			Bismillah Alhamdulillah he was a holdover who were the illa Billah wa Salatu was Salam ala nabina
Muhammad in Lhasa Irina Bina, one more serene. What are the things that are easy to Allah is to them
describes himself with installed at mme chapter 19. A and number 31 is what Jelani Mubarak and as
Mr. Conte, he, Allah God had made me blustered wherever I may be, meaning that in whatever time in
whatever place in whatever company Isa may find himself in, he is a constant source of blessing
through his teachings, through his counsel and advice through his character through his actions. The
fact that he is in that place at that time around those people means that he is blessing them. And
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:27
			that is a NEMA from Allah subhanho wa Taala a blessing from Allah, because a person gets rewarded
because he or she are a source of blessing. And Isa was such a person and all the prophets of Allah
are like that. But is this reserved for the prophets of Allah alone? Listen to what prophet muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, methadone, mini methadone Allah in a lot about what in all the hot
water hot plida were in wakad Allah who didn't know he didn't take care Excel. The believer the
person who has a man is like the bee, when it eats and consumes and eats and consumes what is
wholesome and good. And when it produces, it produces what is wholesome and good. And when it lands
		
00:01:27 --> 00:02:11
			on a stem. Even if that stem is weak, it doesn't break it. So here in the Hadith, the believer is
like the bee in the sense that the believer, male or female, they withhold their harm and evil from
their surroundings and their context. So they don't have anything or anyone around them. And when
they produce they give out something they give out the sweetest thing like that honey that the bee
produces. So is the man producing the sweetest thing to the things and people around him. In a
another similar Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says, Matthew Minamata Luna, hola
Mahathir Mohamad, che in the fog, the believer, the one who has a man is like the day tree, whatever
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:46
			you take from it benefits you. So that tree according to that Hadith, whatever you take from that
tree is a source of blessing. And so is the believer, the one who has a man in whatever context in
whatever time whatever place at home, at work among friends, amongst strangers, the character of the
movement does not change. He is an She is always benefiting those who are around them and the things
that are around them. They are improving them. They are a positive influence in their context. And
the source of all of that is a man.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:03:30
			The woman whenever he finds an opportunity to benefit people around him, through teaching them about
Islam, reminding them about Allah, helping them with their problems, relieving their stress, sharing
a smile with them, whatever you find, as an opportunity to do good, you will take advantage of it.
Why is that the case? Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also said Pharaoh nursey And
Pharaoh homeliness, the best of people, is the ones that are the ones who are most beneficial to
other people. So the big lever who wants to be close to Allah subhana wa tada realizes that a way of
being close to Allah is to be helpful and to be beneficial and to be a constant source of blessing
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:15
			to his environment. And to her context. Can this be a burden sometimes can it be heavy on a scan
will be positive constantly? Isn't this a burden? Well, the answer is that if we have a man, then
this will be less of a burden, because the prophets of the law to you earlier said limited in the
Hadith, the example of the men of the believer, meaning that it is because of a man that the person
will be able to have that intention, and to have the patience to continue in those ads, so that they
continue to bless everyone around them. And if that is lacking in our lives, then we have to ask
ourselves, it is either our man is not strong enough to produce these blessings around this or that
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:56
			we have a man but we are unaware that we have to have these blessings that we have to spread these
blessings as a consequence of our email as a fruit of our email. So if the fruit is missing, either
it is because of ignorance because we don't know that we have to be such a source of blessing or
it's because the source of self is not strong. We don't have enough. So we should aspire to be such
less at people whatever opportunity you find when we wake up in the morning when you go to bed
whenever you opportunity you find you ask yourself and you tell yourself, I will take advantage of
it because it's an opportunity that is presented to me by Allah subhanho wa Taala. So be like the be
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			whatever you want to give you give what is best and what is
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:17
			Good and you keep your heart and your evil to yourself. I asked Allah subhana wa Erna to make us of
those who will be successful in their in this pursuit, a whole new community how there was a little
lonely hola como Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
