00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			I'm about to proceed.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			Today inshallah we will have
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:11
			the chapter on on Isa altruism. And
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:18
			then we will start the Kitab agenda as the book on funerals and the session.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:49
			So remember how we said that when he started the chapter on altruism that allows through another
procedure matakana vm kasasa Kala Lovaas. sirona, unforseen whatever piano beam kasasa Hello mighty
said and they give others preference over themselves or favor others over themselves, one cannot
become kasasa even though they are in probation, even though they are in probation, they are in
need.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:58
			So, they give others preference over themselves concerning that which they need
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			or despite their need for that, which they have given up.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:15
			And then, among a lot of irrational loss of an SRO, taxi sumati, as well as national power and water
a second camera
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:23
			and the phrasing here is a little bit ambiguous. So it needs to be the cipher and it needs
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:33
			some things to be inserted the you know, the law, law, law or the required application, we have to
basically insert some
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:41
			words here in the sentence. So that we the sentence would be, would make sense.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:02:11
			Because he said that he thought tax season of the year, he said that he thought tax season of the
ISA is basically when you favor it's altruism, it's when you favor others over yourself, it is when
you give preference to others over yourself, it is act in the interest of others, even though it may
be against your own interest, even though it is against your own interest. So, to do that, which is
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			in you know the best interest of others
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:39
			even though it is against your own interest. So, we will talk about the different types of Asr,
that's in general what it is, it is to basically work for that which is in the best interest of
others, despite it being against your own interest.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:03:14
			So, he says here is r which is altruism, taxis on walk tr taxis on walk tr taxis means what
specification, but what it means here in this in this particular context is that it is selective and
voluntary taxation of tr tr is voluntary. So, II thought is selective and voluntary versus Apsara,
which is selfishness, you could say also, if he thought his selflessness and after his selfishness.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:31
			So, he says that he thought taxation of tr altruism is a choice to favor someone in particular over
oneself. So, it is selective, and it is voluntary, when you do when when you act
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			and
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:44
			Isa, you are acting out of you know, an autonomous decision,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:04:08
			free decision, you are not acting under the pressure of your inclinations. And that is that is why
ACS usually have a problem with a slot in particular, because when they attempted to explain all
human behavior, within the context of evolution, and, you know, basically that
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:55
			we we've learned this over time, because it helps with our survival. They have a problem where they
when it comes to ethos, when it comes to altruism, because you're actually working here, you're what
you what you're doing here is serving the interests of someone else against your own interest. So it
is the other regarding behavior, not the self regarding behavior. And that does not seem to
particularly serve the purpose of your own survival. So they come around and they try to say that
we've learned as a species, that when we do this, there will be reciprocity. And if I, you know,
basically what, serve your interests, you'll serve my interests or you will reciprocate and as a
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			species, we will do good all together. You know, at
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:27
			And then when they encounter like, very sort of hard phenomena to explain, like Margaret's basically
who sacrifice their life, they intentionally, voluntarily sacrifice their life. And that does not
seem to serve any evolutionary purpose, you know, because this, they are ending their life, what
kind of reciprocity would be expect after the end of their lives.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:38
			So it does not really fit into their paradigm is that is one of the hardest things for them to
explain, they certainly attempt to explain it. And you know,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:08
			and some people can get convinced with their explanation, some people get convinced with their
explanations, but their explanations certainly are deficient and lacking is our is, well, you know,
one of the qualities that prove that there is something to us beyond matter, beyond our physical
existence, beyond our bodies. So it is a voluntary and selective action
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:41
			is not is a voluntary and selective action. Here, you're acting out of duty and obligation, not out
of desire and the inclination, it proves your autonomy, it proves your freedom, it proves you're to
some extent free choice, which honors men above all others. That level of free choice, he hasn't, he
was still under the, you know, the authority of the Divine. But that free choice is what honors men
acting out of autonomy.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:55
			You know, when you act out of duty and obligation, you're proving to yourself, that you are not
enslaved to your desires and inclinations, you're not enslaved to your instincts, because here you
are,
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:26
			basically, acting against your instincts, against your desires, against your inclinations, your
inclination, your equation itself regarding it is not other regarding your inclination is to work
for your own interest, not for the interest of others for your own welfare, not the welfare of
others, when you do the opposite, and you work for the welfare of others, even though it is against
your own interest and against your own
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:37
			inclinations, that you're proven so many things, you're proving that you are an autonomous being was
some degree of free choice.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:01
			And you're proving that you are capable of rising above your instincts and inclinations, to act out
of duty and obligation. And you're proving that there is something that is transcendent, you know,
the, you cannot really do this consistently, unless you're doing it for
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:28
			something that is transcendent, for God for Allah for the divine, because otherwise, there will be
no point and he thought whatsoever that it would make no sense what so ever to be altruistic. If
there is nothing that you know, that transcends the physical universe that is around us, for which
we practice is.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:35
			Then in shannara malata, Allah said what is nara tatsuno Tawana?
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			garnacha
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:56
			hear we will have to add a word. So he says what after attacks on power, selfishness is
praiseworthy, if it is done voluntarily, that is what it will mean. So, selfishness is praiseworthy,
if it is done voluntarily,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:47
			then we will have to say that what is meant here, selfishness is praiseworthy, when it is tolerated
voluntarily, when you tolerate it not when you do it when not when you act out of selfishness, but
when you tolerate the selfishness of others, because the people of izhar are people who also
tolerate us are. The people who are selfless, are the same people who will tolerate the selfishness
of others. The people who are selfless. It is the same thing it is it comes from the same root. The
root is those people who have no show whatsoever. They have no avarice. They have no greed. They are
they are not possessive. They are not possessive.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:59
			Allah subhanaw taala the same I am sort of halfway through Allah and footsy him what Oh, can I be
concise and they favor others over themselves, even though they are in preservation what what do
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			The last day afterwards, when we open up, see for like remove the code, and whatever is protected
from the avarice of themselves. Those are the prosperous ones. Whoever is protected from the avarice
destroy is the excessive greed, possessiveness, if those people have no show that excessive greed,
avarice possessiveness, they will do ethos or they will be altruistic and at the same time, they
will tolerate people's selfishness. They will be selfless themselves, and they will also tolerate
people selfishness, because they are not present extra possessive or greedy. They don't have that
show or that avarice.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:56
			Okay, so see here it says, What offer attachments with a war. It means that, that selfishness is
tolerated willingly and that is praise worthy, what,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:02
			but it may also be tolerated unwittingly, it may also be tolerated.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:04
			Here,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:15
			it would not be particularly praise worthy to be tolerated unwillingly, because you are unwilling,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:31
			autonomous behavior here to be to be praiseworthy, to be rewarded worthy. So if someone is acting
selfish, and you tolerate this, because you have no recourse, you have no choice but to tolerate it.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:42
			That is not necessarily praiseworthy. It is not blameworthy, either. It does not blameworthy,
either. Because there is no free
		
