All right, Salaam alaykum everybody Welcome back to

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

exploring the Qur'an, Alhamdulillah This mic gets

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

more and more sensitive every week, Alhamdulillah Bismillah

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Rabbish rahli sadri wa

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

sirri amni wahlul uqra tamli sani yafkahu qawli

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

rabbi zidni inma rabbi zidni inma All right.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

So, Alhamdulillah, we've been talking about the story

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

of Yusuf alayhis salaam and we've been spending

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

time kind of the entire theme of this

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

halaqa series is finding faith in the midst

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

of trial and what we want to highlight

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

through the story of Yusuf alayhis salaam is

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

that trial does not look in one way.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

So sometimes people think that difficulties and hardships

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

They have to be exhibited in the same

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

way or someone has to take it in

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

the same way But what we're learning, especially

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

from the beginning of the surah, we see

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

that Yusuf alayhis salaam is in a situation

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

that objectively is difficult but we're also seeing

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

the difficulty in the trial and tribulation of

00:01:14 --> 00:01:18

that situation being transferred or having effect or

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

like a dotted line to his father Yaqub

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

alayhis salaam And so two people can be

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

existing within the same difficulty or be existing

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

in the same situation But that difficulty level

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

or that difficulty burden or whatever you want

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

to call it could be different for each

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

of those individuals Now we're at a place

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

in the story where Yusuf alayhis salaam Is

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

kind of like on his own and we

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

talked a little bit last week about loneliness

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

and feeling by yourself But recognizing that Allah

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

swt is with you through the journey, right?

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

He's not it's not just a light at

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

the end of the tunnel but Allah swt

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

provides a nur for us through that journey

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

and in recognition of that Allah swt gives

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

us the understanding of what he did to

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

give Yusuf alayhis salaam this protection and So

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

in verse number 22 Allah swt says وَلَمَّا

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ And when he met when he

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

was when he reached this level of maturity

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

أَتَيْنَاهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا We gave him this wisdom

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

and we gave him knowledge وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجَزٍ مُحْسِنِينَ

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

And thus this is how we reward those

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

who are righteous people who do good people

00:02:29 --> 00:02:29

who?

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

Try their best with the circumstance in the

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

cards that they've been dealt then the reward

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

of You trying your best is that God

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

gives you more understanding and he gives you

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

wisdom and how to apply that understanding then

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

Allah swt takes us to this next portion

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

of the story of Yusuf now remember Yusuf

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

alayhis salaam is in the home of the

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

Izzies, which is the minister and He the

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

Izzies told his wife.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

He gave his wife very clear instruction Okay,

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

he tells his wife that let's give him

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

a place that is very honorable as in

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

like We're gonna give him a position will

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

give him a job He'll be here to

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

do some things Like clean around the house

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

be there to pick up things if they

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

need to be picked up like he was

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

a servant He was servant in the home

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

But he tells his wife that we might

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

be able to adopt this kid like as

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

a child essentially So let's make sure that

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

we treat him in a way that is

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

honorable and that is good So this is

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

just the scene that Yusuf alayhis salaam is

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

in it's very interesting that Allah swt does

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

Interject right in there that we gave him

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

wisdom and we gave him knowledge Why because

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

the next events that follow in the life

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

of Yusuf It is so important for him

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

to not only have an understanding of what

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

Allah expects from him but to have the

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

wisdom and Applying that and then to be

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

very firm in faith to be able to

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

transgress one's own desire and one's own feelings

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

to be able to Properly act in the

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

way that Allah swt wants a person to

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

act.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

I know that all sounds very coded but

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

essentially we are gonna see a situation where

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

Yusuf alayhis salaam is His rights are being

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

violated and how does he react to that

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

situation is it is in and of itself

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

that act of his rights being violated trial

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

in a tribulation but Reacting and being able

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

to stop yourself or to be able to

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

say that this is not okay, too is

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

a difficult trial so what happens when you're

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

facing a Difficulty within a difficulty and this

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

is that next section that we're gonna see

00:04:41 --> 00:04:45

so Allah swt says wa ra wadathu allatihu

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

wa fee baytiha an-nafsi that the woman

00:04:49 --> 00:04:54

in Which he lived in her home tried

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

to seduce him and The interesting thing here

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

is that it almost translates to she tried

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

to take him away from himself in the

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

sense of taking someone away from what they

00:05:05 --> 00:05:08

would normally do or Trying to convince someone

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

other than what their own Intellect would have

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

told them.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

Yusuf alayhis salaam is a prophet.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

So for him, he knows that this is

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

something that is not Okay, so the way

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

that is presented is that she tried to

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

seduce him She tried to take him away

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

from what he knew and then she it

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

says well One luck I did a boaba

00:05:27 --> 00:05:31

and she went and she bolted the doors

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

Now there's one thing for someone to say

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

something that is inappropriate There's another thing for

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

someone to catcall right like to really be

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

if she was to really be talking to

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

him a lot and all These things that's

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

another thing But to set someone up to

00:05:48 --> 00:05:52

be in a situation that is compromising do

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

not give them an out from that situation

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

and Then call them to something that is

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

against what they would want to do is

00:06:01 --> 00:06:05

another level of darkness and wrong and so

00:06:05 --> 00:06:09

Allah says Well, call it hate a luck.

00:06:09 --> 00:06:13

She then looked at him and She said

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

to him come to me All in my

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

other law Yusuf alayhis salaam then responded and

00:06:18 --> 00:06:22

he said God forbid Now typically when we

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

want the protection of Allah, we will say

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

I would have been that Right.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

We'll say I would have been that I

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

seek refuge in the protection of Allah now

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

the law is like very short and So

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

what the Arabic language does for us is

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

that it gives us not only an understanding

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

of the situation but the emotion behind it

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

and so it being shortened mean that it

00:06:46 --> 00:06:50

means that this was a very intense situation

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

and it was almost like he really had

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

to think on his feet and The reason

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

why I said the beauty of a was

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

from that are saying well I'd say now

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03

hookman right in there and we gave him

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

this in my way hookman We gave him

00:07:05 --> 00:07:09

this knowledge and this wisdom is that Yusuf

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

alayhis salaam knows what to say Why because

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

the last one I gave him maturity.

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

He gave him knowledge.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

He gave him wisdom if he was still

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

a child Okay, this is how we know

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

that he wasn't a child anymore He had

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

reached the age of maturity if he was

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

still a child.

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

He may not have known what to do

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

Right, he would have been in a very

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

compromising situation With someone who is supposed to

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

be his caretaker Someone who is older than

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

him someone who has more knowledge to him

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

And he would have been in that situation

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

in a way that he wouldn't know how

00:07:41 --> 00:07:45

to react But because Allah says no, he's

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

at a point where he has his maturity.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

He has his wisdom He has his knowledge

00:07:50 --> 00:07:50

from Allah.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

He knew how to react.

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

And so he says my other one and

00:07:55 --> 00:08:00

then he says Innahoo rabbee ahsana mathwaya He

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

says that my master and he's referring to

00:08:02 --> 00:08:06

actually the Aziz Right the one who allowed

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

me to live in this house for a

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

soldier to give me an honorable place to

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

live He has been nothing but good to

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

me He's given me all types of goodness

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

in the hula yufliha dhalimoon and Those who

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

do wrong will never prosper And so Yusuf

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

alayhis salaam is literally telling her that this

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

is not gonna happen Now Allah swt tells

00:08:28 --> 00:08:33

us in surah Tafsirat innama yanzagannaka minash shaitaan

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

That whenever a shaitaan comes to you with

00:08:36 --> 00:08:41

some type of evil type of suggestion nazgun

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

Fastaidh billah Then your responsibility is to seek

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

refuge in the protection of Allah Innahoo huwa

00:08:49 --> 00:08:49

sameerun alim.

