All praises to Allah, all praises to Allah,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

all praises to Allah, who guided us to

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

this, who guided us to Islam, and guided

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

us to imam, and who guided us to

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

his Mubarak house

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

on this Mubarak hour, this Mubarak day, and

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

we were not to be guided. Was it

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

not that Allah had guided us?

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

Oh, Allah, to you is praise as is

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

commensurate with the majesty of your countenance and

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

the greatness of your authority.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

Oh, Allah, we do not limit you with

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

any praise we can come up with ourselves

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

rather we admit that you are the only

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

one who knows the true extent of your

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

praise worthiness.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

And may the peace and blessings of Allah

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon his servant and

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

messenger, our master, Sayna Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

sallam. May the peace and blessings of Allah

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon him, and upon

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

his noble companions and upon his pure wives

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

and upon his Mubarik and blessed family and

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

progeny and upon all of those who follow

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

all of their way until the day of

00:03:04 --> 00:03:04

judgement.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in his book,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

do not ever lose hope in the mercy

00:03:10 --> 00:03:14

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah ta'ala forgives

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

all sins. A person

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

should be concerned with their actions, they should

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

be concerned with their works, they should be

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

concerned with their good deeds, and they should

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

be concerned with their sins. They should be

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

concerned with their good deeds. Why?

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

Because they will be

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

the key that opens blessings for them in

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

this world, and the key that opens

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

blessings for them in a high rank with

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on the day of

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

judgment and the hereafter.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

They should be concerned with their good works

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

because those are the things by which they

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

purchased the and the grace of Allah subhanahu

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

wa ta'ala.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

And they should be concerned with their sins.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:48

Why?

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

Because their sins are those things that tarnish

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

the heart, that rest the heart. If a

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

person knows with a car, if you have

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

rust on the body of the car, what

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

can you do? You can take sandpaper, and

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

you can

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

wipe the rust off. You can scrape the

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

rust off, and then you can paint over

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

that place where the car was rusted, and

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

the car is not going to rust further

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

from that point, it's going to be sealed

00:04:12 --> 00:04:12

afterward.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

If the paint chips in a place, and

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

it starts to rust, you can take sandpaper

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

and sand the rust out, and the car

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

won't rust anymore. However, if you leave that

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

rust there, you don't take care of it,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

you don't sand it, what's going to happen?

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

The car will rust more and more and

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

more. Sometimes the chip is not from the

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

outside of the body, it's from the inside

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

of the body. Person doesn't know what's going

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

on in the inside. By the time the

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

rust comes from the inside out, you can

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

see that the, there then becomes a hole

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

in the body of the car. Why? Because

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

it's rusted completely. It's rusted thorough thoroughly. It's

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

rusted from the inside out. There's nothing you

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

can do about it. The heart is like

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

that. A person who commits a sin,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:52

right?

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

This is not just a clever,

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

a clever metaphor that a preacher makes by

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

which he plies his trade. This is in

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

fact the metaphor that's given to you by

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

the book of Allah

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

Nay, indeed, this arraigned, this rust has

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

encrusted and encased the hearts. Why? Because of

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

those bad deeds,

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

because of those evil deeds that people used

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

to do.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

This rust is something if you don't iron

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

it out, the sin itself is not going

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

to harm Allah

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

This is part of the hubris,

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

this is part of the ego, this is

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

part of the

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

and the, the self aggrandizement of human beings

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

that they think what they do is really

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

important and it's somehow really, going to affect

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

things and change things. Right? You think we

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

think we're gonna destroy the earth, so we

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

should be environmentalist so that we can save

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

the earth. What does the what does the

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

dean teach us? The dean teaches us what?

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

Everything you take from the earth, you'll be

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

questioned about it on the day of judgement.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

So turn the lights off. Don't take more

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

electricity than you need. Why? Because you'll be

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

questioned about every kilowatt hour and minute, and

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

second that you used, and what's even less

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

than that, and what's even more than that.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

The dean teaches us, be careful about how

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

much water you use because you'll be asked

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

about every drop. And with every drop you

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

use, you'll be expected to have done something

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

useful with it. The deen teaches us, be

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

concerned with how much money you take from

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

this world because every cent of it, you're

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

going to have to give a give a

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

hisaab. Every cent of it, you're going to

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

have to give account for. Right? The deen

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

teaches us not to ask for more, but

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

to ask for not to ask for more

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

and more and more. The only thing that

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

keeps asking for more and more and more

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

is a cancer. We have several oncologists in

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

the in the in the in the crowd

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

today. You can ask them. That's the only

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

thing that asks for more without end. And

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

what does cancer do to a person? It

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

kills them. It sends them to the graveyard.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

