Ali Albarghouthi – Heart Therapy 37 – Laughter And The Heart

Ali Albarghouthi

Explanation of the 37th hadith in the Heart Therapy Series:

The Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam said: (Who will take these statements from me to apply them or teach them to one who will apply them?) Abu Hurairah said: (I shall O Messenger of Allah.) So he took my hand and enumerated five and said: (Avoid the unlawful and you will be the best worshipper among people. Be satisfied with what Allah allotted for you and you will be the richest of people. Be kind to your neighbor and you will be a believer. Love for the people what you love for yourself and you will be a Muslim. And do not laugh too much, for indeed excessive laughter kills the heart.)

Reported by al-Tirmidhi (2305) and ibn Majah (4217). Ibn Hajar declared it to be hasan and so did al-Albani (al-Silsilah al-Sahihah 930).

The importance of understanding the profit solution and creating a habit of thinking about it is emphasized in Islam. The need for physical contact and teaching others to use it in their learning process is emphasized, along with the importance of not overthinking emotions and not exaggerating. The conversation is not a call to action, but rather a discussion of potential merger between two companies.

			So, tonight, Heidi
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:37

00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			where the prophets Allah sent him is going to tell us five things.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:02:08
			But before that he asks Abu hora Iran or asks in general in fact, in probably a group of companions,

gives this heading. So let's go through it and find out in sha Allah at the end. How does this

00:03:08 --> 00:03:31
			So here the prophets Allah He sent him he of course is asking the general audience and the
companions when you hold on the holidays, getting my tool receive these statements from me for a
movie when and he will apply them. I'm Anna, Marina, he will apply them. Are you only woman Yamato
be him? No, he will teach them to someone who will apply them.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:04:00
			So who's going to take these five sentences five statements from me in order to do one of two
things? Take them to apply them himself or to teach them to someone else who will apply them? For
Karla Bora Bora Bora rossetto to an IRS to ally and I will do this problem a lot. This proposition
this proposal of yours, I will take it I will accept it that condition that you had called God, he
held my hand.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:06
			He enumerated five counted five. These are the statements.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:12
			He said that the Mahatma takuna but then he says avoid the haraam.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:37
			And you will be the best of worshipers. The best of people who worship Allah Subhan Allah than us

			Well, Hey, buddy nursey Matt have a Boolean of secret token muslima and love for people, what you
love for yourself and you will be able to
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			sillim
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:11
			what it looks like very naked photography to me to calm and avoid excessive laughter for excessive
laughter kills the heart.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:35
			So here we see that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam has five statements, of course, all of them to one
degree or the other has to do with the heart. All of them because all the halaal and all the all the
al Qaeda has to do with the heart, definitely. But the one that is explicit about it is the last
one. So that's the last one inshallah, then we will deal with.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:44
			So, in this study, the first thing that you see from the prophet SAW a lot he was hitting them, and
we pointed that before
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			the Prophet as a teacher.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:06:11
			So if you're a teacher, if you want to teach, if you have children, even adults, and we want to
share knowledge with them, Listen to how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would do it, and
copy him, because he is the best of teachers, copy what he's doing the methods. So how many things
do we notice here that he does a lot of you are similar in methods of teaching.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			can count how many? How many? Can you count?
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:23
			I didn't even actually previously Think about it. I just thought like, okay, let's count as many as
we can. We count one,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:30
			two, maybe we can say three, but at least two main ones. The first one is a question.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			And the second one is their physical contact.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:41
			So the question, why did he say a lot? He would send them ask a question, of course, to
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:48
			raise everybody's interest or to pique their interest, something is coming. So he asks a question.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:10
			But that question also is not about interest only. And the loss of Hannah Valley uses that in the
Quran. was saying that your particular Madoka methodic. Right. What will make you think what our
product does not explain why. So that you will think you'll wonder, you would want to know, there's
anticipation, so that when you create anticipation when you ask a question.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:25
			So that's important when you're teaching anyone, but the profit solution also is doing something
that is more than that. He's creating the groundwork for the acceptance of what is what follows, is
not just asking a question, who's ready to receive?
		