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

Why because Allah is all-hearing and he's

00:08:52 --> 00:08:57

all-aware Compromising Situations, there are so many

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

times where people will say I would never

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

be that person a lot of times now

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

that can never be especially when you're like

00:09:04 --> 00:09:07

a Teenager or like a young adult your

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

thought process is always I'm stronger than that.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

I will never do that I'm never gonna

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

talk to my kids in this way.

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

I'm never gonna do this I'm never know

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

why they say never say never Because you

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

always you may end up in that situation

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

and you may be tested And so Allah

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

swt doesn't tell us never end up in

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

this compromising situation Yes, when it comes to

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

things Allah swt says what it just an

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

evil stay far away why because sometimes the

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

path to something is a lot worse than

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

the actual act of it and Sometimes you

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

being in a certain environment being around certain

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

people Interacting with certain things.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

Those are the things that get gets a

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

person very used to it Right, so we're

00:09:54 --> 00:09:54

sitting here.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:56

We're listening to this and we're like, we

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

will never be Zuleikha We can never be

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

the life of the Aziz and Allah swt

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

Inshallah will protect every single one of us

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

from that but you have to ask yourself.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

What am I doing to protect myself?

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

Because if you're watching movies that has lewd

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

things in it if you're listening to things

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

that are lewd if you're Interacting and reading

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

books that are inappropriate Then how do you

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

know you're not changing your psyche to think

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

that these things are okay That's a very

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

important question that you have to ask yourself

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

and though you may think to yourself that

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

okay Like actually I'm okay, like it's fine

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

Like I know this is not real but

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

then you interact with it so much so

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

that it becomes normal Right.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

What are you doing to yourself?

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46

You're making you're making it more and more.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:51

Okay You're making it more and more Acceptable

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

and so here you have a situation where

00:10:53 --> 00:10:56

Yusuf alayhis salaam's rights are being violated And

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

the first thing that he does is he's

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

able to call to Allah.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

Why because that's what's on his mind For

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

him Allah swt is always on his mind.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

So he's able to recognize a situation.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

That is not great and then Allah swt

00:11:09 --> 00:11:15

says وَلَقَدَ حَمَّتْ بِهِ that she had So

00:11:15 --> 00:11:20

much like desire for him وَحَمَّ بِهَا And

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

he could have had desire for her لَوْ

00:11:23 --> 00:11:27

لَا أَنْ رَعَى بُرْحَانَ رَبِّهِ Had it not

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

been that he saw the light that his

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

Lord had provided for him And what is

00:11:32 --> 00:11:32

that light?

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

That light is guidance We don't get to

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

determine morality and what is right and wrong

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

by our own will and what that means

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

is that I can think something is right

00:11:42 --> 00:11:46

today and Tomorrow I changed my mind When

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

you look at pre-islamic Arabia, they were

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52

dead set convinced that burying their daughters alive

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

was okay they were dead set convinced that

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

somebody didn't come from a certain tribe and

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

They didn't come from notoriety Then it was

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

okay for them to take their wealth They

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

were convinced that the bloodshed between tribes were

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

not a big deal.

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

They were convinced that children can fight in

00:12:09 --> 00:12:13

war They were convinced that the entire environment

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

did not matter and they could burn down

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

Trees and all these different things in the

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

middle of battle They were convinced of these

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

things to the point where they're not persecuted

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

by the law.

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

You did it So are we saying?

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

That human beings have the ability to be

00:12:28 --> 00:12:29

objective throughout their entire life.

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

They don't we don't Why because of anything

00:12:33 --> 00:12:37

the slightest inconvenience in our emotion sets us

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

on fire We're ready to rage at any

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

moment.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

You may think that you have your entire

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

emotion together.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

I can be objective What about if your

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

child was facing that situation?

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

Ask yourself, would you be objective?

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55

The answer is no Someone will say well,

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

this is the law and you will say

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

we'll give them the worst of it and

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

then some This is why morality is not

00:13:01 --> 00:13:04

something that is dictated by us You're enough

00:13:04 --> 00:13:08

will convince you of a million different things

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

You're enough will tell you that this is

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

okay, and that's okay, and you will feel

00:13:12 --> 00:13:15

so convinced on it You're ready to do

00:13:15 --> 00:13:19

a whole presentation Whole thing tell someone else

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

like this is what we have to do

00:13:20 --> 00:13:23

I'm gonna rally behind this anybody that has

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

anything to say opposite of what you're saying

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

You're like actually you're a complete out like

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

you're literally a hater.

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

You're you're not on my side.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

That's how we are So what a less

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

one thought is telling us is That he

00:13:36 --> 00:13:41

provided this knowledge this wisdom this understanding this

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

guidance this light Iman is light is Buddha

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

hand why because it illuminates other things it

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

brings things into understanding for you It makes

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

things clear and parts where maybe your brain

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

and your emotion cannot tell you the right

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

Direction or decision that you should make your

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

Iman in your faith shows you that right

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

direction and that right decision that you should

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

make Even if it goes against what you

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

feel in the depths of you But guess

00:14:08 --> 00:14:11

what when you follow what your faith says

00:14:11 --> 00:14:14

you will never make the wrong decision You

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

will never be wrong.

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

You will always come out on top and

00:14:17 --> 00:14:20

so Allah swt says That he could have

00:14:20 --> 00:14:25

desired her But he had that knowledge and

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

he had that wisdom and he had that

00:14:27 --> 00:14:32

guidance and that guidance was a light in

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

evidence that was once that I provided him

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

and then the last one that I says

00:14:37 --> 00:14:39

to that Lika me not to be fine

00:14:39 --> 00:14:44

for surah well Fahsha and this light this

00:14:44 --> 00:14:47

evidence this clarity that God gave him Was

00:14:47 --> 00:14:51

in order to keep him away From so

00:14:51 --> 00:14:55

so it's like evil Right.

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

So it's evil.

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

It is not just like things are a

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

bad.

00:14:59 --> 00:15:04

No, it is maliceness It is and type

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

of evil that people try to convince other

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

people is good You know and somebody try

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

to convince you like oh I do this

00:15:10 --> 00:15:10

thing.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

It's not really that big of a deal

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

So don't worry about it.

00:15:12 --> 00:15:15

Yeah, that's wrong Why because you recognize it

00:15:15 --> 00:15:18

was wrong and you went through the effort

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

to try to convince somebody else that is

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23

not that's evil but then Allah says well

00:15:23 --> 00:15:30

Fahsha and Fahsha It is actually not evil

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

as much as it is indecency Right.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

It is just things that are not.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:34

Okay.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

It is a lewd act is things that

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

are inappropriate It is things that do not

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

sit well with your spirit and it may

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

not be something that's completely the worst thing

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

possible But you see it and you're like,

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

I don't know that doesn't feel good Let

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

me tell you something about Fahsha the more

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

you engage in it The more it becomes

00:15:52 --> 00:15:55

easy the more you're like, oh actually it's

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

not that big of a deal The first

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

time you may see something that you think

00:15:59 --> 00:16:03

is inappropriate It's like a an effect that

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

is like it takes over your whole body.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

You're like, oh my god, that's terrible Can't

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

believe I saw that the second time is

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

like I'm just not gonna look the third

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

time You're like, it's not me.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

Not my problem fourth time.

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

You don't even have a comment.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

You have nothing to say.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

You don't feel anything Right.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

So Fahsha is something that a person could

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

easily fall into they're not guarding and taking

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

care of their heart And then Allah SWT

00:16:30 --> 00:16:35

says Innahu min abadinal mukhlasin that indeed he

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

was truly one of our chosen servants In

00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

surat al-shams, Allah SWT talks about the

00:16:42 --> 00:16:45

nafs, okay And he says when nafsin wama

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

sawaha He swears by the the nafs the

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

part of you your soul or your soul

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

your lower half And what this means is

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

that there are three different types or levels

00:16:56 --> 00:16:56

to it.

