00:00:00 --> 00:00:06
			The weekend Halaqaat will be about Ramadan one way or the other and we will publish inshallah like a
full
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:38
			Ramadan, pre Ramadan and Ramadan schedule with everything that they'll be running in terms of what
the hotbeds will be about what the Halaqaat on the weekends will be about some of them in Arabic,
most of them in English, obviously, Fridays Arabic and everything else in English. And then the
actual Ramadan plan, like what will be running after 500 On weekdays on weekends, the PA shadows,
literally all of that and shall be published, there'll be some, they'll actually be some programs
after also for kids to recite Quran and come in and prepare them to read. We may have a competition
in sha Allah for children, especially those who are a part of the Quran program. So we have a bunch
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			of stuff Inshallah, we'll roll them out, hopefully, hopefully by mid next week. So just keep your
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:11
			keep your eyes open ears open for that. We'll run this halacha today insha, Allah, Allah and then
next week, there'll be we'll be starting, we'll be talking about Ramadan, the week after those two
weeks and the week after that. Ramadan is either Sunday or Monday. So Saturday night, most likely
will be totally Yeah. And if it's not, I'll just continue I'll consider it a night off for myself.
So and you can do the same thing. We just won't we don't run anything that night, specifically, as a
kind of as a preparation for Ramadan. But most likely,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			three Saturdays from today we'll be praying thoroughly, which is
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			just Subhanallah How time
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:53
			flies. And another thing before I started shall is that tomorrow at five, five o'clock, is it five
or 530? is fine, right? It's five o'clock we'll have we have our town hall. Town Hall as in it's our
second year anniversary, we opened in February 18 on February 10 2022. And if I write the
introduction, the first two years for us. So we'll be talking about what what we've done so far,
what we're hoping we're where we are hoping to go, please attend and share your feedback and hear us
out and kind of you know, participate with us and contribute. We love to have people here to hear
what they have to say, okay, so,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:06
			so far, we were in the midst of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam is early years of Gaza. We're
still prior to pre year seven, we haven't actually started talking about year seven yet.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:13
			They were probably not gonna do that today. These early years of birth that after the third year of
his of his prophecy, it install to a sudden
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:22
			they are called by the scholars of Sierra the years of persecution or or oppression, singing
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:56
			volume when they were being when they were being severely mistreated by by the people in Croatia.
And by now that the mistreatment continued obviously until the end of his life on his side or
somebody came in different forms later. Later on. It was he had a had a country and it was more acts
of treason that was occurring. But at this point, he didn't have the right idea. So it was time to
speak openly about Islam. People didn't have the right to accept Islam publicly. So they were being
persecuted in terms of their feet of freedom of religion and freedom of expression. And that is
really what the Prophet alayhi salatu salam was discussing with him or arguing with them or debating
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:09
			with them. Just so you understand this clearly for yourself. So to know what the whole struggle was
about the struggle during these years in Mexico, as far as the Prophet alayhi salatu salam was
concerned, was one word it was Hello benei or vainness.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:28
			Allow me to speak to people Hello, by any means stop putting obstacles between my ability to speak
to people and their ability to hear me. That's all I'm asking for. Let me explain what it is that I
have. And if people accept it great, and they don't accept it, I leave, I just want the chance to
talk about it. That was what he was fighting for.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:48
			Never ever throughout the history of of his life out of his thoughts with duration of his life, or
the history of Islam. Was there any interest in people being forced to be Muslim ever, never has not
been an interest of Muslims to force other people to accept Islam? It's actually insane. When you
force someone to be Muslim, what do they become?
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:27
			They become one off. By definition, they don't want to do it. And they're doing it because they have
no choice. So you just created an app, the worst thing that for us as an omen is whenever you're
clean, we want as as little of them as few of them as possible, as fully fewers them as possible. If
you're not in this with us, just let us know. And step aside because it's really hard to deal with
with those who are on paper with you, but then in essence are not meaning they're just the extra
weight that you're carrying around as a nation, within your community. They're not helping and
they're making it more difficult to actually function. So there was never ever interest in forcing
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:45
			people to accept Islam ever. What he wanted out of his salatu salam Mecca was his right to speak,
and the people's right to listen and then make their decision. So his, his the one phrase that he
kept on repeating with the people of Mecca was Hello benei aubenas Let me speak to people, and they
refused,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:59
			because they knew that his idea was way stronger than theirs, that what he had to offer was superior
in every in every way. In every way what he was bringing out of his thought there was some was just
more proof
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			only meaningful. So if they allowed him to speak openly Alehissalaam, to assume they're going to
lose really quickly, very quickly people will accept this done. The only reason that it's not didn't
spread in Mecca early on quickly was that the leaders of 40s, and nobles have kurush, either through
threatening people coercion, or through their status through the weight of their status that they
throw around, force people or encourage people or push people not to accept Islam. That's the only
reason that Islam did not spread in Mecca early on. Because once he went to Medina, and he saw
somebody yesterday, it was quick, the number of Muslims that, you know, the number of people tempted
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:15
			to stem was skyrocketed within a couple of years. And then when Davia happened it, the graph becomes
ridiculous. Within two years, it went from a couple of 1000 to 10s of 1000s of people. Because once
people had the opportunity to actually hear what he had to say on his select with him, he brought
reform reform that was positive, a change of the status quo at the time that they needed that they
looked forward to, no one was happy, aside from the extremely wealthy, aside from those who owned a
lot of slaves, and had a lot of land, and were noble, that kind of certain nobility, which is
status. No one, no one was happy, everyone, they certainly like security. They like the political
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:43
			structure. They liked rights. They liked education, the electro resources, they liked any form of
organization, so people were not happy. And their belief system was not a belief system that allowed
them to live. Well, right. The reason we call displays wellness, I actually named it in Arabic, not
in English, the name in Arabic is last year. That's the concept that I think is is very central to
Islam, the concept of Alfia, Islam brings you Alfia,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:07:18
			which is obviously will translate as health, but it's not really hope it's helped when you talk
about his health when we say physical, but it's it's social health, its financial health, spiritual
health. That's what it is. That's what Islam offers us. So it's, it's translated into wellness,
which is why we called it wellness later, but it's if you're the provider, you saw some broader
system that granted people have here, they didn't have peace. What's the point, if you have a lot of
money, and you have a lot of power, but you don't have peace, you have love, you don't have
tranquility and serenity, you're not purpose, you have meaning you don't have purpose, you don't
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			have a meaningful,
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:50
			you don't have meaningful relationships you'd have you don't have good meaning for your life, you
don't know why it is that you're around, and you feel isolated, feel alone. And and, and you use all
of the wealth and all the strength and all the status and all the that you have, and you still feel
there's an emptiness on the inside, what's the point, that emptiness will continue to follow you.
Some people think that if they, if they travel a lot, or they do, they don't know that emptiness
goes with you, wherever you go, it just goes with you. You never you just distract yourself from it
for a while you distract yourself from it for a couple of maybe nights or a couple of weeks even
		
