As Salam alikoum
Smilla Al Hamdulillah salatu salam ala Rasulillah while early he or
soft V woman Wada, La Molina myInfo now one foreigner Bhima
alum tena in a custom Yamaji with dua, la manera, who become 9
million file I'll be nyesha When I've seen lots of our own lives
have been allowed to subgroup and our banter is had a tenner or
Hebden AMOLED, Ankara inika internal hub, or be strictly
southern US, sadly, Emery was blocked literally 70 of polling
case, you see some of the youth here, I actually allowed it
because the story of alcohol is related to younger men. It's not
only to younger men, but it's the young generation. So just acmella
here for coming. Welcome. Inshallah, you will enjoy it. I'm
going to ask you all the questions at the end. And I'm just kidding.
So we're going to continue, I don't think we will finish the
story of the people or the men of the case today, because it is a
long story. And there's a lot of lessons to learn a lot of
information that it will be nice if you know what to review. And if
you don't know what that hamdulillah Brian, so we're going
to continue just a summary of last week so we all can be on the same
page we said sorted calf was revealed in McCall Medina
hamdulillah has revealed in Makkah, is related to Illustra.
Before that, because again, if you look at the end of a solitary
Surah, literally the last verse of sorcery, so as we're calling
Hamdulillah, and say to Ross or Esau to send all Praise to Allah,
you come to alcohol, the first line Alhamdulillah The first one
is called hamdulillah sejarah. So Allah hamdulillah because of all
the criteria of Allah subhanaw taala didn't have a child did not
have an a partner with the, with his sovereign, then the second
hamdulillah which we all have to feel it is that Allah sent the
book for us. And majority of us young and old, I don't think we
really feel it, that this is the biggest net loss and us there is
two major blessings Allah Sanders, number one or three I will say,
number one, he we we were born as Muslims or Allah guided us to be
Muslim depends who are we here? And number two is that Allah
subhanaw taala Sandra Swati salatu salam Without Him we will be lost.
How do we know what to do and not to do even the book, even the
Quran and the third thing is the Quran itself is the guidance. But
unfortunately again, everybody how much is really the Quran is a
guidance. How many of us really when I have an issue, I'm gonna go
and dig in the Quran find the answer, or I'm just gonna go and
find the piece in the Quran. Unfortunately, we look at
everything else. And I don't know even if you go back to the Quran,
including those who know Arabi. It's not about you don't know
Arabi or you don't know English it's doesn't matter because the
translation will still give you the feeling and honesty by Allah
whenever on this is an advice to everybody, even if I'm worthy of
giving, giving an advice. But whenever you don't feel well just
pick up the Quran read
anything, it doesn't matter. I'm not gonna give you this verse or
that verse, you can come from this. So there's a lot of come
from the other side. There's a lot of food you can go from the back.
There is a lot of chairs and on this side, come all over you from
the back. Come on in. The younger man come on in this couple of
younger men here. From the from the back. All of you go through
the back go around. Yes, exactly.
So basically, an advice to everybody. Number one is make the
Quran part of your life.
On the weekend, when I was talking to there was a lot of you with
also but I was just saying if you do one verse a day, and again May
Allah forgive me for making this but one verse 30. How long it
takes you to read one verse it
is give me an average.
One verse, one verse. I didn't say one page. I didn't say one
chapter. I didn't say one juice. I said one verse how long it takes
you to say Alhamdulillah hiragana mean? That's a verse. How long how
long it took me how many breaths? One breath. One breath. Al hamdu
Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. Right. And how long it took if you put a
timer it's less than 10 seconds. Why don't we do
10 seconds Yes, 24 hours a day
and we have time for everything else but if you do that, Allah it
is for us it's not for Allah doesn't doesn't Janya May Allah
forgive me for the word but just to make it easy does Allah clarify
right or I didn't.
Is he like really? Oh, he didn't read today? No. It's up to you. If
I send it to you, I told you what it is you want to read it is for
you. If you don't want to read it, you will be asked and you will be
the loser. So the first thing the reason I am doing all this and
going into the details of the application of it is because we
need to change our relationship with the Quran. Young and old. We
have time for everything I see the younger man they all have time for
football. Soccer these days is the Olympics. Last month there was the
tennis if you follow tennis in Wimbledon, we have all this for
the
With us, right woman we have different depends who are you
what's your favorite things? What's your hobbies? We have time
for everything we do not have time for the Quran. You know why we
don't have time for the Quran is not because we don't have time is
because we don't think it's a priority.