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00

I think different types is better And they

00:17:00 --> 00:17:03

all exist within a person So there's your

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

nafs in a matter of assault your nafs

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

of the wama and nafs of mutma'innah.

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

A matter of assault cause you to bad

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

Know what you should go.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

I was gonna make a really bad Example

00:17:15 --> 00:17:16

and I'm not gonna do that.

00:17:16 --> 00:17:17

I'll tell you guys later.

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

You should go burn a tree down No

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

reason at all is just because you want

00:17:22 --> 00:17:22

to.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:24

Nafs in a matter of assault gets happy

00:17:24 --> 00:17:27

when you do things that are wrong nafs

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

of the wama Maybe you should burn the

00:17:30 --> 00:17:30

tree down.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

Maybe you shouldn't But if you burn it

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

down, you'll feel okay, but maybe you won't.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:35

Just do it.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:36

Let's see what happens.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

You do it Why'd you burn the tree

00:17:37 --> 00:17:38

down?

00:17:38 --> 00:17:39

That's nafs of the wama.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:43

Doesn't know what it wants dunya akhirah One

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

foot here one foot there Nafs of mutma

00:17:46 --> 00:17:46

'innah.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

It is the part of you that you

00:17:48 --> 00:17:52

continue to cultivate it It feels so happy

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

to worship Allah.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

It feels very good So Allah SWT tells

00:17:56 --> 00:17:59

us and he swears by the nafs Why

00:17:59 --> 00:18:02

because you're meant to render your nafs into

00:18:02 --> 00:18:05

submission that is your job your entire job

00:18:05 --> 00:18:08

your whole life is To render your nafs

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

into submission and there are parts of you

00:18:11 --> 00:18:14

that you think are not Connected to your

00:18:14 --> 00:18:17

faith, but 100% it is like eating

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

is a part of your faith If a

00:18:19 --> 00:18:22

person cannot control what they eat, they cannot

00:18:22 --> 00:18:25

control their nafs You can't if you cannot

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

control what you consume it is very you

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

will not control praying on time That's just

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

the reality of it.

00:18:32 --> 00:18:35

Right if a person cannot control what they

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

say That is a part of your nafs.

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

You can't control what you say.

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

You can't control your nafs.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:44

It's just a reality of it So there

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

are other parts in your life That you

00:18:46 --> 00:18:50

need to actually get under control and into

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

submission even though I can't have this cookie

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

right now I'm not gonna have it because

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

not everything you can have means you should

00:18:58 --> 00:19:00

have it and that's what your nafs needs

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

to understand and Thus it then gets more

00:19:04 --> 00:19:08

and more happy and content with Worshiping Allah

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

why because the part of worshiping Allah is

00:19:10 --> 00:19:15

what submission and so it recognizes Something that's

00:19:15 --> 00:19:18

very familiar to it But when you just

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

say okay rituals on this side and the

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

rest of my life is on this side

00:19:22 --> 00:19:26

you divorce religion which is Dean and your

00:19:26 --> 00:19:29

way of life from your actual way of

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

being able to submit to Allah and You

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

can't do that.

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

Why because as believers we're meant to be

00:19:34 --> 00:19:35

holistic beings.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

We're meant to be holistic people This is

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

why there's a dual before you eat.

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

There's a dual before you sleep This is

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

why their practices that the Prophet encourages us

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

to when we are eating.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:49

It is every part of your existence So

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

Allah SWT swears by a nafs He says

00:19:52 --> 00:19:55

when nafsin wa ma'asawwaha and by the

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

soul and how Allah SWT Proportioned it so

00:19:58 --> 00:19:58

perfectly.

00:19:59 --> 00:20:03

Wa alhamaha fujuraha wa taqwaha and he inspired

00:20:03 --> 00:20:07

it It and it is inspired by means

00:20:07 --> 00:20:10

of wickedness or by means of righteousness So

00:20:10 --> 00:20:13

it can go either way there's two spectrums

00:20:13 --> 00:20:16

there's amara basul the other spectrum is what's

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

mine now What is in the middle lawama?

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

Okay, so she's being pulled back and forth.

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

She was just as she could the woman's

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

class.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:25

Okay, and Then Allah SWT says or the

00:20:25 --> 00:20:29

up LeHaman's a kaha So what gets who

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

gets to be on top who gets to

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

win who gets to be the most successful?

00:20:33 --> 00:20:37

The one who purifies it You're not able

00:20:38 --> 00:20:41

To really render your nafs into submission unless

00:20:41 --> 00:20:42

you purify it.

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

There are two parts of Tazkirah there is

00:20:45 --> 00:20:48

removing that which is bad and then the

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

second part of it is Adding that which

00:20:51 --> 00:20:54

is good and that's the beautification aspect so

00:20:54 --> 00:20:58

someone may say that Tazkirah is my Sunnah

00:20:58 --> 00:21:02

prayer Tazkirah is my fasting Tazkirah is my

00:21:02 --> 00:21:06

charity and that's true, but that's only half

00:21:06 --> 00:21:09

It's only half and if you drove a

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

car that has four wheels well only two

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

of them are you going anywhere The answer

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

is no, you're not gonna get there there's

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

another part of that car that you need

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

to fix and that is that there are

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

things in there that need to be purified

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

if You had a half cup of water

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

that was dirty and you put clean water

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

inside of it Are you still gonna drink

00:21:29 --> 00:21:29

it?

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

No, why because if you're drinking you're nasty

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

Just want you to know that okay, because

00:21:34 --> 00:21:37

the water is still dirty You have to

00:21:37 --> 00:21:40

pour out and clean out what's in there

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

first and you can add Clean water into

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

it now the beauty and the compassion of

00:21:46 --> 00:21:48

Allah that he allows us to do both

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

at the same time That you can gain

00:21:51 --> 00:21:55

a lot out of slowly removing things that

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

need to be removed But also adding that

00:21:57 --> 00:22:03

beautiful aspect to it So Allah says That

00:22:03 --> 00:22:06

whoever Purifies it then that person has truly

00:22:06 --> 00:22:09

succeeded Look at the haba man the saha

00:22:09 --> 00:22:12

but the one who allows and instills in

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

it corruption Then for that person they've truly

00:22:15 --> 00:22:18

lost out on what life is about They've

00:22:18 --> 00:22:20

truly failed and what they were supposed to

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

do So Allah gives us this understanding that

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

Yusuf Alayhissalam is faced with the impossible situation

00:22:27 --> 00:22:31

And he's faced in a way that perhaps

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

maybe someone else would have fell into this

00:22:33 --> 00:22:37

trap But because he has that does give

00:22:37 --> 00:22:40

to enough Okay Because he has worked on

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

himself because it was from that I gave

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

him that guidance and gave him that knowledge

00:22:44 --> 00:22:48

and he was able to use his Faith

00:22:48 --> 00:22:49

not just as something that is in the

00:22:49 --> 00:22:52

corner, but a way of life then he

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

did not fall into this trap So then

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

Allah SWT gives us the second part of

00:22:57 --> 00:23:00

the rest of the story Now remember the

00:23:00 --> 00:23:02

Quran is not a storybook and since it's

00:23:02 --> 00:23:04

not a storybook and we have this place

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

Well, that's what I was providing us with

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

so much detail then perhaps there's something that

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

was fun I wants us to pay attention

00:23:09 --> 00:23:13

to so he says what's what's double for

00:23:13 --> 00:23:17

the bath that they both rest raced towards

00:23:17 --> 00:23:25

the door And then she tore their shirt

00:23:25 --> 00:23:32

from behind And at the door they both

00:23:32 --> 00:23:35

met her husband So they're racing to the

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

door She tries to pull him back The

00:23:37 --> 00:23:41

shirt rips from behind and they meet her

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

husband at the door.

