AI: Summary ©

The importance of praise to Allah's authority and deeds is emphasized, with a focus on the individual's heart rather than the degree to which they test themselves. The negative impact of the idea of a clean slate and the potential consequences of it on social and political events are also discussed. The difficulty of achieving success in Islam is highlighted, along with the importance of avoiding negative comments and making massively positive decisions. The speaker emphasizes the need to work hard and not give up until one's deeds are met, and to test one's faith and understand their experiences. The importance of not giving too much forbearance or knowledge to avoid overwhelming challenges in life is also emphasized.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			All praises to Allah.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			All praises to Allah.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			All praises to Allah who guided us to
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			this,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			who guided us to Islam and to iman
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			and to his Mubarak house on this Mubarak
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			hour of this Mubarak day, and we were
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			not to be guided.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			All praise is to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			in commensurate with the majesty of his countenance
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			indeed, greatness of your his authority.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			Oh Allah to his praise as his commensurate
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			with the majesty of your countenance and the
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			greatness of your authority.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			Oh, we do not limit you with any
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			praise we can come up with ourselves. Rather,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			we admit that you're the only one who
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			knows the true extent of your praise worthy.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			And may the peace and blessings of Allah
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon his servant and
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:53
			master,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			our Lord, Sayed Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			May the peace and blessings of Allah, subhanahu
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			wa ta'ala,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			be upon our servant and master, Sayidam Muhammad
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam, and upon his noble companions
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			and upon his pure wives and upon his
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:08
			and
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			blessed family and progeny and upon all of
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			those who follow all of their way until
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			the day of judgement.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			Brothers and sisters, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			asked
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			in a hadith by saying Assad bin Abu
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			Akas,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:24
			who narrates
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			was asked by who is from
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			the from
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			amongst the noble men of Quresh, from amongst
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			the original people who accepted Islam, from amongst
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			the close relatives of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			sallam. And those companions who are with Rasool
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam through thick and thin
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			through all of his life. And from amongst
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			those who have great authority amongst the people
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			of Islam, and and amongst the Sahaba
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			after Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam passed from
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			this world.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			He was
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			a warrior, and he was a tough guy.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:30
			He's a very
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			accomplished swordsman and soldier, and he was someone
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			that the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:38
			captained
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			commanded position in military matters, and he was
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			someone who was looked up to by the
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			companions of the Messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:47
			wa sallam.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			He asked the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:50
			wa sallam,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			who are those people amongst thee?
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			Amongst this ummah who are going to be
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			tested the most severely?
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			Who are the people amongst this ummah who
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			are gonna be tested the most severely? Who
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			are the people from amongst Allah ta'ala's creation
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			who are going to be tested the most
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			severely? Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, the
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:09
			prophets.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			Then those who are most like them, and
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			then after that those who are most like
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			them. Meaning, the degree to which you
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			resemble
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			one of those people from Allah
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			the best of his creation.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			That's the degree to which you tested. And
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			the less the resemblance is, the less the
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			test is
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			Nabi further says, Whoever's deen is solid.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			Whoever's deen is solid, whoever's deen is firm,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			that person will be tested very severely and
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:43
			very harshly.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			And whoever is deen is weak,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			whoever cannot take a whole lot, Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			wa ta'ala will test that person less harshly,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:52
			less severely.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			This is not physical
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			physical ability to take hardship.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			Because indeed some of the people who are
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			physically strongest
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			are mentally and spiritually weakest.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			And some of the people are physically weakest
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			are mentally and spiritually the strongest.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			The amount of pain most women go through
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:09
			in childbirth,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			Many men will never experience that amount of
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			pain nor would they be able to handle
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			themselves or keep their composure if they're exposed
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			to it. It's not about physical
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			strength and and and and and,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			physical toughness. It's about what? It's about the
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			strength in a person's heart, and the strength
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			that a person is able to take for
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			What is the reason for this? Test.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			What is the reason for this? This this
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			state that Allah test
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			the most
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			people who are most like the mbya alayhi
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			who salahu alaihi wasalam the most, and test
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			the people whose being is solid the most?
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			Is it because Allah
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			wishes for the people who love him to
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			live a horrible and miserable life?
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			Is it because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wishes
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			to reward those people who disobey him and
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			wishes to,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			punish the people who obey him and who
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			love him? That's not the reason.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			That's not the reason. And this is an
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			idea, a wrong idea that we have in
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			our own heads. This is an idea many
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			of us carry around with us. Most of
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			us have the common sense not to say
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			it out loud in front of other people
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			because it will make for awkward conversations at
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			dinner parties, and it will make
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:17
			for
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			socially
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			unacceptable
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			situations to happen. This is not the reason
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			that
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			comes sit on the road with Muslims.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			The reason is not because Allah
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			wishes to what? Wishes to punish the, the
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			people who love him. The reason itself is
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			mentioned at the end of the hadith.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			What is it?
