And welcome to the final lesson of the

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

series on the names of Allah and His

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

attributes. It has been an absolute pleasure to

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

be

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

in your presence and in your service. But

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

I want to know where is Umar, first

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

of all? Where is Umar?

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

Where is Umar? Duqman?

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

Duqman

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

Khabas. If Amar, if you're hearing this on

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

the live stream, you better come to the

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

masjid. You have about 10 minutes to get

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

here. Insha'Allah.

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

Young says, come, sit in the front. Come.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

Come, come both of you. You also come.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

Come both of you. Manchester City, stay behind.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

I'm joking. You can come.

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

We we allow Manchester City. Come come come.

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

All the kids, come come in the front.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

Young man there, come.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

Both of you in the back, come. All

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

of you come in the front over here,

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

please.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

So inshallah, the first the first half of

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

tonight's finale will be,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

not on the name of Allah but on

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

how do we live with the names of

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

Allah as a conclusion to the series.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

And after this, around half an hour, we

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

will do a quiz

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

and I thought very hard

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

what is the prize that all humanity have

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

agreed upon, this ijma'ah,

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

consensus from all humanity that it is beloved

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

to all. I realized

00:04:11 --> 00:04:11

that

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

it was chocolate. So inshallah, after the quiz

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

inshallah, there will be some.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

Masjid Al Furqan has nothing to do with

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

my dietary choices. That's all very personal inshallah.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

So please don't blame the masjid for my

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

choices.

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

Alhamdulillah, in the last

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

30 lessons we have learnt and studied many

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

of the names of Allah.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

Approximating

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

over 90 names.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

But how do we live with these names?

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

I hope that in the series that we

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

covered

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

the approach that I tried to take

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

that is different yes, I'm a come. Your

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

place is waiting for you.

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

The approach that I tried to take,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

perhaps different to the approach

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

of of the, you know, some people we

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

have come across or some we have studied

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

and we've heard from in our times,

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

is that the names of Allah

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

are not empty definitions.

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

The attributes of Allah

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

are not empty categorizations and theoretical

00:05:09 --> 00:05:09

philosophy.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

These names and attributes of Allah

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

is what revives the heart

00:05:16 --> 00:05:17

and the body

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

and allows us to worship Allah to his

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

fullest extent.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

There are 5 ways in which the prophets

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

lived with the names of Allah.

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

Five ways. And we're gonna try and cover

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

these 5 ways.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

The first thing is that the prophets,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

when they would look

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

at the same things we look at on

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

a daily basis,

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

The same daily actions, the daily events, the

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

daily situations.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

They would look

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

in a very different lens and they would

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

see everything as an action of Allah. This

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

is the first thing.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

To see everything as an action of Allah.

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

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is fighting

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

in the battle of Badr.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

This battle was unprepared for.

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

He thought he was going to meet a

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

small group of people and it ended up

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

being a full blown war.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

Allah, please grant them victory.

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

They lack in numbers. They lack in resources.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

They lack in everything. There's no chance for

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

them to win if you take it by

00:06:30 --> 00:06:30

pure calculation.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

But

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

they have the help of Allah.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he says it

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

in a way in the Quran that really

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

we have to contemplate this wording of Allah.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

Rama.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

Oh Muhammad salaam.

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

When you were doing rammy,

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

you were shooting your arrows.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

You were not the one shooting arrows, Allah

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

was the one shooting the arrows.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

Allah is saying, I know to you it

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

looks like the arrows coming out of your

00:07:06 --> 00:07:07

hand,

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

but it is me who's making it go

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

to its target.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:13

It is me who's making every second of

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

this process. It is me who created the

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

arrow and created your hand and created everything

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

in between. It is me doing this not

00:07:19 --> 00:07:19

you.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

Look beyond the day to day things you

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

see.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

You get your payslip from your manager.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

Every end of the month it comes.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is saying,

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

don't look at this. Don't look at the

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

asbaab. Don't look at this from your manager.

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

Just imagine it dropped straight from Allah.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

See everything as a action of Allah. You

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

lose your job, you struggle with your marriage,

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

you come across difficult situation, you can't pass

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

your university exams. See everything as a direct

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

dealing with Allah.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

Allah is taking from you. Allah is giving

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

you. Allah is testing you. Allah is pushing

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

you. Allah is pulling you. Allah is opening

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

for you, Allah is closing for you. See

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

it as a direct dealing with Allah. Don't

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

see it like anybody else sees these day

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

to day situations.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

Allah says in the Quran,

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

Allah

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

says in the Quran, You know in this

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

country one of the things people whine about

00:08:21 --> 00:08:22

the most on a day to day basis

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

is?

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

The way the weather, specifically the rain.

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

People complain so much about the rain.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

If you have absorbed the names of Allah,

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

when you look at the rain, you don't

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

see water from the sky. You see this

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

is the mercy of Allah

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

coming to touch

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

us. Everything suddenly

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

is a manifestation

00:08:43 --> 00:08:44

of the names of Allah.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

That's why when it would rain, the prophet

00:08:48 --> 00:08:49

would try and expose his skin to the

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

rain. Why?

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

Because he wanted the mercy of Allah to

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

touch

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

him.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

See, he sees the rain differently to how

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

you see the rain.

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

And he sees the boss differently to how

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

you see the boss. And he saw the

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

arrow differently to how you look at the

00:09:05 --> 00:09:05

arrow.

00:09:06 --> 00:09:07

And he saw his army differently to how

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

you look at the army. And you everything

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

in life we see it, the Prophet saw

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

them differently because they saw,

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

as the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

in the hadith which is reported from him,

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

Be careful of the firsas,

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

the sight, the insight of a believer.

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

Because he is watching, he is looking at

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

things not from the way you look at

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

things, he's looking at things with the light

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

of Allah.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

He's seeing things in a different light.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

Allah says in the Quran, look at the

00:09:40 --> 00:09:44

rain, look at the effects of Allah's mercy.

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

How he revives the dead back to life.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

From the moment we wake up, we get

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

in our car to commute, to the moment

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

we sleep, to the moment we are feeding

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

our children. Every moment in the day is

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

a reason to reflect on the names of

00:09:58 --> 00:10:01

Allah. But we have to see it as

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

the prophet. So this is the first thing

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

we have to do, to live with the

00:10:04 --> 00:10:05

names of Allah.

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

We have to see everything in this world

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

as an action of Allah.

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

Direct action relating to us.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

The second,

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

as we know the names of Allah and

00:10:20 --> 00:10:21

if we get to know Allah, our Creator

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

and our Lord, the Almighty,

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

the Closest,

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

the Forgiver, the Most Merciful, the Opener,

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

the compeller,

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

the one who was first and the one

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

who is last.

