ramen noodle him hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen sola to La he was salam ala Nabi will Karim Ali upon Salah to automata scheme rubbish rarely suddenly when especially in the in the sending of couple of Cody my brothers my sisters send them already come what I have to warn you all gotta catch up

00:00:21--> 00:00:50

once again as a reminder this for the sisters I know the TV is up but just for the sake of the Halacha and you know to make you feel as though you're part of the community and we want not just to make you feel but we want you to be part of the community. The back of the masjid or main prayer hall is open for you to come over and sit in if you want to Inshallah, today being the 14th day of the month of Ramadan, we'll go through the 14th Joseph Quran Hamdulillah

00:00:51--> 00:01:14

we are almost halfway through this blessed month, and two weeks have passed already. And just like that, the month comes and goes, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us from amongst those who benefit and maximize from our time throughout this month of Ramadan. And to make it easy for us to see many many more years and months of this blessed month me

00:01:16--> 00:01:22

going through the 14th is Joseph report. And we're going to take some verses from Surah hedger as well as the

00:01:24--> 00:01:40

title of the BS, one of one of the beautiful, I mean, they're all the sorts Surah of the Quran are beautiful, but one of the sources of the Quran that I absolutely love because it highlights a lot of the signs of Allah Subhana metallus greatness. And we'll take examples of that and shot along to Anna shortly.

00:01:41--> 00:02:20

Tonight as well, for those that are here that may, you know want to leave because it's a Friday night, we do have the dinner that's going to be served later on in sha Allah, so feel free to stick around and enjoy the VIP parking that you already got. For Tada, we, if you're here, stay here in sha Allah, there's no need to go anywhere. So in sort of the ledger, loss of handling data starts out this slot in the very beginning. If we look at verse number six, and once again, as you know, I always remind you know, those that are here regularly that I don't go over, I try not to go over the same verses that I have in the previous years, which is why some people might say, Why do you leave

00:02:20--> 00:03:03

out the first five verses, when you're just you know, at the beginning of the school, you may as well just take them right. But I do that intentionally because of time. And so that we don't go over the same as to every single year. So if we jumped to verse number six in the soil loss panel or whatever it shows us here, how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was spoken to and treated by the machine gun and a loss power to either says or call you. They say oh, you to whom the reminder is revealed. They're calling out to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they say to him in Nicola Majnoon, they say to him, you know, you're you're just crazy. You're a madman. You're insane.

00:03:04--> 00:03:44

Right? Imagination is insane. Someone who is not sane. So they say this to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam which is we would we take it as an insult, right? Any of us who was told we are insane or something's wrong with us, or if someone comes in and says, Oh, you know, your prophet that you follow? He was a madman, he was crazy. We get really offended, really upset. But we have to pause and think of how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam responded to these people, the machico and they were constantly saying things that were, you know, hurtful to the prophets on along were under us and that we know that they called him a soothsayer, a magician, a madman, we know that

00:03:44--> 00:04:13

they placed the intestines and the guts of the animals on the back of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we know that, you know, they threatened him and his family and many of the Muslims, but the reaction of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam is what we need to focus on. How did he react? And he was always very composed. And you know, it was really interesting. I'll give you an example of what happened today. In July. I didn't lead Juma here today, I lead in another masjid and we'll just keep the identity of the masjid out for the sake of the example.

00:04:15--> 00:04:51

And when I was leading drummer, one of the things that I mentioned at the end of my Courtois was that we shouldn't judge each other you know, we might see someone who we haven't seen in the mustard for some time or you might see something you've never seen in the mustard before you think to yourself all you know these are people that come to the masjid only for Ramadan. No, we shouldn't judge each other. And that was the last part of my football was that you know, sometimes people find nearness to Allah Subhana Allah and it happens to be the month of Ramadan and hamdulillah at least are here in the masjid. At least they are they've come to a loss of Hannah Montana and as soon as

00:04:51--> 00:05:00

the hookah and did began the Salah, now in the front row, right on the end, there was a brother who was sitting there with his two children and I personally

00:05:00--> 00:05:28

We know this brother. I knew I know him really well. He was part of our community and they moved, you know, so he's in you know frequents another masjid. And I haven't seen him in some time. But it was nice to see him I as I was doing the hook by saw him sitting there and his sons were there. Now, just like today, we see many children in front of us, because it's a long weekend. Right? It's a long weekend. So there were many children in the masjid. But this brother had his two sons with him, and his two sons are actually autistic.

