00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			and the character of a believer
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			is

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			You know, if you read the Quran
carefully,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			Allah subhanho wa Taala terraces
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:12
			human being is part of the
creation the nature all around us.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:20
			And the Quran teaches us that we
human beings must learn. And this
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			is what
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27
			distinguishes human being from the
rest of the creation is that we
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			have a moral conscience we have a
soul we have a mind. We can
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:36
			discriminate between good and bad,
and we have the ability to learn.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:43
			And the Quran mandates the
believers to continue to reflect
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			or learn
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			not only from the book of
revelation given to us, which we
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:57
			read and recite and chant, but
also from the Vironment the nature
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			around us from each and every
creature
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			To our creation of Allah subhanaw
taala the nature phenomena.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:10
			Allah says, There are signs for
you for reflection with your own
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:16
			source, and outside, in the
horizons in the creation.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:24
			And the Quran points to many, many
species of creature, creatures, to
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:31
			the and to the bee, to the cow to
the Carter, sun and moon and stars
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			and the camel, the spider the
insect.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:41
			So many cow, son of Adam was
taught
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:48
			through a cow. So, and Allah says
everywhere pointing to all these
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			different, you know, aspects of
nature phenomena,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:06:00
			there are signs for you in them to
ponder, reflect and learn.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:08
			So, even though we are
distinguished, we are dignified a
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			Children of Adam, and we have the
divine Brasi now,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:20
			still, we ought to learn from even
the humblest of God's creations
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			creatures.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:26
			And there is an entire Surah
called a nun Surah from natural
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			honeybee.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:34
			And the reason is, allows one out
Allah warned us to learn
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			wonderful lessons from this
insect.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			And the believer should be like a
honeybee.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			We should live in this world
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			eating only that which is pure and
wholesome,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:52
			ethical,
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			earn through hard labor,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			working hard
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			and then we can produce produce
only that which is pure and
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			wholesome. When we do so,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			when you lead a life
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			read the lessons from the honeybee
and live live a life
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:23
			of hard work team spirit, all
those things that we can learn
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			from this honey bee
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			that is called and when we die.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:35
			Living a life of eating that which
is pure producing that which is
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:39
			pure interacting with the
environment nature without
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			spoiling it, but enhancing it.
What happens
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			Rasulullah sallallahu Allah
subhanho wa Taala says under the
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:54
			motto of our Malayaka to Te Bina
Hakuna Salam aleikum, wa doko Jana

			TobyMac, condom Damaru those who
die
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			whose souls are taken by the
angels
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			in a state of purity.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:13
			Angels will greet them, Peace be
to you and you are eligible to
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:18
			enter the paradise that has been
prepared for you because of your
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:18
			good works.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:24
			The ayah in the Quran about the
bees let us reflect briefly on
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:30
			that. It is worth your prolonged
reflection because this wonderful
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:35
			creature of Allah subhanho wa
Taala Allah cite this as an
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:42
			example for us to learn lessons
from the wild Harab book I read.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:47
			Your lore inspires the bees, the