00:11:43 --> 00:12:06
			choice here. There is no autonomous conduct or behavior here to be either praiseworthy or
blameworthy. You're just you have no options. So like you're tolerating this selfish behavior from
others, because you have no options. no judgement about this, it's not praiseworthy, it is not
blameworthy.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			But when you tolerate the selfishness of others,
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:25
			you know, out of autonomous free choice decision on your part, that that's fine. Let them have it.
You know, they want it, let them have it.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:13:00
			Let's say my spouse, my wife or husband, they want to make that decision. Let them make it, they
want to have this thing, let them have it. My You know, my neighbor, my business partner, anyone
they wanted, let them have it. Now, if this is an autonomous conduct, then it is certainly
praiseworthy. And that is what the CFO is saying here. And he's combining between izhar in the
toleration of afara. Combining between altruism, altruism, selflessness, and
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:07
			toddler toddler toleration of selfishness, because it is the same people who will the same
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:21
			are the people who will be most able to tolerate selfishness. Why is this because those people are
God conscious. They are not self conscious.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:31
			Those people are not possessive. They don't have this avarice or greed or shine.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			That makes people
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			not act
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:43
			with selfishness and that makes people selfish.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:14:01
			Okay, then see if Rahim Allah said Raja Raja Ansari, in particular, you know, if you want to find,
look for the epitome of this behavior, you know, alongside were described to have no show.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:28
			May Allah be pleased with so ansara the who's who, who is described by this verse in sort of harsh
way of sirona unfussy model cannot be consulted, alongside alonza. They give the favor others over
themselves, even though they are in probation. They have shown this when in margerine came to them
and they have given up well, you know, their wealth for to share with mohabbatein.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:59
			So Allah subhanaw taala described them as people who are altruistic people who favor others over
themselves, even though they are in probation. And they were the best people to tolerate
selfishness, as well. You know, listen to what the prophet SAW someone said to them in a comb settle
cone as a rotten Valley first bureau hot data company out of how you win the province of Southern
service. Mojave, and Professor solemn said you will
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			See, you want to encounter you will encounter SRR you will encounter selfishness
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:22
			that is selfishness directed against you that you know, so, you will encounter selfishness after me.
So, be patient until you meet me at the pond. How does the pond because it is basically it makes it
more
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:33
			you know if you if you save the lake, it certainly will be enough for all of Muhammad Sallallahu
Sallam but the word pond itself
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:40
			is nicer, it makes it feel like or cozy, I guess. So.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:47
			So, first bhairahawa taccone Allah how this will be patient and 30 Meet me at the pond.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:16:00
			ambulances did basically exhibit that patience and they did not fight they did not compete for for
the you know the pleasures of this world.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:09
			And they continue to be people of Assad and people who tolerated.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:23
			Now, keep in mind that this is as you know, as an individual behavior, it is praiseworthy, but that
does not mean that as a community, we will allow greedy people to abuse
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:46
			you know the unprejudiced people or the less fortunate people we will not allow this as a community
as a society, there is a difference between individual practice and collective practice there is a,
you know, a society that would allow the greedy to basically, abuse exploit
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:00
			others is a society that is basically doomed to failure and destruction, we will not allow this as a
society, but individually on an individual level,
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			tolerate tolerating this error,
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			when it does not basically
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:15
			involved in the the people who have shahan Laughlin
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:27
			when it does not embolden them, then it is praiseworthy, but also you do not allow it. If it will
embolden the people, the people the
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:31
			people.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			The people have asked are the selfish people.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:42
			They like but but but there is certainly a lot of room for showing this.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:18:07
			For tolerating Gasol, particularly between spouses, between business partners, between neighbors and
so on, there is a lot of room for tolerating this and there is a lot of room when this is
praiseworthy, tolerating some degree of selfishness from your companion, your spouse, your neighbor,
this or that is praiseworthy.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:20
			Because then, as Jeff talked about the three levels and he said the daughter uilleann toe serum
honkala and I've seen a female if Rama la cadena octoberat A Qatari power the UFC to aneko aka
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:27
			the first level is the favorite the creation over yourself as long as this does not lead to sim
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			and it does not interrupt your journey nor does it waste your time.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			to favor the creation over yourself.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:49
			And here at Dr. Carla Neff seek to favor and follow His creation.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:56
			And it is beautiful that the chef use the product versus you know, Sarah Hawk out and I'm sick
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:02
			because the creation includes all creation includes even
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			you could go as far as they lose the environment
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:26
			because that's part of the last creation and we love the last creation because we love their