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			It's because Allah
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			wishes the akhirah to be for those people
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			who love him. He wishes them to enter
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			without any sin on their head. He wishes
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			them to enter with a clean slate.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			Every difficulty you go through with iman, Allah
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			subhanahu wa ta'ala writes for you a good
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			deed because of it. Every difficulty you go
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			through with iman, Allah ta'ala erases a sin
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			that you've committed because of it. Allah subhanahu
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			wa ta'ala erases your rate because of it.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			If you do not believe in the
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			this deen will make very little sense to
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			you. If you do not remember the
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			this deen will be very tedious for you
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			to follow.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			But if you understand that this is the
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			niram of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that he
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			gives the people of Kufr all of their
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			reward in this world, so they show up,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			You Muqtiamah empty handed. And that he gives
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			the people of iman
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			difficulty, so they show up, You Muftiama, a
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			sinless. Then it will make sense to you.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			Allah's humble on the people of this is
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			what? It's doubled.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			One is that he will erase your sins
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			from you, from his love through this tribulation
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			and test in this world so that you
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			don't show so that you show up with
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:47
			him.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			It's a clean slate. The second thing is
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			when he gives you in this world, he
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			doesn't charge for you charge you for it.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			It doesn't deduct from your good deeds. A
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			kafir, what he receives from this world, it
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			is a a reward for his good deeds
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			so that he had no good deed.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			Here he just gives you something to get
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			by. Here he gives you what? He just
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			gives you something to get by. This same
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			concept of this hadith is elaborated by
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			who narrates a similar saying from the messenger
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:16
			of Allah
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			when he was ill, when he was in
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:20
			his
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			illness of death before he was about to
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			pass from this world.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			And it's known that he was in great
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:27
			pain
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			when he was dying.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			Is narrated
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			he entered upon the messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			alaihi wa sallam when he was he was
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			he was in severe pain from the illness
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			of his death.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			The illness that he would die from, he
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			was in severe pain. And he was covered
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			with a thick blanket.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			A person can imagine that somebody who is
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			in the Arabian Peninsula, a place that is
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			very rarely cool.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			For them to be under a blanket means
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			what? That the person is extremely ill. That
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			he's covered with a very big blanket Said,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			Abu Saeed al
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			Khudr said, I placed my hand on Rasulullah
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			from above the blanket.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			And I said, you Rasoolallah, your fever has
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			become
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			very very very strong.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			Your fever has become very strong. You're extremely
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			ill. You're extremely sick.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			He said
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:12
			what?
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			He says, This is the way that difficulty
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			is put upon us, and this is the
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			way that our reward is multiplied with Allah
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:21
			Which is what?
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			This is Rasulullah
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:24
			of
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:25
			Allah
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			a'ala system. This is Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			sallam bearing witness to the system of Allah
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. That what? He didn't say,
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			oh, yes. I this is horrible. I hate
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			this. Why me? Why am I going through
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			this? It would have been nice if I
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			wasn't sick. It would have been nice if
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			this happened. Would it no. He says,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			this is the way that
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			difficulty is made severe upon us, and this
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			is the way that our reward is multiplied,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			This is something very important.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			There is something in the deen of a
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:57
			person called
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			What is
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			That you must struggle with difficulty.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			You must struggle with difficulty.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:05
			Unfortunately,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			many of the people who have stood on
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			the member of rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			have sold our community snake oil and have
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			told them, yes, everything is easy, everything will
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			be easy. Some of them said, what? Don't
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			make your deen difficult.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			Don't worry about their strict adherence to the
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			shara of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Don't make
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			your dream difficult for yourself. Make everything easy.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30
			Some of the people have said, no. No.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			No. Practice the sharia and everything will be
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			easy. Don't worry about it. The fact of
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:37
			the matter is what? The hadith very clearly
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			indicates that the person who is the closest
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			in their character, and in their disposition, and
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			in their faith to Rasulullah
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			alaihi wa sallam, that person, it's not going
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			to be a source of their deen being
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			made easy. In fact, it will be a
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			reason for their deen being even more difficult
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			for them going through even more difficulty.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			Again, it's very important to understand why what's
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			happening is happening.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, one of the
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			the methodologies
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			used in pedagogy to teach was what? He
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			would tell people the reason why they're doing
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			what they're doing.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			The difficulty is going to be there. Is
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			part of the deen of Islam.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			Anyone who ever tells you in the dunya
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			that you will get something without working hard
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			for it, that person is lying to you
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			and cheating you. And anyone who tells you
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			that you're going to get something easily when
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			you die. With Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it's
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			an even bigger lie and even bigger cheat.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			And anyone who tells something, you're going to
