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

Ilaha Illa Allah, Subhan Allah.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

All prayers are due to Allah, as the

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

creator of all things, the all-knowing, the

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

all-seeing, the all-hearing, the one who

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

will provide for us the one who will

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

give us our lives until the time He

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

has ordained that we would have to return

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

back to Him.

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

May Allah's mercy be upon all of us

00:04:22 --> 00:04:27

as seeker of knowledge, student of knowledge, as

00:04:27 --> 00:04:32

a family, as the ummah of the Prophet,

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

who was granted by Allah as khairul ummah,

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

the best ummah, the best generation.

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

Brothers and sisters, alhamdulillah, we have been asking

00:04:45 --> 00:04:50

Allah for guidance every single day.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:57

We have been asking Allah for forgiveness after

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

each of our obligatory prayers.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:06

And we keep on asking Allah to strengthen

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

our iman, because that is the most valuable

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

thing in our life.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

And we hope Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

will make us istiqamah.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

To stay istiqamah is a big test for

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

every one of us.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

Istiqamah means to be consistent in all the

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

good things that we are doing, in seeking

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

knowledge.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

That is a challenge.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

On behalf of Al-Kadhim, we always try

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

our level best to make sure that we

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

ourselves are consistent in doing all the good

00:05:47 --> 00:05:47

things.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

We are consistent in our prayer.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:57

We are consistent seeking Allah's guidance and not

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

just asking for His guidance.

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

We want to follow His guidance.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

A lot of people have been asking, but

00:06:07 --> 00:06:12

they are not following up with what they

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

have been asking.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

It is just a lip service.

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

A lot of people have been reciting the

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

Quran without understanding.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

A lot of people try to learn the

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

Quran and understand, but have no intention to

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

implement the verses of Allah.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:38

We would like to share with you this

00:06:38 --> 00:06:43

ayah, which Allah has granted us as the

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

best nation, the best ummah, with the title,

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

kuntum khayru ummah, ukhrijat din nas.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:57

Among mankind, you, the ummah of the Prophet,

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

is the best ummah.

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

Ukhrijat din nas, not only the best among

00:07:06 --> 00:07:10

you, but the best among humanity.

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

Because we are here to represent the weak

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

ones, to protect them, the innocent ones.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21

We are here to fight for justice for

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

all or no justice for all.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:30

We are here to champion freedom of speech,

00:07:30 --> 00:07:33

expression, but guided.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

Not just anything that you can do, anything

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

you want to say, you can say now.

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

You have the freedom to express yourself, but

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

whatever you want to say must be guided.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

You cannot just use any word to talk

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

to humans.

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

You must choose the best word.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

Because your intention, if it is good, then

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

the word must be good.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

So this is how we move on.

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

And you consider yourself as the best as

00:08:09 --> 00:08:13

long as you carry out your responsibility, like

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

what Allah has said in this ayah.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:21

kuntum khayru ummah ukhrijat din nasi ta'murum tabi

00:08:21 --> 00:08:24

'l-ma'ruf wa tan hawna an-munkar

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

The main responsibility to make sure that we

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

are the best, you must always be ready

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

to engage in anything that is good.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38

Amal ma'ruf.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:44

Amal ma'ruf is here to remind us,

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

if you want to be good, you must

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

also look into your environment.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

You want to have a good family, and

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

that is why Islam always starts with ya

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

ayyuha lazina amanu ku an fusakum O you

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

who believe, save yourself.

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

We ourselves must try our level best.

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

We cannot be perfect.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

Nobody can be perfect.

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

But at least you try your level best

00:09:16 --> 00:09:19

to do what you have to do.

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

And Allah, who created us, is aware of

00:09:23 --> 00:09:28

our own weaknesses, and that is why He

00:09:28 --> 00:09:32

said, la tukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha I

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

will never burden any one of you.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:41

That is why Allah said, You do whatever

00:09:41 --> 00:09:41

you can.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

That is why Allah said, I intend ease

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

for you, not difficulty.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

Only if you follow the guidance, then you

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

see how smooth it is, how easy to

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

move forward.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

But we feel very, very sad.

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

The book that we are talking about is

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

Don't Be Sad.

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

Why do we feel that we are sad?