00:07:26 --> 00:08:05
			And what is the condition here for reception of this now that that is going to come? You have to do
one of two things. Either you are taking it to apply it or you're taking it also to teach it. So
we'll talk about that. So that's the first method, asking a question laying the groundwork for what
is going to come later, who's ready and who's not. The second thing is the physical contact of the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam is well known for holding somebody's shoulder holding somebody standing
here holding holding his hand and counting five, the first one, second one, the third one, right?
What does that help you? What does it help you to do?
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:26
			Keep track remember, right, you won't forget, when somebody holds your hand like that, and counts
these five things. More likely that you will remember it that becomes otherwise why you could just
verbally you know, numerate the five but no with hand. And that also that physical contact as a
teacher, of course, when appropriate, right is important.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			So that's the prophets always seen him as a teacher.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			The first thing that he was teaching is there is element, knowledge and action.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:43
			And we as Muslims, we understand, I think we've talked about this before we understand that what is
the purpose of AI?
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			Ultimately, why do you learn
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:24
			to use it, to apply it, to change your life with it? It's not just knowledge for the sake of
knowledge, and that is it. I want to know simply because I want to know, no, this is a knowledge of
Allah Subhana Allah to Allah revealed literally janessa mina buruma Tina No, so that people will be
rescued from darknesses and into life. There's always movement, there's always something physical
happening on the ground. It's not just let me sit and learn. That's why the prophets Allah sent me
saying, I'm not just gonna give you this, who is going to take it to do something with it. I'm not
just going to share this with you, who's taken it to do something with it. So there has to be our
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:32
			objective, from everything that we learn. In Salatu Juma when you come, you know, to listen to the
Hulk while you're listening to the
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:59
			other than the obligation, right? I know sometimes, you know, your word number is coming to the zoo.
Like with zombies, right come to the demo, we sit down the center and the violent very, very numb
because very repetitive, right? We don't we're not waiting for anything. I'm just waiting for it to
be over so I can go back and do something else. But if you approach it with, I want to learn
something one thing from it, that I can take with me teach Juma experience will be different
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:43
			My experience will be different. Right? Maybe I mentioned this before, in one of the AMA, he said,
You know, he gives what was and also, you know, he's also a scholar. So he says, you know, he said,
I was unfortunate one of those times to be stuck behind an Imam. You know, that was terrible in his
football. I couldn't like take it. I like either he's repetitive or doesn't know what he's talking
etc, etc. So the next time I decided that we're going to be stuck, listening to him, I decided I'm
going to concentrate. And I'm going to really listen, and maybe I will get something from it. So he
said, he struggled with himself. And if you know, like, if you have something, to listen to someone
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			else, who is not at the same level, it's very difficult.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:17
			So he said, I sat and I listened, and I listened carefully. And he says, I did benefit because he
said, from that hope, I developed a series of hoppers from listening to it. Right, I was able to
extend it into maybe felt that there is something missing or some nice point there is that I took
that and developed a series of podcasts from it. So it all depends on your attitude. So how much are
we going to get from the Quran and from the Prophet sallallahu Sallam depends on how ready we are to
apply what is in them.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:32
			And that was Subhanallah, the attitude of the setup the attitude of the Sahaba, I'll share with you
a couple of statements from them. So with that out of the Allahu anhu said in America at NFC, and
you call me either Oh, Susanna is here.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			For you call Amanda. I'm into female.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:57
			So the devil the Allahu anhu says the thing I fear the most is done in front of everybody. Meaning
on the Day of Judgment. I'll be asked here a woman. This is you know his name. Hal alimta, did you
know? Did you have knowledge? And you weren't ignorant? Did you know? And he says, Yes, for your
car, or will be said to me? What did you do with what you know?
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:05
			In front of everybody? So what is my answer? Because I cannot plead ignorance. I know.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:29
			So what was the objective? Why did I learn all of this? Why did I sit in this halaqaat? Why did I
sit and listen to the hook? Why? Why did I read this book? Why did I listen to this shape and that
shape? What is the purpose of all of it? So if a person approaches with the intention of I want to
learn, in order to apply, Allah blesses that knowledge for him, and it stays with him? And if not,
what happens to this knowledge,
		
00:12:31 --> 00:13:02
			goes, goes away, doesn't stay with him. First of all, the bulk of that knowledge is not there. If
there is no physical application, or at least teaching that knowledge at the prophets of Allah, you
said to them, and said, if there's none of that, the Baraka of that knowledge is not there. Second
of all, he will forget it says a few 130 says, yet the food animal animal trainer, Java who were
enough to help this is a very famous statement. He says, knowledge calls upon action, like it's
calling it's named come
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:26
			find a Java who if it answers in what the * otherwise knowledge will just leave you forget about
it. How did that you've heard five years ago, 10 years ago, we did not apply, you will listen to it
again, it's just like as if it's new. Same thing with the hora. And same thing with any piece of
information, you don't apply it, we'll forget about it. So the intention should be undertaking to
apply.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:39
			And if someone does that, you will find some analog that you have. If you divide your time between a
man and man, you won't have time to do other things. Because you just busy with either learning or
applying what you know.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:49
			What if, for some reason I can't apply application part is missing. The Prophet sallallahu wasallam
gives you an alternative.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			So you either apply it or you teach it.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			At least you teach it.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			Why do you teach it
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			because someone else
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:41
			someone else will apply it somebody else will listen to it, maybe I'm not the fortunate one will be
able to apply it and process it and understand it and benefit from it. But someone else can and you
can benefit them you can save their life with it, they can say save somebody's life with it. So this
is the attitude of the Muslim, right? You learn, you apply and you teach at the application part is
missing. For whatever reason. ask Allah Subhana Allah for forgiveness, but at least that teaching
part shouldn't be absent. At least you convey that how do you convey that you convey that knowledge
and you ask a last panel with data to improve to help you improve.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:51
			So this is what the prophet sallallahu wasallam is laying the groundwork for. Amen, amen. He's just
keeping that in mind.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:58
			So he took his hand and he said Would the first thing Mahatma tackle now but then NUS
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:21
			Instead avoid the Halong and you will be of the best of the worshipers. Best worshipers so if you
want to ask the question how can I be a best slave of Allah subhanho the best of the slaves of Allah
the best worshipper of our last panel data How can I be prophets of Allah who sent him says it
doesn't matter avoid the Hara
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			avoid the Hara.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:16:14
			Now why is that the case it's haram and what's the importance of leaving the hat on now a lot of us
if you tell us what is a bad bite naturally right what is a betta you'll name? Salah sia by fasting
charity omega hedge saying nice words and all of this and sometimes actually we are very restrictive
when it comes to the definition of a betta you notice that among some of us there's like an
imbalance rather than thinking that a better is sort of this comprehensive name that anything that
Allah loves is under it rather than thinking that we should be selective in our a better So the
example I thought of you know, some people think there is a better but kindness to their families is
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:18
			not right. kindness to your neighbor is not
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:30
			okay a smile is not the better so not only is a better fastball is a better because only in a better
a better isn't in the masjid but outside the MR Gong torque is not a birder
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			the other side does the opposite
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:39
			tell you like sometimes you know Your smile is a better but they don't think about their Salah
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:46
			your good treatment your kindness to others is a valid they don't think about fasting or Zika they
come across this and
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:59
			it's really you know, a bad day is just how you treat other people. That's it. Dinner mama that's
what they say right demon mama that's it. Well, how about Dean when it comes to Allah subhana wa
Tada. So this is a deficient
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:06
			incomplete definition of a bad and the other one also is deficient. Incomplete a bad is not only
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:30
			your relationship with our last panel without it's also your relationship with humanity as well to
please Allah does not happen Lockwood, a bass player while also is a data. So all of this is a
better everything that is done, that Allah loves and is done for his sake is a better, right, that's
the comprehensive definition of a better. So first of all, we have to liberate ourselves from our
own definitions.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:48
			Our own definition, our own bias, sometimes it's a cultural definition. Sometimes you find the
sooner in some areas, right, especially if it's innovated becomes more of a burden and more of an
important a better than the obligation. So domestic for instance, right?
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:58
			The prayer of the middle of Shabbat. You know, as as an example, you'll find that in some places the
minister will be full for that saga, but not fulfill the obligation.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:11
			Okay, so this is what an imbalance understanding of the word voluntary, although it's an activated
app, but even let's assume it's voluntary, becomes more important than the last panel without it had
legislated and obligated.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:22
			So a burger is everything that Allah loves. But when defining a bird also we forget that leaving the
harem itself is a bad
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:29
			leaving the harm that Allah hates is also part of a better Why is that?
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			What is the motivation behind leaving what Allah hates?
		
