00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			All praises to Allah, all praises to Allah,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			all praises to Allah, all praises to Allah
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			who guided us to this, who guided us
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			to Islam and to iman,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			and to his Mubarak house on this Mubarak
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			hour, this Mubarak day, and we were not
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			to be guided. Was it not that Allah
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			guided
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			us? Oh, Allah. To you, his praise as
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			his commensurate with the majesty of your confidence
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			and the greatness of your authority.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			Oh, Allah, we do not limit you with
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			any praise. We can come up with ourselves.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			Rather, we admit that you're the only one
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			who knows the true extent of your praise
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:54
			worthiness.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			And may the peace and blessings of Allah
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon his servant and
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			messenger,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			our master, Saydna Muhammad
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. May the peace and
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			blessings of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			him and upon his noble companions and upon
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			his
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			pure wives and upon his Mubarak family and
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			progeny and upon all of those who follow
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			all of their
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			ways until the day of judgment.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			So we continue in the series of
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			that we started
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			when talking about the ayah of Suratul Baqarah,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			where
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Allah commands the believers
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			that you should spend in the path of
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			Allah from that which Allah gave you. Right?
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			That Allah says that
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			That the likeness of those who spend in
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			the path of Allah
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			is the likeness of
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			a
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			a a grain
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			that is planted and then from its 7
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			ears of grain come out, and each ear
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			of grain, there are a 100,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			a 100 seeds.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			Allah says that
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			and Allah will multiply for whoever he wills.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			And Allah is expansive and all knowing.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			And the idea is that what? Is that
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:25
			there is
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			some standard by which a good deed is
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			done, by which the deeds
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			outcome can be amplified.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			And we talked about what that standard was.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			That the the they
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			said that that standard breaks down into
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			3 different 3 different parts.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			Right? One of them we talked about last
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			week, which is the knowledge of the person
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			doing the good deeds. The greater the knowledge
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			of the person doing the good deed is,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			the greater the understanding,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			and the heart, and the and the sincerity,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			and the, deliberateness with which that deed is
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			done, thereby, the greater the reward the person
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			doing the deed receives.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			And then we talked about the second part
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			being what? The purity of the means by
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			which that deed is done. Like a farmer
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			will get a higher yield on a crop
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			with the better seed that he uses. Some
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			seed will give a crop that is resistant
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			to weather conditions, resistance to resistant to pests,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			resistant to illnesses, resistance to,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			fungal fungal infections, bacterial infections, etcetera.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			And some seeds are very weak, and they
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			make fruit that is very small
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			and that is very bitter and that is
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			very sensitive to temperature conditions and very sensitive
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:37
			to
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			infections, and very sensitive to any other sort
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:41
			of disruption.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			And the seed that the farmer uses has
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			a very high impact on,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			on the yield that they receive, and that's
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			what we wanted to talk about. That that
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			seed or that means that a person uses
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:52
			to
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			to do their good deeds,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			that is
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			the analogy of how pure the means a
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			person uses to do what they do.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			How pure the means a person uses to
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			do what they do, how halal
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			in in
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			in simpler terms, how halal is your risk
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			and how halal is what you eat and
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			drink, how permissible and lawful is your provision,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			The money that you make, the things that
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			you look at, the things that you listen
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			to, the things that you consume, the things
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			that you eat and drink. How halal are
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			those things? The more halal they are, the
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			more reward a person will get with them.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			There's 2 people, 1 person
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			will work hard,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			manual labor, not make a whole lot of
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			money for what they do, but the money
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			that they make is pure. The sunnah, the
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			2 sunnah ways of making money, the 2
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			ways that have the most baraka according to
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			are those things that a person does with
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:48
			their own hands.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			And trade, honest trade, honest business.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			Honest business where you,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			disclose to the buyer all the defects of
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			the thing that you're selling, where you disclose
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			to the buyer the complete picture of what
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			he's buying, you bring him something he needs,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			and he happily gives you a a a
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			a a small profit from it. You take
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			something that's in surplus in one place, and
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			you put it in a place that's in
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			demand in another place, and 3 people win.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			The person with the surplus gets money that
