00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			1st and foremost, I just want to clarify,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			Sheikh Ibrahim was speaking about someone else.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:21
			Right?
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			I don't know who he was speaking about.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			May Allah
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			allow us to benefit from the person he
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			was speaking about because I don't know who
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			he is.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			Secondly,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			I really just wanna take a moment now
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			to thank the administration of the Masjid
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			who were kind enough to facilitate this program.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			And thirdly,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			our Sheikh Ibrahim
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			who was more than
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			kind enough to
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			let go of his class.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			He had a class at his time,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			and Insha Allahu ta'ala, all of you guys
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			are going to come to the class next
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			week,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			right?
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Sheikh Ibrahim, he teaches every week
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			here. Right?
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			Some of the students are here today as
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			well.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			These lectures that we deliver, my brothers and
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			my sisters,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			are like paracetamol.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			You guys know what paracetamol is?
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			I think that's a UK term. How do
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			you say in American? Talonoid.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			Talonoid?
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			Talonoid.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			Whatever it's called, I think you guys get
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			a gist.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			These lectures, brothers and sisters
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			are nothing more than a pancreas
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			which doesn't
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			deal with the underlining
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			problems that a person may be suffering from.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			A lot of us, we are in need
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			of an operation.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			When you have an operation, it deals with
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			the issues that are underlining, right?
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			And this is my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			the knowledge that we seek on a regular
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:47
			basis.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			And that's the reality brothers and sisters.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			As we mentioned yesterday and in some of
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			the other lectures as well,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			it is almost
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			impossible
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			to function as a human being in this
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			universe without having knowledge.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			And I would normally give examples
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			of all of these YouTubers that we have.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			Did I mention that yesterday?
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			Yes. I did, right?
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			Pray hamdulillah, if you came to the lecture
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			yesterday,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			it's a few.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			I gave an example of of all these
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			different YouTubers that we are all very familiar
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			with.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			Even though they have money,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			even brothers
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			and
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			my sisters,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			empty.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			They, my brothers and my sisters are depressed.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			Who am I referring to? And nobody laugh,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			please guys when I say this.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			We thank Allah Subhanu wa ta'ala that He
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			has protected us from,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			right?
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			Such experiences and difficulties that these YouTubers are
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			going
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			through, the likes of Logan Paul,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			KSI,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			Justin Bieber,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			Fousey
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			Tube, that guy called Mr. Beast,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			what they all have in common is what?
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			Being celebrities,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			fame, money, cars, women, you
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			name it.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			Also what they have in common is that
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			they are depressed.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			I'm not bringing this out of my own
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			back pocket guys. I
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			am not bringing it out of my own
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			back pocket.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			They themselves have come out openly
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			and made this claim.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			I sent these clips to my little brother
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			Ibrahim
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			and I said to him what do you
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			think?
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			He says SubhanAllah wow man,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			looks like they're living double lives.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			If only these people knew
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			how
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			to
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			deal with this spiritual emptiness that they
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			have they would be ready to give up
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:53
			everything.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			But the reality of the matter is
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			Allah tells us it's not the eyes that
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			are blind
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			however it's the heart
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			that has become empty and is not able
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			to see
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			that which is good for it,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			right.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			May Allah Azzawajal
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			protect us from this spiritual
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			emptiness, right?
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			And this is something my brothers and my
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			sisters
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			that cannot be filled with these materialistic
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			things that we have.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			The way Allah Azza wa Jal has created
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			your heart
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			it craves for its creator,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			It craves for its creator.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			No matter what you are giving in this
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			world,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			we are told by the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			Wasallam
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			you acquire
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			a mountain of gold,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			is that enough for him?
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			Now who can tell me the hadith?
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			You've acquired a mountain of gold, what does
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			he want next?
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			He wants another one.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			The way this dunya has been created
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			it entices you, it beautifies
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:01
			itself
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			to you
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			making you think that the moment you acquire
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			for example this house
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			it's an objective that many of us might
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			have, right.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			Once you have that dream
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			satisfied.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			That dream car
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			that you really really badly want, the moment
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			you acquire it thinking halas I'm going to
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			be happy,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			you're back to square 1.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			And I gave you yesterday the example
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			Subhanallah
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			what's
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:45
			going
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			on? Right? On their profile and you think
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			SubhanAllah what's going on?
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:50
			Right?
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			They've got all the money, they've got all
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			the fame, they have everything
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			that a lot of the Shabaab today would
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			really want.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			However,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			the moment I start speaking to them he's
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			sending me these yellow emojis with the tears.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			The man's empty,
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			he's depressed,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			his heart is in a state,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			right?
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:14
			And like I said
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			the only way that this individual is going
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			to be able to overcome
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			the spiritual emptiness is Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			Hence why today my brothers and my sisters
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			I have decided to go through
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			If we can get through the 15,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			right? Then that would be great but at
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			least 10 points
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			that will really really soften up our hearts.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			Yesterday we stressed
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			the importance of knowledge.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			All of these different fitin,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			these isms that we have whether it may
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			be secularism,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			feminism,
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			liberalism,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			all of these daws that come from the
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			rainbow team,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			right? That we may struggle to answer
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			the way that we can maneuver and navigate
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			around all of these different doubts
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			that are being spread left, right and center
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			Especially
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			in the universities
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			which I call a breathing ground for
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			all of these different isms.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			And of course the colorful things, right?
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			Today we had a great time at Queen's
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			College, a wonderful time
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			speaking about feminism
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			and engaging with our sisters.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			May Allah Azza wa jah bless
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			them. Right? We had a wonderful time.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			And likewise I have a great time with
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			the feminist on Twitter.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			I'm having a great time guys
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:43
			intellectually
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:44
			challenging
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			them but the point of the method I'm
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			really trying to emphasize, hey guys
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			you have all of these
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:09
			as well,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			just because we don't have the answers
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			that doesn't mean there aren't any answers.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			Does that make sense?
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			Say that again.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			Just because we don't have any answers,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			there are doubts that are being posed
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			that doesn't mean there aren't any answers.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			And I gave the example of
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			a second year med student,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			right. He goes back home to maybe Pakistan,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			right. Or he might go back to Guyana.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			No, that's Masha'Allah.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			Right. Or maybe back to Somalia. Do you
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			have any Samanis here? Other than one brother
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			who came from Ohio.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			Or anywhere else,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:52
			right?
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			2nd year med student. Sometimes what happens is
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			when you go back home and they find
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			out this guy is maybe studying a certain
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			field, they start throwing questions at him. He's
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			going to turn around, I don't have the
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			answers for it, I'll go and find out
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			the research for you.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			And that's, you know, common sense that you
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			don't speak with our knowledge, right?
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			But why is it when it comes to
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			our religion my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			we're not fully equipped
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			to repel the doubts that are coming
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			away. The moment we hear a doubt or
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21
			2
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			right which is not in line with our
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			Islamic values and morals we tend to fall
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			flat on our faces. We're completely overwhelmed by
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			these doubts.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			It destroys our hearts.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			So my brothers and my sisters is needed
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			to overcome
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			a lot of the problems that we are
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			dealing with on a day to day basis.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			That's why I'm inviting every single one of
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			you guys to come every week here,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			don't just come on there's a speaker on
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:50
			YouTube,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			that you've been watching His reels all of
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			these years or all of these months.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			We need beneficial knowledge my brothers and my
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			sisters that's going to help us maintain
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:02
			ourselves
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:03
			throughout,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05
			right?
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			Why did I mention all of this knowledge,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			and knowledge, and knowledge?
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			This knowledge will not enter in our hearts
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			my brothers and my sisters
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:15
			unless,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			Ibn Utayr Ahmad Tullahi He mentions that this
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			is one of my favorite quotes.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			He says,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:37
			He says,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			When your heart becomes soft and tender
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			tender their entering into it will become a
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			lot more easier.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			Sometimes we feel as if there is a
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			seal on our hearts. No matter how much
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			time we put into,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:53
			right?
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			Learning the deen of Allah azza wa jay,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			it just doesn't seem to
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			happening. It just does not seem to be
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:00
			happening.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			And that is maybe because our hearts
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			are not soft and tender brother and
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			sisters. Right?
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			He then goes on to say
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			You will see that the
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			will really take hold of this heart.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			It will solidify
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			Sadat's heart and that is because his heart
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			has become what? Soft and tender.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			He also then goes on to say,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:38
			However, if the heart is hard and rigid
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			the il will find it extremely difficult entering
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			into that heart.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			And that is due to it becoming disease.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			Right?
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			It has become sick.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			The element has taken over it.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			So how is it my brothers and my
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			sisters,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			right, that we can soften this heart. We're
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			gonna go through all of these points.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			I want you guys also to
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			pay attention to this very powerful powerful statement
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			of Ibn Uthaimi Rahmatullahi Alaihi says,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			Whoever's heart now my brothers and my sisters
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			becomes
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			cleaned
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			from sins,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:26
			right?
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			The filth of sins
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			this person will be able to understand the
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			Quran better.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			You know my brothers and my sisters
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			especially with Ramadan on the corner and I
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			think is imperative that I mentioned this right.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			A lot of us are going to want
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			to have a relationship with the Quran.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			We're going to try and open it right?
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			But maybe a couple of moments will go
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			by and we'll close it again. And I
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			will try again and I will back to
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			square 1. Or try, we're back to square
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			1. Many many years ago when I was
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			in Al Yemen, I seen his brother.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			I seen his brother who wanted to memorize
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			the Quran but everybody wants to do something,
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:05
			Sahib.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			He would walk into the
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			masjid, he would sit down open the Quran,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			wallahi ali alahi, brothers and sisters, he would
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			sit there for a couple of moments and
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			close the Quran,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			leave the misdeed.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			And then he comes back
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			10 minutes later
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			exact same process, opens up the Quran, tries
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			to read, tries to memorize,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			doesn't seem to be happening for him,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			closes it, leaves and comes back again.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			It became very, very clear that this person
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			had a problem. You know what his problem
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			was?
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:39
			Constantly
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			ripping into
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:41
			others.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			Tearing the honor of others to shreds.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			He's is this or that sheikh is this
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			and that sheikh is this and whatever have
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			you that and then
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			when we think about
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			or when the discussion of sins is open
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			up the first thing that comes to mind
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			is what?
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			Watching adult content, right?
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			Watching haram, looking at the opposite gender.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			You know how people go window shopping. Right?
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			This guy is going Instagram shopping.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			He's looking around, he's on his sister
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			and then he's you know, and he's telling
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			himself, Ullaahi you know marriage, marriage,
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:19
			marriage.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			Shopping.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			And he knows he knows
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			well enough
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			that he is not
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			in a position, right?
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			Or he is not taking the right
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			method
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			in pursuing marriage
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			and he's just deseasing his heart.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			Does that make sense?
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			That's what comes to mind when we talk
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			about sins. However that which may
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			that we may tend to overlook is some
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			of the other things such as
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			speaking about others.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			And sometimes it is done under the God
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			of religion.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			Under the God of religion. I'm doing this
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			now in order to save Alaihi Salam al
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			Sameen,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:08
			right?
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			I need to save the
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:11
			religion.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			So he looks for every way now to
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			speak about the other individual.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			And this is a brother who was tested
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			by that.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			He just came, started to seek a knowledge.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			He was there for 2 years, didn't have
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			the Arabic language. He's too busy.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			If you ask him about politics, he knows
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:27
			everything.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			He knows everything that's happening between this sheikh
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			and then what's happening in the UK and
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			what's happening in the US.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			And like, woah, man.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			This guy's got the whole map under his
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			belt.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			Right?
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			But he was tested with that.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:42
			Right?
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			The sins that we fall into, my brothers
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			and my sisters, sisters, it really really ties
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			us down.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			It really really ties us down.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			No matter how much we try to convince
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:53
			ourselves
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			that what we are doing is actually correct.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			Also number a very profound statement I think
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			is worth mentioning. Mutamil says,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:13
			He says
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			the realities of faith
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			will not enter into one's heart.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			If in his heart is that which is
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			impurifying it.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			And then he gives examples such as
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:30
			arrogance
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			and also envy.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			Arrogance?
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			We all know arrogance is right brothers and
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:38
			sisters.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:40
			Sisters.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			To bid it to the people
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			and to also what?
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			Reject the truth when it's brought to you.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			This is very, very important guys.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			A lot of us are tested by it
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			and may Allah 'Azza wa protect us from
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			it. Especially the moment you start seeking knowledge
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			and you end up maybe acquiring a position
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			within your community.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			Oh, Shaitan goes to people from different avenues,
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			from different doors but a person who's now
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			started seeking knowledge or he's learned a little
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			bit here and there, look what
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			I saw many, many not just 1 or
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			2 and that scares
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			the living day life out of me brothers
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:30
			and
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			brothers and sisters. Wallahi Azim, he says many
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			of those who ascribe themselves to knowledge
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			they become tested with what?
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			They become tested with arrogance.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			The same way a person of Ibadah, you
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			know when you're a devout worshipper, you're worshipping
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:48
			Allah Azza wa Jal constantly, right? Shaitan comes
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			and he says, Akhi,
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			so, you know, they can kind of like
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			give you your
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			du rite. They can give you your hat.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			Are your brothers sisters with me?
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			And then he says
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			And then they are deprived
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:17
			of the reality or the essence of knowledge.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			Can we have the brothers moving up as
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			much as you guys can, InshaAllah Ta'ala, so
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			you guys can see the message
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:27
			game
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			packed?
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			Yeah.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			There's some space on that side as well.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			If you guys can Yeah.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			So at Kibit brothers and sisters, right, belittling
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			people, rejecting the truth when it comes to
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:53
			you.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			Someone comes and tells you, actually what you're
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			doing is not right. Instead of taking on
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			the chin brother,
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			right?
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			Giving all sorts of excuses,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			rejecting it just for the sake of rejecting
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			it guys. All of this my brothers and
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			my sisters will destroy and taint our hearts.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			Right?
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			To conclude this introduction, my brothers and my
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			sisters, before I go into the 10 points
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			or maybe the 15 points,
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			this is very very touching.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			Heart is more better than having a lot
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			of fasts and a lot of prayers. Meaning,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			Talking about the voluntary acts.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Right?
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			Occupying yourself in cleaning your heart my brothers
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			and my sisters
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			is more virtuous
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			than having a lot of voluntary fasts and
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			prayers.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			While at the same time your heart
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			is tainted.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			And look what he says,
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:27
			Right?
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			He says the majority of voluntary acts
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			his companions used to engage in wasn't a
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			lot of fasting and a lot of
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			praying but rather it was
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			But rather it was
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			them working hard and purifying the house. Ta'ala.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			That
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			they had that piety in their hearts,
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:55
			Ta'ala.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			That they had that piety in their hearts
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			because they know
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			when you rectify your heart
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			it is going to start projecting on your
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:06
			limbs.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			Sometimes you see an individual saying,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:12
			right?
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			You advise him in the wrong that he's
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			doing, Akhi my heart, you know, my heart
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			is great.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			You know, as long as the heart heart
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			is good, no matter what you do with
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			your limbs, no, my brother says it doesn't
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			work like that.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			It's in fact the opposite.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			When your heart now becomes pure,
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			right, and it becomes tahir, it becomes cleansed,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:31
			you will see it now projecting on one's
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			limbs.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			Right?
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			Inside of your heart guys. It starts what?
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44
			Coming out. It can't hold itself inside of
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			the heart, it starts coming out guys onto
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			your lips. This is why the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			alaihi wa sallam said
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			Indeed inside of your body is what? A
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			piece of flesh.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:00
			If that becomes rectified everything else becomes rectified.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			If that becomes
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			rectified everything else
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:03
			becomes rectified,
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			if that becomes corrupt
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			everything else becomes corrupt. So don't tell me
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:08
			my brother,
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			right, or my sister
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			that your heart is great while you've lost
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			control over your lips.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			This is a sign for you
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			that you really really need to do something
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:20
			about yourself,
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			right?
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:25
			As much you may have
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			wonderful intentions
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			that you want to do good and no
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			one will take that intention away from you,
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			that you have good intentions moving forward.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			But remember my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			right,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			the fact that this is now professing on
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			your limbs
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			is a problem.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:58
			Put your hand up
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			you want to have relation with the Quran.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			That you want to be able to taste
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			the sweetness of the Quran,
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			right? We all do.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			Do. Every single one of us does.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			I know a lot of us are sitting
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:13
			here,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:14
			right?
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			They're just you know
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			don't have that relationship
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			and they're looking for something to really kick
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			start
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			that journey with the Book of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			wa wa Ta'ala. You will see people my
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			brothers and my sisters,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:28
			right?
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			Who don't have much,
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			right?
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			And you can maybe put students of knowledge
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			in that bracket. They don't have much. They
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			barely have anything, right? But they have
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			have the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			that they carry in their hearts which they
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			read every single day.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			They pursue sacred knowledge
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			and they are the happiest people in the
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:52
			world.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			They
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			are the happiest people in the world.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			And that is because they have the ability
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			and I say this right and I mean
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			every letter.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			They have the ability
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			to open the book of
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			Allah Number 1, my
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:27
			then listen up to this first point my
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:28
			brothers
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			and my sisters.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			And listen up to this first point my
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			brothers and my sisters.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			The first point is
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			Tati
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			To give precedence to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			To make him priority in your life.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			Right?
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			By doing that which is pleasing to him.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			Listen up to
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			Ibrahim had to say. He
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			says,
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			He says,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			the heart will not experience
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			happiness
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			and it will also not endure its ultimate
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:35
			sweetness
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:37
			except
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:43
			by doing that which will bring you closer
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			And loving Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala more than
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			you love anything else in this world.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			Right?
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			And this cannot be possible.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:57
			You cannot love Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala accordingly
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			my brothers and my sisters.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			Accept that you turn
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:04
			Allah
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			What does that mean my brothers and my
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			sisters?
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			Does that mean you can't love your wife?
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			You can't love your parents?
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:14
			Right?
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			You can't take from the dunya.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			Is that what it means? No, it doesn't.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			It means that Allah
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala comes before everything
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			that might well be important to you.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			He is number one priority
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			and no one is going to get in
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			between him
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			and myself,
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:36
			right?
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			At times my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			you find yourself in a predicament.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			You have your friends who are calling you
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:45
			to haram.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			It's very very tempting,
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			right?
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			You know
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:01
			Whoever wants a pure clean heart
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:05
			then let him always put Allah Azzawajal before
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			his desires, before he shahwa.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			You know my brothers and my sisters especially
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			on my Instagram,
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:12
			I always
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			receive messages from brothers and sisters.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			A lot of time it's sisters
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			who message and saying that they're heartbroken.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			Right?
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			The guy made her all of these promises
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			and he eventually dumped her.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			He left her disappointed.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			Is it really really surprising my brothers and
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			my sisters that she is now
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			in the state of misery, of sadness?
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			It's really not surprising to me. Right?
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			And that is because
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			we have chosen other than Allah over
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:44
			who?
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			Mutanian says, He says, No.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			Anyone
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			who loves 'Abdulun Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			Meaning he prioritizes 'Abdulun Allah Azza wa Jal
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			over him
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			It's only a matter of time, it's only
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			a matter of time
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			that you are left hurt
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			by that person that you prioritized.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			Now she's hurt, she's broken,
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			she is what? Suffering from all types of
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:16
			misery
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:17
			and sadness,
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:21
			right? And that is because she preferred other
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			than Allah aza wa ta'ala.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			And sometimes you find that in a work
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			setting,
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:29
			right? We're more concerned about pleasing that boss.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:32
			At the expense of our religion. You know
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			you have to get up and start praying
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			But you don't want to rock the boat,
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			right? You
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:42
			don't want him to think that you are
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			Muslim,
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			Sahih.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			You don't want him to think like that.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			Right? You just wanna blend in,
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			so that you get maybe
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			a pay raise later on down the line.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			You don't even inquire about
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			whether I can maybe
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			be let into a room
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			board. With one
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			another
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			and we've seen it happen across the board.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			And I wanna rock the boat
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			with the guy who Allah
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			is providing
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			for. With the guy who Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			Ta'ala is providing for.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			You look at him as the provider. Allah
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			is providing for you and him as well.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			And this is the statement of the prophet
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he said
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			whoever tries to seek the pleasure
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			of the creation
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			and on the way of doing so it
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			displeases Allah as a way of what happens.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			Allah becomes angry with him and the creation
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			become angry with him as well.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:54
			You're left disappointed and you're left hurt. And
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			that is simply because, and that is simply
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:56
			because
		
