Security, health, and wellbeing are important for healthy lifestyles, and security, health, and food are necessary for everyone to stay healthy. There is a need for people to show gratitude for blessings and not just the reward of their actions.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			Salatu was Salam ala say you
didn't mousseline while he was
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			Safi. Raka was a limiter sleeve
and Kathy are on Eli omy. Dean,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			Mr. Barrett.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			What we want to discuss briefly
today is
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:24
			a very specific topic, narcissism
and being impressed with oneself.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			This is something which is very
easily for it to occur, especially
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			for talented people.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			If you think you have a certain
talent, and you can do something,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			well, or you're good at something,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			whether that be you're good at
football, you're good at a sport,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:47
			whether
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			you look good, you think you look
good, at least.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:01
			However, you're very strong,
whether you bodybuild whether
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			you're very intellectual, whether
you're always getting top grades,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			in your, in your school, in your
studies, whether you're a good
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			negotiator, whether you're good
businessman, a good salesperson.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18
			I mean, the multitudes are various
things that you could be good as,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			right?
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			So what happens is,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			you could get impressed by
yourself.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			Being impressed.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			A person should actually know
about themselves about the person
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			should actually know about the
reality of themselves, and every
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			human being has problems. So how,
why should we get impressed with
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			ourselves? One is that we
acknowledge what we have, and we
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			use it in the right way that
that's actually sought, that's
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			praiseworthy, there's nothing
wrong with that, in fact, that's
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49
			recommended
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			to understand what Allah has given
us
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			the abilities that Allah has
bestowed us with, and then try to
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			use them to help others. Do
something with it.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			And help yourself help your
family. But then to get impressed
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			that it leads to narcissism.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			In Arabic, this is called urgent,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			urgent,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:19
			this conceit, this feeling, even
if you don't, it doesn't have to
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			always lead to arrogance against
others. It's just this very
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			personal feeling that I'm so
great.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			Then kibarim the curveball is when
this translates into
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			looking down at others, and it
becomes an active aspects.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			Until it's a kind of a passive
aspects of just looking great,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			looking at yourself in this with
him, and him being impressed with
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			yourself. That that is what you
call urgent and then when it
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			becomes transitive to somebody
else, and that becomes Kibera and
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			arrogance. So there's those subtle
differences between them.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			But generally, one leads to the
other.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:07
			What how do how do the roadmap
define it? You know, one is we
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			have an idea of what we think it
means, maybe from personal
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			experience, or what we've seen of
others maybe, but
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			narcissism is for someone to deem
his blessing.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			As I mentioned, the ability that
you think you have, it's a
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			blessing at the end of the day,
right?
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:30
			to deem his blessing as tremendous
and to rely on it. There's nothing
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:30
			wrong
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			about it. So far, this is still
the definition, right? It's not
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			fully, fully defined yet. So to
deem one's own blessing is
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			tremendous and to rely upon it,
while forgetting to attribute it
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			to the giver, and a giver in
capitals. And who is that that's
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:54
			Allah subhanaw taala. So we don't
even think of how Allah subhanaw
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			taala gave us that, that it is He
who gave us this,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			namely Allah.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			So it's about forgetting where it
comes from. And you know, the
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			whole antidote, any person who has
this problem of looking at them
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			themselves with greatness and
goodness, right? Self admiration.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			The antidote, very simple antidote
is just remember that Allah gave
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:15
			it to you.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			And Allah didn't give it to you,
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:25
			to make you feel super above
others, and so on and so forth,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			but to use it in the right way.
That's the antidote. As soon as
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			you bring a line to the picture,
it should take you down it should
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			humble, create humility.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			Indeed, being preoccupied by a
blessing from its giver is
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			blameworthy narcissism
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			to become occupied with the
blessing while forgetting the one
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:50
			who blessed you with it. That is
narcissism. I mean, you have a
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			very nice car you have a very nice
handbag, you have very nice
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			clothing. A very nice house.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			You forget that
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			Allah is behind everything
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			and
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:09
			we become preoccupied with it.
That's what the problem is the
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			prophets Allah Lord Islam said
Hadith raised by mumble Hari
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			Muslim, there was once a man
walking in an outfit
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			maybe he had a
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			what's a nice outfit today?
