00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			This is
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			the Mubarak 27th night of Ramadan.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave us the sa'ada
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			and the happiness of being able to reach
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			it. Allah gave us the tawfiq of being
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			able to reach it and for that we're
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			more indebted to him and we're more in
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			need of,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			his worship and his prayer
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			than a sinner is, or a drunk person
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			is, or a drug addict is, or a
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			thief is, or an adulterer is. They need
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			to
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			get themselves out of the hole they dug
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			themselves into through their sin,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			to escape punishment.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			We owe a debt to Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Ta'ala the more we pay it back.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			The more we try to pay it back,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			the more we struggle to pay it back,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			the more in debt we are.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			And so this is a great
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			Fadl and mercy from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:04
			that we've
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			been invited to his Mubarak house, and we've
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			been given good company, and we've been given
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			from every sort of risk,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			every sort of risk. There's food to eat.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			There's things to drink. There's a nice warm
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			place to stay inside. It's been very cold
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			in these parts. Chicago is about the same
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			temperature as Cleveland. Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, is
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			given from every good. Masha'Allah.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			And, we we gotta keep that way. We
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			gotta stay that way.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			These are a couple of reminders
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			for those good deeds that are going to
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			give you a lot of mileage.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			A person can start them in this night
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			and then make intentions to,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			keep with them for the coming year and
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			for the coming days of one's life.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			And even the intention, if the intention starts
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			in a Mubarak time and in a Mubarak
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			place,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			then it's hoped that the thing that starts
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			with good and that starts with baraka is
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			going to end with good and it's going
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			to end with baraka.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			It's It's gonna end with good, it's gonna
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			end with baraka, well,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			umurubil
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			sawatin. Just like the niyyah, the intention is
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			the starting of something and that is a
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			stamp on that deed that shows how it's
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			gonna end.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			Just like that, how the thing ends, umurubil
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			khalatim, all actions will be judged by the
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			way that they end.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			The way that they end also is a
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			sign of what the nature of that
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			deed or that thing is.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			So we have to, also be concerned with
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			how those things end.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			And one of the most important things one
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			of the most important things that a person
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			needs to focus on in their life. And
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			this is something very direct it's not just
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			like a random talk.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			It's very directly focused,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			on
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			what the point of this Ummah Centre is,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			this masjid that we're in here,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			which is I'm suspending the normal reading from
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			the madras, the, you know,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			for for the sake of an important message,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			for myself and for others.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			It's very relevant to why we're here. What
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			this place is, what it represents, what the
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			intentions, the ideas are behind it,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			which is that you have to
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			keep yourself
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			in good company. That's your choice, you have
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			to do it.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			Abliluk at the people around you, these are
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			the type of people who are
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			going to spend the night in the Masjid.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			In an era where spending the night in
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			the Masjid has been abandoned. Literally this year
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			even the Haramain Sharifayn didn't have a khatam
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			of the Quran.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			Of course we don't blame them for that.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			We accept that the reasons that they gave
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			that they're not doing it for are for
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			the welfare and health of people,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			Allah
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			knows what's in people's hearts and we have
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			no reason to,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			judge somebody when there's a reasonable excuse to
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			give them. But the fact of the matter
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			remains that still there's something Allah gave us
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			in this masjid, like which used to be
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			a church a couple of weeks ago in
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			Columbia Station.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			That even even in the Haramain Sharifain, it's
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			not it's not there.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Even in the Haramain Sharifain, it's not there.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			The Kaaba Mu'adhama,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			the tatsis of which was laid by
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			Sayna Ibrahim alaihis salam, Sayna Ismael
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			alaihis salam,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			That it's a holy and a sacred place.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			And the fina of the Kaaba, the the
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			the the the hallowed,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			area around the Kaaba,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			hundreds of prophets are buried there.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			The place that the where you make tawaf.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			The Anbiya alayhi wasalam whose aqwam were destroyed.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			They came there and they lived the rest
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			of their lives out in that place.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			There is almost no Nabi that came,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			except for he made Hajj of that house
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:42
			as well.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			To the point where the Mufasirun write that
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			Sayyidunu He
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			made hajj and made tawaf around the house
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			of Allah Ta'ala in the ark.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			And that Sayyidina Musa Alaihi Wasallam came and
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			made Hajj
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			around that tawaf around that house.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			What do you think they were doing for
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			40 years
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			in the wilderness? I remember I mentioned this
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			from time to time. Maybe you've heard it
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			from me before. There was a mustashnik, there
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			was an orientalist,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			professor,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			that I had in University of Washington. He
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			was very nice to me,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			and he actually mentioned this to me, but
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			he nobody's gonna accuse him of being a
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			Muslim. Definitely, if you took his class, you're
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			not gonna be under the impression that he,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			follows any, form of Islam that we recognize.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			But, he mentioned this to me. He said
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			this, he goes, I'll tell you 2 things.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			He goes, that one of the names of
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			the Mount Sinai in the Bible is Mount
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			Horab. He goes, if you look at all
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			of the references to Mount Horab in the
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32
			old,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			in in the old books, it's it's clear
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			that it's in Hijaz. It's not in the
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			Sinai Peninsula.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			And the second thing is this, he goes
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			he goes, when
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42
			the Mufassirun
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			write
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			that, said Musa
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			made Hajj of the house while Banu Israel
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			was wandering in the desert.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			He goes, it's not far fetched at all.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			He goes, it's literally it's very it's actually
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			not far fetched, it's very probable and possible
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			that in 40 years you can walk. It's
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			a very short distance to go from one
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			place to the other.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			That the what they write about, you know,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			that the
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			that you pass through in order to go
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			to where
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			the
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			took his mikat, you know, for Hajj and
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			for Umrah,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			that they say that that so many thousands
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			of Anbi took,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			took Ihram from this place.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			This is something that is not far fetched
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			at all. He says, I don't find it
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			far out of all of the things, he
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			goes, I don't find this thing to be
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			very far fetched.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			That place, that holy and sacred house, Tati,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam visited for whatever
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			reason this year Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			us the tawfiq to read the entire Quran
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			in this place.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:40
			And
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			those people didn't get that tawfiq. That Madina
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:43
			Munawwara
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:45
			Allah
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			gave it a greatness that nobody else is
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:48
			going to ever
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			be able to even aspire to. But in
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			this sense, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			something that they didn't have. This means something.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			Even the the the the dua.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			Right? I'll be honest with you. I was
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			like I was pretty near tap tapped out.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			It was a long dua You
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			know?
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			But the only thought that came to my
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			mind when like when I was getting to
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			that point
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:12
			was that Allah
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			Wa Ta'ala sent like a list of things
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			he wanted to give you,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			and you're tired of hearing what he wants
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			to give you and he's not tired of
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:20
			giving.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			Right? This is a, this is what our
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			mashaif tell us that when Allah puts the
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			dua in your heart,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			it's a sign that he wants to give
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			it to you.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			The fact that if he didn't want to
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			give it to you, he wouldn't have even
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			allowed you to ask.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			That's what you did Moshekh Musa and who
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			else? There's some people, Masha' Hafiz Ibrahim and,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			Baha'i Hussam and, like, Masha'Allah, some of the
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			people we went to visit the Haram Sharif
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			uncle, we went together, Junaid. We went to
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			visit the Haram Sharif together, Masha'Allah. In in
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			in,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			in the previous,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			times before I started wearing niqab, Masha'Allah, I
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			became more religious and started wearing my niqab.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			Niqab. But, you know,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			in those days we went and that's what
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			we would say. You see people walking around
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			with their, like, little Duaa books and they're,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			like,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			and they're yelling and screaming
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:09
			slogans
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			and this and that. And it's not, it's
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			not the sunnah, it's the sunnah in
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			The sunnah in Tawaf is that you make
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			dua, and there's no set dua for for
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			majority. Most you can say that the Rasulullah
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			used to read the dua
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			between the rukan and the Maqam
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			between the between the the the the the
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			the rukan Yamani and the black stone.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			Other than that it's it's just dua
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			and I I remember I went and asked
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			Sheikh Amin for dua one time before a
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			sufahr for Hajj or for Umrah
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			and, I asked him for du'a and for
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			advice.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			He says make du'a for whatever you
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			you, you you think of at that time
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:51
			Because
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			being there is a gift from Allah
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			and he puts Ilham in the hearts of
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			the people who are connected with him to
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			ask for the thing that you need.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			He puts Ilham in your heart to ask
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			for the things that you need at that
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			time. He sends you there because he wants
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			you to get what you want.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			So we're called into the court in order
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			to be presented with these gifts. Allah subhanahu
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			wa ta'ala doesn't tire of giving to us.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			Even if we tire of receiving, that's our
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			own weakness. But what is there? What do
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			you and me have to complain about? Allah
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			Ta'ala gave us this huge list of things
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			that He wanted to give us. Alhamdulillah, aamin,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			aamin, thumma aamin.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			Allah Ta'ala give to us again and again.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			Increase our istaa'ada,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			our ability to receive.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			Allah Ta'ala increase our ability to receive because
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			we're never gonna tap out his ability to
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:35
			give.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			So this is something to think about that
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			it's your duty and it's my duty to
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			keep good company.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			Good company doesn't just mean who you hang
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			out with once a month or once a
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:46
			week.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			Good company is the people you see when
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			you open your eyes in the morning, and
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			the people you see, you know, last before
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			you close your eyes in the evening.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			Good company means the best of the companies,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			the Ahlulah, the Ahlul Masajid,
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			the people of the Masjid are the people
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			of Allah Ta'ala. How are you gonna make
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			it to the Masjid 5 times a day
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			or even once a day, if you don't
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			live next to the Masjid?
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			We gotta think about, like, not going to
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			Masjid like church anymore.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			And that's one of the reasons that this
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			place we mentioned that was one of the
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			reasons that this place was attractive.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			How long have we been talking?
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			How long have we been talking about this
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:20
			idea?
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			Years before before I came to ICC. I
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			remember remember we all sat together, we put
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			together so many majalis. I put together even
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			a PowerPoint and like all that other stuff.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			Pleading with people, whoever takes this idea, it's
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			a good idea.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			That we have to live together. Right? The
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and his companions, they
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			made Hijra Madinah Munawara,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			so that they could live together, they could
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			live around the Masjid. The Masjid became the
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			focal point of their activities. Doesn't mean that
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			you can't have a barbecue. It doesn't mean
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			that you can't do all the other nice
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			things that people like doing, that I like
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			doing myself,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			that are not, you know, that are and
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			are pleasant. But the focal point of it
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			should be the house of Allah Ta'ala. Part
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			of it is what? You have to
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			you have to keep good company. You have
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			to keep the company of truthful people.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			One of the things that that that that's
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			unfortunate about the age we live in is
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			that there's a lot of platform given to
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			bogus people.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			Bogus people are the ones who
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			want to, keep subjecting to themselves subjecting themselves
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			to the things that will hurt them.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			They want to keep subjecting themselves to in
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			the speech that they speak, in the songs
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			that they listen to, in the way that
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			they show themselves, in the way that they're
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			seen, and the way that they show themselves
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			to you, in the way that you see
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:31
			them.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			Why do we traumatize ourselves with those things
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			again and again? You know it's bad for
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			you. I know it's bad for you. Stop
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			stop keeping that company.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			There are people who want to,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			feed you a
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			a vision of life,
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			which is a completely a tunnel vision that
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			doesn't benefit you at all. It just benefits
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			them. I know so many corporations. When a
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			person gets a corporate job, what will like
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			the big corporations, people like, oh, I'm gonna
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			work for this corp or that corp. I
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			don't wanna take names not necessarily because it's
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			a secret, but because I don't wanna say
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			one's more evil than the other. They're all
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			they're all evil.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			Why? Because even if they're the most ethical,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			humane, wokest corporation, what are they gonna do?
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			They're gonna say, well, we have this campus
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			and we're gonna
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			store your car at like, you know, 64.3
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:16
			degrees
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			and it's gonna be very comfortable and well
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			taken care of, and we're gonna wash it
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			every hour on the hour, and we're going
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			to, you know, you have the most ergonomic
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			chair to sit in, and the most, like,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			ergonomic type keyboard, and there's a fridge, and
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			you can have as much Coke and Pepsi
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			as you want. Oh, that's bad for you?
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			You can have as much organic,
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			double, triple certified, GMO,
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			fair trade, but then whatever,
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			you know, level 7,
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			you know, ambrosia drink, you know, that's like
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			all the new thing that cost $7 a
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			drink. We use a fridge full of them.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			You have as many of them as you
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			want. And when you wanna work out, there's
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			a gym on the campus, and when you
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			want a massage, you can have a free
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			massage. And when you want to have this,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			you can have this, you can have that,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			and then we have a retirement plan, we
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			have a pension plan, we have a vacation
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			plan, we have this plan, we have that
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:02
			plan.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			Basically what do they wanna do? They wanna
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			cocoon up your entire life.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			Cocoon up your entire life that you spend
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			as much time as possible
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			there,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			convincing you that your happiness is with them.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			And the fact of the matter is they
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			don't give a damn about you. If you
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			weren't making more money for them than they're
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			paying you, you and them would have nothing
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			to say to each other.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			They don't give it. It's literally all about
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			the bottom line. You know it, I know
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			it. It's not gashaka.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			You know, this shaykh is making things up.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			No. There are sheikhs that make stuff up,
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			maybe I'm one of them too, who knows?
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			But this is one of those things I'm
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			not making it up. You know it's not
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			it's not like a shock.
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			But still, we subject ourselves to the company
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			not only of those people who wanna like,
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			give us these kind of stupid dreams that
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			are in their benefit and not ours, and
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			we know it.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			We also wanna
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			keep company with other like stupid, like, rubes
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			who've like fallen for that
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			for that con.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			And this is part of what's really jarring
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			and disturbing about modern living. Modern not meaning
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			like 2,021, 2021,
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			modern meaning like philosophically modern living.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			Is that in old days even even people
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			who weren't religious,
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			forget about Muslims, even people who weren't religious,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			they understood that
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			their happiness came from their family.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			It was expected that a son would be
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			like his father, would look up to his
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:27
			father,
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			you know, father would do anything for his
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			son, for his daughters, his son would, you
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			know, the one person that he held in
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			most esteem more than anybody else in the
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			world is his father.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			Nowadays that type of relationship between father and
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			son is considered,
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			it's considered to be a type of oppression.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			So every Disney movie you've ever watched is
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:50
			reliably, predictably like clockwork. Go ahead and think
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			about it back in your head. It's always
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			about how a son doesn't want to be
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			like his father.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			Which okay, it does happen sometimes.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			But it's not all the time nor is
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			it nearly half of the time. It's a
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			very rare exception, it's not a rule.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			Think about this, what is the what is
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			the you know, who benefits from this? From
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			breaking the bonds between parents and children?
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			Who benefits from breaking the bonds between husband