True or false Subhan Allah may Allah forgive us and this is what
I'm trying to, to bring to everybody's life, bring it back to
your life, put a time non negotiable morning, evening
Afternoon everybody is different. But don't say today I'm going to
do it this morning or tomorrow I'm going to do evening it's not going
to work this way. You have to have a fixed time for the Quran. This
is the Quran time. Like when you say many mothers will say this is
the time for my children. The youth will say this is time for my
friends. This is time for study. Everybody goes to school in two or
three weeks. Everybody goes to school at eight o'clock. Do we
like to go to school? Absolutely not. Right? What Why do we go? Why
do we go and we feel bad if we don't go because we know it's a
priority. And it's gonna give me the dunya if I look at the Quran
this way, I will make your time and I will make a time remember
one verse is stentless and 10 seconds. So Al Hamdulillah De Anza
Rolla Abdi hit kitab. It's a praise meaning it's a Niermann,
it's a blessings. I look at everything around me blessings,
but I don't look at this book as a blessing. I ask everybody when was
don't show me hands. I don't want to know. When was the last time
you read the Quran since from Allah. When did the last time you
finish the Quran? Since from Allah, it's four months now.
Right? And hamdullah if I finished one chapter, and I'm talking about
general I'm not talking about certain people, you know, you're
happy about or memorizing. But in general, I have time to exercise
majority of us every day, one hour, two hours, I drive, I go to
the gym, I hate it, but I do it. Very few people really love to go
and exercise especially in the beginning, but we all do it. So
let's make sure first thing as Allah Subhana Allah blessed us
with this is to make sure ask him beg him make the Quran Robbia
Calbee may make the Quran the spring of my heart. Make it the
spring of my heart, what's the spring gives you life? When you're
thirsty you drink because Spring is the season and the water. So
then you say hamdulillah the ends and the first thing he started by
saying all Praise to Allah there's a Nemo read it.
And he sent it and came and it's a straight that is no going right or
going left there is no every judge it's not bend. And why Allah sent
the Quran to two reasons is either it's a glad tiding or it is a
warning. It depends who I am.
You want to you want to be guided you want to receive the glad
tiding just read it. And the more you read it you're connected, the
more you're connected, it will change you. I have never, ever and
I'm saying this categorically a person who is related to the
Quran, the Quran is part of their life they have not changed. It
doesn't matter which language they read it
it because you don't why? Because it's the words of Allah
is the word of your and my Creator. And if somebody important
speaks we all listen. Oh, this is an important speech. And then the
most important speech of the creator of you and me. So the
first thing sorted cap starts sort of very interesting. Starts with
the talk about the book and which is the words of Allah end up with
the words of Allah.
Words ends with the words of ALLAH removed, remember this when we get
to the end, but it starts by hamdulillah or praise to Allah
that sent the book and then he ended up collo canon Barrameda
then the Kadima terribIe say if the ocean or the sea, you may
doubt them because the matter of if it was as vast as and it
contains the words of Allah. Then if he then Bokoblin 10, for the
Kadima to Ruby, the C will not be enough, the C will end and the
words of Allah will not end that's how you connect the beginning and
the end of every Surah every chapter in the Quran, the first
and the end is connected. It's amazing when you start paying
attention to it and connect it to the one before and the one after.
Then it comes to a verse which Allah has repeated in the Quran in
different way for that I look up athreon nappsa Carla 30 am, this
is for everyone in this room. When you have somebody that you know
your family, your spouse, your friend, that they are not guided,
and you feel bad for them. And this is one of the commonest pain
we Muslims go through which or the new Muslims even worse than us,
when they see somebody that you really love care about and they
are not guided whether they absolutely not Muslim completely,
or they are not guided. And he said the Torah Suarez autumn sun
verse six, Allah Allah Kabbalah on NAFSA kala 13 Illumio will be
other Hadith
Yes sir. Are you going to literally back your knapsack or
are you going to
turn yourself because they didn't believe
and this is to you and me when you really tried you really did your
best specially parents because this is becoming also another sad
phenomena when you really did your best and Allah knows your best is
your best and then for some reason or the other, the children did not
come up the way you want. Or May Allah protect the children they
completely loved it.
Then you know what you did your best for Allah kabbani staying
Torah Swati saw to a sinner. This was revealed in Makkah. You
surrounded by his family, who's Abu Lahab
who is Abu Lahab
Who is he to rasa they sought to set up exactly right tub but he
had a Aveda having whatever rasa they saw to some was saying it.
And he can imagine because this was revealed to Roswell he saw to
Santa and he was saying it to the Sahaba who's Ebola with his uncle.
