			Last
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			one commandment
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:23
			and that is, when you say something is halal or something is haram, you're signing a signature,
whose signature are you signing?
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:35
			Allah is Zoja. And that's a heavy signature to forge. And so make sure that when you speak, you
speak with knowledge. And if you don't have knowledge, it's simple, don't speak
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:46
			of the live drummer was asked about something. And he said, I don't know. And then when the person
left, he became so happy. And he said, Omar was asked about something that he didn't know. And he
said, I don't know.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			He was happy.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:02
			They said, if they used to say, teach your students, I don't know. Like, you teach them knowledge.
Why? Because I don't know, is half of knowledge. So say it with me say, I don't know.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			I don't know.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			Feels good, right? I don't know.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			Not I think,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			you know, sometimes
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19
			you're sitting in a circle, and then somebody comes to ask a religious question. And you're just
like,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:57
			I want that person asked me, come on, ask me ask me ask me, right? That's not the way the companions
were tabulated, would mention that they would go and ask a question. And they would go from one
companion to the next. Each one of them is sending the companion that person to the next person
asked that person asked that person until he finally came back around to the first person, each one
of them hoping that they wouldn't have to burden themselves with answering that question. Because
when you answer a question about the Sharia, you are now accountable for it in front of Allah Azza.
Even if it's in the masjid, even if it's in the masjid, even if it's on the street, even if it's on
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:18
			the street, even if it's on Facebook. Yes, even if it's on Facebook. So I remember my chef, when he
had posted those questions on Facebook, and he said, please ask me your questions about Ramadan. And
I will give your answers. Do you know what the question that was asked the most? The question that
came up as being number one question about fasting?
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:39
			Does brushing the teeth? Does brushing your teeth breaks the fast? I was the number one question.
And then I remember looking at it, seeing all of the likes thumbing you know, thumbs up, lifting it
up. And then the next comment under it was yes, it does.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:55
			The next comment after it was no, it does not. The next comment after that was, here's a video of
chef so and so answering your question. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm reading through this and I'm
like Allahu Akbar, who asked you
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:35
			Nobody asked you, you. These questions were directed to a scholar on his own Facebook page from his
own students. Why did you decide while you're sitting in your pajamas, in your apartment or in your
house, in your basement, at your school? To take it upon yourself to answer on behalf of Allah and
His messenger? When nobody asked you you see this is the difference between therapy that happens on
social media which it doesn't and therapy or that happens growing up in the massage it because in
the message when you're sitting in that masala and the Imam is sitting in the corner or the chef is
sitting in the corner
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			and somebody comes up to ask you a question, what do you do?
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			You say them,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			right? You go like this?
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:59
			Is this 45 degrees or 180? You go like that, right? Go ask that person. And this is something that's
such a valuable it seems insignificant. But this is something that's lost from everybody who learns
and studies Islam online.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:16
			They don't learn this concept of directing questions to other people don't speaking if there's
somebody who's more qualified than you, right and even seeking out somebody who's more qualified
than you to answer on behalf of the religion okay.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:55
			I left in some people have been who selima followed me. They said to me by Allah, we do not know
that you committed a sin before you have. You, however, showed an ability to put forward an excuse
before a messenger of Allah, Allah is Allah Am I like those who stay behind him? It would have been
enough for the forgiveness of your sin that the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would
have sought forgiveness for you. By Allah, they kept on re approaching me until I thought of going
back to the messenger of allah sallallahu wasallam and retract my contract and my compassion. Then I
said to them, has anyone else met the same fate? They said yes, two persons have met the same fate.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			They made the same statement as you did and the same verdict was done.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:21
			In their case, I asked Who are they? They said Marrara been a rugby. Emir and Hillel been omega L.
Worked with him. They mentioned these two pious men who had taken part in the Battle of bedeutet.
And they were, and there was an example for me and them, I was confirmed in my original result.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			So God provided leaves the company of the province.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:58
			And his family surrounding him, they said, What are you doing? He would have been enough for you. If
you had simply told the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he would have made this the font
for you. And that would have been enough. God pneumatic says, they continued to blame me and
reproach me and telling me why did you do that? Until I almost went back, and retracted my
confession. And then I asked them, I said, has anybody said what I said? And they said, Yes, more or
even year over year, I'm ready.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:12
			And he lives in Omega work if he he lives near me and work with you. They mentioned to righteous
people who had participated in the Battle of better and I then
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:40
			felt good in their company. And I was committed to my original resolve. What do you get from this
section here? Yes. So the importance of surrounding yourself with good people your friendship, the
province the licenses and model Allah Dini add for young Varaha document, you hide it, he says that
a person has upon the religion of their friend. So let each one of you be very careful as to who
they take as friends, people will go to Paradise and some people will go to the Hellfire based on
their friends.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:55
			Just like in this world, some people become successful. Some people go to prison, just because of
who their friends were. Literally right, it gets very serious. And so here, when he was with his
family members, he almost went back.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:11
			But when he realized that he was in the company of who these two righteous men from Albania, the
greatest of the people he was secure in his decision, it's a strengthened his resolve. Very good
what else?
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:36
			Sometimes the people who are telling you to break are the people who are closest to you. And so the
truth is the truth no matter who is standing against you even be your closest family members. And
that's very difficult but that makes a person status very high. Very good. What else?
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:56
			Okay, they say we know that you'd never committed anything other it would have been enough for you
that the Prophet saw the lights and and make us the font for you. This also shows us something very
important. A person with film and my film I mean understanding a person with Fick knows the danger
of sins.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			A person with film knows the danger of since
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:14
			Sofia and authority he says turkey with them be a sort of Manitoba. He said for you to avoid a sin.
It is much safer, it is much better than repentance.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:20
			At the end of the day, after you commit a sin, do you ever know Are you ever 100% sure that Allah is
forgiving you?
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			You ever know? Even if you go to Edge?
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			You never know. Right?
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:32
			And so in English, we say an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of
		
00:08:35 --> 00:09:12
			I was almost going to think that was French or something. Yeah, an ounce of prevention is better
than a pound of cure, an ounce the smallest prevention, it is better than you committing something,
and then seeking to cure it and cure it and cure and cure it. Now I don't want a person to be
hopeless to feel like oh, well, I've already committed things. What does that mean? The Prophet
sallallahu sallam, he told us khulumani Anahata or Hirakata in a baboon. And in fact, if we didn't
sin, Allah azza wa jal will replace us and bring us for the community that does sin, but we
shouldn't try to sin. And we definitely shouldn't play games with Allah. Imagine if you knew
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:12
			tomorrow,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:20
			that Rasulullah sallallahu sallam was going to seek forgiveness for you. Man, that's such a great
blessing.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:44
			What a great opportunity. Even then his family is telling him Don't worry, just lie and the prophets
is default is going to be good enough for you. God we've pneumonic knows that that's not a game
that's worth playing. Even if it's the default of the province that Allah does and and so we should
never play that game ourselves. Never say I'm going to do this and this and this and this I'm just
gonna wile out in college and then I'm going to do and I'm gonna be alright.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:56
			That's not how it works. I'm just gonna get this house river mortgage is going to be super long.
After I buy it. Pay off all of my debts. I'm just going to make 100 And it's going to be all good.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			That's not how it works.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:07
			That's not how it works stuck with them be a sort of Manitoba. Avoiding sin in the first place is
always much better
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:13
			or easier. Easier is a better word it is easier than Toba.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			Okay,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			since you have the mic, sister can you just keep reading for us
		