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

As we know Him and we get closer

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

to Him,

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

the second action we should have on a

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

daily basis

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

is the desire to please Allah.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

Allah

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

says in the Quran,

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

Do not feel saddened

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

by what people want and what they desire

00:11:14 --> 00:11:15

and what they're looking for.

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

If you are in pain, then they are

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

in pain just as you are in pain,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

but you desire Allah

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

and they don't desire Allah.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

You desire what you want from this world,

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

you want it from Allah.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

And they are seeking the same thing from

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

somebody else.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

We seek to please people.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

We seek to make people happy.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

We are people pleasers.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

But the rare amongst us, the one who

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

has absorbed the names of Allah

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

and it has ignited his heart

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

is the one on a daily basis is

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

thinking,

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

I know him.

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

I want him to be pleased with me.

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

If the whole world abandoned me, I just

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

want Allah to be pleased with me.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

Because people can never be pleased.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

As they say, you can never please everybody.

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

And so there's a fire in your heart

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

every day.

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

How can I earn the pleasure of Allah?

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22

And the greatest thing we can desire from

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

this earth is the pleasure of Allah the

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

Almighty.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

This is the second thing.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

In every moment in our lives we are

00:12:28 --> 00:12:29

thinking,

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

how can I convert this into something which

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

will please Allah?

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

My eating of food,

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

my sleeping at night, my smiling at my

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

neighbor,

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

my going to work, the day to day

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

things, my drinking of water.

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

It is narrated and I've never researched your

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

authenticity so I cannot tell you it's authentic.

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

It is narrated that Alib Nabi Talib radiAllahu

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

anhu was asked,

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

do you like to drink cold water or

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

do you like to drink

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

normal temperature water, room temperature water?

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

He said,

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

No, I like to drink cold water.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

And he was asked, why? Why do you

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

like cold water? He said, because when I

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

drink cold water, Alhamdulillah

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

comes from the bottom of my heart.

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

He's thinking, how can I express the shukr,

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

the gratitude to Allah when I drink water?

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

If we know Allah

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

and you want his pleasure,

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

then our intentions

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

for every moment in our life will change.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:29

The intention to sleep

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

for a believer, for someone who's looking for

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34

the pleasure of Allah, is I am sleeping

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

to gain this energy so I can wake

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

up and worship him.

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

I'm eating to gain this nutrition so I

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

can worship him with strength.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

I'm spending on my family because this will

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

earn the pleasure of Allah. I'm sweating, I'm

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

working hard because this will earn the pleasure

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

of Allah. From morning to night becomes

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

the whole thing becomes a reason to seek

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

the pleasure of Allah.

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

Allah.

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

Until you get to a point where you

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

have reached the peak and Allah describes, this

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

is the top. This is what we should

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

aim for.

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

There are people who give up everything to

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

please Allah.

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

And Allah

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

is gentle with his servants.

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

So number 1, to see everything as an

00:14:25 --> 00:14:26

action of Allah.

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

Number 2, to desire only the pleasure of

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

Allah.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

Number 3,

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

to think well of Allah. To have the

00:14:35 --> 00:14:35

best

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

thoughts and the best expectations of Allah.

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

I want you to just imagine put yourself

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

in the shoes of Yaqub alayhis salam, Abu

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

Yusuf.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

The Abu Yusuf before me, much greater Abu

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

Yusuf than I could ever be.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

This Abu Yusuf Alaihi Salam,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

he's in a situation.

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

He's lost his son.

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

Years have passed. Decades have passed. And now

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

he's lost his second son, Binyamin.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

At this moment in time, really, he should

00:15:08 --> 00:15:09

be thinking,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

finish. The game is over.

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

You know, even in every country, there's a

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

rule. If somebody is missing for a certain

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

number of days, they announce them dead.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

Somebody is absent for 1 year, 6 months,

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

2 years. Khalas. The person is dead, they

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

announce them dead. They pray their funeral. In

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

many Muslim countries, they will pray their funeral

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

in absentia.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

They will assume the person has died because

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

it's impossible for such a person to be

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

missing for so long.

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

Yaqub alaihissalam after everything he he goes through

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

and everything he experiences.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

And his sons come back and they say,

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

oh, we lost your second son as well.

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

At this point, Yaqub, alayhis salam, should be

00:15:51 --> 00:15:53

he's blind. Remember, he's blind.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

Decades without his son. Now he's lost his

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

second son. This is the point in which

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

the knowledge of Allah is tested.

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

If you want to know whether you benefited

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

from the series,

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

you have to watch how you behave in

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

these hard moments, difficult moments in your life.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:12

When you experience loss, when you experience sadness,

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

when you experience anger, when you experience pain,

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

just watch yourself. That reaction, that's who you

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

really are.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

As the prophet says, your true character shows

00:16:23 --> 00:16:26

in that initial reaction, that initial response.

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

Yaqub alayhi salam's sons return.

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

They tell him, look, your second son, Ben

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

Yameen, is gone.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

Yaqub alayhi salam is just consumed with sadness.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

And it is in this moment he says,

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

I'll only complain

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

about my sorrow, my sadness of what has

00:16:48 --> 00:16:49

passed

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

and my anxiety for what is to come,

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

I will only complain to Allah. But people

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

quote this ayah, this part of the ayah,

00:16:56 --> 00:16:57

but they don't realize

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

the remaining part of the ayah is far

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

more important.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:07

You may ask,

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

what is it that allowed Yaqub alayhi salam

00:17:10 --> 00:17:11

to show these patients?

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

What is it that gave him this fuel,

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

this strength, is the last part of this

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

ayah.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

I know Allah.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:23

That's what he's saying.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

And you don't know him well enough.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

My creator

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

is the one when he promises me, he

00:17:31 --> 00:17:32

fulfills his promise.

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

My creator is the one when he closes

00:17:35 --> 00:17:36

one door, he opens another.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

My creator is the one when he takes

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

one son, he will give him back.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

He showed me the dream, he promised me

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

and I trust him.

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

Ibn Jadir Rabri

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

in his tafsir,

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

He

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

says,

00:17:55 --> 00:17:58

whenever Yaqub alaihis salam would get hit with

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

a difficulty,

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

Whenever he would be hit with a difficulty,

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

he would react by saying no.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is going to give

00:18:13 --> 00:18:14

me the best.

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17

I think positive of Allah.

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

I think I'm optimistic of Allah.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

I think Allah is going to return what

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

he took, open what he closed, give what

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

he seized. He is my creator. I know

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

him better than you.

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

And this is what allows him to always

00:18:32 --> 00:18:36

be in good thoughts of Allah. Having a

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

good expectation of Allah. Today so many of

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

us are pessimistic.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

The Ummah is destroyed.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:44

Oh, we are weak. Oh, the economy is

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

finished. Oh, I'm finished. This kind of destructive,

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

self destructive thinking. This was not the thinking

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

of the prophets because they knew Allah.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

They knew Allah.