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			they need, the person who has too much
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			money gets the the the goods that they
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			need, and you are the third one who
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			benefits in the middle because you make a
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			living, you make a livelihood out of out
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			of the middle of it. So these are
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			the 2 sunnah trades that that are there,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			and after that there are many trades and
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			professions that a person can do that are
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:36
			lawful.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			The person who works hard,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			the person who works hard and does the
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:42
			the
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			the the the the labor of their own
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:46
			hands,
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			maybe they won't make so much money. Maybe
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			they'll make a a wage that's hourly, that's
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			close to minimum wage. Some of the people
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			who do the hardest work, actually they pay
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			them less than minimum wage. Right? They say
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			so and so is an illegal alien, or
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			so and so is a
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			a a a nonresident. And so people pay
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			them under the table, and they give them
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			even less than what is the or what
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			is, the the customary decent amount that a
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			person is supposed to be paid. And oftentimes,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			those people do the most honest work and
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			the best work. Maybe that person brings a
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			small amount of money with them, and they
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			give him sadaqa. Or maybe that person brings
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			a small amount of money with them and
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			gives zakat, or gives a zakat or gives
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			a donation to the masjid, or buy something
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			for somebody, food for a needy person, or
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			or for a person who is fasting, or
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			buy something with it. Maybe they use that
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			small amount of money to buy something very
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			small, and the reward with Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			ta'ala is for that small amount of money,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			something that we will throw on the sidelines.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			People like us that Allah give great means
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			to, we'll throw on the side and we'll
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			not even bat an eyelash about it. Maybe
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			that person will give that amount, and Allah
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			will give in its exchange eternal life and
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			jannah forever, and forgiveness for all of that
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			person's sins.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			Allah
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			first the thing first you have to understand,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			Allah
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			is not impressed with your money. He's not
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			impressed with my money. He's not impressed with
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:07
			a
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			$1,000,000. He's not impressed with $10,000,000.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			He's not impressed with $10,000,000,000.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			He's not impressed with a $1,000,000,000.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			He's not impressed with any of it. He's
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			the one who created the from
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			nothing. He created the heavens and the earth,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			something that you think you know and I
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			think I know, but we don't even know
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			what the secrets are in this earth, much
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			less in the heavens. He created all of
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			it and nothing, in one word,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			He said to it, be and it is.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			Our money doesn't impress him at all. In
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			that sense, a $1,000,000,000
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			and 1¢ is completely equal to Allah in
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			the fact that it's all nothing.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			Allah wants to look at what? What's inside
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			of your your your heart. Right? Allah doesn't
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			look at your picture, your outward form. Right?
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			He doesn't look at your body. He doesn't
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			look at your outward beauty, rather he looks
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			at your heart. It's a Sahih Hadith of
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			He wants you to give that 1 cent
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			of purity. He doesn't care about the 1,000,000,000
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			or $1,000,000,000,000.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			He doesn't care about it. How many masajid
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			are built? They're built on the funding of
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			a person whose name is put on the
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			masjid. The money was not pure, Allah may
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			not accept it from that person. How many
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			masajid are built? They have no name of
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			the people who gave the small
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			amount of nafakah, the small amount of donation.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			Small donations that they put together. How many
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			are built? Literally, they have no carpets, they're
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			sand, and there's grass,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			just bundles of grass that are there to
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			shade a person. The people who put those
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			bundles of grass together in a halal and
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			a pure way, they're written with Allah
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			and the list of people He loves until
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:38
			the
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			This is something, we don't get it.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			To be very frank with you, we don't
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			get it. It's a very simple concept. We
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			understand conceptually but
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			very few of us get it. We don't
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			understand this. We think, oh, if I make
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			more, if I do this, everyone else is
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			doing it, etcetera, etcetera.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			Again, I mentioned so many times and it's
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			worth mentioning, it bears repetition.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			It's the first hadith of sunan al Imamt
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			Tilmidi. Allah doesn't
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:15
			accept. Allah doesn't accept a salaam without wudu.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			If you don't have wudu, if you don't
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			have ghusl, if you're in or if you're
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			in hadith, you don't have where you are,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			in a major state of in ritual impurity,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			if you pray, Allah promises you He won't
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			accept it. Don't show up to the masjid
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			and say, Allah knows what's in my heart
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			brother, you can't tell me what is this
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			between me and Allah. It is between you
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			and Allah. And who am I to say
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			what Allah will accept and what he won't?