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:31
			You know, maybe he had a really
nice Armani suit on canali suit
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			on, or something like this
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40
			with a nice, nice tag who I'll
watch or something else, you know,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			a Rolex or something like that.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			So anyway, this person is walking
in an outfit in those days,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:51
			whatever that outfit was impressed
with himself, because clearly, you
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			know, when you've got this kind of
stuff on or when you have this
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			extra on or driving a new car or
something, it does something to
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			generally
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			right you, you you you feel that
people are going to be looking at
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			you so there is this feeling it
creates it.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			So in the Hadith says, impressed
with himself with his hair nicely
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			combed
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			to add to it, and walking with
praise.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:23
			When all of a sudden Allah caused
him to be swallowed. So he is
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			violently plunging into the earth
until Resurrection Day.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			I mean, that's obviously an
extreme punishment.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			Right? You may think I haven't
seen that happen to anybody. I
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			know a lot of nurses people.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			But that's a possibility happened
to karoun. As mentioned in the
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			Quran,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			who the two who are Allah or
Illman, nd that's what he said. He
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			said, I was given it. I was given
all of these treasures that I have
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			all of this riches, all of these
riches that I have,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			from a knowledge through a
knowledge that I possessed
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:08
			of all Mohamed El gerade, he said
that devoted slaves of blessings,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:14
			devoted slaves of blessings are
plentiful in number. Get lots of
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			people who are slaves of
blessings. They love the good.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			They love the good adornments of
this world. But the devoted slaves
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			of the giver of blessings are rare
indeed.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			That's the fitna. That's the
challenge. In a practical sense,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			that's the challenge. You got a
nice phone.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			Then you start admiring the phone
admiring the company admiring the
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:43
			founder, the designer, right?
Until you get obsessed with that
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			without actually
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:50
			while forgetting who is behind all
of this. And all of these are
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			Allah mirth and just signs to
Allah subhanaw taala. Not to say
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			that you can appreciate the
middleman. That Okay, Masha, Allah
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			has done a wonderful job, that's
understandable. There's nothing
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			wrong with that. It's when you
become a slave to that devotion in
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			that sense.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:14
			Imam Malawi mentions, he says the
opposite of this. Now generally,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:18
			when you look at one thing, it's,
you get a better idea. When you
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:22
			see its opposite, it becomes more
defined and distinguished. The
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			opposite of narcissism, or our job
is to recall Allah's favor.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			That's also the antidote. That is
for one to bear in mind that the
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			blessing exists only due to
enablement by Allah subhanaw
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40
			taala. And that He alone is the
one who honors him, and enhances
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:45
			his reward and merit. Everything
comes from Allah, and he gave you
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			this and if you treat this world
in the right way, fulfill its
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			right, Allah will actually reward
you for it.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:57
			This recollection is actually
obligatory. This is a followed, we
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			generally just understand Faraj
and to be fasting and praying and
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			southern Zakat and so on. But
these are the obligations of the
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			heart that a lot of people don't
understand somebody just think
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			it's something good that you
should have, yes, it's
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			praiseworthy. It's good. It's nice
to have, but very few people
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			actually understand that I am
actually supposed to be trying and
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:20
			making an effort to inculcate this
and to remedy any problem that I
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:20
			have.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:28
			That's why it's very, it's a it's
a blameworthy trait. It's a sin,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:34
			to have a job and to allow it to
persist within one's heart. So
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			imagine, hello, it says that this
recollection that everything comes
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:41
			from Allah subhanho wa taala. This
is obligatory when one feels
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:45
			enticed to narcissistic thoughts.
As soon as you think that you're
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			better than somebody else, because
you've got this, that and the
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:48
			other.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			There's nothing wrong with
acknowledging that Alhamdulillah
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			Allah has given me something and
he doesn't have it that you can
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			like putting that in perspective.