00:29:57 --> 00:30:01
			you prioritize other than Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:05
			Right? You're left disappointed and you're left hurt.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			So if you want the ultimate happiness my
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:08
			brothers and my sisters,
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			do what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala told you
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			to do.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			It's hard, it's a predicament that you find
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			yourself in. Your friends are all going to
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:17
			haram,
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:19
			right?
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			And you
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			all shall I, shall I not?
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:25
			Right?
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			You turn away my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:31
			right?
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			You leave it up behind for the sake
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:34
			of Allah.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			See how you feel almost instantly
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			upon turning away from that haram.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:44
			Take this from me guys. Almost instantly
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			the moment the moment
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			you hold back from that haram which is
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			so tempting,
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			right? The bigger the struggle, the bigger the
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			reward. See how you feel
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			almost immediately brothers and sisters.
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			You know what my favorite hadith is? Who
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:03
			can tell me?
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			It's my favorite hadith,
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			Tawdul.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			Allahu Adbar. Allahu Adbar.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			You got that from the
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:22
			What's your name?
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			Say it Ali. At the Yemeni?
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			O Masha Allah.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			I can exey it.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			You don't leave something for the sake of
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala except
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			Allah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is going to
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			give you that which is better.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			And you will see that my brothers and
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			mothers almost instantly,
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:43
			right?
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			So putting Allah first.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:48
			Right.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			Know the fitna that strikes the heart my
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			brothers and my sisters that pierces through
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:13
			it,
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			will not go away unless
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			it is Allah
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			who's most important inside of your heart.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			And then you have the
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:31
			opposite.
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:39
			Sinning and corruption. You know what it causes
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40
			your heart?
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:41
			Distress,
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:42
			agony,
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			fear, sadness,
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:46
			tightness of the chest,
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			and also different ailments and sickness of the
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			heart.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			And there is no cure for it except
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:56
			by returning back to Allah as though they
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			repenting.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			Are we beginning to see why we may
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			feel a certain way my brothers and my
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:04
			sisters?
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			Yeah.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			You must be wondering my brothers and my
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			sisters, where did all of these different statements
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:12
			come from?
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			Right.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:16
			You know, one time my brothers and my
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:17
			sisters, a brother
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			in a WhatsApp group,
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:21
			he asked a Sheikh.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			It's all sub groups that I was
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:25
			inside.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			Yes Sheikh, and he's a student of knowledge.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:31
			Right?
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			Yes Sheikh, how can I soften up my
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:34
			heart?
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:39
			How can I soften up my heart?
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			The response of the Sheikh was,
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			I don't know what to tell you because
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			my heart is not soft.
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:47
			Right?
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			And I'll put this to the Sheikh
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:00
			this
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			Right? So that night I went through maybe
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			5 years of notes on my iPhone.
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			You know, on Apple you have these notes.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10
			Right? And
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			you guys might want to utilize it
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:15
			by
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			taking the benefits that you come across and
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			then saving on them.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			So I would do every year. Whenever I
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			came across the benefit, I would just save
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:24
			on
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:25
			that.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:28
			Whenever a Sheikh talked about softening the heart,
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			I just took that
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			and put it
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			away. Alright.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			I'm honestly thinking of turning this into a
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36
			book, guys.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			Alright. All of these different statements
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			great scholars, the classical scholars of the past.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			It is as if they are living amongst
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			us brothers and sisters, allay and Adi.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			They really, tainted
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			and it's not tainted
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:58
			and it's not easy living in this kind
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			of environment especially if you live here in
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			New York,
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:02
			right?
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			How the women are justified.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			They're used as marketing tools
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10
			to grab the attention of the consumer.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			You see a toothbrush being sold, right? Toothbrush
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:16
			or a toothpaste
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			being advertised on the billboard and then you
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			have half naked woman right next to it.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			What on earth does the half naked woman
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:23
			got to do with the 2 of her
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24
			she goes?
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			Tell me, because they know that's what's gonna
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27
			grab your attention.
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:29
			Right?
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:31
			It's our
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			sister said
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			that when I called the women yesterday fitna,
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:38
			I'm not going to answer this on camera.
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			She goes, I don't like how you're speaking
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:41
			about the women.
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:44
			I was just quoting the Hadith of Prophet
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:46
			SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, right?
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:50
			And I think she missed the Masurah I
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			was saying
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			so I'm going to explain you now. The
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			I haven't left
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			a fitna that is greater upon women,
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:03
			on men.
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			I haven't left the if it's enough. There
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			is more greater upon men than
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10
			women.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:11
			That doesn't mean that the woman's bad. Right?
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12
			But that her
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			that's how it's maybe been understood.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:23
			Alright.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:32
			The point that I was trying to make
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			is
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			that the men are weak.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			They need help,
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			right? Just be honest here
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			that's our biggest fitna.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			Men struggle with that, right?
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:44
			Anyone disagree?
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			This is a problem Wallahi Alim. If a
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			man thinks that he has
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			right? The toughness
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56
			and the capability
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:59
			right to hold himself together when he's alone
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:00
			with a woman
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			I don't know what planet you're from,
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:04
			right?
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			Allah Azza wa Jalal told us this,
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:09
			Man has been created
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			weak.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			He says what this weakness here means is
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			man's lowering lowering his gaze, a lady walks
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:17
			past who just can't hold himself together except
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:17
			by looking at her. It's a weakness that
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:17
			we have, it's our biggest fitna. Right? So
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			my sisters don't misunderstand what I'm saying,
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34
			Jal
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			many things happen,
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:37
			does that make sense?
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40
			Right. So it's hitting our heart the fitna
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			is there,
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			summer time,
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:43
			right.
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:46
			They're barely wearing anything and we're seeing this
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			it is destroying our hearts brothers and sisters,
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:52
			right? It's really destroying our hearts.
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:54
			And every time there is what a black
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			dot on the heart what does he do?
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58
			He affix it.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:00
			More black dots and more and more up
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:03
			until the whole heart now becomes black.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:11
			2nd one my brothers, my sisters, second point.
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:13
			How long do I have sheikh?
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:15
			34
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:17
			minutes.
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			20 minutes. Okay.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:26
			What time do you start? We started at,
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			like, 6:40.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:29
			Alright. Take me.
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			We've got difference of opinion.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:40
			Ameen, mashaAllah, our brother Ameen
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42
			drove down from Philly with his
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:43
			Tesla.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:45
			May Allah bless him.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48
			2nd one brother and sister that's really really
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:49
			going to soften up your heart.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			Right? Dealing with the people in a kind
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:57
			manner.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			Being nice to them, right?
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11
			Right? There's nothing more beneficial to the heart
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			than treating the people
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			kindly, right? Treating them nicely guys.
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:21
			And loving good for them.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25
			Let me give an example,
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:26
			right.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			Allah
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:29
			has blessed you in your venture.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			You know,
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			Sheikh here,
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:34
			he sells these lovely hats,
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:39
			We call him the Halal Huris, you know.
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			Alaa Mubarak is doing amazing.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:44
			Somebody comes up to him and he wants
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:46
			to try, he wants to try that same
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			trade,
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50
			and he asked him how did you get
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:51
			these hats done I want to put my
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			own brand on it.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			Shaitan might whisper and say, competitor
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			This guy be trying to take over, right?
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04
			What was the hadith of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:04
			alaihiwasalam?
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			1 is not a true believer until he
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			loves for his brother what
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			he loves for? Himself. The way we should
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			or we could really apply this hadith is
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			in situations like this. Loving, khair and good
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			for others.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25
			Perhaps now Allah Azza wa Jal is going
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26
			to bless your business even more.
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:27
			Right?
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:29
			You know I have
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:34
			a
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			Whoever loves for
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:40
			others
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41
			to progress,
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			to move forward, then he is going to
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45
			move forward as well.
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:46
			Sometimes
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:49
			even in the Dao sphere, right? It can
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			get very very toxic.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			Everyone's scared for his throne,
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:56
			He's gonna take over my member,
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			right? No my brothers and my sisters it
		
