The "monster world" is not something that is completely out of place, and people should not say that they are. The "monster world" is a collection of words that refers to a future state, and people should not use "monster" and "monster" to describe their behavior.

			My dear respected elders and brothers Today's the first Juma after Ramadan Mubarak. And there is no
doubt that in Ramadan, there was a spiritual energy, there was a spiritual environment that can
never be regained after Ramadan. Actually, you can actually feel the environment, it's absolutely
palpable here today, compared to the environment that was in Ramadan, we can actually feel that that
environment that was in Ramadan is not there today. And while we might say that and it's a reality,
we still have to continue to comply with the commands of Allah in all walks of life. In Islam, there
is no dichotomy between the spiritual and the mundane between the dunya and the asset. And we this

			is all one you know, Dean is Dean, religion is religion, in Islam, even dounia and world becomes
Dean with a correct intention. And with a correct method, Islam men, accurate or rowhani yet, or
dunya we are Kukui dunya McCartney, we find today in this world many times, it happens like this,
that those who are in the world, when they are in grace in this material world, they forget
religion. Religion plays no part in the life and those who many times are in religion, not always,
in the true sense of the word is not supposed to be like that. But many times those who are in
religion, they forget the worldly responsibility. Board Mathias say what the heck, Eva Ashima

Morocco I was put on a carton. Now we find that even in the previous world, people had created this
dichotomy. This was the world This was the Mark Twain it said East East West is West in the twain
shall never meet in the ancient world and maybe perhaps in pockets of the modern world. You found
that many times people felt the only way to come closer towards Almighty Allah is to stay away from
this world. Many times people head this the only way to stay away from or to come close to Allah is
		
00:03:24 --> 00:04:00
			to stay away from the material world you find in Christianity, the monasticism and then you find
amongst Hindu monks and Buddhist monks who stayed away from all aspects of dunya you know, God
cinecon A Kaka gjennom Allah tala cerca de bajo la Santa Jakob hamdu dunya Segura. Now there is no
joy left in life after that. What joy is there in life in a person stays away from the halaal and
legitimate pleasures of this world. Now therefore natella in the Holy Quran has told us
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:53
			de la cuchara motivasi mahalo Lola come, oh believers to not make Haram. The worldly pleasures that
take you back. The wonderful pleasures the halaal pleasures which Allah has made halaal for you a
letter and say stay away from this worldly pleasures, and then a yakka Hey, Joe dounia we cheese Joe
halali Dora na, and Anita Cusco haram carto Why do you make it around? Yeah, you and me You live up
to Halima Hannah Luna, why do you make her Ah, but Allah has made Allah. So there are those people
who felt the only way to come closer to Allah is to stay away from this material world. On the other
hand, you found the other extreme, you find that which has been perhaps encapsulated and manifested
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			by the western civilization, who fell there The only thing you must do in this world today
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:45
			Is that you must have dunya without dunya there is no joy. There is no pleasure there is no life
there is no ambition there is no desire. They have said the only thing is only dunya in here in La
Jolla tuna dunya Nevada hamanaka Poussin says Allah in the Quran, the mindset is, we only have this
dunya we do not live in it, there is no accurate there is no resurrection, there is no
accountability. That is also something that all upon humanity by this is to is to manifest for us to
describe what has happened to this world. Everything is only dunya. What has happened is we have
taken away spirituality we have taken away mortality, we have taken away ethics, people make jokes
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:13
			with regard to it. Sometimes people say, you know, my wallet is like an onion. Every time I open it,
I cry. There is no money. Sometimes people say, you know people tell me after I've done good to
them, you have done so much good to us. We don't know how to repay you, as if they never heard about
money. You know, so everyone people only looks upon money is the only way for a person success.
People have made this into a situation and we find this
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:37
			many times in the way the western civilization has put it in Islam. We find that this is not the way
Islam has taught us the right balance. Islamic said no, no. material world is not everything. The
material world is not everything Allah tala warns us about being too engrossed in this material
world. Well, Mahajan, Hayato dunya Illa, Allah,
		