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			and wife? Who benefits from breaking the bonds
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:19
			of family?
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			Family is a type of structure and authority.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			It's a necessity for efficiency
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			because life is rough, you know. Life in
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			the jungle is nasty, brutish, and short.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			So we need to protect each other, we
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			need to be there for each other, we
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			need to specialize in work so that we
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			can increase efficiency,
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			and we need to share those efficiencies with
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			one another, so that we don't spend all
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			of our day like foraging through the woods
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			for berries and
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			nuts, which is, there are some people who
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			still live like that.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			Admittedly few, but there are people in the
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			world who still live like that. Many of
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			them are cannibals by the way.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			So it's hard to get Hafsa certified
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			outlets in those places.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			Right? Is that you don't wanna live that
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			life. You don't wanna live that life. Why?
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			Because family is like something really important.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			And the dismemberment of the family, who benefits
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			from that? Well, what's the structure of efficiency
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			that's going to gain from you reorienting
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			your,
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			your lifestyle
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			away from a family? You could either go
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			back to the jungle which very few people
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			are
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			willing to do nowadays.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			Who's going to benefit from that that that
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			kind of that dismembering of the family? Like
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			if family is taken apart, like imagine,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			Kmart goes out of business because Walmart like
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			beat them out of business or whatever. So
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			they have a big closing sale, and then
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			who's gonna go buy from the Kmart all
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			the stuff that's left over at a discount,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			and who's gonna buy the Kmart building and
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			do something with it. Right? Like there's a
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			Kmart in in whatever, Parma, Brook Park, whatever
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			that's like halfway between your old apartment and
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			between ICC. Right? Who benefits from that?
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			Right? In that case, maybe Amu has like
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			some sort of cash and carrier gas station,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			whatever. He'll buy all the stuff that is
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			in his gas station, and he'll sell it
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			off at a discount, and somebody will buy
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			the building and open their own whatever. Somebody
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			will do this. Who benefits from all of
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			it? 2 groups benefit from it, the state
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			and and corporations,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			which is like, they are quasi state organizations.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			I have no problem with the state, the
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			state is necessary. It may be a necessary
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			evil, but it's still necessary because without the
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			state there is many mafasid, there are many
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			types of mischief that would occur in society
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			that, need to be avoided. So
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			that's fine, but one should realize what the
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			benefit of the state is, and what capacities
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			the state will overreach and become tyranny. The
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			state is good at
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			organizing defense from like invasions from other countries.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			It's good at like setting speed limits and
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			like,
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			like red light cameras. You know, people shouldn't
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			be running red lights. I've got a ticket
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			or 2 in my life, but I deserve
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			it. I just fess up and pay. You
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			know, I don't try to hire hire a
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			lawyer. I said, this is kind of bogus,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			I should have stopped,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:56
			right?
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			But the state, what they're not good at
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			is providing you with
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			human fulfillment as a replacement by family.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			The state is not good for good as
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			a family for you.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			Corporations are not good as a family for
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			you.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			These are such
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			foundational
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			foundational, like, realizations or understandings,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			and they are the understandings that made this
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			country great in the first place.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			They made this country great in the first
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			place that people used to have very strong
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:28
			families.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			You and me probably know people who we
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			went to school with, especially those of us
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			who grew up in this country
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			that were upright people.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			You know, that had strong I remember
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			the school I went to, there were several
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			children
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			that both of their parents were school teachers
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			in that school only and only because they
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			cared for their children so much that they
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			wanted to make sure that their children were
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			raised right. So they said, what is a
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			way that we can take care of our
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			children in the best way possible? They went
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			and became school teachers in the in the
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			in the school, and the the the year
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			that their children, their last child graduated from
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			from high school, all of them without exception,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			all quit and got real jobs.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			Intelligent people, Stanford graduates, these types of But
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			what was it? They lived in a time
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			where people didn't drink the Kool Aid of
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			like, this kind of, bogus and nonsense lifestyle
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			of believing that somehow like a corporation or
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			or the government is going to hand you
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			a check or that somehow if you, you
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			know, enough people will like, I don't know,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			whatever re TikTok you. I don't I don't
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			even know how it works. Uninstall it from
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			your phone right. It's like Chinese spyware. I
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			don't know why people have it. I don't
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			even know why people have Twitter and Facebook.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			This is like even
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			dumber than that, right?
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			They knew that that's not gonna that's not
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			gonna bring anything productive or healthy
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			to you.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			So they invested their time, and you know
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			what? All of those people, their children, some
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			of them were not even nice kids, some
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			of them were very spoiled, and I think
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			even immoral kids, but all of them were
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			very bright.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			And all of them, many of them actually
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			were morally upright, much more so than than
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			the average person in school.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			And many of them went on to become
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			very capable people, they went to Ivy League
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			Schools, they have positions in government, they have,
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			you know, the ones who went the corporate
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			route, they did really well at it.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			Now for me it's kind of sad to
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			see that all this human potential is wasted
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			that they're gonna In the end they're still
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			gonna be crushed into that same machine.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			They're gonna be sent into that same grinder.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			How are they supposed to know better? They
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			neither know Allah and His Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			Wasallam nor did their forefathers.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			You and me we know better.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			This talk that I'm giving right now, I've
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			not yet had to make reference any ayah
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			of the book of Allah
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			nor any hadith of the Prophet
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			But I'll tell you what the munasaba, the
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			connection of it with deen is.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			Is this that you have a very fundamental
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			understanding
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			that you cannot be a good alim, you
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			cannot be a good scholar until you learn
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			how to become a Muslim.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			You cannot be a scholar until you learn
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			how to become a Muslim.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			You can I know people like this, they've
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			literally memorized books of fiqh, they memorized books
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			of hadith, they memorized books of like memorized,
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:06
			memorized?
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			But still they don't have the tawfiht of
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			praying 20 raka'as. They can't do it. They
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			can't bring themselves to do it. How will
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			they understand what the meaning of that knowledge
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			is?
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			There are so many things I learned about
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			them in the books of fiqh, and then
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			afterward I thought like we should probably practice
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			them in under in order to understand what
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:24
			they know.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			Any masala fiqh, if you ask the faqih
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			who can umaboo platter
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			prattle off like a lot of details about
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			it, versus somebody who's actually been through that
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			experience before, the person who's been through that
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			experience before will always have more insight.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			In order to be a good scholar, you
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			have to first learn how to be a
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			good Muslim.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			In order to be a good Muslim, you
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			have to first learn how to be a
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			good human being.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			You cannot be a good human being alone.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			You have to have family.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			I mean you can. There are people like
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			if someone was like born and raised like
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			in the jungle by wolves or whatever and
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			then they came back into the,
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			you know, into civilization, and Hussam taught him,
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			like, I, Hussam,
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:06
			you,
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:07
			you know,
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			wolf boy. He says, wolf boy, want food.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			You know, like, and then later on, like,
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			2 10 years later, he's, like, you know,
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			comes to the masjid. Yes. There you can't
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			okay. He's learned how to be a human
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			being.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			Now, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala opens the door
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			for him to have spiritual awakening that he's
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			not gonna have when he's like busy like
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			fighting over a piece of meat with the
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			other wolves.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			Allah ta'ala says that, He says, Quraysh, look
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			at you out of all the out of
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			all the
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			Arabs. Out of all the Arabs,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			there are Bedouins that walk from place to
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			place not knowing if they're gonna find a
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			well with water in it.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			Not knowing if they're gonna find even just
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			a little bit of shrubbery so that their
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			herds don't die.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51
			Right?
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:56
			There are people who are getting picked off
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			and destroyed
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			because of scarcity, because of war, because of
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			all things all around them. And they're the
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			ones that sit in their own
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07
			and there's nothing will grow there. You couldn't
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			grow anything there even if you have all
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			the water in the world, you couldn't grow
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			any. You pour zam all over, you can't
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			grow anything. That land is like salt, it's
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			Nothing will grow in it.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			Yet they sit in that place and the
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			entire All the tribes of the Arabs would
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:22
			bring
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			rizq to them. And then after
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Wa Salam's Mubarak Be'ath Mashal, literally
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			all the nations of the world bring Azzaq
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:30
			to them.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			Allah ta'ala is trying to tell them. We
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			read that in the juz'amma tonight, right? Masha'Allah
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			Tafsir desert Masha'Allah for Sheikh Musa. Masha'Allah from
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			Sheikh Musa.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			Allah
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			to ask Let them actually worship the Lord
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			of this house.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			The The one
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			who fed them when they were hungry. And
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			fed them from so that they don't have
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			to worry about hunger anymore.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:23:59
			And the one
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			who gave them security from fear. That they
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			don't have to worry The
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			people of the Kaaba, you know. People don't
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			come to the Kaaba to make war. People
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			come to the Kaaba to make peace.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			People don't come to the Kaaba to hate.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			People Lovers come to the Kaaba.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			People go make dua for the house of
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			Allah and it's like it's like a wedding
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			in Lahore Mashallah. They're like pouring
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			like like real notes to the left and
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:24
			right, giving
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			street sweepers and cleaners and, you know, so
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			the guy the Bangali shopkeeper is smoking cigarettes,
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			someone will give him 20 riyals. Radi, when
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			he went with us to,
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:35
			Umrah.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			He's not here so we can, you know,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			he's also mazook.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			Accept for him. He's giving out 10 rial
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			notes to everybody. He gave a 10 rial
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			note
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			to the the Jawazat guy, like, on the
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			way out of the airport,
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			and,
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			the Jawazat guy, he literally he like he
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			he he did it he's like what is
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			this guy, crazy? Like, he points to the
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			camera. I don't think he knew he was
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			an Arab. Right? So he points to the
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			camera that there's a camera watching us. He
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			points to it and he he he wags
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			his finger like no. He points to the
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			camera and he goes like he made a
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			Ishaa'a'a, like they're gonna take us both to
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			jail if if you do this, you know,
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			again.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			Radi muskim, like, he's just he's just people
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			come. They're, like, so happy. They're just like
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			it's like this is how, you know, it's
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			a wedding in Punjab. There's people throw money
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			all over the place. Right? Why? That's what
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			people come for.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			So after after Allah gave you all of
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			that, then just like, you know, it's your
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			duty to, like, worship Allah
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			Allah and to, like, think about bigger things
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:30
			than other people. Or thinking about
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			if you're so insecure that you think nobody
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			loves you, that you have to get the
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			reassurance from, like, you know, like, whatever, 15
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			likes on Twitter,
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			then go ahead, you know, like patch up
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			your broken self, you know. When you're done
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			with that, when you're ready to be a
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			human being,
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			I don't think it's gonna help you patch
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			up. I think it's gonna actually make it
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			even the hurt and the brokenness even go
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			deeper. But if that's what you need, go
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			ahead.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			When you're done and you're ready to be
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			a normal human being, it's enough for you
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			to say to your father, to your mother,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			I love you. To your children, I love
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			you. To your wife, to your husband, I
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			love you.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			To your friends, to the people in the
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:06
			masjid.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			If you have none of those Some people
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			have none of them. There are people entire
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			people lost their entire family. I met people
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			like that. Their entire The earthquake that happened
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:18
			in Balakot in in in, Pakistan 2005.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			There are people, their entire village was swallowed
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			up. Only 1, 2, 3, 4 people survived
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:24
			from that.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:29
			They literally lost everybody that they knew. They
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			live in a new place, they'll never see
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			their home again, all in a moment, gone.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			You can always tell Allah to Allah, I
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:36
			love you.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			It's kind of awkward when you say it
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			like that, but that's the thing. You you
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			you can say it in how many ways
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			you can say it?
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			The house of Allah, always a place that
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			you can have that love. How are you
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			gonna know what that even means if you
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			never loved your mother, if you never loved
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:52
			your father?
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			If you I mean you can learn those
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			things if you're in that circumstance.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			But the normal easiest route to learn those
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			things is what is to have that model
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			inside of your family. If that dynamic isn't
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			there, something is very wrong. If you sold
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			that dynamic in order to get a job
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			at some corporation or in order to, you
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			know, watch some more TV or in order
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			to buy a, like, a fancier phone or
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			in order to, you know, do any of
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			those, you know, those types of things, boy,
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			like, someone sold you, like, some bad goods.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			Right?
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			The day of judgment is described as the
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			It was one of the surahs we read
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:29
			last night.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			Is what?
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			Is like when somebody sells you something, you
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			think it's one thing and it's the it's
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			really the other. You bought like a new
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			pair of like wrap around like Oakley
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:42
			glasses for like $300 at the whatever at
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			the mall, like the Ray Ban store or
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			whatever. And you got home and you noticed
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			that they're not Oakleys, they're Jokleys.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			Like we used to get from the Redondo
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			Beach swap meet, you know?
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			Or Tijuana, man. Mashallah, you're already there, right?
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			You swap meat city, Mashallah.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			That's like the Makkah of like swap meats.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			You get home and you paid the Oakley
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			price and you got the Jokley product, you'll
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			be like this is a rip off and
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			you can't it's too late, you can't get
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			your money back.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			That's the point of projects like this, is
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			that every group of believers, it's a farlkifa'ah,
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			that you should get together with other people,
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			build your houses next to each other, live
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			next to each other, pray with one another,
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			make friends with one another, invite one another
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			to your houses, forgive one another when you
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			do bogus stuff to each other.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			And the best forgiveness is not the one
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			that like the person comes and says I'm
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			sorry. If someone ever says I'm sorry to
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			you, you should forgive them. The fact that
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			they even bothered to say I'm sorry is
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			like means that this person is like walliy
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			of Allah ta'ala. The willayah has different darajat.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			Obviously the highest darajat are the people who
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			are not gonna
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			be bogus with one another in the first
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44
			place. But trust me, if someone has enough
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			like moral courage inside themselves to say sorry
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			to you,
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			chances are that that person is already like
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			above the 85th percentile.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			You're not gonna find people like that easily.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			It's really it's not even human to to
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			to not forgive someone if they actually come
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			and say sorry to you.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			The forgiveness of the sunnah is to forgive
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			the people who don't say I'm sorry.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			For what? For a higher benefit. Because your
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			goal is not to
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			is not to ingratiate other people and be
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			like, okay, like I'm like I have to
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			get you into Jannah. You say sorry more
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			for your own success than you do for
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			theirs.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			Why? Because we have to be with no
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			matter how bogus the people in this room
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			are, this is who this is who we
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:25
			got. You're not gonna go on
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			Yomu Kiama and look for a representative Jim
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			Jordan to get you into Jannah. It's not
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			it's not gonna that's not gonna those people
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			are not helpful.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			Government people, corporate people,
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			Elon Musk is not gonna help you get
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:39
			into Jannah.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			Unless there's a very dramatic turn of events
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			in the future, but currently as it seems,
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			it's probably not where you're gonna look for
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			if you have if you have any sense
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			about you right now.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:53
			You're not gonna what's what's this other guy?
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:54
			What's this,
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			you know, Bill Gates and
		