00:18:53 --> 00:18:56

So they knew that he would always bring

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

the best result.

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

This sentence.

00:19:01 --> 00:19:02

I know Allah

00:19:02 --> 00:19:05

and you don't know him. This sentence was

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

repeated by another prophet in the Quran. Who

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

can tell me who he was?

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

Not Yusuf alaihis salaam.

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

Somewhere else in the Quran.

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

Not Adam alaihi salaam.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

Not Muhammad Sahasal.

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

Okay. You can give me the other eye

00:19:24 --> 00:19:25

if you want.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

Not Ayub. Wa a'lamu min Allahhimala taalamun. This

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

very sentence was repeated by another prophet in

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

the Quran.

00:19:34 --> 00:19:35

To be honest, this is a very hard

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

question. There's no chocolates for this question. Yes?

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

No. No, but close. Yes. Nuh alayhi salaam.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

Nuh alayhi salaam in the Quran threatens his

00:19:44 --> 00:19:45

people and he says,

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

don't mess with Allah.

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

I know Allah and you don't know Him,

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

don't mess with Him. He's gonna send you

00:19:52 --> 00:19:52

some punishments.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

Very often the prophets would say this to

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

their people. When they would be threatened, when

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

they would be tested, when they would be

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

in difficulty, I know Allah.

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

I know what to expect from

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

him. Even if you have bad expectations, don't

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

worry. I know Allah.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

We should always have good expectations of Allah.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

Think positively of Allah.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

So number 1,

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

to see everything in this world as action

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

of Allah

00:20:18 --> 00:20:19

and to look past

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

all the means of this world.

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

Number 2, to desire

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

only the pleasure of Allah.

00:20:25 --> 00:20:26

Number 3,

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

to think good of Allah.

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

Number 4,

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

to trust Allah and to trust Allah. The

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

knowledge of Allah, I said,

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

your knowledge of Allah, whether you know Allah

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

or you don't know him, it's going to

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

show in specific moments of your life.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

When you are in pain, when you are

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

in difficulty, when you are in misery, when

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

you are divorced, when you're losing your child,

00:20:52 --> 00:20:56

you are experience loss, difficulty, pain, fear. Now,

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

your knowledge of Allah is going to be

00:20:57 --> 00:20:58

tested now.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

Who can tell me about moments in the

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

life of each prophet? You know, we don't

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

know the whole life of every prophet.

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us the highlights.

00:21:08 --> 00:21:09

Only the highlights.

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

And the highlight of each prophet's life in

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

the Quran

00:21:13 --> 00:21:16

is a moment where he shows how deeply

00:21:16 --> 00:21:17

he knows Allah.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

You tell me the name of the prophet,

00:21:19 --> 00:21:20

I will tell you the moment.

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

Yes?

00:21:25 --> 00:21:26

Nuh alayhi salaam.

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

When his son is about to drown.

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

What does he do? When he reaches shore,

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

he calls out to Allah.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

Oh Allah, my son is from mine. He's

00:21:39 --> 00:21:42

begging Allah. He knows of Allah's mercy.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:44

Yes.

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

What is the moment in Ibrahim alaihis salam's

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

life? The pivotal moment.

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

When he's thrown into the fire. What does

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

he say the moment he's thrown?

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

We don't know what did Ibrahim say in

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

the fire.

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05

I know Allah. He's enough for me. In

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

fact, according to some narrations, Jibril alayhi salam

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

is sent down.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

And he says to Ibrahim alayhi salam, can

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

I help you? You're burning in the fire.

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

Can I help you? He says,

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

not from you. Yes from Allah. Direct help

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

from Allah. I don't need you.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

When

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

when Ayub is sick, when his sickness reaches

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

the pinnacle where he feels he's going to

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

die from sickness,

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

what does he say?

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

Oh Allah,

00:22:41 --> 00:22:42

evil has touched me,

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

but you are the most merciful. The names

00:22:45 --> 00:22:48

of Allah always feature in these difficult moments

00:22:48 --> 00:22:49

in life of the prophets. Give me more

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

more prophets.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:51

Yes.

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

Where what is the pivotal moment in the

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

life of Musa 'alayhi wa sallam? The highlight

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

moment.

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

If you were to pick one moment.

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

When he's going to speak to Firaun?

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

This is one, when he's going to speak

00:23:02 --> 00:23:04

to Firaun. There's one more. There's two highlights.

00:23:06 --> 00:23:07

When he stands in front of the scene.

00:23:09 --> 00:23:10

What does he say in front of Firaun?

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

What's the first question Firaun asks Musa?

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

The first question Firaun asks Musa.

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

That's not a question.

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

After. It comes after.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

The first question Firaoun asks Musa is, who's

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

Allah?

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

That's the first speech Musa alayhi wa sallam

00:23:34 --> 00:23:35

gives to Firaun.

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

Who is Allah?

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

The second pivotal moment in his life when

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

he stood in front of the sea.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:44

Who can give me the aya?

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

Musa.

00:23:49 --> 00:23:50

His people say we are.

00:23:51 --> 00:23:52

See this is the test.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

This is the test. Do they know Allah?

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

They don't know Allah

00:23:55 --> 00:23:56

enough.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

They don't know Him deeply enough. What's Musa's

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

reaction?

00:24:02 --> 00:24:03

Rabbi Sayyadeen.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:06

Two names of Allah, Al Hadi, Arrab, feature

00:24:06 --> 00:24:07

in this moment of his life.

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

Yusuf alaihis salam.

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

He has many moments in his life.

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

Whether he's in the well, or he's in

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

the prison or when the dream comes true,

00:24:17 --> 00:24:20

you watch the names of Allah are there.

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

In the pivotal moments of life, our knowledge

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

of Allah is tested.

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

And more than anything else, there's one

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

special action we have to show and it's

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

a spiritual deed. It's not an action of

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

the limbs. It's a muscle in the heart.

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

But if you never flexed it before, don't

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

think you can lift 120 kilograms from day

00:24:39 --> 00:24:41

1. You have to start by lifting something

00:24:41 --> 00:24:41

small.

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

It is the muscle

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

of

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

to rely and to trust upon Allah.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:49

This moment where Musa stood in front of

00:24:49 --> 00:24:51

the sea and everyone gives up and he

00:24:51 --> 00:24:52

says,

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

Allah is with me. He's going to show

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

me the way. This is trust in Allah.

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

I have nothing, but Allah is going to

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

show me the way.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:01

This moment Ibrahim

00:25:01 --> 00:25:02

is in the fire. He wants to defy

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

the laws of physics.

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

You know, it's a fire. Physics finish. You're

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

supposed to burn. He says, no, I trust

00:25:10 --> 00:25:13

Zakariya alaihis salam. What's the pivotal moment in

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

his life?