00:07:50 --> 00:08:07
			because you're doing a lot of fun stuff. But then when it all goes away, and you sit down, you're
left with that emptiness again. And it eats away at you. And the older you get, the more the more it
hurts, the more hungry it becomes the Prophet Allah yourself has offered them something that, that
change that for them. Which is exactly what it's supposed to do for us.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:41
			Which is why he's telling studying his story, in my opinion is is important. Because if you study it
well, and you listen to it, not just with your ears, but with your heart, you'll find you'll find
the pieces that will allow you to be well to live well. And living well is a word that does not
define necessarily on how much money you have, or how many people you you know, or how many people
adore you, or how much status you have, how much power you have, how much control you have is
defined by different things, to different to different equation altogether. And it's just it's just
very beautiful to be able to live that way. And the examples that we have within our Dean are just
		
00:08:42 --> 00:09:06
			very, very profound when it comes to this topic specifically. Now Tom is one of my favorite parts of
studying his see a lot of us thought to us and I put I put a lot of time my early years looking into
it, trying to find trying to find narrations that that originates from the outcome and the very few
and they're very scattered and it's hard to authenticate them because they just like they just like
aspects of authenticity.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:21
			But I always wanted to imagine in my mind what was what was like to be there in those early years
with him out of his love to us. And I'm just imagine sitting in a room with a concentrated
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:58
			series of lessons that is being distributed and given to Ovako right and Hamza and Earthman and Omar
and Elena Zubaydah and Valhalla and faulty orbital kabob. And, and honey Ben and his daughter is on
a hill Salatu was Salam and you're talking about names that later on became the big names of what
Islam is today. They sat there and the elicit and they learn from him. Allah has salatu salam. And
it's those people who sat in that room than that home and listen, are the ones who who stood by him
that day, but the ones who were there with him when everyone ran away on odd. They're the ones who
stood by him and they've been the same names that continued to carry his legacy after he died early.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			His slaughter was 30 years after
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:38
			same names. So sad. class was there in that room. He was there in Belgium, he was there. And he
stood there in the name. And he led the army that conquered Persia years later, these names were
there for the whole story. Right? And it just it and you follow these names you follow? Who was
there, you find, yeah, this was a big investment was a huge investment that he put in his salatu
salam, he was happy to do it. And it was meaningful, these people walked out of their understanding
what their lives were about. It didn't turn into an exclusive, you know, VIP club, this small
gathering that he had at least ratusan, that outcome did not become this exclusive, elitist club
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:10
			that only certain people were in no, these individuals went out and brought more people in, these
individuals went and welcomed everyone to Islam. They didn't they didn't lock it down, which is the
problem in most of most of these approaches, you run small groups, and you teach them very well. And
they just they just lock up the lock up upon upon themselves. And they're happy as a small group,
because because it's easy to become very comfortable. A small group know the people who learn from
him, I used to talk to someone who went later on and spread Islam to the world. And and made sure
everyone felt that they were a part of this Deen. And it's just a very beautiful thing to think
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:24
			about. These sorrows that I'm showing you are some of the songs that were revealed to him out, he
saw some during this period, now I think is worth your time to kind of just listen to them, and
understand, maybe try to listen to them the way the Sahaba heard them. Try to hear them, because
you've memorized sort of
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:58
			our own and you know them, but think hear them the way the Sahaba heard them for the first time when
they're sitting in data. And this was being revealed to him out of his slot towards me, and he's
listening to it. And we talked about students slide last time, the first time they heard the word
Khalifa, which is the caregiver, that first the first time they heard that word, that concept that
you're a caregiver, example of dough would later on that concept will become much more strongly
solidified in our Dean, who was the first time they were exposed to it. So it's also that concept of
togetherness, of mentorship, of making sure that we don't waste time that we benefit from from one
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:25
			another that it's a, it's a back and forth. As we speak, we also listen, even if someone's in my
position sitting here, I have to if I'm not listening to I'm not doing my job, I have to listen, I
have to make sure that I'm hearing out their people and what their struggles are, what their what
they're finding difficult, so I can do something for them. And then they have to listen to me as
well. So it's a back and forth, we all have to do to ourselves that concept. And so it will also
switch from our own. It took them our own dictated or you've explained define what it meant to be a
good person.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:36
			The word good, good person is a word that is used almost everywhere, right? What what defines a good
person, every group can define whatever they want.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:43
			Some people do that, well, I don't do this, but at least I'm a good person. So I always like to take
this stop sign, stop.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			Who told you, you were a good person?
		