00:05:31--> 00:06:03

And throughout the whole football, his children are there and you know, moving around like other children, but moving around a little bit more. And I kept seeing him and I know this brother, you really, like take so much care of his children. He was holding his child he was holding in, he's like kissing him telling this okay, don't worry, you know, trying to calm him down in the way that he knows how to deal with his children. His children are autistic. When the sun are finished, it was like the most embarrassing thing ever. Like five or six brothers, at least they really got up and ran over to the brother and started yelling at me.

00:06:04--> 00:06:17

Your kids are running around in the front of the masjid is one brother goes? Did you just become a Muslim? Today? You don't know what the monster does for you. Is that when you tell them Muslim brother? Did you just become Muslim today?

00:06:19--> 00:06:29

Another brother saying how wrong this is wrong. You can't do this. And you know, they're yelling at this brother. And I quickly grabbed the microphone and like calmed them down and said brothers, please.

00:06:30--> 00:06:59

We should not first of all be behaving this way in the month of Ramadan, or whatever I said is, you know, irrelevant point is that this is the way we behaved immediately after praying slots in July, when the masjid is filled with children. What type of example are we giving to the children? And I'm saying this example and they're here. What type of example are we giving to the children? Now as Muslims, for the children, and for the adults, we do not judge Islam based on the actions of the Muslims.

00:07:00--> 00:07:43

Do not look at another Muslim and say, Oh, that's Islam. That's how Muslims behave. This is how you know you people are this you read a book and you pretend to be Oh, holy and everything and No, no, no. The book is the truth. The Quran comes with the truth. The Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is guidance and his entire life came through when from Allah subhanho wa taala. Like everything he said, where he did all of it was from the plan of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So we should never judge the Muslims or judge Islam based on the actions of the Muslims. Okay. In addition to that, it's the month of Ramadan, like, we need to cool down a little bit like, relax. Okay, I

00:07:43--> 00:08:22

know, it's very easy for us to get worked up because we're hungry. Like, that's just a given, especially, you know, people say you're hangry, right, you become angry because you're hungry. But um, Hamdulillah we need to like, just be a little more level headed like Subhan. Allah, it's so easy for us to lose our cool, especially when we're fasting. And what does that say about us? That means when Shavon is locked up, and we are misbehaving, or overreacting or reacting in a way that is no good. And that's our true colors coming out. That's who we really are. That's our own pneus our own desires, just reacting in a certain way. And we need to be very careful of this. Because throughout

00:08:22--> 00:08:25

the month of Ramadan, what you see of yourself is who you really are.

00:08:27--> 00:08:55

Okay, so the prophets on a longer It was Sunday, what I really wanted to share here with this verse is, he's being called insane. And he doesn't respond in a way that is so like, harsh. He continues to convey verses of the Quran to the machico. This is what Allah says, right? Doesn't matter what you're saying to me, it's irrelevant. You can say whatever you want about me. And that leads me to my next point, is that as Muslims, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard.

00:08:56--> 00:09:02

Like if someone yells at us and says something negative about us, so what? So what

00:09:03--> 00:09:15

if we overreact or we react instantaneously, that means we might have a little bit of a lack of self confidence, that maybe we're not too confident as being a Muslim.