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			But his messenger
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			said it very explicitly,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			that he will not accept it. If you
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			make properly,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			there's still no guarantee that he'll accept it
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			from you. So you should be humble, I
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			should be humble when we put our prayer
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			forth in front of the Lord
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			But if we don't have if we don't
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			come with the prerequisites,
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			his Nabi
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			promised us, he will not accept it. Just
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			as we would laugh at a person who
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			would stand up in front of everybody and
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			say, Allah will accept. Who are you to
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			tell me what what to do that I
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			have to make? It's between me and Allah
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			if I make or not. I can pray
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			all I want. We would laugh at such
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			a person. Our small children would laugh at
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			such a person that they have no idea
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			what they're talking about. That they have no
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			idea what they're talking about. Just like that,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			the rabbi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			in the exact same the same sentence, what
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			did he
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			say? And he doesn't accept what?
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			Any money that you are trying to use
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			to spend by which you are trying to
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			gain closeness to Allah
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			Any cent that you are trying to spend
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			by which you are trying to get proximity
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			to Allah
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			that's from ill gotten means Allah will not
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			accept it. Allah will not accept it. If
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			it was a hot day,
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			imagine there's a cooler with water. Nowadays we
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			thump our nose at water because we're very
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			wealthy people, we have very expensive habits. Somebody
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			may want to drink coke, somebody may want
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			to drink lemonade, someone may want to drink
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			iced tea, and even when they drink the
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			iced tea, it has to be organic, and
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			it has to have cane sugar instead of
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			fructose corn syrup, and has to be this,
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			has to be that, has make name the
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			nicest drink that you can think of, that's
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			halal. Okay?
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			Imagine there's a cooler of it, it's your
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			favorite drink, it's a hot day, you're thirsty.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			Okay? If somebody somebody said, this cooler, everyone,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			it's for the public to drink from. I
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			just put, like, a small drop of urine
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			in it.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			Who's gonna drink from it? Raise your hand.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			Go ahead. Who's gonna drink from it? Who's
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			gonna drink from it? Even if you would
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			drink from it, you wouldn't raise your hand
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			because it's a shame in front of other
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			people. It's a shame in front of other
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:32
			people.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			What is it? It's a shame. It's something
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			to be ashamed of. We're clean people. Our
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			forefathers were clean people. We don't do those
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			types of things. It's something that anyone who's
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			on the fitra, anybody who has anything resembling
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			a normal and undamaged nafs,
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			and
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			and and and and and disposition,
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			and soul. That person would say, this is
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			disgusting. I'd rather just drink the the, you
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			know, the the water from the water fountain
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			than drink something that has urine in it.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			This is what it means,
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			This is what it means. Allah doesn't accept
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			he doesn't accept
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			a deed that a person is doing,
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			by which they think they're getting close to
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			him, he doesn't accept it if it has
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			any ill gotten wealth in it. And it
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			doesn't mean that, oh, okay. I didn't rob
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			a liquor store to bring this money, so
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			it should be good. No.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			Right? I didn't say that the cocooner is
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			full of urine. If the cocooner is full
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			of urine, maybe they'll call the health department
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			and shut the entire masjid down.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			I said just one drop. Just one drop
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			makes it unacceptable to any of us.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			Okay? Makes it unacceptable to any of us.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			Alright? What do we say in our sadhda?
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			What do we say in our ruku?