00:12:48 --> 00:13:09
			Not that just why no, like, you have a certificate from the United Nations, like who gave you Who
gave you the designation that you're a good person? Not to say that you're not I'm just wondering
who gave it to you, because that's a big claim. That's a pretty impressive claim. I'm a good person.
I think that's the most beautiful claim you can make. If it's true, I would love it. If Allah told
me, You're a good person, oh my gosh,
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:19
			I'll throw this year over to abdominally. If you can take I've got I've been certified and good
person, I'm good for the rest of my life. Who defines a good person.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:49
			If you define it yourself, then you must be involved on the Day of Judgment in terms of reward and
punishment. Because the reward and punishment are to a certain degree going to be distributed based
on good and bad, good people will be rewarded and bad people will be punished. So have you figured
out your own definition for it? Or does Allah define it? So Allah defines it? He defines what's
good. And what's bad. We don't I don't get to do that. That's too arrogant of me to define what's
good myself. And then claim it that's even a bigger problem and claim it for myself. Yeah.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			You're a good person, Michelle. Like isn't that cute?
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:06
			No, it was that easy. So he said our HR lady you can see will be Dean for that he can let the other
earlier team i will i A hug boo alotta, I'm in Miskin, you see the person who refuses religion,
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:45
			the one who mistreats the orphan and does not encourage feeding of the needy. Now not everyone who
refuses religion does that. But this is how he's defining it supine on what to hide. When he is
saying those who are religious, and those who are not to him on it. subhanaw taala. Those who are
not religious are the ones who refuse his teachings, meaning he brings them the guidance he gives
them. Here's how life should be lived. Here's what you need to believe in. And here's how you live
your life. And then they are people who go out they refuse that and then they mistreat the orphan
and they don't encourage others to feed the needy. So they're not doing they're they're mistreating
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:59
			and they're not active actively trying to help others or they're holding back to either for way you
know little Musa limb I mean, it's almost as a surah almost puts you in it like this. It was almost
like a slap in the face. It really is because the way it's going
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:27
			As you know, if you're listening to it, you say, oh, so he's pointing out those who are not
religious and their problems. And then he immediately says, wait, wait is Warren have severe
punishment that's what it means. And if you're a person you've heard this from your parents all your
life waiting for wailing, mousseline Warren have severe punishment the people who pray you almost
like God, although the people praying this is not how this sort of seems to be going but no, he it
is done on purpose. Alladhina
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:58
			whom Alan Salah T himself who Alladhina? Whom Juran the ones who don't respect the timing of their
prayers, meaning they ignore it, they get distracted, they don't do it on time, they don't care,
like, well, how does Doug on whatever if I missed it, no big deal. I know we've got professional it
doesn't matter. Like it is not bothered by that. The religious, most certainly there are people who
pray in general, but they don't care. They're the you know, on your own, the ones who do it for the
wrong reason. They're hoping for some degree of recognition of others or a reputation that there's
some
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			well known LML.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:39
			So two problems, two problems that religious people that he's talking about here, subpoena with
time, two problems. Number one, when it comes to their adherence to the deen, it's weak. It's a weak
adherence, and followship of the teachings of Allah subhanaw taala in terms of the rituals, so they
don't really do it very well. And if that's when the surah ended, it would be much easier for all of
us. But unfortunately, the surah is named after that last word, so we can't really get away get away
with not talking about it. Because up to hear that it's easy for religious people is no problem.
Just make sure you pray on time. And don't don't don't be too much of an ostentatious person. Don't
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:55
			Don't show off too much. You'll be alright. Why I'm not only my own, and they withhold aid in my
own. It comes from my own, I want is help my own is aid. You I'm not only withhold aid, we have now
another mountain for way, you know little mousseline, Warren, the prayer the people who pray,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:02
			have severe punishment, the ones who don't respect the timing and don't do it for the right reason
or their intentions and they withhold aid.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:33
			The only way you can define a good person, you need two things. And this is not to judge other
people. When I talked about being at the person this is for you to judge yourself, not for you to
judge others. You need to adhere to Allah subhanaw taala is rituals. You can't be you because the
deen you can't be Ancelotti himself who are your own. But you also can't be an earlier team. Or law
you have to allow time and miskeen or you have no own in my own. You can't. Okay, both are
problematic. But
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:45
			if you're missing one of them is a problem. Make sure if he was to say there are people on the Day
of Judgment, if you're suffering your multi hammer, there are two two people who get zero marks on
the Day of Judgment.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:18:02
			There are those who don't accept God altogether. That's we all agree to that. That's fine. You come
to God you don't believe in him altogether. You never do anything for him. You can expect anything
from him like you've never acknowledged Allah subhanaw taala ever, most likely that's not going to
work out and then those who did but we have known that among
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:16
			those who didn't have the ethics didn't have the didn't have the morals didn't have the didn't treat
people well. Those who never didn't care about people who were suffering didn't care about those who
were more needy needy or than they were those who were less fortunate than they are.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			This is the story you tell your kids night you read through this with my own you explain to them
what it means to be a good person.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			Oh, I've never heard anyone at least I'm a good person never hurt anyone.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			He never did. He didn't define it that way. Subhanallah
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			I don't think that's enough.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:52
			I don't think that's enough. I never heard anyone you mean directly right now we're actually hurting
under your shirt. It's not enough. No, sorry. Sorry. It's not enough. It's way more than that. The
requirement for a good person is more than just not harming someone. I didn't hurt anyone. It's not
enough way more is needed for you to start thinking that maybe inshallah I'm a good person
		
00:18:54 --> 00:19:03
			goes beyond just not causing harm, even though that's where you start for sure. Number you start
with not harming people. That's not why I'm not doing that in my own. Those withhold aid.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:11
			Solitude was revealed during this period. So at Hood is one of my favorite songs of all time. I love
this sutra.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			I have specific
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			association affiliation with the school and times of my life, it talks about reform
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:52
			is a sort of that says okay, the message of Islam is beautiful. But if it miss if it's missing one
thing, there's one critical piece of it's missing it, it doesn't function. The message is beautiful.
But if it's missing reform, it doesn't work. It becomes Toothless. It becomes it has no edge to it.
It doesn't change anything. The status quo stays exactly the same and people don't. You just go to
massage it and pray and leave but there's nothing happening. You need to slow. You need the concept
of Islam. That's why the surah had all the stories of the Prophet has the story of Noah, and the
story of hood. And then the story of Sonic and the story of Ibrahim and then the story of loot and
		