00:23:42 --> 00:23:45

She then starts to speak very quickly And

00:23:45 --> 00:23:52

she says Well, what is the punishment or

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

the the payment that someone should get if

00:23:55 --> 00:24:02

they want evil for your family She says

00:24:02 --> 00:24:05

I think there's only two options that person

00:24:05 --> 00:24:06

either should go to jail or they should

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

be punished in a very painful way and

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

Essentially what she's trying to do in this

00:24:11 --> 00:24:15

situation is she's trying to frame Yusuf And

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

she's trying to make it seem like he's

00:24:17 --> 00:24:20

the one who tried to seduce her Fala

00:24:21 --> 00:24:27

Then Yusuf responded and he said She's the

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29

one who tried to seduce me she tried

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

to take me away from myself and Then

00:24:31 --> 00:24:34

he says what Shahid limits a little fella

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

says what Shahid a Shahid I mean, I

00:24:36 --> 00:24:40

have that a member from her household then

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

suggested a solution Okay, and he says in

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

Canada commission who put them in covered in

00:24:46 --> 00:24:49

if it's the case that his shirt Has

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

been torn from the front plus other cuts.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

Well, who are men and Kathy mean then

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

she is told the truth And he's amongst

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

the liars Well in Canada commission who but

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01

if it's the case that his shirt put

00:25:01 --> 00:25:03

them in doberman It is torn from the

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

back for Canada, but well who I'm in

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

a Saudi mean then she's telling a lie

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

And he's from amongst those who are truthful

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

So let my rock and me so who

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

put them in doberman and when they found

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

out and they saw that his shirt was

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

ripped from the behind Fala in the homing

00:25:20 --> 00:25:21

mean Katie Kunna.

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

They said that indeed.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:28

This is from a Plan of of this

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

person of a woman like you made this

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

plan and you were thinking quick on your

00:25:32 --> 00:25:36

feet Now what's interesting here is that people?

00:25:36 --> 00:25:39

They will all they will ask well, why

00:25:39 --> 00:25:40

is it from a plan of a woman?

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

Okay, what are you trying to say about

00:25:43 --> 00:25:43

woman?

00:25:43 --> 00:25:47

I think it's important that as we approach

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

the Quran we put our baggage to the

00:25:49 --> 00:25:53

side it is so Important, you know why?

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

Because sometimes you miss out on things that

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

are very important for you to learn about

00:25:58 --> 00:26:02

because you're so focused on thinking that God

00:26:02 --> 00:26:03

is trying to attack you when he's not

00:26:03 --> 00:26:09

and Sometimes we allow so many outside noises

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

to determine how our relationship with Allah should

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

be and unless one thought I was showing

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

you how your Relationship with him should be

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

and he's literally Opening the door to you.

00:26:19 --> 00:26:23

He's literally offering you so much Now don't

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

get me wrong During the time the prophecy

00:26:25 --> 00:26:27

sent him one of the lives of the

00:26:27 --> 00:26:27

process.

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

I'm actually came to him And you said

00:26:29 --> 00:26:33

she said listen every time we recite or

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

we listen to the Quran Use recite verses

00:26:35 --> 00:26:38

is always like Oh him him him him

00:26:38 --> 00:26:42

now remember the Arabic language the masculine is

00:26:42 --> 00:26:46

inclusive of both male and female and The

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

feminine is not inclusive which is why the

00:26:48 --> 00:26:49

feminine is normally not used.

00:26:49 --> 00:26:53

She knows this Okay, she knows this but

00:26:53 --> 00:26:56

we're woman, you know, we do we like

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58

to ask a lot of questions So she

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

said when we gonna get something for ourselves

00:27:00 --> 00:27:02

And what does the last one that I

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

says say and was the moon?

00:27:04 --> 00:27:05

I want to see Matt and what we

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

know now when what we not Right to

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

the believe it to the submissive woman and

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

to submissive men to the believe in woman

00:27:11 --> 00:27:13

to the believe in men So that's what

00:27:13 --> 00:27:17

I does entertain and answer those questions But

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

let's not that I showed us that so

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

that we can put our baggage to the

00:27:22 --> 00:27:24

side When we are seeing verses like this

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

and what was one that is showing us

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

He's not saying that men have never done

00:27:29 --> 00:27:32

anything like this He's saying that you have

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

so much intellect and this is what you

00:27:34 --> 00:27:37

came up with These are the plans that

00:27:37 --> 00:27:40

you do Right, like women don't think about

00:27:40 --> 00:27:44

one thing They don't you tell if I

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

tell I bring this example all the time.

00:27:46 --> 00:27:47

My brother is to wash the dishes What

00:27:47 --> 00:27:48

are they gonna do?

00:27:49 --> 00:27:52

Barely wash the dishes if I tell my

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

sister to wash the dishes she'll wash the

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

dishes wipe the counter sweep the floor mop

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

the floor, you know, and then put on

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

some type of incense to make The house

00:27:59 --> 00:28:02

smell good and when we ask somebody to

00:28:02 --> 00:28:03

wash the dishes, what are we expecting?

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

Wash the dishes wipe the counter sweep the

00:28:06 --> 00:28:08

floor mop the floor put up some incense

00:28:08 --> 00:28:11

So there's so many things that we are

00:28:11 --> 00:28:15

thinking of and we're always planning ahead So

00:28:15 --> 00:28:19

when she has this ability to reply so

00:28:19 --> 00:28:22

quickly Literally, they meet him at the door

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

and she's like, what do you say about

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

somebody who's trying to do wrong to your

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

family?

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

Then what does that mean it means that

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

she had it a part of her plan

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

It was something that she was already thinking

00:28:34 --> 00:28:34

of.

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

She already had a backup plan to the

00:28:37 --> 00:28:40

backup plan And so here Alyssa Manthala is

00:28:40 --> 00:28:44

showing us this amount of detail for us

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

to pay attention And I love that this

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

class is like a woman-only class in

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

the Internet Okay I have to always remember

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

that part because it's important for us to

00:28:52 --> 00:28:55

have very real conversations and when Alyssa Manthala

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

has Blessed us, right?

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

We're not a men-hating club either God,

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

okay But we're a woman only talking to

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

one another when Alyssa Manthala has blessed us

00:29:07 --> 00:29:10

with so much We have to also remember

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

to use it in the right way You

00:29:12 --> 00:29:15

know, we have the ability to multitask.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

We have the ability to think ahead of

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

the plan We think of backup plans to

00:29:19 --> 00:29:22

backup plans, okay When I see my brother

00:29:22 --> 00:29:23

leaves the house with his kids, I feel

00:29:23 --> 00:29:27

like it's really sad actually There's always something

00:29:27 --> 00:29:29

forgotten, you know, like I'm like, did you

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

not think about?

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

Like what if they got hungry?

00:29:33 --> 00:29:34

It's like I don't even think about it.

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

I have a friend she's like when I

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

get on the plane I pack snacks for

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

my husband to like all my kids and

00:29:40 --> 00:29:43

the husband and I'm like That's actually hilarious

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

because she's like because I know he's gonna

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

forget that it's actually two hours instead of

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

three hours and he's gonna get hangry and

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

then Everybody's not gonna be happy and I'm

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

like you have so much thought in your

00:29:51 --> 00:29:54

mind So the what I'm really trying to

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

bring to light is that the things that

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

sometimes we don't like we're like Oh, it's

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

woman.