00:10:22 --> 00:11:02
			the first word is the the messenger will last the lioness primitive the Muslims to talk to the three
of us from amongst those who have stayed behind. The people began to avoid us in their attitude
towards this change and it seemed as if the whole atmosphere had turned against us. And it was in
fact the same atmosphere of which I was fully aware in which I had lived for a fairly long time. We
spent 15 nights in this very state and my two friends combined themselves within their houses and
spent most of their time weeping is I was the youngest and the strongest I would leave my house
attended Congressionals a lot move, move about in buzzers, bazaars, bazaars, but none would speak to
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:28
			me. I would come to the messenger of a loss a lot of us as he had, as yet, as he sat amongst people
after the Celox greet him and would ask myself whether or not his lips moved in response to my
greetings, then outperforms a lot near him and look at him. And look at his Delta Lee. When I
finished my salon, she would look at me, and when I would cast a glance at him, he would turn away
his eyes for me.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:12:11
			GABA mediamatic is boycotted by Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and the Muslims. The Prophet SAW Selim
says nobody talked to nobody interact with God with pneumatic and his two companions. his two
companions, they were both old. And so they stayed home and they just cried and cried and cried. God
says I was the youngest. So I used to go out into the market places I used to go to the masjid, I
used to go everywhere. And I will say salaam to people and nobody would respond to me. They would be
completely ignored. And I will go to the masjid and say salaam to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and
he wouldn't respond to me and then I would pray. And when I would pray, the prophets Allah sent him
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			would look at me and then when I'd finish and I'd look at him, he'd look away from me.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			What do you get here? What do you see?
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19
			Yes.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:36
			Okay, Rasulullah Selim is still disappointed in him. He's still disappointed and yet you still see
the love of the Prophet and the concern, or Salah Salem is looking at this person when he's praying.
Yes.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:48
			He didn't get the way. Right. Very good. So there's no information coming then. We continue what
else?
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:51
			Okay,
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:14
			very good. So I'm gonna have to clean the hardest pair on them was featured in Asia and cabbie Mike
is obviously not a hypocrite. He's going to the Salawat also, something interesting here is that God
of pneumatic the story is called tow but cabin pneumatic. Everybody knows it as the Toba of Khabib
pneumatic. Why did it become carried pneumatic story and not the other twos?
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			Okay, so they were older. But why did he become cab story?
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:26
			They were from bedden. Okay, but why did it become cab story? I mean,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			proactive in what sense?
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			It became cab story because God was the one that everybody saw.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:47
			He's the one who's there in the salon. He's the one who's walking around in the marketplaces. He's
the one who everybody is consciously boycotting. They're not consciously boycotting the two who are
sitting at home.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:06
			And what this shows us is that when a person goes through a calamity, a lot of times, their natural
response is to isolate themselves. There's a problem happening in their family. So they go and they
lock the doors and nobody knows about it. And I'm just gonna, I'm not gonna go to the masjid
anymore. I'm not gonna interact with the community.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			That doesn't help.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:27
			If the community if you're not interacting with the community, if you're not involved in they're not
it's just human nature, out of sight out of mind. And because God was the one who interacted God was
the one who was on their mind. And God was the one who they were
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			you know, constantly in remembrance of in his story became the story of Cobb. What else do you guys
see
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			it's a short time he said.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:15:00
			It's not it's a very long time. You know, this is he was literally in solitary confinement. This
way. This is solitary confinement, but the thing is, he wasn't in a box. He was out in the open, but
he's not receiving any sort of social benefit. He's saying set up. You know, how bad do you feel
when you go
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			Go to a new community and you walk into the message say salam alaikum to people and the people just
ignore you. Like you're like, I never want to come to this place again.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:16
			Go into Malik and these are his family members and his beloved has a light forget that when you post
up a status on Facebook and nobody likes it, how do you feel?
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:30
			Right? You You need that you need that input from people. God forbid Mike is getting nothing for 50
days and his companions. Also though one of the major lessons that we learned from this is that
difficulty may precede Toba
		
00:15:31 --> 00:16:19
			difficulty may precede Toba a lot of times we think I cried in my sujood and I said y'all holla at
us. I'm done with this. And then on the next morning, you're like, Uh hum de la repented to Allah
azza wa jal. I'm good to go. All of my sins are forgiven Gaby when he might have had to walk through
fire for 50 days before the revelation came down that his Stobo was accepted. And so it may be that
a person repents, and it will not just automatically, you know, clear their cache or their record.
It may be that Allah as we get is going to squeeze them. It may be that they will be tested. The
brother who's dating girls left and right, and then finally says hamdulillah I've repented to Allah
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			azza wa jal. I'm done.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:27
			And then he's expecting when will you tequila ah, Aloha Mahalo, Jaya Zuko woman.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:49
			Okay, I'm going to repent to Allah as interim have Taqwa of Allah and Allah azza wa jal is going to
provide for me for where from where I didn't expect. So inshallah my wedding was going to be in two
months, I'm expecting a bride to come from the sky, from where I did not expect. And then they find
that two months go by and a year go by, and two years go by and three years go by, and there is no
option to get married.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:26
			And Allah as we did a squeezing him to see are you sincere? Are you going to be willing to walk
through fire, the sister who's got a business, she's got a business going on and it might have
involved some haram transactions and she says, You know what, I'm going to get rid of this I'm going
to quit my job or whatever it is the business I'm going to make sure that I'm gonna go the hallowed
route now. And when we tequila hit Aloha manager, I'm repenting from this haram investment or these
haram transactions. And then she's expecting that this duck love Allah, Allah Azza is not going to
solve either * Halal sub, but it's just going to, she's going to become a millionaire now.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:39
			And instead, she's watching us her business goes down the drain. At her bank account has never been
emptier. And Allah oz Jade is squeezing her to see if this job is sincere.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:56
			If you lose all of the dunya is that Stober still worth more to you than that? Or is there some sort
of hidden defect to your repentance? God who pneumatic is being squeezed, and he's continuing to be
sincere? Okay, what else?
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:27
			Incredibly important. The province of Elijah Saddam did not have to do a marketing campaign. He
didn't have to spend millions of dollars to command the people to avoid Gavi, Maliki didn't have to
send out secret police to see if they were talking to God in pneumatic or not. He made an
announcement and everybody stopped. This shows you the great therapy of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam, and it shows you the greatness of the sahaba. Also, guys, you need to pay attention to the
greatness of the sahaba.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:36
			They were the best generation after Rasulullah, sallAllahu Sydenham Allah and who is the greatest
person after the MBR period.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:55
			Sometimes the leader is great. But sometimes the flock is bad. The prophets Allah Satan was an
excellent leader. And the Sahaba were an excellent flock. Sometimes we blame our leadership. We look
around at the community and we say, Man,
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:05
			our Muslim community needs better leaders. All of our leaders are horrible. No, sometimes you have
great leaders, but sometimes the community that they're sent to
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:26
			are horrible. most evident Imran Ali Salam was an excellent leader. That didn't stop Benny Aslan IID
from being a horrible flock. It have untold, a book of Atilla in a dune they said to Musa Musa al
salaam says here we're going to enter into Jerusalem
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:42
			of the melodica Allah Allah has written it for you enter it no problem. They said Yeah, Musa there's
a a strong people in there and we're not going to enter as long as they're in there. And if they
leave and we're going to enter
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:53
			and then they said they had the audacity did say, Yeah, Musa we're never going to enter it ever. You
and your Lord go and fight in our fight and we're gonna stay here.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			So sometimes it's not the leadership sometimes it's the flock and that's why I love the the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:41
			I saw a sign downstairs in the youth lounge. I loved it, because it said something. I'm not quoting
it verbatim, but it says something like if I, I follow leadership because it's Salam, anybody can
help me out from the nobody noticed that. It says I follow leadership because I'm obligated to
follow leadership or something like that. I don't remember it verbatim. But that point is absolutely
100% Correct. Don't you realize how Allah Allah has designed for this OMA to follow leadership?
Allah says, Yeah, you live the normal to Allah while to follow suit. What did he mean cool? Allah
says, Obey Allah and obey His messenger and obey he doesn't say and obey, he says, and those in
		