			tougher corrode in this is a sign
for those who reflect.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:51
			Honey Bee is a wonderful creature
of Allah subhanho wa taala. And
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:56
			there are many lessons that we can
learn from this creature. And that
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			is why the Prophet salallahu
Salam, compare the belief
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			Word to honeybee
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:06
			because the honeybee the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam is the
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			interpreter productions of the
Quran
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			he is taught by Allah, he's
reflecting on these verses, and
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			he's trying to transfer teach us
the lessons illustrate the lesson
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			from them for us.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:30
			The number one thing that allows
one or the other points out about
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:35
			the honeybee is that Allah created
this insect
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			to work hard
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:46
			and it has been inspired. It has a
built in mechanism to see the
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:52
			direction and communicate the
direction for the fellow bees. And
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:56
			he Trowers It is said that the
honeybee
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:04
			55,000 miles it travels.
Collectively they travel about
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:10
			55,000 miles and collect nectar
from 2 million plants.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			And it is said
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:21
			that honey bee collects only from
the purest first class
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:28
			plans, it award the second class
and that's why the profits are
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:34
			allowed. It's only that which is
pure and wholesome. It leaves
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:39
			alone it doesn't touch the second
class. So it has to be freshest.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			It has to be pure.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:49
			And it leaves alone. Even it fires
on that branch or Craig. It
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:53
			doesn't bend it, it doesn't break
it, it doesn't foil it.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			And you know it does this work
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			without expecting any return.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			This is how the believer should be
allowed one or the terraces work
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			Coulier muddle work hard.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:15
			Let Allah see your actions and
work without expecting any reward
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19
			except the reward from allows
borotra which will automatically
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			you will receive it
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:27
			but your goal should be to work.
That's what honey bee does. It
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			does that pollination and it is
actually not expecting anything
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:37
			but actually benefits the
environmental benefit itself. So
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:41
			that is the lesson the profits are
Lola swim is teaching us
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			whatever good we do
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:49
			we it will, we will gain the
benefit from it.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:55
			Even the example of the hour is
approaching and you are holding a
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			ceiling in your hand to planned
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:05
			one the hour is approaching. If
you're holding a seedling to plan,
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			don't leave the place until you
finish planting it.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:14
			So, this is don't expect any
material reward in this world
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18
			because you are not going to
benefit from it. So you have to we
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:25
			have to do like this we have to
continue working and also the team
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29
			spirit which is another quality
wrestlers allows for size muscle
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:36
			Remo Marina, feet award the Moto
Rahami muscle just muscle mobile
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40
			album in a woman a carbon yarn, a
believer
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:46
			you know stand beside another
believer like structure. So this
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:50
			community, you know the bees
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:57
			each individual bee lives for the
collective community of beasts and
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:03
			the community is also for the
individual. So there is this each
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:09
			one for all and are for each one.
And this is the kind of community
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:15
			that Allah wants us to be to form
benefiting each other cooperating
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:18
			with each other working hard
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			the honey be busy like be of
course this doesn't mean that they
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			don't rest the rest. But they
focus
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:33
			efficiency, which also lists allow
some also emphasize
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:40
			a little kind of Rama Lala Hassan
whatever work we do, we need to do
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			it with efficiency.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:48
			And efficiency can only happen
when each one try to excel in one
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			area and do it as best as you can.
This is what we learn from the
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:57
			bees. The female has a job male as
a job and among them various
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			categories. Nurse may do
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			Those who keep the high hives and
those who clean it those who you
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:10
			know the if once you know group a
bunch of bees cannot perform the
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			other state
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:18
			compliment, take on the work. So,
the work shall continue and they
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:23
			are doing it without expecting any
individual return for themselves
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:28
			or for each other for the benefit
of the community. So this is how
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			Islam want us
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:36
			to cooperate with one another to
work and also another beautiful
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			thing to learn from the honeybees,
they evolve,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:45
			they are flexible, they are adapt,
and Islam has this great quality
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:50
			of integration able to integrate
with different races and and
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:56
			nations and ethnicities. But today
Muslims are losing it somehow. We
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:01
			this is another thing we learn
from the honeybee, you locate them
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:06
			to another environment, of course,
they go out and explore it and
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10
			within an hour, they say less than
an hour they start working, they
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:15
			are completely familiarized with
the environment. So, this is
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:19
			another quality we need to learn
from, because Rasulullah
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:24
			sallallahu wasallam said A
believer is jovial, it is
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:30
			flexible, he is social, he adapts
himself, you know to everyone he
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			come in jovial with everybody. So
Sharia
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:39
			law, higher female liability for
law you will have. So wherever we
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:43
			are, whichever community we are,
we need to introduce each other we
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:48
			need to get to know each other we
need to and when we act like this,
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:55
			what happens we enhance the

			them are those who are most
helpful to the creation of allowes
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:30
			Baraka Allah. The Prophet
sallallahu wasallam said, a
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			believer interacting with the
nature
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			while enhancing the nature

			Wherever he go pa, one epoch
passes goes through that forest,
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:53
			or by the side of the river, or on
the mountain, every level of the
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			creation of Allah subhanaw taala
will greet him or her
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			and praying for that person.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:08
			Because this is a man, this is a
woman, this is a person who don't
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:13
			know destroy your environment,
like that honey bee, they fall on
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:17
			that branch without breaking it,
or spoiling it and leaves it
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:23
			intact and enhance enhances the
quality of life. The that flower
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			is enhance regeneration process
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:31
			enhanced. So, this is the kind of
life we need to leave for
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:36
			ourselves, we cannot leave for
ourselves. And another important
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:42
			thing the prophets want us speak
that which is pure and good. Eat
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:49
			that which is good and pure, not
just eating halal meat ethically
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:55
			earned, just work hard and earn
this is what I have, we are as
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:01
			believers to do work hard and earn
living life you know the prophets
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:07
			are allowed some use kiss the hand
of working person saying this
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:12
			these are the hands that Allah and
His Messenger louse. So, that is
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:16
			why eating that which is pure
drinking that which is all pure
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:23
			and crossing with the money using
the money buying the cross by the
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:29
			money that has been earned through
halaal. Ethical means when we do
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:35
			so, we become you know eligible to
enter paradise dangerous will
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:39
			greet us all of the creation will
pray for us. May Allah subhanaw
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:44
			taala help us to reflect on the
beautiful lessons of the Quran and