00:19:52 --> 00:20:00
			the story of stripe and the story of Musa had also all seven major prophets existence sort of hood,
and they all give you access
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:12
			Animals of their profits coming and bringing reform trying to change something. Each prophet had a
different struggle. They didn't have the same struggle, no one was up against racism and nepotism.
Who that Instagram was, was was up against tyranny
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:49
			and extravagance and low police that was against was up against ethical corruption and certain
ethical corruption that was problematic, where people stopped understanding how how how they're
supposed to carry themselves and label themselves and deal with opposite with people from the
opposite gender or opposite * didn't know what to do with anymore. Ethical corruption show I was
dealing with financial corruption, the FCC and they they ruined the the visa they didn't they didn't
they didn't. They had a lot of Riba and all of their Musa was up against political each one had a
different type of corruption. I did like maybe eight nine quarters in a row with lmm a few years
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			ago. They're all you listen to them.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:21:22
			But each of those stories ended with punishment. All of them. Oh, and the way they ended were very
similar. I bought a deli Arden told me hood, indeed, away with the beat with the people of Hood.
Then a few verses later, Lisa moved away with the people of the mood. Then a few verses later, I
bought Adelina Dianna Canada is assembled and did away with people but just like the people in the
mood, the Prophet alayhi salatu salam is thinking to himself, What if next is Allah aboard the Lima?
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:32
			What if next is Allah aboard the licorice, that was his fear on his tomatoes, and the most people
don't understand. His fear was that his people were up next.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:59
			And if he could not bring reform, if he couldn't, if he wasn't successful in bringing reform to his
people, then then his family was up next. Which is why in sort of the hood, you find these beautiful
words, I'm saving the show, I love this, I love this. This idea, this piece is worthy of writing on
a verb and putting up on above your bed in UI do il two slash, Mr. Pot, all I want is to bring
reform to the best of my ability.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:10
			Identifying where there's a deficit, where there's a problem with the status quo is not good, where
it's not helpful, where it's harmful, where people are actually suffering because of it, and they're
saying that needs to change it takes it takes guts,
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:43
			you have to be bold. You have to be willing to rock the boat. It's a hill that you're probably gonna
die on. Your reputation will suffer from this your business, your law will suffer when you bring
reform because the people who enjoy the status quo go after you and they have money and they have
status, they have connections, they have people who will help them and they own the media and they
own this and so you're gonna you're gonna suffer, everything about you is going to suffer because
you're going to speak out against something that is wrong. Most of us prefer just to ignore it and
just will do a lot of fight elsewhere. But not that one piece. That's that's difficult to talk
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:48
			about, because talking about that's going to cost me is going to cost me on a personal level, maybe
even beyond that.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:23:07
			No one wants to be crucified on their own. No one wants to lose their, their livelihood and lose
their reputation because of something but that's what the prophets had to do. And BIA, that's what
they had to do. They have to come and say, Yeah, everything is nice. This thing here isn't there.
People will say everything you're saying is beautiful. Just don't talk about this.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			What they told you I'm
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:53
			also Lautoka I love this idea of Salah Touka Moroka and Netro karma Abu Hakuna Oh enough Isla de moi
Alina Yasha. Does your prayer is their question. Does your prayer is how they put it? Does your
prayer tell you that we have to change whom we worship or not use our money the way we want? Like,
are there regulations with our regarding our wealth? Does your prayer tell you that? That's how they
ask your prayer? Yeah, my prayer, my dean, because prayer is not disconnected. You can't just pray
and then break every other Islamic rule doesn't work that way. I'm sorry. That doesn't work. That
doesn't work that way. So even the people who just believe that our Salah Touka does your prayer
		
00:23:53 --> 00:24:11
			command you to change what we worship and change the way we deal with our wealth. So we explained to
them yes, it does. Yes, it does. And they when they told him no, and if you keep on saying this will
kill you and those with you. And then they tried and they almost did.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:21
			And his message was in what do you do in that slot? Hi Mr. Potts. Oh, I wanted to bring a slide. I
just want to bring reform because this is not helpful. This is harmful.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:59
			These the last piece of sort of Hood, this last piece over here, I stuck him come out we'll meet.
Walk the straight path no corruption, no corruption, no financial corruption, political corruption,
ethical corruption, social corruption, no, no corruption at all. No spiritual corruption. All that
is stuck in come out when we walk the straight path, as you were told to woman tabernacle and those
who repented from their corrupted ways with you. While I suppose Oh, and don't transgress, don't
oppress others don't coerce people. Don't speak down to them. Don't condescend. Don't hold people to
your standard all the time. Just walk the straight path without telekinesis.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:06
			When I tell you in a Latino vulnerable, but don't sell out either don't transgress against people
but don't sell out.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:44
			Don't get don't compromise your values and principles, because if it's you have to stand your
ground. The Prophet alayhi salatu salam later in life, and unknown Hadith, he will be sitting there.
He always had a full block, you know, head of hair. And towards the end of his life, he had like
some yellow hairs, sorry, some white hairs in his head. And one of the Sahaba came in said yellow
suit Allah shipped. You're shy, you're getting gray Bacala Sure, yeah. But who don't know how to
hood has given me red and the white hairs and the similar students. So I went, This is why I looked
at this sort of later on in my life, like, what, what exactly? About who? And then I read it and oh,
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:45
			that's why.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:26:04
			Because how do you how do you do this? How do you promote, bring reform, and keep that balance where
you, you stay incorruptible, and you don't transgress and you don't sell out and you stick? It's a
very fine balance. But that's what the Sahaba learned in those in those listening to the stories of
the prophets and what happened to their people they learned,
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:38
			you know, in that same Surah I'm sorry, I'm taking a little bit on that same surah the story of new
Hala history, right? And that's the story. That's the surah where no holiday Salam wants his son to
get with him. Right? When I dunno, I don't even know what kind of females did you have when a young
man he calls his son, his son wasn't a believer. He didn't believe in Him. And it's in your head in
the midst of the he's in his she's in the ship that he built into the middle of these waves of
water, and he sees his son, he can't help but his father, so he calls upon his son, come, come my
son be with me. And his son says, No, I'll swim to that mountaintop, I'll be fine. He didn't want to
		
00:26:38 --> 00:27:17
			be with them. He didn't want to be a part of it. And then we'll have there been a human mode you can
move rocking and then waves came between the two of them his son drowned and died. No, no, I was
given a promise by Allah subhanaw taala years before that, your family, your family, I'll save your
family for you. Your family will be fine because he and his son died. So know how to use them after
they after they landed. Didn't know what to do but he he couldn't help but he's the father when I
don't know if a rubber tire of BMW Minnelli when no other could help Oh my lord, my son is a part of
my family. Well, I know why that can happen. Your promises are always the truth. I'm not questioning
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:24
			them at all. But my says My family told me when talking with Hakeem, but you are the most wise of
all rulers but he just asked a question.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:32
			The tone in the Quran after that question was severe, was very heavy.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			You know what? Color you know, they said Alec, he's not from your family.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:28:14
			And no, I'm going to ladle sod if he did that, which was not good. He's not your family anymore. But
that's only my lace and I can be here and don't ask me questions. You have no knowledge about ni
Iloka and the cool nominal Jehane I am warning you to not be amongst those who are ignorant. So the
new repented. So you know nepotism, nepotism is corruption, systemic corruption. What you know, you
want me to save your son because he's your son. He's not a believer. He refused openly you no longer
son anymore. You want me to save him? Just because he's your son. You want God to be corrupt himself
and save someone who was never a Muslim just because he's your son? No, he will drown? No, I'm
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:19
			sorry. He will drown. I'll save the ones who believe that will save and they were saved.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:51
			That's what I saw today. So help heavy. There's no There's no corruption. In our deen. We refuse it.
And we live to bring reform to ourselves first and then to the world around us. And that message was
an early early Mechi message the herding got an outcome they learned this. That's why they were so
that's why do you think about it. That's why these people live such a when you listen to this
standard they held themselves to you're like that's impossible. Sometimes you'll even believe the
stories. Sometimes I'll tell you a story like that. hearsay. Because it's almost impossible to
imagine that people live like that.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:57
			And that's what these students taught. Each one of them taught something a little bit different.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			Was a How about Allah Who on whom and during physical,
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:39
			physical oppression. That was their trial. That was their trial. Their trial was physical. They had
to put up with being beaten with being starved, with being called names being lashed with being
kicked out of their homes. That was what we have Muslim brothers and sisters today. That's their
trial to their being trialed with with destruction with the loss of their homes and the loss of
their lives. Right. Not everyone's trial is the same. I would like to say that if your trial is not
that, then you have an easier if you want to challenge me, you're welcome to I'll probably win the
argument is not that difficult.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			Because it's all easy until your life's on the line.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:59
			It's all fun and games until you got lucky. Anyway, when you're being slapped around that things
change, when suddenly your value as a human being is no longer being observed. When you can't speak
your mind when you're being treated as if you're subhuman somehow, or maybe something worse. That's
a whole different type of trial.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:13
			When someone takes you and puts you on a bed of coal, and there's no retribution, there's no law to
take you to take the rights for you. That is, I would argue that's much more difficult. fair trial
was not trial. Well, the Allahu Anhu Jemaine our trial is not the same.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:21
			We don't have the same trial. What was the last time? This was a physical trial for you?
		