00:20:41 --> 00:21:24
			authority amongst you. So before Allah, He said up to and before the messenger, he said, I'll tell
you why. Because the FDA to Allah and his messenger are both absolute. They are mutlak all the time
of your Allah all the time, after all will remain calm. The leadership amongst you He doesn't say up
to you, but it's a continuation of the verse. Why does he not say I'll tell you the scholars they
said it indicates that the thorough to leadership is not absolute, like the FBI is to Allah and His
Messenger, but it is a restricted PA. It is a restricted obedience. You obey them as long as they
obey Allah and His messenger. But you still obey them. And so we pray behind the Imam and we pray
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			behind the Imam as long as they make a mistake if they make a mistake, then we leave the Salah,
right?
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:39
			Yes. I don't know how you guys are praying. But the way that you pray is that if the Imam makes a
mistake, you just leave the Salah and you walk out Isn't that how you guys do it?
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			What do you guys do?
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48
			He says of hon Allah but the Imam continues to get up he got up for fifth like i What do you do?
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:53
			Okay, you clap you say subhanallah the mom gets up for the rock. What do you do?
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			You sit and wait for the Imam. You don't leave the salah.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			You don't leave the salah.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			Okay.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:13
			Okay, is he being bossy? So if he turns around and he says everybody be quiet. I mean, my point here
is that you are commanded to follow the Imam.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:34
			And we you know how impressive it is when people look outside and they see the Muslim community and
they see the Imam go like this. And they see hundreds of people just all go like this. It's
incredibly impressive. But that's the way that Allah has designed it. The prophets Allah Allah Allah
Center says, when three of you go on a journey, do not go until you make one of them. The Emir
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:40
			what does that mean? That means we're supposed to be an OMA that trains ourselves to follow
leadership.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:59
			That's the way that we're so that's the way that we're designed. Because following leadership will
take you in directions and will take you to places that you will never get to if you bigger and
bigger and bigger and bigger, and we don't have more time to go into that. But there's a lot that
can be said, Okay.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:14
			Well, the harsh treatment, probably the most close to me contract for a considerable length of time.
I walked and I climbed upon the wall of the garden of
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:23
			course, my cousin and I had a great love for him. I agree with him, but
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:55
			in answer to my reading, I said to him, oh Abu Qatada, I do in the name of Allah. You are not aware
that I that I love a lot and it was in there. So what I said and I asked him the same question
again. But he really just harlot. I again, assertive when upon he said, Allah and His Messenger
called insulin. And over, my eyes were filled with tears and I came back, climbing down the wall.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:21
			As I was walking in the bazaars of an Medina, Imam from the Syrian peasants, who had come to Seoul,
for greens in Regina asked people to direct him to character to character, Malik people pointed
towards me, he came to me and delivered a letter from the kingdom of Hassan.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:56
			And, as I was a scribe, I read the letter, whose purpose was for verse was, it has been conveyed to
us that you have a you lie in front of profit scholars that was treating you harshly or was not
fitting for placed when you are to be regarded and when you cannot find your right place. So come to
us and we shall receive you graciously. As I read, as I read the letter I said, this was to assist.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			So I put it to fire
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			In a very good
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:33
			beautiful guy with me Malik now is alone for a long time and he goes to his cousin Abu Qatada who's
like a brother to him, one of the most beloved people to him and he goes to him by himself in the
garden of Abu Qatada and he says to Abu Qatada, Assam, why they come? And Abu Qatada doesn't respond
and this hurt God so much and he says to him, don't you know that I love Allah and His messenger?
Don't you know that I love Allah his Messenger Don't you know that I love Allah and His messenger.
And then finally I will Qatada says, Allah wa rasuluh Allah
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:46
			and Abu Qatada leaves Oh Gaby pneumatic finally leaves and his eyes are filled with tears. Shortly
after that, he's just been rejected by his closest family members.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:53
			And in that moment of sadness, he receives a letter from a Syrian peasant.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:26:13
			A letter from the kingdom of Assad, which is a Christian tribe that was allied with the Romans. And
the letter is coming from the kingdom of Assad that is saying, we've heard a Messiah who book called
the Jaffa we've heard that you're your friend, meaning Rasulullah Salim, he's treating you harshly.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			You don't deserve that.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:30
			Why don't you come to us? And we'll take care of you. God, we've pneumatic he said, Hi, the Avon
minute Bella. This is also a test. And he burned the letter in an oven. What lessons do you get from
this section right here.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:54
			Very good. So that is when shaytaan goes for his little hook shots. He's not just jabbing. When
you're at your lowest point, that's when he comes with the big blows. And that's exactly what he did
for cod cod was in his lowest point. And now he receives a letter from the kingdom of Assad, a
Christian tribe that was allied with the Romans and who was the campaign of taboo against again
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:10
			against the Romans. So you see how it all comes full circle. It's not it's not a coincidence. So the
Byzantine Empire of assign is an ally with them. They're a Christian tribe allied with the Romans.
And now they're trying to create this
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:17
			person, a cabin nomadic they're trying to get him to betray the prophets of Allah. Listen. What
else?
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			Yes.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:30
			You cannot buy him. Very good. Of course, he's a great Sahabi from Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam of
the province I sent him he's not going to be bought. Yes.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:43
			Yes, yes. Even though he's, you know, if he had went to the Kingdom Hall sign he would have been
honored and pampered and showing riches that he wouldn't have gotten in Medina, but he rejects it
all. Yes. What else?
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:49
			Well, he was a wealthy man. He wasn't a prince or a king. I don't know of any princes or kings in
Medina.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:57
			But he was a wealthy man. And by the way, just think about this. He's a wealthy man. What do you
think is happening to him?
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:58
			By
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:05
			the community boycotting him? What's happening to his wealth? Don't you think he's taking a
financial hit?
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:11
			Right now nobody's buying from him? They're not even talking to him. Yes, what else?
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:25
			His closeness to the Prophet sallallaahu Selim as well known, very good, I Casasola. The calves
wealth and closeness to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam as well known.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			What describe nomadic do with the letter?
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:42
			He burns it right. What lesson do you get from that? Why did he burn it? Why did he just fold it up?
Why didn't he just rip it?
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:49
			Very good. That could be temptation when? Even after he rips it up.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			Or temptation and how,
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			in what way?
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:03
			And this shows us Toba has a number of
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			pillars.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:40
			The first pillar of Toba is another that a person regret that a person wishes that they did not do
it. They don't look back, fondly over there since the second is intention to never commit that sin
again, as ima and by intention, I mean commitment, commitment is a better word, commitment and ever
commit that sin again. And the third is actually never committing that sin again. A person stole but
is effective, as long as they don't commit that sin again. What happens if they do commit that sin
again?
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			Then they get up dust themselves off and
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:59
			repent again and go through the process. But hear the second pillar which is commitment to never
committing the sin again. True commitment involves taking all necessary steps to put
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			Protect yourself from falling into that sin again.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:11
			And so the person who says, I'm not gonna come to *, I'm not gonna fall into Zina again, and then
goes and hangs out with the same friends
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			that he got in trouble with the first time. The next day.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:23
			That person is not truly committed, that is Amani, that's wishful thinking. It's not as EMA.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:37
			A person must be willing to close the door to that sin, God with a pneumatic burns the letter and
for some people for their Toba for a true toe, but they may have to change their phone numbers.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:40
			They may have to get off of social media.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:46
			They may have to change their location may have to change their schools.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:53
			But what Stobo worth, you guys know the story of the man who killed 99.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:31:11
			He was a serial killer. In fact, killing had become so easy for this man. This is a Hadith of the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam told us for those of you who haven't heard this story, because when I said
you guys all know the man who killed 90 And I was like, yes, but some people were like, Wait, who is
this person? And where does he live?
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:37
			So it's a hadith of the story of the prophets. I said, I'm told us of a man who killed 99 people.
And then he wanted to repent. And so he went to a heartbeat. He went to a really, really, really
good brother was always in the masjid. He prays on time, all of that he just known to be a really
good guy. And he said, I've killed 99 people. If I leave in Toba, is there a repentance for me? And
the man said, you killed 99? No way. So the man killed him too.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:44
			And he made it 100 That's how easy murder became for this person. If you give him an answer. He
doesn't like your gun.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:50
			He killed 100. And then he goes and he finds a scholar and he says, I've killed 100 people.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:32:20
			For halimun Toba? Is there any way that I can repent in the mindset to Him and who can stand between
you and the repentance? The Mercy of Allah azza wa jal, but he says, like in your people are an evil
people, and you need to leave them and you need to go to another land. And he mentioned to him a
place where the people will help you become steadfast in the worship of Allah. You got to leave your
environment, you have to go somewhere else where the people are gonna help you. So this man went,
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:24
			and he began journey. And when he was in the middle of his journey,
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:26
			he died.
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:38
			And the angels of Mercy descended and the angels of punishment descended. And the angels of Mercy
said this person is journeying to his Lord, and the angels of punishment said this person has killed
100 souls.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:55
			And then finally, it was decreed that they would measure the distance between them if he was closer
to his destination, than the angels of Mercy would take him. And if he was closer to his origin,
then the angels of punishment were take him and which one did he end up being closer to?
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:09
			He ended up being closer to his origin and the angels of punishments were going to take him and then
Allah azza wa jal cause for the Earth to shift
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:21
			just a little bit, until he became closer to his destination, and the angels of Mercy took him now,
Allah azza wa jal could have just made him die a few steps later.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:32
			But Allah Azza didn't want it to show or Allah as we just showed, that he will shift the Earth and
the universe and all of these things if you repent sincerely to him.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:53
			But you have to take real steps. And this man was willing to take those steps. And the question that
I asked is imagine if he had just delayed his Stobo by a single day. Where would he have died? If he
just decided I'm not going to head out this morning, I'm going to head out tomorrow I'm going to
repent not this weekend, but I'm going to repent next weekend, where would he have ended up?
		
