Quranic Reflections #10 Surat Al-Tawbah 34 – Surat Yunus 33

Alameen wa sallahu wa salam about it cannot be you know have you been putting out the agony now Muhammad Ali he also be he Jemaine.

So, this is the 10th night of Ramadan tomorrow is the 10th day of Ramadan

so once you hit the third house it just it just dominoes dominoes right through it the speed at which Ramadan will come to an end will surprise you. Tonight we we conclude the first third of Ramadan. And as some scholars like to call them and I find it that breakdown has always been amusing to me and helpful. And tonight inshallah Donna will be reciting from the first piece of art we went through maybe a couple of pages with the Toba, we still have a lot of for the Toba ahead of us and we'll we're gonna go to some the middle of SUTA Yunus.

So I summarized for you yesterday, those first 10 Those first eight solos from Bacara to tell them then I talked about what that flow taught us and how Toba is taking teaching us how is explained to the Muslims what types of relationships they'd have to have with different counterparts, either people who are living with them, or people who are living outside of them, this will be repeated again, way at the end of the Quran. When we talk when we go to Bucha data, you end the 28th juicer. But it'll be it'll be revised there and a much more concise and specified manner. And just in the Toba, it's talked about in a lot of depth. So it talks about the machete keen and the caffeine and

then we'll wrap up in and it talks about all the different types of people who are just believers, whether they are fighting or whether they're not whether they are foreign governments, whether they are not whether they are we're not living amongst you or they are not. So it looks at all these different people who are different than then the Muslims are within their country in their nation. So the Toba has to be understood within context, because it is the context of it is that the Muslims have a nation, and they're a majority in that nation. That's the context for Sutopo. If you remove that, then you have to understand it, then you have to add to the Toba that caveat in order for it

to be understood. So it doesn't mean that you can't benefit from the Surah it just means that there's a piece here that has to be taken into consideration when you interpret the verses, that's all and those who don't do that end up becoming extremists, or behaving in ways that are, you know, that contradict what the Quran is actually teaching contradicts completely with the clients actually teaching because they don't understand where the context of having a country where the majority are Muslim. And the rule is with the is through the word of Allah subhanaw taala versus living in a country, the majority are Muslims. And the ruling is not through the word of Allah, or living as a

minority, Muslim, Muslims living as a minority in a country that is completely different. So you can't take these sorts of Toba and project it on all of those situations, all those scenarios equally, in the same way, you know, there has to be some differences, they're gonna be based on the fact that we have these different contexts. And that's a simple, that's like a, that's like a one on one on one Jonnie course thing that your understanding that when you read when you read the Quran, know the context that exists. And that will allow you to draw parallels to context a little bit different and still benefit from this, who doesn't benefit from the teachings that ALLAH SubhanA put

them there, that's why you have a brain and that's why we were supposed to use it or reading the Quran. But rather than take, if you decide, at any point, you take something literally,

and you don't have the exact same situation, the environment and circumstances are not exactly the same that you caused harm.

If you're going to take work, the wording of the Quran literally, which is which is very much acceptable. And you should, in many, in many cases, in many scenarios, but the context of both commands have to be the same. Like you have to be living in the same scenario, the same time, the same circumstances in order for you to follow it literally or else you have to understand the figurative concept behind the command and then follow that. And that's, that's fulfilling Allah subhanaw taala does need orders. And it's following the Sunnah of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, it's the same problem when you're listening to him and he saw him speak, you could understand the

context of what he's talking about. And you decide to practice with no context. And you end up in a very awkward situation time and time again, because you don't understand that there was a context what he was doing. If you understand the context, it gives you the ability to actually follow him out of your salon to them in a meaningful way. The final product may look slightly different, but the purpose of the of the actions will be the same. If you don't do that, you may have the appearance the same, but note that you're not achieving the same purpose he did. He did achieving the objective with his with his teachings and what he chose to do, but you're not because you didn't

notice that there's a really different context here. So he just did exactly what he did, literally, without understanding the context. So you ended up falling short, you didn't actually achieve the objective. That's maybe a little bit too much of a sort of fit for you tonight. But that's that's what I think is important when we when we talk about surah in the Quran, that people have historically misused like SUTA Toba. I remember this something someone told me this maybe seven eight years ago. I won't name him because I don't think he's maybe it's only here in the city. Maybe he's died. I don't know anymore.