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			Right? Glory be to Allah to Allah, the
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			great, the magnificent.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			Glory be to Allah, the most high.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			Subbuuh, the one who is,
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			who who who who is
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			innately
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			deserving of glory. Quduz, the one who is
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			sacred and holy.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			The one who is the Lord of the
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			malaika and the ruh. The one who is
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			the Lord of all pure things, Right? The
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			angels and the the the spirits.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			You and me are not even close to
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			that. We're not even forget about Allah ta'ala,
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			we're not even close to the angels. We
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			go to the bathroom so many times in
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			the day. Right? We eat things, and those
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			things, what happens to them? They become rot.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			Right? When we die, our our our our
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			bodies go into the ground,
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			and after just a small amount of time,
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			the body is so full of worms, the
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			person who loved you, like nobody else loved
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			you in the world, that person even will
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			not want to look at you anymore.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			That's what we are. Even then this is
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			too dirty for us. Imagine
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			Allah Imagine Allah who and
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			that we expect him to expect accept these
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			things from us. These are things our forefathers,
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			they got them, they understood them, they get
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			them, we don't get them,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			We don't get them. Our forefathers got these
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			things, we don't get these things.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			We see what? That if you wanna do
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			things the right way, you're going to be
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			not making as much money, and And if
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			you wanna take a little bit of wiggle
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			room in it, then you'll make a whole
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			lot more money, and then you'll build the
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			entire masjid, and you'll do all these things,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			and you'll go on Hajj and Umrah, and
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			do all of these things. We'll do a
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			100 different things, and then afterward we'll accept
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			we'll expect Allah
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			to accept them. Brothers and sisters,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			the one of the hikmas, one of the
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			the the wisdoms of Allah
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:21
			describing
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			those things, the deeds that a person will
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			have in their favor or against them being
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:26
			weighed,
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			and not counted, or not measured by volume,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			is that weight is an intrinsic property. You
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			can see 1, 2 things that are outwardly
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			the same volume, and one has more weight,
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			and the other has less weight. It's an
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			intrinsic property. You cannot look and ascertain the
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			weight of something by looking at it. There's
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			a hikmah, there's a wisdom in it. That
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			2 people will give the same dollar, one
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			of them will be a a a reason
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			for punishment with Allah and one of them
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			will be a reason of forgiveness with Allah
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			and one of them will be the a
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			reason of going to a very high Maqam
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			with Allah All 3 of them will be
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			completely different. This is something we need to
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			get it before we leave this world, lest
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			we show up,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			and we pile the steel pans with mountains
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			of deeds, but the weight is not even
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			the weight of a feather.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			Because when we sin brothers and sisters, I
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			can tell you we sin with complete
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			with compete purity of evil inside of our
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			hearts.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			When we do good deeds though, it's all
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:19
			watered down.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			I'm saying we. I'm including myself in this.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			This is something
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			Remind one another because the reminder helps the
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			believers. All of us need to remember this
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			because we're living amongst the people who literally
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			worship material goods. They literally worship material goods,
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			they worship money, and we've had the greatness
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			of that money come into our hearts. And
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			brothers and sisters, the money is not like
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45
			that. It's not in and of itself, you
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			spend it, and you're gonna go to Jannah.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			It doesn't work that way.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			Right? What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says?
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			The hadith of the Prophet
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			it's narrated, in Sahih Muslim, nonetheless, in which
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			Nabi
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			said,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			O people, Allah is pure, and He doesn't
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			accept anything other than that which is pure.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			Right? If it's going to be
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			uh-uh, watered down and adulterated in any way,
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			he's not gonna accept it. It's a very
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			explicit it's a very explicit pronouncement. You'll find
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			pronouncements like this all the way through the
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			Quran, all the way through the sunnah of
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			the Prophet They're not they're not rare by
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			any means. Right?
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			What did we say before?
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:29
			He doesn't accept
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			a charity from ill gotten wealth, hear what?
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:35
			Allah
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			is pure, and he doesn't accept. If it's
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			not pure, he's not gonna accept it. Allah
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			is pure, and he doesn't accept anything other
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			than that which is pure.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			So don't say this is something that's beyond
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			me.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			Allah said, What? Allah commanded the believers to
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			do the exact same thing that He commanded
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			the messengers to do.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			Right? This is not something that only the
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			prophets can do, and we you and I
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			can't do it.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			Generation
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			generation after generation of this Umma understood this,
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			and they lived their life to the best
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			of their ability according to this standard.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			It's something they got, for some reason we
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			don't get it. This is what? This is
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			that Allah
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:19
			commanded the, the the messengers, the prophets to
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			the same thing that he commanded the the
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			believers to the same thing he commanded the
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			messengers and the prophets.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			He said in
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			He said in and then quotes the holy
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			book of the of the holy Quran. He
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			says, oh, prophets, oh, messengers, eat from those
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			pure things that we gave to you and
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			do righteous deeds, and verily, I know all
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			of those things that you were you were
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			doing. And then
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			he quotes Allah
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			again, in Suratul Baqarah,
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			Who is the mukhatab before? It's the prophets,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			the messengers.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01
			Here the who is being addressed here?