00:33:54 --> 00:34:07
			And so let us first thing tonight we leave with nothing else And let us commit to repenting to Allah
azza wa jal when we ask Allah Allah to accept our Toba and to grant us, Toba to nasaga Allah Hammami
okay.
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			We're almost done in Charlotte.
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:49
			When the 40 days having maps in the messenger will last so long audios received no revelation
they're came to me a messenger a messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, very the
messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has commanded us to keep away from your wife. I said,
Should I divorce her? Or what else should I do? He said no, but only keep away from her and don't
have sexual contact with her. The same message was sent to my companions. So I said to my wife, you
better go to your parents and stay there with them until Allah gives the decision. The decision in
my case,
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:59
			the wife of Halal Pinyon, May has came, came to the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and said, O Messenger of Allah so long live in Southern Hello, bye
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:05
			No Mia is a senior person and has no service. Do you disapprove if I serve her?
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:48
			He said no, but don't let him have any sexual contact with you. She said by Allah. He has no such
desire left in by Allah he has been in tears since this calamity struck him, members of my family
said to me, you should have sought permission from messenger of a loss in the long run in the sun.
In regard to your wife, he has allowed the wife of Manuel Mejia to serve him I said, I would not
seek permission from messenger will last in the long run, even send them for I do not know what Mr.
Will also the low volume of some of my say in response to that, as I'm a young man, it was in this
state that I spent 10 more nights in this and those 50 days have passed since the Messenger of Allah
		
00:35:48 --> 00:36:15
			Lohani was prevented talking to us. Very good luck. Thank you very much don't disappear. I'm going
to need you for the rest of the night. It's hard enough, so he likes the province Hello Leidos sends
a messenger to cognitive pneumatic sank. The messenger says the province ally centum has commanded
you to separate from your wife Gaby, my sister, should I divorce her? He says no. Just refrain from
being intimate with her. And then
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:25
			the wife of United Noumea she comes to Rasulullah Salah Salem and she's seeking permission or he
commands sorry, he commands to separate from the wife.
		