You understand what I'm saying? It's not a

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

it's not a it's a, you know, it's

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

not something that's that's going to have a

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

long life, or it's not something that's gonna

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

last for a long time. The cancer kills

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

the host, it doesn't kill the entire world

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

around us. So we have so much hubris,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

we have so much ego, and so much

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

and we're so self aggrandized. We think we're

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

so important. That what? That we have to

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

save the earth. We have to save the

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

earth. Trust me. There's nothing that human beings

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

can do that's going to destroy the earth.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

There's nothing that that right now as of

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

yet, we haven't invented anything that destroy. If

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

we waste all the water, if we pollute

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

all the air, if we pollute all of

00:07:14 --> 00:07:14

the,

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

the the earth, and we you know, to

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

send toxicity into the earth, everything,

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

the earth will be just fine. The earth

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

will be just fine if we use all

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

the nuclear weapons, god forbid. I don't know

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

what Shaytan

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

inspired a human being to make something like

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

a nuclear weapon. I don't know which person,

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

you

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

know, slapped at night without making wudu for

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

God knows how many years, and you know,

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

ate filthy things, and thought filthy things, and

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

lived filthy things for so long that shaitan

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

would come inside their mind and say, hey,

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

it's a good idea. Why don't we make

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

something like this? But whatever, they made it,

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

and now they have enough power

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

to kill the entire population of the earth

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

in less time it takes

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

less time than it takes to order a

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

pizza from Domino's.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

Guess what? The Earth has survived worse than

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

that. The Earth has survived most worse than

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

that. If you read anything about, like, paleo,

00:08:05 --> 00:08:06

paleobiology,

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

they say that the, distinction

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

sorry, extinction events. There's these massive extinction events

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

that happen right, in the KT boundary and

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

etcetera. Like, all these, like, every something like

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

7 70000000 years. Right? A meteor will slam

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

into the earth that's, like, 6 miles wide.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

And they say that every time something like

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

that happens, there's a trauma that that they

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

theorize that occurred in the earth, which was

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

so harsh that it's something like a 1000

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

times worse than all of the nuclear blast

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

that the earth has ever that the earth

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

could make from the stock pile of weapons

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

that we have combined, a 1000 times that.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

What we have is enough to kill everybody,

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

those those those meteor slamming to the earth

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

were explosions that are a 1000 times worse.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

They say that those explosions were so horrible

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

that not only did it cause a, a

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

cloud of blackness to cover the earth, It

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

said that it rained molten molten rock. It

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

rained molten rock

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

for years after such a blast because of

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

the amount of heat that that was created

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

from that that destruction. And guess what? The

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

earth is just fine. Didn't happen once. It

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

happened probably happened half a dozen times.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

70, 80% of the species on the earth

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

are extinct from such an explosion, and the

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

earth is just fine. You're not gonna kill

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

the earth. I'm not gonna kill the earth.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:20

If you're gonna save someone, it's gonna be

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

yourself. In this world, your own children, in

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

this world, and the Aqirites yourself, you're gonna

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

save. You're not gonna save anybody.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

Right? So don't think your sins, your sins

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

are bad, my sins are bad.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

Okay? Your sins are bad, my sins are

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

bad because they're an active rebellion against Allah

00:09:35 --> 00:09:38

subhanahu wa ta'ala. Against the one who gave

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

you a mother and gave you a father.

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

Against the one against the one who was

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

the literally the mercy that that that that

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

that incubated you in the womb of your

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

mother. Who was literally the one who gave

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

you air and gave you water, who gave

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

you all of these things, who gave you

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

existence itself, who gave you existence itself,

00:09:57 --> 00:09:58

Who's the one who called you to his

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

way? Who's the one who forgave you every

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

time you asked him for forgiveness?

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

A person in Islam, is there any sin

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

that a person can sincerely make tawbah from?

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

Sincerely repent from that Allah will not forgive?

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

There is no such sin. If somebody says

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

there's such a sin, we say that person

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

has an problem. We say that this person

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

has an problem because they've invented against the

00:10:18 --> 00:10:19

deen of Allah

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

that which is not in it. Does not

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

Allah

00:10:23 --> 00:10:24

himself say what?

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

Right?

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

Don't give up hope in Allah

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

It's a commandment of the deen. Don't give

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

up hope

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

in Allah

00:10:33 --> 00:10:33

Why?

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

He forgives all sins. Your sins are never

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

going to be so much that they're gonna

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

harm Allah or anger him so much that

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

it's gonna overpower his mercy. It doesn't work

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

that way. It doesn't work that way. The

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

worst sin is the sin of shaitaan, which

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

is takampur. Allah told them,

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

prostrate in front of Adam

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

and he didn't do so. Why? Because his

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57

arrogance forbade him from obeying the commandment of

00:10:57 --> 00:10:57

Allah

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

That's what made him shaitaan.

