The journey of spiritual journey involves practicing spiritual practices, including twisting on the chest and kissing the blackstone. Shay bills are not allowed, and shaytan challenge is designed to create physical objects.

			Alhamdulillah Allah subhanho wa

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			allowing us to get to this stage.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:01
			And we seek forgiveness for any
shortcomings. We seek forgiveness
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			for any shortcomings in our
fulfillment of these rights that
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			we had. And clearly we've had some
shortcomings. Allah subhana wa
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:18
			Tada forgive that and allow our
Hajj to be accepted fully. And
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:24
			that we go back to our families
with a full share of blessings
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			mercy,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada as bounties
from here. And when we get to
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			Chicago O'Hare Airport. So if
that's where you come from, that
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			we don't lose it there as soon as
you pick up your luggage, because
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			that's what happens.
Unfortunately,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			this is an amazing setup that we
have here. I don't know if
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			anybody's thought about this, like
this, it's a reality. The reality
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			is that for the last however long
we've been here, we've only been
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:57
			exclusively among Muslims,
believers. And among the Muslims,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			we've been among those who are
here on a purpose. Right, they are
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			here for a purpose, they are here,
not to mess around, not to do not
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			to be distracted, though there is
distraction. They've been here for
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:15
			a purpose. And that's amazing that
we can be part of that. That kind
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			of an environment that in itself
is actually to find that kind of
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:25
			an environment is very, very
valuable. So Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			has made it like that for a
reason. This is an exclusive
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			worship, fasting comes to
everybody at your home, wherever
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			you are. You don't have to go
anywhere too fast, you could be
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:41
			anywhere and fasting is obligatory
on you. But for Hajj, you have to
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			undertake this journey, whether
that's a financial burden for
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:49
			some, or a physical burden for
others, it's different things for
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			different people, but it's
definitely a burden of some sorts.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			Even there is no such thing as a
five plus five star Hajj. Even in
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			a five star hotel, it's only as
good as the hotel and then as soon
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			as you get out, you're like
everybody else. Right? There's no
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:09
			bridge to the Kaaba for, you know,
for anybody. It is what it is. So
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			this environment, Allah subhanho
wa Taala provides us
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			where he brings so many people
together of different ethnicities
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			and backgrounds and languages and
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			cultures and practices and so on,
which in itself is a massive
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			challenge.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			I mean, just two people to get
along. There's so many differences
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			that you have to negotiate. So
when you've got people from
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			various different cultures, then
clearly there's a lot more things
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			that you have to worry about. But
then, after bringing all of these
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			people, Allah subhanaw taala says,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			For our officer,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			what are for suka? What are Judah
the village that you don't use any
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			obscene language? No vulgarity, no
insults.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			Nothing
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			unchaste no vices, no sexual vices
no no discussions like that, even
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			if you're with even if a person is
with their wife.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			And of course, no arguments, no
debates, no conflicts, just try to
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			avoid all of that. So I think
there's a lesson if Allah is
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			telling us to do this and throwing
us all together in the ring, is
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			telling us sort yourself out now
that with all of these different
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			things and challenges, somebody's
going to step on your toe.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			Somebody's going to take the space
before you somebody's going to
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			jump into the queue. But follow
Rafa. Willa, who sue Kavala
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40
			jaydata Phil hatch. So it's not
just a spiritual activity that
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			we're here for, and a spiritual
accomplishment. We're also here
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			for conduct and character. And
that's probably one of the reasons
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			why Allah brings us together on
Fridays in our localities for the
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			Friday prayer where we learn
something extra, but then he
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			brings the whole Muslim Ummah
together so that we can learn from
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			one another as well. And we can
have this as a training ground,
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			aside from our spirituality also
conduct because a Muslim, the
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			first thing that somebody sees
about somebody else a non Muslim
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			is going to see of a Muslim is
their conduct. Nobody goes no non
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:15
			Muslim,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:22
			goes and reads a book on Syrah.
No, very few non Muslims actually
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			watch a movie about the Prophet
sallallahu. So they may watch the
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			negative ones, the satires, the
problematic ones that have been
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:34
			made. But very few Muslims go very
few non Muslims will go and try to
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			look for something to find the
reality of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:42
			sallam. And really, we have been
made, the manifestation of that
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			we've been made, the exemplars of
that were the ones who are
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			supposed to be manifesting that
were the ones to vote so high, I
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:55
			think is also an aspect of
character. Now, Allah subhanho wa
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:01
			Taala says, we're told that once
you've done your pelting and your
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:06
			sacrifice on the 10th of villager,
which was yesterday, then you can
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			now cut your hair. And now you can
wear normal clothing, you can be
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			out of your two garments, for the
men at least. And you can start
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			using perfume, etc, etc. But
you're still not allowed one more
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			thing until you do the office era.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26
			And that is, you're not allowed to
have any kind of sexual intimacy
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:32
			with the spouse. So why not
because this, this journey, not
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			just for the hajis. But this time
for anybody in the world who is
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			celebrating their either such is
all about the magnification of
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:47
			Allah, the glory of Allah, the
Majesty of Allah. So while we're
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			going around his house, we've
developed that connection of going
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			around the house of our beloved,
if you've been able to go and put
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			your chest at the militarism and
your cheek there, then you would
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:02
			have felt that there's no more
powerful emotion, feeling of
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:06
			closeness to Allah subhanaw taala,
as it is there. And of course,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			that's difficult to to get there.
