The importance of Islam and its umbrella of life is emphasized, along with the need for people to be mindful of their actions and not just for their own sake. The culture includes a belief that people are not going to allow fear to stop them from doing what they know they can do, and they will continue to stand in their beliefs. The importance of forgiveness and embracing one's own success is emphasized, along with the need for acceptance and love in one's life. The speaker emphasizes the need for everyone to stick to what is in their book and not to find joy in their life.

			Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:15

00:02:10 --> 00:02:18
			is none worthy of worship except Allah.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			All praise is due to Allah, then all
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			praise is due to Allah.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			All praise is due to Allah, we praise
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Him, we seek His help, we seek His
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			guidance, we seek His forgiveness and we seek
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			His support.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			And we seek refuge in Allah from the
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			evils of our souls and from the evils
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			of our deeds.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide him, and
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			whosoever He misguides, none can find a guardian
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			for him.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			And I bear witness that there is no
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			god but Allah, there is no partner for
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			Him, there is no god but Allah, He
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			has not taken a wife or a son,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			He has not taken a wife or a
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			son, And I bear witness that our Prophet
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			and our Greatest, Muhammad is the servant of
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			Allah and His Messenger, and pure of his
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			creation and His Beloved.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik ala nabiyyina
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:30
			yaqulu jalla jalaluhu fi muhkam it-tanzeel ya
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:35
			ayyuha allatheena aamanu man yartadda minkum an deenihi
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:41
			fasawfa ya'ti allahu biqawmin yuhibbuhum wa yuhibboona athillatin
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			ala almu'mineena a'izzatin ala alkaafireena yujahiduna fee
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:51
			sabeelillahi wala yakhafuna laumata la'im thalika fadlullahi
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			yuteehi man yashaa Within the series of the
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			pledge of al-aqaba, talking about the bay
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			'ah that the Prophet had with the Ansar,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			on that blessed night, the last night of
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			hajj of the 20th year of his bi
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			'atha.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			He would meet with those who came from
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			Medina, from Yathrib, with their group for hajj.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			72 of them, men and women.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			They would come and meet at that last
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			night of ayam at-tashreeq, of the days
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			of hajj.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			And they would meet at jamrat al-aqaba.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			If you go perform hajj, it's where you
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			will throw your jamarat, one of the three
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			that you throw your jamarat out, the smallest
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			one.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			They would meet there with the Prophet, alayhi
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			salatu wasalam, in an evening that all those
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			who attended it continued to carry it in
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			their minds and their hearts to the day
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			that they died, seeing it as the most
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			precious moment of the entirety of their lives.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			When they stood in front of the Prophet,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			alayhi salatu wasalam, and offered him their pledge.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			When he asked them, alayhi salatu wasalam, for
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			five things, in order for him to move
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			and leave Mecca and come to them, alayhi
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			salatu wasalam, and make Yathrib the city that
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:08
			it is today.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			Make it the city that people from all
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			around the globe would do anything to be
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			able to go and visit.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			The city that when you enter, you come
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			back and you say, I found nothing but
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			peace, I found calmness, I found beauty, I
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			didn't want to leave those who would do
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			anything to live there.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			He made it that, alayhi salatu wasalam.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			It wasn't that before he went there.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			He made it that, alayhi salatu wasalam.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			His presence, the fact that he went there,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			alayhi salatu wasalam, and he only went there
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			when the people there offered him that pledge.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			And I give this analogy.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			That if you would like the Prophet, alayhi
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			salatu wasalam, to come into your life, and
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			to do for you what he did for
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			Yathrib, because Yathrib is a name that I
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			use it on the minbar specifically, because you
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			don't care for the name.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			It doesn't mean much for you.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			You don't even know what that is anymore.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			Because today is al-Madin al-Munawwara, alayhi
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			salatu wasalam.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			Today is Taybah.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			That's what it's known as.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			But before that, it was just a town
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			called Yathrib.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			It was torn from the inside.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			It was torn from the inside.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			The people who lived there didn't like each
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			other.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			It was filled with disease and poverty and
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			injustice and hatred and racism.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			It was a city that lacked the basic
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			resources for life.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			It was a city that had no future.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			Which is why alayhi salatu wasalam did not
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			go to the people of Yathrib and offer
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			himself during those years of hajj.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			When you study the year of hajj, the
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			10th year, and you look at the different
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			tribes he went and spoke to, the 26
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			attempts that we have on record.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:38
			He has way more than that.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			But the 26 I have on record, he
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			didn't speak to Yathrib and them.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:42
			Why?