00:29:57 --> 00:30:01
			the the other Jeff Bezos and their, masha'Allah,
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			recently wealthy ex wives. Dude, you gotta hit
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			if what's his name? Bezos' ex wife has
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			any sign, you gotta hit up Melinda Gates.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			She's she has some money to
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			to put out. You know, Uma Sinner might
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			Yeah, man. Some of that vaccine money or
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			something. I don't know. Just look into it.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:17
			Right?
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			Those are not people you're gonna you're not
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			gonna get anything from those people, like, on
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			that day, like the way it is right
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			now. Even if they convert to Islam and
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			things like that, you know. There are certain
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			people you're gonna get something from. You forgive
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			each other. It's good for you. If somebody
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			is a jerk to you, still who are
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			you gonna Are you gonna marry your children
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			to
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			their children or are you gonna marry your
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			children to each other's children in this room?
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			Nobody wants to think about why can't it's
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			like it's like a villager type of thing
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			to think about, like who are my children
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			gonna marry, right? We're with America. We're gonna
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			become professionals and we're gonna make money. We
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			don't have to worry about those things anymore,
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			right? Because it's really easy to like go
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			through those things because that's not a big
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			deal. As long as you get into Harvard,
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			the fact that you end up with a
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			spouse that completely makes your life into a
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			living *. Male or female. Right?
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			That's not a big deal. We can overcome
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			that as long as we have degrees and
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			money. Right?
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			I'm not saying don't get degrees, don't get
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			money. I have degrees and money myself, Masha'Allah.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			But I'm just saying that that's one thing,
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			this is another thing, this is another issue,
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17
			it's another problem that requires a solution. I
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			promise you if you're poor, I've seen poor
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:21
			people with families that are, like, stable, you're
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			a lot better off if you're a poor
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			person with a family that's stable than you
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			are as
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			a wealthy person who's, you know, all their
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:29
			human,
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			interactions are so completely shattered and jagged
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:36
			that, you know, you cannot get through any,
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			you know, any day without like so many
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			different types of pills.
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			I apologize if I'm saying this in a
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			bad way, maybe I should like be more
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			sensitive about it. Because some of us in
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			this room are in that position right now,
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			or have been in that position at some
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			time, and I don't say that in order
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:50
			to,
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			discount or mock or make because I've seen
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			that happen. It's pain, you know.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			And then you're like, shoot, there needs to
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:57
			be a better way of getting through life
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			than this. Some people, it's not their choice.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:01
			We ask a lot to help them, and
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			we we we fully, 100%
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			appreciate the work that the doctors do with
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:08
			them, and we appreciate the the services that
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			that that they benefit from and say that
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			this is something that needs to,
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:15
			you know, happen for those people. But every
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:15
			person knows
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			better than having the top cardiac surgeon,
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			do your 7 bypasses in the world is
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			perhaps maybe 10 years earlier if you started
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			taking a walk, you know, once every 3
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			days and stop eating 7 cheeseburgers
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:29
			and a 2 liter of Coke daily, that
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			may have been a better
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			solution to this than saying Alhamdulillah, Masha'Allah, like
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36
			the top surgeon in the Mayo Clinic or
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			the Cleveland Clinic, I'm sorry, has,
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			you know, done my 7 bypasses. And Alhamdulillah,
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:42
			Masha'Allah. I have this, like, new artificial heart
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			that doesn't have a beat. It's pretty cool.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:47
			You wanna see it, you know, like Alhamdulillah.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			Those people who got it, it's a Ni'mah,
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:50
			it's a blessing. We thank Allah for it.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			But you you should see why one is
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:55
			a more common sense solution than the other.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			So, this is a time these things require
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			a lot of help, there's a lot of
		