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59
			shouldn't be like that.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02
			Right, we've come across some elders MashaAllah. They
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			look at the youngsters and they say
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			I could take the reins,
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:07
			right?
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			You guys take the baton You Allah
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:11
			while others are terrified for
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			their for their positions,
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17
			they'll try and put you down
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18
			right?
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:21
			So treating the people in a kind manner,
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:23
			treat them nicely.
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:25
			You're really really busy my brothers and my
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:26
			sisters.
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			You've got an exam coming up and you
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30
			feel like that the whole world is crumbling
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:31
			down
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:32
			over your head,
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:34
			right?
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			Go and help somebody out,
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			see what this does to you,
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42
			right? You know Sheikh Al Samtaim Rahmatullahi
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:43
			Ali right?
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50
			He would really really go out his way
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			to help others, really
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52
			go out his way.
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			Why?
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56
			Because he knows if he helps others Allah
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			Azza wa Jal will help him.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			Wallahu fee a'unil Abdul Abdul
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			fee a'awni aqih. Allah is in the aid
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:04
			and the assistance
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06
			of his servant
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			as long as he's helping his brothers.
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:11
			You see an old lady with shopping bags
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:12
			guys
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:14
			that's struggling,
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			help her out. See how you feel almost
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			instantly brothers and sisters,
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:19
			right.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			Just helping the people out. You're thinking to
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:22
			yourself
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			you know
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			it's going to busy me. No brothers and
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:26
			sisters, not.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:30
			See the Baraka that you see in your
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:30
			time,
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:32
			right?
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			It's being deaf for the people my brothers
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:36
			and my sisters
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			can really really go a long way.
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			Ibrahim Nultanay
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:41
			alaihi says,
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:49
			From the ways
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:51
			of really bringing yourself peace,
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			right?
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:56
			And feeling great inside of your heart
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:58
			is being good to the creation.
		