And if you've been able to kiss
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			the Blackstone, then you know
humans love to kiss their beloved,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			but we can't do that. So because
the Blackstone, that's just an
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:19
			expression that Allah has the
promise Austin has given us to do.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			And then
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			Allah says, I want you to go and
do that final tawaf is not a final
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:31
			thought. But I want you to do that
one more main tawaf is been made
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			obligatory, that are often a
father to Office era. So that
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:39
			before you express your intimacy,
your love with anybody else, you
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			express your love for me. So after
you've done everything else, you
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:46
			need to go and go around the house
of ALLAH SubhanA, WA, tada. And
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			Hamdulillah I think most of us
have done that now. May Allah
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			subhanaw taala accept it. And then
after that, everything is fine.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:56
			Now now strangely enough, there's
two days left that we have with
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:00
			today, and tomorrow, and then
possibly a third day and the only
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:04
			activity in that entire day. Right
that the prophets, Allah lorrison
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			Did as in an obligatory activity.
There's other things about, you
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			know, learning from one another,
all of that is subsumed within it.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			But the main activity is going to
help the shaytaan. So I've been
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:20
			wondering why is there so much
pelting of the shaytaan? There's
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			only two or three dwarfs. Right.
There's only one side, but you
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			pelting the shaytaan for three
days.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			Okay, so we're pelting the
shaytaan for three days
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			after all of the other activities,
which seem more significant, which
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:44
			is going to be throwing a few
stones, right? I mean, what do you
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			even feel down there? We just go
in there trying to beat the hustle
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			bustle, trying to find a good
location, not beating, you know,
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			not hit somebody on the head and
just making sure that our stone
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			gets in there. What is that all
about? So I've always been
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			wondering about that. And today
while we were doing that,
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			I don't know you just don't and
Allah subhanaw taala knows best
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			but
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			everything else that we've done,
like our tawaf and sati. And all
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			of that.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			That's what we do here. It's done.
Some people may have recorded it,
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			but I don't know what that's gonna
do for them. Right. But that's it,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:22
			it's done. There's one major can,
there's one major challenge that's
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			going to continue, which is the
shaytaan.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:30
			So shaytan is alive and kicking
right now. In Ramadan, shaitaan is
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			put aside, right, but when it
comes to Hajj is still around.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			So
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			what la vida, maybe there's some
symbolism here,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:44
			and an instruction here, that
after everything else that you've
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			done, which is grateful here, and
inshallah you will take the
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			blessings back. But there's going
to be one major challenge is going
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			to continue with you and remain
with you all the way for the rest
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			of your life. And that is the
shape on. So we're casting the
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:03
			stones on the shaytaan for these
three days. That's what we're
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			ending with. And hopefully that
teaches us that we need to
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:12
			continue to inshallah cast,
metaphorical stone symbolic stones
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			to the shaytaan every time
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:20
			there's a wasp versal. Now, the
shaytaan is an interesting person,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			an interesting individual, in the
sense of the way that Allah
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:28
			subhanaw taala has allowed the
shaytaan to be and his formulation
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:32
			and his ability that Allah has
given him temporarily, which is
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			that
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:38
			the shaytaan is I mean, this is a
claim I'm going to make that the
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:42
			shaytaan knows every single one of
us more than our parents do.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			He knows exactly what makes us
tick. He knows that when we look
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			at someone, we're probably going
to argue, when we look at
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			somebody, we're probably going to
have some other desire. When we
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:59
			look at a certain gadget, then
this is going to come about right.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:03
			He knows exactly what makes us
tick. Shaitan never forces your
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			hand by grabbing your hand or your
feet or your tongue and making you
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:14
			say or act something else. He just
whispers because he knows what
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:19
			makes us emotional. What makes us
angry. Now, what's interesting
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			here is that
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			how many Shakedowns are there in
the world?
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			So, do we have any hands here?