00:32:59 --> 00:32:59
			like
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			machinery in society stacked against you ever thinking
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			about these things.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06
			Why? Because if you're happy with your family,
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			and you're happy in your neighborhood with your
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			neighbors, and if you're happy with one another,
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			and if the salat is the coolness of
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:13
			your eye, you may not buy an iPhone
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			every year.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			You may not buy a new car every
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			3 years or 4 years.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:21
			You may not, you know, you know, spend
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:23
			$10 a month on Amazon Prime or how
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			much is it? It's more that they upped
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			it. Right? $16
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			a month on Amazon Prime, and you might
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:32
			not spend $25 on Netflix a month, and
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			you might not spend however much the the
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37
			nice Verizon or ghetto people like me, T
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			Mobile, you know, their their their unlimited plan.
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			You might not you may stop spending money
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			on those things a year and you really
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			don't need it anymore. Like, one thing is,
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			like, oh, I'm gonna cut back and be
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			a real, like, Zahed, you know, I'm gonna
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:49
			be real like, do without the dunya. One
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:50
			thing is, like, you realize you've been paying
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51
			for this thing for like years and you
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:52
			just haven't been using it because you just
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			don't want don't want it anymore. You just
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			realize it means nothing to you.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			That instead of having to binge watch like
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			some, you know, weird obscene,
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			Netflix special about like, you know, oh, look
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			at this child and her 4 dads, or
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08
			whatever, right? Instead of having to binge watch
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:08
			those series,
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10
			you actually have a child and they come
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			home and say, oh, Baba, I love you.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13
			And you're like, okay, it's time to go
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:14
			to Maktab and you go with them to
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			Maktab, and you walk with them and you
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:17
			walk home and that's it.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			How many times? You guys all know, you
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			know my temperament and disposition. I've never been
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			one to try to like
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			she you know, project some sort of public
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29
			persona of whatever.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			You know me, I get upset about things.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			I get upset about a lot of things
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			and I work with people who do things
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			that justifiably upset me about stuff. So what
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39
			about the people who unjustifiably upset me about
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:39
			things?
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:42
			All of the stress that I have to
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			deal with, all of the difficulty that I
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			have to deal with.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			I come home if my children give me
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48
			a hug and say, I love you to
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			me. All of it is gone.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:53
			All of it is gone like that. And
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:54
			all of you know what that is, know
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			what it means. Yet, yet, there are people
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			in this very room,
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:01
			it's very possible if they make slightly different
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:01
			decisions,
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:04
			that they may work so many more hours
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			at their job,
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			just in order to pay off the house,
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			just in order to pay for going on
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:10
			a trip every year, just in order to
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:13
			this, in order to that, they will miss
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			that small window of time in their the
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:17
			lives of their children, in the life of
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:19
			their marriages, in the life of their relationships
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			with their parents because your parents not gonna
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21
			be around forever either.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			That small window in your relationship with those
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27
			people that you take for granted and think
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			will be like that forever, you'll miss that
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			window and then
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			the the the the bird will be out
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:33
			of your hand.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			Because your kids look at these this chotu
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			is like sleeping on the carpet in the
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:40
			back. See that, everyone say, See? He's like
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			he's like, oh, Mando, look at me. Right?
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:44
			At this age,
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:45
			at this
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:48
			age, you can wake him up for fajr.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			You can throw water in his face.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:52
			You can be like, if you don't go
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			to Fajr, you're not gonna get candy, you're
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			not gonna get gum, you're not gonna go
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			to the park, you're not gonna this, you're
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			not gonna that, And he'll get up.
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:01
			And if you do it like that for
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			like 4 5 months, it'll become a habit.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			Later on, he might choose to abandon it.
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			Allah protect him and protect all of us.
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:10
			But
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			if he chooses to not abandon it, it
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			will be easy for him to take the
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			path of righteousness. You will have made it
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:17
			easy for him. Or you can let him
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			sleep through the fajr.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:20
			And when he's 18, you're gonna be, by
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			the way, you know your balayr, you know,
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			you kinda should've been praying for the last
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:25
			3 years. So you have to make up
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:26
			tada. Forget about tada. He's not even gonna
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			wake up for fajr tomorrow. Even if he
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			hears a Bayan Sheikh Musa, like, route the
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			whole crowd and everyone's crying and the khatamdua
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34
			and everything. And he wants to wake up
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			for Fajr in the morning. How is he
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			gonna do the do do that?
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:40
			It's like an extraordinary type of mujahideh. I
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42
			remember when I first started waking up for
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			Fajr. Forget about, you know, like forget about
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			praying 2 sunnahs, people like pray 2 sunnahs
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:48
			before Fajr. Are you joking? Are you kidding
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			me? I'm gonna pray sunnahs, but you were
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			lucky I made a prayer Fajr, man. You're
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			lucky at me, you're making
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:54
			at this point.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:57
			I couldn't even I couldn't even I couldn't
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			even read the fatah out loud if you
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			wanted me to at that time.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:04
			14, I started wake waking up for I
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			couldn't even read the out loud if I
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			wanted to at that time. I must have
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:10
			been 19 or 20 before. Be be brutally
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			honest with you. Even though
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			as a Farihin, as a person who talks
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:15
			a really big game as far as like
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:18
			Dean is concerned, I know how shameful it
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			is. It's it's shameful.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:22
			I must have been at least 19 or
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:24
			20 before I seriously considered the possibility of
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			forget about even going to the masjid. Seriously,
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			even consider the possibility that, like, I'm gonna
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			pray 2 rak'ahs that I don't have have
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			to have to pray before Fajr.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34
			It's hard.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			If you don't have those habits from before
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			but now it's just a habit.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			Now it's one of those even if the
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:41
			alarm doesn't go off, I'm gonna end up
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:43
			waking maybe waking up 10, 15 minutes after
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:45
			the sun rises at maximum because the body
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			is not able to sleep at that time
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:47
			because it's a habit.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			If you give that to your, you know,
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			there's a limited window that you can do
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			those things in every relationship. Every relationship is
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			not gonna be like parents and children.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:59
			But there's a relationship, you have a window
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:00
			of certain things that you can cultivate with
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:01
			your parents.
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			With your parents it's the other way around,
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			that there are certain bonds that you can
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:06
			make with them later in life if Allah
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:09
			gives them the He gives you both Tawfiqah
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:11
			being together with them. That they wouldn't have
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:12
			listened to you when they were younger, but
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			when they need you they're gonna they're You
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:15
			can show them certain types of kindness you
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:17
			weren't able to because of your weakness and
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:19
			because of their strength at that time.
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21
			You have to spend that time because you
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23
			can't get it at any other time, you
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			definitely can't get it after they pass from
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:25
			this world.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27
			Your children, when they're little, you have to
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			spend that time with them, and your kids
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			are not there for you to be friends
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31
			with them. For God's sake, stop trying to
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:33
			be friends with your kids. You're not cool,
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			you're not gonna be cool, dad.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37
			They should love you but they're not they
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:39
			have their own friends, other little kids. Don't
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			be like a loser that like, you're trying
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:41
			to like relive your,
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			middle school that no one would talk to
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			you so now I'm gonna talk to my
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			kid. That's don't do that.
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47
			They don't need you to be their your
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			friends. They need you to be their parents.
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53
			But there's only a limited amount of time
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			that they're gonna listen to you because this
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			masa 8, 9, 10, 11 is gonna turn
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59
			into like 17, 18, it's gonna turn into
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00
			23.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			They're gonna go to MSA, they're gonna go
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04
			to school, they're gonna learn what paradigm and
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			narrative means, and they're not gonna wanna listen
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:07
			to anything from you anymore, and the chance
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			you had to make that quality connection is
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			gonna be gone.
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13
			Why should everyone have to fight the uphill
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:16
			battle? Fight the uphill battle alone, where we
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:17
			can all do it together.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			You and me, we all know we're gonna
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:22
			go to Yom Kiyama one day.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25
			These are literally those basic things that we're
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			gonna get judged on.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:31
			And as smooth talking as you know, Hussam
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33
			is, and as smooth talking as Sheikh Musa
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:34
			is, and as Masha'
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:36
			Tech and
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:40
			multimedia and social media savvy as Atiyah is,
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			you're not gonna fight against like government and
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:43
			corporations.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:48
			After the French revolution and after like
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:49
			Nazi Germany,
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:52
			basically there are 2 big boosts that change
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:54
			the way world governments work. Basically all the
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:57
			world governments realize nazis are up to something,
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			on to something good. So they fight against
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			them because nobody wanted to be ruled by
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:03
			Germans or whatever, but like then after they're
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:05
			like, we gotta become like them, otherwise we're
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:07
			gonna go out of we're gonna get become
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			extinct. And there's a new wave of this
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:11
			happening right now. Look at the way China
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			runs its government, look at repressive governments from
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15
			the muslim world. How they're using technology, how
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			they're using data, how they're using all these
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			things in order to completely have an iron
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			grip, make society like a prison.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:24
			Never in the history of humanity has such
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:26
			a small group of people been able to
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:29
			completely restrain, like animals and leashes and chains,
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			restrain such large groups of people.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:34
			If you plug into that system, you see
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:36
			that it's literally like human beings are being
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			fed into
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			a slaughterhouse, that there's cows going into a
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			building, and boxes of ground of coming out,
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:44
			of ground beef coming out of the building.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:45
			Put 2 and 2 together, you don't wanna
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:46
			be in that line.
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:48
			You don't wanna be in that line. You
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			don't have to boycott modernity in order to
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:52
			do that. You just make a couple of
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:55
			very small steps, build your houses together, tell
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			your kids instead of having insta minsta, we're
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			gonna just have a real barbecue. Would you
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			rather see someone else a picture of someone
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			else's dinner, or we can have the dinner
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:02
			ourselves, inshallah.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			You can't do it alone. You can't do
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			it every single time alone. So you pool
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			your resources in order to in order to
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			do it, you know, with some sort of
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:12
			efficiency. Because at some point or another, other
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:15
			people have to, you know, people have to
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			go to work, and earn a living, and
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:17
			do all of these things.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:19
			If we do it together we have a
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			lot it'll be a lot easier, it'll be
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23
			a lot more fill fulfilling. Alata will be
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24
			more pleased with us,
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			because deen is not supposed to make you
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			into some sort of spiritual warlord that like,
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30
			I'm like the pious guy, and to *
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			with the rest of society, I'm gonna be
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			the last man on the hill standing.
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			People have that mentality. Those people, they they're
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:37
			designed for defeat.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			Success happens what?
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he says that, you
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:45
			know, that that that you know when the
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:47
			companions radhiyallahu would put their hands together
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:49
			to take bay'a with the prophet
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			to give the oath of allegiance.
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52
			The only thing I can think of from
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			my life that resembles that is like after
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56
			like or like before a sports match some
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			sort, where 1, 2, 3 team. Right?
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:02
			The expression is what?
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:03
			Allah's hand is
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:13
			that we don't mean that Allah it's not
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			a it doesn't mean that Allah has a
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:16
			body or something like that.
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18
			The Arabs understood exactly what this meant.
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:20
			What does it
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			mean? That when you take your hands, and
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			you put cast your hands in together, you
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			cast your lot together,
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			then who's with you in that pledge? Who's
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:29
			with you in that covenant?
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:30
			Allah.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:33
			Now, theoretical, I know we're not you know
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			people they accuse the Ashayra and the Maturidi
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:39
			of speculating about Allah ta'ala and, that's a
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			bad thing. It is a bad thing, so
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:41
			we're gonna go out on on a limb
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:43
			here. If somebody wants to use this against
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:44
			me later, it's gonna be recorded and you
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46
			can splice this out inshallah, use it against
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:47
			me.
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:49
			Theoretically speaking, if there was a sports match
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			between 2 teams, you know, Allah Ta'ala was
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:54
			on one team and the other team didn't
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:55
			have Allah on it.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:58
			Which team is gonna win?
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:02
			I'll tell you it's actually not speculation, it's
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:03
			the nasa the Quran.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:12
			No, indeed. The party that's with Allah,
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15
			they're the ones who will be the overwhelming
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:16
			victors.
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			They're the ones who are going to achieve
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:21
			success. They're the ones who are gonna achieve
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:21
			happiness.
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:24
			They're going to be the ones that achieve
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:24
			felicitousness.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:25
			And
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:29
			Allah
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:33
			covenant is with who? The ones who make
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:34
			covenant with
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35
			one another.
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			So it's great rugged individuality,
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:38
			you know.
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:42
			God bless America. Alhamdulillah. You're all individuals. Don't
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:44
			let anyone else take your guns away ever.
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:46
			No one Don't let anyone else you know
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:49
			take away your rights. You know, hamdulillah, masha'Allah.
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:52
			Out of my cold dead hands, etcetera, ad
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:54
			nauseam. All that stuff's great. Wonderful.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:57
			And
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:01
			you have your rugged individualism, and you're gonna
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			be a maverick and all that other jazz.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:04
			That's fine. Within reason, it's it's cool. It's
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:05
			okay.
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:08
			But don't be so individualist
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:09
			that the Rasulullah
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:11
			alaihi wasallam,
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:13
			he mentioned that, don't stray far from the
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:15
			jama'a. Why? Because
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			the wolf always eats the the sheep that
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:19
			strays far from the flock, which is true.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:22
			If there's a flock of sheep, domesticated
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			or or wild,
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26
			rams or something like that.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			If the wolf attacks the flock, what will
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:29
			happen? A ram, if it's charging at full
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:31
			speed with horns and things like that,
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:33
			it can really it can, you know, 2
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			or 3 of them if they butt that
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:38
			that that that, wolf, they can mess it
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			up pretty bad. They can kill it.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:41
			They can break a leg, if you have,
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			if you're a wolf and you get a
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:44
			broken leg,
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:46
			you know, it's not like you're gonna get
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			like 2 days, 2 weeks paid vacation from
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:50
			work, and like, free visits from Cleveland Clinic,
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53
			and but but then your doctor Ibrahim will
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:55
			like assess you initially, and then your MRI
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57
			is gonna be looked at by Hafez Forkhan,
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:00
			Doctor. Forkhan, and that's not how that works.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			If your leg is broken, you're gonna starve
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:03
			to death because you can't get to any
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			food. Right? That's it. That's game over.
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			There's there's no more to the story.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			So the wolf is not stupid enough to
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:13
			attack the flock head on. What did the
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			prophet notice? He noticed this which you don't
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			have to be Muslim to have noticed, is
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:19
			that they always attack the straggler,
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			the one that's weak, the one that's sick,
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			or the one that's dumb enough to not
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:26
			be concerned where's the rest of the flock,
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:28
			and strays off mindlessly, innocently.
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:32
			How lovable. It's it's lovable, you know, whimsical.
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34
			I'm going and smelling a flower while everybody
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:36
			else has taken the beaten path. I'm traveling
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:38
			the path, let's travel to bed, it has
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:39
			made all the difference.
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:44
			English poetry is so horrible. Anyway,
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:49
			you're doing this thing that like our society
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:49
			idolizes,
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			which is fine. Go right ahead and do
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55
			it. If everyone's jumping off a bridge, please
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:56
			be my guest, don't jump off the bridge.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:58
			But that doesn't mean all the time you
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00
			should be separate from the flock. The flock
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:02
			actually has some benefits in it as well.
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:04
			Why? Because the wolf always eats the the
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			sheep that strays from the flock. The Prophet
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said that.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			Who's the wolf? Look in any book of
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:11
			comment, the wolf is shaitan.
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:15
			The one who wants to be unique and
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:16
			different, that person will be unique and different.
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			The entire Ummah is gonna go to Jannah,
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:19
			that person will be alone in the *
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:20
			fire.
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:22
			So don't listen to some crazy person on
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			YouTube, and who's like, Oh, you know like
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:25
			all the ulema, they didn't understand the deen,
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			and I understand it. And like I'll tell
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:29
			you, Mike, you know in the Quran when
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:30
			it says that you can't eat pork, this
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:33
			doesn't mean that it's haram to eat bacon.
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35
			This means that, you know, we should cut
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37
			government spending and not have, you know,
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:41
			pork items, you know, like, you know, tacked
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:43
			on to, like, stimulus bills. That's what it
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			means. All the mullahs don't know what they're
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			doing. They just, you know, they're just eating
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:47
			their halwa. Right?
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:51
			No, man. It's okay. That's that's interesting. That's
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:51
			weird.
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:54
			That wheel. Good day. I wish you well.
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:55
			Good luck with that. Let me know how
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:57
			it turns out. We're gonna stick with what
		