So it's when we are tested with the people we love. We're not the
only one the best of the creation was tested and he stunning him
verse six Allah Allah kabocha on half second don't kill yourself
literally terminology we say Please don't kill yourself. Let me
let me know we have that hadith eSFR it's very unfortunate. They
did not believe in this talk, which is the Quran and then Allah
before and I want you why I'm going into this because he didn't
start with the story right away of the calf. He didn't Allah subhanaw
taala he said blessings is the book. What is this book summary?
Then don't worry RSO Allah if they don't believe they don't believe
right? Then he brings to the reality which majority of us see
it on daily basis and it's a huge reminder but we just go just pass
and look at verse number seven in our Jana model of this unit Allah
we have made everything on this earth upon this earth in this
earth beauty this life and this earth is beautiful. Whoever says
no, then you haven't seen it? Well, especially us living in this
most beautiful one of the most beautiful cities and states right?
You drive Don't worry about the traffic if you're stuck in traffic
Don't worry about the traffic look on your right. And if you look up
you're gonna see mountains and sometimes it depends when or when
are you going to look at the left and you're gonna see the ocean?
What's more beauty you want?
Right? Then you look even now when you leave or when you came right
look at around you. It's beautiful enough is the weather. Right? And
Allah has seen with Jana we made it Allah didn't make it ugly.
Subhanallah every time I travel I look it down. I was like Allah
What is this beauty, but you have not looked at it since you created
it.
Man Avila la hamdu halacha he did not look at this earth. From the
moment he created it. You know, when we do something with our
hands, whether you cook whether you paint, whether you write how
many times you look at it
a lot. And you start with oh, let's look good. And let me make
sure I tell everybody to look at it right? Because it is nice. And
this dunya that we are literally killing each other because of it.
cutting ties this obeying Allah for it. He didn't look at it.
And he said it is a beautiful Jana model of the zenith Allah, it is
beautiful. But why? And this is number one question why we are
here?
If you have any non Muslim friend, right, you're going to ask him why
we are here? What are you going to tell you to have fun?
Or to be tested, which I don't like this word unless you really
know what test is.
We're not. Allah says, I put you in here. It's beautiful. I'm not
going to deny it. It's beautiful. It's going to load you. I'm just
going to look and see who's going to do the best.
Literally, you have, let's say you have your children or you have
your friends, and you have $100 And he said, everybody, I'm going
to give you $10 $10 $10 And I pulled back and I said I'm just
gonna watch what are you going to do with this? $10 What do you see?
Some people wasted? Some people don't do anything with it and some
people invested.
Which one we are doing here on this life?
are we investing? If you are investing, then you will do the 10
seconds looking at a verse in the Quran.
It's very easy to see things and I'm so scared when I say things
like cure Allah. I said it you're going to test me right away. If
you're really in this earth. I look at it as my investment for
Acura, then everything I do that doesn't mean I'm not gonna do
anything.
I'm not going to have fun I'm not gonna study No, no, no, no, no he
didn't say that. He said for Lulu Alimi NLRB, the Roswaal is Otto
Sinha, cough ugly little comedy Alka walkabout Kofoed.
Seneca the virtue of the person who is worshipping Allah over the
one, I'm sorry, the virtue of somebody who is knowledgeable
meaning you study you learn, you look around over the person who
worship Allah is the same level of heroes who are these thoughts
around his virtue over the sahaba? So we are here in this dunya Yes,
have fun. Of course, there was one I saw to summit one he used to
race with Aisha Sedaris, but we're not here only to have fun. I am
here he gave me 12345 Everybody was given something different.
What did you do with it?
This is how he gave me the introduction. Then he comes to us
how Bitka I hope now you're all feeling the crescendo. It's the
Quran is literally like, of course, is Allah subhanaw taala.
But when a writer write a book, he gives you an introduction, he
moves you slowly, slowly stories to an A suddenly he gives you
something, you keep reading the page. So this earth we are here to
show Allah who is better. And I can't claim it. This is the other
thing. I can't claim that I can tell you. Stories about how good I
am sure. Let's see what Allah wrote in my book. And that's why
there is a beautiful book. I mentioned it last year, every time
I see this book, I remember it's a beautiful book called The and
Nikola. Because you are Allah, it's an hour it is not translated.
The book is amazing. But the most amazing thing is the the author
dedicated to his mother. Okay, everybody dedicated to the mother.
But look what he said. He said he didn't say to the my mother. And
I'm going to tell you what is really what's the relationship. He
said to the woman. This book is written to the woman when she
asked me and I was eight years of age. Did you pray martyrdom?
