then budget you'd say okay, this
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:14
			cost 20 rupees and this cost 50
rupees, he would then total that
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:17
			up. And then he would make a dua
to Allah subhanaw taala, he would
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:22
			say that, Oh Allah, I'm only
coming here to, to earn a living
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:27
			for my dependent ones. So when I
have earned this living, as soon
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:32
			as you give me this amount, then I
will close shop and go back nearly
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:37
			every day by about 930 to about 10
o'clock, he would see whichever
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:42
			patients would come in. And he as
soon as he made that amount of
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:46
			money, if he was 500 rupees, 300
rupees, then he would close up,
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48
			and then he would go back, he
would he would do his little
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:51
			shopping and he would go back
everyday. This was his story. He
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:56
			says, I'm only doing this to
fulfill my obligation of living,
		
00:46:56 --> 00:47:00
			of looking after my dependent
ones. One day,
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:05
			he left home as normal. And his
wife gave him a little
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:11
			piece of paper with the list. So
he gets the opens up his surgery.
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:16
			And he looks to start the budget.
And there's a few spices and
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:18
			things like that he budgets them
and then it says
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:23
			the daughters Jahaz Gamal
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:28
			meaning his daughter is going to
get married. So all of the things
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:32
			that she needs to give to the
other side, all the supplies that
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:34
			you have to give in these
cultures, unfortunately, it's
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:38
			there. And sometimes that could
debilitate people in getting their
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:40
			daughters married. It's really
strange.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:45
			In Arab countries, it's about the
man having to pay a huge amount of
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:49
			money. But in some of our
countries, in some areas, like in
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:53
			some areas of India, some areas of
Pakistan and Bangladesh, the girl
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:58
			has to cough up. And if a guy has
had five daughters, he is going to
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			be miserable because of this
culture.
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:03
			So
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:09
			he looks at that and he he writes
next to it, he said, You Aloka
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:13
			come here. Hola, Jana. Right? This
is I'm going to have to leave to
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:16
			Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah
knows best how I'm going to make
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:20
			this is used to everyday making
the few 100 rupees, or you know, a
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:23
			few 1000 Whatever it is, and this
is just a huge amount of
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:24
			difference.
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:29
			And he starts his work. And he has
seen patients, he sees a few
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:33
			patients, and then suddenly this
big car pulls up outside and cars
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:36
			pull up all the time in that area.
And so he didn't give it a second
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:41
			look, it is normal. And a person
comes in. This suited booted guy
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:42
			comes in.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:49
			And he sits on the bench. So after
Hakeem finishes off with the
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:53
			current patients, he says to me,
says, if you would like me, if
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:56
			it's something about yourself, and
please come next to me on this
		
00:48:56 --> 00:49:00
			chair, so I can check your pulse.
So I can diagnose your problem or
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:03
			if it if you come here to ask for
somebody else's medicine, then let
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:05
			me know what the symptoms are,
what the problems are, and I'll
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:06
			make your medicine.
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:11
			So the person says my name is such
and such, but it looks like you
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13
			haven't recognized me.
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:19
			So that Hakeem sub probably looks
bewildered. So he says,
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:26
			Let me tell you 15 years ago, I
had been I'm from Miramar.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:30
			But I'm coming from Lahore, and on
my way from Lahore to Munich,
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:31
			where I pass by
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:37
			this area every time 5015 years
ago.
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:40
			As we were passing by this area,
we had a puncture.
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:49
			And it was really hot in the late
morning, and as my driver was
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:52
			fixing the puncture, I was there
standing in the heat. And you saw
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:57
			me so you came outside and said
come in and sit down. So you made
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:59
			me sit down and you had a small
girl with you
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:05
			And it took a while for the
puncture to be fixed. But in that
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:08
			time your daughter kept telling
you, Oh, Father, Father, come on,
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			why are you taking so long? Let's
go home, you know, it's, you know,
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:14
			I'm hungry, or whatever it is, I'm
hungry, you know, we need to go
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:17
			home. And you kept telling her,
just be patient, just be patient.
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:19
			Then
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:23
			I thought to myself, 15 years ago,
when I was sitting there, that I'm
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:28
			sitting here for free, maybe I
should do something, this person
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:28
			is
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:33
			even laying his daughter, you
know, comforting her. And, you
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:38
			know, just for my sake, because so
he said, that I decided to tell
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:42
			you my story that I've been in
England for five years. Now, this
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:45
			story was sent to me, I don't know
who this person is. I'd like to
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:46
			meet him one day, if I could.
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:53
			If it is a true story, right? So I
mean, I have no reason to doubt
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:56
			that it's a true story. He said,
I'd been in England five years,
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:59
			we've been trying to have
children. But we just can't have
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:02
			sure we've tried everything we've
been had tests done in the you
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:04
			know, in the hospitals there.
We've done everything, but we just
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:11
			cannot have children. So as I'm
saying this, he started getting
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:15
			some potions of medicine ready. He
split it up. And then he put it
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:19
			into two separate packages. And
then he asked me my name. And I
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:22
			said, my name is so and so. So he
made he wrote it. And then he
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:26
			said, Look, the problem you have
only Allah subhanaw taala can fix
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:29
			that. Doesn't matter who does
tests doesn't matter who gives you
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:30
			medicine?
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:33
			He doesn't tell you that, oh, I've
got a medicine for you. It's going
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:36
			to cost you this much. He said, It
doesn't matter what medicine you
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:39
			take, which Hakeem gives you
medicine. It's only up to Allah
		
