Haifaa Younis – Worry About Yourself

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

Day of Judgment.

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

Imagine this scene.

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

It's very scary.

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

That scene, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

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

all protect us and make it easy for

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

us.

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

We are here, each one of us individually.

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

That's not all of us.

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

So you cannot help me.

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

I can't help you.

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

Here I am alone in front of Allah,

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

and he said, oh, okay.

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

So you took your beauty more important than

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

me.

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

Call your beauty.

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

You took your son, your daughter, this person

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

or that person, put him number one over

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

me.

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

Call him.

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

وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُنَا دُوْ شُرَكَئِيَةٌۢ Here, of course, this

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

is for the people who really worship other

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

than Allah.

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

But we worship Allah alone, but we worship

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

small g's.

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

As one of my teachers, he always used

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

to call it small g, not the capital

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

G.

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

A small one.

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

Then why do we disobey Allah?

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

Why do I not pray five times a

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

day?

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

Why do I say this or that, dress

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

this or that?

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

Why?

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

Because I don't blame it on shaytan.

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

Because I like it.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

I want to be like everybody.

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

Why do I want to be different?

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

And then shaytan plays on that.

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

And by the way, each one of us

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

have their own shaytan.

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

And then and there is shayateen al-ins

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

wal-jinn, small shayateen also.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

But why some people, their shaytan is stronger

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

than the others.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

They all have power.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

Why one is more stronger than the other?

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

I give the opportunity.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

It's exactly like when you say to your

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

children, why your friend didn't do that and

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

you did that?

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

Why?

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

Your friend is stronger.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

That's the same way.

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

Because he's going to whisper the same way

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

in all of us, in all our ears.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

Same.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

But some people have the medicine ready.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

And what is the medicine?

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

Number one is dhikr.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

Dhikr of Allah.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

If you're always in dhikr of Allah, I'm

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

not saying dhikr of Allah, you memorize all

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

the dhikr.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

He's always in your mind.

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

Are you happy with me?

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

Allah, make it easy.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

Ya Rabbi, I'm going to fear.

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

Ya Allah, make me stronger.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

This is all dhikr.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

Then he said, fa ya'uma yaqulu na'du

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

shuraka'i lathina za'amtum You said, there

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

is other than me.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:11

Bring them.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

fa da'awuhum falam yastajeebu lahum They called

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

them.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

No one will answer.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

The friend who was going to tell you,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

don't do that.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

Well, this is we are living in the

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

in the West.

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

We are living wherever.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

And this is to 2024.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

That friend will not answer when I say,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

come and help me.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

Or if I was the person, whoever I

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

lured, may Allah protect us all.

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

Then I will not be able to come

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

and help you.

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

Right?

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

Ya'uma yafirru almar'u min akhi, wa

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46

ummihi, wa abihi, wa sahibatihi, wa banihi.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:53

Even your children, spouse, parents, nobody, nafsi, nafsi,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

everyone will be worried about herself.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

So why not?

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

I'm worried about myself here.

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

And I'm thinking of my akhira, wa ra'

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

al-mujrimun al-nara fa thannu annahum muwa'ti

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

'uha wa lam yajidu anha masrifah And the,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

here Allah used al-mujrimun.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

Literally, it's the criminals.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

The criminals against what?

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

And the other name Allah frequently using because

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

of dhalimun.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

Those who have committed injustice.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

Injustice against what?

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

Themselves.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

When I do not obey Allah, I really

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

have, I want you all to entertain this

00:03:29 --> 00:03:29

thought.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

Don't worry about other people.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

When I do not obey Allah, I am

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

doing, I'm wronging myself.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

I'm not wronging anybody.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

Because I am the loser there.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

And when I obey Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

'ala, I may be benefiting somebody else, but

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

mainly I'm benefiting myself.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

Why?

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

Because the beautiful principle of this deen, la

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

taziru waziratun wizra ukhra.

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

Not a single soul will take the burden

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

of another.

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

And he said it to Fatima.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

Ya Fatima bint Muhammad, la ughni aanki min

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

Allahi shayya.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

Fatima, his daughter, he's a prophet.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

And he said about her, diya bid'atun

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

minni, she's part of me.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

Fatima, he looked at her and said, I

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

cannot, I cannot whatsoever help you.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

Ya Fatima, la ughni aanki min Allahi shayya.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

It doesn't matter your father is Muhammad, alayhi

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

salatu wassalam.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:22

It doesn't matter.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

It's not gonna help.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

His uncle didn't help.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

So, anytime, this is why we need some

00:04:31 --> 00:04:31

time with ourselves.

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

Just sit down and see, where are we

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

going?

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

Where are we in this life?

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

Where are we in this journey?

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

I don't know how much left, Allah knows.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

But where am I?

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

And where is my goal?

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

Where do I wanna be?

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

Wanna be in the best house in dunya?

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

Well, I wanna be in palace in akhirah.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

I wanna have this best neighbor?

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

Well, I went to Rasul, alayhi salatu wassalam,

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

my neighbor, that I have to work for.