00:09:16--> 00:09:45

We're not too happy with our identity and who we are. So maybe we need to work more on ourselves that I don't appreciate is them. I don't appreciate being a Muslim enough. And so I hold I should hold learn to hold myself to a higher standard. Right and not just be the Muslim and beyond with my life. And when someone you know, says something that I overreact and say I need to defend this. Now, defending Islam is defending Islam the way the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam defended it

00:09:46--> 00:09:59

by showing that I'm better than you. You want to swear at me. That's your problem. I'm not going to swear you remember the story of called Elan Javion. Right, the sons of Adam Atticus, called deal threatened to help you

00:10:00--> 00:10:35

Have you ever says I'm not going to do anything to you says I'm going to hit you and kill users. Okay? If you do that, then you do that. I'm not going to do anything to you, you're my brother, you're my brother, showing a better example that this is the way we're supposed to be. So as Muslims, we hold ourselves to a higher standard, but at the same time, we make sure that we don't let every little thing that comes from every Tom, Dick and Harry affect us. Because we live in a country and it's not the country we live in a place where we are a minority. So there's going to be a lot of people around us that have different opinions.

00:10:36--> 00:10:59

Be strong in your deed, be focused in your in your belief in Allah subhanaw taala and be confident that you as a Muslim are who you're supposed to be. And the person who doesn't have what you have is the one who you should feel sorry for the one who will continue to help and try to guide towards Allah subhanho wa taala.

00:11:00--> 00:11:09

we fast forward to verses number 44 to 45. Allah subhana wa Tada here talks about Jana, sorry Jahannam and then Jana,

00:11:10--> 00:11:40

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada mentions that shaytaan responds to a lawn says, My Lord for allowing me to stray I will surely tempt them on Earth and mislead them altogether. Right this is before verse number 44 and 39. So Shavon receives permission from Allah subhanaw taala to whisper to us and to try to distract us from the remembrance of Allah subhana wa Tada then Allah subhana wa Tada says, like in Nigerian, and I never worry doom. He

00:11:41--> 00:11:54

said there had to be liquid libre, in whom juice matters to us how it Allah mentions Johanna as a place that those who disbelieve will be forever

00:11:57--> 00:12:35

and that it has seven gates into each of them. There's a certain designation and then Allah subhanaw taala talks about Jana in Elmo Terbinafine region, do you want to you don't will do who know happy, sad. I mean, He, Allah subhanaw taala talks about Jana, there's gardens that will be springs, right water that flows beneath it. And it will be said to the people who enter into paradise or the hula, the salah when meaning enter in peace and security, you're safe. Now.

00:12:37--> 00:12:40

Let me ask you a question. How many of you feel safe on Earth?

00:12:43--> 00:12:44

Who feels safe?

00:12:45--> 00:12:46

That if you

00:12:47--> 00:12:49

were sitting in a masjid, you don't feel safe,

00:12:51--> 00:12:54

I would hope that we feel safe, raise your hand if you feel safe.

00:12:56--> 00:13:11

From the luck, good, good, we should all feel safe, right? We should all feel safe. But at times we become worried at time the anxiety kicks in stress, and we start to become a little bit concerned. Right.

00:13:13--> 00:13:51

And that's because maybe we're getting older, we're gonna go to high school or go to university, we might feel intimidated by who's there, right the classes, the grades, the subjects, right, it's a little bit challenging. And we need to apply to university and get into the program that we want to get into. And hopefully it's the program that you desire, right and the program that you enjoy, and not the program that your parents tell you, you have to go into and you don't have a choice, write the program that you want to do, to get into the profession that you want to get into to work, you know, doing whatever it is that you want to do. Whether you want to get into business or finance or

00:13:51--> 00:14:12

you know, you want to get into med school, or architecture, drafting whatever it is, whatever you want to get into engineering, we can't leave that out. And it of course, right that's important. We leave that out. It's like a great big problem. All of Milton is IT experts of the law. So you get into the profession you want to get into. Right? But throughout all of these steps,

00:14:13--> 00:14:38

there's a little bit of fear that a bit of anxiety, I don't know how it's going to be become stressed. So even though we feel safe at times in life, we become scared. So here's a question. You get a brand new car. Are you happy when you get a brand new car? Yes, right? Or you get a brand new toy you get something that's brand new, you're happy but you're scared at the same time that it might get damaged.

