in Hi Thula the same.

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 Muhammad Ali said

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

boring for the rest of you, but for our brothers.

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

sorrow that your daughter your niece has died. But I'm just

00:58:30 --> 00:58:33

Subhan Allah He calls out to Allah subhanho wa Taala Oh, Karim Avi

00:58:33 --> 00:58:35

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

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

01:00:41 --> 01:00:44
