			generosity.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			Now,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			when I talk about generosity, what comes to your mind?
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			Meaning money. So,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:39
			of course Allah, him and everybody else do it part time, which I'm not saying anything about this. I
wanted to be more deeper. And I wanted to look at how many opportunities and what you know to be
generous, and I absolutely don't see it and throw it away. And I feel so bad when I hear my friend
paid on the door and in my budget cannot allow me what to pay for your
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:56
			generosity. Absolutely. There's no question about it. And this is a very famous How do you have to
slam you to eat so you need to breathe in number one every night, except the last year before he
died. It was twice and can this whole was this kind of Jordan.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:11
			He was more more generous than the running wind to bring a lot of that. However, I want you to look
at generosity in another way. Give me an example of generosity outside money.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			forgiving, forgiving.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			Smiling in the face of someone? Absolutely.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:30
			So reaching, reaching truly your kinships even if they never call you.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:37
			I wouldn't say this is generosity. But I want generosity mean it's something extra. You have to do.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			I that's it.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:44
			I'm sorry.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:54
			So remove remove any harm. It's not generosity, self sacrifice. generosity.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:05
			For example, you're cooking then you sell everyday food in your neighborhood. That's fine. I'm
looking for more than that.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			To be generous.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:24
			That's not generous, generous, generous, more generous. Are you ready? do you have? How many of you
because I have never been here in number one in your mosque. The woman here in a crowded
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			number one
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			crowded or there is plenty of space.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:36
			Yeah, and if you come at a time, you may or may not find a place.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:03:06
			This is the scenario. And I see this all the time in St. Louis. Definitely in the home. So if you
are you are interested, right? Let's say your reality in the States, your family on the weekend. Or
kids come on in. We're gonna bring the past in the West you gonna stay? I brought my son Jada. I
brought my swag but my misbehave might come on. I want to enjoy my day. My husband is there. Kids
are there. Alhamdulillah. So I come in.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:15
			And I'm sitting in that place. Beautiful center. I hear well, nobody disrupt. Before I shall walk
past you. You have to.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			You know what I'm saying? What happens? You come back. Good luck. Bye bye.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			And world war three will happen.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			That's generous.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:51
			generosity, is what you give more, or more than average, more than most people do. Or you do
something most people will not. And especially giving your right that's generosity.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			It's with people is with me. That's why I told it's not about money. Because a lot of people don't
have money.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:07
			But how many will do this the example I gave how money somebody looks at you, and this is your
spouse. But when he was
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:14
			shot it was so beautiful. Take it and you may not take it in your
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:29
			generosity. Same thing with the same thing without by your generosity you will give you will give
not because of who she especially if you don't know
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:30
			what to do,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			are doing it because he was
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			and I'm following his footsteps. Because a lot
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:52
			of what love is also a jungle is because of what says those who spend when they have and when they
don't have they don't have me when I come to the masjid. There's no place. I'm not going to be
praying in the masjid that she took my place not a single word.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:05:00
			And, of course, the people who's next to you it's hard please what happened and then you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			margins and it's okay no it's not okay.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			You're not stalling, right? But he will
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:15
			help each other to be generous. Nothing is yours. So I tell myself nothing is mine is nothing.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:16
			It's
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:24
			just to give you as Keep it with you for a while, then he will take it back. So generosity in
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:31
			exactly in food. I'm sure you come into the line awfully fast. The first one I'm thinking
everything.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:58
			No, put the least make at least five place to be the people behind you before you do it for
yourself. That's generosity. The last piece of cable the last piece of something, the speed by
people behind you leave it, you want it you like it. But to be generous. The series is all small
things are not how much we even pay attention to to be journalists.