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

We have this and we have to do

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

all this and we have to do that

00:30:01 --> 00:30:04

Maybe it's time for us to start thinking

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

of it as a blessing That less one

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

that I has given us so much ability

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

and so much Capability and he's showing us

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

that listen You could actually do something that

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

is great with that or you can do

00:30:16 --> 00:30:17

something that is not so great with that

00:30:17 --> 00:30:20

And then he says in the cave I

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

couldn't I be one that indeed you guys

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

this plan that you're able to come up

00:30:24 --> 00:30:28

with is like actually really bad Like you're

00:30:28 --> 00:30:31

like so good at being able to manipulate

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

a situation that's kind of crazy This is

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

what I was showing us that you didn't

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

just cover it up a little bit you

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

were really gonna put him in jail or

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

Cause him to become like have a punishment

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

and it was like here.

00:30:45 --> 00:30:48

Let me provide solutions to you It wasn't

00:30:48 --> 00:30:49

even let's investigate.

00:30:49 --> 00:30:51

What do you say about a person who

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

wants to come and harm your family a

00:30:53 --> 00:30:56

True man cares about the protection of his

00:30:56 --> 00:30:58

family So she didn't say what do you

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

say about a person who tries to seduce

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

your wife?

00:31:00 --> 00:31:01

She didn't say that.

00:31:02 --> 00:31:03

She said what are you trying to say

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

about a person who wants to cause harm

00:31:05 --> 00:31:09

and Destruction to your family as a minister

00:31:09 --> 00:31:12

as someone who's in a position of power

00:31:12 --> 00:31:15

as someone who's always Protecting and worried about

00:31:15 --> 00:31:16

protecting his family.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

Where do you think his mind went?

00:31:18 --> 00:31:21

All that person's finished and she says well

00:31:21 --> 00:31:24

there's two options jail or punishment Doesn't even

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

give him time to think and it doesn't

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

say that he was the one who said

00:31:28 --> 00:31:31

let's provide a solution No, someone from the

00:31:31 --> 00:31:34

household was like, wait a second Wait a

00:31:34 --> 00:31:34

minute.

00:31:35 --> 00:31:38

Let's just figure it out first If the

00:31:38 --> 00:31:40

shirt is ripped from this way, then this

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

is the truth if it's ripped from that

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

way Then this is the truth why because

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

we cannot put someone in the situation Or

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

punish them for something that they did not

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

commit and then the last one fella says

00:31:53 --> 00:31:57

Yusufu I read on hada Yusuf alaih salam.

00:31:57 --> 00:32:00

He actually just overlooked this whole thing Let

00:32:00 --> 00:32:02

me tell you why because after this was

00:32:02 --> 00:32:03

done.

00:32:03 --> 00:32:05

It was the solution was we're not gonna

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

talk about it We're not gonna talk about

00:32:07 --> 00:32:07

it.

00:32:07 --> 00:32:08

We're just gonna leave it as such.

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

We're gonna ignore it like it never happened

00:32:11 --> 00:32:16

and then awesome fella says That it says

00:32:16 --> 00:32:20

he said to The minister said to Yusuf

00:32:20 --> 00:32:24

Yusuf alaih salam and hada Just it never

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

happened or look it and then he said

00:32:26 --> 00:32:28

to his wife was stuck for the event

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

And you should seek forgiveness for your sins

00:32:31 --> 00:32:35

So then it became nothing else and he

00:32:35 --> 00:32:39

says in Naki Kunti menal hot team then

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

D that you're amongst those who have done

00:32:41 --> 00:32:42

wrong.

00:32:42 --> 00:32:48

You've committed mistakes so The nature of a

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

community is that people start to do what?

00:32:51 --> 00:32:54

whisper So there's a lot of whisperings happen

00:32:54 --> 00:32:57

What call and this would turn from Medina

00:32:57 --> 00:33:00

T then a lot of the woman gathered

00:33:00 --> 00:33:01

together some of the woman of the city

00:33:01 --> 00:33:04

They gathered together and they started to talk

00:33:04 --> 00:33:07

and they said Imran to rise easy to

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

what to raw we do Fatah and nasty

00:33:10 --> 00:33:14

he that the wife of the Aziz then

00:33:14 --> 00:33:18

tried to seduce her Servant and fatah means

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

like a system So she tried to introduce

00:33:21 --> 00:33:24

the one who lived in her home away

00:33:24 --> 00:33:25

from himself or tried to take him away

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

from himself called a shower for her open

00:33:28 --> 00:33:32

and They then said that the love that

00:33:32 --> 00:33:35

she had for him consumed her just took

00:33:35 --> 00:33:39

over her In The land and will be

00:33:39 --> 00:33:41

and then they said it's clear that she

00:33:41 --> 00:33:45

has gone astray like she's wrong Now this

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

is actually where we're gonna stop and I

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

know this is a cliffhanger because the next

00:33:49 --> 00:33:50

part of the story is like really, you

00:33:50 --> 00:33:52

know interesting, but I want to stop here

00:33:52 --> 00:33:55

because There are two aspects of this.

00:33:55 --> 00:33:59

The first thing is the fighting temptation part

00:33:59 --> 00:34:02

That in order for a person to really

00:34:02 --> 00:34:04

be able to fight against things that you're

00:34:04 --> 00:34:07

enough naturally called calls you to you have

00:34:07 --> 00:34:11

to be very strong in your faith and

00:34:11 --> 00:34:14

what that means is actually sometimes test is

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

Able to strengthen your faith a little bit

00:34:16 --> 00:34:17

more, right?

00:34:18 --> 00:34:19

Sometimes you actually don't know what you're capable

00:34:19 --> 00:34:22

of and you actually don't know what you're

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

capable of saying no to until something Interesting

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

happens and you're like, wow, I made it

00:34:27 --> 00:34:31

through and sometimes you don't and you make

00:34:31 --> 00:34:34

a mistake and you Learn from there.

00:34:34 --> 00:34:35

I need to have my faith to be

00:34:35 --> 00:34:37

stronger So the first thing that we learned

00:34:37 --> 00:34:40

from the story this portion of the story

00:34:40 --> 00:34:42

is that Yusuf alayhis salaam?

00:34:42 --> 00:34:46

Allah swt himself says that Yusuf alayhis salaam

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

would have been tempted towards this thing.

00:34:48 --> 00:34:51

Had he not had light When we read

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

that we're thinking to ourselves.

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

Well, obviously it's Yusuf He's a prophet.

00:34:56 --> 00:34:57

God has given him knowledge given wisdom.

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

He's given him all these things But Allah

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

swt has given each and every single one

00:35:02 --> 00:35:02

of us in this room.

00:35:03 --> 00:35:06

Iman He's given us all faith and Iman

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

noor, faith is light.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:12

And so Allah swt too has given you

00:35:12 --> 00:35:15

as well this light and It's time to

00:35:15 --> 00:35:18

use your faith as a means of being

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

able to decipher the things in your life

00:35:20 --> 00:35:23

that are right and wrong When you're going

00:35:23 --> 00:35:26

to watch something you need to ask this

00:35:26 --> 00:35:29

is this in agreement with my faith, right?

00:35:29 --> 00:35:30

I was teaching a minute class.

00:35:30 --> 00:35:32

It's so interesting every Tuesday.

00:35:32 --> 00:35:34

It's like the most random thing in the

00:35:34 --> 00:35:37

world Okay, it's like these like 16 girls.

00:35:37 --> 00:35:38

I keep thinking they live in Dallas and

00:35:38 --> 00:35:40

they live in like Canada okay, it's like

00:35:40 --> 00:35:43

the most random thing and We were learning

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

about actually in the Tuskegee class who we

00:35:45 --> 00:35:47

did this and we're learning about like what

00:35:47 --> 00:35:49

you watch whatever so one little girl she

00:35:49 --> 00:35:54

goes Yeah, like if my if anybody I

00:35:54 --> 00:35:57

will ask myself if anybody knew what I

00:35:57 --> 00:35:58

was watching if I'll be okay with it

00:35:58 --> 00:36:01

I said, that's a very good question It's

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

a very good question to ask yourself.