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:43
			Because there was no point.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			He didn't want to go there.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:45
			Why go there?
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			He knows the landscape.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			He knows the environment.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			He knows the group of people.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			He knows the heterogeneity of the actual population.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:53
			He knows the wars.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			He knows.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:54
			He knows.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			Why would he go?
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			It's not worth it.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			He wants a place that has a better
		
00:06:59 --> 00:06:59
			setup for him.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala chose Yathrib
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02
			for him.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			So that he could go and he could
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			fix it alayhi salatu wasalam.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			Because he went to a place.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:07
			Imagine this.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			He went to a place that was already
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			functioning.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			It's already functioning.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			He came there alayhi salatu wasalam.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			He benefited from their functionality and he got
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:14
			the job done.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:14
			No.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			He was going to go to a place
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			that was not functioning.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			That wasn't working.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			That had no future.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			That was only getting worse.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			So that you could see the effect of
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			Muhammad alayhi salatu wasalam on a group of
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			people.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:27
			On a town.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			On a place.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			And if he can do that alayhi salatu
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			wasalam to a town and to a city.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			Then imagine what he could do to your
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			heart alayhi salatu wasalam.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			And to your life.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			Accept him as they did.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			Accept him alayhi salatu wasalam as the Ansar
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:41
			did.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			And he will do for you what he
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			did for the Ansar.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			But that requires this pledge.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			It requires offering him what they did.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			السماع والطاع في المنشط والمكره الانفاق في اليسر
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			والعسر الامر بالمعروف والنهي وعن المنكر Those are
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			three things we talked about.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			Number four.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			أن تقوموا في الله لا تأخذكم فيه لومة
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:06
			لائم For you to dedicate yourselves for Allah.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			And fear no one but Him.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			لومة لائم اللوم is when you're being blamed.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			اللائم is the one who distributes blame.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			So لا تأخذكم في الله لومة لائم You're
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			not going to allow the fear of someone
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			blaming you.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			Or pointing a finger at you.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			Or singling you out.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			Or removing you.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Or isolating you.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			You're not going to let the fear of
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			that stop you from doing what you know
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:30
			is correct.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			It's not going to make you compromise or
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			give up.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			Or lessen the priority of this Deen.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			You will continue to stand steadfast on your
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			beliefs.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			And you will prioritize this message.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			Even though many people will blame you for
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:43
			doing so.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			That's what this verse that was revealed years
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			later in Surah Al-Ma'idah says.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			Oh those who believe.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			مَن يَغْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِ Any of you
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			who decide to turn their back upon their
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:54
			faith.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			Turn their back.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			Commit apostasy.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			Or even less than that.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			Most scholars don't see this verse talking about
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			apostasy specifically.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			But even something less than that.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			The ارتداد is when you move backwards.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			Or you turn your back.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			It's used legally in the Islamic jurisprudence to
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			talk about apostasy when you leave Islam altogether.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			But any form of lack of commitment could
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			be called that as well.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			Which is what this verse of Allahu A
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:19
			'lam is pointing out.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			مَن يَغْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِ Those who lessen
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			their commitment.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			Those who distance themselves a bit.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			Those who take Islam and take the pleasing
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			of Allah SWT from the priority list and
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			put it somewhere different.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			Drop it down a couple of spots.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			Derank it.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ Then Allah SWT promises
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			that He will bring a substitute group of
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:43
			people.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ They will love Him and He
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			will love them back.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ They will be humble with
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:53
			their brethren.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ They will be brave and
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			of integrity against their enemy.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			And they will strive for the sake of
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			Allah.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			And they will not fear.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			They will not fear isolation.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			And they will not fear those who blame
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05
			them.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			They won't fear the haters or the blamers.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			They won't fear any of them.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			Because they know what their priorities are.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			Islam is the umbrella for your life.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			That everything else has to fall under.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			Islam is not a category.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			Within your life.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			It's not a category.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			Amongst other categories.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			It's not a compartment amongst other compartments.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			That you offer some attention.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			That you give a certain degree of hours
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			a day.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			Or a week or a month.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:31
			No.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			Islam is the umbrella.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			Everything falls under it.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			Everything falls under this deen.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:38
			Everything.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			Every moment of your life.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			Every thought, every decision, every choice.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:48
			يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهِ Oh those who.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			This is the first ayah in Surah Al
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			-Hujurat.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			Oh those who believe.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			Don't put anything before Allah and His Prophet.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			لا تُقَدِّمُوا Don't take anything.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			At all.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:01
			Anything.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			Whatever it is.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			Don't put anything above or before or ahead
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			of pleasing Allah and following His Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهِ And be aware.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			And be mindful of Allah.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ Indeed Allah hears all
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			and He sees all and He knows all.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:21
			سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى It doesn't work.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			Why are we alive?