00:42:58 --> 00:42:59
			And then look what he says,
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			benefiting them in that which you are able
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			with when it comes to wealth.
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:08
			You may not necessarily have the physical capability
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			but you have the wealth to support them.
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:14
			Wazja, you may not necessarily have the money,
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			right? You may not necessarily
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:20
			have the the power that Allah Azza wa
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:22
			Jal give certain individuals that have strength
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:24
			but you have links.
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:27
			He says, Here waja.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:31
			Some people have links. Right? They can make
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:31
			things happen
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:33
			but he doesn't have the strength to maybe
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			help you move something or to push a
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			car. He doesn't have
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			that, right?
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:41
			Or he doesn't have money but he's got
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:41
			links.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44
			Does that make sense?
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:48
			1 Nif Abi Bil Badin Wa'an Wa'uri Hassan,
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:49
			right?
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:50
			Some have the capability
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			with the body power, right?
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:56
			And then look what he says
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:01
			The one who is generous, the one who
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:02
			is generous, the one who is a good
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04
			dua. He is the person my brothers and
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:06
			my sisters that is the most content.
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:14
			He has the most purest of us.
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			He's in a very very good place spiritually.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			The one who really really goes out his
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			way, my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			to help others.
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26
			And I have so many statements written down.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			Maybe we'll publish it one day, my brothers
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:28
			and
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			sisters. Is anyone here more busy than the
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:35
			Prophet
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:38
			Right. Sometimes we turn around and say we're
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			busy,
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:41
			I don't have time,
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:42
			right.
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:44
			Messenger who
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			is a general,
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			who was a Mufti, who was a Qadi,
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			he who had 9 wives at the same
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:52
			time.
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:54
			Allah you guys
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:58
			are You don't even have 1, right?
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			He had 9 wives at the same
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:04
			time. He had children,
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:07
			right? He was dealing with Janais people that
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:08
			were passing away,
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:09
			teaching the people.
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:12
			He had all of that and still my
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:14
			brothers and my sisters this hadith subhanAllah doesn't
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:16
			feel to really amaze me all the time.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:17
			Anas
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21
			He tells us about a lady,
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:25
			She had issues in her intellect.
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:27
			Fakkalati
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:29
			Rasoolallah, one time she came to the messenger
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:30
			of Allah and she said,
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34
			There is something that you have that I
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			need.
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:37
			So he said,
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:39
			Oh mother of so and so.
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:46
			Don't worry.
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:48
			Take me wherever.
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			Right? She was a woman who was a
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:51
			mentally 100%.
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:54
			Right? Take me wherever you need and
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:57
			I'm ready to be there by your side.
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00
			So he helped her out up until she
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:01
			finished.
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:04
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			There was never someone in a messenger sallallahu
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:12
			alaihi wasallam was asked that he ever said
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:13
			no. Messenger
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:15
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he also said in
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:16
			another hadith.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:23
			The most beloved people to Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:25
			Ta'ala those who are most beneficial to the
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:26
			people.
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:32
			And the most beloved actions to Allah aza
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			wa jal is some happiness that you enter
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:35
			into his
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:36
			heart.
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:41
			He's going through some distress, some hardship, you
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:42
			remove it.
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			You see that your brother has some debt
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			you help him remove it.
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:50
			He's hungry and you help him remove
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:51
			that.
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			That I go with my brother
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:57
			to help him out and something that he
		