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			The believers, those who believe, those who make
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			the claim that we believe.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			Eat from those pure things that we gave
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			to you in in in in sustenance and
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			in provision.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			Right? What? Only eat from the pure things.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21
			Only consume the pure things. Food only pure.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			Money only pure. That's a commandment from Allah
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. It's a farr. It's not
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			something that, oh, this guy is more taqwa
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			than me or whatever. These are the these
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			are the bases. These are the bases, these
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			are the foundations on which the structure of
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			sound iman is built.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			It says that, oh, you believe, eat from
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			those pure things that we have given to
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			you in provision.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			Then the prophet
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			after quoting these 2 ayaas,
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			he mentions a man who is
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			long in journey.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			Disheveled, dusty.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			That person is in a long journey, not
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			sitting in a car, but traveling like through
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			the desert on a camel or on foot.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			And that person is so far away from
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:22
			everything.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			That person is alone, so far away from
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
			everything that he's disheveled. He feels he feels
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:28
			uncomfortable,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			and he he, is dusty.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			He's his hair has dust, his beard. I've
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			I've lived in the before.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			Right? I've lived in the desert before.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			Dust and sound gets into everything.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			I still have certain things if I, like,
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			knock them against the wall, after like 7
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			years, dust will come out of them. From
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			just the the the the less than a
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			year I was in the Badia.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			So there's dust in everything. That person is
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			in that state. That person is in that
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			state, and he raises his hand in front
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			of the heavens, and he calls out, O
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			my Lord! O my Lord! He's making du'a.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			What's more pious than this? What's more pious
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			than this? The person is alone, the person
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			is in a state of need, and he
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			is he is raising his hands in front
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			of the heavens.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			Right? Uh-uh. There's a
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			not the mufasser, although the mufasser is a
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			mufasser, and the mufasser is a mufasser also,
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			but there's uh-uh one Ahmed
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			who wrote
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			a commentary, it's one of the canonical commentaries
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			on Sahih Muslim called Al Mufim. Right? He
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			writes and comment on this hadith. He says
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			that the the the snippet
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			that the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam mentioned
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			a man who is long in travel,
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			long in sojourn.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			From the from the way the hadith is
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:47
			being being,
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:48
			narrated,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			that it's clear that this person is not
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			because person doesn't go through that much difficulty
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			or that much trouble to go and do
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			like average things. The only reason a person
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			would undertake a journey in which they would
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			go through so much difficulty is what? Is
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			Hajj or or Jihad
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			or something that's
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			of dire importance. Something of dire importance. Meaning
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			that the journey itself is a journey of
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			obedience to Allah
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			If you read in the old days, people
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			didn't go from Bukhara
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			to, you know, Andalusia
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			for free. They only used to do it
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			what? Either because it's a hajj journey, or
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			because they're going to seek knowledge for the
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			sake of Allah ta'ala or for Jiadf
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			People didn't use you know, maybe kings have
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			the luxury of doing those things. Even kings
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			have to look after their kingdoms. You can't
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			just go travel for no reason. So this
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			hadith is what? Imagine the guy is,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			he's disheveled and he's dusty, and he's spreading
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			his hands in front of this guy alone
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			in the desert and asking, oh my Lord,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			oh my Lord, he's making du'a. What could
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			be more pious and what could be more
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			acceptable to the Lord than that? But what
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:50
			did the Prophet
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			mention? He says, he says, what? But his
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			his his food is haram,
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			and his drink is haram, and his clothing
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			is haram, and his
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:04
			nurturing, his body grew on the food and
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			drink of haram. And then the prophet
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			asked a question. What's the question he asked?
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			He asked a rhetorical question. He says,
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			How is Allah going to accept his du'a?
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			How is Allah going to accept his du'a?
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			This is not a joke brothers and sisters.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			This is real. This is happening to our
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			ummah, it's happening to us. If it's not
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:26
			happening to you, make du'a for me. It's
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			happening to all of us right now. That
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			we do this and we say, how come
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			we're not finding success like other people found
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			success? But when it comes to taking the
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			money, when it comes to eating and drinking,
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			we make all sorts of compromises.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			And the same question can be asked about
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			us, that when we cry at the katham
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			of the Quran, when we read
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			when we go for Hajj, when we go
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			for Umrah, when we fast the long summer
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			days,
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			and Ramadan, when we do all of these
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			things, and then the heart breaks, why is
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			my dua'an not being answered? Why don't I
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			feel spirituality? Why isn't this happening? Why isn't
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			that happening? What's the answer to that question?