00:14:39--> 00:15:00

Right you fear that someone might dent your car or you might drop your new tablet or you know whatever it is that you got you might drop on the floor or something happens something spills on it and collapse it gets destroyed. So there's always this element of fear that's always there. Anxiety like Okay, what if this happens? What if that happens in Jannah? There's none of that. Right? It's just goodness.

00:15:00--> 00:15:21

and continuous goodness, like there's no fear, peace and tranquility you're always going to be there you have this safety and security around you and peace of mind that nothing is ever going to go wrong. Because everything in it is perfect. Right? Because it's designed by Allah subhanaw taala for us to be that way.

00:15:22--> 00:15:48

And so when we think of Jannah a lot of the time people say, well I have things in Jannah that I have on earth that I enjoy. Now Allah subhanaw taala knows that there's things on earth that we enjoy and he uses this example of like fruits right different fruits that we have in this dunya will be different in the hereafter agenda, but we'll have similar kinds of fruits but a lot of the time we think to ourselves will I have something agenda that I have in this world?

00:15:51--> 00:15:54

When we get to agenda we probably won't even think of having those days.

00:15:56--> 00:16:02

I remember a good friend of mine saying one of the things he wants to agenda is like this river of chocolate

00:16:05--> 00:16:22

all right, is good friend of mine is actually sitting amongst us today. Right? This river of chocolate. You know Charlie in the Chocolate Factory you guys remember that? Are you too young for it? You don't remember? Right? This huge river of flowing chocolate you can just go and enjoy yourself. Right that'd be absolutely amazing.

00:16:23--> 00:16:59

Subhan Allah when we get to Paradise sometimes the things that we wish for we wouldn't want because we're so we're in such off. Allah created a soul amazing for us. We're like, No, hey, this is all mine. Hola, hola, como, and you just go and you enjoy. Right? It's like if I was to tell you right now we're sending you on a trip for unveiling you've never been there before. And you get to look and you see the car but you don't remember anything of this world here. Just so in awe of what you're seeing in front of you. The Muslims people making throw off your home, the smell of the site, the caravan in front of you thinking of Ibrahim alayhis salam is very interesting if a Prophet

00:16:59--> 00:17:11

salallahu Alaihe Salam you're like wondering to yourself Are these the footsteps Is this where the prophets of Allah where it was salam was did Abu Bakr the Obama instead hear like all these things are running through your mind? You forgot about the world that you live in.

00:17:13--> 00:17:47

Similarly when you get to Jannah a lot of the time when we think to ourselves like Oh, I'm gonna want the things of this dunya or wants to have Hannibal Lecter has got to give us things even better than it. So the Ferrari forget the Ferrari and have something even better. Right? The beautiful home with the five bedrooms and the ensuite bathtub, forget that. We have homes made of gold and silver bricks and pearls inside and the dirt and sand around it is made of saffron. Right ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada beautifies it for us. You get there and you're like wow, this is mind boggling beyond Divi.

00:17:48--> 00:18:21

And the last time it's allocated to us, huge pearls that are hollowed out for you to go into unrest. Huge pearls in this dunya these little pearls and we put them side by side on the next lesson we hang them around the neck right sister hangs it around her neck and beautiful we enjoy the pearls right? They're beautiful. One huge Pearl you go inside of it and you enjoy the rest inside. Just imagine what its gonna look like inside you know any of you sat inside a Rolls Royce before anyway?

00:18:22--> 00:18:28

No, no one no one wrote in a Rolls Royce Wahaca you need to go to England they pick up Muslims from the airport in Rolls Royce.