Creator. We love the creations we love the creatures because we love their Creator as well. So until
Sierra falcata and I've said this includes everyone he thought is not limited to your kin.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:59
			That is that you know that may be basically explained on the basis of evolution for instance, to say
that it is not limited to your kin and it is not limited to your community and it is not limited to
the to your coreligionists p you know to Muslims and it is not limited to humanity and it is not
limited to animals. It goes beyond all of this to all of our laws creations. You favor the creations
of Allah subhanaw taala over yourself. You have this love for it.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:17
			Creation because you have you because you love their maker, their Creator as origin. The Prophet
sallallahu Sallam said, Whoever wants to be moved from the Hellfire and enter paradise for 30
minutes to Wyoming Billa Yamanaka have been used
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:25
			for 30 million overloaded with alpha, at the NASA level, you have been yota Eli, let him
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:41
			let him not die except while believing in Allah and The Omen alpha, the Hereafter, and let him also
treat the people as he likes to be treated, or do onto people that which he wants to be done on to
him.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:47
			And that is an S, it's basically all people. It is not just
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:55
			who even though when a who is mentioned that does not it's not necessarily limited to
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			two Muslims,
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:35
			about the children of Adam, particularly when it talks about, you know, having kids has acts of
business and transactions, the mention of here as Natalie points out, and much more, and others
dimension of Africa here is not limited to his Muslim brother.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:22:16
			Okay, so I'm totally on count, to favor the creation. And that's all the creation, not limited to
your family, not limited to your Muslim Brothers, not limited to humanity, all of the creations as
the prophet SAW Selim said, equally, cabinet in Iraq, but in South Africa, there is a reward for any
kindness, that you extend to any living animal. Capital rapa means moist liver means an animal that
has a liver that has you know, so, it means that there is kindness there is reward in any act of
kindness extended to any living animal.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:25
			Female Monica Dena, but here is what what, what is important to emphasize this is important
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			for the pleasure of the people,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:58
			because if you favor the people for the pleasure of the people, then that will lead you to
sinfulness that will lead you to transgression, disobedience, because the people may want you to do
things that are sinful, what are you going to do them?
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:48
			If you are favoring the people for the pleasure of the people that keep in mind, if you favor the
people for the pleasure of the people, this will be inconsistent. Because when you favor people for
the pleasure of the people ultimately and undoubtedly you would want some level of reciprocity here.
You will want some payback you will want some you know recognition from the people. But if you favor
the people for the pleasure of Allah, you will be consistent that altruism will not be contingent on
reciprocity, that altruism will be absolute and will be consistent. You will do it until you until
the end of your life, the you know, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and Hobbes above now.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:24:05
			Basically, the Halley's Comet embodies this altruism for the sake of Allah, that will be consistent,
never interrupted, because it is not contingent on reciprocity, he set off
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:34
			an awkward organ ama this reportedly monogamous, authentically awkward non settlement Pathak
argument However, manhatten mk wireform, si, like your Aqua, banana or banana, join those who cut
you off. Basically Be kind to your relatives who are unkind to you, who cut you off, join the
kinship or the ties of kinship or the ties of the womb
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:49
			or Ottoman hammock and give to those who withhold from you give to those who are stingy, who are
mildly miserly with you will form an essay like and forgive those who transgress you.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55
			Wrong Do you so that is culturalism for the sake of Allah
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			consistently for
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			their entire life
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:07
			unless they are basically seeking the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:32
			To do it, we, you know, with with lack complete lack of reciprocity have unless you're seeking
something that transcends this universe, you know, and transcends your worldly existence, you're
seeking Gemini, you're seeking the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala. That is how you could continue
to be consistently altruistic.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:41
			Despite the lack of reciprocity, despite the lack of recognition. Keep in mind, altruism could be in
in ways, you know.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:58
			egoist, psychologists would always say that altruism and self regard because altruism could often be
self regarding it could be you could be altruistic for that feeling of,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:15
			you know, for, for that feeling of nobility of magnanimity of virtue of righteousness, you want to
feel good about yourself, and you want to have this sort of self recognition.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:31
			But if you're not getting any recognition from anyone around you, it will fade out, you know, that
altruism will fade out, some people will continue to be altruistic, as long as they giving some
recognition.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36
			But the people who will be able
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			to carry on, despite the lack of any recognition.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			And despite you know, something else, also, despite the need
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:55
			for
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			people who are altruistic for the sake of
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			their self recognition,
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:25
			their self regard and self recognition, you want to look in the mirror and say to yourself, I am
good, you know, I am generous, I am not miserly people who do this for the sake of self recognition,
according to the Maslow hierarchy of needs that we've discussed before.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			A Hierarchy of Needs
		
