00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			Alhamdulillah
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			All praises to Allah.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			All praises to Allah.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			All praises to Allah who guided us to
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			this,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			who guided us to Islam, and to iman,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			and to his
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			house on this hour, this day, of this
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			month.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			And we were not to be guided. Was
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			it not that Allah had guided us?
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			Oh, Allah to you is
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			praise as is commensurate with the majesty of
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			your countenance and the greatness of your authority.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			Oh, Allah, we do not limit you with
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			any praise we can come up with ourselves.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			Rather, we admit that you are the only
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			one who knows the true extent of your
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			praise worthiness.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			And may the peace and blessings of Allah
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			be upon his servant and messenger, Sayyidina Muhammad
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. May the peace and
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			blessings of Allah
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			be upon him,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			and upon his noble companions, and upon his
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			pure wives, and upon his Mubarak and blessed
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			family and progeny,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			and upon all of those who follow all
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			of their way until the day of judgment.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			in a hadith
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			narrated by Sayedna Salman al Farisi Radhi Allah
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			Ta'ala Anhu,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			which is included by Imam Behati
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			in his
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			Sunil Kubra.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			So in the Salman Farsi narrates that the
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			Messenger of Allah
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			at the beginning of Ramadan
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			gave a long
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			talk regarding
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			the
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			and the virtues, the benefits,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:38
			the
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			the the beauty of Ramadan.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			And this talk has a lot of information
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			in it. Undoubtedly, you've heard the hadith before,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			but I wanted to focus just on a
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			couple of
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			things that the prophet
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			refers to in this talk.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			He says regarding this month
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			that it is the month of generosity.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			He says
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			that it is a month of generosity and
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			then the messenger of Allah
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			he tells 3 benefits,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			3 benefits of
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			the one who gives
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			for the iftar, for the opening of the
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			fast of the one who was fasting.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			The person who gives for the iftar, for
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			the opening of the fast of the one
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			who is fasting. He
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			mentions
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:28
			3
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			benefits, 3 rewards.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			The first is what?
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			That the person who is
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			giving for the one who is fasting, the
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			one who gives for that person to open
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			their fast. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			them their sins.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			The second is what?
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			The second is what?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			That that person, their neck will be freed.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			It will be liberated from the fire.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Brothers and sisters, this is one of the
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			many
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			seeming paradoxes of the spiritual world.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			We don't believe we're not reductionist people who
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			will only believe
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			in the physical.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			Right? Only believe in the physical. This is
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			a philosophy known as empiricism.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			This is a philosophy that doesn't even work
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			in science, much less in religion.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			What is empiricism? If you cannot see it,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			if you cannot taste it, if you cannot
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			touch it, if you cannot somehow experience
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:22
			it physically,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			or through some sort of sensory means, it
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			doesn't exist.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			The most simple,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			refutation
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			of
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			empiricism is what is the idea of 0.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			0 is a number we've all become very
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			accustomed to using.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			Without 0, you cannot make any of the
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			calculations that allows the electrical system in the
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			message to function, to allow us to build
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			buildings like like the one that we're in,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			that allows us to build roads, the like
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			the ones that we drive on or to
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			drive in the to make the cars that
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			we drive in. 0 is something we take
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			for granted. Try to make a long division
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			calculation using roman numerals and you'll see you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			cannot do anything without 0. Now, tell me
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			something.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			0, can you show me 0?