00:11:00 --> 00:11:01

It's his arrogance.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

If your sins are so big in your

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

eyes, that's not a sign of humility. It's

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

a sign of arrogance. How will Allah forgive

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

me? My sins are so here. This is

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

a sign of arrogance. Such a person who

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

says such a thing or thinks such a

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

thing is.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

Why? Because your sins are nothing in front

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

of him. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who created

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

the heavens and the earth, the

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

that we live in, 15,000,000,000 light years from

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

the core to the edge of it. We're

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

one galaxy out of literally billions of galaxies,

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

and billions of galaxy clusters, and millions of

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

galaxies super clusters. We're smaller when compared to

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

the size of the than

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

than what a a a a a, grain

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

of sand is to us,

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

Not just a little bit smaller, much smaller,

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

much smaller.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

The size, it's very interesting how the creation

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

was made. It's very interesting how this creation

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

was made.

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

There is the,

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

the the the macro,

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

level of the universe, the size of galaxy

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

super clusters, etcetera, etcetera.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

And then there's the micro level of the

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

universe, which is what? Like photons and, like,

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

you know, like, when you get to the

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

level of quanta. It's very interesting. Right? The

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

scientific notation that we use to describe very

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12

large things, and that we that we use

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

to describe very small things, On that scale

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

from one side to the other, human beings

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

are right in the middle.

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

Half of the stuff in the world is

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

bigger than us, half the stuff in the

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

world is smaller than us. So that we

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

can understand something. Can you see a bacteria?

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

No. You can't see a bacteria with your

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

eyes. If some of you can, you're tripping,

00:12:30 --> 00:12:31

man. You need to, like, you know, clean

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

up for a couple of days because it's

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

not you cannot see a bacteria. You understand

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

what I'm saying? You can't see it. Okay?

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

Can a bacteria

00:12:39 --> 00:12:40

right? What's what's,

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

what's the greater

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

gap? Between the size of a human being

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

and the size of a bacteria, or between

00:12:46 --> 00:12:47

the size of a bacteria and the size

00:12:47 --> 00:12:47

of an atom?

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

What's between a bacteria and an atom is

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

a greater gap than the size of a

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55

human being to a bacteria. Both of bacteria

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

and human beings are extremely large when? Can

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

compared to the the level and scale of

00:12:59 --> 00:12:59

atoms.

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

Extremely large. Okay? You can't even see a

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

bacteria. You definitely can't see an atom. You

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

definitely can't see, like, a neutron or a

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

proton. Right? Most of what we see outside

00:13:09 --> 00:13:11

is empty space. It seems like it's solid.

00:13:11 --> 00:13:12

It's most of it is empty space. If

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

you look at a a an atom,

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

the nucleus of the atom is 1 it

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

is is that the

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

the simile of the nucleus of an atom

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

to the size that the atom takes up

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

with its electrons and everything with its electron

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

orbitals and whatnot, is like the analogy of

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

someone placing a golf ball in the middle

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

of a football field.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

Right? The atom is all empty space. The

00:13:34 --> 00:13:35

the the nucleus, what we consider, quote unquote,

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

solid, is just like a golf ball in

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

the middle of it. Right? Can you see

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

that neutron? Can you see that proton? Absolutely

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

not. That neutron and proton is made up

00:13:43 --> 00:13:46

of quarks. Can you see those quarks? No.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

So when we say that this earth this

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

earth is like a grain of sand compared

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

to the, entire cosmos, the Samadunya,

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

this is an exaggeration, it's much smaller than

00:13:57 --> 00:13:58

a grain of sand. You can see a

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

grain of sand, you can pick it up,

00:13:59 --> 00:14:00

you can touch it. You can even look

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

at it in a microscope. Right?

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

The the analogy of what the size of

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

the planet that we're on is with comparison

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

to what? With comparison to, the size of

00:14:10 --> 00:14:10

the universe

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

is like something that's so small, you cannot

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

only not see with your naked eye, you

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

can't even see it with a microscope, you

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

can't even see it with electron microscope. How's

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

an electron microscope gonna be make you able

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23

to resolve the size of a quark when

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

the electron itself is made up of several

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

quarks itself? It doesn't it's so small. It's

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

like it's something like.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

Right? If you at this point, you're like,

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

wow, that's really small. I don't exactly get

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

what he's saying except for that he's saying

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

it's really smart, small. That's because it's that

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

small. You're not gonna be able to understand

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

how small it is. That's how small it

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

is. So why is it that a person,

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

good thing Allah cannot

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

forgive my sins? When we're so we're so

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

insignificant, we're like less than a bacteria, we're

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

less than a quark in front of this

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

universe,

00:14:50 --> 00:14:53

And this universe is the smallest of 7,

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

7 universes Allah Ta'i created, all of which

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

are dwarfed by the arsh of Allah subhanahu

00:14:57 --> 00:14:58

wa ta'ala.