00:51:39 --> 00:51:42
			subhanaw taala you need to ask
Allah because he is the provider.
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:46
			And then he said, Look, this one
is for you. And this one is for
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:50
			your wife. He put the two the two
envelopes into a larger envelope,
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:54
			a larger package, and he gave it
to him. So I said, Okay, how much
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:59
			is it? He said, No, today's
today's balances is full. Today's
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:04
			businesses closed. Sunday. Okay,
what do you mean is closed. The
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:06
			whole reason I did this is to pay
you something and you're telling
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:09
			me that the business is closed. So
there was somebody else who'd come
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:13
			in, who was a local, he probably
knew he said, What he means is
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:17
			that every day he comes in the
morning, and however much he needs
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:18
			for that day's
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			expenditure. That's how much he
works. And then after that, he
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:24
			doesn't do anything over that.
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:26
			So
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:32
			he said, this was quite amazing.
And then, and then I left. When I
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:34
			got home, I told my wife this
story.
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:40
			And she was amazed by the story
that this Hakeem SAAB is such a
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:45
			noble person, such a great human
being that he first hosted you
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:48
			like this, then didn't even take
advantage of your situation.
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:53
			Right, looking at you as a person
who's wealthy, there must be some
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:56
			blessing and Baraka in this
medicine. Let's take it. They
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:58
			started, you know, praying to
Allah, whatever is and they
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:02
			started taking this medicine. And
he says today Alhamdulillah I have
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:07
			three children. I have three
beautiful daughters. I believe you
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:09
			said daughters, so they have three
beautiful children.
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:12
			Now what happened is,
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:19
			I have come right now, because my
most of my family is in England.
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:21
			Right? What's new,
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:26
			most of my family is England. I've
just got one sister, who's a
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:31
			widow, who who's lost her husband,
she's a widow. And she's a widow.
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:37
			And she has a daughter. And it's,
she's, I think 21 years old or
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:42
			something. And she, her marriage
is on the 21st of this month. And
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:45
			we have come as a family. And we
have taken responsibility for her
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:48
			that she's our sister, she doesn't
have any money. We are going to
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:50
			pay the jazz, we're going to pay
everything we're going to take
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:52
			care of the entire marriage.
		
00:53:53 --> 00:53:54
			That's what we had come for.
		
00:53:55 --> 00:54:00
			However, what happened just five
days before, so it's on the 21st
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:04
			but five days before, what
happened is that she had gone
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:08
			shopping into the market and felt
some headache or something come
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:13
			on. She didn't tell anybody. She
developed a fever, but she didn't
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:16
			mention anything in the excitement
or whatever the case is. And
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:19
			finally she fell down in the
market after doing a lot of the
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:22
			shopping. They took her to the
hospital but she had a very high
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:24
			fever. They couldn't save her and
she passed away.
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:29
			Now we've done a lot of the
purchase and everything. And me
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:34
			and my wife have decided and it
came into our mind that you're in
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:38
			this Gujranwala area. And we
remember that you have a small
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:42
			daughter. We don't know what her
state is, whenever she's going to
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:48
			get married. If it's now or later.
If it's now then we want to sort
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:49
			the whole wedding out
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:57
			and tell us your address. And we
will send all of the
		