00:18:38 --> 00:19:21
			pleasing Allah, so there is love of Allah. There is fear of Allah. Right. And there is hope for
Jinnah and three things that will motivate you to live a better one, although you're not a believer,
but I'm sorry to leave the hoorah. One for instance, although you desire it, and we're not talking
about her on that you don't desire, there's no reward in it right? You know, what is it the harm
that a person doesn't, I don't know, I don't kill so and so I don't even want to kill so and so
that's not hard on when we're talking about it, but the hard on that you desire to do, what's the
thing that stops you from doing it either loving Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, or fearing his
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:33
			punishment or hoping from agenda or the combination of all the three, that itself is either that
fear of Allah, that love of Allah, that hope agenda that is all a better so when you leave this hat
on, that is a banner.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:40
			So anything and every time your soul calls you to do something that is wrong.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:59
			Remember that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is saying that this obeying yourself and this obeying
your the temptations of this dunya and disobeying the whispers of the chiffon and emerging
victorious against all of these is a better that Allah subhana wa tada loves, and it's not the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:21
			All right. So the answer them at first solo investing and all of this but also leaving the hat on.
Why is that important because when you don't define a bad as leaving the hat on, what will happen is
that he will do all that what a lot obligates to the best of your ability. You'll miss some and not
others, but when it comes to the heart on what happens
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:23
			to do it,
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:30
			because it's not any better. My bad days what my bad is just to pray, how about lying?
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:49
			Okay, how about a cheating, embezzlement? That's okay. I will be fasting. But not fasting from
gossip or not fasting from backbiting, not fasting. I'm looking at the heart on why because I've
restricted the meaning of a betta to this and not that.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:56
			Right. So there's this statement from Oman Abdel Aziz
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:21
			that resonates with whatever what what the prophet sallallahu Sallam is saying, he says, they said
the pay you the money accumulator, we assume on the heart for my little Filipina Daddy, in them and
without the menu added for a steady boon. Muharram infallible the delicate Hydra for Ohio, in Ohio.
He says the top three the person who has taqwa is not the person who worships at night, and fast the
day and then spins in between
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			is that's not the poor.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:30
			So what is there is positive performance of a better when it comes to sin does he avoided? No, he
says that's not
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:37
			in the majority, the person was turquoise, don't Buddhists the obligations and avoids the harem?
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:45
			And if he does anything good after that, then it is good upon good. But what is he taking care of?
		