00:30:22 --> 00:31:07
			Probably it'll, most likely never will be Sharla. Todd? Well, my mean Gela we never say that
physical trials on our trials are different. Your role is knowledge. It's knowledge seeking. It's
learning Yeah, learn. Learn your deen and Omar is well educated and OMA that is well educated that
understands his Deen, that raises the bar in terms of his understanding of what of its own
spirituality and its own law, and its own method of organization as an OMA that will find success.
Eventually, ignorance almost won't. Our trial is not that of putting up or being perseverant in the
fit in the face of physical, physical repression or physical persecution. It is it is a trial of
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:17
			adherence. It's an a trial of grit. It's a trial of knowledge seeking. It's a trial of togetherness,
when you want not to be a part of this group. It's a trial of getting over yourself.
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:36
			Just getting over your ego and saying, Yes, I'm a part of this film. I don't like everyone in it. I
don't like all of their behaviors, all their practices or something I enjoy. But this is my family.
And this is what I'm stuck with. And getting over yourself and sticking with it. And bringing it
together and and strengthening their unity and taking care of your community. That's the trial that
we carry.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:32:10
			If you will say to yourself that if I lived back with him out of his salatu salam, I would have been
in doubt a lot of no matter how many times I got lashed or slapped or kicked around or pushed around
or in my house burned down. And in these days, you don't understand your deen you don't help your
community. You're not involved in the advocacy for your ummah. I'm sorry to say that that isn't
true. I'm sorry to say that it's not true. If you're a bank, then you wouldn't have done that.
Because the trial today is less difficult. And if you're not actually overcoming it, then how do you
overcome
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:31
			this? Well, I narrate this hadith every once in a while, because is one of my favorites. And it's
insight and Bukhari and it doesn't have a hadith it's not actually a hadith. There's nothing about
him Allah who saw some being said, but it's narrated in the Buhari and it's fully authentic, and I
love it because of that. Where a tabby, someone who came after the Sahaba would come to us with with
Allahu Anhu under the no Sahaba.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:33:00
			One of the early people who went out of Africa, and he was saying, Man, as you might have heard,
Tina, I mean, I let her tell rasool Allah how beautiful these eyes are, who saw the prophets of
Allah, he's like, who sent them and he started saying things like, how bad they are open to I wish I
was there. I wish it was then for Habib. He got upset for Carlos boo the people his close students
called nomadic marcada Raju Allah, why are you upset? He only said quiet for kala Marbella. Hajikko
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:38
			you don't follow will mean Allah He Oh, my God on her Yabba Allahu Anhu what's wrong with people
amongst you who are asking for something a situation that Allah did not put them in asking to be in
it? layer three low kinda fee Hema konasana he doesn't know if he were put in that situation. What
do we have done for any animal owners and o rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, I know people who
saw the face of the Prophet Allah, wa Jalla su rasool Allah so Allah has an insight with him. When
stemma rasool Allah and they listen to the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam what can only Allah
Haman, and they were more related to that him than you ever will be fucka Boehm Allahu Allah will be
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			infinite and they all went to jahannam
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:47
			they didn't believe in him. So what are you asking for? Why are you asking for something that you
you weren't putting?
		
00:33:49 --> 00:34:12
			Your screw hadoo qumola and Ha Raja Illa duniya Allah Allahu Allah Allah will never will none of you
be thankful that they came to this world All they know is Allah they didn't have to go through this
turbulence that we had to go through this this change this huge rift in society that we had to face
you came out you only know Allah be happy with that and then go do something good with it. Go
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:17
			go go look back now and I want to know you're here you're not there you don't know what I would have
done there
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:22
			what do you know maybe if you were there your right hand who knows?
		