00:14:58 --> 00:15:01

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's existence is so

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

much greater than the arsh that is something

00:15:03 --> 00:15:03

without

00:15:04 --> 00:15:04

any.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

So his existence is something that there's you

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

cannot make any analogy to

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

it. Allah doesn't care about your sins, you

00:15:12 --> 00:15:13

can pollute it. It's a hadith of the

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

Prophet

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

Even if your sins are as far as

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

the eye can see. Right? You can see

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

all the way to the sun, you can

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

see stars and galaxies literally that are, you

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

know, light years away. If your sins fill

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

all of that, and you ask Allah for

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

forgiveness with with what? With sincerity, Allah is

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

there to forgive you. It's like, you know,

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

when you're a kid. Right? Most of people

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

are not going to understand this. In fact,

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

mostly even the kids are not gonna understand

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

this analogy. But for those of you who

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

went to elementary school before the age of

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

political correctness,

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

even if you are Muslim, you'll remember what

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

the Easter egg hunt was.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

What was the Easter egg hunt? Right? They

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

put, like, obviously, we don't do this in

00:15:51 --> 00:15:54

the Iqbal school and nowadays, the schools know

00:15:54 --> 00:15:57

that not everyone celebrates Easter, so very rarely

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

will they do things like this. Well, what

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

is the Easter egg hunt? They do this

00:15:59 --> 00:16:02

thing for the children to celebrate Easter. What

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

painted eggs have to do with, say, Nai'l

00:16:04 --> 00:16:06

Isa alaihis salatu alsalam. I have no idea,

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

and I I think that really nobody does.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

But at any rate, it's something fun for

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

the kids to do, which is that they

00:16:12 --> 00:16:15

hide candies and they hide fun stuff, Right?

00:16:15 --> 00:16:18

Everywhere around the school, in their yard, in

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

the in the in the classroom,

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

behind things, everywhere, and they say to the

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

kids, okay, go look and find and everybody

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

will look in different places and they'll find

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

something. It's a fun thing for the children

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

to do. It's fun. I I'm not saying

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

it's halal, it's in fact haram. In fact,

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

we shouldn't do it, but it's something that

00:16:34 --> 00:16:35

we've all gone through for those of us

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

at least who went to elementary school at

00:16:37 --> 00:16:41

that age in America. Right? Now imagine the

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

delight and the joy of a child when

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

he looks

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

behind something, which is normally boring,

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

which is normally plain, which normally you'll get

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

yelled at for looking behind. But this time,

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

say, hey, go look for it, and you

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

look behind, you say, oh, it's like a

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

chocolate. How wonderful is that? Okay? There's very

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

few things that are more sincere than the

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

love of small children for chocolate. There are

00:17:01 --> 00:17:02

very few things more sincere than the love

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

of large people for chocolate for most of

00:17:04 --> 00:17:04

us

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

Right? What is it? How happy would you

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

be? How wonderful would it be? Right? Allah

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

has literally hid hid the chocolate of his

00:17:13 --> 00:17:13

mercy,

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

and the sweet the sweet redemption of his

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

of Tawbah behind every single every single atom

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

in this universe.

00:17:21 --> 00:17:22

There is nothing,

00:17:22 --> 00:17:25

literally nothing, not here in the house of

00:17:25 --> 00:17:27

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, nor in the most

00:17:27 --> 00:17:28

filthy of places,

00:17:29 --> 00:17:30

physically or spiritually,

00:17:30 --> 00:17:33

nor in the best of people, nor in

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

the worst of people, nor in an animal

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

or a plant, nor in any object animate

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

or inanimate, except for within it. There is

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

something

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

Allah has hidden for you by which you

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

will not only have your sins forgiven, by

00:17:46 --> 00:17:46

which Allah

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

from His grace and mercy will trade your

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

sins for good deeds. Imagine that every sin

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

you did in your life, you'll get credited

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

for it,

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

if you make tawba. What do I mean?

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

Come to the house of Allah subhanahu wa

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

ta'ala, make and pray 2 rakas and ask

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

for his forgiveness, he forgives you. Go to

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

the street. Right? Pick up a piece of

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

garbage from there, put it in your pocket

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

or go throw it in the garbage can,

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

and ask Allah for his forgiveness, he'll forgive

00:18:11 --> 00:18:14

you. Go to the mall, say salaam to

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

somebody that you know or somebody that you

00:18:16 --> 00:18:18

don't know, or smile at somebody whether he's

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

a Muslim or not a Muslim and be

00:18:20 --> 00:18:22

kind to that person. Ask Allah for his

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

forgiveness, he'll forgive you. Go to the zoo

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

and make

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

that you're going to feed the animal something

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:18:29 --> 00:18:32

and ask his forgiveness, he'll forgive you. Go

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

to go to somebody is shouting and screaming,

00:18:35 --> 00:18:38

protesting around the Masjid with semi automatic and

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

god knows even automatic weapons saying blank Islam,

00:18:41 --> 00:18:43

blank your prophet, blank your Quran,

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

blank this, blank that, blank the other thing.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

Go buy a bottle of bottled water. You

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

don't even have to buy a coke because

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

that will cost you 50¢ A bottle of

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

water, you could probably get bulk at Costco

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

or Sam's Club or whatever

00:18:55 --> 00:18:56

for, like, 15¢.