00:21:46 --> 00:22:06
			The basics? The basics, right? What is the basic, whatever Allah has obligated you do and what Allah
has prohibited, us don't do. And you concentrate on that. Concentrate on that. And if you do that,
you are the best people who worship Allah subhana wa Tada.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:20
			What we do sometimes is that we concentrate on what we concentrate and put our energy on the
voluntary pmla, as we said, formulae and fasting. But we don't pay attention that you should leave
the hat on.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:23:04
			So the energy is directed there. We don't pay attention that we should leave the hat on. No. That's
the misdirected energy misdirected focus. You follow what I'm saying? It's a misdirected energy. I'm
going to focus on the voluntary and take care of like somebody we're going to talk about the
neighbor, somebody who's nice to their neighbors, nasty to his parents. Makes sense. Right? These
are like misplaced priorities, what I'm going to the people that I should respect the most, and
dishonouring them and to a person who is not as close to me and honoring him. That can be right.
misplaced priority. So your priority and my priority should be not my own. But Alice.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:27
			So Alice priorities, leave the hat on. Not do whatever these voluntary non voluntary acts could help
you leave the hat on, but your focus is on the hat on, leave it. And when you leave the hat on, and
you do the obligations, you're ready for what comes after. What's the problem? I'm gonna ask you,
what's the problem if I'm doing these voluntary nice acts, but I'm also sitting at the same time.
What's the problem with that?
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:47
			Definitely, you're destroying what you're building a burning house, and then I'm wasting the
hustler. I'm earning 10 good deeds and then 10 bad deeds just cancel what I've just done. And at
this, the second thing that they do is that they corrupt the heart.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:24:09
			So the heart has these two forces in it right, the forces of Hillel and the forces of heart and the
forces of Allah's obedience, and the forces of Allah disobedience, so the heart is not clear and
pure yet, because the Heron has also a place in it. So Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you to cleanse
the heart, avoid all sin and then build on top of that the voluntary.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			Now maybe we can do everything.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:50
			But if it's one or the other, focus on leaving the hat on first, and give it more attention than
voluntary acts. Right? That's where the attention comes. Whatever Allah subhanho wa Taala emphasizes
is the thing that we emphasize. And so I think he said he said, in that sort of any other magical
robot movie he went through Kuhlman, he on the phone, he says, most of the children of Adam will do
some of what is obligated on them somewhat Allah commanded most of the children or Adam will do it.
But the people who will leave what is forbidden or the subject,
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:57
			what is this? The highest level, to leave truly what Allah has forbidden. That's the person of what
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			otherwise obeying Allah supplied
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:29
			With data you will find the most of the most of Muslims. The vanilla, most of Muslims will pray,
pray, but only fair play evenly free, but they will pray somewhat. They'll give some bazooka, they
will fast, they will do some stuff but leaving the hat on. That is the pious person, even if their
event is not as good as the better brothers. They don't create it. You know, at night all the time,
they don't fast often, even if they're a better is not as good as others. But if they leave the hat
on, they better worshippers of our last parameter.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:36
			So that's the first thing that of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is teaching.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:41
			The second thing was Gabi Maka samalla, who will
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:48
			be happy with what Allah subhana wa Taala has given you, you will be the richest of people.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:26:01
			Just be happy with what a Lost Planet Allah has given you. And Subhanallah it's interesting, because
if you ask if you ask us, like part, at least part of us, do you want to be the richest of people?
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:30
			Yeah, right. Yes, I want to be the richest of people, I want to be very rich. So the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam. Here is actually this is like if you saw, right, he's like summarizing this
whole thing for you. You don't have to take first x text, the second, third, fourth, fifth, until
this to discover at the end of your life or the profits of all these enemies telling you now, right?
So the Prophet is teaching you what a rich person would have to spend their entire life to learn.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:37
			Listen to teaching you to right now. Because a rich person would think that their happiness is in
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			wealth and money. So they will go and earn.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:27:13
			And is it enough about this isn't enough? No, it's not enough. So we'll go and earn more and then he
will compete with other people. And he will try to destroy them and they will try to destroy him. So
he'll never really happy or has a peace of mind. And he will keep earning and earning and earning,
losing, being happy, being unhappy, sad, angry, frustrated, till he comes to the end of his life.
And at the end of his life, he'll look back at everything that he has done. And he will ask himself
Why did I do all of this?
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:20
			Like actually, why did I do all of this? Why did I collect all of this? For what if I'm going to
die?
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:27
			And he'll feel that he has wasted his life? Because he has collected what he cannot keep with it.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			So did he achieve happiness?
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:40
			That's why we want to be happy most of the time. When you think about it. Why is it that you want to
be happy? Do you ask yourself why is it that you want to be happy? I'm sorry, why is it that you
want to be rich?
		
