			by Remo Nakamura Kohala, Yeoman,
Tasha Sofia bizarre brothers and
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:00
			sisters. First of all, I Praise
Almighty Allah, the Creator,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			sustainer and cherish are the
world's
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:11
			who has bestowed on us abundant
blessings, and favors the last one
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			or whatever inspire each and every
one of us
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			to be grateful for the blessing
that is bestowed on us
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			and to share those blessings that
God has taught on us when fellow
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:30
			human beings and the creatures of
God so that we enhance the quality
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			of life for everyone. Because
Islam teaches us
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			that Rasulullah sallallahu
wasallam has been sent as a
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:45
			messenger of mercy for the other
piggish so we must manifest this
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:52
			mercy through actions, compassion,
compassionate actions, virtuous
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:58
			deeds that will show the world the
true nature of Islam pro message
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			of Islam. And today we have this
opportunity.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:10
			We know that the world is facing
this crisis is a critical juncture
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			at a critical juncture.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			India and where we come from, is
going through a great test.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			It is like a wildfire. This
pandemic
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			is spreading
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:32
			so fast that it defies the
official World Health Organization
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			official said
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39
			it is beyond defy defies
heartbreaking. It's beyond
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			something they have ever
experienced or seen.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:50
			So I want to use this opportunity
in this kotoba to talk about
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:56
			seizing the opportunities. All of
us have great opportunities. Every
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:03
			single one of us no matter how
challenged we are physically or
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:09
			whatever. We still have
opportunities to use to earn the
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:15
			great blessings and rewards and
make a contribution to society.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			The beneficial contribution
because Islam teacher says
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
said, I'll hyrecar AR Allah
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:30
			are of creatures are God's family
symbolically speaking. Or you may
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			say a better expression will be
dependent on others one over time.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			And the best of
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:43
			people best of humankind are those
who are helpful to the family of
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:48
			Allah to the dependents of Allah
subhanho wa taala. So here is an
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			opportunity for us. The Prophet
sallallahu sallam said, in a
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:57
			beautiful Hadith about seizing
opportunities, he said, a return
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:04
			him Hanson, Abraham's sees five
opportunities before the opposite.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			Before you are deprived of these
opportunities before they are
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:15
			taken away from you. Shabaab aka
Pablo Harami make use of the
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			YouTube vigor the strength that
you have
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:24
			to make creative contributions to
innovate, to do things that are a
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:29
			beneficiary that don't only
benefit you, but the community the
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			creation.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			You have to make use of that
youth. We cannot spend our youth
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			wasted away in facilities.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:45
			The youth has tremendous potential
in India we are the greatest human
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			resource but they are wasted.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:54
			They are wasting their hours
precious awards, doing nothing.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			Here is an opportunity for the
youth who have the means to
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:07
			create jobs, create opportunities,
to engage this human resources, to
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:12
			mentor them, to educate them, and
to teach them how to earn a
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			dignified
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:20
			how to be maintain their dignity
and honor by earning for
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:24
			themselves and earning for others
was to whatever Cabarrus have to
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:29
			be, make use of the health that
you enjoy, before sickness creeps
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:34
			in. Today, every day we are
hearing of people suddenly taken
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:41
			sick, taken ill they are carried
to the hospitals, and from their
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:46
			right to the butchery this is
happening in front of our eyes. So
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:51
			the lesson here is the health I
have the health you have. We need
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:57
			to use it now as we are to do
things that will earn a salvation
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			that will earn us the pleasure of
Allah subhanaw taala that will
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			also give a good reputation for
us. Because Allah spoke about his
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:10
			messengers, Prophet Abraham, Moses
and Jesus and others, that not
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:16
			only they lived a devoted life,
and that life dedicated to the
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			service will last one altar of
humanity. And God left them
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:25
			because of die in noble reputation
for them. The posterity is
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			remembered them, the generations
remember the man still remember
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:34
			them for the great work they have
done. So we need to see the
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:40
			opportunity to do something that I
leave behind the legacy of good
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			works, charitable work, acts of
kindness are my own little acts of
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:51
			kindness, while they knock out a
couple of fuckery make use of the
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			word that you have the richness
that you have, because it is taken
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			away from you because in debt but
it is taken away all the saving
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			that you have accumulated.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:07
			Doing this things that unethical
practices, you're not going to
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			take it with you to the grave.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:14
			Whatever will accompany you to the
grave is as Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			sallam said,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			your family will take you there,
your friends will take you there.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:26
			But nothing you're saving cannot
be taken there but the car may be
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:32
			driven there. But then you are
left alone with the work. So what
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			will benefit us sadaqa jariya an
ongoing charity and endowment we
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			set up
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:43
			human welfare institutions for
charitable work for all foragers
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:48
			for helping the poor, educating
the needy and services, hospital
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:53
			services. Today India is need of
all of these charitable services
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:58
			because it's collapsed, the system
has collapsed. And we can get the
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:04
			help of our physicians and experts
from Kerala and others how we can
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			mobilize how we can these
resources to help our countrymen
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:16
			because you say one country you
say why today this pandemic is not
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:21
			going to leave us so we cannot
leave them suffering and dying
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			every day like price. Rafa Cabrera
surely make use of the free time
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			you have before you are
preoccupied with sickness or
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:35
			whatever challenges beyond
control, while higher taka
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:40
			available to make use of the life
Allah has given you before he
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:46
			calls you back. Today every day we
ended up saying it not in LA he
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			was in LA he Raju