00:46:57 --> 00:47:00
			the Jama'a says, and what they understood. Why?
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:02
			Because Allah is with the Jama'a,
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:04
			and the Prophet said stick with the Sawad
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:05
			A'avan,
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:06
			and,
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:08
			in fact what we know is that the
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:10
			person who strays from the flock, generally this
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:11
			is not a good sign. It is possible,
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:13
			maybe that person understood something that nobody else
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:15
			in Cleveland understood, but it's a very small
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:16
			possibility.
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:18
			We're gonna do our homework, do our due
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:20
			diligence, and in general that's not a good
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:21
			sign.
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:23
			The problem we have over here is that
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:25
			there's no jama'a, and there's not been any
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27
			effort to think about making a jama'a for
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:28
			so long.
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:33
			Cleveland has so many Muslims in it. It
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:34
			has so many Muslims in it, and it's
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:36
			a more well established and an older community
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:37
			than Chicago is.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:40
			The masjid I go to for Taraweeh
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43
			in Lombard, which is not the city of
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:44
			Chicago, it's like some like
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			random, like, complete, like, nondescript suburb.
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:52
			That it you know, you it's not even
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54
			like flyover country, but there's no freeway that
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:55
			goes through it, you know?
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:57
			Lombard,
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			the masjid that's down the road from my
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:01
			house, one of like 7 masajid.
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:03
			That masjid, you want to know about the
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:05
			tarawih that we have over there?
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:08
			There's one main tarawih, the khatam is going
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:10
			to be day after tomorrow on 29th.
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:13
			Mufti Azim Mufti Min Hajj is doing the
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:14
			khatam that's gonna be on the 29th. His
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:17
			brother Mufti Azim is doing another khatam in
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:18
			the building behind it.
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			And in the basement there's a khatam that
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:22
			was,
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:24
			in a different qira'ah, that was done in
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:25
			10 days.
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:28
			And in every room of Dar es Salaam,
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:31
			there are there are there are 30 classrooms.
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:33
			Every room there's a different tara'wih going on.
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:36
			One finishing on 10th, one finishing on 7th,
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:39
			one finishing on 20th, 1 finishing on 15th.
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40
			Every day they have a different khatam that's
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:43
			that's finishing their khatam dua in in,
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:46
			in that masjid. It's like a Disneyland of
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:48
			of like, but like instead of like Mickey
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:49
			Mouse, starawi.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:55
			There is one Masjid
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58
			on North Avenue, down the street from my
		