00:27:43 --> 00:28:02
			Just to be happy? I think this is going to buy me happiness. I can buy whatever I want I can travel
wherever I want right I can do whatever I want that's happiness. So if I if the panel if somebody
tells you condition is gonna you're gonna receive these millions of dollars but coming with them a
guarantee that you'll be miserable Lee take it.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:10
			Who wants it? I only want money to be happy. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is telling you it's
not they're
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:38
			running after it like that. It's not going to bring you happiness okay prophet of Allah sallallahu
sallam, what is the thing that is going to bring me happiness? Then I ran after this live and it's
not working, I saw others run after it. And it's not working. What is it the thing that will bring
me happiness is who has them alone, be happy, contented with what Allah has given him, you will be
the richest of people and if you're the richest of people, you are the happiest of people.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:44
			So why is it that when you are contented with what Allah has given you, you'll be the richest of
people
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:51
			rich you know being rich or being affluent or being poor have to do with need
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			right?
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			So the poor person is the person who is in need
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:07
			and the rich person who typically is the person who does not need anything because everything that
they need the habits with them right so they don't need other people.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:12
			So the prophets of Allah Islam is saying that if you are happy with what Allah has given you
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:19
			you have eliminated what need eliminated meat
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:29
			so it's for the rich person no matter how millions or billions he may or she may have if they still
need are they rich? No.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:59
			Really, if you think about it even logically right that's why they say that the rich person will
live like a poor person not in not in lifestyle, but in the heart will live like a poor person
because they always will feel that they don't have enough I don't have enough which is exactly what
a professional fee I don't have enough. What if tomorrow I don't have enough What if I lose my money
or I even have millions? What if I lose money? What if I put in next thing I work somebody outbid me
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			Somebody outsmarts me and he takes everything or I'm not as rich as so on the inside this person is
poor.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			And if he is four, is he happy?
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:16
			Absolutely not. That's why money doesn't buy happiness, because this person is always in need.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:30
			So the profit alone isn't me saying what I feel that need on the inside. And though you may not have
a lot, you will live as if you are the richest person. Because you will look at this person, and
they'll be walking.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:39
			They won't be looking left and right, we'll look at this beautiful car, this big house. Look at that
nice suit nice back. Well, they look.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:49
			I don't know, we'll couillard right, we look okay, look at this one, beautiful this and that. But
this person who's happy with what Allah has given you does not look anymore.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:31:03
			And in fact, restrains his eyes so that they don't look. Why. Because he's just happy with what
Allah has given him. And he will fear or she will fear that if I keep looking everywhere, I will
look down at what Allah has given me.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:45
			Is that right? Always that's causing the comparison between what I'm wearing and what they are
wearing. My big house in their mind, their big house in my small house, their nice car and my
napkin, so nice car. So it always holds this comparison. So he's not looking, he's not interested.
He's happy with our law has. So he's walking on this earth, not with arrogance, but with dignity.
Somebody comes and tells him, here's money, so I don't need it. I'm not running after somebody tells
him here's the dounia. But with how long he says keep it, I don't need it. The way that he acts, the
way that she talks is like they own this entire world. And they may not have a lot, but they own
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			their entire world in their bank account.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51
			And this is because they are happy with what Allah subhana wa tada had given them.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			Why should they be happy with what Allah has given them?
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:57
			Why?
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:06
			Now, I mean, Bill's email, but what do we know about Allah subhanho wa Taala. That makes us happy
with what Allah has given us.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:10
			I'm sorry.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14
			So it's a test.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:20
			So first,
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:34
			to test everything that Allah gives to you, is a test to stay Who among you is thankful and who's
not who's one who is patient and it was not. So it's not first an indication of Allah's love or
hatred that Allah gave you or did not give you.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:40
			Second of all, the way that we're the thing that will make you happy with what Allah has given you,
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:47
			is to know that this is a gift from the most twice at hacking.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:33:12
			And hacking gives in appropriate proportion to the one who needs it in the way that he needs it and
the time that he needs it in the place that he needs it. Not more than knotless this is what Hakeem
does. So when you think about it, you will say to yourself, Allah has given me at this moment in
life. Right? What I need Exactly.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15
			more of it would be good.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:34:01
			No, less of it would be good to know exactly what Allah subhanaw taala had given me. That is the
best thing this is like medicine, like go into a doctor and he's saying, you know, take two pills.
It doesn't make to take three or four or five can kill you. It doesn't mean take one or half a pill
won't help you. It means take exactly to that is if you trust doctors with you shouldn't always
trust doctors. But anyway, sorry if you're a doctor. But right, I'm saying is whatever law whatever
Allah subhana wa Taala prescribes is what has given to you in your life. That's what makes you
comfortable with what Allah subhana wa tada had given knowing that if he were to oppose Allah as
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:13
			well and actually seek or desire let's say desire something that last panatela did not get to be
desiring what is harmful and what is not going to work for you. It simply does not work is going to
destroy you.
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:52
			So this is what will bring happiness over the last panel Donna has allotted for us and of course
also thinking about the fact that you may lose it. The fact that okay, what if I don't have this
right now will make you recognize how important it is. What if I don't have my health? What if I
don't have my children? What if I don't have this thing I'm complaining about is not in my life?
Well, I miss it. And if you think yes, I will miss it though. I'm complaining about it, but I will
miss it. If I completely didn't have it in my life. Then you will thank Allah subhanho wa Taala for
it. So Pamela, you are dealing with that Hakeem COVID the old knowing the old wives who gives you
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			for a reason. So Pamela
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			now we'll take the next two together less than either
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:12
			jerrica como Mina, betina symmetric a Boolean of secret Muslim. So be kind to your neighbor and you
will be a believer and look for others what you love for yourself and you will be a Muslim.
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:26
			So you will note, in this hadith and in other headings from the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that the
Prophet makes one of the main features of Islam is that you love
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:31
			right is that you love for people what you love for yourself.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:53
			Which is the power law amazing when you think about it, because it's not only this headache, it's an
other Hadeeth as well. And if Allah subhanho wa Taala, you know, gives the time and you know,
sustains and supports inshallah, there was this is one topic I want to talk about in some detail,
but later veillonella which is about loving Islam.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:54
			Right?
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			People think there is no love in Islam.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:11
			Like Islam is the opposite of love, or love or Islam is just is devoid an absence of any type of
love. Here the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is saying Islam This is the way you defining it is that you
learn
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:19
			by even if we stop and we say Islam is love would be right. Islam is to learn for people what you
love for yourself.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:28
			This is how a person becomes a Muslim, continues their Islam expresses their Islam now,
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:42
			and to him very nasty love two people, or four people. So spend time online and commentary in the
Hadith he says this could refer to believers, or non believers as well. And he
		
00:36:43 --> 00:37:27
			could be a woman who can he loves for other Muslims. Only nothing Africa, he loves for all people,
Muslims or non Muslims or he loves for himself. He says that he loves that everybody would be
Muslim, and everybody would be guided and every sinful person would repent and become obedient to
Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that every person would go to Jenna and that every person would be
placed there, right? Is there something to stop us from this? No. Yeah, you desire the best for
everybody. And they are Muslims to be that they be closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala they are not
Muslim, that they be guided to Islam. See, you love for them what you love for yourself. And that is
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:33
			the mark of the Muslim. So the mark of the Muslim is not a person who is waiting
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:37
			for the worst to happen to someone else.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:46
			Yeah, and he filled with hatred. And somebody did something that to me, somebody insulted me,
somebody took something that belongs to me.
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:52
			The best feeling to have is not to be trapped by my anger,
		
