00:00:00 --> 00:00:00
			BismillahirRahmanir
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			Rahim Brothers and sisters in Islam, Al Halal
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			will always be enough and sufficient for a
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			person.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Well Haram, no matter how much you do
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			of it will never ever be
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			sufficient and enough for a person,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			And there is a story in the Quran
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			that beautifully
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			expresses this matter. Allah Azzawajal He says,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			Allah told us about the story of Dawood,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			Palut and Jalut.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Palut was the Muslim King, he was the
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			Muslim ruler, and he was going to enter
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			the Holy Land, Jerusalem,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			with the army that he had. Among the
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			army was Dawud
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			and they were going to fight Jalut and
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			the army of Jalut.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			So Allah
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			says that when the army began to move
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			towards Jerusalem,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			he gathered his army and he said to
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			them
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			Allah is going to test us with a
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			river, There's going to be a river that
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			is going to come, everyone is thirsty, everyone
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			wants to drink from this beautiful river that
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			looks so fresh and it looks nice and
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			beautiful.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			So Allah
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			said
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			that Talut said to them
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			The test here is that anyone who drinks
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			from it is not from my army anymore,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			Then it is haram to drink from this
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			water.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			Allah
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			has made it forbidden.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			And whoever does not drink from it except
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			a handful,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			then he will be from my army and
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			he has passed the test.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			So there is a river. It is not
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			allowed to drink from it. Allah
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			wants to control
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			their desire for this water. So he made
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			it forbidden. No one's allowed to drink from
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			it. The only exception is a handful.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			Anyone who drinks a handful from the river,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			then he would have succeeded, and that would
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			be halal, and he's able to join
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			that army and continue with Tawlut until they
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			reach the blessed land. Now, the idea is
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			this, Allah said
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			Many of them drank
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			as much as they can except a few.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			A few only drank a handful. Now the
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			beautiful interesting thing here is that, Abin Abba
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			said, those who drank more than one handful,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			their thirst was not quenched.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			And those who drank one handful,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			sufficient at what is halal,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			Allah satisfied them and quenched
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			their thirst. Allahu Akbar SubhanAllah and so brothers
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			and sisters in Islam this is the principle
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			in life when you take what Allah has
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			made halal for you in this worldly life
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			there will be Barakah in this and it
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			will be sufficient and enough for you.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			And when you take what's Haram from this
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			worldly life, you will never get enough of
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			it and you will never be satisfied.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Look at the people for example that get
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			married in a halal way. 1 wife, 2,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			3, 4, and that would be enough for
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			him, and he doesn't desire more.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			Look at on the other hand, when a
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			person commits
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			a 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and he's
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			never enough.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			Look at the person who suffices with halal
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			money.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			When you take halal money there is enough
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			barakah in this and by the permission of
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Allah it's enough for you and those that
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			acquire their wealth through Haram means
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			Wallahi 1,000,000,201,201,010,000,000
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			is never enough for them they will continue
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			to run after that which is Haram
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			and they are never satisfied.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Look at the person who drinks, for example,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			if you are to eat and drink what
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			is halal,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			you are
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			sufficed and that would be enough for you
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			there's Baraka in that, but the person who
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			goes towards Al Haram
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			look at those that sit in the bars
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			and drink alcohol, a forbidden beverage,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			they drink 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 cups
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			a night,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			and they are not satisfied.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			So brothers and sisters in Islam, Al Haram
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			is enough for a person, well haram no
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			matter how much you take from it will
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			never satisfy you. And that's why Nabi
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			will make a hadith
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			a dua. He makes a dua, and he
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			says,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			He would say
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			Oh Allah, make
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			what is lawful, sufficient and enough for me
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			instead of the Haram
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			And enable me through your grace and through
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			your mercy
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			that I depend on no one except you.