You can't be mean, we're human
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			beings. We can't be blind to these
things. I mean,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			If you see them, you see them,
right? But it's never to then
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			start thinking I'm better than he
because at the end of the day,
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			this is a worldly thing that
you've been given.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			And what really matters in the
hereafter is that who's going to
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			be who's going to have a higher
status in the Hereafter, who's
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			going to be closer to Allah, whose
deeds and heart is better, whose
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:27
			heart is more sound, though he may
not have the riches that you have,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			you may not have the intellect
that you may have may not be a
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			genius like you are.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			But he may be closer to Allah
subhanho wa taala, she may be
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			closer to Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			That's why, you know, when I see
other people may start thinking,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			you know, I've got more, I've got
this, or I've got that measure,
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			just think, well, you know, maybe
closer to Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:47
			than me.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			And when you think that he just
puts you down, because it puts you
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			in your place. Now, you may think
I mean, this is another aspect
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			here is that look, I really worked
hard for this, whatever I've got,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			I really worked hard for it, or my
parents really worked hard for it.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			But at the end of the day, if you
trace, whatever it is, you will
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			see that eventually, it's because
Allah placed you in this position,
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			placed you in the right place at
the right time. Otherwise, how
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			difficult is it that you and I
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:22
			are suddenly somebody in Iraq,
Syria, Afghanistan, Palestine,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			whatever.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			And somebody else there is here.
Imagine where the kid on the
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			streets, who's just lost his
father,
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:37
			who now has nothing his mother
can't. His house has just been
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			destroyed, and they got nothing.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			Did we choose to be here?
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:48
			The only choice that we we think
we have is after we've been in the
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:52
			woods, and we've tried something
and we've acquired something and
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			we can see a kind of a connection
between what we tried and what we
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:59
			got. But if you keep going back
behind that, then where did we
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			come from?
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			Well our parents come from
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			why were they here?
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			So at the end of the day, there's
no escaping ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:17
			That's what Allah subhanaw taala
says in the Quran. In surah, two
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:22
			Rockman. Center for all a youth
soccer learn to be a rugby Kuma to
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			Caliban which of the bounties of
your Lord will you deny that's the
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:31
			whole perspective of this surah
right. Yeah, Marshal genuine ins,
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			any store atom and then voodoo.
When a Katana is somewhere it will
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			all different voodoo, Latin for
Luna Illa be sold on there's no
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:43
			way you can go beyond the limits
of this universe, there is no way
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			that you can step out of the
boundaries of Allah, beyond his
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:53
			realm, beyond his kingdom, beyond
his ownership into a land that he
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			doesn't own in which you are
independent, no, you are always
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			dependent of Allah. He is the
summit.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			Allah is the Samad the one who is
self subsisting not in need of
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			anybody, but everybody else is in
need of Him.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			So when we understand the some
idea of Allah subhanaw taala, his
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:17
			self subsisting nature, then we
understand that we are really
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			nothing.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			We're only here because of the
grace of Allah subhanaw taala. And
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:26
			may He continue that grace, both
in this world and in the
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:26
			hereafter?
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:33
			The actual cause of narcissism.
We're going to explore this a bit,
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			we're going to unpack this a bit.