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			No. 0 is not a number. It's a
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			philosophical concept.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			0 is not something that you can write
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			because by writing you've written something. Right? It's
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			a symbol
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			that that that that that represents a philosophical
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			concept,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			That it's a placeholder for something even though
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			there's nothing physically there, but you know that
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			there's something there that requires a placeholder, requires
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			some sort of notation.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			From that, if a person learns thermodynamics,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			they know about this concept called absolute 0
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			because of through which all of your anthropic
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			calculations and all of your free energy calculations
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			are made. Absolute 0 is also something that
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			you cannot make in a lab. You cannot
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			empirically
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			experience it. You cannot taste it, smell it,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			touch it, or point to it and say,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			this isn't a lab. Look. This is absolute
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			zero. But without it, none of the calculations
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			that we that we do are possible.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			Brothers and sisters, we live in a time
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			where people are empiricists.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			They have this idea, they transact in this
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			idea or in this philosophy that if it's
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			not physically present, it doesn't exist.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			Now, when the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:07
			says,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			What does this mean? That the hellfire is
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			real. The hellfire is a reality. Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			wa ta'ala created it for a reason,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			for a purpose.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			And one of the other very,
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			one of the very in vogue and
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			and and,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			in vogue philosophies and philosophies that is,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			that pervades kind of the the the the
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			the dominant discourse that
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			that, we transact in is what? Is positivism.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			That we only wanna talk about certain things
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			if they're positive. We only wanna talk about
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			positive things, we don't wanna be negative.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			The fact of the matter is, if negativity
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			wasn't useful, Allah and his messenger salallahu alaihi
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			wa sallam would not have used them.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			There would be no hellfire.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			There would be no mention of punishment in
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			the Quran. There would be no warning against
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			punishment in the Quran. The Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			Wasallam would have been a bashir and not
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			a nadeer, only a bringer of glad tidings
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			and not a warner. But the fact of
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			the matter is the messenger of Allah salallahu
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			alaihi wa sallam serves both functions.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			Not just by his own Mubarak speech
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			but by the the text of the Quran
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			itself, by the nasa of the Quran itself.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			And the fact of the matter is that
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			a person,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			to be healthy, has to have a balance
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			between two extremes,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			between and between
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			Between positive motivation and negative motivation. Between hope
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and fear of
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's punishment.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			So the paradox is what? The paradox is
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			this, that Allah created the fire. The one
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			who fears that fire, that person would be
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			safe from the fire. And the one who
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			when he hears or she hears a hadith
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			regarding the fire, a hadith regarding jahannam,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			and they think that that's for somebody else,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			that's not for me. The fact of the
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			matter is that person is perilously, dangerously
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			close to that fire. It comes in the
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			hadith of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			wa sallam. That when a person dies and
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			is put inside of their grave, the people
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			of iman and the people of righteousness, these
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			are hadith. You don't know how to be
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			a specialist to find them. You can find
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			them in the real of in in in
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			simple collections of a hadith that are, that
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			the ulama compiled for for for the laity,
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			for the for the general masses.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			When a person dies on iman and on
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			faith and on righteousness, when they enter into
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			the into their grave, one of the things
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			that happens after their questioning is that the
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			angel is commanded to open a window into
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			the hellfire and to show the person. This
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			is the place that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			created for each and every one of us.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			Each and every one of us. Allah has
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			already created a place for us in the
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			fire, and the angel will show you that
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			place in the fire, and the angel will
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			say, but because of the mercy and the
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			grace of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and because
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			of your efforts and your
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			your your your your striving in your life
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			to be free from it, Allah
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			has replaced it for a place in Jannah.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			But the idea that there is a place
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			in the fire for each and every one
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			of us, When
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			we seek
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:01
			refuge
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			in
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:03
			Allah
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			The most generous of the generous and noble
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			of the noble. The fact that there's a
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			place created for each and every one of
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			us in the fire is something that should
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			creep us, it should spook us, it should
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			cause us distress, it should cause us to
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			fear that that place not be used one
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			day. May Allah be our protection. Right? From
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			the night of Saturday, from Magrib of Saturday,
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			the last 10 nights of Ramadan will start.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			In the same hadith, the Nabi
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			describes the last 10 nights of Ramadan as
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			what?
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			Right? That this is the time that the
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:36
			slave
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			whose neck is enslaved to the fire, that
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			that that that those chains will be opened.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			Right? That slave will be manumitted from the
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			the the the the fire.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			What a horrible master to have. What a
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			horrible what a horrible, dominance
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			to be put under. What a horrible society
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			society to be a part of. What a
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			horrible social structure to be a part of.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			That these last 10 days are literally
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			reserved from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			for the special purpose of what? The one
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			who wants to have his neck or her
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			neck freed from the fire, that that neck
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			will be freed from the fire if the
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			person asks in those 10 days.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			And the hadith of the prophet
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			that his dua in these last 10 nights
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:21
			was what?
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			Oh Allah,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			you are the one who forgives. And you
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			love forgiveness, so forgive me. Right? And this
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			is not the forgiveness of one thing or
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			another thing. This is a total and absolute
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:38
			forgiveness
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			for all of the things that all of
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			us did in our life. Allah ta'ala sees
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			everything and hears everything.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, because of whom and
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			in front of whom, even the prophet salayhi
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			musawatu wa sallam feared that their good deeds
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			were not good enough for him. His right
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			over every single one of the creation is
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:56
			absolute
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			and without any sort of condition.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			Allah ta'ala is right over every one of
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			the creation is absolute without any sort of
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			condition. If one of you were to buy
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			a a a car, if you were to
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			buy a Lexus or a Tesla or you
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			were to buy whatever, like, the most fancy
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			car you can think of is, and then
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			you pay for it in cash, and you
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			drive it out to your your your lot,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			you know, like to a farm, farmhouse that
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			you own. And you took a sledgehammer, you
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			smashed the car to pieces. Is anyone gonna
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			be able to call the police and then
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			say this person committed a crime, take them
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			to jail? No. You called the police the
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			last well, did he steal the car? No.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			Did he does he owe money on the
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			car? No. He paid for it in cash.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:36
			Did he,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			you know, is there some sort of EPA
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			regulation he's violating?
