made I'm just making up someone I've met CS biller and blood is
memorizing Quran and he's got just memorize and now he's onto the
29th Joe's and he's doing really good and then I'm it goes man, I

Yes Bilal got it Masha Allah How perfect is that right? Because I
haven't done below below. You're on it my shot. This is RIPTA Okay.
reputa is what? ripped it is a good form of jealousy right? It's
when you're competing for good things. So when you're trying to
gain knowledge what's the other reason the process that I'm said
you can have a VIP for so if you're it's good jealousy right?
It's good to compete with with someone for that. So one is
knowledge. What's the other thing who can remember? Come on? You
guys can do it. You've been doing amazing so far. Wisdom and
Knowledge kind of go hand in hand right? Because you have to be wise
you know or if you have knowledge hopefully you're wise right? Okay,
very good. f9 Masha Allah, it's what your gave is, I think a
pretty good answer. And Yousef as well, wealth or sadaqa. So the
means to to do things right? So if you see someone who has a lot of
wealth, you can have a grip for that person as long as your
intentions are good, right? You want to please
Allah subhanho wa taala. So you have that jealousy like, Oh, I
wish I had that kind of money so that I could do a lot of good in
the world, right? Like help orphans, right? This is a great
cause, right? Or build a masjid. So there's a lot of great things
that you could do with money. And if you have a gift for someone
who's wealthy, that's okay. Or for someone who has knowledge, you
guys are so amazing. JazakAllah headed, I love that you guys are
paying attention. And you're remembering stuff that makes me so
so so happy. So may Allah bless all of you. Now, are you ready to
start our third session, because we're going to introduce you to
three new diseases of the heart. You guys ready? Pay attention now.
Okay, we're in take some notes if you want to. But let me go ahead
and pull up my presentation to make sure that we are ready. So my
first screenshare Bismillah and I should be able to see my screen.
And now we're gonna go into presenter mode, and boom. Okay,
you guys see it? Yeah. Insha Allah, let me actually pull up the
chat so I can see what you guys are saying.
So what do you guys see on the screen? You see, week two sister
has said looks perfect. Okay. Alhamdulillah Thank you just like
okay, this is her. Alright, here we go. Ready? So week two, we had
week one last week, we did two sessions. This is where we're at
now. So we're going to cover these diseases this week and shallow.
Okay. For today's session, I only did the first three, just because
I've didn't have honestly enough time to prepare more. And also a
number 10 is a big one. And I want to kind of focus on that a little
bit more on Thursday. So we'll get through the remaining four
inshallah on Thursday. Okay, but for today, we're gonna go over
blameworthy modesty, which is higher than meme. And then that is
holding on to one's wealth. Oh, I'm sorry, did I not? Oh, no, I
think I unfortunately forgot to cut and paste the proper column
here on the right. Let me go back to the previous slide. I hopefully
have it here somewhere. We're just going to do a quick rewind, rewind
to here. This is where did we go? Not here, here. Alright, so we're
gonna go to number seven, eight and nine. Okay, so my bad I forgot
I didn't properly cut and paste this definition part of it. So I
apologize. So number seven, blameworthy. Modesty is shyness or
cowardice that prevents someone from addressing a wrong or
inquiring about a need? So what does that mean? It means when you
are too shy to act in the in a time where you should act, let's
say you're listening to a teacher like myself, or maybe you're at
the masjid. And there's a heartbeat going on. And they say
something that is not clear. Like maybe I say something to you,
that's not clear. And then you're like, Oh, should I ask or not?
Should I say something? Should I raise my hand and go Teacher?
Teacher? I didn't understand that. Right? Sometimes our shyness
prevents us from acting when we should. So we're going to talk
more, but that's just a quick example of that. Okay, blameworthy
thoughts. These are thinking about things that are prohibited, okay?
Like if you're just letting your mind kind of wander on, and you're
just thinking about things you shouldn't think about, and we'll
talk about what we mean with that, okay. But anytime you have
thoughts that are just really pointless, or it's a waste of your
time, that would fall under
thoughts, and then fear of poverty. So that is when you're so
afraid of, you know, not having enough food or wealth or material
things, that it creates this anxiety in you. And it almost
basically kind of destroys the way that you live your life, right? A
lot of people and it's somewhat kind of could be tied to
miserliness, because if you have a fear of poverty, it might lead you
to become someone who's hoarding their wealth, right? Because it's
like, oh, no, I can't spend too much money because, you know, I'm
going to be poor, or I'm going to not have a home to live in or, and
those thoughts can kind of just really take someone to a very dark
place where they lose, you know, complete trust in Allah subhanho.
So we're going to talk about those three diseases today. So let me
now fast forward really quickly and see how fast I can go. Okay,
and I'm going to click as fast as I can. Okay. Did it did well, how
fast was that? Nope, here we go. Here we go. Oh, wrong. What? Okay,
so here we are, we are on. Again, blameworthy modesty. So first,
before we even get to blameworthy modesty, let's be clear about what
the word modesty means. Okay. So, Muslims, we know this word, it's a
very big part of our faith. But sometimes we need to really have a
broad understanding of modesty, because it's not just about our
clothing. Okay, a lot of times we'll hear modesty, its reference
to dressing modestly. Right? But it's more than that. It's about
being humble and not showing off. And when we say showing off, this
obviously includes showing off our bodies right, which is why we
dress we cover. We dress modestly because we don't show off the
things that are private, right? I was proud that I told us to be
modest in the way that we dress. So it's about not showing off
Our bodies or our good deeds, skills, strengths, whatever gifts,
Allah subhanaw taala has given us if he's blessed us with, if you're
a modest person you don't show off, okay? Why? Because you're
confident you don't have a need, or a reason to be a show off.