00:27:43 --> 00:28:08
			self transcendence, but he included before his death, he talked about self transcendence, but self
actualization would be here, self esteem would be here, sense of belonging, you would be here,
security and safety would be here. And down here is basically your essentials, your physical needs,
water, air, food, your physical needs.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:38
			So you you're not looking for self esteem, self regard, self recognition, and then you have secured
your basic needs, and then secured safety and security. And then you have this sense of belonging
and love, and so on. And then you look for self esteem, before self actualization, which is
basically to reach your potential reaching your potential and finally, sexual transcendence. When
you try to reach the infinite.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:29:11
			altruistic people are altruistic for the sake of people for the sake of self recognition, even
forget about recognition where others, they want to secure this first, and then secure this, you
know, so they want to have their needs first, and then give the extra for that feeling of, you know,
self recognition, and for self self esteem, but what about the people who go all the way to the top
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:59
			despite being in provision, despite the need for the bottom? their basic needs? You know, what about
the people the last panels are described in the Quran? We have a monaca Hamada, how be miskeen and
why a demon why Sierra and Soraka insane, and they give food despite their need, how beer means
despite their need, it means love. Because they they love it. They will they wanted, it means here
despite their need. So they are given food, despite their need for it to the miskeen the orphan and
the ESEA CRS captive Can you know is is a lot of talking about Muslim captives here. No, he's
talking about non Muslim captives.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:09
			He saw here applies to everyone, even the SEC or the captive that was fighting against you, that was
basically
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:48
			desiring to kill you or wanting to get you in more than you give them your food. And that's what the
Sahaba did with their captives, they gave them their food, despite their need for this food. So you
know, they share their food with the captives. If you do this, if you do this, the spy, the fact
that you did not really secure your basic needs yet, but you are being altruistic, that means there
is something transcendent higher than
		