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

The only moment really we know about Zakariya

00:25:17 --> 00:25:18

in the Quran.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:23

When Zakariya alaihis salam reaches an old age

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

and he just wants a child,

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

he's asking Allah for a child.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

What does he say?

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

Always the knowledge of Allah is there in

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

these words, in these sentences.

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

Who can tell me what was the worst

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

day in the life of the prophet sallallahu

00:25:49 --> 00:25:49

alaihi wa sallam?

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

Not Amur Husin. When

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

he was in Thayf. When he was in

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

Thayf.

00:25:55 --> 00:25:56

According to Hadith,

00:25:56 --> 00:25:59

Hadith of Aisha radhiallahu anha, when she asks

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

the Prophet, what was the most difficult day

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

you faced?

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

He says the worst day of my life

00:26:04 --> 00:26:05

was the day of Thayf.

00:26:06 --> 00:26:07

The day when I went,

00:26:08 --> 00:26:09

it wasn't the year of sadness.

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

I lost my uncle. I lost my wife.

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

I had nobody. I had nothing.

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

I went to my distant relatives in Taif

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

hoping maybe they will help me, and they

00:26:18 --> 00:26:20

stoned me until blood reached my sandals.

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

So I sat there

00:26:23 --> 00:26:24

bleeding.

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

The prophet

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

raises his hands.

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

Hadith, authenticity is disputed.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

But Quran tells us,

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33

so I'll mention it.

00:26:34 --> 00:26:36

It's a long dua he makes to Allah.

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

Oh Allah,

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

I complain to you my weakness,

00:26:45 --> 00:26:48

my struggle. I have nobody to support me.

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

Oh Allah, who will I turn to?

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

Am I going to turn and rely on

00:26:57 --> 00:26:59

this tribe who are going to then pulverize

00:26:59 --> 00:27:00

me?

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

Who will I turn to other than you?

00:27:03 --> 00:27:05

This is the moment in his life.

00:27:05 --> 00:27:07

If he knows Allah, the right words will

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

escape his mouth. If he doesn't know Allah,

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

he will give up. But his knowledge of

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

Allah showed in this moment.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:17

Adam alayhi salaam.

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

The greatest test of his life is when

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

he was thrown from Jannah to this earth.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:24

And what is the first thing he says

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

as he lands?

00:27:33 --> 00:27:36

What are the words that escape his lips?

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

What's the pivotal moment in the life of

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

you, Nous salAllahu alayhi salam?

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

In the belly of the whale, what's the

00:27:48 --> 00:27:49

first thing he what does he say in

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

the belly of the whale?

00:28:01 --> 00:28:02

The names of Allah,

00:28:02 --> 00:28:04

the beseeching of Allah.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

You see, this is the pattern.

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

And in Suratul Anbiya, the ayahs are recited

00:28:09 --> 00:28:12

at the beginning. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala identifies

00:28:12 --> 00:28:15

this pattern. He talks about Zakaria and Nur

00:28:15 --> 00:28:18

and Dawud and Suleyman and Ibrahim, one after

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

the other and then he concludes.

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

The fact that they know Allah means they

00:28:27 --> 00:28:30

used to raise to please Allah through good

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

deeds.

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

They used to call us in fear

00:28:37 --> 00:28:38

and in hope.

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

And they were always trembling in the awe

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45

of Allah, Al Khushur.

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

To trust Allah.

00:28:51 --> 00:28:54

This is the greatest of in the

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

most difficult moments of your life.

00:28:57 --> 00:28:59

This is what is going to be tested.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

Do you trust Allah? That's what's gonna get

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

you through the other side.

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

If you don't know Allah, how can you

00:29:04 --> 00:29:05

trust him?

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

How can you rely on someone you don't

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

know?

00:29:09 --> 00:29:12

Today, one brother from this audience brought me

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

to the Masjid today. He picked me up.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:16

I called him half an hour before the

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

class. Brother, can you pick me up in

00:29:18 --> 00:29:19

half an hour?

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

For me to do that,

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

imagine if he's an unreliable person,

00:29:25 --> 00:29:26

I would have reached here tomorrow.

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

For me to call him half an hour

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

before the class means what? I think he

00:29:30 --> 00:29:31

is

00:29:31 --> 00:29:33

reliable, which means I have to know him.

00:29:33 --> 00:29:34

Right? I have to trust him.

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

We make these decisions on a day to

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

day basis. Every day, we make these decisions.

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

We choose to trust and we choose to

00:29:40 --> 00:29:43

distrust people and things and objects and processes.

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

But the greatest mistake we make in our

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

lives is the choice not to trust Allah

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

and instead to put our trust in human

00:29:49 --> 00:29:50

beings.

00:29:51 --> 00:29:53

This is where we get the most disappointment

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

in our life.

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, this is

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

why he says to Abdullah ibn Abbas radiAllahu

00:30:00 --> 00:30:00

anhu.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:09

If you're going to ask, ask Allah. Trust

00:30:09 --> 00:30:11

Him. Nobody else will give you the outcome

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

that you want.

00:30:13 --> 00:30:14

So

00:30:14 --> 00:30:17

the 4 things, the 4 actions to live

00:30:17 --> 00:30:18

the names of Allah. Number 1, to see

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

everything as action of Allah.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

Number 2, to desire only the pleasure of

00:30:23 --> 00:30:23

Allah.

00:30:24 --> 00:30:26

Number 3, to think the best of Allah.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:29

Number 4, to trust Allah over anything else.

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

And number 5,

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

the last but not least.

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

Every day of your life,

00:30:37 --> 00:30:38

you should look forward

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

and you should hope and be excited

00:30:42 --> 00:30:43

to meet Allah.

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

If you know Allah,

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

you should be excited to meet him.

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

In Sunan and Nasai,

00:30:52 --> 00:30:53

in a hadith I spent a long time

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

researching,

00:30:55 --> 00:30:56

and I can tell you to the best

00:30:56 --> 00:30:58

of my knowledge, this hadith is authentic.

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

Hadith of Atayid Musaib An Abihi, That

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

one day, Ammar ibn Yasser,

00:31:08 --> 00:31:10

he pray he leads the companions of the

00:31:10 --> 00:31:11

Prophet in salah,

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

and he prays a really short salah.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

So some people came to him, they said,

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

why was the salah so short? What's going

00:31:17 --> 00:31:17

on?

00:31:18 --> 00:31:19

He said, it's okay. Even if it was

00:31:19 --> 00:31:22

a short salah, because I said something in

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

the salah, I made a dua that I

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

heard from the mouth of the prophet

00:31:26 --> 00:31:27

So

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

somebody followed him after that.

00:31:33 --> 00:31:34

What were the words that you said in

00:31:34 --> 00:31:35

salah?