00:18:30--> 00:19:09

I remember I went to England on one trip and they picked me up with a Rolls Royce and I sat down inside in the back and all these stars twinkling above me on the ceiling and the seat starts massaging leaves my sponsor was amazing. So beautiful hamdulillah right luxuries of this world but when you get there you think to yourself wow, this is like you never even thought of it. Allah subhanaw taala will make things everything the smells, the sight of things that you see the things that you touch, they won't feel like what we feel is gonna like it touches me like that. Couldn't we get some better material? You know people come they go wash on water watercolor really nicely like

00:19:09--> 00:19:11

as they're touching they're like man, I didn't think it was that that

00:19:12--> 00:19:42

some have a lot in the Africa it would be so amazing. So Allah subhanaw taala showing us that here talking about you know, the servants of his those who worshipped ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada in this dunya they're all their their their sadness, and everything will be removed. Their hearts are happy, they're content with ALLAH SubhanA wa what's ahead, and then we move on to the next one. Okay, we'll move to salt in the Surah of the bees. The buzzing bees, okay.

00:19:43--> 00:19:44

In surah to

00:19:45--> 00:19:47

the very first verse.

00:19:48--> 00:19:50

Allah subhanho wa Taala says,

00:19:51--> 00:19:54

spin around the Rahim at

00:19:56--> 00:19:59

Morocco he further tests their genome

00:20:00--> 00:20:04

Whoo. So the water

00:20:06--> 00:20:13

you should equal to the command of a war is at hand at how Allah

00:20:14--> 00:20:21

this is referring to the fact that the destruction of this world and the beginning of the Hereafter is near.

00:20:22--> 00:20:24

It's very close

00:20:26--> 00:20:30

fella to start with you don't rush it ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada sang.

00:20:31--> 00:21:06

And remember, I gave the example the other day of the machine who and and how they would say, you know, Where's where's this punishment or give us a sign and the previous nations we spoke about who that's all and so on, or even a setup and how their people asked to bring this punishment once we see the punishment we'll believe it's too late. So all of us pan with either saying the Command of Allah is at hand, don't hasten it. Don't rush the end of times. Do as many good deeds as you can. A prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam encourages us if the day of judgment comes and in your hand is a seed planted.

00:21:08--> 00:21:44

There'll be like, Oh, the Day of Judgment is your house. That's the end of times or Allah says in the Quran, the End of Times is near so I don't need to do anything good. Just believe in cost. Like you know, tomorrow the End of Times is coming. And don't be like those that say Oh, this is a sign of the end of times this is and that isn't this isn't that isn't okay to jail is coming. No, no, continue to live as a worshiper continue to believe in Allah subhana wa Tada continue to implement the deen and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu. It was summed up in our lives. And you'll notice and recognize that you focus more on doing what you're supposed to do, as opposed to worrying about

00:21:44--> 00:21:45

things that never come in your life.

00:21:47--> 00:21:52

Because people sit in the worry and the stress, you don't need to keep doing good.

00:21:53--> 00:22:03

cross that bridge when you get there. When something comes, cross that bridge when you get there. There's no need to worry about it right now. So Allah subhanaw taala says,

00:22:05--> 00:22:46

Glorified and Exalted is He above all that they associate with Him in worship, we skip to, in fact, I'm going to skip through the next few dozen verses. And I'll just mention some of the things that last Pettaway data says here, Allah subhanaw taala talks about ring, right And verse number 10 and 11, he addresses rain. And he says he is the one who sends down rain from the sky from which you drink and by which plants grow for your cattle to graze with it. He produces for you various crops, olives, palm trees, grape vines, and every type of fruit surely in this is a sign for those who reflect and he has subjected for you, for your benefit the day in the night and the sun in the moon

00:22:46--> 00:22:58

and the stars, and so on and so forth. So here, Allah subhanaw taala touches upon many of his signs of His greatness is near things that he's blessed us with. And if you really think of it rain,

00:22:59--> 00:23:01

we're talking about rain the other day,

00:23:03--> 00:23:06

knew how to hit send and receive the arc, write the command to build the arc.

00:23:08--> 00:23:15

And the same rain that we enjoy that comes out of the bottle that you drink or the glass that you drink from.