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

Give them a bottle of water instead of

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

instead of, you know, returning evil with evil.

00:19:08 --> 00:19:08

From his

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

It comes what? That he didn't use to

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

repay evil with evil, rather he used to

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

forgive other people. He used to forgive other

00:19:16 --> 00:19:19

people and he used to, like, forget about

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

it, not bother them about whatever bad things

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

that they did ever again. Right? Do it

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

and ask Allah for his forgiveness,

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

he'll forgive you. Now imagine, is there any

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

place a rock is in the way of

00:19:29 --> 00:19:30

somebody? You put the rock in the side,

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

ask for his forgiveness, he'll forgive you. It's

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

all it's all there. It's all there. The

00:19:34 --> 00:19:36

only person who gives up hope in the

00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

mercy of Allah Ta'ala is the one who

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

has vastly underestimated

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

the scale of his mercy, or the one

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

who has vastly overestimated

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

the importance of themselves and the importance of

00:19:45 --> 00:19:46

their sins.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

Within this context, we narrate a hadith of

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. What did

00:19:50 --> 00:19:51

he say?

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

He said that he came up to the

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

right? This the pulpit from which the

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

is given. This pulpit is not to be

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

used for anything other than the.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

I I remind the small children of politeness.

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

Okay? With politeness. Don't play on the pulpit.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

Don't play on the member. Why? Because this

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

is the maqam of the messenger of Allah

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. It's an of his

00:20:12 --> 00:20:15

that we have this. It's an of it.

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

Why? It's the one the place that he

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

stood in, he gave his teachings, and no

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

one stands in this place and gives the

00:20:20 --> 00:20:22

teaching except for the teachings of the Messenger

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And we

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

don't take that lightly. We don't take that

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

lightly. We don't put, you know, our stuff

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

and our clothes and whatnot on it. No.

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

This is a place of

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

Amana. Right? He himself, Mubarak

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

sallam came up under his mimbar. The only

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

one who should be allowed on the mimbar

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam or his

00:20:42 --> 00:20:43

authorized representatives.

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

The people of knowledge are the heirs of

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

the prophets. May Allah forgive us for not

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

having prepared people of knowledge that people like

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

myself have to stand here so that we

00:20:53 --> 00:20:54

can complete our,

00:20:54 --> 00:20:57

our and the obligations that Allah taught put

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

upon us. But aslanoon should be able to

00:20:59 --> 00:21:00

stand here except for a person of knowledge

00:21:00 --> 00:21:02

and a person of taqwa, a person who

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

is an authorized representative of the Messenger of

00:21:04 --> 00:21:04

Allah.

00:21:05 --> 00:21:08

He came up and ascended his own Mubarak

00:21:08 --> 00:21:08

Pulpit

00:21:09 --> 00:21:10

Imagine.

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

He ascended his own Mubarik pulpit

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

and he said, Amin 3 times.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:17

The sahaba

00:21:18 --> 00:21:19

They said, Why is he saying Amin?

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

So it was said to him, when you

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

came up on your pulpit,

00:21:24 --> 00:21:25

right, obviously not during the.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

Right? It was later said, when you came

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

up on your pulpit, you said, Amin 3

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

times. We never see you say 'amin' 3

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

times like that before. Is this a new

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

sunnah? Is there something we're missing? Why is

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

it you said 'amin' 3 times? And the

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

what? Said, when I was ascending my pulpit,

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

the angel Jibril Alaihi Salam, the angel Gabriel

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

came to me, and he said to me

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

3 things. And after every one of those

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

three things, he said to me, say Amin.

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

He commanded me to say Amin.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

The first thing is what? He said to

00:21:53 --> 00:21:54

me,

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

if

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

somebody reaches the month of Ramadan,

00:21:57 --> 00:22:00

it's just around the corner. This Jum'ah, the

00:22:00 --> 00:22:01

next Jum'ah at Shaaban, and then the Jum'ah

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

after that is Ramadan.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

Right? The jum'ah after that will be in

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

the month of Ramadan. Only one jum'ah intervenes

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

between us and the first jum'ah of Ramadan.

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

Said if a person reaches Ramadan,

00:22:11 --> 00:22:15

not complete. If a person reaches Ramadan, and

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

he managed to stumble through Ramadan and not

00:22:17 --> 00:22:17

be forgiven,

00:22:18 --> 00:22:20

then that person Allah has cursed them.