00:46:57 --> 00:47:00
			needs is more beloved to me than doing
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:05
			in this Masjid and he pointed to his
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:06
			Masjid.
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:07
			Right?
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:15
			Number 3 my brothers and sisters,
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:17
			number 3.
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:18
			Ghadul
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:19
			Basar,
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:22
			lowering your gaze.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:26
			It's one of those things that really, really
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:28
			softens up your heart.
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:30
			Imnataymiyyah says,
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:32
			narrating this from Mujahid,
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:39
			Lowering your case from that which is Haram
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:41
			brings about the love of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:42
			Ta'ala.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:44
			Right? And I know it's not easy my
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:45
			brothers and my sisters.
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:47
			However what you need to understand my brothers
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49
			and my sisters us not lowering the gaze
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:51
			may well be the reason why we end
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:53
			up losing our faith,
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:56
			right. It all starts with an innocent look
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:57
			then it becomes intriguing.
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:00
			One thing leads to
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:03
			another, what the eyes can't see the heart
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			more and desire
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:07
			and before you know it you find yourself
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:09
			in a very, very dark place.
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:12
			Imra Josi says, No.
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:18
			That the root cause for becoming infatuated.
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			Infatuated is a sickness my brothers and my
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:21
			sisters.
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:23
			Infatuation
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:26
			becoming lovesick where one can no longer control
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:28
			himself. He wakes up and he goes to
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:30
			sleep thinking about that which he looks at.
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:31
			He
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:33
			says,
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39
			Just as it's fit for a man it
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40
			is also fit for a woman.
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:43
			And then look what he says, This is
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:43
			so touching,
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			right?
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:51
			The religion
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:57
			the deal went guys. He's not talking about
		
00:48:57 --> 00:48:59
			the drug dealer, he's not talking about a
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:02
			sinner. He's talking about someone who
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:04
			is a devout worshipper of Allah azza wa
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:08
			jal. He said he lost his religion because
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:09
			he did not know his case.
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:12
			She said you need to be careful.
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:17
			My brothers and my sisters talks about some
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			of the benefits
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			that bring about
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:21
			when you lower your gaze,
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:23
			right?
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:25
			He mentions 3 guys.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:29
			Number
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:32
			1
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:35
			The sweetness of faith,
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:36
			right?
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:38
			Sweetness of faith.
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:41
			That peace that an individual will end up
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:41
			feeling,
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:42
			right?
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:43
			And then he
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:48
			says, Because when you leave someone for the
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:49
			sake Allah will give it out which is
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:50
			better.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:51
			Number 2,
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:57
			Allah Azawajal will grow in your heart and
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:58
			He will grant you intuition.
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			You guys know what intuition
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:03
			is? Sometimes you can see danger coming from
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:06
			afar while others will only realize the moment
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:07
			they hit with it.
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11
			You begin to see things that others may
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:12
			not necessarily see,
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:14
			right?
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:14
			Initially.
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:17
			And then the third thing my brothers and
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:19
			my sisters, look what he says.
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:23
			Allah Azzawajal
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:25
			will strengthen your heart.
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:27
			It will make it courageous
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:28
			and firm.
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33
			And the shaytan will run away from that
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:34
			kind of individual.
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37
			And that is because you put in an
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			effort in lowering your gaze.
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43
			You can only have the first look guys,
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:46
			the first look only
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:48
			and then you have to move your eyes
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:49
			away.
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:51
			You don't move your eyes away my brothers
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:51
			and my sisters,
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			you've only got yourself to blame when you
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:55
			find yourself in a
		
00:50:58 --> 00:50:59
			very dark place. The same goes with sisters.
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:02
			I know sometimes sister thinks that they have
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:03
			some sort of green card,
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06
			Right? So they are excused from this.
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:22
			Says, Lowering your gaze it is the foundation
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:23
			to preserving your heart,
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:25
			right?
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:26
			And this why,
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:28
			this is why
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:31
			when Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala spoke about
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:35
			lowering your gaze and also safeguarding the private
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:36
			part.
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38
			Which was mentioned first?
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:48
			Tell the believing man and also the believing
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:48
			woman
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:51
			to lower them and then to safeguard their
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:52
			private parts.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:55
			Because like I said earlier, what the eyes
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:56
			can't see the heart wants,
		
00:51:57 --> 00:51:57
			zaya.
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:00
			You looked now you wanna do the next
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:01
			thing.
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:03
			Your lust
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:04
			completely
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:06
			sparks out of control.
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:11
			The of the eyes is what? Looking. The
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:12
			of the tongue is
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:14
			chirping
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:15
			or flirting,
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:17
			right?
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:19
			And the zina of the hand is what?
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:23
			The zina of the feet is what?
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:28
			Sometimes an innocent innocent glance.
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:32
			The moment you click on her profile picture
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:32
			my brothers,
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:34
			you are playing with fire.
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:38
			You are playing with fire,
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:39
			right?
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			And sometimes what happens she sips into your
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:42
			DMs,
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:44
			right?
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:46
			Shaitan is whispering.
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:48
			What you mean I'm gonna say guys?
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:49
			Give her
		
00:52:57 --> 00:52:57
			dawah.
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:00
			And she ends up giving him to our
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:01
			guys.
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:11
			Said one time we left with Sufianath Thuri
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:13
			on the day of Eid.
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:14
			He said
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:20
			The first thing we're going to start with
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:22
			today on the day of Eid is when
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:24
			all the girls start coming out dressing to
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:25
			impress, right?
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:29
			And you got some men that start flaunting
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:30
			their wives, right?
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:33
			You guys know what I mean?
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:37
			I has a big problem here in America.
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:40
			Flaunting your wife. Hey, everybody. Come look at
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:40
			my wife.
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:43
			He's the one that dresses her up,
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:45
			slaps the makeup on her face.
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:48
			Don't worry,
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:49
			you know.
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:50
			I think you guys call this a simp,
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:51
			right?
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:56
			Right? This is a problem my brothers.
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:57
			The principle is here when it
		
00:54:01 --> 00:54:01
			we
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:05
			modestly.
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:08
			It's unfortunate that some of our sisters
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:12
			they dress better outside of the house than
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:12
			than inside.
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:15
			Are you trying to impress?
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:17
			Your husband
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:19
			is most deserving to your good looks and
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:21
			to makeup and to your hair and
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:23
			and your fancy clothes
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:27
			and that is glittery and glamorous and whatever
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:27
			have you, right?
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:30
			While she's at home she might be wearing
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:31
			her pyjamas,
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:33
			right?
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:35
			Doesn't put in an effort
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:36
			and you as well my friend, you have
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:37
			to put in your effort.
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:39
			Abdulai
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:41
			radiAllahu ta'ala will dress up to his wife.
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:44
			To dress up
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:46
			because he would love that also
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:49
			from his wife, right? Works both ways.
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:52
			Reason why I'm pointing out the sisters and
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:54
			please sisters don't take it the wrong way.
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:55
			Right?
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:58
			It mainly happens on the day of Eid.
		