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:04
			How does a person is tainted every single
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:07
			means that Allah gave him, or her, tainted
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			every single means and never cared
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			to ask, is this thing something sound or
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			not? Is this thing pleasing to my Lord
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			or not? Then how is that du'a going
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			to be answered? This is not something we
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			say we mentioned to browbeat one another. It's
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			something we can change, all of us can
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			change it. And brothers and sisters to be
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			very frank with you, one of the the
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			the the the most, poignant and salient parts
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			of making sure your means is halal is
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			the food that you eat. And that is
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			the issue that we have turned into a
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			complete and utter joke.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			If someone mentions is this halal or not,
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			it either becomes a joke or someone will
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			tell person, Very seriously, brother, don't talk about
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			this, you're causing fitna.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			What is the fitna? Okay. What is the
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			fitna? I'll tell you what the fitna is.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			Allah revealed in suratul
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			the last ayah in which there's an order
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			in the Quran. What is an order? A
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			hukum and amr. Right? There are ayah that
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			are orders from Allah
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			The last order that is revealed in the
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			Quran
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			was revealed in the ayah of Surat Al
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:02
			Maeda.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			Brothers and sisters, this ayah, what is it
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			about? It's about meat.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			What is it about? It's about meat.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:43
			Allah
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			says what? It's been made haram for you
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			to eat the carrion, the unslaughtered meat, and
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			to eat blood, and to eat the flesh
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			of swine, and to eat that thing that
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			was slaughtered for other than Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			ta'ala, and that thing which was
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			asphyxiated,
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			that thing which was beaten to death, that
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			thing that fell from a height, that thing
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			which was, gored, that thing that was eaten
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			by a wild animal except for any of
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			these if you can get to them and
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			slaughter them before they die, their death.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			And And that thing that was,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			slaughtered on the altars of idolatry,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			and that you should, take things by casting
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			lots. All of these things are profligacy.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			This day, the people who,
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			disbelieve have given up hope in your deen,
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			so don't fear them and fear me. Allah
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			says, don't fear them, fear me. Right? Imam
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			Zamakhshari, who is
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			one of the most brilliant mufasidin of the
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			Quran, his
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			tafsir of the Quran is
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			a a standard for,
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:43
			linguistical
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			analysis of the Quran. Right? It's
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			a standard for the linguistical analysis of the
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			Quran. What does he say when what does
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			he say? It means that that that Allah
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			says here that this day, the people who
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			disbelieve have given up hope that they can
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			mess with your deen. What does it mean?
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:00
			He says,
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			That the people who disbelieve, the reason they
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			give up hope is because all of these
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17
			disgusting and filthy things that are mentioned as
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:17
			haram,
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			because you have given them up, now Shaitan
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			doesn't have a way of attacking you anymore.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:25
			You're secure. You're fine. You're you're in a
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			a good state now. You're protected.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			You're never going to make those haram things
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			halal again. As long as you don't do
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			that, they're not gonna be able to assail
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			your deen. The is
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			what? And if you start taking these hadith
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			things into yourself, then shaitan has a way
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			of attacking you. So you also should fear
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			them as well because they have a way
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			of getting to you.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			This is something this is not a joke,
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			this is something very real.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:48
			Allah
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			continues, Immediately after that, what did he say?