Someone who shows off, they're insecure, right? They're insecure,
they feel like I have to show this because then I get attention. And
if I get attention, it makes me feel good about myself. Muslims,
we don't look to other people for attention, we look to Allah
subhanaw taala he's the only one whose opinion of us matters. So we
don't feel the need to walk around and strut our stuff. And you know,
show our skin because a lot of people in this culture, right you
see them all the bla and as the temperatures get warmer, they
start you know, wearing inappropriate clothing, right? And
when they do that, our job as Muslims because we don't judge
people, right? We do not judge people. We say that. I believe
everybody told us that. And I have actually a really good story that
I'm going to share in a moment about not judging people. But But
what when we see someone who's dressed in an inappropriate way,
we show our modesty by what lowering our gaze, right? So here,
Allah Subhana Allah tells us tell believing men to lower their
glances and guard their private parts, right? So you lower your
eyes so that you don't see things that are immodest. And you also
cover yourself, right? You cover your area, private area that is
pure for them. God is well aware of everything they do, and then
say to the bleeding women Oh, excuse me. Where am I? Sorry, you
guys. I'm Butter fingers here. Okay.
I'm trying to move this little chat box because it's in the way
of the text. So I apologize. Okay. So say to the believing women,
that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty that they
should not display their beauty and, and ornaments except what
must ordinarily appear, right, our hands our face, that they should
draw their veils over there wasn't so easy wear hijab, we cover
ourselves, right? This is how I was kind of instructs Muslim men
and women to dress we dress in a modest way. Right. And I'm just
going to quickly tell you guys a story. This really actually
happened to me. I was once at an airport. And this is a long time
ago, where I was younger, and I didn't know a lot of things. And I
thought that, you know, I'm better than people because I was wearing
hijab. And so I did I kind of let my arrogance, self righteousness,
which we'll talk about right? Sometimes you get a little too,
you think of yourself as better and this is dangerous is a disease
of the heart. But if you don't know it's a disease of the heart,
then you can have it. So when I was much, much younger, this
happened to me where I was in hijab, and I was at the airport,
and I was waiting for my ride. And all of a sudden I see this woman,
and she gets out of her car. You know, she's, you know, when you're
at the airport, and you're waiting for people to pick you up, you
have to kind of wait there, and all these cars are coming and
going. So she got out of her car, and she was dressed very
inappropriately. She was wearing shorts, very short shorts, and
like, you know, a tank top. And I just looked at her and I judged
her I did I thought like, wow, why she dress like that. It's so
wrong. And I had all these negative thoughts. And then
Subhanallah she ended up it was kind of a it was a very strange
experience for me, because I'm just waiting there. I don't know
her. She's a stranger, but she ended up closing the trunk of her
car, and she saw me. And then she started walking towards me. So I'm
like, Whoa, what's going on? Why is this woman who's like a
stranger walking to me, right? What is she going to say? And I'm
like, you know, so I kind of was like a little like, you know, just
paranoid, like what's gonna happen now, all of a sudden, she comes
in, she stands in a very humbled state, very humble. She has her
head down and she goes, and I'm on a comb. I know, I'm not dressed
very appropriately. You know, mela for forgive me. I'm a Muslim. I'm
a convert. And I'm raising my son to be a Muslim. I saw you and I
was so happy. Because I thought maybe you can help me give me some
recommendations for children's book because I want to raise my
son as a Muslim. So she's saying all of this stuff to me. Subhan
Allah, right. She's not dressed modestly. I'm dressed modestly.
But this is where we look at the hearts right? Her heart was in
such a good state because she recognized her mistake. She was
humble, and she wanted to be better. But I let arrogance in my
heart, right? I thought I was better and I was judging her. And
then Allah, he's the one who made this whole event happen, right?
She, i There's no way I would have ever thought she was a Muslim, the
way she was dressed. But Allah wanted me to have that experience
because it did. It changed my mind about a lot of things. I started
to really look at my heart more and say, Oh, sigh How could you
have let your heart become so filled with arrogance that you
walk around judging people because of the way that they're dressed?
Right that
It's not for you to do. You don't judge people. We don't judge
people, we know what's right and what's wrong. But we leave the
judgment to Allah subhanaw taala. Right there, he's the only one who
judges. So when we say that, yes, we live in a society where a lot
of people are not dressed appropriately, our job is not to
look down on them, because they don't know many times people don't
know, this woman, she was a convert, and she was trying to be
better. So you know, just like Islam took 23 years to complete.