00:54:58 --> 00:55:00
			It is like a party that the sister
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:01
			is going to
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:03
			dressing to impress.
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:07
			It's like sometimes if you can see, you
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:08
			know, on the day of Eid, it's Ramadan,
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:10
			the shayateen are locked up. Right? Like on
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:12
			the day of Eid it's actually been released
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13
			with how people behave on
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:17
			Eid. So he's saying first thing that we
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:18
			start with on the day of Eid is
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:19
			by lowering our gaze.
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:23
			There was even SubhanAllah,
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:25
			these righteous men of the past
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:27
			Yeah.
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:29
			These righteous men of the past,
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:32
			I forgot his
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:37
			name. Usinan or something like that.
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:39
			He went out for ayna when he came
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:39
			back.
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			His wife asked him how many good looking
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:44
			women did you look at?
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:47
			He said,
		
00:55:50 --> 00:55:52
			from the moment I left, all the way
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:53
			till I came back,
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:56
			I only looked down to my
		
00:55:56 --> 00:55:56
			toes,
		
00:55:57 --> 00:55:58
			the Ibham.
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:01
			Many many years ago I said this in
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:02
			a video,
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:04
			and I completely
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:06
			Ibham.
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:07
			I said the thumb.
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:12
			So some people interpreted it as, you know,
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:13
			walk around looking at your thumb.
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:16
			Because you have Ibham
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:18
			on your hands and you got Ibham on
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:20
			your feet as well, right? So you look
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:21
			down,
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:28
			right.
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:31
			How many are we on?
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:33
			30.
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:35
			What? 30?
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:51
			Ibn Uthayn Rahmatullahi Alaihi says,
		
00:56:52 --> 00:56:54
			when you sit with the righteous, 6 things
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:57
			will change for you. That's 5, 6.
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:01
			6. 6 things will change for you.
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:03
			Number 1,
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:06
			You're somebody who has doubts
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:09
			by sitting with the righteous, and when we
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:11
			say righteous we're not just referring to someone
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:12
			who has
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:14
			righteous righteous
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:16
			deeds. What makes you more righteous is the
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:18
			knowledge that you come with. Right?
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:21
			You're someone who's suffering from doubts, these doubts
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:22
			change into what? Yaqeen,
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:23
			certainty.
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:24
			Agreed?
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:28
			Number 2, Wa minariya ilalagkhlas.
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:31
			You're someone who likes to show off but
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:32
			you sit with the righteous.
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:36
			They encourage you and remind you of being
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:36
			sincere.
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:39
			Number 3, Wamin
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:41
			being someone who's heedless
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:43
			to being someone who's what?
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:48
			Someone who's
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:51
			what? Someone who's remembering of Allah Subhanahu wa
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:53
			ta'ala. More conscious of Allah wajal if you're
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:53
			allah.
		
00:57:54 --> 00:57:55
			Number 4,
		
00:57:57 --> 00:57:59
			being someone who's chasing after the dunya to
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:01
			being more conscious of the hereafter.
		
00:58:01 --> 00:58:02
			Number 5,
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:06
			being someone who has arrogance,
		
00:58:07 --> 00:58:08
			to being someone who is humble.
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:10
			Number 6,
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:14
			Being someone who has bad intentions,
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:15
			to being someone
		
00:58:19 --> 00:58:20
			advise people sincerely,
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:22
			right?
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:25
			I must point out my brothers and my
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:26
			sisters
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:29
			that when you go into these universities especially,
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:33
			we run into a lot of people.
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:36
			Right. We run into a lot of people.
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:36
			Right.
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:40
			You're right there?
		
00:58:41 --> 00:58:42
			Yeah. Okay.
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:43
			We
		
00:58:45 --> 00:58:47
			run into a lot of people, brothers and
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:47
			sisters.
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:50
			Today
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:53
			someone may look extremely righteous, however,
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:57
			he's polluted or she's polluted.
		
00:58:58 --> 00:58:58
			Okay?
		
00:58:59 --> 00:59:01
			A sister is dressing modestly
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:03
			from top to bottom.
		
00:59:05 --> 00:59:06
			But then Madi Hasidl,
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:10
			Because of her mind being polluted with this
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:11
			feminist ideology
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:14
			you run into her thinking that she's righteous
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:16
			and that she's a good person
		
00:59:16 --> 00:59:19
			who holds your best interest.
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:23
			Only for you to all of a sudden
		
00:59:23 --> 00:59:24
			find yourself flirting
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:25
			with kufr.
		
00:59:28 --> 00:59:29
			Allahu alaihi.
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:31
			I'm sure some of you
		
00:59:32 --> 00:59:34
			brothers have seen a video with one of
		
00:59:34 --> 00:59:35
			the very well known famous
		
00:59:37 --> 00:59:38
			speaker's corner,
		
00:59:40 --> 00:59:41
			debaters, right?
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:43
			Who was standing with this 17 year old
		
00:59:43 --> 00:59:45
			or 18 year old hijabi.
		
00:59:59 --> 00:59:59
			Right?
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:02
			Wallahi Alaihi my brothers madam, some of the
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:04
			statements that are coming out of her mouth
		
01:00:04 --> 01:00:05
			is borderline Islam.
		
01:00:09 --> 01:00:11
			She's been made to feel or she's been
		
01:00:11 --> 01:00:11
			convinced
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:14
			that the way we should look at everything
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:14
			is
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:17
			with the lens of equal rights.
		
01:00:19 --> 01:00:21
			Sorry guys, every lecture somehow the feminism comes
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:22
			out.
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:25
			I'm getting ready for Minnesota.
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:29
			Equal
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:33
			rights. Did Islam come to establish equal rights
		
01:00:33 --> 01:00:34
			or came to establish justice?
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37
			This is why we don't tell our women
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:38
			to go and work in the suegis.
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:41
			Would anyone here in their right mind instruct
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:43
			his wife or his daughter or his sister
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:44
			to go and work in the sewages?
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:48
			They're equal rights though. Right?
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:51
			Just as a man would work there let
		
01:00:51 --> 01:00:53
			a woman go work there as well
		
01:00:53 --> 01:00:55
			or under the scorching heat
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:57
			building these skyscrapers
		
01:00:58 --> 01:01:01
			or some of these hard labor jobs equal
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:01
			rights.
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:05
			We treat our women with
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:10
			right? Even if she's a multi billionaire you
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:14
			as a husband still have to put clothes
		
01:01:14 --> 01:01:15
			on her.
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:17
			Did you know that?
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:19
			That's why I told you my sister the
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:21
			big red flag is, big red flag.
		
01:01:22 --> 01:01:24
			The moment his brother
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:27
			at the marriage meeting expects you to start
		
01:01:27 --> 01:01:28
			paying for half the bills.
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:34
			That's a big red flag guys,
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:36
			right?
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:39
			But now are we still running around with
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:40
			equal rights?
		
