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 1ยข 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.