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			Okay, Mashallah. So there's not
one shaytaan for the Han family.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			Right? There's not one shaytaan
for the deen family. There's not
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:45
			one shaytaan for Elgin, Illinois,
right? Or the one for Chicago, or
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:49
			one for Dar Salam, right? Yeah,
let's give a special one to Daraa
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			salaam because they're doing a lot
of good work. Right? There's a
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:56
			shaytaan for every single
individual. In the family, every
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			individual's hadith of Sahih
Muslim, we say is that as soon as
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:04
			a child is born, this is a shaytan
that is assigned. And that shaytan
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			is from our birth, so you can
understand how much he knows about
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			us. So he knows how to.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			So the reason I'm mentioning this
is not to glorify the shape pond,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18
			right, but these are the days of
shape on in the sense that the two
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			to repel the shaytaan. So you can
only Repel your enemy if you know
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:27
			more about the enemy. Otherwise,
the enemy continues to deceive us,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			because it comes in the
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:34
			in the garb of something else, and
the shaytaan causes through our
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:38
			body. As the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, just like
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:42
			the blood coursing through our
body, this is just some capability
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			that Allah has given them. But the
one great thing that Allah has
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			given us the antidote to shaytaan,
or the kryptonite, as they say in
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:53
			Superman language, right? Is our
older bIllahi min ash shaytani, R
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			rajim. Or any actually any
thicker.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:01
			Any thicker, you say I owe the
biller, the shaytaan has to go, he
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:05
			has to run away. Now people are
going to usually ask them, How can
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			we still feel like doing sins I'm
saying I will be law In fact, some
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			people are saying that I'm in my
solids, which is full of the best
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			of the car, the best of the
remembrances, and I'm planning my
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:21
			next in like it's overcome me. I
just can't wait to finish because
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			I'm a religious guy. So let me at
least do my salah before I go and
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:29
			get my next hit of whatever it is.
Why is the shaytaan so powerful.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:33
			I'm saying all the beloved doing
Fatiha. I'm doing this V I'm doing
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:37
			tech Vera and everything. That's
something different that's the
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			enough's. That's not shaytaan if
the thought continues to persist,
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			it is no longer from the shaytaan
shaytaan might have just kindled
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			it. Now it's the knifes that have
taken over. That's why in Ramadan
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			while the shaytaan is out of the
picture, we still feel like doing
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58
			sins, but if you take a good look
at that you will see that the sin
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			is actually a habit
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			We never feel like doing a new sin
in Ramadan. I never listened to
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			music. You know, it's Ramadan.
Hey, let me just start listening
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:10
			to some crazy music. Nobody does
that. It's usually always we're
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:14
			challenged by whatever we're used
to doing because it's just the
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:18
			habit kicking in no smoker wants
to smoke in Ramadan. Well,
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			hopefully not. But you still have
to maybe an Iftar time, you know,
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			might have to have that one
cigarette because the habits,
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:30
			right? So likewise, that's the way
shaytan works. He inspires our job
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35
			is to develop that resistance. The
way resistance is developed in
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:39
			hijacking is all the blessings
that have descended upon us in our
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:43
			efforts was deliver and in Mina
and every other place inshallah
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			that's filled our hearts our
lives. I mean, there's a hadith of
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			the prophets on the dua of noon,
of Allah.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:55
			Please light in my eyes, in my
ears, on my tongue, in my heart,
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			in my muscles.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:02
			On my right on my left in front of
me, behind me, above me, make me
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:07
			lights. That's the kind of an idea
of where we are. And the problem
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:11
			is that as we go out and we start
intermingling with others, we're
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			going to start losing some of
that. That's the issue. How do we
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			maintain as much as possible? Of
course when we're out of here,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			back home, we're going to lose a
lot of that and hopefully we don't
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			lose it all. Subhanallah there's
some people they get to
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:33
			London Heathrow lax hijab comes
off the bat shaved off they
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			already talking to whoever it was
haram to speak to hey, I'm back.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			Right? These are just symbolic
ideas these are not obsessed with
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			these ideas just you know, going
back into the same business Hey,
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:48
			where's where's he going? You
know, where's the next the next
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52
			deal coming along? The next haram
shady deal or whatever it is, you
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			know? So Allah make it easy for
us, Allah me because it's the
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			resistance, that's what we need to
do is the resistance is very
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:58
			important
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:05
			that we can take this with us
because the prophets of Allah
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:09
			Islam has promised us truth.