00:30:49 --> 00:31:06
			your your needs, you're not really acting here out of inclination, you're acting, you're out of duty
and obligation, you're acting out of the pursuit of the pleasure of that transcend, that the divine,
God allows.
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			So
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:52
			so when you act, when you act for the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala, certainly this ethos will
not be the type of ethos that will be sinful, he will not favor people over yourself in a way that
is sinful, or you will not do favors for people that are sinful. And also when I apply like italica
and it will not interrupt your journey will not interrupt your journey. Like you do not allow the
people to distract you from your journey or interrupt your journey back to Allah subhanaw taala
whether you've seen about a collector, nor does it waste your time, know,
		
00:31:53 --> 00:32:15
			your time. So if someone you know, some people may like to be entertained for hours, like someone
may like it, some people may like to sit down and socialize, and, you know, chat for hours. And so
sometimes the brothers after Southeast Asia, they could sit down for
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:50
			you could sit down until it's close to the time for fat, and they're chatting. Now you're you're
entertaining someone you could say, you know, that's easy. You know, I would have wished to go home
and study or pray or do something more beneficial. But I'm doing Isa Remember, this is not the right
type of Isa, you know, this is wasting his time and your time, you're better off telling him let's
just do something like worthwhile, beneficial
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:54
			and just go anyway.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:57
			But then
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:07
			to do this favor the creation over yourself concerning that will you know without this obeying the
law, without
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:53
			slowing yourself down on your journey, without wasting your time, you will not be able to do this
except with three qualities. The Sheikh said while I will start out in lobby Saraswati is here with
our women who are not sure what Raka TV macadam and of luck, but our women have booked the first
one, how do you do this? How do you favor the creation over yourself without this obeying Allah
subhanaw taala without wasting your time without interrupting your journey? How do you do this three
things, limit a book esteeming rights esteeming the rights of others, you know, to recognize the the
the the weight of this in in our Deen
		
00:33:54 --> 00:34:01
			to discharge your obligations towards others, to honor the rights of others esteeming rights
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:24
			and the rights here are Firstly, the rights of Allah subhanaw taala the rights of the Ummah
collectively, the rights of the messenger someone prior to this after I lost metadata, the rights of
the oma collectively. And you know the rights of humanity, the rights of the rights of everyone over
you have the rights of
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:46
			the environment has rights without a facade of a body of valuable records of alien ness. You know,
corruption has appeared in land and sea because of what the people have earned, you know, so that
everything has rights over you. So you have to honor those rights.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:59
			I would go as far as saying, you know, as an ambassador on behalf of this owner, you have so many
obligations, you have an enormous burden you want
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:18
			As a man, or a woman of, you know, integrity, honor, piety, to be acting all the time out of duty
and obligation, not desire an inclination to be mindful of Allah subhanaw taala all the time and act
out of duty and obligation.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:22
			Don't pick your nose in public, you are Muslim.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:37
			That, you know, as it goes as far as this, to pick your nose in public that there's so many people
disgusting. So they will they will say look at, you know, this Muslim guy
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:48
			and look at their lack of manners, lack of advocates. No, you want to be always acting with this
sense of duty and obligation.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:36:10
			And basically represent your own matter represent your dean, in the best way possible. As you know,
as sort of an acting ambassador, on behalf of your oma on behalf of your dean, on behalf of your
messenger, show everyone,
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:15
			you know, the products
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:19
			of this Dean, you are one of them.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:38
			So, Tom Lehman, hello esteeming rights, rights of a law, the rights of the messengers, the rights of
humanity, the rights of the environment, the rights of the rights of your family, the rights of your
spouse, the rights of your neighbor, the rights of your business partner, all the rights of all the
people
		
