00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			And the theme of dawah or performing dawah
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			or outreach is what we're going to be
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			covering over
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			the course of this month with the intention
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			InshaAllah of encouraging everyone to bring people to
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			Masajid and to encourage them to come to
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			the houses of Allah
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			to find
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			their their spots there and to feel welcome
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			there and to be a part of this
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			community so that we can, inshaAllah ta'ala, do
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			something for ourselves and the next generation and
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			is worthy
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			of doing. And
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			this is the only way to do it,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			bring Muslims back to
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			the centers of their communities, which are the
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			masajid. The masajid have always been that. So
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			what the prophet says here in a very
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			short hadith, very simple. You've heard it before.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			It's very beautiful. It gives you something to
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			kind of think about.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			The person who points others towards something of
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			any aspect of khayr, any aspect of goodness,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			any someone who is just If you're just
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			standing there just
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			pointing people. That's really what the 'id is
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:01
			saying.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			Is just to point someone somewhere. That's it.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			Like you're not really doing much, like it's
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			not like you're, you know, spending hours educating
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			or carrying someone or pulling them. You're just
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			kinda standing there just waving along. It's like
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			a
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			police officer at a at a at a
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			at a at a light. You're just pointing
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			people to go in the center. Mandala'al khairi
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			is a person who just points others towards
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			where khair is.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			Gets the same as the person who goes
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			and does it.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			Now if that somehow affected the of the
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			person doing it, it'll be a big rip
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			off. But But it doesn't. The person who
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			does it doesn't even know about this and
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			they're getting their full hasanat with no the
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			packages they're receiving their full packages. Right? It's
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			just the person who pointed them in the
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			direction is also getting a copy paste of
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			that.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			They're getting the same thing even though all
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			they did was you just just point. And
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			you're looking for khae, well, go try that
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Masjid. I'll go speak to that person. Maybe
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			consider enrolling into this program.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			There's a halakah that happens at that time.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			And then they go and they benefit and
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			they learn and they grow and they teach
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			and they and you you're just and you're
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			just banking Hazrat just because you pointed.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			The prophet alaihis salam says these things alaihis
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			salam these things to encourage you to, you
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			know, kind of break out of your shell
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			a bit and do stuff like that. Like
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			if you're not doing full dawah, at least
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			point people towards khair. At least be carry
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			a sign,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			an arrow towards a masjid or something. Just
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			just yeah. Something
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			point people in some direction of doing something
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			good in their lives and there's doing
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			that. There's a lot of doing that. Allah
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			is teaching us time and time in any
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			form of influence that you offer someone towards
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			being a better person or benefiting them in
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			any form of manner. You get a lot
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			of doing that? So it's very weird for
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			a Muslim not to want to, you know,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			benefit from that. We we suffer with with
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			getting hasanat. We suffer with doing good deeds
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			that are worthy
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			of of allowing us to to make it
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			across the finish line finishing line finish line
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			of the day of judgement. And here's a
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			simple way. Here's a cheat code. Just just
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			be someone who points others towards Khayr and
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			there's a lot of lot of reward in
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			doing that. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala use
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			us for that inshallah.