And he said it I said yes. And I was lying.
She said to him, meaning she knew he was lying. The one you prayed
to was seeing you
done he wrote this book.
And he became one of the really I mean amazing books. Again, if you
read the how to be go and read this booklet and Nicola and you
can download it actually, also. So the point is, I am in this because
this is then next Allah gonna take me to the story of alcohol, Allah
subhanaw taala assigned to me, I and you will and all of us
different ages, we are on this earth for a purpose, not to be
tested and have a tough life. Some of us Yes, but some of us has very
easy life. And this is also another test. But which one is
better? When I have everything, I'm doing what Allah wants me to
do, or when I have nothing or tested, I'm doing what Allah wants
me or you can assign Muhammad Allah. Then he comes and tells you
the and none of us think of it this way. How long we're going to
live on this earth.
Give us what is the oldest person live on this earth? Currently
right now.
One or two or one or three? Right? So how much left from your life?
Everybody in this room? If you are 15, another 85. If you're going to
live if you're 50 50% gone. If you're 60 Now we are in downhill
decline. Exactly. And he says we're going to make it back ashes.
When Elijah I don't know ma la house. I don't know Rosa.
Everything is gonna go every time you see mountain and we live in a
state full of mountains. Remember this for verse In surah Taha is I
don't need to Juba they ask you about mountains, Kalia and sifu
Hora been Asfa tell them my Lord will explode them. Nassif is
you've seen all these sad.
Pictures came from us or the clips came from Azusa when you have a
big huge building. And what did they do? NASA that's how they say
meaning you put something under it. And then a big huge explosion
and everything becomes rubble. Every mountain here will become
this.
All this house that we are building for years. Again,
disobeying Allah doing this doing this in a minute I'm still alive.
It's gonna go. Everything set J Luna ma la ha side and Joe Rosa.
Now you're all here. Now, the story of Alkaff the man of the
car, the story of Allah subhanaw taala especially in this one he
gives you a summary and then he gives you the
detail, I hope everybody your assorted care if you paid
attention to this. In medicine when we write papers, we call it
an abstract. And then we take you through the whole detail of it.
And the abstract. Usually when you when you present a paper has to be
not more than half a page. What did you do? How did you do it?
What's the conclusion? Then you go through the whole detail. This is
what Allah subhanaw taala said from the from verse number nine,
and to 12 to 12. So put this so you can follow from nine to 12 is
the summary. What did he say?
Tora Swati. Salatu Salam. He's talking to her. And I'm going to
tell you why Allah is talking to her. And her sister nos Hubbard.
Kathiawar are creamy. Can when I act in algebra? Do you think it's
a question? No answer, of course. Okay. Do you think that the story
of the man of the cave was something really weird? It's
really miraculous.
Mmm hmm. symptomless Hubbard Kathiawar Rafi McCann, human I
attina Algebra. Of course, those of you who know Arabi, the
linguistic of Surah Kahf. How Allah ends all of us with LF. And
using the words in a way to end like this gives the meaning unless
you really know how to be, well, you're not going to enjoy this,
please forgive me. But this is one of them. Do you think that it is
really strange that there is people of the cave? No answer. But
then now you're going to come and see Why did Allah says, What is so
special about the people of the cave? Why it's a miraculous thing.
And then he gives you who are they? And this is why I asked all
the youth to come is our feet here today. They were younger man.
And they say what is fit here? What is a factor?
age wise? Youth what is youth?
Has to be somebody who's an adult, but is young. So again, it
depends. You could be 15. You could be 17. You could be 20. Very
unlikely you're 25 They don't call them fatter in the Arabic
language. Right? So it's probably between imagine this 15 to 20
Roughly again, because Allah didn't say their age. And we don't
want to say something Allah didn't say but he puts the word Fattah,
right. Like say, you know Ali, when he slept in the bed of Rasul
Allah is auto Sinha, he was a feta, how old was he? 16.
And he Allah Who says is oh, well fits here to eat Alkaff I may take
a long time, probably not today. And we're probably going to take
another one or two, because I want you to pay attention to the words
Allah has seen our our Magua in the Arabic language, meaning a
place that is going to give me comfort is not necessarily my
house. But it is a place where I'm going to feel comfortable, and I'm
going to feel safe. Where did they go?
Cave escape Hubley cave, a place of comfort? Or it's a place I'm
gonna feel safe? Not necessarily, especially these days in age,
you're so scared, you have no idea what the animal is going to come
out. Right? Usually they are dark. And usually they are small. And
usually they are low.