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			What are we here to do?
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:24
			Where did we come from?
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			How did I suddenly exist?
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			Why do I have this consciousness?
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			Why do I have this ability to think
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			about things in a very deep manner?
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			Why do I have the ability to make
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			all these complex choices?
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			Why do I know the difference between something
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			that is correct, something that is good, something
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			that is helpful, something that is righteous, and
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			something that isn't.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			Why do I innately know this?
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			I don't see any other creature on the
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			planet with that interest at all.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			I don't see any other creature on the
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			planet running into an ethical dilemma.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			None of them are, they don't have their
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			courts, and they don't sit there depressed, wondering
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			whether they should have made a different choice
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:02
			at some point in their past.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:03
			None of them do.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			But somehow I do.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			Where did that come from?
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			And why am I like this?
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			Who put me here?
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			And where am I going with all of
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:10
			this?
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			And what is the end going to look
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:11
			like?
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			This is the question that you have to
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			ask.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			There is no, there's only one answer to
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:16
			this.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			And once you have that answer, then how
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			is it that you're going, how do you
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			go to God and explain your life?
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			Have you ever thought, I don't know how
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			I'm going to explain my life to Him.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			I don't know how I'm going to justify
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			my choices.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			I don't know how I'm going to stand
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			in front of Allah and try to explain
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			why I did what I did, and why
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			I made these choices, why I lived that
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:32
			way.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			I don't know how to make that argument
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			with Him, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			So all I can depend upon is that
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			maybe He shows me some mercy and some
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			forgiveness because I have no way to make
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			this argument.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			He gave me everything.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			For me not to give Him my all
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			is, makes no sense at all.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			For me not to give my all to
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, that's what He's
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:50
			looking for.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			He's not looking for your part-time commitment.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			He doesn't want that.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			Islam is not a gym membership, you don't
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			show up when you have time.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			Islam is what you're here for.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			There's no such thing as I didn't have
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			time.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			What did you have time for then?
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:05
			I'm interested to see what bumps this, like
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			what trumps your deen, explain to me.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			Make the argument.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			If you have a good one, tell me.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			I would love to follow in your footsteps
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			if you have a better argument.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			Convince me, please do.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			Convince me how this is something that you
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			can afford to say, I didn't have enough
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:19
			time.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			I was too busy.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			Explain to me how that works.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			Make it logical.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			So that I can do the same because
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			God knows it's tiring.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:28
			It is.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			The word jihad is there for a reason.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			It's to strive.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:32
			You're going to strive.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			You're walking uphill.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			The winds are against you.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			The tide is against you.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			The world does not really appreciate what you're
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:39
			doing.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			So it's not easy.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			It's not a walk in the park.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			It's no picnic.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			So if you have a better argument to
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			offer it otherwise, how are you going to
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			justify this?
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:53
			يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ تِجَارَةٍ
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			تُنْجِيكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ O those who believe,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			do you want me to show you a
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:02
			transaction, a transaction, a business transaction that will
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:06
			save you from a difficult and painful punishment?
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ You accept Allah.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			You internalize the understanding and acknowledgement of لا
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:16
			إله إلا الله.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			And then you strive for his sake with
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			your life and with your wealth, all that
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:21
			you are.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			All that you are is what's on the
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			inside and what you own on the outside.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:26
			That's all you are.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			It's all I am.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			Who I am on the inside and what
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			I own on the outside.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			I take both and I strive for the
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			sake of Allah with them.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			And anything less than that, anything less than
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			that doesn't work.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:37
			It doesn't work.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			It doesn't fulfill the purpose.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			That's what he was asking them عليه الصلاة
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			والسلام.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			I need your full commitment here.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			I need you to prioritize this message.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			We cannot compromise.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			We can't compromise anything.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			Have you read the 6th and 7th year
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			and 8th year of his prophecy عليه الصلاة
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			والسلام when they tried to negotiate with him?