00:36:40 --> 00:37:10
			to value them to esteem them to honor them is the first thing second and certainly you could do this
by learning you know, learn about the rights of others on you, you know, the app and the Hadith
about the rights of others on you, and the more you learn, the more inshallah you will honor those
rights, then the CFC MK to show a boring miserliness a boring miserliness not sure how boring
miserliness
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			and
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:21
			that is important, it is important to that, you know, you understand that all of this comes from
show
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:39
			all of this selfishness comes from possessiveness comes from greed comes from avarice, you know, and
that is, some people are, you know, Shoreham dude is not limited to money, by the way.
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:46
			100 is not limited to money, dude, which is generosity, their
		
00:37:47 --> 00:38:08
			generosity with your money is one of the forms of generosity. But there is generosity with your
life, martyrs, the they sacrifice their life for their community. There is generosity with your
honor, with your prestige, there is generosity with your positions of leadership.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:15
			There is generosity with your knowledge, there is generosity with your time.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:30
			There are many types of generosity that are even more valuable than generosity with your money. And
for certain people, like if you're Bill Gates or someone
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:54
			generosity with your money, it's pretty easy, because and that does not mean that it is not
praiseworthy, it is praiseworthy, to be generous with your money, because you could still be Bill
Gates, and you're stingy. But that is not, you know, one of the, you know, gray sort of
		
00:38:55 --> 00:39:46
			most effective philanthropist in the history of humanity is Bill Gates, Bill and Melinda Gates,
better melinda gates. Both are are. So we're not set. We're not trying to pick on anyone here. But
what I am saying that it is much easier to be generous with your money meant to be generous with
your time, you know, like spending time with your family, for instance, or, like spending time on
behalf for to serve someone who needs help or do this or that. So, generosity is not limited to
money shot is not limited to money either. So you want to be generous, and you want to hit shots or
stinginess, miserliness you could be miserly with your life, your honor, your time your knowledge
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:49
			or you can be generous.
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:59
			So abhorring miserliness. And then he said, What Roberto fee macadam II of luck desire in
magnanimity. What Roberto fee Makarem desire in
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:00
			magnanimity
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:32
			is a there is a hadith that is reported by of novelists and jabber and many other Sahaba from the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam are reported by Bharani and others. A beautiful Hadith in which the
prophet SAW Selim said in a larger meeting he had with Jamal and some reports to inhabit Jude a
large amount hebdomad Why don't you humble dude? In some reports Korean when you have good karma and
some reports no leave when you have been Nova. So Allah It was beautiful he loves beauty is generous
and loves generosity.
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:37
			He even says in some reports clean and loves cleanliness.
		
00:40:39 --> 00:41:05
			And then the profits in the law your head boom, I'll do more. We're economics a fancy House of
surfer in a la hebbal Maria Maria the law likes magnanimity and character. A lot likes the ability.
Allah likes chivalry you could say that revelry is also another synonym for this. So Allah likes
magnanimity likes nobility likes chivalry and character.
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			And he dislikes
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:15
			Sephora, Sephora or sub surfer, and he dislikes triviality.
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:22
			superfluous conduct, you know, trivial conduct, foolishness.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:33
			Was there any better word of Safa? Yeah, foolishness triviality, superfluous conduct.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			So, desire in magnanimity.
		
00:41:41 --> 00:42:20
			All of this requires, you know, all of this requires effort. All of this requires thoughtfulness.
All of this requires deliberation. All of this requires freedom and autonomy from your inclinations
from your instincts, it requires to be to be conscious of your conduct all the time, to be watchful
of your conduct all the time, because it is not easy. Most of us act out of inclination all the
time. What What is more comfortable, what is more desirable, you know what is easier.
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:49
			That is how we act most of the time, but how Allah wants you to act out of duty and obligation.
Allah wants you to act out of, you know, consciousness of him, being conscious of him all the time.