Very unlikely, unless it is really under the earth where you're going
to go into a cave. This cave is in a mountain that you're not going
to do like that and go in. Is that Amala?
Is that a five bedroom house?
Pay attention to this because there's a deep meaning and it is
our fifth year to El Kaffee for call you. They said and now who
are they? Nobody knows the name. And nobody knows even the number
because there's arguments about the number. Why didn't Allah tell
me the name?
And why didn't Allah tell me the number? Because it doesn't matter?
Who are you? And what is your name? And how tall you are? And
what color your eyes is the most important thing is, what did you
do with Allah? Because what he described here is neither their
name or their family or where they grew up. We don't even know where
it is the cave.
I mean, people say it's this place and this place nobody knows. And
most of the scholars tells you don't say anything. You don't have
a proof. Some says it's in Jordan. Some says it's in Palestine. Some
says it's in Egypt. We don't know. You know why?
It doesn't matter. Because the location is not the issue. For
example, Allah puts me here doesn't really matter. I am in
Irvine. No, he's not gonna tell me I put you in our white. He can
tell me what did you do?
When I put you in Irvine or I put you in any state or any place, I
will fit here to Ilkka. Why?
They were young people, right? And they say they were either
Christians or before Christianity, but for sure it is after Judaism,
because I'm going to tell you why. What did they do? They were living
like you and me in a city. And the city was run by a king. And the
king was strong, and might, and He wants everyone to believe in
Allah. But also they have to worship
idols, no idols, these young people. And this applies to all of
us. We're living in a non Muslim country, people around us not
worship, what we worship.
How many of us are fit here?
How many of us are those people?
Immediately they said, We're not going to do it. They talk to Allah
for call Robina first they talk to Allah attina Mala Dunker, Rama,
why yet? And I'm Marina Rashida. They are talking to Allah, they
left left their city now their friends, not their neighbor, not
the social media. You really have to think when Allah gives you a
story, how can it apply on me when I'm living here? I'm not living at
that time. But there is influences they were influenced or they were
exposed to influences. I have the same exposure, but they have
different names. Right? They have a king they had a king who pushed
them to disobey Allah. I don't have a king who does push me to
disobey Allah. But I have so many influences called social media,
called friends called society called culture and called me
because sometimes when I'm alone, and none of these are there, I
still disobey Allah. It's me. So the influences are every time
everywhere a time of Roswall a site was around before and after.
What did they do? When I am exposed to a fitna? A test and
this one is test in my Deen don't pray. When we go home or pray
don't pray in the school. Everybody will look at you don't
pray at work. Don't put your hijab they will not hire you. I don't
know how many of you have heard this. What did they say? Robina
Artina Malankara hochma They turn to online says your hola shower on
us your loving mercy well he then I'm an armory now Rashida
make it easy for us guide us they didn't say I can do it. I planted
or no no no, I'm not going to be different. Look at everybody why I
want to be different. No, they know it is difficult they know
it's a challenge. Turn to Allah says your Allah. Guide me.
Your Allah show me how many of us when we are tested in our deen
when I'm in that gathering, or those friends and everyone or
majority are doing things I know it's not pleasing to Allah. It's a
matter of time. Very few of any got up and prayed. And now I'm the
only one should I get up? Or everybody will look at me. And
they say oh, look at her.
And when they were in this, they turn to Allah and they said guide
us
that's the first lesson you need to learn from when you are faced
with a challenge and the dean turned to him on the spot. This is
on the spot at anomala don't Kurama if this is not you who's
going to who's going to save us and the Rama came in the decision
they made?
Well, he Lenormand marinara Shuddha and guide us make what we
say is guided is pleasing you what we are going to do is pleasing
you. How many of us do that. Honestly younger than a an old how
many of us when we're faced with a test on the spot. I don't do
anything. I don't pick up my phone. I'm not going to turn to my
friend. I'm just going to talk to him.
Even quietly guide me, save me. Keep me strong. Show me what I
need to do. Don't make me say this. It's not pleasing to you. Do
we do that?
Again, don't answer me. These are all questions we learned. Remember
I told you last week, every Friday, we are supposed to read.
It's not an obligation. It's a highly recommended sooner because
every week I need to be reminded because every week I am faced with
this. Well, hey Elon, I'm an anomaly now Russia immediately
look at this. Allah said Fabio Robina immediately responded.
Don't you think Allah don't listen? And don't you think Allah
will not answer you?
Then you don't know him? You better know him. But the way he
answers is not what you want on the spot.