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

To see what is happening among this ummah.

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

I am not talking about other nations first.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

We are focusing on this great ummah, the

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

ummah of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:29

Why are we so confused when we face

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

problems?

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

Problem is knowledge.

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

Problem is information.

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

Problem is wisdom.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:45

You will never become better without knowing how

00:10:45 --> 00:10:46

to solve problems.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

If there is no problem, then your knowledge

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

about life will be very limited.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:58

Because of the problem, it exposes you to

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

a lot of other things.

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

But then Allah, who has created all of

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

us, and informed us about who He is.

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

He is the Creator, the All-Knowing, the

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

All-Seeing.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

He knows.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:27

Whatever is hidden, even in your heart, you

00:11:27 --> 00:11:31

may not remember, but Allah remembers.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:37

So Allah is talking to us, asking us,

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

telling us, to just follow His guidance.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:52

We know that every single day, last night

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

we had about two hours of online discussion

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

with a group of scholars, to look into

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

the affairs of the ummah.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

Not only here, but worldwide.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

To understand.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:13

And we keep on reminding one another, how

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

blessed are all of us.

00:12:17 --> 00:12:21

Because we have a divine guidance from Allah,

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

who keeps on reminding us, فَإِن تَنَزَقْتُ فِي

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّهُ إِلَىٰهُ وَرَسُولُهُ If you have any

00:12:31 --> 00:12:38

disagreement, dispute, confusion, come back to me, Allah

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

said.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:43

Because the knowledge of human beings is very

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

limited.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:49

Whatever we see, whatever we know, is very

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

limited.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

Allah, the All-Seeing, the All-Knowing.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

And the command of Allah is not only

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

for us living in this country, Malaysia.

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

Not only for the Arabs.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:08

Allah said, قُدَلِّ النَّاسِ The Quran was revealed

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11

as a divine guidance for mankind.

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

Wherever you are, your problem may differ because

00:13:18 --> 00:13:24

of the environment, of time zone, but the

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

solution is always the same.

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

You just come back to Him, the One

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

God, who created all of us, who knows

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

what is the best for all of us.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:40

And He sent the Prophet Muhammad, with a

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

very, very unique responsibility.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

He set the best example, لَقَدْ قَانَ لَكُمْ

00:13:48 --> 00:13:53

فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ Allah said, indeed,

00:13:53 --> 00:13:57

in the life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be

00:13:57 --> 00:14:00

upon him, he set the best example for

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

all of us.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:06

Those who want to be a good, healthy,

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

youngster, youth, look at him when he was

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

young.

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

That was when he was not yet a

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

prophet.

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

He was a very active person.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22

He had been a shepherd before.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

Had done a lot of things that normal

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

people used to do.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

He's known for his good character.

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

He never lied.

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

He never used bad words.

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

He never disrespected elders.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

He never bullied anybody.

00:14:43 --> 00:14:46

He always was very respectful to the elders.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:52

And he loved and cared for people who

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

were younger than him.

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

He's a very clean person.

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

You can trust him with anything.

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

He will never betray you.

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

And when he speak, he's known for his

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

character.

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

He never used any bad word, except what

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

is good.

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

Sometimes you are good.

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

Your intention is good, but the way you

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

talk, the word that you use is not

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

good.

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

Then it defeat your purpose.

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

People will not listen.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:34

That is why when he was young, anybody

00:15:34 --> 00:15:39

who have any problem, if he is there,

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

their problem solved.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

You see, we ask him.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

We will ask him.

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

If we have a dispute, let him help

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

us.

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

Let him decide for us.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

Allahu Akbar.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:58

And when he became a prophet, because before

00:15:58 --> 00:16:02

that he became a businessman to Khadija, and

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

he brought back a lot of profit in

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

a short time because when he do business,

00:16:09 --> 00:16:10

he never lie.

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

He never cheat.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

He never betray any of his customer.

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

What is good is good.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

What is fresh is fresh.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

What is not fresh is not fresh.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:28

In business, it is always give and take.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

You can ask for discount.

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

When you agree, you just buy it.

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

That is Muhammad.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:42

And when he become the husband of Khadija,

00:16:43 --> 00:16:47

he prove to everybody that he is the

00:16:47 --> 00:16:48

best husband.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:53

Not just by word, but by action.