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			This is Indiana. They really don't care so
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			much about those things here.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			Well, why are you calling us? Why are
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			you wasting our time?
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			If you call us again, we'll take you
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			to jail. Now if a person can buy
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			a car in cash,
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			with cash he didn't print,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			from a job that someone else is giving
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			him pay a paycheck from, with an education
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			that they received from somebody else, tuition paid
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			by somebody else, by a scholarship or by
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			their parents or by somebody else.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			If that person can buy the car and
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			they have the right to do with it
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			whatever they want to once their ownership is
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			complete over that car, then what do you
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			think about
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			Allah who created the entire heavens and earth
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			from nothing?
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			The one who created entire the entire heavens
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			and the earth from nothing.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			That one, his ownership and his right over
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			his creation is greater than the rights of
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			people like you and I in 2016
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			in the great state of Indiana.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			This is something we don't think about and
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			we don't want to think about and we
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			don't understand,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			But it is a reality.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			There's nobody if he makes a decision
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			that will be able to then
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			appeal or overturn that decision.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			Allah
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			the definition of justice in our is what?
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			Allah decides. It's the hadith, the dua of
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			Oh, I am your slave and the son
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			of your slave man and the son of
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			your slave woman.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			My forelock is in your hand.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			Whatever you command regarding me, that's the thing
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			that will come to pass.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			Whatever your judgement is, that's my definition of
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			justice. Allah who's right over everybody is absolute.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			The one who doesn't need a reason, who
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			doesn't need a reason in order to punish
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			his slave. The one in front of whom
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			even the
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			even
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			the infallible and sinless
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			prophet salayahu alayhi wasalam,
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			when they come in front of him, they
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:42
			fear him,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			and they say that Allah to Allah who
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			promised them Jannah, only promised it to them
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			from his mercy, that Allah
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			the one who doesn't fear his punishment.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			That's an injustice, and this is an excess
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			on the part of the slave against his
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			master. Rather, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who has
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			the right to do whatever he wants, he
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			is the one who wrote on himself that
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			his mercy will outstrip his wrath. This is
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			not because of a right that you and
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			I have, nor is it because of some
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			sort of grace or virtue that we possess.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			Rather this is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			his sovereignty
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			picking something for himself,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			choosing something for himself that we are the
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			beneficiaries of. And we must recognize that that's
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			the that's the scenario. The scenario is not
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			because we're Muslims or because we, pray 5
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			times a day or because we're from a
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			certain country or we speak a certain language,
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35
			that we deserve the the forgiveness of Allah
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			to the exclusion of all other people. Rather
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			what? Because of Allah grace and his mercy.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			Nothing that we did, it's all because of
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			his grace and his mercy
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			And what is grace? What is fadul from
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			Allah?
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			Say because of the grace of Allah ta'ala
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			and because of his mercy,
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			let the people rejoice because of that. It
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			is better than those material things that people
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			spend their lives trying to gather. What is
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			the grace of Allah The fumbled of Allah
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			is that
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			that blessing, that gift that we did nothing
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			to earn. It is that blessing and that
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			gift that we did nothing to earn. And
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			it is that blessing and that gift that
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			we can do nothing to repay.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			It is that blessing and gift that we
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			can do, nothing to repay. So Allah
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			who has hidden the excuses for his mercy,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			has hidden the excuses for his forgiveness,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			has hidden the the the excuses for the
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			slave whose destiny was written for the fire.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			Every single one of us by the testimony
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			of the Rasul has
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			a place prepared for us already by name,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			and by individual in the fire, that Allah
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			has hidden the excuse to free us from
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			the fire in every part of his creation.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			And our job is to look for those
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			excuses.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			We don't say that we enter into Jannah
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			because of our good deeds. We don't say
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			that we'll enter paradise by our good deeds,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			but by the grace and mercy of Allah
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. And in that sense, the
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			failure is not the one
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			not the person who's not able to be
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			perfect in this life. The failure is the
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			person who cannot even try.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			None of us is able to be there's
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			no hadith or no eye of the Quran
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			in which it says that the believer is
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			the one who's perfect and commits no sins.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			The believer is the one who what? Who
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			constantly repents and constantly constantly seeks the fadl
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			of Allah ta'ala
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			and constantly follows a bad deed with a
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			good one so that the effect of the
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			bad deed can be erased.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			Wasallam who says, the one who feeds the
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			one who is fasting, that person, their neck
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			will be liberated from the fire. This is
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			a very good deal, brothers and sisters. This
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			is the best bang for your buck you're
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			going to get. This is the best deal
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			that you and I are going to get.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			It's a deal that we don't even deserve.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			If someone were to tell you right now,
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			okay, I ask you right now, can I
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			have a $1,000?