Some people, they take time getting good habits, so we just
have to leave the judgment alone. But what we do, instead of judging
them, we turn our gaze away. And we wish well for them that Allah
guides them, okay? So that's what this hadith is telling us to lower
your gaze Don't you know, judge other people lower your gaze, and
I wanted to share that story. So that you have an example of when
sometimes it's not black. So black and white, you know, you might see
a Muslim and think, Oh, they're amazing. And then you see someone
dressed like that and think, look at them. But if you really, you
know, judge that situation, who was who was better and who wasn't
right, she was much better than me. And that was a humbling moment
for me. And I'm so grateful to Allah that He did that for me,
because it literally changed everything. My perception of
everything was different. Then I started looking at the diseases of
the heart, and realizing I had a lot of them. And that's how I
handled I benefited from this amazing science of, you know,
purification of the heart. So 100 Okay, so now, what else do we know
about modesty? Okay, here we have another Hadith where pura EBVs
reported that we were once with the Messenger of Allah, so Allah
He was sent him when modesty was mentioned to him. And someone
said, O Messenger of Allah is modesty, part of faith, and the
prophesy centum said, what rather it is the entire religion Subhan
Allah so this is a very big part of being a Muslim. Then he said,
Verily modesty, abstinence reticence of the tongue, but not
the heart, and deeds are all part of faith they bring gain in the
hereafter and loss in the world. What is gained in the hereafter is
much greater than what is missed in the world. So why did I put
that phrase reticence of the tongue, but not the heart in
yellow? Because this is telling us that reticence means when you're
holding back, right, you're holding back, we should hold back
with our tongues when we, you know, maybe there's a situation
that, you know, we don't like or you know, where the judgment might
take over. We shouldn't comment, but not in our heart or in our
heart, we should be very clear about what's right and what's
wrong. Okay. And that kind of ties into what blameworthy modesty is.
So let's be a little bit more clear here. So again, modesty,
something's a whole religion, every part of us we should I mean,
our part of our faith thing is, modesty is a big part of that. But
we have to understand that this quality has to be in balance
right? Between one spiritual heart and one's conscience. So here we
have praiseworthy modesty activates the conscience, right,
and protects the spiritual heart. It helps one to lower the gaze,
protect the heart from being exposed to things that bring it
harm. But blameworthy modesty impairs the conscience and by
extension, the spiritual heart. It prevents one from acting or
speaking up when it is necessary. And it invites cowardice into the
heart to become a coward, right? That's what blameworthy. Modesty
does. You're not very courageous, when you have blameworthy modesty
and this is not part of our faith, we should be people of courage
with Allah Subhan. Allah with that. All right. So let's look
again at some examples. So for example, as I said earlier, not
asking questions about one's Deen out of shyness. So if you're ever
not clear about something, but because you don't want to
embarrass yourself with your friends, in the class, or you you
know, maybe in a situation where you don't know all the students,
you feel a little awkward about talking. Remember this, you don't
want to have blameworthy modesty, it's much more important that you
speak up and you don't have to speak up right then and there.
Maybe after the class, right? You can go to the teacher and say, Mr.
Or, you know, sister or brother or, you know, Chef, or chef, ah, I
didn't understand when you said this, can you please explain it to
me, but not to be shy in the class, and then even after the
class go on, I don't want to go up to the teacher and, you know, and,
and have, you know, this conversation with them. That's too
embarrassing, because then it's like, I didn't know and everybody
else seemed to get it. And I don't want to look like I'm not smart.
And all of those thoughts. That's what blameworthy. Modesty is
right? When you sit there and you have this conversation with
yourself, that you're too worried about how you look in front of
other people, and it prevents you from learning, right? And so at
the bottom you see this hadith here.
of Asia, the Prophets wife, may Allah be pleased with her said,
How excellent are the women of the unsought? These are the women of
Medina, right? They do not allow shyness to prevent them from
asking questions and understanding the religion. So she's making an
observation here that says what? That look at how amazing these
women are. The answer are they ask their questions, they're not clear
about something, they're not going to go, Oh, I'm just going to, it's
okay. I'll pretend like I understood it. Right. And it did.
This doesn't have to just be for religion. You know, let's say
you're in a math class or you're in another class, you know, you
should, you know, have the courage to always if there's some
knowledge that's being taught to you, and you don't get it to make
that a priority instead of yourself, right. It's not about
how you appear, because very wise people are okay, admitting that
they don't know Imam Malik, who was one of the great 40 memes of
you know, of the schools of fish that we have, he was known to very
commonly say, I don't know, when people would ask him questions, he
would say, I don't know. And this shows, not that he doesn't have
knowledge, but the opposite, that he's actually very wise. And he
had he, I mean, he was very, very knowledgeable. He's one of the
great Imams, but he had the humility to know when he didn't
know, right, and so we shouldn't let our shyness of not knowing
prevent us from knowing that's what blameworthy. Modesty is one
example. Another is not standing up for someone who's been wronged.
So if you see a situation, let's say there's a bully, right? And
he's bullying, or she's bullying someone, and you're just standing
there, you know what's wrong, but how do you can't find the courage
to say something, right, or to do something to put a stop to it, we
find this problem everywhere. Now in schools, and in other places, a
lot of people, not just youth, but like adults, too. They freeze up
and they don't say something when they should, and then they watch
it. And instead, unfortunately, with phones, now, they're
recording it, you know, so it's like, you're you're watching
someone get beat up in front of you. And instead of acting, you're
just gonna record the video. Like, that's really not good, right?
Because you're, you're not helping these people at all the one who's
doing the, the harming and the one who's being harmed, both of them
need help. Right. And that's what Muslims are called to do the
process, I'm told us, You we help, you know, the oppressed and the
oppressor, and we help the oppressor by stopping him from
being oppressive. So you want to separate people when they're
fighting, because, you know, the one is getting hurt, but the other
one is also causing a lot of damage. So let's help both of them
if this happens, you know, especially with friends or people
that you know, you should be worried about both not having the
courage to stand up to an unjust person. So in the first situation,
you're not protecting someone who's being harmed. But in the
next situation, it's where you, you're not confronting that person
who's doing the bullying, right? And saying, Listen, what you're
doing is wrong, and you need to stop it. This is all you know,
part of again, what what can take over someone if they have
blameworthy modesty, and then also not participating in something
worth worthwhile and beneficial out of shyness. So this is similar
to, you know, what we've talked about, which is you see something
either that's harmful that you should address, or that's
beneficial, but your shyness prevents you from getting it, like
the knowledge Right? Or let's say you, you know, everybody, all of
your cousins and friends want to go somewhere. And maybe you,
you're kind of like, let's say they want to go roller skating,
okay, and you've never roller skated before. But the idea of it
is like, oh, man, I don't want to do it, because I don't know how to
do it. And I don't want to go and embarrass myself. So then you you
don't go you end up going, Oh, I don't want to go all because you
let this shyness prevent you from actually benefiting. You're going
to spend time with your cousins and friends. You might learn a new
skill, but there's a shyness there that prevents you that's
blameworthy modesty. Okay. So hopefully this disease is clear.