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

Never once you heard that any of the

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

wives is being punished by him.

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

Is being humiliated by him.

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

Even they are not happy sometimes, being human.

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

Jealousy is there.

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

But the Prophet, peace be upon him, never

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

belittle any of the wives.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

The same goes to, he is the best

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

father to all his children.

00:17:27 --> 00:17:31

And he also is the best leader for

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

his Ummah.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

Brothers and sisters, Inshallah.

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

Today we will be focusing on page 201.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

Is that page 201 today?

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

Yup.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

10 Gems for a Good and Noble Life.

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

We have discussed a lot of things before

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

this.

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

We hope you remember.

00:17:56 --> 00:18:00

Because knowledge that we have learned and we

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

don't remember, cannot help us a lot.

00:18:05 --> 00:18:08

Anything to do with knowledge.

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

And the knowledge that we are sharing with

00:18:10 --> 00:18:15

all of us here is the knowledge to

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

strengthen our Iman.

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

Now, 10 Gems for a Good and Noble

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

Life.

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

We all always want to have a good

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

life.

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

We want to be honoured, to be respected.

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

First we have to look into ourselves.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

We don't look at others first.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:41

We have to look into ourselves.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:46

Number one, wake up in the last third

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

of the night to beg forgiveness from Allah.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

Meaning, as a human, it is very, very

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

important for us to be humble.

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

Especially to Allah.

00:19:01 --> 00:19:04

Remember the four noble characters the Prophet said,

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

that will save us from hellfire?

00:19:09 --> 00:19:13

Hayyin, Layyin, Kharid, Sahlan.

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

The Prophet said, if you have four of

00:19:16 --> 00:19:20

these characters, these characters will protect you from

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

hellfire.

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

You must be humble.

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

You must be polite.

00:19:29 --> 00:19:34

You must make yourself easy for others and

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

also make others feel easy with you.

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

And you must be a simple person.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

Even if you are somebody, but it's good

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

to live as simple as possible.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:56

Humbleness will remind us how important to keep

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

on asking Allah for forgiveness.

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

Why?

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

By asking Allah for forgiveness, brother and sister.

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

Then we realize, if we are not perfect,

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

how do you expect perfection from others?

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

It is a kind of reminder for every

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

one of us.

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

Look at our Prophet, peace be upon him.

00:20:23 --> 00:20:27

He himself, if he commits a sin, the

00:20:27 --> 00:20:29

sin will be forgiven by Allah.

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

It is a very minor, it is not

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

considered sin, mistakes that he has made.

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

Allah forgives him.

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

He is sure to go to paradise.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:45

But every day and every night in 24

00:20:45 --> 00:20:50

hours, he asks Allah for forgiveness for 100

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

times.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

Let us look into ourselves.

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

How many times do we ask Allah for

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

forgiveness?

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

Most of us don't ask Allah for forgiveness

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

more than 100 times.

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

No time to ask.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:15

Too busy thinking of other people's problems, other

00:21:15 --> 00:21:18

people's faults and weaknesses, you forget about your

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

own weaknesses.

00:21:22 --> 00:21:27

But the beauty of this first gem is

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

that you wake up in the last third

00:21:30 --> 00:21:34

of the night to beg forgiveness from Allah.

00:21:35 --> 00:21:38

Why this kind of time is better?

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

I believe all of us do shed tears

00:21:43 --> 00:21:44

sometimes.

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

When you recall something that is very, very

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

hurting, you will cry.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

Why people do this to me?

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

Why people say this to me?

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

Why am I so bad?

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

No, everybody can reflect.

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

The Prophet, peace be upon him, in another

00:22:07 --> 00:22:12

hadith said, سَبْعَاثٌ يُزِلُهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي زِلِّهِ يَوْمَا

00:22:12 --> 00:22:17

لَا زِلَّ إِلَىٰ زِلُّ There are seven groups

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

of people who will be under the shade

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

of Allah in the Day of Judgment when

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

there is no other shade except the shade

00:22:25 --> 00:22:26

of Allah.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:33

And one of them, رَجُلٌ زَقَلُ اللَّهُ خَالِيًا

00:22:33 --> 00:22:44

وَفَادَتْ أَيْنَهُ يَبْقِي حَتَّى فَادَتْ أَيْنَهُ Example, a

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

person who isolate himself.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:52

Now, one third of the night normally you

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

are alone.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

People are sleeping.