00:36:26 --> 00:37:02
			And she goes back to her family. So Nakaba and Mike is completely alone. And then when it came to he
lived in New Romania. His wife came to the Prophet size cinema saying that he's an old man, he needs
me to serve Him. And then he said, Fine, serve him but just don't be intimate. Don't let him be
intimate with you. And she said the house will lie. He's been crying ever since this ordeal
happened. He doesn't care about anything else. And in this 50 days had gone by. This was when 40
Nights had passed. Now Abdul Karim he looks and he looks at this scenario. And he says that in the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:17
			sending this messenger with this command was a bush law for cognitive pneumatic, it was basically
good news for cognitive pneumatic. How is it good news? Number one, he says it was good news because
communication was happening. And again,
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:30
			that in and of itself, for example, have you ever had something that you an application that you had
sent forth? Or something that was in process, job application or anything? And it was in process for
so long? You're like, Man, did they lose my file?
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:40
			Like is it even. And then you receive a letter from them that says, your application is still in
process? And you're like at Hamdulillah? I'm just glad to hear from you.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:38:02
			Right? You've just put one of my things at ease. And so kind of your mnemonic at least he's
receiving information that you know what? Your issue is still in process is still pending. That's
number one. Number two, it's a Bushra because he's being separated from his wife. Why is being
separated from your wife in this instance, good news.
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:07
			Brothers are all afraid to answer.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:22
			Why is it good news in real name says it's good news. Because he says in the last moments, we are
commanded to focus on the finish line.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:39:04
			Meaning that when you're at the end of a race, that's when you sprint the hardest. And that's when
you focus on your percent completely on Allah Zoda. And that is when you separate from your spouse
in Ramadan, we fast and we're cool and you know, we pace ourselves and Ramadan in the last 10
Nights. What do we do? The province I'm Elias and I'm in the last 10 Nights shut them Zara. Well,
yeah, Leila who? Allah, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam with Titan, his is on his lower garment,
which is akin is a euphemism for the fact that you would not have any sexual relations or intimacy
with his wives. Why? Because it's 10 days, a young man might do that. You see. And so when we're at
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:24
			the finish line, that is the time when you focus completely on Allah. So we get a new sprint guy
with a pneumatic whether he knows it or not, is approaching the finish line. And so on the 40th day,
now it is time for you to separate from everybody and only have access to Allah azza wa jal. Do you
guys see that? Okay, what else? Anything else?
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:57
			Okay, so he is whatever is the end that he wants. He's fulfilling the means to get to the end. And
so he's burning the letter. He's separating himself from his wife just to make sure that he doesn't
open up a door of sin again. Also, here it shows you the incredible obedience again that the Sahaba
have to the prophets of Allah is Allah. The man comes to the academy, Margie says the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam orders you be separate from your wife. He says, Should I divorce her? He's like no
divorce, sir.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:39:59
			Well, that's what calves
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			responses should I divorce her?
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:13
			And he says, No, don't divorce her. But just be don't be intimate with her. Right. So here you see
the amazing submission of the Sahaba or the Lidl okay?
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:58
			This last one for me. Nothing wait more on me. Oh, yeah, that's it. Nothing wait more on me that,
that I die in this state. And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam does not pray over me, or
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam died and I did this state with the people and so no one
speaks to me, nor prays over me, God and mackerel, the lion says this whole ordeal the thing that
stressed me out the most is one of two things happening. Number one, the prophets of Allah, they're
sending them, I die. And also the loss I sent him does not pray over me what a disaster. Imagine
being in Medina in the city of the province of Salem, while the prophet is alive and you dying, he
		
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59
			does not pray over you.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:08
			Incredible stress. Number two, is that rasool Allah, so I sent him dice, and that nobody ever talked
to me for the rest of my life.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			What do you get from this?
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:56
			It's two sentences, but it really shows you the mentality of God. And man, he's not worried about
his wealth that he's must be losing by the day. He's not worried about any of these things, the
things that weigh him the most is that he die. And this is something also important for us to
reflect on. Captain America is young, he's not old. He's got an old companion here. And yet he's
concerned about his own death. How many times do we think about death? Think about dying young. I
had a friend of mine, he said something. And it was very interesting to me. He had good brother,
religious brother, for some reason, I don't really know. But he had driven to a casino. He didn't
		
00:41:56 --> 00:42:26
			drive to the casino, he drove to the parking lot of the casino, and he was going somewhere else
around the casino. And he said, but for some reason, in my mind, he said, I decided to walk through
the casino. And so I walked through the casino. And he said, I was never more terrified in my entire
life, than those few moments that I was walking through the casino. Why? Like why was that so really
strange. He said, I was thinking to myself, Allah azza wa jal brought me to this casino, just to
take my soul here.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:37
			I've never been inside a casino before or since what brought me to this casino just now. And so he
said, I was so afraid that all of a sudden I would die in this casino.
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:46
			Right just being being afraid that while you're in that state, that Allah as are your take your
soul, right fearing Sue Aquatimer. The second
		
00:42:48 --> 00:43:07
			is shows us the glimpse of how powerful the tetapi of the prophets Allah sent him his guy Ben Malik
is sure that if the Prophet SAW sent him dice, that the Muslim ummah is not going to speak to him
for the rest of their lives. You know, many people build great things. They build institutions, they
build
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:54
			countries, they found countries, they found institutions, you have people who are the patriarchs or
the matriarchs of a family. They're the one who everybody looks to, they're the one who keeps
everybody in line. But then what happens when that person dies, the family splits apart, the country
falls apart, the organization stumbles, right, or it breaks apart also fails. What's the key here,
and this is something that all of us need to pay attention to. If you are a person who runs an
organization and you want the organization to run, truthfully, after you depart, or you are a
parent, and you want to make sure that your children are you know upon the straight and narrow after
		