Now how can we get rid of it? Or how can we treat it? Well, the
first thing is that you put the pleasure of Allah Subhana Allah
before anyone else, okay? You're always thinking as Muslims we're
always always always thinking first. Will this make Allah
subhanaw taala happy or will it not make him happy? That is it
with everything that you do from the moment you wake up until the
moment you sleep? That should be your thought process and
everything because everything we know as Muslims our deen is
complete Allah has given us answers about everything through
the Muslims example but our deen we know right and wrong. And we
know and if you don't know that's what you have your parents for and
other people, you ask questions, but in your mind you that's how
you check yourself and that's how you prevent che Don, from making
you do things that are wrong. You have that question? Is this going
to make Allah happy or not happy? And then you act right? But this
is how we should be. So if we start putting that into
practice, you'll find that even if you're uncomfortable something if
you're thinking, Okay, if Allah will be happy with me, I'll do it,
then Inshallah, that courage will start to grow in your heart,
because you're always thinking of making almost another happy with
you. Okay? And I see a quick question. I'm seeing the chat box,
but I'm sorry, I'm not able to answer every question. But this
one is an important one that I do want to talk about real quick, if
you're scared of getting hurt, okay? Now the word vulnerable
comes from, I think it's Greek or Latin from boldness, which means
to be open to injury, okay? And it means to be open to being wounded,
okay? That's why we're, when we're ever in a situation where we're
afraid to act, yes, that's part of it, we're worried, we're worried
that we're going to be rejected or embarrassed or humiliated. All of
those things, right. But part of the youth experiences, you're kind
of in a test phase of your life where you're leaving childhood,
and you're growing into becoming an adult. And just like every
adult, before you, all of us went through the same experience. And
every child after you will go through the same experience where
you have to kind of test things out and get better and better.
It's like a practice sort of phase, right? So if you want to
grow and kind of go through that process, a little bit in a better
way, without too many bumps along the road, then you have to say,
You know what, there's a first time for everything, and I got to
try it, and I have to muster up the courage. And even if I'm
worried about everything, it's okay, it's probably I'm probably
making too much of a big deal out of it in my mind. Because if
there's, you know, adults in the room, Inshallah, they're all
mature enough, they're not gonna laugh at you or embarrass you or
anything like that. Rather, they will probably encourage you, even
if things don't go your way, let's say like, go back to the roller
skating example, if you're gonna, if you don't want to go roller
skating, because you don't want to fall, right? I've, it's happened
to me several times, even as an adult, you know, you can either
fall and then make yourself feel bad and think, oh, my gosh, I'm so
embarrassing. And oh, why did I do this? I'm so failure. I don't even
know how to roller skate, I have no coordination and let all those
negative thoughts come in your mind. Or you can say, Dude, I just
really just get it for the first time. And it's okay, at least I
had the courage to do it. And even if I fell, oh, well, people fall
all the time, even professional skaters fall, there's people who
have been at the Olympics and they fall. So fouling is just part of
human human experience. Gravity is a force. So it's not that big of a
deal. And instead of letting you know, you know, shaytaan, or your
own nafs, make you feel weak. You want to say, You know what, let's
just get back up and laugh it off. It's no big deal. Whatever. You
know, when I used to do when I was a kid, I would always like if I
tripped over something, I would always pretend like it was a new
dance move. So I would just like, oh, yeah, check it out. That was
that was just me being cool. And I would just say something silly.
And then everybody would laugh, right? Because my attitude was I'm
not embarrassed by this. I'm a human and it's okay to fall or
have, you know, slip here and there. Even if you're talking like
I've been speaking publicly for a long time. Sometimes when you
first start off, you get nervous and you're like a book, you say
things like that. It's okay. Because the more you do it, the
better you get at it, and then you look back at those times, you just
love like, oh, yeah, that was me practicing, you know, as my
practice runs, and it's okay that you have those experiences. So you
gotta get out of that mentality that, oh my gosh, I'm gonna I'm so
scared of being looked at and embarrassed, strong. People are
like, You know what? It's okay, it happens. You know, I'm just gonna
keep trying to push forward. Okay. So thank you for that question.
Now, another thing to get rid of this is to ask questions. When you
don't understand something, force yourself, get into that habit. I
don't get it. I need more clarity. Because you know what? It's not
that you necessarily have a, you know, like you, you didn't
understand it. And you're, there's something wrong with the way that
your brain worked? What if it's the teacher? What if the teacher
didn't explain things correctly? I'm a teacher, certainly, we are
not perfect. There's times where we don't do a good job explaining
something so the students are confused. That's our fault. That's
not your fault. So what you want to do is if anytime you don't
understand something, ask with humility, right? Don't assume that
the teacher just failed to explain it right? Just ask with humility
and say, Teacher, I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand something.