00:23:16--> 00:23:39

The same rain that falls down upon us when we're showering, right, taking a nice hot shower, relaxing, the same rain that we see coming out of the taps when we open the tap at home, whether it's cold or hot, we have the choice, that same rain if it's put together in the ocean, and Allah subhanaw taala blows the wind or has the wind blow

00:23:41--> 00:23:42

can be very harmful to us.

00:23:44--> 00:23:46

And it's the same droplets.

00:23:47--> 00:24:12

But Allah subhanaw taala changes its composition. Now it's coming at you with full force. You remember when the tsunami hit. There's been many tsunamis, but I remember when it hit parts of Southeast Asia, Thailand, Sri Lanka a few years ago, about 1415 years ago, that was like a huge thing. I remember seeing it it was like Subhanallah Is this real?

00:24:14--> 00:24:19

hamdulillah Allah Subhan with me with the ability to go to the island of Phuket in Thailand.

00:24:20--> 00:24:28

And I gave hotbar in the masjid where the water the tsunami came and covered everything and stopped right at that masjid.

00:24:29--> 00:24:42

And the Imam was telling me he's like this mustard. The water stopped right here, right where we were sitting. I was sitting outside the masjid with the email. And one of the brothers who was translating and he was telling me is like the water stopped right here. didn't touch the Masjid.

00:24:43--> 00:24:47

It's kind of like looking at the power and lights and strength of a bus panel and

00:24:48--> 00:24:53

he brings destruction where he wants and stops it from touching what he doesn't want.

00:24:54--> 00:24:59

Everything around. It was destroyed. Everything around it was destroyed completely.

00:25:00--> 00:25:27

If you go there today on the island, every street sign has an arrow pointing in a direction with a man running. And it shows how many meters to safety. So basically every street sign indicates to you if there's a tsunami warning once again, and allow the alarm sounds, they look at any street sign, and it'll tell you the quickest route to get to high grounds every street sign. So

00:25:28--> 00:25:35

we don't have that here. We live like with, we have snow that falls here. We live differently.

00:25:36--> 00:26:13

When Allah subhanaw taala showed us how he can bring the water that just went away, it receded. And then just came and destroyed everything. And people were standing there filming it, thinking like, Oh, this is amazing, not realizing Allah Subhana Allah is bringing something so heavy upon them. So my brothers and sisters next time you think of drinking some water, think about this water is it is provisions for us to drink to quench our thirst to rehydrate our bodies that is made up primarily or mostly of water.

00:26:14--> 00:26:38

When we're having a thought and having dinner, and food is being wasted, and water is being wasted think this same water was given to me in this bottle. It could have been given to me in a huge flood. It could have been given to me in a different way. But Allah allowed it to come to me where I can just take it and use it and consume it peacefully and Hamdulillah. So don't waste it. Don't waste it.

00:26:39--> 00:26:56

Cherish it. And then Allah subhana which I mentioned night and day, Sun and Moon, all of the earth Subhanallah just the other day, I was in my office with Dr. Ahmed. Dr. Amer in our community, he's one of the brothers usually prays right here in the evening. He's a chiropractor.

00:26:58--> 00:27:15

He was telling me growth hormones, right? You know, we have growth hormones that are released in the body. He says they're released only when you go to sleep. But he says Allah subhanaw taala only allows your body to release them if you sleep at night. But not if you sleep in the day.

00:27:16--> 00:27:51

If you sleep during the daytime, you don't get the benefit of those growth hormones. So he was telling me like people who work night shift is very difficult for them. Their bodies suffered drastically because of the amount of shifts and hours that they do at night and they don't sleep properly throughout the night time. Allah subhanaw taala created the night for us to rest and the daytime for us to work. Now people always ask this question, well, if Allah created to make for us to rest, why does the prophets of Allah where I need to send them stand up, get up and pray in the night? Shouldn't we be resting? Yeah,

00:27:52--> 00:28:22

we should rest in the first part of the night. Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would get up in the last third, sometimes the last half of the night. And they had shifts in Medina to Manawa there was some of the Sahaba they wouldn't be awake for the first half of the night. And then they would call the den. Calling you then is telling the people who are awake in the first half of the night, go home and rest and be with your family now, and the people that are at home, get up, it's time for you to come and do a bad job. That's why there's two events. Right?