But he challenged me. He thought he was being smart. He challenged he said, I dare you. You do all this stuff. See, I dare you to use the Toba. Like, why why? Why do you need to dare me? I'll just I'll just do so the Toba. It's not there's no need to dare it's I can easily explain it was Adobo. You just like context, you think that I can't come across Latino Latina Latino novella, he will be dealing with urquidy where you have remote, I don't have the ability to explain that. It's very easy to explain that you have the context. It's very simple, actually. I just doba is called repentance. It's filled with mercy. It's filled with compassion, but it also has within it, an aspect of it that

is extremely there's very strong and very, very steadfast to be clear.

For good reasons for the win was it revealed to the by value of salsa was revealed to him just after just before you just after a photographer it was with the book, where there was a lot of

betrayals occurring, the Muslims would sign contracts with people with neighboring tribes, and then they would they would break the treaty and murder Muslims. Just murder them, just murder them and then offer them as like to try and make it make up the question before Tamika tried to make it up to Qureshi with doing that. And the point of it is I'm gonna go back and re signing the contract again, and forgive them or had to do paid and you know, he paid himself and because he wanted to keep the peace. But he did that over 27 times 27 times has happened, and where they would betray you time and time again. So the client came and said, That's it no more. Allah subhanaw taala. Luke says, no

more, he refuses for you to resign a treaty with them again, they have four months, either they accept Islam or they leave. That's it, that you can trust them. You can't continue to once when someone breaks trust, clearly and openly enough, you can't you have to have to there has to be a parting parting of ways. You can't just it's lack of wisdom for you to keep on after someone breaks trust time and time again, that you keep on going back and offering them another chance at signing another contract and coming up with another plan. If they look, they did it. That's their that's their norm. That's their norm. So the problem is a lot of them had hope and peace and not I'm not

having to but that's what the verses came and said, Nope. These neighboring tribes and neighboring countries that refuse to honor their contracts and treaties with you give them an ultimatum. And that's the end of it. You call me ultimatum. It wasn't that the the prophet is on lashed out? Immediately. He gets in here for months, make a choice of what you want to do. And you're welcome to accept Islam, you're not one of us. You don't you need to find somewhere else. You can't be neighbouring us. Because every time we we come by you, you kill people.

So once you have that context and versus make perfect sense. And you don't have that context, you either be like what is this Quran telling me to do? So that's important to understand, like when the verses were revealed and what they're talking about the no group of students that we're going to be starting today. And that's what it comes down to. It talks about all that talks about demonizing clean talks about the machine, again, the file it goes into, and it tells us a story that goes with the book. The book is when the Prophet alayhi salatu salam went because of this, because of the teaching of the sunnah to the early teachings of it, he went after the Roman Empire, because it

wasn't just the Yanni, the Romans, it was the Arab who had alliances with the Romans. And they were continuously plotting to try and wipe out in Medina, they had a lamp and the Prophet It is awesome kept on communicating with them that this shouldn't be the case where it was signed contracts and treaties, and they wouldn't do it and they wouldn't listen. So the Prophet alayhi salam went and met them at Tebu, because they were preparing an army say when he met them into book, but they got scared and they all flood, and then they removed themselves and the assassin and de manera, who are in the northern part of Arabia stopped being there, like they they removed themselves because they

couldn't, you know, you couldn't actually stand up against the Prophet alayhi salatu salam forces.

But was it hard was a hard journey because it was 1000 kilometers in August, right, that was 1000 kilometers on foot. For the majority of it in August, when people were very poor. It was a time of poverty. And it was before they actually harvested the dates from the palm trees to sell and make some money. So a lot of people didn't have a lot. It was a very costly endeavor to prepare an army of a couple of 1000 people to go and come back that's a lot. It's a lot of money there was there wasn't a lot of money. Instead notice man put most of the wealth, and so a lot of people weren't able to go just based on the fact they had no wealth. And tell us the story of the Toba of Guidolin

Malik and healer live in Romania Mr. Abdullah via the three that that stayed back with no with no excuse a lot I'm gonna get Nina state back with with no excuse but they lied about it. So they weren't held accountable. They were let go Fine. Do what you want. But these weren't between these three work. And Inshallah, if we're if we're lucky, we'll talk about it and Sheldon these ones. They knew what the second second cluster of says in the Quran from Jonas to arrive. They they cover critical points within the four disciplines of faith. Therefore, this is disciplines of faith, our theology,

the message itself, the values or ethics that govern it, and then the laws, the laws of that faith. These are the four disciplines within any with any so each Surah Yunus who would use a variety talk about one aspect and they

points out within this discipline, a single piece that is critical. If you don't understand it, then the whole system doesn't work. And so if you and this is the one that talks about theology, and it talks about a lot in Kedah, it talks about predestination and the concept of Allah subhanaw taala is decree.