00:48:58 --> 00:48:59
			house,
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:00
			in which
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02
			there are literally
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:04
			10 times the number of tawihs
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:07
			that are happening in that one masjid
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:08
			than the entire Cleveland.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			This is not an issue of resources, this
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13
			is an issue of priorities.
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			Those people are not more pious than you
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:17
			and me, those people are not smarter than
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:19
			you and me, Those people are not more
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:20
			good looking than you and me. Those people
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:22
			are not more wealthy than you and me.
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:24
			In fact in fact, that that community is
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:25
			median,
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:28
			earning of that community is lower. It's actually
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:29
			a lower income,
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33
			demographic. They're barely able to pay for their
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:33
			own masajid,
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:36
			and they're barely able to fund their own
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:36
			masajid.
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:40
			The only difference is that there's a difference
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:43
			in vision that some people, not everybody, not
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:45
			even a majority of people, a very small
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:46
			number, just like this is a small number
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:47
			of people in Cleveland,
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:50
			a small number of people in that community,
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:52
			they got together, they said that this is
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:53
			a vision that we wanna have for our
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:55
			future, and then they fought with each other
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:57
			and they made 2 groups, and 4 groups,
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:59
			and 7 groups, and 19 groups. Sheikha, you
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			lived in Chicago as well. You know it's
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:01
			not
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:04
			like Disneyland or a fairy tale or utopic
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:06
			by any stretch of the imagination. The one
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:08
			common denominator is there's a small group of
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			people that's like 2% of the population, Muslim
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:12
			population in that place,
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:14
			that made a decision that they wanted to
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:16
			have a vision for the future, even if
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:17
			they thought about what that vision is gonna
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:18
			be
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:20
			incessantly since then.
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:22
			But they made that and it's made all
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:22
			the difference.
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24
			You have the chance to do it over
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:26
			here and you have a chance to bypass
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:28
			all of them as well. You have a
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:30
			chance to bypass all of them. I can
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:31
			tell you, I can tell you, you can
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:32
			do it very quickly in fact.
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:36
			These things are very normal things wherever Muslims
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:38
			go. If Muslims were able to thrive in
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:38
			Andalus,
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:41
			back in the days when you couldn't call
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:44
			YouTube video of like the Tarawih in Madinah
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:45
			Munawara.
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:48
			If they can have huffah, then books about
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:49
			you know, Shatibiyah,
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:51
			and the jazariyah, these are all books written
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:53
			in Andalus about the tira'at, and things like
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:54
			that.
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:55
			It's literally
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:56
			one one principality
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:57
			in Spain,
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00
			In which they had an emir one time
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:01
			that really like himself was a Hafiz of
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:04
			Quran, and really like the Hafiz of Quran,
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:06
			so he made an institution for whatever the
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:07
			recitation, and it just became the culture in
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:09
			that place. All these Quran came from there.
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:12
			In Spain Spain is not even Muslim anymore.
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:14
			Ask mashallah,
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:17
			these are it makes me cry because you
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:17
			know shateba
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:20
			There are some
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:23
			pig eating, kaffir eating hamon over there right
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:24
			now on
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:26
			the turba of our Akabir. Ibn Hazem
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38
			to fiqh? Those were grand showdowns that they
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:40
			used to have with one another. Ibn Hazm's
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:41
			house is like,
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:44
			was usurped by some kafir. There's like some
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:46
			sort of bed and breakfast there right now.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			Al Baji, ibn Abd al Baru, he was
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:52
			the qadi of Lisbon. God knows even where
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:54
			their graves are anymore. They destroyed the graves
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:56
			so nobody can visit them anymore.
		