00:28:24--> 00:28:37

That was common. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam waking up and doing a guy that at night, we think to ourselves, oh, we're supposed to sleep. So we use the excuse and say but Allah created night to sleep. Yes, but he tells us get up in the last third of the night.

00:28:39--> 00:29:19

Get up in the last third, worship Allah Subhan with that, and you'll find that that very bad that we do at night, not the work to earn monies to earn money like dollars and cents. But there are a ladder that we do at night, Allah subhanaw taala puts Baraka in our sleep. You don't feel like you need that sleep anymore. You don't feel tired. Allah blesses you in so many different ways. Not only does he put Baraka in your sleep, those who get up in the night realize that Allah subhanaw taala has put Baraka in their day as well. And in their earnings, and in their business transactions and in their time with their family and in the way that they are and so on and so on and so on.

00:29:20--> 00:29:29

I have countless examples of community members who tell me you know, they were going through the worst of the worst moments in their lives, and they started with the hatchet.

00:29:30--> 00:29:59

One of the brothers Subhan Allah, may Allah subhana wa Tada, bless him. He would come into the masjid door and whenever he would see me he would literally break down like a baby crying tears flowing down his cheeks. So much stress so much anxiety so much depression in his life, like unbearable amounts worried about his business that fails worried about his daughters worried about his family worried about how's he going to make payments worried about everything you can think of?

00:30:01--> 00:30:10

And then a few years later, you know, I obviously kept in touch with him. He's one of our community members. But a few years later, he invited me to his office,

00:30:11--> 00:30:24

his business, so I went to his office, I was like, wow, show a lot, a lot of color like this. All this is yours. Like, this is amazing. He's like how the lie says, I'll tell you one thing, share it with the community.

00:30:25--> 00:30:28

If people knew the importance of tahajjud, they would do it.

00:30:30--> 00:30:42

He says the one thing that saved me is tahajjud, praying at night. He says I did that I no longer worry about my children. I no longer worry about my business. I no longer worry about anything, nothing. He's like,

00:30:43--> 00:31:22

everything's fine. He earns so much money, he employs his family, all of his family members. hamdulillah purchased recently, you know, not long ago, houses in the millions hamdulillah Allah subhanho wa Taala turn things around completely for him. And when you ask him, he says, one thing, get up and pray at night. And you'll see how your life changes and how things turn around. Then Allah Subhana Allah mentions here to look at oceans, mountains, rivers, roads, stars. And then he says, what interests do no matter what you

00:31:23--> 00:31:31

try to count the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala that you'll never be able to count them, you'll never be able to tabulate all the lessons almost kind of like

00:31:33--> 00:31:47

and then so on. And so I was kind of the data goes into so much more if you skip down to verse number 68 to 81. I was hungry to have it talks about the bees, and how he tells the bees to make their homes in the trees in the mountains. Right.

00:31:48--> 00:32:14

They have instructions as well. Animals have instructions. They're a Beda their worship of Allah subhanaw taala is by doing what they do as animals. So if you see a lioness hunting, a zebra, that is there a burden of the animal, it is doing what Allah subhanaw taala programmed it to do. It's fulfilling what it's supposed to do.

00:32:16--> 00:32:41

And then you see insects, some insects are bigger and they eat some, you know smaller ones. That's what it's supposed to do. Right? Certain animals certain things on earth that a loss of habitat have created they do what a loss of habitat has created them to do. And they fulfill that so the bees they go and they eat from the flowers of the trees right the pollen they go and they eat it and Allah Subhana Allah gave them the command to go and do that.

00:32:42--> 00:32:52

And from the honey that they produce from their bellies, and we know how much honey the average bee in their entire life produces how much honey in their entire life

00:32:57--> 00:32:58

very little Yes, but how much

00:33:02--> 00:33:03

a teaspoon of honey

00:33:04--> 00:33:05

in their entire life.