01:01:41 --> 01:01:43
			He has to pay for the bills. If
		
01:01:43 --> 01:01:44
			you want to help her, excellent.
		
01:01:45 --> 01:01:45
			Great.
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:48
			But is it imposed it imposed upon
		
01:01:49 --> 01:01:51
			her? Is it conditional? No, it's not.
		
01:01:53 --> 01:01:54
			Right?
		
01:01:54 --> 01:01:56
			I think that's very, very important that we
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:56
			realize.
		
01:01:57 --> 01:01:59
			You have a lot more rights my sister
		
01:01:59 --> 01:02:00
			than you think.
		
01:02:01 --> 01:02:03
			But sometimes the issue is because
		
01:02:03 --> 01:02:06
			how men have conducted themselves,
		
01:02:07 --> 01:02:07
			women,
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:08
			women
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:11
			they start going down that lane of Feminism.
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:14
			Does that make sense? They start going down
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:15
			that lane of Feminism.
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:18
			So we need to be aware of that
		
01:02:18 --> 01:02:18
			as
		
01:02:19 --> 01:02:22
			well. There's different causes for it. Sometimes demands,
		
01:02:23 --> 01:02:24
			you know,
		
01:02:25 --> 01:02:25
			sometimes these
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:29
			universities. You guys got a problem with what
		
01:02:29 --> 01:02:30
			I said?
		
01:02:31 --> 01:02:32
			About looking after the woman,
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:34
			paying for the bills?
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:48
			When we talk about mujalasatussalihe
		
01:02:49 --> 01:02:51
			my brothers and sisters, we have to expand
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:51
			on
		
01:02:52 --> 01:02:53
			it and make that a little bit more
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:54
			relevant today's
		
01:02:55 --> 01:02:56
			day and age.
		
01:02:57 --> 01:02:59
			When the scholars of the past spoke about
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:00
			being with the righteous
		
01:03:01 --> 01:03:03
			they were referring to hanging around with them,
		
01:03:05 --> 01:03:06
			going to them directly.
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:09
			However, in today's day and age the dynamics
		
01:03:09 --> 01:03:10
			have changed. Agreed?
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:13
			This is why you have something called Facebook
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:13
			friends.
		
01:03:16 --> 01:03:17
			You don't just have
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:19
			friends that you meet in person anymore,
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:21
			you have virtual friends.
		
01:03:22 --> 01:03:24
			Once upon a time my brothers and my
		
01:03:24 --> 01:03:26
			sisters a parent said Alhamdulillah
		
01:03:27 --> 01:03:28
			my children are at home
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:30
			She is not hanging around with all of
		
01:03:30 --> 01:03:32
			these girls that are what? Going to the
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:33
			clubs.
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:36
			My child is not hanging around with drug
		
01:03:36 --> 01:03:36
			dealers.
		
01:03:38 --> 01:03:38
			They're
		
01:03:39 --> 01:03:40
			at home.
		
01:03:40 --> 01:03:41
			Today a child
		
01:03:42 --> 01:03:43
			or a young man, I'm not even gonna
		
01:03:43 --> 01:03:45
			say young man anymore. Any person
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:47
			might be just on his phone
		
01:03:48 --> 01:03:51
			in between those 4 walls, right? Four walls.
		
01:03:51 --> 01:03:54
			And he's exposed to so much more filth
		
01:03:55 --> 01:03:57
			than you would if you went outside. Agreed?
		
01:03:58 --> 01:04:00
			The whole world has become like a small
		
01:04:00 --> 01:04:01
			little village.
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:04
			The World Wide Web is just a fingertip
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:07
			away. So here, that's what www.stands for by
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:08
			the way for those who didn't
		
01:04:11 --> 01:04:13
			know. The world wide web is a fingertip
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:14
			away
		
01:04:16 --> 01:04:19
			where you become exposed to all types of
		
01:04:19 --> 01:04:20
			filth.
		
01:04:22 --> 01:04:23
			Alright?
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:25
			Let me ask you guys question.
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:27
			Going on to
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:30
			the Washington Post on your phone, is that
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:31
			haram?
		
01:04:33 --> 01:04:34
			Reading the news is haram?
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:37
			Haram? Doing that which is permissible, is that
		
01:04:37 --> 01:04:37
			Haram?
		
01:04:39 --> 01:04:40
			Don't even think it makes sense, right? Doing
		
01:04:40 --> 01:04:42
			that which is permissible is Haram.
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:45
			You know a statement of Ibn al Jazir
		
01:04:46 --> 01:04:48
			that, you know, it makes a lot of
		
01:04:48 --> 01:04:49
			sense to
		
01:04:49 --> 01:04:51
			a lot of things that happen.
		
01:04:51 --> 01:04:52
			He says,
		
01:04:55 --> 01:04:57
			He says, When the heart, when the
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:01
			heart begins to drown
		
01:05:02 --> 01:05:03
			in that which is permissible.
		
01:05:06 --> 01:05:07
			We're not talking about
		
01:05:08 --> 01:05:09
			that which is recommended or that which is
		
01:05:09 --> 01:05:10
			why it's cheap. We're just talking about things
		
01:05:10 --> 01:05:11
			that, okay, is permissible.
		
01:05:12 --> 01:05:14
			When you over exhaust that,
		
01:05:16 --> 01:05:18
			right, your heart begins to
		
01:05:18 --> 01:05:19
			darken.
		
01:05:26 --> 01:05:27
			Guys pay attention.
		
01:05:27 --> 01:05:29
			This is very very important.
		
01:05:31 --> 01:05:32
			When the heart now
		
01:05:33 --> 01:05:36
			begins to drown in that which is permissible,
		
01:05:37 --> 01:05:38
			it becomes dark.
		
01:05:39 --> 01:05:40
			And then he says,
		
01:05:41 --> 01:05:42
			If I gave a bit Haram.
		
01:05:43 --> 01:05:45
			If that happens now with the permissible things
		
01:05:45 --> 01:05:48
			then how about the one whom actually engages
		
01:05:48 --> 01:05:49
			Haram? I'll give you guys another example that
		
01:05:49 --> 01:05:50
			you can relate to. Because we had the
		
01:05:50 --> 01:05:52
			Lakers playing with the Nets yesterday, right?
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:55
			Around the corner from here. He's playing basketball
		
01:05:55 --> 01:05:56
			Haram.
		
01:05:58 --> 01:05:58
			You guys
		
01:06:01 --> 01:06:03
			saw? Yes. You guys don't know Surajid?
		
01:06:04 --> 01:06:05
			Anil Mashaikh
		
01:06:14 --> 01:06:16
			one against me? Because apparently I said sports
		
01:06:16 --> 01:06:17
			are haram.
		
01:06:18 --> 01:06:20
			I told the Sheikh, Sheikh, I'm a baller
		
01:06:20 --> 01:06:21
			myself.
		
01:06:22 --> 01:06:22
			Right?
		
01:06:24 --> 01:06:25
			So I was playing sports, it's not haram
		
01:06:25 --> 01:06:26
			guys.
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:28
			Some of you guys said it very, very
		
01:06:28 --> 01:06:28
			hesitantly.
		
01:06:29 --> 01:06:30
			It's fine.
		
01:06:30 --> 01:06:32
			But when it now becomes excessive,
		
01:06:34 --> 01:06:35
			when it becomes excessive,
		
01:06:36 --> 01:06:37
			Ibn al Josi is saying,
		
01:06:38 --> 01:06:40
			doing that which is permissible excessively
		
01:06:41 --> 01:06:43
			is going to cause your heart to become
		
01:06:43 --> 01:06:43
			dark.
		
01:06:44 --> 01:06:47
			Spending hours and hours and hours just playing
		
01:06:48 --> 01:06:49
			and and it says
		
01:06:51 --> 01:06:52
			Now we come onto the phones.
		
01:06:53 --> 01:06:55
			Give all these examples. So you what?
		
01:06:56 --> 01:06:57
			It begins to make sense.
		