00:31:36 --> 00:31:37

I want you to listen to these words

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

because these are the words of the messenger

00:31:39 --> 00:31:40

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:46

Oh Allah, you know the unseen.

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

And you have control over all creation.

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

Oh Allah, keep me alive if you know

00:31:57 --> 00:31:58

being alive is good for me.

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

Make me pass

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

if dying is better for me. Oh,

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

Allah, I ask you to make me fear

00:32:12 --> 00:32:12

you

00:32:13 --> 00:32:15

in the seen and the unseen.

00:32:18 --> 00:32:21

Oh, Allah. Let me speak the truth when

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

I am pleased and when I am angry.

00:32:26 --> 00:32:27

And I ask you to make me balanced

00:32:27 --> 00:32:28

when I am rich and when I am

00:32:28 --> 00:32:29

poor.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:33

And I ask you for pleasure which never

00:32:33 --> 00:32:34

ends, I. E. Paradise.

00:32:38 --> 00:32:40

And give me the coolness of my eyes

00:32:41 --> 00:32:42

in a way that never ends.

00:32:45 --> 00:32:47

And I ask you for your pleasure after

00:32:47 --> 00:32:48

my judgment.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:52

And I ask you for

00:33:00 --> 00:33:01

And I ask you for the coolness

00:33:03 --> 00:33:04

of life after death.

00:33:50 --> 00:33:52

And I ask you for the sweetness

00:33:52 --> 00:33:53

of being able to see you.

00:33:58 --> 00:34:00

And I ask you to grant me the

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

desire and the yearning to meet you.

00:34:06 --> 00:34:08

In a time when there's no harm,

00:34:10 --> 00:34:12

and there's no test.

00:34:12 --> 00:34:12

Allah

00:34:15 --> 00:34:17

Oh Allah beautify us with the beauty of

00:34:17 --> 00:34:17

iman.

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

And make us of those who are who

00:34:22 --> 00:34:23

guide and who are guided.

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

The main sentence in this dua that I

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

want you to pay attention and what a

00:34:28 --> 00:34:30

beautiful dua from a messenger who knows his

00:34:30 --> 00:34:31

Lord.

00:34:35 --> 00:34:37

Oh Allah, grant me the sweetness of seeing

00:34:37 --> 00:34:38

You.

00:34:42 --> 00:34:44

And grant me the yearning, the desire, the

00:34:44 --> 00:34:45

hope to meet You.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

There are so many people we desire to

00:35:02 --> 00:35:04

meet in this worldly life. I

00:35:04 --> 00:35:05

remember

00:35:07 --> 00:35:08

as a child,

00:35:10 --> 00:35:12

the first time my father told me, Misha'il

00:35:12 --> 00:35:13

Al Fasi is coming

00:35:13 --> 00:35:16

to this country to lead salah. Oh, Allah.

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

For 4 weeks, I wanted to pray behind

00:35:19 --> 00:35:19

him.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

4 weeks. When is he coming? 2 Next

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

1 Next month. When is he coming? Next

00:35:24 --> 00:35:26

month. When is he coming?

00:35:26 --> 00:35:28

I just wanna I just want to see

00:35:28 --> 00:35:28

him.

00:35:29 --> 00:35:30

I'm never gonna have a conversation with him.

00:35:30 --> 00:35:31

I just want to pray. I just wanna

00:35:31 --> 00:35:32

see him from far

00:35:33 --> 00:35:34

because I love his recitation.

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

We all have people like that in our

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

lives. Sheikh Abdul Rashid, the Sufi came.

00:35:40 --> 00:35:42

People just they just wanna see him.

00:35:42 --> 00:35:43

They just want his autograph.

00:35:44 --> 00:35:45

They just want him to just touch their

00:35:45 --> 00:35:47

shoulder, then they're going to hang this robe

00:35:47 --> 00:35:49

and never wear it again.

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

We look forward to the meeting with certain

00:35:51 --> 00:35:52

people.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

Celebrities,

00:35:53 --> 00:35:55

special people, people we love. People we love

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

for the sake of Allah. We have a

00:35:57 --> 00:35:58

shock.

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

We have a yearning, a desire to meet

00:36:00 --> 00:36:01

them.

00:36:01 --> 00:36:02

What a tragedy.

00:36:03 --> 00:36:04

What a tragedy.

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

What a disaster. What a sadness.

00:36:08 --> 00:36:10

We have a yearning to meet every human

00:36:10 --> 00:36:11

being in this world.

00:36:11 --> 00:36:13

But we don't have that yearning to meet

00:36:13 --> 00:36:13

our creator.

00:36:15 --> 00:36:16

And so the prophet

00:36:16 --> 00:36:17

asks Allah,

00:36:17 --> 00:36:19

make me want to meet you. Ashok.

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

Give me the shok, the desire to see

00:36:22 --> 00:36:24

you. I want to see you. Give me

00:36:24 --> 00:36:26

that desire. Don't let that flame die in

00:36:26 --> 00:36:26

my heart.

00:36:28 --> 00:36:30

There will come moments, those moments in your

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

life, those pivotal moments.

00:36:32 --> 00:36:33

In the belly of the whale, the darkness

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

of the cave, the darkness of the prison,

00:36:35 --> 00:36:38

the pain of illness, the loss of a

00:36:38 --> 00:36:39

loved one, the difficulty

00:36:41 --> 00:36:41

of people,

00:36:42 --> 00:36:42

these

00:36:42 --> 00:36:44

these moments will come in your life.

00:36:45 --> 00:36:46

And what will get you through to the

00:36:46 --> 00:36:48

other side is

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

is you want to meet Allah.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

So you can walk through fire if you

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

need to. Because you know the other side,

00:36:56 --> 00:36:58

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is there and he's

00:36:58 --> 00:37:00

going to grant you better than you ever

00:37:00 --> 00:37:00

expected.

00:37:01 --> 00:37:02

This is the 5th thing. And so the

00:37:02 --> 00:37:05

5 actions that we have to live

00:37:05 --> 00:37:07

day to day in order to live the

00:37:07 --> 00:37:09

names of Allah. Number 1,

00:37:09 --> 00:37:11

I said them 4 times now, so you

00:37:11 --> 00:37:12

better remember them. Number 1,

00:37:13 --> 00:37:14

to see

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

everything

00:37:16 --> 00:37:19

as an action of Allah. Number 2, to

00:37:19 --> 00:37:19

desire

00:37:20 --> 00:37:23

the pleasure of Allah. Number 3, to expect

00:37:24 --> 00:37:27

the best from Allah. Number 4, to trust

00:37:28 --> 00:37:29

in Allah and to rely on Him. And

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

number 5, to desire,

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

to want to meet Allah.