And you'll find the word help and sort of units repeated so many times. It was just righteousness. But it's really not righteousness is useless, because it's not in contracts to falsehood. baltit No, it's in contrast to blood, which is aimlessness so help in this context is not righteousness. It's purposefulness is having aim there being there's a purpose there's a reason for why things are that's what here is, instead of being righteous instead of righteousness, which is what justice is. Now here, we're talking about purposefulness, in contrast or versus just living aimlessly. Is the universe purposeful or is it aimless No, Allah is a creative so there is a there's a purpose for it

and and a part of that is going to be as a lot and his god Subhana wa Tada which is what sort of doing this basically talks about and explains it in different in different different manner so start ending with that we'll go through some of the verses and Charlottetown does anyone have access to you know what you're doing? Okay, good. Yep.

And Ruby Umina shade on your Raji Bismillah your Roschmann your Rafi who led you say you can feel very well

Bobby him there I will law him off me Slean Allah with the mostly Selena with Dean Allah in Jade and I mean, the heat and Hakuna Anamika shot Katie gives an example subhanaw taala and see what the units are. He says What did you say Eurocom feel very well, but he's the one who puts you on your journeys, whether that's on earth or whether it's in the sea on a ship. So he gives the example of if you're an NC high today that couldn't and Phil Phil king, and he gives an example and in this situation where you're on your ship or your boat and you're in the middle of the scene, where Johnny and I became very heavy, but you were very phobia. And we send them nice winds, winds that allow

them to sail in the direction they want to sail in the form that they want to sail and they're happy with that dietary analysis. After that they run into a stormy wind out of re analysis of stormy wind. Well Jah humulene Meldrum in Colima can and they are surrounded by by heavy waves or high waves well then no no homo Hey Bobby him and they feel are they they're coming to the conclusion that they are surrounded mean there's no way out there's no there's no way that they're going to make it now i will Allah McLean saying Allahu Deen ladies and gentlemen Javi and I called and I mean a shocking they speak they call upon Allah subhanaw taala and they say if you if you save us from

this then indeed we will be will be thankful for them Matt and Joe whom you know whom you have a low enough will already be rated healthy. Yeah you Hannah. So in nama welcome Allah and footsy cometa al hieratic dunya Giroux, calm, but on a bigger company, my quantum tam balloon, and then once we save them, they go on earth and they and they start and they go back and become arrogant again, here in a moment there they were in complete humility, complete humbleness. They felt completely helpless. So they turned to Allah subhanaw taala they had nothing left. They were just caught just rattling asking Allah subhanaw taala for some degree of support. And once he offers it to them, they go back

and they're filled with arrogance, and they walk this earth with with oppression. You have a wonderful early, nobody will help so he calls upon them. Some Valentine says yeah, you are not oh people in them I value Kumada and physical. Your oppression will only harm you at the end Madonna and hayati dunya, enjoy what you can of this of this worldly life. And then you will be brought back to us and we will inform you have that what you did this idea here. It points out an extremely common theme within human life. Within human life and thought law and culture. Here's an important piece because this is how we live we live. And a lot of what happens to us we don't control it just

occurs, it occurs and then we have to deal with it. Sometimes the occurrences are really good and sometimes they're not. Sometimes we get something really like and sometimes we don't. And as we kind of go move around within this within life, in that manner, we're moving around and we're receiving from Allah subhanaw taala the world around us all of these different things. We have this common theme where when you're doing well, very far behind you get vain or very phobia. They're vain and they felt that they you know, you start taking credit for good things that are happening to you. You feel easy to

take credit for something that happened to you that was good for an accomplishment or achievement or some somehow something worked out.

And then when it doesn't work out, you feel that helplessness and that weakness, and even those who don't like religiousness, or lack affinity to Allah subhanaw taala, or his teachings, and a moment like that they turned to him jelajah when they ask, and they, and they Grande, and they have full humility, because they're weak. And then once they're given what they wanted, again, they go back to how they were before.

And this is the untrained enough cycle.