00:34:26 --> 00:35:00
			What do I know? What I know? If you were there? What we would have done you're here you're now
you're given a gift. Use it. Yeah. You'll still use what you have. You've been given you know the
truth. Most people walk this earth they never have the privilege of knowing what is correct and what
isn't. They're lost and they have no way to get here. Like we can't get them to listen here. This is
to the world is too noisy. They can't hear it. They'll never get to hear this I feel Don't you feel
bad that they'll never know enjoy the beauty of Mohamed Salah and hear the story and appreciate what
it is that we've got. You have
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:15
			that appreciate you. Appreciate it so that your milk Yama, you don't sit there and have no nothing
to come back to Allah with. When he asked you, what did you do with your life? show me show me. You
didn't know I made sure you weren't being persecuted physically, it was easy for you show me what
you did.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			This is what you did. That's it.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:56
			Where do you spend your time? What were you doing? What are you going to say? I don't know what to
say. I don't know how to explain to him to pound to honor the time waste, and the lack of adherence
and the lack of care, the lack of empathy, the lack of compassion, and the lack of of grit. I don't
I don't know what to tell him. Subhan Allah to Allah. But maybe, maybe, maybe sometimes if you work
together, it's less work on everyone. Maybe if the community works together things a lot of it comes
from from Jamar. A lot of it comes from Jamal and it makes it easier for everyone. Know what your
role is. Our role is not like theirs. But it's just as important. We're in a historical time, where
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:05
			it's not the best of situations. If you zoom out the Islamic graph, we're not at the rock bottom.
But we're close.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:49
			We're close. We're not in a very good historical time, which requires people who are 10 times more
serious 10 times more willing to sacrifice and persevere. People who are who take the commitments
way more seriously than others because we're living in that very critical time. What you do today
will dictate what the next 3040 years will look like for this Oma. You may not believe that, but
that is the truth. What you would do today the choices that especially if you're young, the choices
you make today, in terms of your your educational choice, your educational choices, your religious
choices, your ethical choices, your personal choices, these will all later on, dictate what the
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			status of our OMA will look when I'm dead.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:37:00
			Whether the person who sits in this position at some point can say something more positive, versus
just looking at a OMA that is struggling on every front.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:11
			When you're telling you this part of the story, you almost think you all will start wondering who is
who has the upper hand here.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:22
			This corporation does Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salatu salam have just the prophet or does it is it
fresh? Because we enter after the sixth year into the negotiation period.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:38:08
			They felt they figured out that they couldn't beat Islam out of people. They wasn't working. They
kept on doing it. They they kept on doing this to people, but they felt it wasn't working, meaning
more and more people were accepting Islam and because more and more people are accepting Islam. They
got scared. So they started coming to the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam with negotiations. Let's
see if we can strike a deal. So they start with that Bhutan. And they said yeah, Bhutan in a pika
percent for her. Allah Mina was shut down Medina was barely Hatena indeed your nephew. He is he's
makes like he mocks are our way of life. He speaks ill of our of our gods. He pokes holes in our
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:44
			deen like he's making it seem that everything we're doing is wrong. When it got to me he was dumb
enough and you're the one who is basically protecting him when like a fina cuddle and mashallah we
respect you and poco Fub now he cannot get him to calm him down. Quiet him a little bit silence him.
Yeah, we're leaving him because we respect you call it Papa. Yeah, Mahathir welcome module. So he
listened to them, let them all let them get it all out of there off their chest and let them
complain. And then he said a few nice words to them. And then he sent them on the way and didn't
give them anything, you know, that diplomatic kind of way of doing things where they didn't get
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:47
			anything. So they go and nothing changes. So they get upset.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			They get upset, they come back to him.
		
00:38:53 --> 00:39:29
			And they bring him this is, this is actually what happened. I know this is gonna sound insane to
you. But this is how bankrupt they are. You see, this is what I want you to learn from these
stories. And I have a strong idea is what he had Alehissalaam didn't have numbers, didn't have
money, didn't have power. But he had a strong idea. And this is what happens if you have a strong
idea. The person or the group have in front of you. They're bankrupt. They have all the resources
but they can't because the idea is too strong. So they came to him saying you're not gonna be Amara
Igneel. Well, he didn't in the movie era who, as you might know, Shabaab will be brought a new
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:34
			amount of military college never leaves younger brother. We brought him to he's the most handsome
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:59
			gentleman he is like the perfect guy who walked in and give us give us your Amen instead here will
make us swap for the heck I'm in Abu Dhabi. I'd have laughed Davone even Tony Mineko you can see he
now the overseer will take on Evany exactly do you want me to you want to give me your son so I can
raise him and then I give you mine to kill him? What do you what are you doing? They actually
thought this would work. Here we're going to give you
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:06
			Do the most handsome of them out of the bachelors, take them and give us Muhammad so we can set them
on their way that is ridiculous.
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:15
			So they come to him a third time. But this time is different. This time they came in there was evil
in their eyes.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:25
			They came and they didn't show him the respect that usually they show him because he was an elder
noblemen. They walked in, he stands up to greet them, they cut him off.
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:48
			And they don't enter the house and they speak from outside. And they speak very clearly. And they
say yeah, about Taalib. enough and have your neck. We have offered you warnings. Wouldn't he come as
Allah yes to early Hatena. We were able Dina and your nephew continues to speak about our religion
and to talk about our gods and he's explaining you saying oh eight is correct and is not correct.
And
		
00:40:49 --> 00:41:05
			we're in we're in NACA, ima and Akufo Anna, oh, Naku fauna, and either you silence him or we will do
it when again my data and if you decide to protect him when we do it in WebMD, Hashem
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:22
			lynda.com Talon had like a hadoo Hygiena and if you try to stop us, then us and Benny Hashem in your
tribe will fight until one of the two tribes ceases to exist till the last month like we will fight
till we are all dead.
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:27
			And before he was able to say something, they want to believe
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:28
			they shook them
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:39
			elderly men in the 70s they should he's not used to being treated that way or spoken to that way
it's the first time he's ever been spoken to in that matter in his life.
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:48
			So what hurt him so he called his son appeal and he said after he whenever the Mohammed go on call
for him Mohamed Salah Holly
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			The valley is awesome Kim
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:55
			ACARA you have been working
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:59
			alone FC ko Ali? How about you?
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:10
			My nephew How about you? You keep me alive and keep yourself to in Hamilton email. Okay. It seems
like you're burdening me with that which I cannot carry.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:15
			And he goes on to ask the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam to stop doing it.
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20
			You know, can you so another part of it is a lot to us
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:31
			at that moment in the in the in the CLI and his help. And he points out that the Prophet alayhi
salam heard that from from his uncle, and a tear will run down his face on his thoughts.
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:38
			And most likely the reason that was the case is because for a moment there, he felt isolated.
		
00:42:39 --> 00:43:19
			He felt like he didn't have anyone left that was supporting him. Like he didn't have any more. He
was losing the only support he had outside of the Muslims were following him. Most of them were not
highly high nobleman who had a lot of was able to live his uncle. I thought it was protecting him
because I thought it made a promise to his father of Dinamo Talib. When the Prophet Alayhi Salatu
was Salam was seven years old. I'm gonna have asked I told you this will probably have asked I will
tell him, you take care of him. This is my last we'll see you my last words to you, my son is to
take care of Muhammad for me. He's there's a story for him, something will be of his matter. So take
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:37
			care of you promise me so I will call it promised. So he I will call him basically protected the
property that you saw some of the majority of his book up till now. So it comes to the Prophet Allah
is awesome. Now what he's telling him I can't do this anymore. You're compromising my safety and
your safety. You're burdening me with that which I cannot carry anymore.
		