00:06:38 --> 00:07:01
			Allah Allah says this material world is amusement and play, you know, inhale don't don't regard it
as your actual you know, get your actual objective in the 28 CFR 37 support of the Holy Quran in
surah Hadi most beautiful description of this material world he Allahu Allah Hayato dunia Allah,
Allah was enough to what the
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:36
			what the Catherine family will Allah three phases Allah makes mention and listen to this brothers.
Allah says know that this material world is entertainment and amusement. Well Am I right? In the
Tafseer of this, that this is the stage in our youth. I'm Giovanni Giovanni Mata Calle code, a llama
animal Daniela Eva, we only worried about amusement entertainment playing playing games on the
phone, smartphone all the time. Nowadays elders also playing games on the smartphone
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			to Daniela was ina to what
		
00:07:42 --> 00:08:18
			Then comes a time adornment zerah to waterfox Rubina calm and competing with one another with regard
to your possessions. Now, what happens after you are middle aged after you get married what happens?
Now, you know more so much inclined towards amusement and play in games. Now, in your middle age,
what happens is you start taking pride in your possessions and your clothes and your car, look at
the people who are middle aged how they are competing with one another you got this guy got this
guy, you got a mug I got a BMW i got i got a Porsche. So, see the two whatever
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:34
			Then comes a time with a Catherine film Hollywood Ola, then comes a time you take pride in the
amount of wealth and children that we have. Now when you got when you old what happens now, when you
become old This is now you are saying tomorrow
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:41
			look at my son how he is look at my grandson. Now what occurred through film was this is the reality
of this world.

			Ebola was in a
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:59
			watarrka through family whether or not this is the reality of a human beings life. The three phase
after that what happened you go into the cover. But this Allah tala warns us with regard to it. Let
me saucer make dua that Allah Akbar Amina
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:09
			Amina La Jolla Tomatina Allah don't make this material world the be all and end all of our life now
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:53
			Amina do not make it the be all and end all. Allow monotony Tanya bara homina Mala Mala elmyra to
not make it the reason why we gain knowledge. Today everyone by and large is gaining knowledge how
much money I'm going to make. My degree in my profession, how much I'm going to earn. I think it is
a tragedy that we choose our professions on the basis of how much money you're gonna make. Choose
your profession because of your passion. You want to do something with your life. You want to serve
people you want to make it make a change in people's life in your life. When I was at Illumina via
Tara, Bettina don't make this material world the end of all your desires. This is Marisa slums da
		