00:51:57 --> 00:51:59
			But the legacy still lives on, they're still
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:01
			alive, they're even more alive than the people
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:03
			that are here, you and me are alive.
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:05
			Because I promise you the Quran through which
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			your sanad went through, all of them they
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:08
			read their books.
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:11
			Abu Bakr shaate bibhdapari is like, he's blind.
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:12
			He's blind.
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:15
			Wallahi sees with more Nur and with more
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:16
			basira
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:18
			than any of us do.
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:21
			The point is is that these are not
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:23
			far fetched things. We can do these things
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:25
			ourselves. It's just a matter of wanting to
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:27
			have vision. It's a Mubarak night. I feel
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:29
			bad. I've spoken already way too much. I
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:31
			apologize. I just realized that that what have
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:33
			I done? It's a Mubarak night. I wasted
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:35
			too much of people's night time. But let's
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:36
			make some sort of,
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:40
			some sort of decision inside of our hearts
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			and some sort of intention and conviction.
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:44
			Look, the Sheikh Musa is sitting here. He's
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:46
			been here for 11 years, Masha Allah. He
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:48
			doesn't want to be in this position.
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:52
			But he's here. Allahu put him in this
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:52
			position.
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			Look at him and say that inshallah, he's
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:56
			going to be our Amir in this project.
		