It's on the spot but could be completely different. And if you
are that person connected with Allah, He will probably will give
you exactly what you want on the spot. Immediately Alassane Vallabh
nallah, Donenfeld Caffrey, Sunni, nada, we made them not hear
anything. It's again a figure of speech. Why?
Because if you hear there's a lot of noises, you're not going to
sleep. This couple of things makes me not sleep, noise and
sun.
What do you think people wear?
The I cover? Or they put the blackout? Or when you're
traveling, if you're traveling overseas, they make the plane very
dark. Why?
They don't have electricity? Of course they do. But because they
want you to sleep because light, stimulate light, stimulate the
eye, and noise stimulate the ear, I can't sleep. And Allah says We
made them not here.
How?
That's his miracle. That's why he said, Do you think this is a
miracle?
For the Robina Allah Donenfeld caveats to all of us now we
brought them back.
And then Allah comes and tell him the details of the story. The Jews
came to rasool Allah salatu salam in Makkah, this is why this was
revealed to stories in sort of calf was revealed because of this,
the nun or the disbelievers, they would really annoyed by Roswaal a
Saltos. Because he was extremely effective. May Allah make us on
his footsteps, he was very effective in two ways. And sha
Allah next month, which is few days from now, we're going to make
next month all in within icoi is about Roswaal. A software, we
really need to know Him Subhan Allah, Somebody just sent me last
week,
he is writing at a booklet to the non Muslims and to Muslims living
in the West, how to know him. It's not about the Sierra, it's about
to know Him. And once you know Him, you will change your opinion
about him and about his style. So here, they came to him. very
annoyed challenge when somebody don't like you. We don't what they
do. They try to put you down, right? Make fun of you. You all
know this. Young and old, they make fun of you, either the way
you look, or they challenge you. Oh, she's very smart. Let me make
sure I'm gonna say something that she doesn't know what I'm going to
tell her tell me and she doesn't know. Right? That's what they did.
They came and says your profit. Okay, tell us about three things.
In fact, they went to the Jews. And they said, This man is causing
a lot of issues. And
they said fine. Ask him three questions. If he is a real
prophet, he will know the answer. And if he is not, that's it you
want. They asked him for sunroute with Soluna konnyaku asked him
about the soul. Allah who responded right away Collaroy him
in Amarillo, b Tell them soul is from the knowledge of Allah,
meaning I don't know. But he gave them the verse done. Second, tell
us about those young people who left their city and they went into
the cave.
He had no idea.
And then they asked him a third question Tell us about that person
who went to the west and the east of this earth. He was clueless. He
didn't know.
Now what did he say? If you know?
Higher Laila, then what did he say?
You will answer he will answer. He said I'll answer you tomorrow. Big
mistake. And Allah told him that
and this is amazing. One of the proves that the Quran is the words
of ALLAH and not the words of Roswaal is auto Sana, when there
is versus Allah literally correcting the Rasul Allah
Software Center, or in some is actually blaming him? Do you write
a book? And you blame yourself or you show yourself wrong? No,
you're gonna write a book to show people there is nobody smarter
than you.
So he said, I'll tell you tomorrow. Now what's happened? No
answer for how long? 15 days.
Imagine, imagine this is how I want you to feel imagine here,
right? And I'm so confident. And I say something you asked me. I
said, Oh, I'll give you the answer tomorrow. And you're waiting here.
And I come and I go, day, one day, two day, 315 days. Now of course
they start mocking
From
where is it? You said, you know, you said your profit? Where is the
answer? 15 days or loss and the answer
the story
I'm happy to announce Hubbard kufuor Rocky McCann omen 18
algebra, and he gave him all the details. Imagine what happened to
the disbelievers and
all the details. It is two and a half pages the story every single
thing
then comes to the details of it. So first he gave him the summary
second, no, no. Now the answer nothing Rocco solich Unabomber
will help. I'm gonna we're gonna tell you the story. So true story.
That's exactly what Allah said. No one fit here to young people. I
want every young person in this room. Even if you're not young by
age by number, but young by feelings. Does this apply to you?
Am I going to be somebody who Allah when I'm standing in front
of him? You're going to see oh, she is like those people?
What did they do that Allah put them? gave them two and a half
pages without name in his book
in the whole fifth year, two young people, right? What did they do?
Number one, I'm an OB Robbie.
Now, you're gonna say well, I'm believer. And why you're saying
this to me? Right? Is everybody a believer in this room? If you're
not a believer, you're not going to be here. Right. hamdulillah
smile rabita Culham. But am I a true believer? And my actions?
Confirm my belief?
Yes or no?
Allahu Allah, my Allah.