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			receive something in the akhirah forever and ever.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			Without some sort of difficulty, that person is
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			even bigger liar, even bigger cheater. Rather if
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			something is worth having, it's worth working for.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			And then Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam taught
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:40
			us
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			what? Why we're going through these difficulties that
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:45
			we're going through. Trust me, just having, you
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			know,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			some crazy guy show up on TV or
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			several crazy people show up on TV and
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			say something bad about your community
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			or somebody else something out of a moving
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			take that crack at you while you're walking
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			down the street. This is not good. It's
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			not a fun thing. It's not something that
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			we look forward to. But trust me, it's
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			not the most difficult thing that Muslims have
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			gone through.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			Not today nor in the in the past.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			Not today, nor in the past. Not in
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			this land, nor in any other land. There
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			were people who were brought here in chains.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			There were people who were lashed to death,
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			who were taken away from their homeland, from
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			their from their from their family. There
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			were who were chained and brought here as
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			slaves. You're going through nothing compared to what
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			they went through.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			But still, what they went through, their reward
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			is with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. What you're
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			going through, your reward is with Allah ta'ala.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			Looking at the immigration Canada website and trying
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			to run away from it, it's not going
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			to help you at all.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			A, when you run, you're running from the
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			father of Allah ta'ala to the father of
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			Allah ta'ala. You're running from your destiny to
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			your destiny. If the difficulty is going to
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			catch up with you, it's gonna find you.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			It'll find you wherever you are. Wherever you
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			are. Even if you're sitting in secure security
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			in in in a warm room in your
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			bed and in your blanket, the difficulty will
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			find you one way or the other. The
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			second thing is what? Even if you evade
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			the difficulty, if you evade the mujahada,
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			what are you evading? You're evading the mercy
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. You're evading the
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			forgiveness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Truly cursed
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			is somebody who is able to evade Allah
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			Ta'ala's mercy. That mercy which covers every single
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			thing, and covers every single person in this
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			world and it will cover the ones that
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			he loves in the hereafter. Truly, this is
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			a sign of a bad faith,
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			of of of having a bad faith and
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			having very little,
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			luck and having very little, in the way
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			of providential,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			gift that a person should be able to
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			run away from the
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			of Allah and the of Allah So when
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			who cannot take how much difficulty he's going
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			through. What does he say? He says, this
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			is the way we are tested. And this
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			is the way Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala multiplies
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:54
			our reward. Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Then said,
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			he asked a question from,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			which is very similar to the question of
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			He says, who are the people who are
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			most tested? You know the answers to prophets
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			and those people who are like the prophets,
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasalam answers the question slightly
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:12
			differently
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			here. He says, You Rasoolah, who are the
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			people who are most tested? He says, alayhi
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:17
			wassalam.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			Then he's asked, then who? Then he says
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			the The people of knowledge.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			Why? Because
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			The ulama are the inheritors of the prophets
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			alayhi musaatoasalam.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			The ulama are the inheritors of the prophets
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			alayhi musaatoasalam.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			Those people? Who is that class of people
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			in this that are most like the prophets?
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			So the people of knowledge. This is part
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:49
			of our. As a side note, if there's
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			anybody who walks around and says, yes. The
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:52
			the
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			backwards messed up this
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			and these backwards people, blah blah blah. If
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			someone chose Allah chose someone to carry the
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			book of Allah to Allah in his heart,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			and chose someone to carry the hadith of
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			and his knowledge in his heart, and chose
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			someone to carry that knowledge of fiqh and
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			sharia in their heart, and you have a
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			bad opinion of them, you have a bad
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			opinion of those people who Allah and his
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			Rasool, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam love. Because the
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			not just in these 2 ahadith, but in
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			many places explicitly corroborates that what? The ulama
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			are the people who are most like the
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			and they are the one who discharge the
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			function in this that's most like
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			the
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			Says then who? He said,
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			who who after the He said, the.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			The righteous people. Who are the? They are
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			the people who religiously keep the commandments of
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			our sacred Sharia,
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			And everything they do, and it that they
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			abstain from by day and night through their
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			eyes, through their tongues, through what they eat
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			and drink, through what they touch, through what
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			they feel, through what they do as a
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			living, through how they earn their living, all
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			of these things. The people who do that,
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			they are what? They are the salihun. Nabi
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			then elaborates. He says regarding this group of
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			people, he says that one of them one
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			of them is such a person that even
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			if he were to be,
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			tested, his test would be so severe that
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			it would be something like,
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			being eaten by ticks.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			Can you imagine what that is? A tick
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			is a small insect. So is one tick
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			able to eat an entire person?