00:36:03 --> 00:36:07

Now if you're not, okay With a human

00:36:07 --> 00:36:09

being knowing what you watch then why are

00:36:09 --> 00:36:10

you okay with Allah knowing that you watch

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

that?

00:36:11 --> 00:36:14

that's the question why because Allah swt matters

00:36:14 --> 00:36:17

so much more than anyone on this earth

00:36:17 --> 00:36:21

and Anything Allah swt is where you have

00:36:21 --> 00:36:24

to put your priority So if you want

00:36:24 --> 00:36:27

to be a person We want to be

00:36:27 --> 00:36:30

people who can fight against temptation Difficulty and

00:36:30 --> 00:36:33

hardship when it comes to us Then it's

00:36:33 --> 00:36:36

really important for us to be people who

00:36:36 --> 00:36:38

protect what we consume and we protect what

00:36:38 --> 00:36:41

we watch the second thing that I think

00:36:41 --> 00:36:44

is very important and The reason why I

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

kind of want to stop here is because

00:36:46 --> 00:36:48

not the sessions not ending but stopping here

00:36:48 --> 00:36:51

in this portion of the suit it's because

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

We see how it ends off.

00:36:54 --> 00:36:57

We see this portion of the surah the

00:36:57 --> 00:37:01

story ending right here where they say That

00:37:01 --> 00:37:03

you know, she was completely in the wrong

00:37:03 --> 00:37:04

and where do we start?

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

We started off with what?

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

Oh, I will never be that person.

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

I will never do this.

00:37:10 --> 00:37:11

I will never do that Do you think

00:37:11 --> 00:37:14

Zuleikha when this boy this young boy came

00:37:14 --> 00:37:15

to her home?

00:37:15 --> 00:37:19

She automatically assumed that this is the situation

00:37:19 --> 00:37:20

that occurred to her.

00:37:20 --> 00:37:24

No Maybe she's too was like, yeah Yeah,

00:37:25 --> 00:37:25

of course.

00:37:25 --> 00:37:26

You can't be a servant.

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

But what but then Yusuf alayhis salam grew

00:37:28 --> 00:37:31

up in her home and The prophecy some

00:37:31 --> 00:37:34

tells us that Yusuf alayhis salam had half

00:37:34 --> 00:37:38

of the beauty of the entire world Not

00:37:38 --> 00:37:41

like half of the beauty of like I

00:37:41 --> 00:37:42

hear northern Michigan is nice and so says

00:37:42 --> 00:37:46

notice here I will shout out, Michigan Even

00:37:46 --> 00:37:48

though Switzerland is probably much prettier.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:51

So not half of the beauty of Switzerland.

00:37:51 --> 00:37:53

Okay, see you thought I was gonna be

00:37:53 --> 00:37:56

nice to Michigan Nope All right, psych.

00:37:56 --> 00:37:59

Okay, so not half of the beauty of

00:38:00 --> 00:38:02

Switzerland not half of the beauty of the

00:38:02 --> 00:38:05

most Beautiful person you've ever seen half of

00:38:05 --> 00:38:08

the beauty of the world Just because someone

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

has something does not give you the right

00:38:10 --> 00:38:13

to violate some someone's right And this is

00:38:13 --> 00:38:15

what less one that is teaching us Just

00:38:15 --> 00:38:18

because someone has a nice car doesn't mean

00:38:18 --> 00:38:19

that you can wish bad upon them Just

00:38:19 --> 00:38:22

because someone has a nice home doesn't mean

00:38:22 --> 00:38:24

you wish bad upon them doesn't mean that

00:38:24 --> 00:38:26

it just means that guess what was from

00:38:26 --> 00:38:27

that I blessed that person with that thing

00:38:27 --> 00:38:30

and Now you have a responsibility of doing

00:38:30 --> 00:38:31

right by it.

00:38:32 --> 00:38:36

Now these women They're outside Throwing stones at

00:38:36 --> 00:38:39

someone else and when they're faced with that

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

entire situation who knows if they're gonna be

00:38:41 --> 00:38:44

able to actually uphold this high and mighty

00:38:44 --> 00:38:47

morality that they're speaking about and So let's

00:38:47 --> 00:38:50

one that is showing us and he's going

00:38:50 --> 00:38:52

into detail about these things because it's important

00:38:52 --> 00:38:56

for us to know That we have to

00:38:56 --> 00:38:58

be people who are very strong in our

00:38:58 --> 00:39:00

faith and we have to maintain that strength

00:39:01 --> 00:39:03

When the prophecy said I'm in the life

00:39:03 --> 00:39:05

of the process and we see this time

00:39:05 --> 00:39:08

and time again That there are people and

00:39:08 --> 00:39:10

this may even seem like a very different

00:39:10 --> 00:39:13

situation, but temptation is temptation there are people

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

Who spent years?

00:39:16 --> 00:39:19

Torturing the Muslims not just one time not

00:39:19 --> 00:39:22

twice and even that would be bad but

00:39:22 --> 00:39:26

over ten years torturing the Muslims and When

00:39:26 --> 00:39:28

the prophecy said I'm before the Battle of

00:39:28 --> 00:39:32

Badr after the Muslims migrated to Medina the

00:39:32 --> 00:39:34

prophecy sound sent a group of companions to

00:39:34 --> 00:39:37

the trade route between five and in Mecca,

00:39:38 --> 00:39:41

excuse me, and he told them that Don't

00:39:41 --> 00:39:43

do anything when you go there.

00:39:43 --> 00:39:44

Don't do anything.

00:39:45 --> 00:39:46

Just watch just look at them.

00:39:47 --> 00:39:49

See what they're doing It's like a spy

00:39:49 --> 00:39:51

essentially and if you think your government's not

00:39:51 --> 00:39:55

spying on you Great okay, I love that

00:39:55 --> 00:39:56

you're delusional.

00:39:56 --> 00:39:59

Okay, so he says don't do anything they

00:39:59 --> 00:40:03

go One of the companions they see the

00:40:03 --> 00:40:05

someone that had been torturing them for many

00:40:05 --> 00:40:09

years and they get Overwhelmed with their emotion

00:40:09 --> 00:40:12

and they killed them They killed them and

00:40:12 --> 00:40:14

there were some other people that were there

00:40:14 --> 00:40:16

and so two of them were made hostage

00:40:16 --> 00:40:19

They were taken to Medina and the process

00:40:19 --> 00:40:20

they go to Medina and process.

00:40:21 --> 00:40:22

I'm said, why'd you do it?

00:40:22 --> 00:40:23

So I told you not to do it

00:40:23 --> 00:40:26

and they said well We got overwhelmed with

00:40:26 --> 00:40:28

our emotion like these people used to torture

00:40:28 --> 00:40:30

as they treat us in this way At

00:40:30 --> 00:40:32

that moment the process of them to was

00:40:32 --> 00:40:35

tortured The process of them to was not

00:40:35 --> 00:40:37

treated Well, the process of them to was

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

treated badly not only by himself, but in

00:40:40 --> 00:40:41

front of his children in front of his

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

family So now I'm all the process.

00:40:44 --> 00:40:45

I'm gonna said what was done is done

00:40:45 --> 00:40:48

Yeah, we'll keep these people as hostages.

00:40:48 --> 00:40:48

We'll keep it pushing.

00:40:49 --> 00:40:50

Did he do that?

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

No, he did it He went to their

00:40:52 --> 00:40:53

families first.