00:33:07--> 00:33:10

teaspoon of honey. Right?

00:33:12--> 00:33:43

All that work. Imagine how many miles every day going flying from flower to flower, losing your balance right, getting going into the middle of a flower and is wrong and it falls over and you're like hanging on the bee is working really hard working really really hard. For what just to produce this honey. There's the bee benefit from the honey we benefit from the honey. We take the honey and Allah subhanho wa Taala has quit Shiva in the honey. It's a cure for illness for disease is so beneficial for us.

00:33:44--> 00:33:58

And that bee is working hard for us to benefit. And Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us that you know their contribution to agriculture. Not only are the bees doing that, but they're also allowing other plants to continue to grow.

00:34:00--> 00:34:02

Without the bees going and pollinating plants.

00:34:04--> 00:34:17

We have to do it manually ourselves. And then a lot of our agriculture is affected because we can't effectively or efficiently actually go and do all of that. So Allah subhanaw taala has put the bees there to do that.

00:34:19--> 00:34:46

And then he mentions again signs of His blessings that Allah subhanaw taala calls out from these examples that we have you know as human beings, our own livelihood and we have our spouses and our children and our grandchildren. And then Allah subhanaw taala mentions hearing and sight and birds and homes and furnishings and clothing and shade places of refuge mountains garments, clothing to keep us warm all of these things Allah subhana wa Tada mentions here in this

00:34:48--> 00:34:50

amazing amazing

00:34:52--> 00:34:55

so if you have never read through certain

00:34:56--> 00:34:59

and you've never read through the translation of it, then do so

00:35:00--> 00:35:15

I understand what ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is saying to us in the soil. And you know what's even, you know, more beautiful as well as when you recite through the soil in Arabic you enjoy the surah even though you don't even know what's being mentioned in it.

00:35:16--> 00:35:28

Right for those that don't know Arabic they enjoy just listening to the it's from the beauty and miracles of the Quran that Allah subhanaw taala created. Remember, you're so intrigued by it because you're hearing the word of Allah habitat.

00:35:29--> 00:35:41

You're hearing the word of Allah subhanho attack. And this is why and we'll end with this in sha Allah to Allah. It's important for us to continue to encourage our youth and ourselves to memorize the Quran.

00:35:42--> 00:36:14

memorize the Quran, be from those who preserved the word of Allah subhanaw taala in the National Nurses and that vichara were in the hula, half evil Allah's poet Alice's that he's one who gave permission for the Quran to come down. He had it revealed to us through Angel Djibouti to the Prophet salallahu, Salam to the Sahaba and so on and so forth. And we receive it today. So recite the Quran, learn it, memorize it, preserve it, Allah Subhana Allah says we're in level a half evil,

00:36:15--> 00:36:20

that it is a loss of hunted animal preserves, and he doesn't give it to every person.

00:36:22--> 00:37:02

So if you really want it, work for it, and you'll see Allah subhana data will bless you with it. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us from amongst those that learn the Quran, the implement the Quran and memorize the Quran and teach the Quran We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us from amongst those who live by the Quran. And may Allah subhanaw taala make it easy for us to implement the Sunnah Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam in our lives in Europa Alameen which is optimal level Haven once again it's Friday evening. Also fasting so don't just waste this time. Use this time if you haven't recited to calf recite Surah to calf it's Friday right? Make dua to Allah subhanaw taala at a time

00:37:02--> 00:37:43

of your has accepted might be raining it's supposed to rain this evening. Again when it rains your hands accepted so think of the layers of Allah Subhan with Allah is mercy that are upon us right now. Right? Absolutely amazing. So take advantage of this time. Don't waste it don't you know make yourselves feel as though I can't do anything else no be relaxed but be relaxed with a loss of herd of water how to do that is pleased with push ourselves a little bit more. And Allah subhana wa Tada will show us the benefits of our efforts when we reach the day that we stand before him was one way to add and make us from amongst those that are under the shade on that day. So that can allow him to