00:43:54 --> 00:44:00
			you pass away, you want people to continue to go correct after you're gone.
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:12
			The secret here is that you develop them, train them to be conscious, not about your presence, but
the presence of Allah.
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:14
			That's the secret.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:56
			And so when the province of the license dies, and there was never a greater vacuum that was created,
then when the messenger of God the last messenger leaps and the Sahaba are panicking, and her mother
is going off on a tear whoever view says Muhammad and I'd even never thought it was legs collapse
from under him and there's a lot of chaos in Medina in those moments. All it required is for a walk
called the Allah on whom to get up and make his famous hopefully he says uh, my bad. Whoever view
was worshipping Mohammed for in number Hamedan khidmat womankind Abdullah, for in Allah, how you lay
a moot
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:59
			just bringing them back to that focus whoever
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:23
			Review is concerned about the presence of Mohammed that was your goal that was your concern. That
missile Elijah syndrome has passed away whoever have you, though worships Allah. Then Allah azza wa
jal is Forever Living, to raise people to be conscious not of the presence of any individual but the
presence of Allah. That is how you guarantee that your work is going to outlast your lifetime. And
it will exist as long as Allah Azza did his life.
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:32
			Okay, I'm just gonna read here till the end, because it is the conclusion of the Surah or the
conclusion of the Hadith rather.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:46:08
			And now we come to the part of Toba. God of pneumatic he says, but Allah revealed His forgiveness
for us sudo su la sala they send them in the last third of the night while Allah's Messenger so
Allah Allah Sydenham was with him selama um cinema sympathized with me and helped me in my disaster,
Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhi salam said, Oh, I'm sedima God has been forgiven. She said,
Shall I send someone to him to give him the good tidings? He said, If you do so the people would not
let you sleep the rest of the night. So in the province of Elijah Sydenham had offered the fajr
prayer he announced Allah's forgiveness for us. The Toba came down in the middle of the night or in
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:30
			the last third of the night and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is in the house of cinema, and cinema
is told by Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam Kab has been forgiven. She says the IRIS will Allah shall I
send him a messenger right now? And he goes no, everybody's going to wake up nobody's going to
sleep. He says wait until the morning so after failure of the prophets I said I'm telling him or he
makes the announcement What do you get from this little section here?
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:36
			What stands out to you What do you feel? What do you see?
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:42
			Very good. The prophesy said let me so consider it
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:53
			right to any the Prophet sallallaahu Selim is taking a little bit of time to do what is better,
right he's not just completely caught up in the motions the prophesy centum is practical and Nisa
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:56
			wise. What else do you guys see
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:32
			on Selma, well, the Alana so excited for the repentance. Okay. So excited. Right? And this shows us
that they were Brothers and Sisters in Islam. They weren't you know, pretending like the other
didn't exist, like sometimes we do when it comes to the other gender, whatever happens to them, who
cares? No, they cared for each other's trials and tribulations and, um, cinema wanted to send Kaba a
messenger right in the middle of the night. And Gabi neumag says she was somebody who cared for me
in my ordeal, like she was someone who was obviously concerned about
		
00:47:36 --> 00:48:02
			God even he might access after I had offered my favorite prayer on the early morning of the 50th day
of this boy caught on the roof of one of our houses, and has sat in the very state which Allah
described as the earth seem constrained for me. Despite its vastness, vastness, I heard the voice of
a proclaimer from the peak of the hill of salt and shouting at the top of his voice, your God given
mnemonic, I've shared all kinds of mnemonic rejoice.
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:07
			And I fell into suit on the roof of the house.
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:34
			And I had come to know that there was a message of relief for me Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam had
informed the people about the acceptance of our repentance by Allah, after he had offered the fajr
prayer. So the people went out to give us congratulations, and some of them went to my companions in
order to congratulate them a man spirit on his horse towards me to give me the good news. And
another one from the tribe of SLM came money for the same purpose. And as he approached them out, I
received the good news which reached me before the writer did.
		
00:48:36 --> 00:49:09
			When the one whose voice I heard came to congratulate me, I took off my garments and gave them to
him for the good news he brought to me, but Allah I possess nothing else in the form of clothes
except these garments at that time, that I went and borrowed to garments dressed myself and came to
the Sula Salalah I sent them on my way. I met groups of people who greeted me and congratulate me on
my repentance they said congratulations on the acceptance of your repentance. I reached the Moscow
rasool Allah so I sent him a submit it sitting amongst the people, but having everybody like got up
and rush towards me, shook hands with me and greeted me. By Allah. No person stood up to greet me
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:15
			from amongst them I didn't, except for him. God then said, I never forgot this good gesture of
bulkhead near obey the law.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			What do you guys have here?
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:37
			God, we've mnemonic is that morning on his rooftop and all of a sudden, he hears Yeah, Kabini Malik.
I'm sure you know, the Sahaba they were in the misuse. So they heard what happened was they heard
the good news. And so Everybody's rushing out of the masjid. And one person is running.
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:48
			Okay, and then another person jumps onto a horse to beat the guy who's running everyone wants to get
the cabin radicals as fast as they can. And then another person figures out there something
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:00
			He
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:18
			comes in, he gives him his clothes out of his happiness. And then he goes to Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:51
			And when he goes to the masjid, obey the law, he jumps up, rushes up to him and shakes his hand and
the top of the mighty he says Latin sahalie Pulham never forget it. I'm never going to forget what
God didn't mnemonic did. Remember, you have to remember that God may not give this is a movie.
Goblin mnemonic is telling the story while he's old and blind. Remember at the beginning, he's old
and blind telling this story. So these flashbacks that we're having were decades ago, but just
remember that shit handshake from thought hype? Nirbhay de la cabane Matic all of those years, he
never forgot it. What do you get from this? What do you guys have?
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			We're almost done. I need you to still give me some energy though. Yes.
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:58
			Hey, guys out excited Lissa.
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:11
			Very good. When God was given good news, he returned back by giving him a gift as well. Very good.
Reciprocating goodness, yes.
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:34
			Very beautiful, pet incredible point. They'll have no obey the law does something that's small. You
know, when you think of thought when you're asking, if you were to ask them how, what were your
greatest deeds, I now don't have to obey the law, who paralyzed his hand, or defending Rasulullah
sallallahu. Salah who's wonderful, I should remember she didn't who migrated for the sake of Allah,
all of these huge sacrifices that he made all the law know
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:41
			that he's going to remember jumping up to shake the hand of God, when American community might have
repented.
		
00:51:42 --> 00:52:03
			It's not a big deal. But was it a big deal for COP? Absolutely. And there were things that people
did to you, or for you, there are compliments that people made to you at one point in time in your
life, that might have inspired you for years, and years and years and years. And if you were to
actually ask them, Do you remember when you said this, and this to me? And they're like, No,
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:06
			I don't even remember you to be honest.
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:34
			But you know what? You can be the same for other people, plant seeds, plant seeds, plant seeds of
goodness, it can be something so simple, like could be, you know, what month are we in, we're in
December, you might have some students graduating, and they're gonna post on Facebook, their
graduation picked. And you're going to have a choice between commenting and saying robotic
congratulations, reach for the stars or something corny like that, or just scrolling through it.
		
00:52:35 --> 00:53:07
			And you don't even think that that's a big deal. But to them, they're going to read every comment,
right? And they're going to see who who said, who left something. And so the Prophet SAW Selim was
once asked about it, Allah, and he said, Screw 123, who Allah muslim happiness that you bring to a
Muslim, just being a person who's just a master of this beautiful art of small gestures. Right,
bringing, bringing happiness in whatever way two people, it goes truly a long way. And many people
never forget. Okay, what else?
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:29
			Very good. Very good. If it wasn't like an obviously huge ordeal, then it wanted, the Muslim
community wouldn't have responded in such a great way. And they obviously did because of a number of
reasons. One is because Catherine Malik has two companions are great individuals. Two of them were
the people of bed, the guy who Mike was there for everything great companion, and so they were all
happy for him.
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:37
			And this shows us that the boycott was not out of animosity or anger or anything like that. It was a
corrective procedure. What else?
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:43
			God Almighty, He says, Where am I?
		