This is the novice that is untrained, this is a cycle, when it has what it wants, it comes quite becomes quite vain, it becomes very self centered, it celebrates everything that it has, and feels that it's to be

acknowledged for all the good things. It did it itself. And when he's in a difficult situation, that at the last moment, they'll turn to Allah subhanaw taala and complete 90 in the line, the line, the last hope that they have, and they're, they're weak, and they're broken, and they have nothing left inside of them to turn to Allah. And then Allah, Allah grants them that which was, which they asked for. And once they're granted what they asked for, they go back, back again. They forgot, they forgot what just happened a moment ago, they forgot how weak and in need they were a few minutes ago, and Allah granted them and threw them a lifeline. And now they go back to being vain. And this

is a problem. Because you're going to go through life and cola and Python is going to come your way is going to bring a dish out good is good dish out bad. Your ease and difficulty, that's how it's going to be. Beware of allowing the good that's dished out to you to go to your head and cause you to be vain. And then, if when you're when you're at that low moment you turn to Allah subhanaw taala. Don't forget afterwards, don't be quick to forget, we all do, by the way, Allah subhanaw taala forgive all of us, we all do, we all do at a moment in your life, you do it, you turn to Allah subhanaw taala and you and you just you ask for something, you say your love that said, I want

nothing else, just give me this. And if you give it to me, I'll never ask for anything again. And then you forget, and you go back again, then you know you have things work out for you and you get your life back in. And then you start expecting more again, even though you and if you just go back a year or something, there was a moment where you didn't want anything more than just one thing and he granted it to you. And anyone who's been in those moments knows what I'm talking about. Because it's very hard to control the neffs because it just it just wants more it continues to want more and you say no no remember 10 years ago when you're lying in jail just hoping you'd see your son again.

And he told you and he got you out and you said you'll never never complain again and you complain again and again and again. And again. That lack of loyalty that nefs has has to be has to be put in check kept in check you have to keep it in check. You have to go back and say no, no, no, we just kind of allow yourself to think that way. And this is not being vague this is just lacking maybe sometimes that humbleness This is talking about the worst case scenario where you're vain and then you gravel for something he gives it to you they go back and being vague and again the way you forgot just a second ago you were you were hopeless that we saved you Why don't you keep that

humbleness that you had at that point. Keep it keep that humble is is very helpful if you have the humbleness when you speak to Allah Subhanallah and the way that you see the world around you it's very very helpful it's very powerful. Alright, let's go to the after.

In law hashtag Amina meaning

do you want in G, the

woman behind the hem in a law passed that issue will be

the buyer to be he was when firms will normally end up sort of doba Allah subhanaw taala has this beautiful verse. And it's a reminder to the Muslims, because as I explained to you so to Tibet goes through how Muslims are going to deal with a lot of the threats that exist within their nation and threats that exist outside of their nation. And some of the threats that exist outside of their nation will call it will will require some degree of combat even though there's very specifically

this verse does not only talk about that, it talks about striving in general, but the context of it does have that that idea of combat in it, when it came to the Muslims dealing with their enemies and taboo, for example that they had to go and they didn't want to is he hears that piece that we forget in the sutras that the Muslims didn't want to actually go to war. No one does. No one in their straight month right mind wants to go to war. War is evil wars, horrible. The effects that war has on people is almost never ends. It's everlasting goes on. We are still living. We are still living today, the effects of World War Two still this day, the generation that was born right after World

War Two still exists today. And they're still carrying the trauma of what that caused them and we are still living some of that trauma. And that will not go away until maybe another generation the Generation of the children have

My children, unless Allah and other world war occurs, it will be it will be that long. War ruins mindsets. It ruins attitudes, it's horrible. No one looks forward to it. The Muslims had to be had to be encouraged and push that you need to go. Because if you don't do that, and fitna to Russia do not button. If you go, if you don't go and you don't defend what is right and defend your rights, then then fitna will, then the confusion that that oppression causes will be worse, the effects of it will be worse. So they have to be pushed, go go and fight the people in to book before they come. And they raid Medina and they ruin everything. They didn't want to but they had to. And the last

point I would encourage them. So that idea that Muslims are are bloodthirsty is just it's ludicrous. It is insane. It is not based on understanding the Quran at all. And it's just it's a lack of actually reciting the Quran and they're saying what the Quran is teaching.