The actual cause of narcissism is
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			pure ignorance. Right from
everything we've said, I mean,
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:45
			that's what results, pure
ignorance or heedlessness, that
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			you actually know but you're
heedless towards it now, and not
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:49
			paying attention.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:56
			Now the general treatment to it is
to realize, to become aware and
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:01
			thus remove the ignorance and
appreciate that everything exists
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:06
			only by the creative act and will
of Allah subhanaw taala is because
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			he decided to do so see, to put
this in a theological sense,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:15
			everything, including us and
everybody else and everything else
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			that exists besides Allah subhanaw
taala is what you call a mumkin.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:28
			So in the grand realm of theology
here, everything and everyone is
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			what we call in theology, a
possibly existed being
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:39
			it wasn't necessary for any of us
to be here. This universe would
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:43
			have worked completely fine
without us. If somebody else could
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			have been here, Allah had the
absolute prerogative and choice
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			that he could have had somebody
else in place of us. So the fact
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			that you and I are here was the
choice of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58
			through His will and His Iraida to
allow us to come into being from
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			the realm of
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			An existence,
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			we owe him for that. It's purely
His grace that we're even here in
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			the first place, then it's his
grace that He made us the way he
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			did. And then you can just start
counting the bounties. That's why
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says
in a hadith, that whoever wakes up
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:21
			in the morning with security, and
Hamdulillah, we have lots of
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			security. Yes, there has been
there have been a few local
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:28
			incidents of acid attacks and so
on. But in general, compared to a
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			lot of people and a lot of places
around, we have a huge amount of
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			security, that you can actually
just be sitting around walking
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:39
			around without having to care too
much. Right, even women can walk
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			out on the streets at night if
they need to. I was in South
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			Africa recently, a friend of mine
was an imam there, he lives down
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			the road from the shop. But every
time he needs something in the
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			evening, or even in the daytime,
he has to go and pick it up in the
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			car. He can't he can't allow his
wife or daughter to walk the
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			street,
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			to walk the street just up the
road to the shop to buy something
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:02
			Subhanallah
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			while they adjust, that they
adjust, that's the wonderful
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:12
			aspect of a human being we can
adjust. We mashallah, when you
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			look and compare, we have sort of
obviously some said, Wherever
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			wakes up in the morning with
security.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			With health. So generally you've
got wellbeing of your body, right,
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			you might have a cold one day,
that's fine, just understand that
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			you might have a little ache here
or there. You may have a wound
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			here and there, but generally your
well being. If you wake up with
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:37
			wellbeing and safety, and you have
your days sustenance, enough food
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			to last you today, then it is as
if the entire world has been
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			brought to your feet. Because
that's what you need for your day,
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			day by day that you don't know
about tomorrow. But that's all you
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			need for your day, you need
security for the day, you need
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			health for the day to pass through
and you need your food to get you
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			through. And if you've got that
much the whole world, it's as if
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			the whole world is brought to your
feet. That's the blessing of
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:03
			Allah, the wife, Allah loves us.
That's the point. But we don't do
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:09
			enough to bring him into our life.
Though he is every he is. He is
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:13
			part of our life in every sense of
it. But we keep trying to block
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			him out by being distracted
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			by being heedless, and yet deep
down we believe this because
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			that's part of our belief of iman.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			So the actual cause of narcissism
is pure ignorance or heedlessness
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			or not paying attention. Its
general treatment is to realize
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33
			and appreciate that everything
exists only by the creative act
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:37
			and will of Allah subhanaw taala.
And that every blessing of
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:41
			intelligence, knowledge, righteous
works, whatever you feel,
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:45
			narcissist about narcissistic
about, whether that be your
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			knowledge, your prestige, your
wealth, your intelligence, your
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			good clothing, your handsomeness
your beauty, whatever it may be,
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			is from Allah alone
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			is from Allah alone. Now you can
go into a long debate with
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			yourself as to why you got it,
nobody else got it, why you got
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			you, the other person didn't get
it.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			And then he says on top of that,
and to be cognizant, and fully
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:13
			aware of this, by recording it and
bringing it to mind that this is
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			from Allah to keep saying that
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:21
			that's the maraca, you must do
that the vigilance you must have
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:25
			that is from Allah, it's from
Allah, namely, that he has xojo
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:30
			alone is the creator of the
servant and all of his actions,
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			his outward actions, inward
actions, his possessions and
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			everything he has and he leads
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			and this is not difficult, you
know once number one now we know
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			this so that removes the ignorance
if we were ignorant, while this
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
			has removed the ignorance, it's
told us our place is given us an
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			understanding of our relationship
between us and our
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:00
			A abilities our bounties that look
yes, you got bounties, respect
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			them, acknowledge them, yes, but
know where they came from.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:13
			So it is incumbent upon the
servant to show gratitude for all
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			of his blessings. This is a fourth
chakra is a fourth, just like
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21
			solid is affordable and fasting is
sugar is a fourth
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			how many of us make sugar
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			whereas it's a fourth and
obligation.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			It is incumbent upon the sermon to
show gratitude for all of his
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:35
			blessings like knowledge, actions,
etc, that he possesses only due to
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:41
			divine enablement and aid. You
see, in Sunni Islam. We believe in
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			radical monotheism,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			absolute declaration of Allah to
be one in everything, not just the
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			fact that he's one and there's no
two three and four. That's a
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			simplistic way of looking at it.