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			A person would say, no. That's like a
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			lot of money. Maybe $5, $20, I'll give
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			it to you. Some of us maybe,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			doing well. Maybe they'll give, you know, drop
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			a drop a $100 on somebody. A $1,000
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			is just too much money. What if
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			I said to you, a $1,000 and I'll
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			give you
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			10 acres of land with a building that's
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			just as big as this building on
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			it. Everyone would run for it. They would
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			borrow money if they didn't have the money.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			They would say thank you to the one
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			who gave them that offer. Why? Because you're
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			getting, in return,
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			far more than what you put into it.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			Far more than what you put into it.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			And you're humbled that you even had the
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			opportunity to transact in such a transaction.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			He says, what?
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			This is
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			what said, what? The one who feeds the
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			one who is fasting?
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			That
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			person, their
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			their their their neck which was enslaved to
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			the fire, their neck will be freed from
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			the slavery of the fire. May Allah make
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			us from amongst those people in this month
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			of Ramadan, in this night, in this day,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			in this very minute, in this very Mubarak
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			hour. May Allah make all of us from
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			those people. Say, amen.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			And the third the third thing that the
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:57
			prophet
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			mentioned, the third benefit of feeding the one
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			who was fasting is what?
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			Is what? That the person who gives to
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			feed the one who was fasting receives the
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			reward of the one who was fasting without
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			diminishing from their reward one bit.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			The one who gives to feed the one
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			who is fasting,
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			receive the reward for reward of the one
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			who is fasting without diminishing from their reward
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			one bit. What is this? Those of us
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			who have the opportunity of spending Ramadan in
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			the Muslim world see this, that this is
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			one of the customs of the Muslims, that
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			when it's time for iftar, what do people
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			do? It's almost like a game show. They
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			grab the plate of dates, and they're handing
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			out dates to everybody.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			Why? Because they wanna have the reward of
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			the person who is fasting. Indeed, said the
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			Salman al Farsi, radiAllahu anhu, who was from
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			the Ashab Sufa,
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			Sufa from the the poor people, the poor
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			guests. They used to call them euphemistically the
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			guests of Islam. He was from the poor
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			people who had nowhere to live, no one
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			to house them, and the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			wasallam taught them about the deen because they
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			had no job or no work to do
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			in the day.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			Sayedna Salman al Farisi radiAllahu anhu says that
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			the asked, not all of us are able
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			to even afford to feed ourselves. How are
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			you gonna feed the the people who are
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			fasting? The messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			sallam responded how?
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			He said, what? This counts even for a
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			person who gives a sip of water to
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			somebody when they when they are fasting. This
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			counts for someone who even gives a date
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			to the one who has one date to
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			the one who is fasting. This counts for
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			the person who even gives a taste of
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			milk to the one who is fasting.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			This is what? This is the Nabi
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			training this ummah. Now tell me something, if
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			you give a date to somebody who is
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			fasting the whole day, will they be satiated?