00:37:33 --> 00:37:35

Note that all these five things

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

are 5 actions

00:37:38 --> 00:37:40

that you can't do with your body.

00:37:41 --> 00:37:43

These are the actions of the heart.

00:37:43 --> 00:37:45

These are the spiritual muscles. You have to

00:37:45 --> 00:37:48

start working them out and building on them

00:37:48 --> 00:37:49

until you can

00:37:50 --> 00:37:52

be of those who live a life in

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

the company of Allah.

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

Mahalla.

00:37:54 --> 00:37:56

This is what you have to reach. A

00:37:56 --> 00:37:57

life in the company of Allah. In the

00:37:57 --> 00:38:00

constant remembrance of Allah. In the constant trust

00:38:00 --> 00:38:02

of Allah. In the constant beseeching and dua

00:38:02 --> 00:38:04

and conversation with Allah. This is the life

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

worth living brothers and sisters.

00:38:06 --> 00:38:08

This is the life we ask Allah to

00:38:08 --> 00:38:09

take us from this dunya upon.

00:38:11 --> 00:38:12

To live

00:38:12 --> 00:38:15

with Allah. And there's a beautiful statement by

00:38:15 --> 00:38:18

by Imam Abu Taymih Rahmatullahi Alaihi where he

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

says,

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

He says if somebody knows Allah,

00:38:41 --> 00:38:43

really they know who Allah is. They will

00:38:43 --> 00:38:45

find the effects of that in every moment

00:38:45 --> 00:38:46

of their life.

00:38:46 --> 00:38:48

And every moment of their life, they will

00:38:48 --> 00:38:50

increase in their knowledge of Allah until they

00:38:50 --> 00:38:52

find the effects of that in their food,

00:38:52 --> 00:38:55

and their drink, and their sleep, and their

00:38:55 --> 00:38:57

awake, and their waking hours, and every action

00:38:58 --> 00:38:59

that they do.

00:39:00 --> 00:39:01

That is the life with Allah.

00:39:02 --> 00:39:03

And with that we come to the end

00:39:03 --> 00:39:05

of this series. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:39:05 --> 00:39:07

make all of us of those who benefited

00:39:07 --> 00:39:09

from what they learnt, who acted upon what

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

they learnt, whose lives and hearts were revived

00:39:11 --> 00:39:12

by what they learnt. May Allah make us

00:39:12 --> 00:39:14

of those who live life

00:39:14 --> 00:39:16

with Allah and may Allah make us of

00:39:16 --> 00:39:19

those who meet Allah and who gather in

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

His presence

00:39:20 --> 00:39:22

on a day in which there'll be no

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

shade except His shade. And

00:39:26 --> 00:39:28

the second part of this is going to

00:39:28 --> 00:39:29

be a quiz.

00:39:30 --> 00:39:31

And as we said before,

00:39:31 --> 00:39:32

there is a consensus

00:39:34 --> 00:39:35

between all of humanity.

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

Most beloved of prizes is the chocolates. The

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

chocolates. And

00:39:41 --> 00:39:42

because of the generosity

00:39:43 --> 00:39:44

of Masjid Al Furqan,

00:39:44 --> 00:39:46

it is not just chocolates

00:39:46 --> 00:39:48

but we got family packed chocolates.

00:39:49 --> 00:39:51

Yes. So nobody should say the Masjid is

00:39:52 --> 00:39:52

is

00:39:53 --> 00:39:54

is not generous.

00:39:54 --> 00:39:55

That's sanctioned

00:39:55 --> 00:39:56

inshallah.

00:39:57 --> 00:39:57

Okay.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:01

But not World Health Organization sanctioned, unfortunately. Thank

00:40:01 --> 00:40:02

you very much, Yusuf. JazakAllah.

00:40:04 --> 00:40:05

So question number 1.

00:40:09 --> 00:40:11

You're driving on a motorway

00:40:12 --> 00:40:13

and you find yourself,

00:40:14 --> 00:40:16

suddenly, you start to hear a screeching sound.

00:40:16 --> 00:40:18

Your tire is punctured.

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

You pull over on the hard shoulder and

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

you get out the car. You go to

00:40:23 --> 00:40:24

the boot only to find there's no spare

00:40:24 --> 00:40:25

tire.

00:40:25 --> 00:40:27

It also happens to be that you are

00:40:27 --> 00:40:29

not insured for breakdown cover.

00:40:30 --> 00:40:31

You're sat there.

00:40:33 --> 00:40:34

What do you say to Allah?

00:40:36 --> 00:40:37

Yes, Bismillah.

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

Have you ever been in this situation before?

00:40:42 --> 00:40:43

You sure?

00:40:44 --> 00:40:46

You look like a very experienced man.

00:40:49 --> 00:40:51

Yes, tell me.

00:40:57 --> 00:40:59

You think we'll come back to you? We'll

00:40:59 --> 00:41:01

give chance to some other uncles. Yes?

00:41:02 --> 00:41:03

Uncle Sayf Bismillah.

00:41:06 --> 00:41:08

Allah provides whom He wants with no accounting.

00:41:09 --> 00:41:10

So what are you going to say to

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

Allah?

00:41:11 --> 00:41:12

Standing on the hard shoulder.

00:41:44 --> 00:41:44

Why?

00:41:48 --> 00:41:50

We're gonna have to there's so many answers.

00:41:50 --> 00:41:51

We're gonna have to open the family pack.

00:41:51 --> 00:41:52

We're gonna have to,

00:41:53 --> 00:41:54

we're gonna have to do zakat distribution.

00:41:55 --> 00:41:56

Zakat.

00:41:57 --> 00:41:58

Can you catch?

00:41:58 --> 00:41:59

Can you catch?

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

Somalia should have cricket team, don't you think?

00:42:03 --> 00:42:04

We will start the cricket team, miss Mulla

00:42:04 --> 00:42:06

Sheik Sefur. It's a good answer.

00:42:07 --> 00:42:08

No, no, it's okay, Sefur. Please keep it.

00:42:08 --> 00:42:09

Keep it. Keep it.

00:42:10 --> 00:42:11

Yes. Who said Al Mu'in?

00:42:12 --> 00:42:13

Who's saying Al Mu'in?

00:42:14 --> 00:42:16

Sheikh, you are too far for me to

00:42:16 --> 00:42:17

throw this. It will go out the window.

00:42:17 --> 00:42:19

So we will do passing we will do

00:42:19 --> 00:42:21

we will pass the parcel inshallah, Bismillah.

00:42:23 --> 00:42:25

No. No. No. No. There's there's a reason

00:42:25 --> 00:42:27

why I'm not on the Somali Cricket team.

00:42:27 --> 00:42:30

They didn't accept me. Also because I'm not

00:42:30 --> 00:42:32

Somali but that's another story. Okay.