But yes, there are verses that encourage the Muslims to go and stand their ground and fight. And there was good reason for it. And it's a reason that no one here or anywhere on earth wouldn't be ashamed of, of course, if you're if your country is being threatened by a foreign force, you have to gather and you have to go and you have to, you have to defend it. And that's what they did. And there was no war uninterrupted, by the way. And so the Toba talks about the Battle of taboo there was no battle, the Muslims arrived that taboo and the other army fought amongst themselves and they just dismembered there was no one there. They stayed there for three nights and they came back, they

just kept for three nights, it was no one there. They had already fought and left and and the kingdoms fell without them actually raising a sword or anyone falling. But the verse in Allah has shut off. This is a contract. This is a contract that you have the ability to accept or not accept. This is something that you will choose in Allah Allah indeed Allah Allah has bought

menial meaning from the believers and Fusa, whom their lives will unwind at home, their possession, what they own, and, and why the home is not just your wealth, it's everything that you have is everything that you have warmer look, when it comes from Allah as it is, if you see it as a blessing as an AMA and once it's with you as smell, right, those three words are important to understand. If it's on his way from Allah to you, as soon as if you see it as a blessing. It's called an atma. And if you have it, it's with use called Mal. Whatever it is, whether it's your whatever it whatever is that you possess, whatever you possess, that that that's not you is my look, whatever is yours. It

could be wealth, it could be status, it could be degrees, whatever it is, it's mine. So Allah subhanaw taala has bought from the believers, they're set themselves, their lives and their possessions. Be and none of them will agenda and in return for that they get Jana, and referring to her that Allah subhanaw taala grant you paradise, that's it. It's very, to make this very simple to make this whole journey of equation very simple. All of Islam to break break it down to something that's not complicated is what it is. Allah subhanaw taala has bought, he is offering a contract. Now are you willing yourself in your wealth, and I give you agenda for it. Whatever that means.

Whenever that turns into into your life, you have to strive, you have to give me your All whatever that is, depending on your context and where you are, for this idea where they weren't you caught the UniFi sebelah they had to go in there to fight for your

hotel room, some of them will will prevail and some of them will will be martyred.

Why then I lay he happen with talathi Well in G Well, Quran this is a promise that is righteous, that is truthful. And you'll find it in the Torah, the book of Moses and the engineer the book of ACE and the Quran, the book of Muhammad Ali has brought to us from all three books explain the same thing.

Your enough send your mind

give up your life for the sake of Allah He gives you agenda and return. You dedicate your time we did to get your wealth you dedicate yourself to serving him Subhana wa Tada sometimes that will be interested in sometimes the field will be knowledge sometimes the field will be advocacy, sometimes it will be outreach, sometimes the field will be will be financed, sometimes the field will be combat. It's very rare. Historically, what are the percentage of Muslims who actually had to give up their license fee sebelah and combat less than 1% less than 1% historically that's a very small to very specific thing. Why is it talked about in the Quran because it's the most difficult of all

things because all fun and games until your life is on the

on the line

you can just say whatever you want because we're nice and cozy and warm and safe. But when your life is on the line that changes things it exposes the the honesty and the sincerity and the truthfulness of someone's belief that's why it's talked about in the Quran not because we like it or we enjoy it. Now the the Muslims in the Quran are people requiring you to push them for this because no one wants to do this. It's not something that you hope for. But it does prove to the degree of your dedication and your commitment which is what this idea is explaining.

Well man oh five yeah I had to him and Allah and who will be more truthful and then fulfilling his side of the contract and Allah for establish it will be by Ecomondo the via Tombi. We look forward in a positive way towards the transaction that you have just you

encountered, or you just Gandhi embraced

you. So you gave up your life and your wealth and Allah gives you this is a great deal. This is the best deal ever. Well, there are Lika, who will always win all the time. And that, indeed is the greatest of victories. Because what better deal is there, you'll give up something that wasn't yours to begin with, that you give up something that wasn't yours to begin with is not that long is not permanent, to get something that is way more valuable and permanent, that is not equal in value, or even close.

If I if you give me a deal on your car, I'm still gonna give you a little bit enough money to make make the deal worth your while, like the amount of money is going to be somewhat in the ballpark of what the car is worth. But there's nothing that you offer that is in the ballpark of what Jana is worth nothing. So this is an amazing deal. And he already bought some hunting with Donna, he signed the contract he says it's up to you now if you want to sign your piece or not, you sign off your life in which yourself and what you owe and for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala you don't. And then whatever that takes you, you go in whatever direction that takes you you go with it. And you offer

what you have, wherever you are, and that will be different from one person to the other. And it will it will present itself in different forms depending on how your life is. Physicians will do that in a way that lawyers will do differently that engineers will do differently to teachers differently. Workers if everyone do it differently, but it's still the same concept and applies to everyone. Go to the doctor inshallah