00:37:53 --> 00:38:02
			and desire for revenge and say, I want to wait for a time where I will see that Allah will destroy
him. And you keep waiting for it. And you waiting for it and waiting for it.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:05
			Are you happy?
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:31
			Yeah. You're not happy? You've been punished? Because of that feeling. I mean, no one else is
punishing you except yourself. You're punishing yourself because of it. You know, I've heard some
people right and you know, the we go through this the same thing. I say so and so had been so bad
for me. And I've been waiting for a lot to do something terrible to them. I've been used. What's
happening? Why hasn't it happened? Are you waiting?
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:43
			Why are you tormenting yourself that you want Allah subhanaw taala to punish them in this way. And
that way, they may have forgotten about this and you're the one who is suffering, forget about it.
Forget about it, forgive,
		
00:38:44 --> 00:39:01
			forgive, because when you forgive, you're able to transcend that pain, transcend that anger, and you
will live a peaceful life. I don't want to see him die I don't want to see and punish. I don't want
to see him tormented What good is that gonna bring to me? But let me say that he ALLAH forgive them.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:14
			Forgive them and make whatever I went through right purification and elevation for me. And give me
patience and wisdom to be able to respond like that the next day and move on.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:29
			Does it harm you doesn't harm me If Allah subhanaw taala guides this person guides this person
right? And he repents from that thing that he has done to you. And Allah accepts his repentance. It
takes you both to gender, does it harm you in any way?
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:59
			So it's better to think this way, rather than think I'm just waiting for something bad to happen to
him and when will this bad thing happened to see in the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam it
says the attack Allahu Allah subhana wa Taala smiles at two men, right? One of them is a believer
one way or the other one is a non believer. So they were fighting in a battle the non believer kills
the believer so the believer goes to where? Jenna then the non believer the Kappa
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:24
			Later accepts Islam and he fights in a battle gets killed and he goes to Jenna so Allah subhanaw
taala smiles the dead Why does he smile that because he's happy with it. He's happy with it happy
with the fact that this person right he lost his life for the sake of Allah subhana wa tada but the
other person also didn't go to Jana. So there's always a way and what is worse than killing a
Muslim?
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:51
			Right so the person who has done whatever has done to you, there's always a way for them to go back
to Allah subhana wa Tada. So there is no need for you to have all of this anger and animosity and
hatred, right. And fire burning inside. That is a thing that brings disease to your life into your
heart By the way, but rather, nobody sleeps better as it Tamia Annie Rahim Allah said, you will not
sleep better than if you forgive,
		
00:40:53 --> 00:41:21
			not seek or await revenge, but you forgive completely because he said you'll sleep sound asleep and
you will love it will be so comfortable. Whereas the person who is waiting for revenge will never be
at peace will never be at peace. So this is from the wisdom of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam look
for yours for people what you love for yourself and part of the thing that you would love for people
as you would love it for yourself that if I make a mistake, that I want people to forgive me or Wish
me the worst.
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:26
			Forgive you do I want people to make against me or for me,
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:36
			for me to do the same thing. As much as you pass those pins possible, do the same thing when it
happens with others and you will find that you will live better inshallah.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			So wishing for them the best.
		
00:41:41 --> 00:42:10
			Now the next step after wishing the best is being kind, Watson either god catacomb Amina. So here
the woman is not only satisfied with the best of wishes, he has, or she has these best of wishes to
everybody around them. But now he translate these wishes into action as an energetic, ethical momina
Be kind to your neighbor, and you would have demonstrated your email and your Islam in action.
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:45
			Because it takes effort to be kind especially kind all the time to overcome your anxiety to overcome
the whispers of the shavon to overcome your hesitation to overcome you know that harassment of
others and to be kind especially to those who are closest to you. Who may let's let's be honest me
and know your time. Right? Why is it easier to be nicer to Brother so and so and sister so and so in
the message rather than your spouse or your children at home? Or your parents? Why is it?
		
00:42:48 --> 00:43:02
			Yeah, I know you. They could be annoying at times, right? They say some stuff that hurt you. Right?
They're always there. Right? This person I don't have to see him all the time. Somali Kamali comes
on five minutes, I can tolerate five minutes, but they're always there.
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:20
			And sometimes they're nice. And other times they're nicer. And my neighbor is the same way. Right?
Why is it difficult to be nicer to your neighbor versus a stranger because a stranger, I see him on
occasion and that is it. No much interaction. He doesn't put pressure on me. Not to be nice.
		
00:43:21 --> 00:44:02
			So I don't have anything between me and him. But my nearest neighbor may put pressure on me not to
be nice. He's loud. Right? I agree. I have to go and yell at him right? To keep whatever is down.
Sometimes you know throws things in my yard whatever right? So annoying. So to be nice to them
requires a man patience and a man and doing this for a loss of Hannah with the other. being nice to
your parents, even though they might I know you at times. Yes, fine. They may annoy you But still,
that's no excuse for you not to be nice and kind to them. Because they're doing it for a loss of
power dial and the same thing for everybody around you. So when you're kind of demonstrated your
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:02
			email
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:43
			and here, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is giving you what signs for Islam and science for you,
man you want to know, are you a good Muslim? That's the same. Are you wishing the best for people
who are around you or not? Do you want to know if you have a sign that you are a good Mormon or not?
This is a sign Are you kind to people who are around you or not because this kindness comes from the
man that is on site inside? This kindness comes from the a man in a loss of power to Allah and the
worship of Allah Subhana Allah that's where this kindness comes from. Not talking about other types
of kindness where you are kind because they're kind talking about the kindness that is generated
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:46
			from him and so when you do it, that's a sign that you are kind.
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:55
			Okay, and the last one, when I took care of the hurricane Agatha it to me, it says and Do not
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:59
			laugh too much because excessive loss
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			After too much laughter kills the heart
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:22
			right? So of course first of all i mean this doesn't mean that we should shun smiling any everybody
from now on never smile. Stop don't smile. In fact if I tell you don't smile all over the world
smile, right? Yeah see I'm telling you so if I tell you don't smile all of us are smile. So it
doesn't mean don't smile.
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:49
			Because the prophet SAW a lot he was sent him with smile and smile a lot. In fact, he wouldn't
laugh. There's a difference between laughter and smile. I mean, he would, they would maybe just
recorded a couple of times, or maybe one time where the prophet SAW to sit on lap laughing is not
when you open your mouth, right? You open your mouth, but rather the smile is a smile without
opening your mouth. Anyone when they want to say that the profits always in him was happy with
something.
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			It's a smile until we could see his tea.
		