01:06:58 --> 01:07:00
			Constantly being on our phones,
		
01:07:01 --> 01:07:03
			generally speaking using your phone is fine.
		
01:07:04 --> 01:07:06
			Constantly being on your phone my brothers and
		
01:07:06 --> 01:07:09
			my sisters, believe it or not it's having
		
01:07:09 --> 01:07:10
			a big effect on our hearts.
		
01:07:12 --> 01:07:14
			It really really is,
		
01:07:14 --> 01:07:15
			right?
		
01:07:15 --> 01:07:17
			Today when you walk in, right? You see
		
01:07:17 --> 01:07:19
			someone is on his phone, you have to
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:20
			give salaam to 2 people, him and also
		
01:07:20 --> 01:07:21
			his phone,
		
01:07:22 --> 01:07:24
			right? In order to get his attention, you
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:25
			have to take it away
		
01:07:27 --> 01:07:30
			from him. We're suffering inside, guys. We're suffering.
		
01:07:30 --> 01:07:32
			And you know how we are making up
		
01:07:32 --> 01:07:34
			for it? What we're doing to make ourselves
		
01:07:34 --> 01:07:37
			feel better? By just staying on our phones
		
01:07:37 --> 01:07:37
			distracted.
		
01:07:38 --> 01:07:39
			Just scrolling through it.
		
01:07:43 --> 01:07:45
			Take that take that phone away from you.
		
01:07:45 --> 01:07:46
			It becomes like a.
		
01:07:47 --> 01:07:48
			Right?
		
01:07:48 --> 01:07:53
			Somebody who's like an addict. And that is
		
01:07:53 --> 01:07:58
			because our hearts will be calm.
		
01:07:58 --> 01:08:00
			How long do you have shake?
		
01:08:02 --> 01:08:04
			We got 5 minutes. Right? How many have
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:05
			we done guys?
		
01:08:08 --> 01:08:09
			Type.
		
01:08:11 --> 01:08:12
			Number 5 guys.
		
01:08:19 --> 01:08:21
			To recite the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
01:08:21 --> 01:08:22
			Ta'ala and to reflect on it.
		
01:08:40 --> 01:08:41
			Allah Azza wa Jal has not sent down
		
01:08:41 --> 01:08:42
			anything from the
		
01:08:43 --> 01:08:44
			Quran.
		
01:08:52 --> 01:08:53
			Than the Quran.
		
01:08:55 --> 01:08:56
			I'm gonna share something very private to you
		
01:08:56 --> 01:08:57
			guys.
		
01:08:58 --> 01:08:59
			I don't think I've ever said this
		
01:09:01 --> 01:09:02
			publicly. When I was in Medina,
		
01:09:03 --> 01:09:04
			right,
		
01:09:05 --> 01:09:06
			I would generally speaking
		
01:09:07 --> 01:09:09
			spend a lot of time in the Haram.
		
01:09:12 --> 01:09:14
			My timetable would be Asr time, I'm there
		
01:09:15 --> 01:09:16
			all the way
		
01:09:18 --> 01:09:21
			till maybe around 9:30 and I would come
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:23
			back. That would be my daily schedule.
		
01:09:25 --> 01:09:27
			When it came to my university studies, I
		
01:09:27 --> 01:09:29
			would just be the type who just revises
		
01:09:29 --> 01:09:31
			for it. I need exam peers, so don't
		
01:09:31 --> 01:09:33
			try that at home. Right?
		
01:09:34 --> 01:09:36
			The university studies, you had the university studies,
		
01:09:36 --> 01:09:38
			you had haram studies. I had different things
		
01:09:38 --> 01:09:39
			that I was prioritizing.
		
01:09:40 --> 01:09:42
			I would give it importance but the exams
		
01:09:42 --> 01:09:44
			I would kind of give it a lot
		
01:09:44 --> 01:09:45
			more later on.
		
01:09:46 --> 01:09:48
			So when exam period comes by,
		
01:09:49 --> 01:09:50
			right,
		
01:09:50 --> 01:09:52
			I would give it my everything
		
01:09:53 --> 01:09:55
			and all to revising for the exam because
		
01:09:55 --> 01:09:56
			I needed to get good marks. If you
		
01:09:56 --> 01:09:58
			want to stay longer in Medina,
		
01:09:58 --> 01:10:00
			you need to have high grades and then
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:02
			you need to, you know, pass the master's
		
01:10:02 --> 01:10:03
			exam
		
01:10:05 --> 01:10:08
			and then you get accepted. So exam period,
		
01:10:09 --> 01:10:10
			I stopped learning till Haram.
		
01:10:11 --> 01:10:12
			And normally every day when I go I
		
01:10:12 --> 01:10:14
			would read my Quran to the teacher.
		
01:10:15 --> 01:10:16
			Exam period,
		
01:10:16 --> 01:10:18
			I would just spend my days
		
01:10:19 --> 01:10:21
			and my nights inside of my room
		
01:10:22 --> 01:10:23
			on university campus.
		
01:10:25 --> 01:10:27
			Well my brothers and sisters, within the space
		
01:10:27 --> 01:10:29
			of a week and a half or maybe
		
01:10:29 --> 01:10:30
			it was 2 weeks,
		
01:10:31 --> 01:10:34
			I began to feel so empty.
		
01:10:36 --> 01:10:37
			I'm
		
01:10:38 --> 01:10:39
			like, what's wrong?
		
01:10:40 --> 01:10:41
			What am I doing wrong?
		
01:10:42 --> 01:10:43
			It's like, you know you know what? I'm
		
01:10:43 --> 01:10:44
			gonna go to the Haram today.
		
01:10:46 --> 01:10:47
			Something made me go to the Haram even
		
01:10:47 --> 01:10:49
			though it's exam period. I shouldn't be leaving
		
01:10:49 --> 01:10:51
			my room. I need to make up for
		
01:10:51 --> 01:10:52
			lost time.
		
01:10:53 --> 01:10:54
			Right?
		
01:10:55 --> 01:10:56
			I go
		
01:10:58 --> 01:11:00
			to my teacher. I was like, Sheikh,
		
01:11:01 --> 01:11:02
			I don't feel right.
		
01:11:03 --> 01:11:05
			I feel, SubhanAllah, this type of emptiness.
		
01:11:07 --> 01:11:08
			You know the first thing he said to
		
01:11:08 --> 01:11:09
			me and it was the only thing that
		
01:11:09 --> 01:11:10
			came out of his mouth.
		
01:11:11 --> 01:11:12
			When is the last time you
		
01:11:14 --> 01:11:15
			you
		
01:11:15 --> 01:11:16
			read
		
01:11:16 --> 01:11:19
			Quran? When you have a habit of doing
		
01:11:19 --> 01:11:21
			something that is praiseworthy, right? Like the Quran,
		
01:11:21 --> 01:11:23
			what she used to do on a regular
		
01:11:23 --> 01:11:25
			basis, reading to my teachers.
		
01:11:25 --> 01:11:27
			And then all of a sudden you stop.
		
01:11:28 --> 01:11:29
			Right?
		
01:11:30 --> 01:11:32
			You're going to feel what? A difference. Because
		
01:11:32 --> 01:11:33
			when is the last time you read Quran?
		
01:11:35 --> 01:11:37
			Life felt so bad that day. Please say
		
01:11:37 --> 01:11:37
			that to
		
01:11:38 --> 01:11:40
			me. So between Maghrib and Isha,
		
01:11:41 --> 01:11:42
			I put my phone away,
		
01:11:43 --> 01:11:44
			right,
		
01:11:44 --> 01:11:46
			and I just read Quran, guys.
		
01:11:47 --> 01:11:49
			Nothing else. I just started reading. I wasn't
		
01:11:49 --> 01:11:51
			even memorizing. I was just, like, reading.
		
01:12:00 --> 01:12:01
			Right. We
		
01:12:02 --> 01:12:03
			Right?
		
01:12:03 --> 01:12:04
			We're gonna have to stop
		
01:12:05 --> 01:12:05
			now.