00:43:38 --> 00:44:00
			So what's your runs on his face out of your salatu salam and he says, and and this is what he
actually says. And I'll tell you what most people think he said just so you because it's okay. But
we said but Allah heya I'm Marina aka Allah Lika Minko and Tisha Illumina Shamcey be Sharla said,
Oh, um, I can't do that. Just as much as you can't
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:37
			take, take a candle to the sun. You can't turn your candle on from the sun, and I can't stop doing
this. Now the narration that most people know by heart, and it's actually not very authentic. It
exists in the books of CLR. But it doesn't have a proper background to it. But I think it's still
reasonable to share with people because there's really nothing in it the strong is the narration
where he says out of your salatu salam amla or shamsur Right on Yemeni will come out of each family.
I took a hurdle Amata back to who had you lira hula hula could do you know, my my uncle, if they if
you put the sun in my right and the moon in my left, I would never stop doing this until I either
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:42
			either Allah underground says success or I die. But we don't have good authenticity for this is one
that we do.
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:45
			And then it gets up I used to lie to him when he walks away.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			I will tell him sits there for a few minutes and he thinks about it.
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:59
			And then he calls out the and he says yeah I feel it happened ideally Mohammed. Mohammed back. So
we're going to call the Prophet alayhi salatu was Rabbi Islam was very clear. I'm not stopping
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:22
			If you're not going to defend me, you're going to defend me, then I guess I won't be defended,
you're not gonna protect me, then you're not gonna protect, what can I do, but I can't stop doing
this is not, this is not a choice that I have. I've been given a responsibility and I have to carry
it. So he leaves out of his thoughts that I'm feeling feeling let down and feeling isolated and
feeling unprotected. And it's a very hard feeling, by the way.
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:28
			It's something we don't have to go through. Because there's an OMA today, we're there's many there
are a lot of us.
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:32
			We're a sizable community, there's a lot of people, you don't have to feel alone.
		
00:45:33 --> 00:46:10
			You don't have to feel alone as people do. Because we don't reach out well. But you don't have to.
There's people in the communities or large community and you'll find people who will hear you and
listen to you and help you and stand by you. And I think as as a society, as a Muslim community, in
these small cities, in our in London and elsewhere, we have to put more effort into making sure that
we set up systems so that people don't feel alone. So that people who are vulnerable, who can feel
alone don't. So if you're coming from a family, where there's 5060 people, then you're you're okay,
like, when you fall, there's all these hands, they'll come out and they'll look at you, you'll be
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:47
			fine. But if you're here alone, you're an immigrant, just you and your spouse and a few children. Or
maybe, then when you fall, there's no one to hold you, no one can catch, you just you'll just hit
the ground. And that shouldn't be the case in any Muslim community. It shouldn't be the case in any
Muslim community, there should always be hands out there to hold to catch people when they fall,
because everyone will everyone falls, you will fall to if you haven't already, we all fall, we all
fall in our lives, sometimes multiple times. And those of you have fallen in their lives and found
someone to catch them. They know the value of that the value of that person who they'll never forget
		
00:46:47 --> 00:47:25
			it for them that that person maybe they didn't do a lot but they caught caught me. They caught me
when I didn't know where else to go. We have to have systems in our society that are set up for that
so that people don't fall in hit the ground face first on the pavement and and then set up sit
around with nothing we have to do better because we have the capacity we don't like numbers we don't
like it well, maybe we can do it. It's just a matter of a little bit better organization because the
profit the profit at least or some comes back because he is the hub so called mash it why file mash
it in the money Okoma bucket. So he told he told him go my nephew, say what you want and do what you
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:29
			will I will continue to protect you to the to my my last my last day
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:33
			in he gave some poetry at that point.
		
00:47:35 --> 00:48:04
			We don't know for sure we don't get when it comes to without him. There's a question mark on what
how he passed away? The scholars are kind of 6040 60% that they believe he didn't accept to stem and
40 believe that he did? We don't know. We don't know. I think there's a reason for that. Like, I
think the controversy around whether he did or he didn't. There's a reason for it. Islamically for
us, because it's like as if Allah subhanaw taala is saying Look, someone that you can't even be sure
accepted or didn't did more for Islam than most of you.
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:22
			It's like a little bit of a little bit of a poke a little bit. You see this guy he did more for this
Deen than most most of most of us do. Even though we can get we get swear this way or that way. And
it's a model who it Allahu Allah subhanaw taala knows what his what was in his heart. But I think
the concept there is just very
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:26
			upsetting. Sometimes, when you think about it.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:30
			They will come to the Prophet alayhi salatu salam,
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:55
			since they couldn't get anywhere with a Multilib. And they didn't actually come through with their
with it with their threat. But they did start to think about assassination. And it's from this
moment forward. But the prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam has that word lingering in the background,
like the concept of being assassinated being killed started then. And it continued to the day he
passed away out of his soul to Islam in 19 separate attempts on his life, he has sought to
		
00:48:56 --> 00:49:01
			19 separate attempts on his life on his authority, his life. He never had a bodyguard.
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:11
			He never walked with a bodyguard on his lonesome, 19 Time to try to get them out of him. So to sum
that, we know that some of the famous ones some other less famous ones, we don't know exactly what
they haven't, but they're but they're documented.
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:18
			So they come to me in salatu salam, and I love this story, and we will tell it in there we'll go for
our Kahoot inshallah.
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:34
			So they gather and they decide that they're going to make some offers to him. So they choose amongst
them someone who is the most the most noble or the most elder of all of them. It was a man by the
name of Elizabeth Ibia, who lead
		
00:49:35 --> 00:50:00
			so he's an elderly man who later on die in bedroom. He was old man, his 80s he was very respected.
So he came to the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, and he sat with him. And this is the conversation
that occurs between them. So he tells him Yeah, Mohammed, a Gitana Metallica de la mia TB he hadn't
come like you'll come to your people to your family with that, which no one before he was ever
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:23
			Come well I am gonna be Murphy subbly early Latina worship tamale de Nina of a rock debate and Abby
weapony He you came and you and you mark our faith and our belief system and our status quo and
you're basically taking away fathers and sons from each other because some are settling Islam and
some aren't so you're causing Katana, like this what their this is their propaganda this is what
they're saying, right? They have their narrative
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:56
			in your head nathula Aliko moron, we would like to offer you any truth and offer you some things.
Thank goodness he is what he's saying he's speaking to him like as a son. Oh my son in Quinta to
redo Marlin, Gemma and like I mean, um, while in a hotel. So if the other Nana, if it's money that
you're after, we will gather from all of our wealth, enough wealth to that to make sure that you are
the richest of all of us. So you will be the richest man in operation we'll gather you enough money
so that you're the richest and then maybe we'll drop this
		
00:50:57 --> 00:51:05
			we're incarna Mukhin to read moluccana Kaleena and if it's if it's sovereignty that you want you
want to be a king, we'll make you can
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:42
			start a kingdom here in Croatia will make you the kick right? When kinda Jahan to read Salford NACA
Allah you know, and if it's status that you want will make you the say, you'd see there's a
difference a little bit in Arabic culture between being a king and being being a tribe chief,
they're not the same thing as C yada. Being the same as being the noble being is actually much more
attractive to an Arabic person because it means that you're not because that King can be hated by
people. He's the king but he can be hated people can say Satan speak negatively of him because but
he's still the king he has political power. And sciatica means everyone will will love you will
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:49
			speak highly of you and only only decisions decisions will be made only through you like you'll
always be the person we come back to.
		