What we mean by Allah being one
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			is that there is He is the giver.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			and sole source of everything.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			Not just that there's not another.
She has that he is. So it's a
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			different way of looking at it. So
Mr. Will honey Veronica says Artie
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:15
			Denis Creedy says, Allah is One.
But not in terms of number. We
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			don't mean this in terms of number
though that is the case as well.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:24
			But we don't mean that. We mean he
is one, ie unique in His essence,
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			his attributes, His actions.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			There's nobody else that can do
what Allah can do.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:35
			So, when it comes to Sunni Islam
is radical monotheism. It denies
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:40
			even the slightest trace of dual
dualism dualism, that you know,
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
			there could be a second or a
shriek, a partner,
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:49
			by ontology, by ontologically,
ascribing directly to Allah, every
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:54
			effect occurrent an action in the
cosmos, we have to do this,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			including the voluntary actions of
human beings.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			Even though we're responsible for
the actions that we choose,
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:05
			everything has to be ascribed to
Allah subhanaw taala. When you
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			start doing that, then this helps
us spiritually, because then the
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:14
			narcissism is removed, then we no
longer think hey, I'm great. I'm
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			great because of what Allah has
given me. You're not going to say
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			that you're not gonna say I'm
great because of Allah has given
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:23
			me you that's, that's never going
to happen. If you know Allah has
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			given it to you, how can you say
I'm greater than somebody else?
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:29
			Then you will understand that I'm
doing Shakur than Hamdulillah.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:33
			Allah has given us this because he
can easily take it away. There
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			were one spiritual master says
that true slave would to Allah or
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:41
			Buddha is to fulfill the rights of
obedience, with do veneration.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:47
			So you're praying Salaat but are
we venerating Allah when we pray a
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:51
			lot when we're doing thicker,
we're actually saying words of
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			veneration, but it's our heart
venerating him.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			There's a difference between
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			a verbal veneration and a
heartfelt veneration.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			May Allah give us that heartfelt
veneration
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:13
			to see one spiritual efforts as
falling short of the divine right?
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:16
			So we've gathered here for vicar
inshallah.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:23
			Now, if we believe because of
this, that we've done our part and
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:27
			we fulfill the right of Allah
subhanho wa Taala because we took
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			time off, I mean, wow, you know,
we took time off on a Sunday,
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:34
			Saturday evening, when people are
going out to restaurants and
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:38
			people are going out to you know,
do all sorts of things on Saturday
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			evening, but we are, we have come
together inshallah for the sake of
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:46
			Allah. Wow. Right. So the first
thing we've come together for the
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:50
			sake of Allah is a great thing.
But suddenly, I've done my part.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51
			And
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			I fulfilled my obligation to
Allah, that's when it gets
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			problematic.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:02
			We the approach should be that we
thank Allah that has given us the
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:06
			ability to do this, and then to
seek forgiveness for any
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			shortcomings, whether we realize
them or not, and there are
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			definitely shortcomings
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:17
			in terms of what Allah truly
deserves from us, for being our
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:20
			Creator and for everything is
given us. Rather, one needs to
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:24
			view all of one's achieved
achievements and virtues as solely
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			being from the Divine Decree of
Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:32
			One of the most potent treatments
of urgency and narcissism
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:38
			is to focus and try to work out
the spiritual calamities that come
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:39
			from it.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			Like what is the problem of being
narcissistic?
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			What are the calamities the
numerous there are numerous
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			calamities from having origin?
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:57
			It, it suffices one to realize
that it is the cause of arrogance.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			If you have urged them, eventually
it's going to lead to the Cabal
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:05
			kibra Arrogance against another,
you're going to start belittling
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:05
			people.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:12
			Now, as I told you, having an idea
of your strengths, and your
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:16
			abilities is a good thing, because
it's people like this that
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			generally go out to do major
accomplishments.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:26
			Right? So you have to realize your
abilities to do something.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:32
			Just that it should not make you
vain. And arrogance. So one thing
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:36
			that narcissism if you have that
it's going to eventually lead to
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			Kibera and arrogance against
others, which are you going to
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:42
			look down upon people. And then if
there comes a time when you are
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			wrong, when we are wrong about
something because we could be
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			wrong, right? I mean, does
everybody agree that even though
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			we're generally right, we are
wrong sometimes.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			Is there anybody here that
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			has never been wrong about
something?