with mean am worthy hems border part to your homework rizek Key him b was only

in Nevada, a second in their home, while law who sent me originally was commanded Salah on your side of yourself and meanwhile him take from their wealth, solder cotton charity. And I explained many times before why you saw the convenience charity even though the root of the word is such which is honesty. It's a testament of honesty. That's what yeah, that's what it always described. It's like you're honest about your faith. Yeah, well prove it. So you put your money. And that's a testament of your honesty. Because it's see it again, it's just talk until you have a guy had to pull out his wallet and put as well that he worked hard to get. So it's called sadaqa. Because it's a testament

of your honesty proves that you actually take this seriously, you're willing to put your wealth towards it. So and then it became the the common usage of the word like we forgot that that was the root and the and the literal usage of sadaqa became charity, even though that's not what it meant was when the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam was saying, whatever sumo coffee, what do you think I saw that? When you smile on someone's face, so sadaqa when you say it's a charity,

it kind of devalues it and kind of seems weird now. I mean, charity, no, you're not. It's not charity. It's a testament of your honesty, and your truthfulness towards this faith. You are proving that you're a good Muslim by smiling because sometimes it's hard to do so but you're doing it because Allah subhanaw taala told you to do social you're doing it. That's why so it's a it's a testament to the honesty, the truthfulness you have towards the faith. It's not it's not an act of charity, or not.

Not being charitable by giving you my smile. No, this is a testimony of my of my of my adherence to this faith. So even when I'm tired, and I'm fed up, I still smile at you. Because Because I owe it to Allah Subhan to do so. And that's how I prove to him that I take this seriously. All right, so who's me I'm where I am take from there. Well, Sadat gotten an act of charity here it actually means that superhero whom what was the key him behind

to the hero whom what was a key him behind, through which you will purify their wealth and purify their souls. So the hero whom what was the key him via, there's two purification, you'll purify them, which is the first one to the hero whom you'll purify? There are so there Mel from haram, you'll remove from their wealth, anything that does not, here's the thing, you have to make sure that in your wealth, there is no piece of money sitting around that have someone else's name on it, and you're holding on to it. That's the problem. Like you have to go back and see what's yours. And you make sure that none thing that you have right now in your hand, someone else, it belongs to

someone else, you're just holding on to it when it's not yours. And it because the longer you do that, the more difficult it is for you to get to get to get over this legal myopia. And you have to It's a mystery, but it's a big mess. If you are carrying with yourself money that is not yours.

Is someone else's, right? Because that money is not yours to begin with. It's Allah subhanaw taala he gave it to you. And he told me within that wealth, there will be a certain amount that's not yours. It's owed to others. You have to take it you have to give it to others, whether it's a car, whether it's the wealth that you owe, you owe your family, your wife and your children or your parents, or people who are in need around you. So DACA is recommended. But if people are starving, it's not recommended anymore. It's obligatory. Aside from Zika.

When people are starving is no longer a recommendation. It's no longer it's a sudden no no. It becomes unfurled until the people who are starving aren't starving anymore, and then you can go back to for it to be recommend

Did again. But if people are starving around you, then it's not. It's not it's obligatory it changes it transforms the Prophet alayhi salam explains us in merliah how consumers see was, there is there is a right in within your wealth aside from Zika that will present itself as time goes along. It's not just

so the Prophet alayhi salatu salam is told by Allah subhanaw taala take from their wealth sadaqa an active charity to the hero whom what is the key him behind through the active charity, you will purify their wealth from haram and you will purify their their hearts and their news and their souls. Well, sadly, I lay him and grant them the blessings of your prayers and draw out for them in masala Attica, second will love them, indeed, your prayers for them will calm them down, we'll give them that calmness, because it's hard to put your wealth, it's hard to put your wealth when you need it.

You know, it's not easy.

This is the actual expectation, by the way, the expectation is that you give your wealth when you need it, not for your basic needs. But in general, meaning you're you're covering your food, and your your shelter and your clothing. And you want this might you need it because you need to do this in your housing to renovate this or fix your car or do something with it. And you still give from that. That's the expectation within Islam, the concept of Oh, give only that which is extra, that is a given, of course, you're going to give what's extra, of course, you're going to give away what's extra, as much as you can from it. But the expectation, aside from that, which is a given is that

you give from wells that you actually to a certain degree wish you could hold on to and you give anyways. Now that's the expectation Islamically

the Sahaba would come in, they would bring everything they had and the Prophet Allah, your Sultan will have to send them back and say no, take take take half of it. Don't don't bring everything you have. And some of the Sahaba would refuse that would leave it and walk away. Hola. Hola. Hola. So under provider, I'll figure something out. I'll make I'll make money tomorrow.