00:51:50 --> 00:52:11
			When kinda nice and to read. External Achaemenid Neisseria gimana Hoonah was always not gone and if

00:52:14 --> 00:52:15
			But is this
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:22
			I every time I read this story, I'm like, I'm waiting for the PiFan II sausage to see this. Thank
you. Thank you. But what are you doing?
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:34
			Money and women in sommerstein disease? What are you doing? What is this? What is this? What are you
What are you offering me some allah how and it's like you said, I'm someone who speaks or do you
believe
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:46
			someone who has been carrying the Quran someone who not who knows Allah subhanaw taala didn't listen
to this. But he listened to the end. He listened to me was saying just complete
		
00:52:47 --> 00:53:04
			nonsense. Just going on complete nonsense and he's listening to did not interrupt once. He made all
of these insane, meaningless, useless offers to the Profoto you saw this and never never interrupted
once he was done. He made all his offers SCOTT Yeah, bellied
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:06
			up are
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:28
			you are you finished? Like do you still have anything else you want to say before I speak for Carla?
Bacala Yes, ma'am. And Nick and I you know, answer are you just here to tell me this and leave the
salah ha and it's like we said the mandala Adam, just as a buddy who started when he speaks to
people is it like maybe he doesn't want to hear him? Maybe he just wants to say things and leave.
But you want to hear me about that and I'm for
		
00:53:29 --> 00:54:21
			it okay. I will be learning ministry. Apolonia rajim Bismillah AR Rahman AR Rahim. eHarmony 10 Zero

the only now worker women been in Albania hijab fireman in Milan and he recites the first 13 verses
of swords falsely that that's all he does. He comes to a number 13 and the eye says in out all due
for Paul to comb saw effort to miss Lhasa, Katya dealing with a mood and if they refuse to listen to
you, and then tell you tell them that I warn you from a sci fi from a form of punishment that will
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:30
			be afflicted upon you as that habit was afflicted upon the iPod and the mood before you an
earthbender phobia as he was listening to this.
		
00:54:31 --> 00:55:00
			He got worked up and when you heard the word sciatica, he was as if he felt that this was going to
happen right now. Because of his thoughts with someone he recited the Quran, he recited it with
heart, you know with heart and he he actually you felt it it wasn't just listening. You felt what he
was saying. So open to listening to these words in audible listen to this stuff and you'll make
sense of it. And if the prophet is awesome was so powerful in the way he was reciting these verses.
He felt the final thought was going to fall on his head right then and there. He jumped out
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:29
			out of his chair and he put his hand on the mouth of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam saying now shut
took hola hola now shut took hola hola Rohingya Muslim I asked you by Allah and by the fact that we
are relatives I asked you by Allah and by the fact that we are relatives that no more no more but
had been temporarily until he noticed what he was doing his handles on the Prophet uninstalled the
zombies mode and he was overreacting Alpha Statia and he got embarrassed. So he sat back down again.
He realized that he just he got a little bit over.
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:43
			He got scared and he sat back down again he said go on I will custom I'm sorry. So the Prophet Allah
you saw someone continue to recite the verses until he came to the stage in the Surah. So he got up
early Islamic Shizune an earthbound left.
		
00:55:45 --> 00:56:14
			He took the opportunity he left. He's coming back. I was with Jana Bucha was standing there that was
Sofia and as you'll learn it was very, very cunning gentleman very, very, very intelligent. He's
looking at a walk back and he looks at me Johnny says look, I tell him I will will eat beer you will
watch him at the hobby. We will use coming back with a different face than the one he left here with
me this is not this is not the same guy. So let's go with a smart man. So he came to them. And this
one he said Takada Wallahi
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:53
			Naka Samia to Kalam Allah Allah for what to whom and ICT I heard were words I heard a speech that I
don't know the beginning of it from the end of it. I don't know what this was. This was not poetry.
I don't know what this is. I've been a lot of for a long time. And I don't know what this is. When
the IRA and to her lubaina Who Robaina you read, and I see that you should let him do what he wants
to do. For in in Kasara for Huizhou, who is Zuko is he prevails, that his victory is your victory is
your same family. We're in Halawa. honus. kinda let it return. And if people listen to him, and then
kill him because of it, and that's what you want it anyways, for lubaina Obey the nurses smart man.
		
00:56:53 --> 00:57:15
			He's like, I don't believe not saying I lose. I'm leaving my religion. But let him speak. If it
works out, then it's in your advantage. If it doesn't, then they fee Come on. Now. Some people will
take care of him for you to have to do it yourself for follow how to follow ha ha and he is he has
Alzheimer's. He's He's lost his mom, he has dementia. He's an older man. You don't know what you're
talking about.
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:26
			But he was right. Even Listen, sometimes sometimes you don't listen to the wisdom of the elderly. He
was right. They would have saved themselves from a lot of pain and everyone if they just listened to
him.
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:42
			But the prophet Allah you saw those that I'm taught so listening and listening to people, you want
people to listen to you. You have to listen to them first. In order for people to listen to you, you
have to listen to them first you have to put your ear in and actually listen actually hear what they
have to say eat no matter how absurd what they're saying is
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:45
			the last question before we go for the goat
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:49
			Why didn't you take the sovereignty piece Alia? So what was the law?
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:58
			Why didn't take like why don't you take Okay, take the sovereignty and then nowadays king, he
established his freedom of speech and he spreads Islam. Right? It makes things much easier, much
easier.
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:01
			Because that's a corrupt way to do it.
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:36
			Because the ends never justify the means in Islam ever. This is going to happen is what your love
for family saw. So he's going to spread this message in an incorruptible manner, he will compromise
nothing. He will set out on nothing. And he will not use any shortcut to get where he's going. No
matter how many times it's offered to him, no matter how easier his life would have been, no matter
how much less blood would have been spilled because of it. He will just he'll do it correctly. And
because he did it that way Islam spread and I did not we would not be sitting here today. I'll end
with that and shoutouts to Michael Huntington Allah Illa hey, let's start with two great ones that