00:45:55 --> 00:46:03
			That's most of the time. But when you're slightly when it's his really happy smile, seeing the teeth
otherwise, just a smile.
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			But the problem is always in the mood smile often.
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:18
			Often, Jerry rob the law, or the low on the prophet SAW Listen to me. He says what are any leftover
some he says whenever he saw me, he'd smile.
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:23
			From the time he accepted Islam, he said, whatever the prophets always sent him would see me he
would smile.
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			So it's my all the time.
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:32
			And where does this come from? Right? Because sometimes, you know, you think to yourself,
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:39
			to have a man is to be serious all the time and angry all the time. That's not the case.
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:57
			There is a reason why some people have faith, right? They may be not as happy to talk about it
right? But the prophets always tell them had the greatest of emotion. And the greatest of emotion
connects you with Allah subhana wa Tada. So when you are connected with Allah, your heart is at
peace,
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:00
			and is happy with what you have.
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:20
			And it's not suffering. And even though you may be worried about the Hereafter, and you're worried
about death, and all of this has has its place, but at the same time, you recognize that you need to
be kind to other people. And you will just have this good nature that Allah subhanaw taala will give
to you. Right? Just know, hello.
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:45
			And this person will want to please everybody that is around and bring a smile to their face, and
recognize that it is a good deed. The prophets will allow you send them right despite that he had
the greatest of a man the same time, right? And you know, with all of those responsibilities that
come with him being a prophet of Allah and the leader of this ummah, at the same time, a smile would
never leave his face sort of audience.
		
00:47:47 --> 00:48:08
			Now, some of us right when we practice Islam, right, that may put pressure on us. There's whispers
from the shavon, right? There's pressure from people around us. There's a lot of pressure. And
because of that, you may feel that or we may encounter a person who is trying to be close to Allah
subhanaw taala but grumpy,
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:11
			grumpy, right, sad.
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:17
			And that is in fact something that needs to be overcome, not surrendered to but overcome.
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:42
			says no, this is not what Allah subhanho wa Taala wants from you. And this is not what His Prophet
sallallahu wasallam wants from you. And there's a hadith but it is weak. When if you read a hadith
that says that the prophets always send them was sad for long times. This is a weak Hadith kind of a
weaver, or that Him and His prophets Allah Islam was not like that. Right? So to be close to Allah
subhanho wa Taala is to be happy with Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:59
			to have a smile on your face, especially when you meet others but there's a difference between that
and excessive laughter. gets a little decadent say Don't laugh. The Sahaba from time to time they
would laugh. But what is he warning against? Here in this heady?
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:02
			excessive too much of it?
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:10
			Why is excessive laughter is such a problem. You think about it? What type of heart laughs all the
time.
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:16
			Empty one. jokes, right? You're just interested in joke. It's an empty heart.
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:43
			It's not a heart that has read the Koran. Or ha is thinking about the hereafter. Of course you don't
have to be like thinking about the hereafter. 24 seven. I don't mean that. But excessive laughter.
Excessive like, like where does it come from from a heart that is empty, and a heart that is
attracted to the dunya and is in the middle of the dunya and is only interested in the dunya that's
where excessive laughter comes from.
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:53
			And that excessive laughter kills the heart because the more that you laugh, the more that you
brought closer to the dunya and further away from Allah Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:57
			And if the heart is dead, can it hear anything?
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			Can it see anything
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:18
			cannot respond to the truth. So the province always hit them is saying that to be so happy,
excessively, to be happy. But this excessive laughter comes only from pondering and contemplating
and wishing for the dunya and forgetting about the hereafter.
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:23
			Because if you think about the Hereafter, in fact, if you just sit and read the Koran,
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:43
			and you can compare the two, a person who's into jokes and you know, funny, whatever, right all the
time, how is he as a person, when he talks when he sits in his conversations, versus a person or the
same person after they read the Koran, and they maintain reading of the heart on how do they change?
		