00:09:54 --> 00:10:00
			Subhana Allah so this is the way we are so Islam on one hand is do not say that you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:45
			was make this material and everything. On the other hand he did not say that forsake this material
world. It did not say stay away from this material world. Islam has taught us Islam does not approve
of monasticism, Islam robatayaki harmony, Islam didn't say that you must stay away from this
legitimate pleasures of this material world. He does tell us he does not tell us to permanently
isolate ourselves from this material world, the pleasures and from material and worldly
responsibilities. It does tell us to take periodic breaks from the material world. Listen to what
I'm saying. He does not tell you to stay away from the world. It does not tell you to stay away from
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:39
			worldly responsibilities. It tells you to take periodic breaks why you take that periodic breaks I
will come back to tell you why you take it so now for example richardo luckily he tiara to one obey
and decree law economist Salah eater is we take we take periodic breaks, Islam nicaya can walk them
for walk them up near dunya accept. More Nika subak dana data khemka hamara Salim t Han na can dunya
Sephora mucho Jai or dunya se Dora, Amara Celine Dion. Yay. Dunya marakkar and Nakia ma dhamaka
poppin Hawker. That is a reality. We must stay in this world and do a Nautilus command. It doesn't
tell us tell you stay away from this world and only responsibilities. So for example, take a
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:58
			periodic break time of namaz calm you stay away beleived Numero Uno. So once once you went into the
marketplaces, the moment Zoho Roseanne came, people started going towards the masjid. He said
Subhana Allah. This is about what Allah tala says in the Quran. region will not will he him try to
obey and decree law.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:44
			These are the people who don't allow the material wealth when it Chara, they don't allow the teacher
to divert them from remembering Allah and from performing so that we take periodic breaks from our
worldly things. We don't cut ourselves off. And then of course, we find in Ramadan that's what we
did. In Africa, for example, people who said they took a periodic break from the worldly
responsibilities from the worldly pleasures to set in the houses of Allah to gain the pleasure of
Almighty Allah and they get the clear clear closeness to Allah to Allah subhanho wa Taala so we take
periodic breaks to strengthen us and this worldly responsibilities is part of our team idiota
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:54
			cemetery Hey, what did he say? What a beautiful example has been made mentioned in one of the
incidents and manifest Sylvia Lozano was paired with
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:11
			Dr. de la. So when they were paired together in me salsa made them brothers. So Salim is a
manufacturer of gelatin went to the house of a good dub dub. When he came to the house he was
shocked. The house was untidy, it was not kept clean.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			This was before Partha
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:36
			cam came in the fourth year after his re Hitler took place first second, he maybe saw some paid the
Mahajan answer. So midata in shabby clothes, absolutely shabby clothes, not worried about
appearance. Some Mufasa said Amita What is this? Why are you staying like this? Look at your house.
Look at your appearance. She said Your brother
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			has no desire of this world.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:48
			Why must I dress myself up? Why must I look after the house? He has got absolutely no inclination to
this world.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:14:31
			So then at the time of eating came, she presented the food because now some nfrc is a visitor or
she's part of that. He told someone Farsi Kala Buddha let us speak I got Rosa. So submanifolds He
said, I won't eat until you also eat. So sermanni Farsi raviolo Newtonian this, a Buddha broke his
Rosa and he ate with him. At the time of the after Isha. He said, allow me I'm going to pray the
whole night. So many Pharisees said no, you can pray. You sit here with me. And you sleep for a
while. And then you get up and then you can make it and go make it you know? And then he said no, I
want to pray. I said no. You sit here till you sit with me. You rest a little while you go and sit
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:59
			with your family and then you pray the hatred towards the latter portion of the night. And then the
next morning. The next morning both of them went to Nivea cream sauce. Listen to this brothers. Both
of them went to nemea creme de la jolla Salem when they went to Nivea cream sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. We saw Sam heard both of the views. Do you know now you and I would say that No, nobody
saw slim would have given a decision in favor of a Buddha that he wanted to spend the entire night.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			Anybody that we saw silom gave a decision in favor of salmaan FRC and you know what he said? He
said, Oh, I'm
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:23
			in le de Nikolic, Huck manikarnika, Minnesota konica. And all our mu delta. Your Dean has a right
upon you. Your wife has a right upon you. Your wealth has right upon you. The dunya has right upon
you.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:16:11
			This is what it is you have to do. This is what Islam is all about. It's not sitting in one corner
of the masjid and not going out and doing your dunya work it is yes. Now maybe give you an example.
Our alumni have it written. There are two types of the budget directly and indirectly budget but a
harass a keyboard or a joy ibaadat Banta Nia Casa also hidden hatch carnitas at one is a directly
about it, which is like our namaaz zeker, our tilawat etc. These are something that we know as
directly about it right now directly but it is everyone knows it. It is something that we can
understand it and that Allah tells us a female Salah, establish your Salah, there are so many
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:29
			rewards with regard to the budget that I don't need to tell you, but everyone knows about it, then
you have indirect about it. Now, what is indirectly about it understand this indirectly budget is
our mundane activities, what we will call worldly activities,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:17:16
			which can become a bar that was correct intention, correct method of doing it. But I harass about it
knee, those things are not directly about it. But they become about it with the correct intention
and the correct method of doing it. Right. Understand that like for example, we are going for a job,
we are going to open up our business. Now why are you going to open up your business? Where are you
going for a job, you can go for a job because I want money to keep up with the Joneses. I also want
the luxury things of life. Other people got the luxury things of life, I see that the disbelievers
living I also want to live in that particular way. And I want money to be able to enjoy myself you
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:59
			feel that money will give you pleasure, when it will give you pleasure not is a different matter.
I'm just saying that how people think that is one way. If you start doing your business and you do
your halaal risk because of that, there is no there is no reward. But sometimes you say no, I am
going to go and fulfill my worldly responsibilities. I am going to open up my business. I am going
for a job because I have to fulfill responsibility of looking after my children and to looking after
my myself and not making myself dependent upon other people. I'm doing it because the sooner that
nummy sauce limited, tolerable halali for either one bottle for either to acquire halaal risk is a
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:47
			religious obligation after namaz after Zakat after Ramadan, and it is a religious obligation. And
then when you do it, you do it correctly. You do it correctly. You do it according to the Sharia.
You make your businesses according to Islam, you make your you're going in a path of power you bring
in the path of risk sake English, according to Islam according to what the Quran is said according
to the Sharia, that becomes deal. So we see now these directly and indirectly by the directly but
our Salah zeker to our soccer so for example, and indirectly but not only I'm talking about the
seeking Hilary's sleeping one is your sleep because I have to sleep everyone has to sleep I'm number
		