00:40:54 --> 00:40:56

He the people that were brought as hostages

00:40:56 --> 00:40:58

He said these are not hostages take them

00:40:58 --> 00:40:58

out.

00:40:58 --> 00:41:01

Like they're not here as prisoners.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:03

Let them go like they're fine They didn't

00:41:03 --> 00:41:05

let them go to Makkah because they don't

00:41:05 --> 00:41:08

want them to claim that they escaped so

00:41:08 --> 00:41:09

they said your people have to come and

00:41:09 --> 00:41:11

get you no ransom why because we're not

00:41:11 --> 00:41:14

in war and Then he paid the blood

00:41:14 --> 00:41:17

money for the people for the person who

00:41:17 --> 00:41:21

was killed To show what listen like this

00:41:21 --> 00:41:21

was not our intention.

00:41:22 --> 00:41:24

This is not what we have Now you

00:41:24 --> 00:41:29

fast-forward to many years later Where the

00:41:29 --> 00:41:30

battle of all hood while a year later

00:41:30 --> 00:41:31

or a year and a half later the

00:41:31 --> 00:41:34

battle of all had occurs In the battle

00:41:34 --> 00:41:36

of all hood you have so many people

00:41:36 --> 00:41:38

that the problem loves so much that passed

00:41:38 --> 00:41:40

away Yeah, most have been made has passed

00:41:40 --> 00:41:43

away Hamza ready lost a man who passed

00:41:43 --> 00:41:46

away the pastor some got hurt Abu Sufyan

00:41:46 --> 00:41:50

comes and he proclaims to the top of

00:41:50 --> 00:41:52

his lungs and He says that today you

00:41:52 --> 00:41:54

will find that you're great the people that

00:41:54 --> 00:41:57

you consider to be Giants They have now

00:41:57 --> 00:42:00

fallen to war and he says that you

00:42:00 --> 00:42:02

will find That some of them their bodies

00:42:02 --> 00:42:04

have been some of them their bodies have

00:42:04 --> 00:42:07

not been mutilated and some of them their

00:42:07 --> 00:42:09

bodies have been Mutilated and he says I

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

didn't command anybody to do it, but I

00:42:11 --> 00:42:12

didn't stop them.

00:42:12 --> 00:42:15

Anyway Now the thing is Hamza ready lost

00:42:15 --> 00:42:17

on on who has such a close loving

00:42:17 --> 00:42:20

relationship with the prophecy Salam It wasn't just

00:42:20 --> 00:42:21

that he was martyred.

00:42:22 --> 00:42:24

His body was mutilated That his organs were

00:42:24 --> 00:42:27

harvest out of him And so when the

00:42:27 --> 00:42:30

process I'm going in the battlefield Can you

00:42:30 --> 00:42:32

imagine their heart that he's feeling as he's

00:42:32 --> 00:42:35

seeing all of these people that he loves

00:42:35 --> 00:42:37

and cares for so much And can you

00:42:37 --> 00:42:40

imagine how hurt he would fit he had

00:42:40 --> 00:42:42

felt when he walks past the body of

00:42:42 --> 00:42:45

Hamza ready lost on who and not only

00:42:45 --> 00:42:47

sees that he's Passed away.

00:42:47 --> 00:42:50

He's martyred but also that his body is

00:42:50 --> 00:42:53

mutilated Right for us.

00:42:53 --> 00:42:54

We'll sit in that moment.

00:42:54 --> 00:42:58

We'll say what I will never Forgive the

00:42:58 --> 00:43:01

person who's done this So you fast forward

00:43:01 --> 00:43:04

years later Right before the conquest of Mecca

00:43:04 --> 00:43:07

Abu Sufyan comes to the prophecy Salam First

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

he actually goes on like a little tour.

00:43:09 --> 00:43:11

He's going to every single person.

00:43:11 --> 00:43:12

He's like, can you talk to the Prophet?

00:43:12 --> 00:43:13

I know you guys they're coming.

00:43:14 --> 00:43:14

I know they're coming.

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

Tell them it's okay They're like no, you

00:43:16 --> 00:43:17

don't have to talk to me.

00:43:17 --> 00:43:18

You need to talk to the prophet and

00:43:18 --> 00:43:21

when he goes to talk to the prophecy

00:43:21 --> 00:43:26

Salam and Then he becomes Muslim in That

00:43:26 --> 00:43:26

moment.

00:43:26 --> 00:43:30

Do you think that you sitting in this

00:43:30 --> 00:43:30

situation?

00:43:31 --> 00:43:33

Knowing that you have someone so close to

00:43:33 --> 00:43:35

you That's like your brother your sister that

00:43:35 --> 00:43:37

you love so much and you're sitting in

00:43:37 --> 00:43:39

front of the person who watched them die

00:43:39 --> 00:43:41

and allowed Them to die and then also

00:43:41 --> 00:43:43

sat there and said, you know what?

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

Yeah, you want to take their organs take

00:43:44 --> 00:43:47

their organs and they came and they said

00:43:47 --> 00:43:48

hey I want to be your brother and

00:43:48 --> 00:43:51

sister in faith What is your thought process?

00:43:52 --> 00:43:56

That part of you you're enough Right because

00:43:56 --> 00:43:59

Temptation is not only about lust it's about

00:43:59 --> 00:44:02

you're enough Telling you to do something that

00:44:02 --> 00:44:04

Allah is telling you to do the opposite

00:44:04 --> 00:44:05

of a lot of times I was telling

00:44:05 --> 00:44:08

you what forgiveness is a thing I was

00:44:08 --> 00:44:09

when I was telling you what when someone

00:44:09 --> 00:44:11

enters into the fold of Islam that the

00:44:11 --> 00:44:13

wrongs that they have done It's fine.

00:44:13 --> 00:44:15

That is what what's what I was telling

00:44:15 --> 00:44:16

you I was when I was telling the

00:44:16 --> 00:44:18

prophecy Salam you have a job You have

00:44:18 --> 00:44:21

a responsibility and that job and that responsibility

00:44:21 --> 00:44:24

is far beyond you It's far beyond you

00:44:25 --> 00:44:26

So what does the process I'm saying while

00:44:26 --> 00:44:28

the Sufyan becomes Muslim?

00:44:28 --> 00:44:30

He says not only are you safe?

00:44:31 --> 00:44:33

But anybody else who comes into your home

00:44:33 --> 00:44:36

is safe And I'm so feeling like well,

00:44:36 --> 00:44:37

there's a lot of people kind of our

00:44:37 --> 00:44:39

systems Okay, everybody who goes into this home

00:44:39 --> 00:44:41

and this home and this home is safe.

00:44:41 --> 00:44:43

He's like, well, there's kind of more impossible

00:44:43 --> 00:44:45

Okay, anybody that you think is safe is

00:44:45 --> 00:44:48

safe That is what the process I'm sad

00:44:48 --> 00:44:52

Can you imagine how difficult that moment must

00:44:52 --> 00:44:54

be What about what she?

00:44:55 --> 00:45:00

the one who actually committed the the Killing

00:45:00 --> 00:45:01

of hands that are the last time I

00:45:01 --> 00:45:04

know who enters into the fold of Islam

00:45:04 --> 00:45:10

very shortly after Can you imagine being in

00:45:10 --> 00:45:14

that situation facing the person who caused wrong

00:45:14 --> 00:45:17

and harm to your family and Having to

00:45:17 --> 00:45:19

say, you know what this is beyond me

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

Yeah, so when we are faced with these

00:45:22 --> 00:45:25

difficulties that we have in life And we're

00:45:25 --> 00:45:28

faced with these hardships and we're tempted to

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

be the worst person This is why Allah

00:45:30 --> 00:45:33

tells us like other can I let compete

00:45:33 --> 00:45:34

or so that he also to NASA now

00:45:35 --> 00:45:37

that most definitely without a doubt you will

00:45:37 --> 00:45:40

find the messenger of Allah a very perfect

00:45:40 --> 00:45:42

role model why because every hardship you think

00:45:42 --> 00:45:43

you have gone through the process and has

00:45:43 --> 00:45:46

faced much worse and Every temptation you think

00:45:46 --> 00:45:48

you cannot fight the process and I'm it's

00:45:48 --> 00:45:51

literally telling us listen There's something worse than

00:45:51 --> 00:45:53

than your own temptation for something.