But remember that it might not be that you didn't understand it?
Well, it might be that the teacher didn't explain it. Well, by asking
with humility and a dove, this is always good. You allow the teacher
to correct themselves, right. The teacher will come back and and
hopefully explain it better for you inshallah. So but find that
courage to be I'm going to ask that question. Okay. And then
practice more courage and use judgment when you see something
wrong or an injustice. For example, you know, I said about
the bullying thing. If you're seeing a situation where there's a
physical fight, you don't have to jump in. Okay. What I said earlier
about stopping the fight and separating the people. I'm not
saying to
unnecessarily get in to the fight and hurt yourself or get hurt. You
don't need to do that. The judgment comes in to say this is
wrong. And instead of watching it happen and freezing, like, oh my
gosh, this is Whoa, this is crazy. I'm just going to watch it. The
judgment says, This is wrong, I need to go get an adult. And you
you're the one that leaves your backpack tells a friend watch
this, I have to go run. And you go get the nearest teacher and say,
Teacher, teacher, come here, there's a fight happening. That is
being a wise person, because what you're doing is saying, I don't
want to just let this happen and unfold and have an injury and
someone really get hurt. And there's been some really terrible
accidents. You know, recently, like last year, I remember reading
a story about a fight that happened in a school. And one of
the students was unfortunately killed, he actually died because
when the other student hit him, he fell and on a something like a
cement piece that was very hard and his head, hit it really hard,
and he was injured, and then he eventually died. So you never, God
forbid, want to let people in that type of situation, get all the
blood carried away. But imagine you can save lives just by going
and getting an adult. Okay, so that's what courage does. And
that's the opposite of this quality of blameworthy modesty. So
inshallah that's the first disease of the heart, we need to move
forward to the next one. So let's go ahead. This is going to this is
about the next diseases of the heart. So did you know, sorry, let
me move this. I don't know if you guys can see all of everything on
my screen, like the chat box and everything. But if you can, sorry.
So did you know that the average person the average person means
you can't obviously go around asking every single person on the
planet? So what we do is we just kind of take a poll and then
determine how many people from that group of people this would
apply to so the average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts
per day. That's a lot of thoughts. Right? If you think about it, for
the moment, you wake up until you sleep, you're thinking all the
time, your brain never really shuts off. Even when you're
watching something like on TV or playing a game, you're playing a
game, your brain is definitely active. But if you're doing
something more passive, like watching a show or a film, your
brain is very active, because it's understanding everything, it's
processing everything. It's taking all those images in. Right. So
there's a lot of activity and thoughts that are happening. But
of those thoughts, this is what's really fascinating. 80% are
negative SubhanAllah. Isn't that sad? This is why is that the case?
Why is that the case that 80% more than 50% of our thoughts are
negative thoughts. Right? They're not good thoughts? Well, we have
we know from our tradition, shaitan is real, right? He, He is
the Whisper he likes to take away good feelings, good thoughts, good
experiences, even our prayers, right? When we stand up for
prayers, He loves to distract us. And suddenly we're thinking about
things that we weren't even thinking about at all, because he
likes to this, put all those thoughts in our mind. So 80% of
those thoughts are negative, and then 95% are exactly the same
repetitive thoughts from the day before. So we tend to think about
the same things over and over and over and over again, this is the
human being this is why you know, we say almost father created us
with these, you know, issues and we have to do the work of
purification of the heart and of the you know, of the of the mind
and the tongue and all of the things that we have, we have to
purify our thoughts. We have to purify these things. And there's
ways to do that in sha Allah. Okay, so let's look here. Next
slide.
So what are specific things that we shouldn't think about? Okay,
because negative thoughts can fall under a lot of different
categories. You know, we could cover a lot of things, but we're
going to talk specifically about two things. First thing that
blameworthy thoughts are thoughts that are not good. Our thoughts
are about the nature of ALLAH SubhanA wa at that okay. We have
almost one has revealed Himself to us through the 99 names that a
smile hosts now, which are the attributes of Allah subhanaw
taala. And of course, we have the Quran which are his words, and
only his words. And then we have the Hadith could see which are
sort of like their revelations, that last point that I gave to the
prophesy centum they're not in the Quran, they're in the Hadith. But
all of these things are also part of the teaching us about who he
is. Right? So for us, we only base our knowledge of all those ponds
that aren't on what he's revealed to us. But sometimes our mind can
start wandering and we start imagining things and we think
about things that are not good to think about with relation to what
does Allah look like and how is he all of those thoughts are we have
to turn those thoughts off because there's always finances laser,
laser committed he che Right? Which is what they're there's
nothing in creation that is like Allah subhana wa
Mmm, okay, nothing in creation, which means that, no, there's no
way that we can try to imagine Allah subhanaw without it in our
mind, because everything in our minds is from what we see and what
we know in the universe, right? So it makes no sense to try to think
about Allah Subhana Allah when he's told us that there's nothing
that you can even come close to, that would be similar to him. So
don't even try, but have the hope that inshallah we're going to
inshallah see him in the next world. That's why we want to go to
Jenner, the greatest prize that we could possibly have is to see
Allah subhanaw taala in Jannah. Okay, so this is why it's so
important that you just turn off that thought and say, I'm not
going to have those thoughts about Allah, I'm going to wait for the
great prize of seeing him agenda. So that's the first thing that we
want to, you know, again, address. And then the other thing is to
think about thoughts about other people like their faults, right?