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

Say, Amin. And the prophet salallahu alaihi wa

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

sallam said, Amin. I was I was translating

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

the hadith, but

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

I mean it's if the Messenger of Allah

00:22:30 --> 00:22:31

was commanded to say

00:22:32 --> 00:22:33

then then it's not distant that we should

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

say to the same thing as well. What

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

did he say? If you if somebody

00:22:37 --> 00:22:40

if somebody reaches Ramadan and still manages to

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

fumble through it, not even fumble, it takes

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

a certain amount of finesse to get through

00:22:43 --> 00:22:45

Ramadan and not be forgiven,

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

then know that truly that person has been

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

cursed. There are certain people, Allah ta'ala, their

00:22:49 --> 00:22:52

fortune gives them something in their fortune high,

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

and someone in in their fortune something someone

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

is given something low, and something very,

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

very horrible. Right? To be shaitan, it's not

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

good it's not good fortune.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

It's not good. Allah

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

for that for that shaitan. Obviously, we're pleased

00:23:05 --> 00:23:06

with whatever Allah decides.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

But for him, it's not good. Nobody would

00:23:09 --> 00:23:11

want to be that that shaitan. Right? This

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

is what this is a of the people

00:23:13 --> 00:23:14

who are cursed by

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

Allah That they managed to fumble and bumble

00:23:17 --> 00:23:18

through Ramadan without fasting,

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

without

00:23:20 --> 00:23:21

praying,

00:23:21 --> 00:23:25

without praying tarawee, without giving an access of

00:23:25 --> 00:23:25

sadaqah,

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

without making dua, without reading Quran, without whatever

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

they they manage to, like, miss every single

00:23:31 --> 00:23:32

opportunity,

00:23:32 --> 00:23:35

that person truly is one cursed by Allah

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

It's not easy. It's difficult. A person has

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

to be consciously trying to miss out on

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

the forgiveness of Allah for them to be

00:23:42 --> 00:23:43

in that maqam.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

This is something very important to understand.

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48

Okay? There is saying Abu Bakr, alayahu, who

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

is a hadith that the messenger of Allah

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam described the different gates

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

of Jannah.

00:23:53 --> 00:23:54

The gate of Jannah that the people of

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

the prayer will enter through. The gate of

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

Jannah that the angel will call people of

00:23:58 --> 00:24:01

the prayer to come and enter paradise through.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

The gate of fasting that the angels will

00:24:02 --> 00:24:02

call the

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

people of fasting to enter to paradise too.

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

The gates of that,

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

that the angels will call the people

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

of charity to enter paradise

00:24:14 --> 00:24:14

through.

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

Abu

00:24:17 --> 00:24:17

Bakr

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

Look at him. Right? The out strippers, the

00:24:20 --> 00:24:21

ones who come in 1st place, are the

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

ones who come in 1st place. Those are

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

the ones who Allah brings close to them.

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

Right? What did he ask as a question?

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

Look at the how high is him and

00:24:28 --> 00:24:31

his spiritual courage was, and his spiritual ambition

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

was. What did he say? He said, You

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

Rasool Allah, is there anyone who's gonna be

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

called by more than one gate?

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

And then Nabi saw something, what did he

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

say? He

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

says, You Abu Bakr. Yes. There will be

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

people called by more than 1 gate. Some

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

people will be called by all of the

00:24:43 --> 00:24:44

gates, and it's my hope that you'll be

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

one of them.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:46

Right?

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

Try to be the one who's called from

00:24:49 --> 00:24:50

all gates. Try to be the one who

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

hits every one of the prizes, finds every

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

one of the Easter egg hunt. You understand

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

what I'm saying? Obviously, we don't compare Ramadan

00:24:56 --> 00:24:56

to an Easter egg hunt, but you understand

00:24:56 --> 00:24:57

what I'm saying. Try to be the one

00:24:57 --> 00:24:58

who bags every single one of the prizes

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

if you can.

00:25:03 --> 00:25:05

And fear that you're gonna be one of

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

those, and I'm gonna be one of those

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

who misses all of them, who misses all

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

of them. What is it? It's a maqam

00:25:10 --> 00:25:12

of Allah, Ta'ala, is cursed. A person shouldn't

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

have an irrational fear, but the fear should

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

be what? It should drive you that, listen,

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

we need to not be slacking off, you

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

know, we need to not be, laissez faire

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

about this this thing. This is an opportunity

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

that's coming.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:25

We need to be we need to hedge

00:25:25 --> 00:25:27

our bets. We need to put some time

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

into our salat, some time into our,

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

siam, into our fasting, some time into our

00:25:31 --> 00:25:33

energy and money into our sadaqa.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

Right? Is not only just money, by the

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

way. It's also your volunteer time. It's also

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

the way your behavior with other people. It's

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

a number of things. Some effort into all

00:25:41 --> 00:25:42

of these different categories,

00:25:43 --> 00:25:44

so that if one of them doesn't work

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

work out for us, if we botch one

00:25:46 --> 00:25:48

of them, this happens. Is who here in

00:25:48 --> 00:25:50

the Masjid every time everything that they do,

00:25:50 --> 00:25:51

they do it right the first time? If

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

it's one of you,

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

I need to sit and take some lessons

00:25:54 --> 00:25:55

for you. The rest of us, the normal

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

ones amongst us, we botch things from time

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

to time. So hedge your bets a little

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

bit, you know? Try to try try to

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

try to get a little bit of everything,

00:26:03 --> 00:26:04

so that you don't become one of those

00:26:04 --> 00:26:06

who leaves with none of anything.