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:53
			we are from Allah, we come from
him and we are to go back to him.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			This is a lesson that God teaches
us in the Quran. Every single
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			creature crawling on the Earth
every bird frying, there are
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			communities like you. And then
Allah says, so may be him your
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			Sharon and they were all of them
will be gathered back to the
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:17
			Creator. So there is a
resurrection. There is a standing
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			before the Lord of the walls. So
let us make use of the
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			opportunities. The number one
enemy of humankind is this Orfila
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:34
			this heedlessness the tendency of
leading frog off the floor. Don't
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:42
			make waves. If you're in Rome, do
what Romans do. Very dangerous. We
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			need to organize our life around
the meaning and purpose of life.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			And the meaning and the purpose of
the life for a moral person for a
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:57
			religious person is that it is God
who created life and death.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			Hierarchical multiple higher
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Lea Morocco, Morocco Masano. Amara
in order to test who shall perform
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:11
			best and this performance God says
he's observing what will Yamato do
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:18
			good works. Let God watch you. Let
God see your work what work you
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:23
			are doing. And the work we are
doing is not simply offering some
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:28
			prayers turning to east or west
and performing some rituals. It is
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:34
			active acts of compassion, acts of
kindness, the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:39
			alayhi wa sallam His Prophet
towards word recognized by Khadija
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			really Levana by pointing to the
humanity of Rasulullah snarks
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			in Nakara pasillo. Rom,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:53
			what type of miracle What are in
our unavoidable you are a man God,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:59
			how can God forsaken man like you,
you are carrying the burden of
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			others
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:05
			rush to the 100 of the
destruction, the needy,
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			the sorrow rahang you foster the
ties of kinship,
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:16
			what actual model you work not
only to sustain yourself, but to
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			sustain our weak and the
vulnerable, sustain others. So
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:26
			this is Islam. Before Islam came
Rasul Allah, the Prophet of Allah
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			subhanho wa Taala was the best
human being recognized when
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:34
			Messiah comes so much so that even
Abuja said
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:40
			we cannot call you a liar. You are
the truth for one, but you know
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:44
			the message you have son, you have
preaching is too dangerous,
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:50
			because you are teaching us I am
biller or equal can never be I am
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			a Qureshi.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:58
			This is the message that we hear
are around in different forms. So
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			Islam came to bring their
compassion and justice and
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			brotherhood, teach a brotherhood
of humankind. And this is the
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:11
			message word nice to hear. I have
some heartwarming news from India,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:16
			from Gujarat, where the most that
were targeted for attacks, they
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			opened the doors to her.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			We are turned into COVID
hospitals, and beds everything is
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:30
			prepared for the patients.
Regardless, they don't ask whether
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			you are a Hindu or Christian
whatever. And this is love in
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:39
			action. This is the kind of proper
projection, the beauty of the
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:46
			message that we should teach, we
should go beyond this rituals. And
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			we have great opportunities for
that. So let us see the manga from
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:56
			Allah. Ramadan is the time as the
great poet said, A Tamela mother
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:01
			Aquila body, he thought that he
will be middle for Saudi Ramadan
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:07
			is here. It is the perfect time to
plant the seeds, seeds, spiritual
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			seeds.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:16
			And when you plant in time, and
nurture it with care, take care of
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:24
			it, you are going to reap good
harvest. But if you don't, if you
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			fail to plan and take care of the
plant and if you plan and fail to
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:33
			take care of it, you will regret
at the time of harvest. So far the
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:39
			whole cocoa how long my fella so
pay the dues of Ramadan in words
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:44
			and actions, how do we do that?
Ramadan is the perfect season for
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:49
			charitable works. The Prophet said
every single charitable deed,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:55
			whether it is monetary, financial,
or a kind word or anything that
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:00
			you do for the help of a suffering
human being a human being who is
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:05
			in need of it, that is an act of
devotion, act of worship in the
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			sight of Allah subhanaw taala we
will merit multiple rewards 70
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:14
			times more than when it is done in
other times and this is the time
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:21
			for the QA and so the cut all of
us have things to give inshallah.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:27
			Financially we should give with
chop it up. And we should those
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:32
			who cannot give still they have
talents. They have knowledge. They
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:37
			have things that they can make use
of whatever talents God has given
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:44
			us. God created everyone to serve
a niche, fill a niche and ask what
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:49
			is that niche that you can fill?
In this great curse crisis that
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:54
			humankind is facing? How can we
contribute to make life better? So
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			shake off your heedlessness
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			try to lead an examined life
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			Make use of the time, the hours of
the day and the hours of the night
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			in Milan.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:13
			We should intensify our vicar, or
meditation. How meditation are the
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:18
			Beautiful Names of Allah subhanaw
taala supplicating to Allah. Just
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:24
			don't be selfish to pray for
yourself alone. Pray for Allah to
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:31
			show mercy to lift this calamity,
this Woba this pandemic, from all
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:37
			of us. Pray for the suffering
humanity, regardless of religion,
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:43
			regardless of race, that is the
soul of Islam. So, make use of the
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:48
			right to power, the Night of Power
will fall in the old nights of
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			Ramadan. You know, Rasulullah
sallallahu wasallam came out to
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:59
			disclose the exact date, time for
the NATO power. But then as he
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:04
			came, Muslims some Sahaba were
engaged in wrangling and dispute.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			Allah subhanaw taala suddenly take
took away that blessings. And the
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:15
			Prophet said I came to announce
for tele half Mulan, Mulan, so on.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:20
			So we're arguing and fighting Of
course, if not fighting
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:24
			physically, so Allah to cover the
basics. So it is a lesson for the
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:29
			Muslims stop fighting, stop
bickering, stop separating each

mobilize the resources and let us
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:44
			do so and make use of the proceeds
of Ramadan. In terms supplication

another important thing is,

			Charity begins at home, fostering
the ties of kinship, fostering the

and reconcile those differences
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29

family. Let the children