A lot of times people will just waste their time thinking about
other people, whether it's a stranger or someone you know, if
you're just wasting your those precious thoughts are 60,000
thoughts? And you're thinking about things that you shouldn't
this is the this is the what falls under blameworthy thoughts, right.
And the problem was, Adams said here, he said, There is a tree in
paradise reserved for people whose own faults preoccupied them from
thinking about other people's faults. So Subhanallah, if you
spend more time on your own self and trying to fix yourself than
you do thinking about, Oh, why does this person dress this way,
they have such a bad habit and look at, you know, oh, they you
know, they play basketball like this, or, you know, you can get
very judgy about what people do, right? We'll pick apart everything
about them. That's how you shouldn't do that. Right. We
talked about this a little bit, I think last time where we said
there's Lee, but in the heart of a hub, where you actually can, you
know, have bad thoughts about people in your heart. And this is
libre, which is you know, gossiping, and it's really one of
the worst sins. So we want to stop that right. And the problem was
and promised a tree a special tree in paradise for people who are
more worried about their own situation, so hum that are really
important for us to think about. Okay, so next slide here. So how
do we treat the this disease of the heart? What's the way to fix
it? Well, we study the 99 attributes of the last part that
up commonly referred to as a smile host. Now, we should know the 99
names and try to really understand their meanings. And you can ask
your parents questions like maybe one attribute every day, you know,
and then in 99 days, you'll know all of us partners attributes or
if you want to do more than one, but you can really make it a very
good exercise of just getting closer and your better
understanding of who Allah subhanaw taala is right, by
studying them. And then remembering again, as we said,
that it's beyond our abilities as human beings to really capture
Allah subhanaw taala. So we shouldn't even bother, but at
least if we try to connect to us further through his attributes, it
will deepen our love for Him. And it'll help us to, again, follow
His commands and prepares us for the hereafter where we hope to see
Allah subhanaw taala and finally, all the questions that you have
about, well, this doesn't make sense and I never understood this,
you can ask him then Inshallah, you know, we just have to be
patient, and then Imams was that he said, sorry. Oh,
here we go. Sorry, was that he said that the way to work off
distracting thoughts is to cut off their source, avoid the means that
could create these thoughts, if the source of such thoughts is not
stopped, it will keep generating them. Okay. So there are some
things that
and that, you know, are some people sometimes that make you
have bad thoughts about other people, and you have to, you know,
have don't have blameworthy modesty, right, you have to tell
that friend, maybe you know what, maybe we shouldn't make a talk
about people because it's not good, that's really good. You're
showing courage to tell that person, it's wrong. And you're
preventing yourself from falling into bad habits and cutting it off
from the source. So sometimes, that's what you need to do.
There's also other you know, like television can be bad music can be
there's bad elements and television, bad elements and tell
it and music. So if you're getting thoughts because of a certain show
that you're watching, or music that you're listening to stop,
very simple, because if you don't, then those thoughts will just keep
coming back right just kind of have to cut them off at the source
like you know what, this is making me not feel good or I don't feel
positive after this. So I need to really, you know, stop this stuff
in sha Allah. Okay, so that's how we correct this disease of the
heart. So the next one is, let's see here.
The next disease of
hardest fear of poverty. Okay hopeful fucker. So let's talk
about what this is well first, I was proud that assess to us and
sort of the the Bacara. He says those who in charity spend of
their good deeds by night and by day, in secret and in public have
their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall
they grieve. So let's find out, it's telling us right here,
whoever does, you know, good deeds we spend in charity, and we do
our, you know, our good works in in secret. And in public, maybe
there's times where we want to show good works, because we want
to encourage other people. But there's other times where we just
go more inwardly, and it's more private. And both of those
situations are rewarded with Allah and he is telling us we, if you do
these things, and you do them the right way, the way that the
process has taught us, you won't have any fear, there's nothing to
be afraid of, because you understand that Allah subhanaw
taala is always with you. Right, and that he's the one who blesses
us and He gives us all of our risks, our food, our water, our
clothing, our shelter, our families, all of the things that
we have are from Allah, He distributes them to everybody. And
until the day until we leave this earth, we will have our
sustenance, our portion, right, some people get more in this
world, there's people who get more, more wealth, and some people
don't, but everybody gets what is what Allah decides for them. And
we have to respond by being patient, and grateful that's so
important that we're grateful for whatever Allah has given us,
because all of it is a treasure, right? And so here, the prophesy,
Sam said, charity does not decrease wealth. No one forgives
another, but that Allah increases his honor, and no one humbles
himself for the sake of Allah, but that Allah raises his status to
charity does not decrease wealth, when you are a giving person you
should know especially be given charity that you you're not just
because the money is leaving your hand, right? It's like, oh, here's
$100 And I have to give it to this, you know, organization or
this poor person on the street. It might feel like you lost $100, but
you didn't this hadith is telling you, you're actually gaining more
and the reward will come Allah subhanaw taala will bring that
$100 back and more to you at some point. And I've had this happen to
me so many times, I can't even tell you, where you know, you give
for the sake of Allah and then all of a sudden, it is repeat its
Hebrew pays you maybe the same day, you know, 234 times that
amount, right. And I've had people have the same story, they've
written a check. And then in the mail, like the next day, they get
the exact same amount for that check that's happened to people
before or twice the amount, you know, somehow we should never
despair that Allah subhanaw taala is always with us. And he repays
generosity with generosity. Remember that? he repays
generosity with generosity. So the next slide here, remember that
when you have hopeful factor, the problem is, if all you think about
all day long is money and it's all you see, right? And it's You're
just afraid of losing it, then what happens is, you're likely not
going to do your obligations to Allah subhanaw taala or your
family, you're probably not going to be very good with your prayers,
you're certainly you know, won't be good with Zakat and giving away
sadaqa you might not even want to go to on Hajj, because you're too
worried about how much money it's gonna cost you. Oh, man, it's cost
like $4,000 to go to Hajj, I don't want to do that. Because what if
I, you know, don't have enough money for next year or this and
you start thinking about all these things. So it prevents you from
doing good deeds and even your prayers. Because if you're afraid
of you have Harvard faculty, you might work overtime. And let's say
you work so much that you forget to pray, because you're too
worried about getting money. So this is a problem with being
obsessed with money and not remembering that Allah is the One
who gives to everybody, and everybody will get what they
deserve. Nobody will take away if Allah Justin for you to have
something and he it's written, nobody and nothing can prevent it
from coming to you. So you just have to have that trust, right?