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			Husband and wife relationship
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:00
			Oops.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			You know what, with my wife,
what'd I just say? I'm sorry,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			straightaway, he's just like,
forget it. I'm wrong, okay for us,
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			I could be wrong.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:14
			And what's the point of putting on
some pretense I made a mistake,
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			okay, big deal.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			That's what you have to do.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			So the fact that we know that we
can be wrong sometimes
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:29
			shows that we're, we've got a
defect. It suffices one to realize
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:33
			that it is the cause of arrogance.
So we don't want the narcissism if
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			it's latent within us to
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:40
			become expressed as arrogance
towards somebody else, because
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			that can get us in big trouble.
Right?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			Forgetting one sins.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:54
			Because it's a sin of the heart.
We think only Zina and all of
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:57
			these are sins and stealing and
all that. These are sins that we
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:01
			carry around every day, we could
be doing multiple times, we may be
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:06
			avoiding theft, cheating, but we
are doing this sin of the heart
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:09
			all the time, and it is eating out
inside.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			It's just that you can't smell it.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:18
			They say that gambling addiction
is very difficult to see in
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:18
			somebody.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			Unless you see them gambling,
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			you can't smell it. If somebody's
got an addiction to wine, you can
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29
			smell it on their breath, you can
see it in their actions. But if
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			somebody's got a gambling problem,
you can't really see it. But it's
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			a massive problem.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			Believe me, it's a massive
problem. I've dealt with people
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:43
			who've had it. Okay, so, number
one, forget you. It's the cause of
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			arrogance. Number two, it makes
you forget one sins. Number two,
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			it makes you forget the blessing
of Allah, this is another
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52
			calamity. That's meaning we're
committing all of these crimes.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:58
			Right? Number four, feeling secure
from Allah as devising and
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:58
			punishment.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:04
			Just what's happened to karoun. So
we feel safe that oh, I'm too
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:07
			good, nothing's gonna happen to
me, you start feeling invincible.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			And then
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:16
			thinking one has a standing with
Allah, it gets even worse, that
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:20
			you actually start thinking were
chosen. Were the chosen people,
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			you know, were a chosen
individual. I'm special.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26
			Because look, I mean, I've done
all of this very successfully, and
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			nothing's happened to me.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			That's why a lot of times, we
can't really even tell that we've
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			got this problem, somebody else
has to point it out.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			But sometimes it's, you know,
that's just a very late period
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			that because then it's expressed
outside. That means it's been
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:45
			strong enough insight to have had
an outer expression.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:52
			And thinking one has a standing
with Allah and is deserving of
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:56
			reward due to his righteous work,
which in fact, are blessings and
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			gifts from among his blessings and
gifts.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:04
			It leads one to deem himself pure
and prevent one from benefiting
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			from others and consulting them.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			And, you know, I can tell you this
from experience, sometimes when
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			you've made a judgment about
somebody that you're better than
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15
			them, they don't know anything,
and you don't want to listen to
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			them. And then one day, you happen
to listen to them and suddenly you
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			start seeing Wow, they actually
have a lot of substance. I can
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:27
			actually benefit from them. But
maybe it's too late now, because,
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			you know, you've already put up
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			a barrier between yourself and
them
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:41
			is narrated by Anasazi Allahu Anhu
in Hadith rates by Mumbai, hockey,
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:45
			and it's in the Muslim world,
bizarre as well, that there are
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:49
			three things that destroy famous
generation, there are three things
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			that are destroyed that are very
destructive, number one,
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:58
			stinginess, that is a bit. So one
is you feel stingy. It's a natural
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:02
			state of teachers, you just have a
tough time spending or giving.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:08
			But you so what the honey is
trying to say is that if you obey
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:12
			it, and act on that stinginess and
withhold, that's the problem
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:18
			that's destructive, because Allah
creates people in different ways.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:22
			So in some people, he does put a
stimulus, it's a natural stimulus.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:28
			The challenge for this person, the
moja, is to try to open up
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:32
			but if it's obeyed, then that