			That does not mean that we are cruel to people that we're we don't want to please them we want to

them for the pleasure of Allah it's part of you know what pleasing Allah, the prophet SAW Selim said
last quarter, last quarter ness for instance, he is not grateful to Allah, He who is not grateful to

			So, how can you do this? How can you set a law over the people it is it is not easy, it is not easy,
because the people are always in your face and you will always want to their pleasure, you always
want recognition by them. You always want praise, you always want acceptance, that is here. sense of

			Then he said that this is not attainable you know this to favor a las panatela over all others is
not attainable except with three qualities. He said the soundness of one's homecoming
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:33
			the table out the soundness of one's homecoming your homecoming is basically your return to
paradise. It is you know you want to have momentum here basically so that you are not pulled back
you're not distracted you want to keep your momentum on this path so that your journey is not
interrupted. You do want basically as rahimullah said to have
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:35
			this idea
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:40
			to let this
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:59
			be heard by your heart all the time. Yeah, you have to have some of mine are de la cara de moda for

00:55:00 --> 00:55:23
			Begin returning to the board after Steve allowed, that is the soundness of one's homecoming. You
know if you are hearing this in your ears all the time, at a jail either a big one of some minor
jail Arabic, or you tranquil soul returned to your soul, you will start the journey in return, you
will start the journey back home
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:31
			to your hometown in Paradise, that is where you belong. That's where you belong. That's where he
came from.
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:57
			But even out of the soundness of one's homecoming, you know, you can always say that I am you know,
I want to go back I want to return but you're not you're not showing any signs you're not packing
you're not how, you know you're traveling tomorrow, but I don't see any signs that you you actually
are traveling and you actually want to travel.
		
00:55:59 --> 00:56:13
			So booty Bella with your husband is now mahkota Sabri the witness of one's Islam and the strength,
the strength of one's resolve COVID sobre strength of one's resolve, that is how you continue on
this path and not
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:23
			be distracted about his ability to satisfy so he started laughing. He served our fed milk.
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:33
			Some man, Turku, Turku de Roja Tikka is out of luck, some of a battle county
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:44
			adonijah to satisfy the third level, there's one's denial of their altruism out of recognition that
it is only a law who favors whomever he pleases. He thought he thought
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:57
			he thought he thought alike means here, you know, I know it's it's a long sentence to translate
three words but that is what it means. It is basically to deny your own ethos or
		
00:56:58 --> 00:57:02
			to deny that you're out you know, to deny your own altruism
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:22
			out of recognition that it is actually Allah who favors so whenever whenever you favored someone, it
is a lot who favored him was this because Who are you to favor someone else? Because and then he
explains here phenol? How did he start our milk?
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:35
			This is because this is so because one's claim of altruism is a false claim of ownership. If you
think about your altruist, if you think about your favoring others, you
		
00:57:36 --> 00:58:23
			have the delusion, you first have the delusion that you own something and you give it up. But he
actually did not own anything. So he did not give up anything. There was no altruism in your part
whatsoever. It is Allah who divides those shares have he accept what caused more losses, these are
shares the law divides. And Allah basically, provided for this person through you, you were just
like a relay point. They're just a went through you, but a lot provided for this person through you.
So when you showed altruism, it was actually Allah, providing for this person through you, he
decreed that he will provide for him through you, he would have been able to not make it go through
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:33
			you, he would have been able to provide for him without you doing anything without the money going
through you. Or you shown any
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:43
			Isa. And then he said so Metallica. So who do you who from Metallica, who do etica in sarala.
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:55
			Then one must refrain from beholden their desire, their denial of their altruism. The sheath wants
you here to strip off any remains of your ego.
		
00:58:57 --> 00:59:05
			This is the third level, this is the level of self dissolution, where your self moves away from the
center
		
00:59:07 --> 00:59:37
			of your thought, this is the level of self annihilation or practice on the surface Sunni form of
self annihilation, so that she tells you here, then, after you have denied your izhar you said I
have no power. I have no influence. I have no How would I have no power It is Allah who provided for
him through me. You want now to not be hold your denial of Isa
		
00:59:38 --> 01:00:00
			because your denial of ethos is your action. And if you're still mindful, conscious of your action,
you're conscious of yourself. your self is still at the center of your universe. The ship wants you