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

Right? Why? Because the one who leaves with

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

none of anything, the one who gets to

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

Ramadan without being forgiven,

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

what did the Messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

wa sallam what was he commanded to say

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

to? He commanded to say to this person

00:26:17 --> 00:26:17

being

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

cursed. The second the second thing that the

00:26:23 --> 00:26:24

angel Jibril

00:26:24 --> 00:26:26

mentioned. What did he mention? He said,

00:26:27 --> 00:26:28

the one and the one who grows up,

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

and reaches either both of his parents or

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

even one of his parents while they're still

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

alive, and they're not able to do anything

00:26:34 --> 00:26:37

for them, any khidma for them, any service

00:26:37 --> 00:26:37

for them,

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

that person who's not able to do anything

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

by which they'll be forgiven, that person is

00:26:42 --> 00:26:44

truly cursed to say, Amin, and the prophet

00:26:44 --> 00:26:45

said, Amin.

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

Now with your family and your parents, it's

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

obviously very tricky, and it's frustrated. Sometimes you

00:26:50 --> 00:26:51

do everything that you can do. If somebody

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

here has their parents that are pleased with

00:26:53 --> 00:26:55

them, this is a This

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

is such

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

a such a blessing that there's no no

00:27:00 --> 00:27:02

we cannot measure it or compare it to

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

another blessing. So, big du'a for us as

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

well. There are many people who what? They

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

will serve their parents as best as they

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

can, their parents still won't be happy with

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

them. Don't worry about that. Do the best

00:27:11 --> 00:27:13

that you can. Even if your parents don't

00:27:13 --> 00:27:16

appreciate it, Allah appreciates it. It's not going

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

into a black hole, your and your money,

00:27:18 --> 00:27:19

and your time that you spend for them,

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

your love you spend with them. It's not

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

going to a black hole, it's going somewhere

00:27:22 --> 00:27:24

good. Don't fight with them, don't try to

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

educate them about how to be a good

00:27:26 --> 00:27:28

person, or how to follow the deen. They

00:27:28 --> 00:27:29

don't care what your opinion is usually. Right?

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

Usually, they don't care. They say, Imam Abu

00:27:31 --> 00:27:31

Hanifa.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:35

Imam Abu Hanifa. Right? The Sahib al Mila

00:27:35 --> 00:27:37

Al Hanafiya, the patron of the Mila of

00:27:37 --> 00:27:40

Sayidna Ibrahim alaihisatu as salam. The one that

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

the ulama, gave him the of al imam

00:27:42 --> 00:27:43

al a'von.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

His own mother wouldn't

00:27:45 --> 00:27:47

listen to his opinions on fiqh. In fact,

00:27:47 --> 00:27:48

she would send him to the other alamaqouf,

00:27:48 --> 00:27:49

I say, what

00:27:50 --> 00:27:51

is his opinion on this issue?

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

So he would go to people, and he

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

would say he would say, he'd say, what's

00:27:55 --> 00:27:57

your opinion on such and such issue? This

00:27:57 --> 00:27:59

is Sheikh, you're like the, like you're the

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

imam of the entire milah, you're you're the

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

you're the most learned faqih in all of

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

Kufa. What are we gonna say in front

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

of you? He's like, Listen man, my mom

00:28:06 --> 00:28:08

told me to ask you, so just, you

00:28:08 --> 00:28:09

know, don't bust my chops. Give me the

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

What what whatever your answer is, I'm taking

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

it, but I'm not here for like, you

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

know, a debate.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:14

He says, Well, I don't know. I don't

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

know the answer to that question. Why don't

00:28:16 --> 00:28:17

you tell me what the answer is, and

00:28:17 --> 00:28:18

then I'll tell you tell it to you,

00:28:18 --> 00:28:19

and then you can go tell your mom

00:28:19 --> 00:28:21

that he said such and such thing. Right?

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

That's the way the dunya works sometimes. Right?