00:52:56 --> 00:52:58
			We're gonna make this project come to pass.
		
00:52:58 --> 00:53:00
			Masha'Allah. Hafiz Ibrahim,
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:01
			Bayusam,
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			Milana Elias, who was here last night may
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:06
			show up still. They started already started teaching
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:08
			the Maktab kids. They already started teaching the
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:10
			kid kids HIFs.
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:12
			Right now we import huffaf
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:14
			to Cleveland when we want to look Jibril
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:15
			is sitting here. Where are you from? You
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:16
			from Cleveland?
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:19
			Heck no, man. I'm from Detroit, from Motown.
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:21
			Right? Insha'Allah,
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:23
			I promise you forget about one day in
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:25
			the distant future. Within our lifetimes, we'll see
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:26
			the kids will go from Cleveland to go
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:29
			and lead the the hif the the Taraweeh
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:31
			in other cities.
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:33
			They'll compete with one another. Masajid will have
		
00:53:33 --> 00:53:35
			23 Taraweehs. They'll compete with one another to
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:36
			lead the Talaawis in the basements. There's gonna
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:37
			be so much Quran read in this city.
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:37
			While the cities of the east are abandoning
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:38
			the book of Allah
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:44
			so that they can have shopping malls, and
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:46
			Netflix's, and all this other stuff, no problem.
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			Allah give them hidayah, and may they return
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:50
			to the deen in a beautiful way. If
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:51
			they don't want it, we want it. We'll
		
00:53:51 --> 00:53:53
			take it. We'll accept it.
		
00:53:53 --> 00:53:55
			We'll send our kids just like from Chicago
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:57
			kids who are who follow the Quran, go
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:58
			to weird like
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:00
			Panama and like Venezuela
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:01
			and like,
		
00:54:01 --> 00:54:04
			you know, weird parts of South America and
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:06
			other places in order to read the Quran.
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:09
			My hometown, Blaine Washington, I can't believe it
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:10
			has a masjid. We grew up there, we
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:11
			never thought that. I used to go across
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:13
			the border to go to Canada to go
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:15
			to Jum'ah. Now there's a masjid literally, it's
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:16
			like 7 houses from my house.
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:19
			How is it even possible? Chicago sent them
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:22
			to huffad this year. Cleveland, why should Chicago
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:24
			Chicago is they're just eating hot dogs and
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:27
			deep dish pizza. They have nothing on you.
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:30
			There's nothing there that you guys don't have
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:32
			except for you have it better. Cleveland let
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:34
			them send a haf is also people can
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:35
			think of Cleveland Sharif and all of a
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:36
			sudden. We'll
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:42
			remember the time people, Leila used to go
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:45
			out to McDonald's after whatever the khatam, right?
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48
			They have nothing on you.
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:50
			You just have to want it.
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:52
			If If somebody else is hearing this, and
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:53
			they're from somewhere else, they have nothing on
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:55
			you. You just have to want it. Allah
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:57
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give us tawfiq. Allah Ta'ala
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:59
			from the barakah of this blessed night. If
		
00:54:59 --> 00:55:01
			it's the Laylatul Qadr, if it's Khayrum alfishaar,
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:03
			if it's more
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:06
			beautiful with Allah ta'ala and more
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:09
			Mubarak with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and better
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:12
			with Allah Ta'ala than a 1000 months. May
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:14
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala accept with the Amin
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:16
			of those 1000 months and the prayers of
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:18
			1,000 months, this dua of ours, that we
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:20
			make this place a holy and a sacred
		
00:55:20 --> 00:55:21
			place, that we make this place a place
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:23
			where the book of Allah is read by
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:25
			day night, That the name of Allah is
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:27
			taken by day night. The hadith of the
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:29
			prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam is read with sunad
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:30
			by day night. Not to argue with people
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:32
			and, you know, prove that I'm right and
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:33
			you're wrong, but for the love of Allah
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:36
			and His Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. The barakat
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:39
			of those places, the the the those, those
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:41
			beautiful names and words come down on this
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			place and protect it from calamity, and protect
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:46
			it from tribulation, and protect it from from
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:48
			evil. This evil which is about to engulf
		
00:55:48 --> 00:55:49
			the the world.
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:52
			Because people are not heedless of Allah and
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:55
			nothing happens, you know. You're not gonna have
		
00:55:55 --> 00:55:57
			a society where, men are marrying men and
		
00:55:57 --> 00:55:58
			women are marrying women, it's not gonna have
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:00
			any consequence. Promise, I promise
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:03
			you, you're not gonna have that and it's
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:05
			gonna go without any consequence. These things are
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:06
			all gonna fall apart. You and me both
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:07
			know that there's no future. You don't have
		
00:56:07 --> 00:56:08
			to be a medical doctor in order to
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:10
			know that there's not a future in that.
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:12
			And when those things start to collapse and
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:13
			fall apart,
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:15
			life is gonna become very hard for a
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:17
			lot of people. It's gonna happen and it
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:18
			might happen in our own lifetimes.
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:20
			This is the only thing that we can
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:21
			hold fast to, that when the flood of
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:23
			all that facade comes, this deen is the
		
00:56:23 --> 00:56:25
			ark that's going to save us from that
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:28
			flood. Allah give us tawfiq to build it
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:28
			according
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:31
			to That we build it according to the
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:33
			plans that were handed down to us by
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:33
			Rasulullah
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:36
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And it's exact details
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:39
			according according to the the knowledge of revelation.
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:40
			That we can build it and it can
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:42
			save us from the flood of this world
		
00:56:42 --> 00:56:43
			and the flood of the hereafter. In this
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:45
			Mubarak night Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give us
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:47
			a toffi, even if it's not late at
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:48
			Tawqa Dar Allah Ta'alaqin,
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51
			all he has to say is yes, that
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:52
			I accept this Amin, and I accept this
		
00:56:52 --> 00:56:54
			prayer, and it will come to pass. May
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:55
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept it from us.
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:56
			Amin.