00:45:53 --> 00:45:56

That's your own satisfaction What about when you

00:45:56 --> 00:45:57

have to fight for your family?

00:45:59 --> 00:46:00

What about when you have to fight for

00:46:00 --> 00:46:02

someone who you love the most in your

00:46:02 --> 00:46:06

life and You're faced with the impossible situation.

00:46:06 --> 00:46:07

What are you gonna choose?

00:46:07 --> 00:46:10

You have to choose a lot This is

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

what Allah swt is teaching us.

00:46:12 --> 00:46:15

He's letting us know That we need to

00:46:15 --> 00:46:18

render ourselves into submission because that's the only

00:46:18 --> 00:46:20

way we're gonna make it hard The only

00:46:20 --> 00:46:22

way we're gonna be able to get truly

00:46:22 --> 00:46:24

what we need out of life and truly

00:46:24 --> 00:46:26

what is gonna make us people who go

00:46:26 --> 00:46:28

to Jannah truly what is gonna make a

00:46:28 --> 00:46:30

list of that are pleased with us is

00:46:30 --> 00:46:34

by submitting ourselves to Allah swt and This

00:46:34 --> 00:46:35

is what we learn from the beginning of

00:46:35 --> 00:46:36

the story.

00:46:36 --> 00:46:36

Now.

00:46:37 --> 00:46:40

There's a dua that is very important And

00:46:40 --> 00:46:41

I find this do I to be so

00:46:41 --> 00:46:45

beautiful Because it acknowledges two things.

00:46:45 --> 00:46:47

Sometimes we focus a lot on the person

00:46:47 --> 00:46:49

we used to be and we say, okay

00:46:49 --> 00:46:50

We just want to become better people and

00:46:50 --> 00:46:52

we don't realize that in the journey of

00:46:52 --> 00:46:55

becoming better people you can regress There are

00:46:55 --> 00:46:58

times where you can take major missteps There

00:46:58 --> 00:46:59

are times where you can do things in

00:46:59 --> 00:47:01

a way that is less than ideal or

00:47:01 --> 00:47:03

something that you didn't you didn't think You

00:47:03 --> 00:47:06

know was the right you didn't think that

00:47:06 --> 00:47:07

you were making the wrong decision, but it

00:47:07 --> 00:47:10

is the wrong decision And so that do

00:47:10 --> 00:47:12

I that I want us to memorize and

00:47:12 --> 00:47:13

you guys can repeat after me is yam.

00:47:14 --> 00:47:18

McCullough bell I look will do be the

00:47:18 --> 00:47:25

bit Colby Aladdin It means Oh Turner of

00:47:25 --> 00:47:28

the hearts Keep my heart firm upon your

00:47:28 --> 00:47:31

religion and the reason why this is so

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

important is because the heart does turn One

00:47:33 --> 00:47:35

day you can think something is so terrible

00:47:35 --> 00:47:37

and the next day you can be what

00:47:38 --> 00:47:38

Doing it.

00:47:39 --> 00:47:41

And so we are asking Allah swt to

00:47:41 --> 00:47:42

not turn our hearts in a way that's

00:47:42 --> 00:47:46

away from his path The second thing is

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

that it's so important for us to be

00:47:48 --> 00:47:51

honest with ourselves What that means is a

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

honorable hot dog ready a lot of time

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

And he says has he bought an fuss

00:47:55 --> 00:47:58

a comb Probably I'm too hassy move that

00:47:58 --> 00:48:01

a person should hold themselves accountable before they're

00:48:01 --> 00:48:04

held accountable Look at yourself in the mirror

00:48:04 --> 00:48:06

and ask yourself What are the things that

00:48:06 --> 00:48:08

I need to face and fix before it

00:48:08 --> 00:48:09

becomes worse?

00:48:09 --> 00:48:11

And what are the things that are maybe

00:48:11 --> 00:48:12

like in that red line?

00:48:12 --> 00:48:15

They're probably pretty bad pretty not that great

00:48:15 --> 00:48:19

that I need to fix before I am

00:48:19 --> 00:48:22

taken to account by Allah and The third

00:48:22 --> 00:48:25

thing is that a person is able to

00:48:25 --> 00:48:29

protect themselves By keeping them by keeping their

00:48:29 --> 00:48:32

tongue moist with vicar Right a person who

00:48:32 --> 00:48:35

does as God it is important why the

00:48:35 --> 00:48:38

process and says in the narration that Shaitaan

00:48:38 --> 00:48:40

sits on the corner of the heart of

00:48:40 --> 00:48:43

a believer and Whenever that person is not

00:48:43 --> 00:48:45

in the remembrance of Allah, that is when

00:48:45 --> 00:48:49

Shaitaan does his waswasa So essentially that all

00:48:49 --> 00:48:51

of the wrongs we in the following into

00:48:51 --> 00:48:54

an accident It usually happens at a time

00:48:54 --> 00:48:56

when when we're not really thinking about a

00:48:56 --> 00:48:59

lot Because when we're thinking about Allah, then

00:48:59 --> 00:49:00

we're like, I don't know if that's something

00:49:00 --> 00:49:03

I should do Allah swt says in the

00:49:03 --> 00:49:06

living that taco that those who are God

00:49:06 --> 00:49:09

conscious and they're aware of Allah Either I

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

must say whom thought if it's a minute

00:49:11 --> 00:49:15

Shaitaan That whenever Shaitaan prompts them to do

00:49:15 --> 00:49:18

something to that caroo for you that homo

00:49:18 --> 00:49:21

But see don't that they then remember a

00:49:21 --> 00:49:25

lot and they immediately see straight like you're

00:49:25 --> 00:49:28

able to see clearly and This is what

00:49:28 --> 00:49:31

happened with use of a son The first

00:49:31 --> 00:49:33

thing he said was what now the law

00:49:33 --> 00:49:35

and the last one thought I says he

00:49:35 --> 00:49:37

would have been tempted But he saw Burhan

00:49:37 --> 00:49:39

he saw the evidence and he saw that

00:49:39 --> 00:49:42

guidance and he saw that clarity From Allah.

00:49:42 --> 00:49:44

So I pray that Allah swt allows us

00:49:44 --> 00:49:46

all to benefit from everything that we've heard

00:49:46 --> 00:49:48

here today I pray that Allah swt forgives

00:49:48 --> 00:49:50

us all of our shortcomings Allah swt allows

00:49:50 --> 00:49:52

us to be people who always walk in

00:49:52 --> 00:49:54

the right path I pray that Allah swt

00:49:54 --> 00:49:55

allows us to be people who stand firm

00:49:55 --> 00:49:57

on our deen That Allah swt allows us

00:49:57 --> 00:49:59

to be people who have hearts that are

00:49:59 --> 00:50:01

firm towards the path that he wants us

00:50:01 --> 00:50:03

to be on That he continuously guides us

00:50:03 --> 00:50:06

in the best of ways Subhanakallahumma bihamdika, nashadu

00:50:06 --> 00:50:09

ala ilaha ila anta, nastafiruka, wunatubu ilayk, jazakum

00:50:09 --> 00:50:11

khayran, assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Al

00:50:11 --> 00:50:11

Fatiha