00:54:58 --> 00:54:59
			summon
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:05
			All the shopping that we've done
for it, tell us our, our truck or
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:07
			whatever it is, we'll come and
drop it at your place.
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:12
			And if it's later on, then that's
fine. We'll give you the money for
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:15
			it. But if it's now then we want
to do it.
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:23
			And this Hakeem sub is just just
looking totally dumbfounded. He
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:26
			just can't believe what's
happening here. So
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:29
			he says,
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:32
			that this morning I came.
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:37
			And this is generally what I do
that I look at my budget, and this
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:40
			is what my wife had written. And
this is what I had written there.
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:43
			I'll tell you exactly what he had
written.
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:49
			He says, I think I should say this
in order because
		
00:55:50 --> 00:55:51
			who doesn't understand will do
here better?
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:55
			I'll translate it for you as well.
Halfway, I'll translate it for
		
00:55:55 --> 00:56:00
			you. Not so the person tells him.
You have no refusal rights here.
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:03
			You're going to take this, I think
is making an imposition on him.
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:09
			Here Allah, Allah. He said

00:56:11 --> 00:56:16

00:57:54 --> 00:57:56
			He said he was dumbstruck. He
said, Look, I don't even
		
00:57:56 --> 00:57:58
			understand what's going on. Right?
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:02
			He said this morning when my wife
gave me the
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:08
			list. And I came and checked it
out. And it had Jessica salmon,
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:13
			which means everything you need
for a marriage for your daughter.
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:17
			I was just how am I going to do
this? So I wrote that this is for
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:21
			Allah meaning this is I'm going to
leave this to Allah. Allah knows
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:25
			best how to deal with this. And
now you come he says, I do feel
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:30

00:58:33 --> 00:58:35
			are great one oh benevolent one.
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:40
			And then basically he says this,
this is what's important to
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:46
			understand. He says, he says that,
since I have become mature, and
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:48
			discerning and understanding.
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:53
			He says that there is one lesson
that I always do that I have read
		
00:58:53 --> 00:58:57
			and that I always follow, which is
the in the morning I say raazi
		
00:58:57 --> 00:59:01
			Karasik to heroes IC. O Sustainer.
O Sustainer. You're the only
		
00:59:01 --> 00:59:08
			Sustainer everything comes from
you. And he says are Shymko Sugar,
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:12
			Sugar Mala Tara sugar. Thank you.
Thank you gratitude. It's only
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:16
			thanks to you. Oh Allah. He is
starting his day off with Allah.
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:20
			He's ending his day with Allah
subhanho wa taala. And everything
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:24
			in between is Mubarak and Baraka.
In fact, what the person had said
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:28
			is that I've been trying to catch
you for a few days. Every day I've
		
00:59:28 --> 00:59:30
			come I come in afternoon or
evening, your your story is
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:34
			closed. So yesterday, somebody
told me you need to come at nine
		
00:59:34 --> 00:59:36
			o'clock in the morning to catch up
himself. And that's why I'm here
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:37
			today.
		
00:59:39 --> 00:59:42
			Now, if we could have that kind of
Barack and blessing, and you know,
		
00:59:42 --> 00:59:47
			this is recent times, you know,
this is probably last 1015 20
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:51
			years. And this is not the only
story. We don't have the time, but
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:54
			there is stories like this from
Maulana Yunus Patel, who was a
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:58
			wonderful person on Rahima, who
has passed away now in in Durban,
		
00:59:58 --> 00:59:59
			South Africa.
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:03
			There are things like this about
him as well that I've heard, but
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:06
			it requires a certain level of
Tawakkol to do this, you can't do
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:09
			this. If you don't have reliance
in Allah. You don't have any trust
		
01:00:09 --> 01:00:11
			in Allah how you're going to do
it. You're gonna think Is he gonna
		
01:00:11 --> 01:00:14
			give me or not? Is he going to
give me but if your Eman is strong
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:17
			and you have the taqwa and you
have the Tawakkol then you will do
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:20
			something like this. May Allah
grant us this level of Taqwa that
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:24
			serious May Allah grant us this is
not a story of 700 years ago or
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:28
			1000 years ago, this is recent
time with everything England,
		
01:00:28 --> 01:00:32
			Pakistan, Punjab, Miracle Kashmir,
everything involved. May Allah
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:36
			subhanaw taala make this a reality
for us. May Allah subhanaw taala
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:38
			grant us an understanding I'm not
saying that that's all we can we
		
01:00:38 --> 01:00:41
			will do as well but at least it
gives us some understanding of
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:44