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			They tried to get him to come.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدِهِنُوا فَيُدِهِنُونَ They want you to
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			compromise just a little bit so they can
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			compromise because they don't stand for anything anyways.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			They don't stand for anything anyways.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			They just want you to compromise because if
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			they get you to compromise, then it takes
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			away this halo that surrounds your faith and
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			surrounds your commitment.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:21
			It takes away the authenticity, the originality, the
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			divineness, the divinity of your message.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			Just compromise something.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:25
			But he didn't.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			He was asked عليه الصلاة والسلام.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			At one point, they had made so many
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			offers to him that they came to him.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			This hadith is in Muslim and you'll find
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			a narration of it in Ibn Majah as
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			well, where they came to him with the
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			final offer and they said, Fine, يا محمد
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			صلى الله عليه وسلم, fine, we will do
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			what you want.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			We will all convert.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			It is not appropriate, however, for myself and
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			the people who are like me, these are
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			the nobles speaking, the leaders of Quraysh and
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			the leaders of the Arab, to sit in
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			the same place where Bilal and Suhaib and
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			Ammar and these people sit.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			We can't do that.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			You need to give us our own time.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			We are the Ashraf and they are the
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:03
			Abid.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			We are the noble people.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			We are the leaders and they are people
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			who don't even have their freedom.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			This is not fair.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			So he thought about it for a moment
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			عليه الصلاة والسلام.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			Do I make two times?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			Before he could even answer.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			Like before he was able to answer them
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			عليه الصلاة والسلام, Jibreel was there.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:27
			وَلَا تَطُرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَةًۭ مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:34
			وَمَا مِنْ حِسَابِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَتَطُرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُونَ
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:38
			مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَكَذَلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لِّيَق وَقَلُوا
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			أَهَا أُولَٰئِمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّن بَيْنِنَا أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:46
			بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِرِينَ And do not ever turn away
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			those who call upon my name, ever.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			You are not responsible for their previous mistakes
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			and they are not responsible for yours, but
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			you kick them out or you remove them,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			you ask them to sit behind because someone
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			else wants to sit up front, then you
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			are an oppressor.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			And we have filled the hearts of these
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			leaders that you see with that hatred.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			So they walk around saying, how is it
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:08
			that God would lead this person who is
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			beneath me and didn't lead me?
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			Does Allah not know who is worthy of
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			his gratitude?
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			Does Allah not know who is worthy of
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			his blessing?
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:21
			And he said, no, and they looked at
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			each other and said, we didn't ask for
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			anything, just, no.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			You come to Islam and accept it as
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:27
			it is.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			You take it in totality.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			You take every aspect of it and you
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			embrace every aspect.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			You may not be able to do it
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:35
			all at once.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			You may not be able to do it
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:37
			all at once.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			It may be a heavy load to begin
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			with, but that's how you come to it.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			You accept all of it and you commit
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			yourself to all of it and you live
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			your life that way.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			And your life, every choice, every decision you
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			are making is to get you across the
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:51
			finishing line.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:55
			So ask forgiveness of him and he will
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			forgive you.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			O' those who seek forgiveness, ask forgiveness of
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			Allah.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			This sincerity to Allah and to give a
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			person his life for his Lord who has
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			given him this life is the least we
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			can do.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			This is the least we can give him.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			Anything less than our entire life, our money
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			and what we have is a real shortcoming
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			in the right of the Lord.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			And if you turn away, he will replace
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			a people other than you, then they will
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			not be like you.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			He is the one who is able to
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			replace us.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			And he asks Allah to not do it
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			and to use us for his religion and
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			to forgive and to forgive our shortcomings.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			But this is his question from them, peace
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:08
			and blessings of Allah be upon him.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			Give what you have and do not fear
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			Allah if you are blamed.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			Do not fear that someone will blame you.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			Do not fear that someone will say to
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			you, why did you do it?
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			Is it not a shame?
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:20
			Did you not do it?
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:21
			Did you not turn away?
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:22
			Why did you separate?
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			Why did you try?
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			No, we do not fear except Allah.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			And we do not give except what Allah
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:28
			wants.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			And this needs courage, and it needs patience,
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:35
			and it needs love.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			It needs love.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			To love Allah.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			By Allah, no one can force himself to
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			love someone unless he loves him.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:42
			It is not possible.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			It is not possible to force yourself to
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			love someone unless you love him.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			And if you do not love him, it
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			is not possible for you.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			It is not possible.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			Love is the first, the last, and the
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			basis in this religion.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			The love of Allah.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			To love him because you realized how much
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			he gave you.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00
			And how much he hurt you.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			And how much he guided you.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			And how much he was patient with you.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			And how much he was kind to you.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			And how much I was with him in
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			all of that.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			And how much I was short in his
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:12
			right.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			And how much I was stubborn in his
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:14
			matter.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			And how much I was disobedient.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			And he did not judge me.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			And he did not kick me out of
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:19
			his door.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			So what honor is this from him?