I am not I don't say these things with the intention of people bankrupting themselves, and putting themselves in a position where they can't take care of themselves. When I say these things, I'm not trying to send the pendulum swinging right to the other extreme, but we are sitting on the on the opposite extreme that I have a problem with. We're sitting over here, where people are very stingy with their wealth. They're holding on to it. They don't, there's people don't give anymore. And I remember coming here 10 years ago, it was a different it was different situation altogether. I don't know exactly what changed. I have ideas, but I don't know exactly what changed. And people don't

give anymore. And they hold on to their wealth. And they're not. They're not willing to invest in their communities. They're not unwilling to invest in their societies and their centers and their institutions in the in the institutions that actually advocate for them or help them or stand by them. And especially now when we look when we look at what happened over the last six months, we know for sure that without proper without proper organizations to advocate for us within the right realms, like for example NCCAM or without the proper structures to make sure that we support our vulnerable like MRC, without them we will fail as a community and yet they can't put enough money

together to actually pay staff appropriately. So there's a lot there's a there's a problem here the Prophet alayhi salam was told because the minimum let him take from their wealth charity through that charity they owe you they owe you because you are a purifying their wealth with it and you are purifying their hearts with it and they you are in your granting them your salah upon them some Allah who I used to be his main so when you grant give your wealth you give your wealth with the concept and understanding that this is you know, thank you for taking it out I'm thank you for the opportunity to give something so that's that so this may purify my wealth from any left over haram

and purify my heart from any stinginess or holding on or selfishness towards dunya. And it grinds me the Sunnah of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam upon me, which will grant me communist. So who is who who is who was in debt here,

who was owed here, your your your take taking, you're giving a little sock and you're getting Bahara and Zika and Salah from the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, that will grant you second we got you to again, I need tranquility and calmness. Allah gives me an ally when you feel and you feel that you owe that you're owed something No, no, we have to change the way we look at our wills. And again, I don't want this

because I'm ambitious to think that it'll swing this pendulum to the opposite side. It won't, but maybe maybe someone hit me hears this and goes, goes a little bit too extreme. I'm not talking about them. I'm not talking about putting yourself in a position where you can't take care of yourself or your children, or now you're in debt. And you know, I'm talking about when you know what you have, and you know what you can spare and you know where that is needed. And you can see the requirements and you just slightly sleep on it. And you sleep on it.

means Be careful with that. Because you don't know you don't know your milk damage. When you when that wealth is brought back in his run. Whether that was in it, there were rights for other people that you should have you totally owed owed it to them or owed it to others auditing the next generation of yourself and you didn't put it forward and now you're dealing with mana haram

Hello I missed the worst thing to deal with your meal pm after a murder after blood after having blood on your hand the worst thing after that is having mine haram in your hands because it's impossible to get it how do you how do you get rid of it? You can't get rid of it. You had to pay with an earth and say yes, you pay with that that's the currency you're welcome to be very careful. The Prophet Allah Islam was told take them from their wealth and purify them, purify them and grant them your Salah and it will grant them calmness and it'll work in their in their advantage

RubyMine can we accede to Allah subhanaw taala says at the beginning of sorts, Jonas, I got in the sort of talks about cobalt and Qatar as a critical point within our theology that if you don't understand, your theology will not stand like your belief in Allah subhanaw taala will be be fractured, it will be fractured, it will be it'll be flawed and you will not be able to actually carry it in your life. And at the beginning of the story is in the leadin Allah Jana junaluska Anandi the ones who do not hope to meet us mean they are not they don't have certainty in the fact that they will meet Allah subhanho wa Taala what adorable hieratic dunya and

they're fully satisfied. They're fully satisfied with this worldly life that they're living. Welcome on your behalf. And they have put themselves in a state of calmness and dependence upon it. I mean, this is it. This is all we got. We don't really we're not hoping to meet him. We don't think we will meet him. We don't have any reason to believe that we will. And this is our life. We're happy with it. We built it.

When Solomon if not dimeric did his,

his hedge

one of the years before he died, so no long story that within this Hutch that he did long story documented in the books of God, it's like, every day when you're not even cathedra. And you find it also in the study to give you an article yesterday, and

he became very nostalgic or very spiritual within the Hajj. And he called upon

the people of Makkah, and he said is amongst you, is anyone left? Who met the Sahaba of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam.

Is there anyone left here that has met any of the Sahaba Bacala Nam, Abu Hasan, a tabby by the new urbanism?

And he was an elderly gentleman. So they called him they said he wants to meet you. And he said, If he wants to meet me is where I live, you can come and meet me. I'm not going to him. It was one of the time that he was an older Indian. So the Khalifa went to him, he went to him. And there was a long conversation. It's a beautiful, long conversation. We can tell the story in a different setting, which was a long conversation. But the first thing he asked him in tears, he sat with him and he was very glad he touched that that he was sitting with someone who had been educated by Abdullah having a blast and I'm loving Miss Odin is the people someone who saw the Sahaba or the

Allah who I know Musa Musa who saw the Prophet alayhi salatu salam so, so we asked him and he said yeah, but has him

later Sherry Maulana hipbelt Hayato we're not gonna hold mode. Although headbutt duniya we're not gonna hold ACULA depending on what you said, tell me why is it that we love life so much? And we hate thinking about Arcana we hate we hate the hereafter. For Fada. I'm out of tune with duniya Wahab to FIRA for carry tomb and 1030 luminol Imran Ito Kolob, you built your dunya nicely, and you put nothing in your Akela it's a wreck. Everyone would hate to move from a beautiful building to a wreck. No one wants to go from a situation where they when everything is nicely set up to to a wreck where there's nothing there. If you build your alcohol, you will be looking forward to it in the

Lydian Hola, yo junaluska And they don't have know that they don't care they're not looking forward to. Are you looking forward to you look forward to what Allah subhanaw taala has promised you? Or do you? Has it put in what he has hoped was holding on for you? Or do you not think about that? Or is the focus just now? How much can I build? How much can I have? How high can I get? How far can I go?

If that's if that's the focus then now it's a problem. Well, Latina woman is Tina vaquita and the ones who are just in a state of indifference regarding what Allah does teaching hula well who will not be Monica in New York soon, those ones will find nothing but the Hellfire based on what they took. Beware, be careful of that. Be careful being a state where all you see is just this life and you just throw in throw pennies stuff. But the investment is now no no, no, the investment is there. You know the property is solid was the Hadith and I'm telling you this is my favorite all time favorite Hadith. I think I don't think we have enough time. I'll just I'll just wrap up with this

one. We're not doing very well this year with getting more than four verses.

I have to learn to stop talking online and we break this down a little bit. And the Hadith. The authentic hadith is telling me where they were

Prophet alayhi salatu salam brought a cup she brought Jani haruf A sheep and he slaughtered the sheep. And he sat down and he started to break it up, he started to cut it all up and he would give it a shot and say take this and give it to Al Fulani and take this and give it to our neighbor for that and take this and this might be used and give it to the Friends of Khadija and take this one and give it to our call hang take this and send it to the sofa. So he sent it so she's doing all of it and she's getting quite upset Yanni She's not saying anything because she was too respectful but she was not very happy with what the prophet Allah you sought to say I was doing they hadn't seen

meat for a while and he's just sending all of the good pieces to different people. And and once he was done he said yeah, I'm about to minha what's left for toilet the habit kalua

we're about to catch if it's all gone all you have left is the shoulder of God awesome hola hottie audio audio source it was at Columbia selling a luxury Klein Bell back yet called Lua where the habilitative know all of it is stayed and all that's going to be gone is the shoulder of it.

But stayed from this what we got is what we sent other people to eat that we will find waiting for us human to moments were done was gone and we'll never see back again is what we're going to eat right now. We eat it it goes through our digestion it comes out the other that's done you're not gonna go find it your milk is gone. You consumed it is gone. What's left of it is the whole thing but lucky at kulula The whole thing is left it's just the catch if that's going to be gone unfortunately.

As if he is saying to her ally his thought was that it was up to me. I would make sure the whole thing was waiting for me Yeoman pm I would have made sure about the school the whole thing was waiting for me but I know you won't be happy with that so I left the cutter for you. But if it was up to me it would all be waiting for me to milk them and that's how we live this life it just saw to Islam we can't have that degree of asceticism we can't it's too much but at least maybe we think a little bit about that concept about that about about investing in it and what that means because I think I think that's the most worthy thing that we can have and Ramadan is the best time to do it.

So popular your 100 shall not you know learn to stop what Allah was telling him about a