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			This day I have perfected your religion.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			And I have completed my favor upon you.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			And I have been pleased with Islam for
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			you as a deen. Now your deen is
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			complete. Now your deen is complete.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			What does the the the hadith of Sahih
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			Bukhari said, no, Amir
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:14
			during his caliphate, he mentions that a Yahudi
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			came to him. He said to him, oh,
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:16
			is
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			it true that there's a a part of
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			your Quran in which it said
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			that and the Sadna Omar
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			who said to to this yahudi, he says,
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			yes, it's true. There is a part of
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			our book that says that, that Allah says,
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			Today I have,
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			I've perfected for you your religion, and completed
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			my favor upon you, and chosen Islam for
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			you as a deen. This Yahudi said to
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			say, Naammar alayhi wa hanhu, he said, O
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:42
			Amir Mumineen,
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:46
			if this if this ayah was revealed upon
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			us, the Jews, it would have been such
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:48
			a
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			honor for us, we would have made that
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			day into an Eid. We would have made
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			that day into an Eid. What did Sayna
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			Amr
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			say to him? Says, wallahi, I was there
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			when this ayah came down on the Messenger
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			of Allah
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			and he was in Arafat
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04
			on the day of
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:08
			in the sacred land. That this this ayah
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			came down upon him to say, what? This
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			was not just 1 Eid, it was several
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			Eids put together.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			It was several Eid put together. It was
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16
			literally the most sacred hour of the nubuah
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			of the Prophet
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			is what he's trying to say. To who?
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:23
			To this yahudi, to this Jew who is
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			talking with great adab to Sayna, Umar
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			What does this mean? Is this an important
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29
			matter or is this not an important matter?
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			This is a very important matter. This is
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:35
			not something to dismiss and to throw away.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			This is a matter even if you have
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			an opinion about it. That's different than my
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			opinion.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			It is something that all of us should
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:44
			be,
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			happy to show some sort of scrupulousness, and
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51
			some sort of caution about. Even if you
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			think something is halal, but there's something better,
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			it's worthwhile being cautious for it. Why? Because
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			if it turns out you're wrong, the
		
00:30:59 --> 00:30:59
			the
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:00
			the,
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			destruction of this will not just be in
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			that one deed that you'll be punished for
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			that one deed that you did something wrong.
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			It will go and pervade and spoil all
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			of your good deeds just like that one
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			drop of urine spoils the entire cooler of
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:15
			of drink. Just like that. It makes it
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18
			completely undrinkable, it makes it a complete waste.
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			Just like that, any small amount of
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			in your in your food, in what you
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			eat, and what you drink, it will completely
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:28
			destroy all of the other things. Literally the
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:28
			salaf
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			whom used to say what? They said, We
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:31
			consider
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			being sure that everything I ate and drank
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:36
			in the day is halal, to be better
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:39
			than praying the entire night tahajjud, than praying
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			the entire night tahajjud. And the person who
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			eats halal, their body will wake up, because
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:46
			halal carries a person to the halal, and
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			haram carries a person to haram, that the
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			person who hates the person who hates foul
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:53
			speech, the person who hates lying and cheating,
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			that haram will carry them toward it even
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			against themselves, even against their own wishes. May
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:58
			Allah
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			give all of us.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			It's okay if you give up eating meat
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:05
			one day, once in your life, and it's
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			seems so bad, Allah will reward you for
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			it. No one will die of hunger in
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			this country, I promise you, we will not
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			die of hunger in this country. Allah is
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			the razzat, wherever you are in the world,
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:15
			in this country no one will die of
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			hunger.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			Okay. It's okay if you went hungry one
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			time, you controlled yourself one time, there's nothing
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			wrong with it. I haven't I I I
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24
			have been I've you I've used to go
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			weeks without eating meat. I used to go
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			weeks without Am I starving to death?
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			I spend probably half of the week outside
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			of my house. I don't have a place
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			to eat a drink. I'm not I don't
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			have a place where I can be sure
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			of what what I'm eating, is it halal
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			or not. Am I starving to death? Allah
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:44
			provides for everybody, brothers and sisters.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			Don't fear them. He says what? In that
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			same eye, he says, don't fear them. Fear
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			Me. Allah says, don't fear them. Fear Me.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			The people have given up hope that they
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			can assail your deen. Don't fear them. Fear
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			Me. Don't fear them. Fear
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			Allah May Allah
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			make us amongst those whose means are purified,
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			and whose means are pure. That if we
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			give a lot for the deen of Allah,
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			or a little, whatever we give, may Allah
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			purify it and make it clean, and something
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			that's acceptable. May Allah accept from us whatever
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			we do is large or small. May forgive
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			us whatever came before. May give us to
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			to to to to have the courage, and
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			to have the strength to to rectify those
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			things in our lives that need rectification.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			And may Allah make it a means to
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			multiply the rewards of our good deeds.