But this is the danger of letting greed or you know, hope and factor
which can sometimes lead to greed. Enter the heart. Okay.
So another thing to also remember, excuse me,
is this verse from the Quran where Allah Subhan Allah says, Take from
their wealth, a charity by which you cleanse them and purify them
and invoke blessings upon them. What does this mean? It means that
whenever we give charity, it actually cleans our wealth for us.
Okay, so I'm going to explain a little bit more what that means.
Where did that oh, here we go. So this was supposed to be before the
other one, but it's okay. So if you see this cute, adorable little
boy, I'm thinking boy, me
up girl because she's got earrings on. So let's just assume boy or
girl, either way, doesn't matter. What is, let's, you know he doing
right he's washing these, these clothes, okay, he's washing them
with his hand. Most of us we probably have never done this
because our parents are taking care of our laundry, they put it
in the washing machine and it comes out magically clean, right.
But if you really think about it, when we play right on the left
side, let's read. Sometimes when we play, we get our clothes dirty
in the mud. Sometimes when we eat, we get stains on our clothes from
food. Or when we work on an art project, right, we get some paint
or glue or glitter all over our clothing. When we cook or bake,
right, there's eggs, platters, oils, flutters. You know, flour,
and our clothes can get really messy chocolate, right? Whatever
it is, we know that we have to wash our clothes to keep our
bodies clean, and the rest of our clothes clean. Because otherwise,
if you leave that dirt or that filth on your clothing, it's might
get get on something else. Right? So we understand that when it
comes to our clothing, or with our money with it's the same concept,
that there's parts of our money that we're not always sure is it
coming from a hello source? You know, is there anything that maybe
this money was involved in at some point that wasn't clean? Let me
clean my money. Let me clean my wealth, right, just like this boy
is vigorously you know, scrubbing away the dirt from the clothing.
And how we do that is through sadaqa and charity. When we give
part of our money for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala Allah says it
purifies the rest of our wealth. So whatever else we have saved is
clean. Even if there was something you know, that maybe wasn't halal.
It is part of that wealth, right? So this is how charity works. It
helps to clean our wealth. And it's such an important part of
that, right?
So let's see here. Oh.
So here's the treatment. Okay. So how do we treat for fear of
poverty? First, we have a good opinion of Allah subhanaw taala.
And we remember that he is the one who again distributes to his
creation, whatever He wills, right, and we should have trust in
Him. He has no need for anything that we do, right? So even when we
give for the sake of Allah or anything we should remember Allah
has no need for any of that, right? And he says here in the
Quran, chapter 51, verse 57, he says, I do not desire from people
any provision, right? Which is anything nothing, nor do I desire
that they feed me. So nothing we're doing is increasing Allah
subhanaw taala, He is above all of this, everything, right? He's not
a human, he doesn't have needs, the way we have needs. So when we
do something for his sake, we have to put a you know, remember that
he you know, we're not losing anything, right? We're actually
gaining it because he has no need of what we give. And that and then
the promise is I'm told us that contentment is a treasure that is
never exhausted. So we all want treasures, right? Everybody wants
a lot of wealth and power and all of these things that we want one
on one, while the greatest thing that you can have is to be
content, which is to be just grateful, like 100 a lot. You
know, Allah Spanner, you've given me a great life, and I'm grateful
for my health, for my family, for my, you know, pets, for my
siblings, for my clothing for my toys for everything, you just
start naming things randomly, right? My books, my school, my
teachers, right? I'm grateful for my friends. So to be in a state of
contentment, it's like this treasure, you just, wow, there's
so much of it, right? But you have to do that as an exercise, you
have to think about all the things that he's given you, and really
sit there and go, Wow, I have so much to be thankful for. Right?