00:42:34 --> 00:42:36

Which name of Allah that we covered?

00:42:38 --> 00:42:39

There's 2 of them.

00:42:39 --> 00:42:41

Which name, pair of names of Allah only

00:42:41 --> 00:42:43

came once in the Quran?

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

Oh, Ammar too quick.

00:42:46 --> 00:42:47

Ammar too quick. Yes.

00:42:48 --> 00:42:49

Yes. Go on.

00:42:50 --> 00:42:50

Oh.

00:42:51 --> 00:42:53

Yeah. The Ibralo family pack, I think. Family

00:42:53 --> 00:42:54

pack.

00:42:55 --> 00:42:56

You're a dammah?

00:42:56 --> 00:42:59

You already have a snickers, yes? Khilas? Okay.

00:43:01 --> 00:43:02

InshaAllah,

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

a river of snickers for you in Jannabi.

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

Okay.

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

Which of the names of Allah means?

00:43:12 --> 00:43:13

The one who gives you

00:43:15 --> 00:43:16

a blessing

00:43:17 --> 00:43:19

in the cover and the guise of a

00:43:19 --> 00:43:20

difficulty. Yes?

00:43:21 --> 00:43:23

Allah tief, Masha'Allah,

00:43:24 --> 00:43:28

Masha'Allah, Masha'Allah. Masha'Allah, sneakers for Okay.

00:43:34 --> 00:43:36

There is a particular name of Allah,

00:43:36 --> 00:43:38

the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, two names.

00:43:39 --> 00:43:41

In the hardest times of his life, the

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

prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, it is narrated

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

he would use these two names and he

00:43:45 --> 00:43:46

was in severe difficulty. Yes.

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

Yeah. Yeah. Khalas. Give

00:43:50 --> 00:43:52

first family pack is going.

00:43:52 --> 00:43:55

Salaam. Backstage. No. No. It's okay. Listen, if

00:43:55 --> 00:43:56

you want to distribute it, it's up to

00:43:56 --> 00:43:58

you. Yeah. But I'm gonna give you the

00:43:58 --> 00:43:59

family pack inshallah. Okay.

00:44:02 --> 00:44:04

In Surah Maryam,

00:44:04 --> 00:44:06

there's one name of Allah which was mentioned

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

the most.

00:44:09 --> 00:44:11

In Surah Maryam, Aqib. If you can tell

00:44:11 --> 00:44:12

me the answer to this question, you will

00:44:12 --> 00:44:14

get a family pack.

00:44:14 --> 00:44:16

Allah Khala Aqib. He stole he stole it

00:44:16 --> 00:44:17

from you.

00:44:17 --> 00:44:19

This is, I realized I don't have enough

00:44:19 --> 00:44:20

family packs.

00:44:22 --> 00:44:23

Sheikh, can you catch?

00:44:25 --> 00:44:26

Yes, salaam.

00:44:27 --> 00:44:29

This is actually trials also for the Somalia

00:44:29 --> 00:44:30

Cricket team.

00:44:31 --> 00:44:32

Russian United.

00:44:37 --> 00:44:38

Okay. Okay.

00:44:40 --> 00:44:41

Which name of Allah?

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

What was the answer?

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

Ar Rahman.

00:44:48 --> 00:44:50

Which name of Allah

00:44:59 --> 00:45:01

Which name of Allah did the prophet sallallahu

00:45:01 --> 00:45:03

alaihi wa sallam mention when the Bedouin urinated

00:45:03 --> 00:45:05

in the corner of the masjid?

00:45:08 --> 00:45:11

When the Bedouin came, the masjid he urinated

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

in the corner.

00:45:12 --> 00:45:13

He said, 'O Allah, forgive

00:45:14 --> 00:45:15

me and Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam, but

00:45:15 --> 00:45:16

not all of these guys.'

00:45:16 --> 00:45:18

Then the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam said

00:45:18 --> 00:45:19

to him, one of the names of Allah

00:45:19 --> 00:45:21

he mentioned. I'm gonna give you one yes?

00:45:24 --> 00:45:26

Not Ar Rahman, no. Yes.

00:45:27 --> 00:45:27

Sorry?

00:45:28 --> 00:45:29

Not Arrab, yes.

00:45:30 --> 00:45:31

This

00:45:31 --> 00:45:32

is family pack.

00:45:34 --> 00:45:35

Flake bath, not sneakers.

00:45:40 --> 00:45:40

He says

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

You

00:45:43 --> 00:45:46

you narrowed something which is so vast,

00:45:46 --> 00:45:47

so wide.

00:45:47 --> 00:45:49

How much time you have till Asia?

00:45:49 --> 00:45:51

Oh. What time?

00:45:51 --> 00:45:52

6 minutes. 6 minutes.

00:45:53 --> 00:45:53

We have enough.

00:45:54 --> 00:45:55

6 minutes. Yes, Habibi?

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

Which name of Allah is mentioned most in

00:45:59 --> 00:46:00

the Quran?

00:46:00 --> 00:46:01

Haram.

00:46:01 --> 00:46:02

Who's

00:46:03 --> 00:46:04

Sajjad. You say sarab?

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

We'll give Sajjad family package, Shahram.

00:46:07 --> 00:46:09

Will you pass it? Pass it.

00:46:11 --> 00:46:12

Okay.

00:46:18 --> 00:46:20

Which name of Allah?

00:46:22 --> 00:46:23

The prophet

00:46:23 --> 00:46:25

heard somebody making dua,

00:46:26 --> 00:46:27

and he mentioned this name of Allah. And

00:46:27 --> 00:46:28

the prophet

00:46:28 --> 00:46:30

says, this is the name of Allah. When

00:46:30 --> 00:46:31

he is called, he answers.

00:46:32 --> 00:46:33

Yes?

00:46:35 --> 00:46:37

Samad. No, not Samad. Yes, Ammar.

00:46:38 --> 00:46:39

And how do you

00:46:40 --> 00:46:42

Okay. This is one. There's 2 there's 2

00:46:42 --> 00:46:44

narrations, 2 different situations. We'll go for the

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

second one. Yes? Yes. Yeah.

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

InshaAllah, you both get some snickers.

00:46:50 --> 00:46:51

Mashallah.

00:46:51 --> 00:46:53

You don't have diabetes in your family?

00:46:54 --> 00:46:56

Make sure you don't have it after this

00:46:56 --> 00:46:57

as well.

00:46:58 --> 00:46:59

Catch.

00:46:59 --> 00:47:00

Okay.

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

Okay.

00:47:05 --> 00:47:07

We have only 2 family packs left. The

00:47:07 --> 00:47:09

competition is getting strong now.

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

Okay.

00:47:27 --> 00:47:29

Which two names of Allah did Ibn Taymiyrahimullah

00:47:30 --> 00:47:31

he used to say them by himself 40

00:47:31 --> 00:47:32

times after fajr?