00:50:45 --> 00:51:01
			What is reading the Koran gift to dignity, stability, focus, he be serious, pleasant to be around.
By the way, you can also make some jokes, no problem with that. But at the same time, that's not all
of your life.
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:10
			So the problem is when we send him his warning about an extreme, and so there are things that killed
the heart. And one of the seems the most innocent ones is excessive laughter.
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:15
			And that is one of the problems that we have today. Excessive laughter.
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:49
			Because if before the term of the prophet SAW a lot he was sending them, right. This could be an
issue. Now, you can turn to programs you can turn to channel that all of what they're doing is what?
Trying to make you laugh. That's it. comedy, right? comedy all the time. You can sit for hours and
watch comedy and be laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing. Right? The prophets always
cinema says if this is your habit, it will have an effect on your heart.
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:54
			Because think about it a person, right? Who is used to comedy,
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:57
			can he sit in halaqa?
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:00
			Unless it's comedy,
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:10
			unless there's a lot of jokes in it. And that's why a lot, you will see that Islamic education also
shifts towards comedy.
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:18
			Why? Because these young people are not going to sit and listen to me unless I you know, I'm funny
as the thing that they are listening to.
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:22
			So the news today, right? Think about the news.
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:31
			less people go to actual serious news channels to listen to the news. And they'd like to would like
to get their news from funny people.
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:33
			Okay.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:40
			And fake news, they call it right. But from funny people who will make fun of it, because they can
only digest it this way.
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:49
			So of course, right? If the only the only thing that you're doing is making fun of everything,
right? You like dead?
		
00:52:51 --> 00:53:22
			Can you teach the Quran while being funny all the time? What How was that dead, anything serious in
this life, right? He cannot just the comedy cannot be the medium of transmitting this knowledge all
the time, you can be funny, here and there. But it cannot be your main focus. So if that's the only
thing they're used to, you sacrifice, you dilute the information and sacrifice depth in it. So the
person who's used to it can only receive it in that form, whether it's news, or even Islamic
education.
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:36
			And forget about sitting for an entire hour or 45 minutes or half an hour, you know, trying to
listen to someone speak about something serious because no, I've been you I've used to what my
attention span is that joke
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:57
			a minute. Right? You get to finish it in one minute. And once that's done, tell me another joke, or
physical comedy, whatever it is, right? But something that will always keep grabbing my attention.
If it's not them without listening to you. I'll do something else. So you see that the heart that is
like that is alive or dead,
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:22
			as close to being dead, that being alive. And one listen to the foreign one listen to the student of
the Prophet system doesn't have the patient to sit and process any of this. So the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam he says, Wait a minute, I'm not telling you not to laugh. I'm not forbidding
laughing. Excessive, right? frequently doing this and making this your focus on their best pastime.
And by the way,
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:25
			a person who jokes all the time
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:29
			is likely or not likely to commit head on when he jokes
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:32
			very likely.
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:38
			Because you can't be honest all the time. Sometimes you lie
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:42
			and to order it, you know in order also to make others laugh.
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:51
			You have to mock ridicule, lie or exaggerate. Right. So you make in front of other people.
		
00:54:53 --> 00:55:00
			So, and plus, today's comedy, especially today's comedy, right and it will
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:16
			We get worse and worse and worse. Today's comedy. what passes for funny today is what? The extremely
vulgar, not just the slightly vulgar, extremely vulgar and the more vulgar you are, the funnier you
are, and the more money that you'll make.
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:47
			My right Am I lying to you? is really, that's really the case. By the top comedians are the most
vulgar of comedians. And so if you want to be funny, you're gonna just have a lot of data. That's
why he wants to know a once upon a time when I saw an Islamic stand up comedy, that was really
ridiculous for me. Why? Because this is we do it to subpanel we're copying others. Why is it not
proper to have an Islamic stand up comedian?
		
00:55:50 --> 00:55:59
			How can you have an Islamic stand up comedian, What is he trying to do? Make you law and law and law
and law? What sort of dichotomy to
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:14
			excessive laughter kills the heart? What are you doing? Don't you know that the prophets always sent
him said this? Once in a while while he was sitting in a gathering and you were being funny him to
dinner, there is nothing wrong with it. But to make that your profession
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:19
			to make that your intent? That's very different.
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:40
			So as a panel or whatever we want to take into the Muslim community, whatever we want to do, you
have first to see is Allah subhana wa Taala happy with it is a prophet sallallahu Sallam happy with
that? Is this something that they will prove up or not? And if not, it doesn't matter who's doing it
on the other side, right? What matters is that he plays a loss of Hamilton and his profits.
		
00:56:42 --> 00:57:08
			So sin in general kills the heart. Right? shitcan General who's about anything that displays the
last panel delicates the heart, and among them, is excessive laughter. And that is the panel like a
golden advice from the prophets a lot. He was in it, because if he didn't tell us, we wouldn't know.
And because he told us, we were able to be critics of today's culture and to tell them what works
and what doesn't work and why it doesn't work.
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:26
			So ask Allah subhana wa tada and to teach us our religion and to help us as the prophets of Allah,
Hollywood cinema, etc, to learn and to apply what we learn, or at least to learn and to teach what
we learn in the law. So I just want to see if there have any questions
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:30
			before inshallah we conclude.
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:31
			Yes.
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:39
			No.
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:43
			No.
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:48
			So can a lot of they say why are repeated bugs VC Why?
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:53
			Okay, so he had heard that thing, the source.
		
00:57:58 --> 00:58:01
			They give examples, right. So that was the CBC.
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:37
			Okay, insha Allah. So he said that, I mean, that we mentioned on the news that some of the people
are many people, the people who their profession is to make people laugh, end up committing suicide.
And, you know, Subhanallah it's not surprising. I mean, a lot of them are, you know, addicts to this
and addicts do that and they have miserable life's miserable life. So, comedy is not a reflection of
their own happiness, right? It's just a profession, some job that they're doing. So something to
think about that the person who you may be listening to, and was making you laugh is, in fact, you
know, could be an agony while he's doing what he's doing right now. So Pamela, that's the paradox,
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:39
			that Colossians
		
00:58:41 --> 00:58:44
			leaves that come along szczepanik along with a shadow or not, either