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			Will they be full after after eating a
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			date? No. But one of the the the
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			customs of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			what? Is that he used to reduce the
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			practice of the deen Saas to to the
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			degree that what? That everybody could practice it.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			So that everybody has the habit of practicing.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			So that when a person is asked in
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			the name of Allah and His Rasool Sallallahu
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			Alaihi Wa Salam to give from that which
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			they love. And everybody loves money. It's the
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			one of the most sincere forms of love
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			that we have in our in our culture.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			Right? Everybody loves money so that when asked
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			to give from what you love, every single
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			one of the Sahaba radiAllahu on whom rich
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			and poor, everybody, they gave for the sake
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			of Allah.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			Nobody said no. They gave what they had.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			Even if they had to cut a date
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			in half and give that as sadaqa, they
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			would give it as sadaqa. This is the
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			meaning of of of of of
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			savior, face from the fire even through half
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			of a date. This is real. There are
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			some people, they only had half of a
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			date to give, and they gave it, and
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			the mocked them. They say, what? The the
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			sadaqa is something? The sadaqa is something that
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			you should you're gonna hope for reward from
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			Allah And and the munabbatim mocked them, and
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			Allah mocked them back. Them hypocrites mocked those
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			people who gave in sincerity.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			When asked in the name of Allah and
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			his Rasool, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			don't say why is this person asking me
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			for money? Everybody's asking for money. Give to
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			give to that person.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			If you have a lot, give a lot.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			If you have a little, give a little.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			If you have nothing to give, give them
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			du'a. So this person is doing a farqifa,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			and this person is serving the ummah. The
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			Nabi alayhis salatu waslam who said,
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			I am the guardian and the protector of
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			the one who has no one to care
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			for them, no one to guard them, no
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			one to protect them. That's my job,
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			Whoever wishes to take up the mission and
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:15
			the task of the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			let them also consider that mission their own.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			If you cannot go and feed the people
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			of the world, then give them the money
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			to feed 1 person. If you cannot do
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			that, at least make the dua for them.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			At least when you see somebody who's doing
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			this work, be happy about it. So that
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			Allah may give you your portion from that
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			work as well. The dabi salallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			himself was commanded by the messenger of Allah,
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			but commanded by
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			Allah As for the one who comes and
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			asks you, never never repulse them harshly. In
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			fact, say the Anas bin Malik narrates
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			that the messenger of Allah
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			That the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			was never asked for anything after the advent
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			of Islam, except for he gave it. If
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			he had something, someone asked him, he would
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			give it. If he didn't have what he
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			was asked, he wasn't able to give, he
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			would seek forgiveness from such a person. Let
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			us revive these noble and lofty.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			Let us revive these noble and lofty
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			prophetic, characteristics
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27
			inside of our lives, inside of our this
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			day, inside of this hour. And I want
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			to leave you with one last small snippet
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			from this hadith that's in the Salman al
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:33
			Farsi
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:37
			narrated. You know how when we have children,
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			it's a good habit. You should give your
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			children $5, $10, tell them, go put it
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			inside the the donation box for the masjid.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			Go give it to a poor person. Go
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			give it for charity.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			Why? It's not even their money. You're giving
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			them the money. All they're doing is they're
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			putting it in the box. But when they
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			put it in the box, and they see
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			mama and baba as uncle as big brother
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			is happy with them, big sister is happy
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			with them, it makes them what?
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			It makes them, it
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			makes their heart feel good about doing good
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			deeds. It trains them to do good deeds,
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			it makes them feel good about doing good
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			deeds. We should train them to do those
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			things, just like we train
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			our young ones and
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			our our our beloved ones, our little ones,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			to good character
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			and to good conduct.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			Just like that Allah
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			He's the one, his messenger, sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			sallam, this entire hadith describe describes all of
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			the benefits and all of the the the
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			virtues of giving and of generosity in this
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			noble month. And
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			then while the Nabi also said
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			And this is such a month that the
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			provision of the believer is also increased in
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			it. Meaning what? Allah who's asking you to
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			give more, the Nabi salallahu alaihi wasallam was
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			asking you to give more, they also say
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gives you more as
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			well. He's the one who gave you. Everybody
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			will eat well tonight. There's nobody, even a
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			broke person. Everybody eats well in Ramadan.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			Everybody eats well.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			Ghazali,
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			he says
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			he he he says that the person who
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			eats as much in Ramadan to eat outside
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			of Ramadan
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			is is is missing the point. And the
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			one who eats more in Ramadan than he
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			eats outside of Ramadan,
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			that person is, like, even further away from
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			from what he or she should supposed to
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:17
			be doing. Right? So from amongst our ulema,
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			especially the Muaddiddeen, they said, well, this is
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:20
			this is a good philosophical point, but what
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:20
			are we supposed to do? The Messenger of
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:20
			Allah himself, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			himself said, this is the month in which
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			the provision of the believer is increased. Do
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			we know the provision is is written by
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. If he wrote that
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			you're gonna eat it these days, what are
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			you gonna do except for eat? Say before
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			you start and when you're done. That's That's
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			really all you can do sometimes.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:39
			Allah
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			give all of us. Allah give us that
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			what he gave us that we spend for
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			his sake so that it can be something
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			we benefit from forever. May give us from
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			his grace and bounty in this world. May
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			give us from his grace and bounty in
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			the hereafter. May Allah help those people who
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			are going to dig through garbage in order
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:58
			to eat their iftar and their suhoor and
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			this ummah, and they're there every single day
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			doing it. And when they when they eat,
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			they say bismillah, and when they're finished, they
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			say, alhamdulillah.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
			May Allah
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			give them the help in this world and
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			give us the help that we need for
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:10
			the hereafter.