00:53:44 --> 00:54:22
			Okay? I agree that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and his face was beaming with pleasure. He said, abs
should behave the old man when Zuma look, rich, rejoice with the best day you have ever seen since
your mother gave birth to you? I said yeah to suit Allah. Is this good news from you or from Allah?
He said, No, it's from Allah. And it was common with the Prophet sallallahu Sydenham, that whenever
his he was happy, his face would glow as if it were a part of the moon. And that's how we recognize
his happiness. When I sat in front of him, I said, I have placed a condition upon myself, that if
Allah accepts my Toba, I would give up all of my property and charity for the sake of Allah and His
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:59
			Messenger lawsuit allah sallallahu sallam said, keep some of your property with you, it's better for
you. I then said, I'll keep with me that portion which is a play, but Yasuda Allah, Verily Allah has
granted me salvation because of my truthfulness. And therefore my repentance obliges me to speak
nothing but the truth as long as I'm alive. God then said, By Allah, I do not know anyone among the
Muslims, who has been granted truthfulness better than me since I said this little student last
Allah Leidos Allah by Allah since the time I made a pledge of this to the Rasul Allah so Allah said
Allah, I have never intended to tell a lie and
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:03
			I hope that Allah will protect me against telling lies for the rest of my life.
		
00:55:06 --> 00:55:23
			What do you guys get from this conversation? God we've nomadic speaks sort of Zulu Lhasa Salem, the
province has sent him is beaming at him. He says, Have glad tidings or congratulations on the best
day of your life, since your mother gave birth to you. And then
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:47
			God with pneumatic wants to donate some of his money or all of his money in charity as part of his
repentance. The Prophet SAW, I said, I'm says keep some of it, it's better for you. And that guy
would be mad. He says, I don't know. I was saved by my truthfulness. So I hope that I'm going to
speak the truth for the rest of my life. Very good, how serious it is to tell a lie. Very good. God
numedica saved from that by his truthfulness. What else?
		
00:55:48 --> 00:56:08
			His job is worth more to him than all of his wealth. In English, we say put your money where your
mouth is, it's easy to just cry and say, Oh, I repented, right? I'm not belittling it. But you know
what? Imagine if, for example, every time you committed a sin, you committed to yourself that I'm
going to when I repent, I'm going to put some money towards it. I'm going to do any of the $1,000 to
data digital.
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:11
			It might make you
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:21
			more serious in your commitment. Right. But again, what is your Toba worth to you? What is it worth
to you that Allah is good for gives you a sense? Yes.
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:31
			A lot as you forgave him before he died. True. hamdulillah many years before he died, he revealed
his repentance statement sorrows of Toba. What else?
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:44
			Very good. So sometimes I remember hearing this from your mom, cilantro had years and years and
years ago. He said sometimes the best thing that can happen to a person is to get caught.
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:53
			Sometimes that's the best thing that can happen to a person. And I found that to be true. And and
undeniably with gabion mediamatic. That was
		
00:56:55 --> 00:57:07
			also something very, very, very important. Pay attention to it. The prophets Allah said himself the
Kaaba, very interesting sentence. What does he say? He says, Congratulations on the best day.
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:15
			You know, if you were to just ask a person randomly, what's the best day of your life? Somebody
might say, the day I got married.
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:20
			The day I had my first child. The day I graduated,
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:22
			the day I got divorced.
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:40
			Lots of different things. But here the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is literally defining for us. What
is the best day of any of our lives? And it is the day that Allah azza wa jal accepts your
repentance.
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:45
			The best day of your life shouldn't be lady Omen, Moon zoom, Iowa live.
		
00:57:46 --> 00:58:24
			From the day your mother gave birth to you, congratulations on the best day of your life. And so we
ask Allah azza wa jal to make us experience the best days of our lives many many times in our
lifetime. Allahumma Amin, God we've numerical, the Allah No, he's intending to give in charity. And
then he added his own humility, or the Allah on who he says, I wish that I hope he says I don't know
anybody who has been more truthful. Since my time we fast forward to now to the end of IBM pneumatic
to him telling the story now, he's like, I don't know if anybody who's been more truthful since I
said that to the Prophet SAW, I set it up. And I hope that Allah has again will preserve me and
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:30
			protect me in what has come back. Now we get to the verses. Well remember way at the beginning.
		
00:58:31 --> 00:59:00
			Whenever we started this thing at 10am I'm just kidding. We started at like 5pm. But whenever we
started, I said that my goal is for you. When you hear these verses again, even though you've heard
them so many times. Now, because you've lived with God moving ematic these verses you are going to
when you read them, when you hear them, you are going to have a different reaction to them, because
you've understood the context, and you live with the Sahaba a little bit. Okay, so Bismillah so this
is sort of the Toba
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:10
			Okay, now come the verses where Allah azza wa jal revealed that accepted the repentance of God with
pneumatic Can you guys see it on the full screen?
		
00:59:11 --> 00:59:28
			Look what well long widen the U and mohajir in our o 40. Levina teboho FISA de la Rousselot teamie

01:00:03 --> 01:00:13
			his mother abandoned him Leah Tubu in Allah who was walking
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:38
			this next verse right here. Allah azza wa jal summarizes the entire moral of this entire story. The
entire story is summed up this verse right here hits you like a truck. It's so beautiful how the
entire, like the lesson of this entire story is summed up in this next verse. Yeah, a human love
Levine
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:50
			our cool new ma saw the thing. That's it after all of that Allah as we just says, Yeah, you halogen
duckula. Hakuna Masada
		
01:00:51 --> 01:01:37
			Oh you who believe fear Allah, and be in the company of the truthful. And that is how God in America
safe. And then cab says about himself. He says Allah azza wa jal then described. He says by Allah
since Allah guided me to Islam, there has been no blessing more significant for me than this truth
of mine which I spoke to the pseudo Lasala lie they have set it up. And if I were to lie, I would
have been ruined as we ruin those who had told lies for Allah describe those who told lies with the
worst description he ever attributed to anybody else as he sat down in the Revelation. So the
question here becomes What did Allah reveal about those ad people who made excuses to the private
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:41
			satellite and send them and they got off scot free? What did Allah reveal regarding them?
		
01:01:43 --> 01:01:57
			So yeah, Holly funa we learned he la comida kala to lie him literally one home for the war I'm home
in Asia so while home Jehan
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:27
			be Makkah and we xe goon Yeah. holophone Allah Bhawan Hamza in Baldwin homes in the law. Hello,
Warren Hill Councilman faceting. So they swear to please you, but even if you become pleased with
them, Allah azza wa jal will not be ever pleased with the disobedient people. So we come to the
conclusion now of the story of copy of pneumatic
		
01:02:29 --> 01:02:37
			it's a story of truthfulness as a story of patience, perseverance, repentance. And I wanted to just
end with the last few lessons from this section here.
		