Allah knows. Of course, Allah knows. Right? But what do I think?
Not what you think of me? Or I think of you? What do I think of
me? As I always say to myself, and I want you all to learn this. Ask
yourself, ask Allah, Who am I with you?
When Allah looks at me, or looks at you, and looks at you and looks
at you, who are you, he's not gonna say Mohammed Abdullah or
sorrow. He's not gonna say this. These are names, once I die, and
you all know that.
And they bring me to the masjid. To pray janazah they, nobody would
call me by my name anymore. What do they call
the body? Did you pay attention to this? Nobody, nobody calls you by
name done? The body or as janazah?
So the name is not the issue. It's what did you do? Allah says, Am I
no Bira be him. And we guided them more, the first step. And this is
for all of us. In this journey to Allah subhanaw taala. To stay
strong in this day and age that is we are tested right and left in
every step of us is you want to be guided? Not necessarily you're
guided yet, but you want to be an OB or have been they wanted and
they did and what Allah gave them extra, was it an extra? And one
thing all you need to know because this is one of the frequent
questions I get. Faith changes.
Faith is not like that.
One day, I wake up for Fudger. And next day, I missed it. And next
day, I have read Quran and the day after or the week after I missed
it. And Imam uz do and because this is a very well known fact we
all have to accept and agree and it's not bad when he lie and
it's can goes down and goes up. And this is what the advice not MY
WAY better people than me. When the when you feel you're weak.
Whatever the reason, and I'll give you the reason in a second. When
you feel you're weak and feel like it make sure you do the
obligations. Hold on to the obligations. And when you feel you
are have a lot of energies. I have a lot of good connection. Do all
the extras. The reason my Eman gets weak? Why?
Why?
Why I'm not staying connected. Why there's one word here the only
study Arcada 20 of you have registered for the classes that
I'm starting next month you will learn this these are the basic of
my Deen my faith and yours which means my relationship and
connection which means my act of worship. This is how they are you
know your connection increase when I obey him
and decrease when I disobey Him, you turn on that phone, you go on
IG or tick tock or whatever, right? And you look at something
that's gonna bring you closer to Allah, your iman is strong, you
see your connection. And the opposite is true. Subhan Allah
last Saturday, Sunday, a two year old girl came to me. So huge was a
function came to me wearing amazing hijab.
And literally she is that I don't think even that thought
Can I interview you?
And then she said, I had my tick tock account.
And I put the standard content, eight year old.
And I said, Okay, let's see.
Literally, she came in here. I was signing books, and she put us
live. Look, Salam Alikum, eight year old Santa Monica wedding
Allah by a beautiful, very confident I literally I didn't
didn't have time to meet her mother. But I was like, who's your
mother said I'm an equal I am n and that she said where is she?
And as you can see next to me and she turned the phone. I was
laughing I was holding myself not to laugh. And as you can see, I am
with Victoria Haifa and she sang the book for me.
eight year old.
What made an eight year old come to a conference about pure heart.
So Iman increase so yes, how the Tick Tock app Snapchat, have
whatever you want to have. But make sure everything you're
posting, reading, sharing, following liking is going to be a
reason for you to wake up for Fajr
to feel it, to read the Quran, because the opposite is this. Was
it now muda they wanted to be close to Allah, Allah. And now the
next one. What Roboto now Allah Allah will be
a robot tuna, literally Thai, and the Arabic language you say I tie
anything you tie is robbed, that Allah tie their heart.
Right? That's the word. Don't you all read it every Friday. One
night as if I have the first time you've ever heard this surah if I
have a mirror here, you can see her faces. Right? What is tie on
their heart?
Firm for what?
firm because they wanted to believe in Allah. And how the
biggest one they were willing to sacrifice for Allah. Allah made
their heart very strong.
Roberto now Allah could look like this how the eight year old that's
why I gave you the story is camo for Kalu publicly. We are we are
sometimes May Allah forgive me shy to say I'm a Muslim.
My name is Muhammad it becomes more. Yeah, it no more. Why? The
best that Allah created what they don't know it, tell them about
him.
Right Surah became Sierra. Why? Why? Because my heart needs to be
stronger or more. They said it's publicly, publicly. This is an F
tyrant king who said you are going to worship Allah and you're going
to worship these idols. And by the way, they were not friends, in
case you don't know. They didn't know each other. They came from
different parts of the city. But what gathered them together their
friendship based on obedience of Allah.
Everyone they met outside our Subhanallah I was reflecting on
this. They met outside the city. They didn't know why they left and
they were scared from each other.