Yeah. He didn't catch even shaykh.

00:47:39 --> 00:47:40

It's okay. Yeah.

00:47:42 --> 00:47:43

What was the answer?

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

It's Ibn Khayyim narrated that ibn Taymiyyahahuallaha.

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

After fajr he used to say it 40

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

times.

00:47:50 --> 00:47:51

And he would say, this is my breakfast.

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

I cannot I don't have If I don't

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

00:47:55 --> 00:47:56

adkar,

00:47:56 --> 00:47:57

my words of remembrance.

00:48:03 --> 00:48:05

What is the difference between Malik and Malik?

00:48:08 --> 00:48:09

Yes, Luqman.

00:48:10 --> 00:48:12

1 of them is king and owner.

00:48:12 --> 00:48:13

1 of them is king, one of them

00:48:13 --> 00:48:14

is owner. Explain more.

00:48:16 --> 00:48:17

What's the difference between king and owner?

00:48:34 --> 00:48:34

You know

00:48:35 --> 00:48:37

what? Luqman deserves family pack. Do we all

00:48:37 --> 00:48:38

agree? Yes, Luqman.

00:48:39 --> 00:48:40

Okay.

00:48:41 --> 00:48:43

We only have one family pack left. What

00:48:43 --> 00:48:45

was the most frequent dua of the prophet

00:48:45 --> 00:48:46

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?

00:48:49 --> 00:48:51

I'm not gonna try to throw it inshallah.

00:48:51 --> 00:48:54

We're gonna pass it on safely, please. Yes.

00:48:54 --> 00:48:56

Rather than the corner. Okay. The last family

00:48:56 --> 00:48:57

pack is available.

00:49:01 --> 00:49:03

This is the bonus question. The last family

00:49:03 --> 00:49:04

pack is available.

00:49:06 --> 00:49:08

Yes, Sheikh? You want it for the Egyptians?

00:49:08 --> 00:49:09

We'll give a chance, insha'Allah. I don't know.

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

We'll give a chance to the Egyptians, insha'Allah.

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

Okay.

00:49:14 --> 00:49:16

Anybody want to suggest a question?

00:49:23 --> 00:49:24

Anybody want to suggest a question?

00:49:26 --> 00:49:26

00:49:29 --> 00:49:31

you asked the most difficult question.

00:49:32 --> 00:49:34

Answer the question. You can't answer the question.

00:49:35 --> 00:49:36

What are the 5 ways to apply the

00:49:36 --> 00:49:38

names of Allah in your life? Someone other

00:49:38 --> 00:49:39

00:49:43 --> 00:49:44

00:49:54 --> 00:49:55

To see everything action of Allah.

00:49:59 --> 00:50:01

To seek the pleasure of Allah.

00:50:02 --> 00:50:03

To trust in Allah.

00:50:04 --> 00:50:06

Have their best thoughts in Allah.

00:50:07 --> 00:50:08

Oh,

00:50:08 --> 00:50:09

Allahu Akbar.

00:50:10 --> 00:50:11

Kit Kat for You Sayyahu Islami.

00:50:12 --> 00:50:12

Okay.

00:50:13 --> 00:50:13

Before

00:50:13 --> 00:50:15

before Adan al Isha,

00:50:16 --> 00:50:18

I think the people online are wondering who

00:50:18 --> 00:50:19

are the genius kids.

00:50:19 --> 00:50:21

And the people of this masjid know

00:50:21 --> 00:50:23

that there have been 2 young boys.

00:50:24 --> 00:50:26

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has gifted them, really

00:50:26 --> 00:50:28

He has gifted them with incredible memory and

00:50:28 --> 00:50:29

intelligence.

00:50:30 --> 00:50:32

And we want these 2 young boys to

00:50:32 --> 00:50:34

be nothing less than scholars. Say amen.

00:50:34 --> 00:50:35

Amen. And

00:50:36 --> 00:50:38

we have a very tiny gift from the

00:50:38 --> 00:50:39

masjid

00:50:40 --> 00:50:41

to help them in their journey.

00:50:43 --> 00:50:44

The 2 young boys,

00:50:44 --> 00:50:47

mister Amal Mukherjee, mister Luqman, please come here.

00:50:47 --> 00:50:49

Come here, come here. I've already taken permission

00:50:49 --> 00:50:51

00:51:03 --> 00:51:04

come.

00:51:04 --> 00:51:07

This small envelope for mister Umar,

00:51:08 --> 00:51:09

the man of memory.

00:51:10 --> 00:51:12

And this small envelope for mister Amar, the

00:51:12 --> 00:51:13

man of deep thinking.

00:51:14 --> 00:51:15

May Allah

00:51:15 --> 00:51:17

grant them the ability to use this for

00:51:17 --> 00:51:19

his sake. Say amen.

00:51:19 --> 00:51:20

And if you see these boys in the

00:51:20 --> 00:51:22

masjid, look after them and give them gifts

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

and encourage them. And there are many other

00:51:24 --> 00:51:26

boys, masha'Allah, who are up and coming and

00:51:26 --> 00:51:27

we want to see all of them but

00:51:27 --> 00:51:28

they are the examples.

00:51:29 --> 00:51:29

And

00:51:30 --> 00:51:30

we know

00:51:31 --> 00:51:32

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, One

00:51:35 --> 00:51:36

of the reasons for righteous children is to

00:51:36 --> 00:51:38

have a righteous parents. And I have no

00:51:38 --> 00:51:39

doubt,

00:51:39 --> 00:51:41

not a shadow of a doubt that whatever

00:51:41 --> 00:51:44

good is in these young boys after the

00:51:44 --> 00:51:45

after the tawfiq of Allah it is their

00:51:45 --> 00:51:47

parents. So children

00:51:47 --> 00:51:49

and fathers and parents,

00:51:50 --> 00:51:52

please invest in your children, give them time.

00:51:53 --> 00:51:54

I know the parents

00:51:54 --> 00:51:56

of Umar and Luqman, the father.

00:51:57 --> 00:51:58

He gives a lot of time to his

00:51:58 --> 00:52:00

kids and he prioritize them over everything else

00:52:00 --> 00:52:01

and you see the results,

00:52:02 --> 00:52:04

give the same to your kids. And young

00:52:04 --> 00:52:05

kids, prioritize

00:52:05 --> 00:52:07

knowing Allah and learning about Him and His

00:52:07 --> 00:52:09

Messenger over everything else.

00:52:23 --> 00:52:26

Next week is the Furqan conference. InshaAllah, I

00:52:26 --> 00:52:28

think after the week, after that week, we

00:52:28 --> 00:52:31

will commence with another series if the Masjid's

00:52:31 --> 00:52:31