00:28:24 --> 00:28:25

So don't give up hope just because your

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

parents are not like super,

00:28:28 --> 00:28:31

you know, pleased with you because you never,

00:28:31 --> 00:28:32

you know,

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

the one who doesn't become a doctor because

00:28:34 --> 00:28:35

you never become a doctor, the one who

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

doesn't become a sheikh because you never became

00:28:37 --> 00:28:38

a sheikh because the one who's not a

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

haf is because you never become a haf

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

is the haf is doctor sheikh because you

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

didn't do the other thing. Don't worry about

00:28:43 --> 00:28:44

those things. Allah is the one who you

00:28:44 --> 00:28:45

do it for, and Allah is the one

00:28:45 --> 00:28:47

who rewards you. He'll see what you do,

00:28:47 --> 00:28:49

and he'll see what you don't do. He's

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

the one who rewards for it. But if

00:28:51 --> 00:28:53

anyone can go through and manage to avoid

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

doing anything for their parents whatsoever,

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

and their parents die in such a state,

00:28:57 --> 00:28:59

and that person isn't forgiven. Your parents are

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

just a vehicle, it's like something you look

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

behind your parents, you'll find jannah. Right? If

00:29:04 --> 00:29:05

you're able to avoid them in such a

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

way that you don't get jannah because of

00:29:08 --> 00:29:11

your inability to have served them, then Einul

00:29:11 --> 00:29:13

Jibril alaihis salam said to the Prophet

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

commanded him that that, These people are cursed,

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

you say, Amin, and the Prophet

00:29:21 --> 00:29:22

The one who was sent as a mercy

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

to the world was forced to say, Amin,

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

to testify to how cursed such a person

00:29:26 --> 00:29:27

is.

00:29:27 --> 00:29:29

And the last, and not the least, perhaps,

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

the most important of the 3. The Nabi

00:29:33 --> 00:29:36

said to him by Sayyidina Jibril, that whoever

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

and whoever your name, your Mubarak name, your

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

Mubarak name, your Mubarak name is mentioned in

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

front of that person. And that person doesn't

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

say the salat and salam after your name

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

because of which they're not forgiven their sins,

00:29:46 --> 00:29:47

they're not shown the fadhu and the mercy

00:29:47 --> 00:29:48

of Allah

00:29:56 --> 00:29:56

And say that,

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

that whoever say say to the people, Yeah,

00:29:59 --> 00:30:01

Muhammad, if you if you love Allah, then

00:30:01 --> 00:30:03

follow me, so that Allah may love you,

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

and forgive your sins, and Allah

00:30:06 --> 00:30:07

is forgiving and merciful.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:09

Right? The one who your Mubarak name

00:30:10 --> 00:30:11

is mentioned in front of him, and he

00:30:11 --> 00:30:13

cannot say the benediction of

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

the benediction of peace and blessings upon your

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

Mubarak and blessed name. Afterward,

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

that person who can get through their life

00:30:20 --> 00:30:20

without saying

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

after the mention of your name, because of

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

which they're not forgiven, truly such a person

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

is cursed. And the prophet

00:30:27 --> 00:30:30

Prophet is commanded to say, Amin by the

00:30:30 --> 00:30:30

angel Jibril

00:30:32 --> 00:30:33

And he said, Amin.

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

And this is the this is

00:30:36 --> 00:30:39

the the the the diagram, the map of

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

Allah's creation. That for your intents and purposes,

00:30:41 --> 00:30:43

and my intents and purposes, it's a treasure

00:30:43 --> 00:30:45

hunt behind every single thing is the blessings

00:30:45 --> 00:30:48

of Allah, the rahma of Allah. Behind every

00:30:48 --> 00:30:49

single thing is the blessings of Allah and

00:30:49 --> 00:30:51

the mercy of Allah to Allah, the forgiveness

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

of Allah to Allah, the acceptance of Tawba

00:30:53 --> 00:30:55

from the slaves. The only thing that we're

00:30:55 --> 00:30:57

short is people to look for it. The

00:30:57 --> 00:30:59

only thing we're short is people to look

00:30:59 --> 00:31:00

for it, to look to it, to have

00:31:00 --> 00:31:02

hope in it, to have the Himma, to

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

be courageous enough, to have the courage to

00:31:04 --> 00:31:07

say Allah. I I I regret my sins.

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

I regret my sins. Whatever I enjoyed from

00:31:10 --> 00:31:12

it, even that I don't enjoy it anymore.

00:31:12 --> 00:31:14

Whatever bad came from it, I regret it.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

And whatever good you have prepared for me

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

as long as you've given me life, as

00:31:17 --> 00:31:18

long as you put breath in my lungs,

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

I I will look for your mercy. I

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

will ask for your mercy, and I have

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

hope. I have and good hope that I'll

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

receive it. Allah

00:31:26 --> 00:31:27

give all of us so much tafib, we're

00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

small, we're small creations, we're less than the

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

microbe and the quark and the whatever Allah

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

is in his knowledge, that's that's even smaller

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

than that, we're less than all of those

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

things, and our Lord is great. He's greater

00:31:38 --> 00:31:40

than everything put together, and he wrote for

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

himself as a law over himself

00:31:42 --> 00:31:45

that his mercy will outstrip his wrath, and

00:31:45 --> 00:31:47

we're the ones looking for his mercy. May

00:31:47 --> 00:31:48

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us not amongst

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

those who are cursed but amongst those who

00:31:50 --> 00:31:50

are forgiven.