Because there's a lot of people who had everything and then boom,
something might have happened, where they've lost things, and
they spend the rest of their life saying, you know, I wish I could
have those things back. And they might be simple things that we
take for granted things that we don't even realize, you know, I
remember like my teacher, Sheikh Hamza actually, he talked to us
about, you know, think about like eyelashes, you know, how many of
us have actually sat and thought Subhanallah we should be so
grateful for eyelashes, because they're so tiny. They're so small,
and we have we were born with them. But they have a huge
function, because without eyelashes, things can get into
your eyes, there's a lot of problems and then you can't see
very well. There's people who have to constantly lubricate their eyes
and keep them moist. Because they don't have you know, protection
from these eyelashes. So there's things that say, what's the hairs
in our nose? The hairs in our nose are so important because they
protect us from having problems when we breathe. But how many of
us, you know, look to that and go Well, thank God I have hairs on my
nose, right? Because who thinks like that, but if you actually
think about if I didn't have these hairs in my nose, and all the
green stuff inside of it that traps the dust particles, that's
what those things are
All right, the B word, you guys know what I'm talking about people
pick up them. Gross. But anyway, it's another conversation. But
those things are important to our health. Because if we didn't have
those, then all of those, the dust that is in the air would go into
our lungs, and we'd be coughing all that time. So do you see how
all those founders created us with this incredible machine? Where if
you start thinking about all of its parts, it's like, wow,
amazing, even a heart. You know how much blood it like pumps out,
I don't know how many gallons hundreds of gallons of blood every
day or maybe 1000s. It's a lot of blood, that the heart is pumping
through our system. But it's like a machine. It's incredible. So
this is what contentment does. When you're grateful to Allah
subhanaw taala it just opens this feeling of like, I have so much I
have a treasure already. I don't need more, and then you don't have
fear of poverty. Okay, inshallah. So that is the session for today,
you guys. So hamdulillah those are the first three that we're
covering today. I want to hear from you. So we have a few minutes
left. Very few. I'll take some questions if you have I know there
was a lot of competition as we were going. But let's see if
there's any questions about what we've covered. If you want to
retype your question in a few minutes we have I'm happy to to
answer your questions. Okay. This lit up
and then just a heads up about next week. I think I have Missy.
No, that's so next week we will go over I'm not sorry not next week
on Thursday, we will go over ostentation, relying on other than
God displeasure with divine decree and seeking reputation heads up
just for FYI. But let me go ahead and stop screenshare here and we
can now talk in short LA. Okay. So let's see here.
Questions. I'm going to get back to the chat box. How many sessions
will we have inshallah? Well, thank you for asking. So we heard
we have Thursday, next Thursday, this Thursday, and then the
following Tuesday and the following Thursday. So that's 123
more sessions after today, altogether six sessions, though,
and if, for whatever reason, we may need to add one more because
we don't finish them all. I'll let you guys know if the possible
seven session but for now, three more sessions inshallah. Okay.
Okay, so quick questions here? What if you're terrified of losing
something other than money? So very good question. You know, if
you're afraid of
in this world, you have to remember that Allah subhanaw
taala. If you're, if you ever lose something of value, or important
to you, in this world, inshallah you have the hope have, you know,
be patient with that loss, because there's nothing happens in vain,
which means there's always a wisdom of why things happen to us
in this world, always. And you have to remember that Allah knows
what's best for you. So maybe in that loss, something really good
can happen, right? For example, I'll tell you, I'm there. You
know, there's that organization called MADD Mothers Against Drunk
drivers, right? There was a mother, I'm assuming, I think it
was a mother, but she hurt she lost her child in a car accident
because of a drunk driver. So what did she do, she took that energy,
right? That terrible loss, it was a horrible thing to lose a child
is the one of the worst things that a person can go through. But
instead of, you know, doing just being in a state of sadness for
her whole life, she said, I'm going to make sure nobody ever
experiences what I went through. And she started this organization
called mad and now it's international, I think are
definitely national. But everybody knows it. And it's to prevent
people from drinking alcohol and driving. So she took that loss and
did this amazing thing that's helped millions and maybe billions
of people in the world. So you can turn loss into something positive,
if you always have a good opinion of Allah, but if he took something
from you, there's a reason for it, and Inshallah, with your patience,
he'll replace it with something better. And he'll use you to do a
lot of good with it if you're patient. But if you think like,
oh, no, I've lost it. And now the world is over, and I'm gonna fall
into a state of depression, then you're forgetting that Allah is,
you know, he can give you anything you want. And you have to turn
back to him. And just ask him to give you patience with that loss.
And to replace it for something with something better for you in
this world. And or, or, and reward you in the next world with it as
well. Because, you know, some things are hard on us. You know, I
lost for example, my pet
how many years ago, maybe nine years ago, and I think about her
all the time and it hurts, it hurts because I loved her. And it
was a difficult circumstance. But I'm hopeful that in sha Allah,
she's going to be with me and Jana, I really do I pray that it
was part of the helps bring her to me and Jana and I get to see her
so I always hold on to that hope. So if you have a loss of some
Something always remember Allah will inshallah reward you with
with your patience. Okay? Um, let's see what if it's cyber
bullying. So I'm assuming that has to do with blameworthy modesty. If
it's cyber bullying, you should also speak up if you see, you
know, someone on social media, you know, treating other people
poorly, you can talk to them directly and say, hey, you know,
I've noticed that you're leaving really mean comments and trolling
people. If you know that, like, let's say it's a school classmate
or something, you know, having the courage to say something, but you
know, if it's a stranger, in your, you know, account, you're, you
know, I would always say, be careful, because some of you are
really young. But if you do have social media presence, and your
name is visible, and people can easily find you, you want to kind
of watch how you engage people online, because there are a lot of
bad people online. But I think if you're a young person, I would
just, you know, take it to your parents and say, Listen, I have
you know, this person or this, whoever that's, I think they're
being mean, and there'll be cyber bullying, what should I do about
it and talk it through with your parents, they'll help you figure
out if that's something you should get involved in or not. Okay, but
be cautious. Just because again, the digital world we don't have
full control, and there are a lot of evil people out there. Okay.
So let's see. Mashallah, can you continue this class, I love this.

together because it would be even more engaging. But I love that you

lovely comment.
Yes, it's called blameworthy modesty. Okay, so the class is
called blameworthy modesty.
Mashallah, very good.

questions that I can see. Oh, wait, what did you do? Oh, yeah,