01:02:39 --> 01:03:00
			We talked about spending wealth as part of repentance, that this is something about this habit of
the law on whom they practice without when they would, they would spend some of their wealth and
this is a lesson for us as well that you knew committed sin, you want to intend to rectify yourself,
the province of the lightest and instead of sadaqa, to Berhad. That sadaqa. Charity is proof.
		
01:03:01 --> 01:03:20
			it testifies to the truthfulness of a person, what are you willing to commit? Secondly, here
something very interesting is that kind of in your mind, he says, since I made the pledge sort of
Sula, send them he says, Since I accepted Islam, Allah so they never gave me a greater blessing than
that moment of truthfulness to the Prophet salallahu sin.
		
01:03:21 --> 01:03:35
			And so that made me think when we think about our greatest blessings, what are the blessings that we
think about if you ask a person who just count their blessings and we say that all the time, count
your blessings, count your blessings, we think about things like the prayer, we think about
		
01:03:36 --> 01:04:14
			our health, we think about money, we think about our family, we think about all these things. But
when was God when Marcus considering a moment, just a moment where he sat in front of the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, and he considered that to be one of he considered to be that his greatest
blessing after the blessing of Islam. And so do you think about a moment where you had as a
blessing, you know, even an evening like this, three hours that you spent four hours that you spent
reading a hadith, this may be worth the world and everything in it on the Day of Judgment. You don't
know. You know, think about a blessing like something like Subhan Allah Surah Fatiha something seven
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:30
			verses, we memorize them when we were kids, we don't even remember most of us when remember I sort
of did fight How would you have no idea? But yeah, the private cellulitis and and tells us that
there is nothing like sort of the fights in the Quran, or the Torah, or the NG, or there's a bull,
there's nothing like sort of the fatter.
		
01:04:31 --> 01:04:43
			That means are all of those great profits that we read about, they never had anything that was
similar to sort of the fatter all of them better than us. The 70 million Musa do I need to sit down
and nibble at him and the manure
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:59
			and we recycle the right out of the tip of our tongues. And we never think man, what an incredible
blessing that Allah has we did has gifted me with that and saw the flock and AYATUL kursi and all of
these, and the Quran and Islam
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:04
			And all of this is just incredible blessings, you know might have been a hot topic
		
01:05:05 --> 01:05:14
			when the Persian Empire fell, and the wealth of Kisara was brought to Medina and it was brought to
the message of the prophets of Elijah send them
		
01:05:16 --> 01:05:49
			and the Sahaba of the Allah and whom we're celebrating and they were excited, and one of the
servants of aroma while the Allah on who he recited the verse and he says could be probably lie will
be Ramadan for Bidadi Camillia fragua, hallo me Maya, my own. It says by the fuddle of Allah, the
Grace of Allah and His mercy, let the believers rejoice. It is better than everything that they
gather. So he's saying that this is the, the the Grace of Allah, this is the Mercy of Allah. So let
us rejoice Wilfredo me my own god whom are corrupt had the mean Mm hmm when
		
01:05:50 --> 01:06:22
			he says this isn't the this isn't the Grace of Allah. This isn't the Mercy of Allah. This is what
the people gathered this wealth here. This isn't Allah's mercy. This is what the people gather the
Mercy of Allah as it is Islam, the Grace of Allah as we had as the Quran, the ability to to, to know
Allah azza wa jal. And these are favours that you and I are swimming in. We're drowning in them, and
we forget about them. The story of God whooping Matic is the story of truthfulness. And it shows us
also the importance of friendship, how capital, the law and who was saved by his friendship.
		
01:06:23 --> 01:06:51
			And the last thing that I want to mention a lesson from God moving nomadic is that if you do the
right thing, then be happy. Gabi mediamatic went through 50 days of difficulty, but he was content
why, and he was eventually incredibly happy. In fact, he counted that moment with Rasulillah Salam
as the greatest blessing that he ever received even though it came with 50 days of difficulty why
because he was principled
		
01:06:52 --> 01:07:05
			of overcoming the law and has an amazing statement Allah I love it so much ever since the first time
I heard it it just captured my attention and my imagination because it shows the perspective of the
Sahaba you guys ready for it?
		
01:07:06 --> 01:07:33
			I'm telling you it's amazing. It's going to be so simple on you guys are going to be like man, I
wish I wrote that down and before I leave somebody's gonna walk up to me and say what did aboubaker
say again? Can you help me write it down so I'm telling you right now if you got quick fingers
either that or you're gonna need to boy your your eyes into my heart so you can memorize this
quickly woken up in LA he got up and he gave a hotspot and he says uh my bad for inner hula here if
you hate him by the WHO not Well, I shall official embeddable Jana.
		
01:07:36 --> 01:07:38
			Rub those rub those goosebumps back down.
		
01:07:39 --> 01:07:53
			He says in the hola higher if you're feeling bad the Hoonah when I shall officially embed the hula
Jana, there is no good in any good that leads to the hellfire. And there is no evil in any evil that
leads to paradise.
		
01:07:55 --> 01:08:39
			There is no good in any good. That leads to the hellfire. And there is no harm or evil in any evil
that leads the person to paradise. On this side is paradise. And in front of it is a whole lot of
things murder and starvation and imprisonment and, and fear and sadness and grief and illness and
all of these things. And now we're working with Elon who says if this path leads you to Paradise,
then there's no harm. And there's no evil in it. And in this side is the hellfire. And it's got
money and fame and pleasure and happiness and popularity and all of that. And I'm working on the
live says if this path leads you to the hellfire, then there's no good in that path at all. Right?
		
01:08:39 --> 01:09:12
			And it's the way that they used to view this world. And so all of the difficulties of the world
became easier to handle. When a person realizes that as long as it's taking them to Paradise, and
there's no problem. If it leads to Paradise, there's no problem. Right, beautiful. So this is some
of what we wanted to share with regards to cotton in America. And I really, really, really
appreciate all of you spending a portion of your time and ask Allah is the idea that he accepts from
us, and that he accept from us our gathering here at the province level by they said to me he says
that there is no group of people who gather in a house from the houses of Allah. They recite the
		
01:09:12 --> 01:09:44
			book of Allah together and they study it amongst themselves, except that mercy descends upon them
and tranquillity envelops them or tranquillity descends upon them and mercy envelops them and the
angels surround them with their wings and Allah as we had mentioned them in a company that's better
their their company ask Allah azza wa jal to that he mentions us in his company and ask Allah azza
wa jal that he make the best of our days, the day that we meet him, and ask Allah Azza to accept
from us the little that we do, and to give us guidance and steadfastness in this world with all of
the trials and tribulations that come with it, and ask Allah as we get together with the prophets
		
01:09:44 --> 01:09:52
			and the martyrs and the righteous and the truthful, what has to know Allah? Excellent companions are
those Zakum la Haytham cellulitis and um Amador a lot of cybersecurity Macizo