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			So is it possible for me to give
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			him something that is less than myself and
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:27
			my wealth?
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			By Allah, this is an abominable character.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			He says, subhanahu wa ta'ala, قُلْ إِنَّ
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:40
			صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ Say,
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			indeed, my rituals and my prayers and my
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			process of living and my process of dying
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			is all for Allah.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			Everything about me.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:50
			Everything about me.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			This is how he was.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			This is how he lived.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			Aisha tells us he would pray all night.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			Ya Rasulullah, don't you want to relax?
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			أَفَلَأَكُونُ وَعَبْدًا شَكُورًا He would stand until his
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			feet would change color.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			He would stand in Salat until his feet
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:05
			would change in color.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			And she would tell him, Ya Rasulullah, all
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			of your sins are forgiven.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			Take rest.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			أَفَلَأَكُونُ وَعَبْدًا شَكُورًا How can I not be
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			a grateful servant?
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			He gave me everything, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			How do I not love him back?
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			How is that acceptable?
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			The sahabah can ask Aisha after he passed
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			away, How was the Prophet ﷺ have certain
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			days he did more deeds than other deeds?
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:30
			فَقَالَتْ لَا نَوْ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ عَمَلُهُ دِيمَةً وَأَيُّكُمْ
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:34
			يُطِيقُ مَا كَانَ يُطِيقُ رَسُولُ اللهِ No, he
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:34
			was consistent.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			He was there in the zone all the
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:38
			time.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			And who of you can do what he
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			did?
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			True, we can't.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			We can't.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:47
			But we can't treat Islam as something that
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			we do when we have time.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			It can't be on the priority list anything
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			than number one.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			It can't.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			It doesn't function if it is.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			You put it number two or number three
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			or number four, it doesn't work.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			And if you're wondering how an ummah of
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			two billion people, with all the resources and
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			all of the intellect and all of the
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:08
			youth, can't get anything done, that's why.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			That's exactly why.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			Because Islam has yet to be put back
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:16
			in its appropriate place on that priority list.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			It's yet to be put.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			Once it gets put back again, you'll see
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:20
			the change.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:25
			But until then, enjoy this.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			What has it been now?
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			A year and a month?
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:29
			More?
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			Fourteen months now?
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			How much longer can something like this go
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			on?
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			How many children have to die?
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:38
			How many?
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			Do you not have children?
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			Do you not have a child you love
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:42
			in your life?
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			A niece, a nephew, a friend?
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			You don't see these people burying their children?
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			How is that acceptable?
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:50
			How is that okay?
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			How is that all still happening?
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			How can I even take time to think
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			about anything in my life?
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			How can I complain about anything?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			What really do I have to complain about
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:00
			here?
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			Until it's taken back.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:09
			Until we give that to him.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			We offer our pledge to the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			Say, yes, we prioritize this.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			We're going to live for this.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			We're going to live for it.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:25
			Or, فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُ الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُ
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:32
			الشَّهَوَاتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيَّا And a backwards group
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			came after them.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			And they messed up their prayers.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			And they followed their whims.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			And they will find agony.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			They will find wickedness.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:47
			فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِيثُ الْكِتَابَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:52
			هَذَا الْأَدْنَى وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُونَ وَإِنْ يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِثْلُهُ
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:56
			يَأْخُذُوهُ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ أَلَّا يَقُولُوا
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:00
			عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا مَا فِيهِ وَالدَّارُ
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:04
			الْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ And a
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			group who went backwards came after them.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			They inherited the book and they sold it.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			They sold a portion of that book to
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			make something for their dunya.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			They compromised some of what was in the
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:15
			book.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16
			They sold it for their own dunya.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			And they said, Allah is forgiving.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			He'll forgive us.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ Were they not
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			asked to give their pledge?
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			مِثَاق Were they not asked to give their
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			بَيْعَ That they will stick to what's in
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:31
			the book?
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			Did they not study what's in the book?
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			And see what it said?
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:36
			Yeah.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			They offered it.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			رضي الله عنهم أجمعين الأنصار And we have
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:42
			to do the same.
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			And until we do, then we will not
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			find what they found.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			They won't find the beauty.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			They won't find the ease.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			And they won't find the joy of having
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			the هَدِي of Muhammad ﷺ enter your life.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:25:00
			And that's the fourth article of this pledge.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:00
			I hope that was a benefit.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			وَاعْلَمْ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنَا بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:06
			اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ