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			No.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			Imagine an infestation like they said that there
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			are people that were tested so severely that
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			they would one of them would be eaten
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			by tick ticks. And another man would be
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			tested so severely
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			by poverty that he would find nothing to
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			wear except for, like, an overcoat.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			Imagine someone only had, like, an overcoat or
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			a trench coat. That's all they had to
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:44
			wear. No shirt. No pants. That's how broke
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			they were, that they could only find an
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			irregular piece of clothing in order to clothe
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			their nakedness. None of us is going through
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			that type of difficulty.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			None of us is going through that type
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			of difficulty.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			This is the way Allah test the people
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			that he loves.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:56
			And
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			says one more thing on top of it.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			He says one more thing on top of
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			it. He says,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			That these are such people. Their iman is
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			such. Remember, we talk about mujahada struggling, and
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			we talk about mujahada, bearing witness to the
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			system of Allah ta'ala. That one person is
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			struggling, and they wonder why me. And another
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			person struggles, and everyone thinks this person is
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			crazy because of how happy they are and
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			how peaceful they are with Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			ta'ala. Not just peaceful.
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:26
			Some people,
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			how much
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			ecstasy they have, how what an ecstatic state
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			they have because of their knowledge of the
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			maqam they have with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			That one of them would be in such
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			a state, and he would be even happier
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			with such a state than one of you
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			would have been had someone given them a
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			great amount of money or given them a
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			great gift.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			Why? Because they understand who it's coming from,
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			what's going on, and who it's coming from.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			It's coming from Allah
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			All of this is for the good.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			All of this is for the khair. All
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			of the difficulty, all of this stuff you
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			see on the news, and it depresses people.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			All of these things people challenge, say bad
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			things about you, say bad things about your
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			deen, say bad things about about our women,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			say bad things about our forefathers, say bad
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			things about the deen of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			ta'ala. All of these things are good.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			And the people in the past, they saw
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			the good because they saw who it's coming
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			from.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			Nabi alayhi saw to Islam
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			and a hadith could see that he narrates.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			Right? He in a hadith could see that
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			he narrates such brought by, Imam Hakim
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			and his and is narrated by Saidna Abdardah
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:29
			radiAllahu
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33
			radiAllahu radiAllahu radiAllahu further elaborates what is this?
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			This happiness that the people have when they're
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			going through difficulty.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:40
			Right? Think about it for a second. Think
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			about you yourself, because, oh, that's great, There's
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			some pious people in the past and blah
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			blah blah. What does it have to do
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			with me? The answer to the question is
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			something that's variable with every person. Maybe it
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			has nothing to do with you. If you
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			don't look forward to having that happiness with
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, that howl with Allah
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, maybe it has nothing to
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			do with you. Maybe this khutbah is completely
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:58
			irrelevant.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			Everybody should at least close their eyes for
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			a second, and make sincere dua to Allah
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Whether you get eaten alive
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			by ticks or not is not what you're
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			supposed to ask for. But you make dua
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			to Allah to Allah. Yeah. Allah give me
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			a howl with you also,
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			that I'm pleased with you because you're pleased
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			with me as well.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			And so hadith narrated
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			by, Imam Hakim,
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			in his narrated
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			by
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			said, I heard Abu Kasim, the prophet, the
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:35
			messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam say,
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			oh, Isa. He's
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			Says, yeah,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:49
			Isa.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			So, Risa, I will raise an ummah. I
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			will raise an ummah after you, such an
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			ummah that when something they love happens, something
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			that they like happens, they will praise, and
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:05
			they will be thankful. And if something difficult
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			or something that they dislike happens to them,
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			they will they will hope for reward from
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			Allah and they will be
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			they will they will hope for reward from
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			Allah
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			and they will be patient.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			And they are people who have no forbearance,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			and they are people who have no knowledge.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:23
			This is an interesting
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			interesting statement. That there are people who have
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			no forbearance and they have no knowledge. So
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			if you're listening also, you'll also wonder how
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			are they going to be able to cope
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			with all this and have such a high
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			if they have no forbearance and no knowledge.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			Says and he said, Naysa alaihis salam himself,
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			he said, what? He said, oh my lord.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			So how are they gonna be able to
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			cope with all of this difficulty and have
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			such a good response to the difficulties that
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			they're given despite the fact that they have
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			no forbearance, no good character, nor any nor
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:53
			any knowledge?