becomes destructive.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			Number two,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			stubborn whims, that once it comes
to
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			stubborn whims, that what and you
don't want to listen to anything
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			else, it's just you go by your own
whims.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			You become stubborn in that
everybody's going to have ideas,
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:54
			whims, doubts. It's about becoming
stubborn upon them. And number
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:58
			three is a person being impressed
with himself.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:04
			That's the third destructive
factor, it could take a person to
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			district destruction.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			Now, the last point I make before
we stop is,
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16
			you know, if a person
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20
			is impressed with one spiritual
works,
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:26
			that I do this much thicker I make
all my Salaat I do this much
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:30
			damage at night or I do this one
charity work or whatever the case
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:30
			is.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:36
			Whatever kind of spiritual work it
is outwardly, being impressed with
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:40
			one spiritual work could be very
well an indication that those
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			works are not accepted by Allah.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			How it's very logical, actually.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:52
			If not, I thought Allah says in an
aphorism, no righteous deeds are
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			more hopeful to be accepted,
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:00
			then deeds you hardly notice and
deem insignificant.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:07
			Meaning, if you've done a deed,
you help somebody out, or whatever
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10
			it was, and you deemed it
insignificant that look, I
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12
			shouldn't be doing this, you
didn't signal like how I should do
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:18
			much more. That's a proof that you
haven't taken the credit for it.
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:22
			The credit then will come from
Allah. It's like a check, you
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:22
			haven't cashed.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:29
			But if I think my deed is great,
then I've cashed my check, that
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			Allah won't give me anything
because I've already taken my
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:38
			reward. Makes sense. So the less
that we feel, that
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			we have done something great.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47
			That is a sign that that is more
accepted by Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:50
			because he's given us a true
perspective towards it.
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:58
			So that's why what happened I
thought, Allah says that no
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:01
			righteous deeds are more hopeful
to be accepted than deeds you
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:05
			hardly notice and you deem
insignificant, because due to
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:05
			one's
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:11
			falling short to there, and maybe
one of the Gnostics was asked that
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			what is a sign a good deed is
accepted.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:19
			He replied this his perspective
but it's based on the Quran
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:24
			sunnah, he replied, that you
forget it and take no notice of it
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			becomes very natural for you to do
these things for the sake of Allah
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			subhanaw taala
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:35
			that you forget it and take no
notice notice of it whatsoever, as
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			indicated in Allah statement,
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:43
			which is La heelside will carry
will tell you well, I'm going to
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			salehoo your Pharaoh
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			to him a send the pure words of
faith.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:55
			And he raises up righteous works.
They've been taken up already. You
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			don't have to worry about it. You
just do them and you carry on
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			Allah staking accounts.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:05
			If not I bad comments that so the
sign that the supremely real one
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:10
			raises up a deed is that nothing
of it remains for you to gloat
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:10
			about.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			If something of it remains in your
notice,
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			it has not ascended to Allah.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:25
			Due to the great abyss between
being with you, and instead being
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:30
			with him, we want it to be with
him and not to be with us. So it
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:35
			behooves the servant who performs
a spiritual work, that the work be
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:40
			forgotten, and completely absent
from his mind, based on what we
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:45
			mentioned, of accusing one's ego
of being inadequate, and seeing
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:48
			one shortcoming in the work so
that it can be accepted. You do
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:52
			the work out of fulfillment of
Allah, Allah has Allah's
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:57
			commandments to us, but we feel
we've been deficient in it, and
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			it's inadequate, how can I present
it to how can I hope for a reward
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:00
			for it?
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			That's what he's talking about.
This this kind of thought it's
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07
			this kind of a thought that will
insha Allah help us remove our
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:12
			narcissism. And that will help us
to be thankful of Allah subhanaw
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:17
			taala to Allah subhana wa Tada and
to cure this problem. And as I
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:20
			said, this is a problem that gives
rise to many other problems. May
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			Allah subhanaw taala grant us the
trophy to purify our hearts from
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:27
			it, and may Allah make us of those
who are accepted by him while he
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29
			read that one Al hamdu Lillahi