Should we because while you're out there, we're thinking, should we
say should we not? Right? They said it or about narla KHUDOBIN is
called MUFA CalU or Abouna. Ragusa malati we'll learn Nadeau when
you're strong and you're not afraid of any human being. You're
only afraid of Allah subhanaw taala we are not going to worship
anything but Allah
Nakata Kulina isn't Shut up or how dare we say this? This is how they
said it. How dare we say or we call upon anyone but Allah. How
would our commoner you're talking about 16 and 17
and everybody else was different. Go out and walk on the streets.
Most people are different. Right? Do we do we say to ourselves,
we're not looking down at them? No, but do we say we are
different? That's exactly what they said. How would I call Munna
those are our people? How would I if
they chose to worship other than Allah
don't they? Do you want do they want us to do the same?
bringing me proof? Young people, Lola tuna, Ali him BISAZZA. Bring
us a proof. And then we will believe you will on you if you're
a liar.
What faith they have these young people
what faith they have, that your faith is not words. And your
faith, by the way is not 9pm And Ramadan.
Or you're going to do the steep over I call it RT cough and the
Masjid.
Everybody else is doing it. It's sort of Milan, you're having fun.
You're eating. There's nothing wrong with that, by the way. But
that's not the test. The test when you're the only 16 year old
standing up there and Fajr alone.
Or when you are the only 15 year old in this 500 Students school
and you're the only one wearing your hijab, or you're the only one
fasting or the only one you're going to say it's Lahore time, I'm
going to go and pray, let alone please forgive me, but we didn't
need to be honest. You're the only one who doesn't disobey Allah. And
I don't want to say everything else. I'm the only one who doesn't
drink. I'm the only one who doesn't vape I'm the only one who
doesn't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Not for any reason
other than Robert Nanda Karoubi.
Thus the faith, that's the real faith, take it to the older age
group, and the only one who doesn't backbite I'm the only one
who doesn't look down at people, and the only one who doesn't think
I am better than anybody else. I'm the only one who Salah is way more
important than people and the list is long.
How many of us are the fit? Yeah.
That we stand up for Allah. And we are not shy, let alone ashamed.
Let alone I want to be like everybody else. I say this to
myself, why don't they become like a curse?
Why? Why do you want to be like everybody else? Why they are not
like us?
Subhanallah we that desire to move now the order came from Allah,
they were talking between them? What should we do?
And they said, You know what, and this is the number one factor that
keeps you strong is in this verse with that deserve to move on my
Abu dunya and Allah stay away from them.
And what they are doing, they talk between each other, what should we
do?
Leave You know what they left, they left their home. They left
their family, they left their wealth. And they left with their
life only exactly what Rasul Allah saw it was surrounded, and when
many people did, and look at us and the comfort of the comfort
and we are so scared to say I'm all Muslim,
let alone pray in public. Or say I'm fasting. I know people say Oh,
I'm on a diet I'm not gonna eat. Or am Allah
Subhana Allah
subhanaw taala Well, that is to move on Maya buena. Illa. Allah,
whoo, either calf. Fat Whoo, another word, meaning you're gonna
find peace.
Nothing is going to happen to. It's only this happens. When I am
really connected with Allah and I'm sacrificing for Allah, I'm
gonna end up here. Because I want you to take with you home the
following
age is not an issue whatsoever. Just stay strong and get connected
with Allah, connecting with Allah that he respond to your draft on
the spot doesn't come. Just because my name is this or my
family is that or the way I look? It comes when you struggle for the
sake of Allah. Only, not for anybody else, even not for your
parents, you would do it for your parents because that's pleasing to
Allah.
Number three, you will take that journey, take the first step, just
take the first step. And the tests are going to come. But you're
going to continue like what they did continue and see what Allah
will give you.
It see what Allah will give you next week we will go into the
miracles and what happens happen to them. Why we are not allowed
curve.
Why we are not that young people or Muslims in general, that we are
willing to sacrifice for the sake of Allah, ye one word.
Now Now I'm going to connect you with the verse he says he's Allah
put before the story, it's because of this dunya
it's because of this dunya and I want to enjoy and I don't want to
be different. And when I have fun, I am not that those assets curve.
And that's why Allah says fine, but this dunya is nothing and it's
going to become anxious. May Allah subhanaw taala make us among those
who listen to the word of
admonition and may Allah Subhana Allah make it easy for us to
follow to stay strong. It's easy to speak but it is not easy to
practice but it is not impossible. hamdulillah rabanne, your
beautiful community here, if everybody helps everybody to
worship Allah then we will have 1000s of Alkaff not few of them