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say?
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			Allah ta'ala says, I myself will give them
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			from what? I myself will give them from
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			my hillm.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			From my hillm, from my forbearance. Allah ta'ala
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			is Al Khalim. I will give them for
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			my and I will give them for my
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			I will give them for my forbearance, I
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			will give them for my knowledge.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			Now tell me something,
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			whose whose good character and forbearance is superior
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			to that of Allah
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			Whose good character and forbearance is even able
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			to resemble that of Allah
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			ta'ala from the creation?
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			Whose knowledge is able to resemble the knowledge
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			of Allah subhanahu ta'ala from his creation? Who's
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			going to stand and say, I have a
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			PhD from Harvard. My aim is greater than
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			anyone who created the heavens and the earth
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			from nothing.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			This is a special gift Allah gave to
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:45
			this ummah.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			This is the help of Allah This
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:51
			is why this Umma has survived from that
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			time until this time.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			This is why
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			Allah no matter how difficult things get, the
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			more difficulty there is, the more help that
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			comes from Allah
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			And the help of Allah is superior to
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			the help that you and I can give
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:04
			ourselves.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			This is the meaning of what? One of
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:10
			them would be even happier with the difficulty
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			Allah gave them than one of you would
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			have been with the gift that Allah gave
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17
			you. Why? Because they prefer
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			the over
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			the themselves, over their own forbearance, and over
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			their own good character.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			Now, tell me something,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			if you wish, if you desire, if you
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			don't desire for the of Allah to enter
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			into your heart, then I apologize, you should
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			have gone to the other, the one at
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			12 o'clock. But if you desire that the
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			end of the hand of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			Ta'ala should enter into your heart,
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			should beautify your heart, should be like the
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			other guests inside of your heart that you
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			wish would never leave. If you have this
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			desire, how is it going to enter into
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			your heart if your heart is not clean?
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			If your heart is dirty,
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			if your heart is filthy,
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			if you love money more than you love
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			your brother, if you love money more than
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			you love salah, if you love having a
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			nice car more than you love having this
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			knowledge, if you love having a certain position
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			in your corporation more than you love,
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			having a position with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			If your heart is
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			dirty, if your heart what is dirty? Things
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			are outside of their place. Right? What is
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			the place of the heart? The only thing
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			that the heart was made for is the
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			law of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			If your heart is dirty, if everything is
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			in disarray and in a mess, how do
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			you expect this to come? If your heart
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:26
			is polluted by looking at the Haram and
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			by listening to the Haram,
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			and by touching the Haram, and by eating
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			and drinking the Haram, how do you expect
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			this help to come?
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't give you from
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			his him and from his ilm just because,
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			and and I'm from Pakistan, and I'm from
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			India, of course, Allah ta'ala would help us.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			And I'm beautiful, and I'm smart. I read
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			I prayed one time. How are you gonna
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			have this enter into your heart? Brothers and
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			sisters, the challenges in front of this community,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			the challenges in front of this community are
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:56
			overwhelming.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			Whoever is telling you that, oh, it will
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			be okay, don't worry, just go back to
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			your business right now, that person is trying
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			to put you to sleep before your slaughter.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			This community is going to go through great
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			difficulty. Our sheikh and teacher, sheikh Amin, who
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			gives kufa here from time to time as
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			well, he very simply said it. Because whoever
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			here is to make money, if your purpose
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			is like, I'm just gonna, like, lay low,
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			pray my father has any prayers, make as
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			much money as I can. I'm just trying
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			to pay off this house. I'm just trying
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			to do this, that, and the other thing.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23
			Right? He says, if you're here for the
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26
			sake of Allah, you'll be just fine. Whoever
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			is here to milk the fat cow, you're
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			in trouble.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			I'm putting on notice, lose some sleep at
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			night, you're in trouble. It's not gonna happen.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			It's not gonna work. It's all gonna fall
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			apart. If you're here for the sake of
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			Allah ta'ala, this is a beautiful gift from
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			him. That there was a time maybe 2
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			weeks ago you thought you would have been
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:44
			able to get by without worrying about your
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			state with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Now everybody's
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			back is to the wall, and everybody is
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			saying, oh my goodness. This does not look
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			like looking like it's gonna be good. I
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			need to shore up and tighten up and
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			clean up my house with Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:55
			ta'ala.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			If you just received that gift from Allah
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			Allah then all of it is worth it.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			All of it is something to be happy
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			about and thankful for. Whatever that you see
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			in front of you, don't run away from
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			it. Embrace it. Make it into your friend.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			It will give you a you that's better
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			than the you you already have. Allah
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			give all of us so much
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:16
			tofim.