There's two things that he says
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			about the * which is very
relevant now for this next section
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			of our life after Hajj. One is
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:21
			that the the accepted Hajj is
essentially for the one who goes
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:25
			back. Hajj has the potential and
the ability
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:30
			to make us transform us back to
the way we were though we're
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:34
			adults. Now. Back to how we were
when we were born in terms of our
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			balance of deeds and our hearts.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:42
			The Hajj has that potential. And
number two, just to get an idea
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			that the Hadith says
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:50
			to people who are not in hajj, go
and
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:58
			meet a * a pilgrim before he
enters his house, before he or she
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			enters their house, go and meet
them and ask them for forgiveness.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			Because they are Mfu love them
they're forgiven.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			This is what the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam is saying. So
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:14
			Hamdulillah we, in sha Allah we've
attained attained a high level of
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			an absolute forgiveness right in
sha Allah Allah make it like that
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			despite the weakness and the
paucity of what we've had to
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			offer, but at least we've had some
forgiveness inshallah I don't
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			think anybody goes out if he would
no forgiveness. I mean, come on.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			Right? I really don't think so.
Insha Allah is my hope with Allah
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			subhanho wa Taala I know we're bad
people but come on. We Our Allah
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:41
			is great, right? So Subhanallah so
we're, there's a brother now
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:47
			mashallah he's trying to arrange a
hudge * transportation service,
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			when hajis return home is
volunteers to come and pick them
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			up with their family can't pick
them up. Right, which is
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			beautiful, because then they'll
get there to us. But this is
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			what's promised. It tells us that
we are forgiven like so. Really, I
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:03
			think we need to really understand
that and take that as a
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			significant point that inshallah
I'm forgiven.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			I don't want to mess it up. Now. I
don't when I say forgiving, it's
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			not like hey, I can do whatever I
want now because I'm starting at
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:18
			zero. It's okay, you know, if I'm
get 20% of bad deeds again, at 100
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:22
			before 100% Now I'm forgiven. So
I'll start with 20% No, the idea
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:25
			is that we stay like that to the
best of our ability. And to be
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:29
			honest, we can't because we make
intentions in the morning results
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			in the morning we fail by the
evening. We listen to a lecture at
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			night we get inspired it's like
I'm not going to do this anymore.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			And then by the morning is messed
up. Yeah, Allah Allah make it easy
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:42
			for us. Allah make it easy for us.
You know, we're like those
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:45
			children who walk around and you
know, when they start learning to
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:48
			walk and then eventually they get
tired. The parents pick the child
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			up. Yeah, Allah has to pick us up.
Allah has to pick us up so we ask
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			Allah subhanaw taala to help us in
that sense, and just carry us in,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			grab us by the forelocks and enter
us
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			into paradise, decree us to be
like that. So all of our actions
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			are easy. Because if that just can
be facilitated, then it's easy.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:13
			Otherwise, it's just a challenge
for the rest of our life. Right?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			If we can develop an immunity then
the challenges are going to be
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:20
			outside but at least we're immune
you know, immunity so when you
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			have a good immunity, then it may
be a flu virus but you're not
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			gonna get it If Allah doesn't want
it right. And likewise inshallah
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:30
			if we've come here to develop that
immunity Inshallah, Allah give us
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			that immunity, just like Allah
here for sitting there so
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			patiently and listening. Allah
subhanho wa Taala allow this to
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			benefit us in sha Allah, and
forgive any other lingering sins
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			that we may have. And just the
main thing is to keep us repelling
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			the shaytaan as we'll be doing
tomorrow as well in sha Allah for
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:53
			the rest of our life. And Allah
Allah was his closeness Allah
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:58
			Allah says closeness. Allah Allah
says closeness because people the
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:01
			only or only one go to Paradise
because that's the place you get
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			to see Allah, they don't really
care about paradise. They've
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			looking beyond that. So don't
don't jump on me and say, you
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:10
			know, Paradise important. Yes, it
is important. But once you kind of
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:13
			understand who Allah is, and what
we should really be hoping for,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:17
			then paradise is just an excuse
inshallah. So let us face to that
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20
			Allah, Allah give that to
everyone, Allah give us a fullest
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			reward. Allah bless everybody here
and this
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			give us this honor of being true
hajis chum working with that one
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			and Al Hamdulillah.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:35
			The point of a lecture is to
encourage people to act to get
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:40
			further an inspiration, and
encouragement, persuasion. The
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			next step is to actually start
learning seriously to read books
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			to take on a subject of Islam and
to understand all the subjects of
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:51
			Islam at least at the basic level,
so that we can become more aware
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:55
			of what our Dean wants from us.
And that's why we started Rayyan
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:00
			courses, so that you can actually
take organize lectures on demand
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			whenever you have free time,
especially for example, the
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:07
			Islamic essentials course that we
have on there, the Islamic
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:12
			essentials certificate, which you
take 20 Short modules, and at the
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:17
			end of that inshallah you will
have gotten the basics of most of
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			the most important topics in Islam
and you'll feel a lot more
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			confident. You don't have to leave
lectures behind you can continue
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			to be, you know, to listen to
lectures, but you need to have
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:29
			this more sustained study as well
as aka la harem Salam aleikum wa
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			rahmatullah wa barakato.