00:18:47 --> 00:19:13
			one is to sleep, I will gain strength when I will sleep according to the Sharia according to the
Sunnah when I sleep I will take a last name when I get up I will be left Manila Isla de Nevada
Montana I will gain strength to be able to fulfill my commands to Allah tala to be able to fulfill
my responsibility towards my family. Now that sleeping becomes an hour on Am I right? Right this
remember this we gain
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			strength from our direct ibaadat.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:59
			And then that strength we gain from our directly but we bring it into play into our indirect
evidence that those mundane activities we make it into Dean we make it with a correct intention and
we make it according to the commands of Allah. So the strength we have gained in Ramadan through the
means of our director but now we use that spiritual strength to be able to make our dunya de that
spiritual energy we gain from Ramadan we utilize it to make our in direct our mundane activities
into the world.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:17
			Nita Johanna from Zambia hustle Chi Cusco Laker Abuja Machado or dunya codina now, that is the
reality. Let me give you two examples from the Quran. Allah Allah in the Holy Quran says for either
for fun sub
		
00:20:19 --> 00:21:09
			two examples I will give you one is that you I in Indonesia then you come to the no dichotomy
between Deen and dunya Allah Allah tells maybe sauce alum and by extension as when you have fulfill
your responsibilities, although nobody saw some responsibility we're we're Africa responsibility for
either for After you have completed your responsibility, die yourself exert yourself in Arabic
Africa by devoting yourself to Allah apne dunya becomes a foreign worker Allah tala kita for GA.
When you fulfill your responsibility now turn to Allah. When you have fulfilled you are now you have
done your Tanya. Yes. Now turn towards Allah and the word use paisa for after fun sub sub means tire
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:17
			yourself, exert yourself in remembering Allah. Now this is one side of the argument. Now look at the
other side.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:37
			I read this at the beginning fader qulaity Salatu fantasio there was one Sahabi I think his name was
a bad bit Moloch after Juma when he used to come out of the masjid after Juma he used to say these
words allow my indie adapt to that what was selected for erotica.

seek risk. So Allah I have fulfilled your freedom to come to perform tomorrow. After Tomorrow I am
going out now into the world the way you commanded me to ask for
		
00:22:49 --> 00:23:34
			Allah grant me this because you are the best who can grant this there is no other Islam. There is no
other ideology. There is no other religion that teaches us this harmony that teaches us the most
beautiful fusion between the spiritual and the multi. Let me say that again. So that we can get the
right balance along mainly can adapt to the Kabbalah we have responded to your call, if you told us
to come for tomorrow. Either no deal is salata, Miyamoto Mufasa Villa de la we have done so well
Selita farinata we have we have performed our Juma when I shot to come Amati after to my you told us

who grant as this. May Allah give us this beautiful balance and keep us both towards the deal. And
doing dounia according to the commands of Allah was the one and