00:22:56 --> 00:23:01

So you wake up alone, خَالِيًا and then

00:23:01 --> 00:23:06

you remember, you recall about what you have

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

done that day.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:12

You shed tears until two of your eyes

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

got swollen.

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

That kind of tears is valuable to Allah.

00:23:22 --> 00:23:28

That kind of reflection is important because you

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

are talking to Allah by yourself.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

You are not showing off to other people.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

You are trying to remember, recall your own

00:23:39 --> 00:23:43

weaknesses and you beg Allah for forgiveness.

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

Now, how many of us do that today?

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

Very few.

00:23:53 --> 00:23:56

We have been asking Allah for many things

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

but how many of us ask Allah for

00:23:58 --> 00:23:59

forgiveness?

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

Oh, we did say Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah.

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

But how about your heart and your mind?

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

Are you really asking Allah for forgiveness?

00:24:13 --> 00:24:18

If you are asking Allah for forgiveness, you

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

have been changing a lot.

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

You should be a better person.

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

No, sometimes the ego is there.

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

I am not wrong.

00:24:28 --> 00:24:29

I am okay.

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

Overconfident.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:36

This is what makes us become very weak.

00:24:38 --> 00:24:43

Arrogant and also become very hard-hearted.

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

And look at the verses of Allah in

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

chapter 3, verse 70 and those who pray

00:24:51 --> 00:24:54

and beg Allah's pardon in the last hour

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

of the night because there is a time

00:24:57 --> 00:25:00

when nobody is looking at you, you yourself

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

are crying for the sake of Allah.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:09

There are people who cry too but in

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

front of people.

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

When people cry, they cry.

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

Somebody will go for a movie and look

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

at the story of the movie and the

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

hero cries, he also cries.

00:25:19 --> 00:25:20

Very emotional.

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

But we want that thing that you feel

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

sad about to come from your heart.

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

Then you start to look into it seriously

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

and say, I am going to change.

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

Meaning the next morning I want to be

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

a different person.

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

That is how you move forward.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:46

If you don't have that intention, brothers and

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

sisters, you will see you never change.

00:25:50 --> 00:25:58

Number two, the important character we should have

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

at least once in a while, seclude yourself

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

from people in order to contemplate.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:07

This is part of the exercise of all

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

the prophets.

00:26:09 --> 00:26:16

They will make khalwah because environment plays a

00:26:16 --> 00:26:20

very important role in our development.

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

But before you want to get into the

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

community, you must be strong.

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

You must learn how to protect yourself.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

You know the prophet has said to us,

00:26:39 --> 00:26:48

All of us was born pure, fitrah, uncorrupted,

00:26:48 --> 00:26:49

very innocent.

00:26:49 --> 00:26:50

We are all good.

00:26:53 --> 00:26:55

Why so many bad things are happening around

00:26:55 --> 00:26:55

us?

00:26:55 --> 00:26:59

If everybody was born good, fitrah, pure, why?

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

Why there is so much problem that we

00:27:02 --> 00:27:03

are facing?

00:27:05 --> 00:27:06

But we are all good.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

I believe in every one of us, we

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

still have a lot of good things in

00:27:12 --> 00:27:13

our life.

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

We try to do good things.

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

We try to help one another.

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

Everybody has some good in them.

00:27:25 --> 00:27:31

But to stay consistent in a good environment

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

is very, very difficult.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

Unless you are strong.

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

That means wherever you go, you will never

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

let the environment change and corrupt you.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:50

You will bring changes to the environment because

00:27:50 --> 00:27:51

you are strong.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:55

But majority of us, we are not strong.

00:27:58 --> 00:28:01

Easily, you can be corrupted with your environment.

00:28:04 --> 00:28:07

At home example, none of our parents teach

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

us all the bad words.

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

Suddenly you pick up some bad words.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:14

From where?

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

From the environment.

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

But today's environment has changed.

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

You don't have to go out.

00:28:21 --> 00:28:23

You just stay in your own room.

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

And the children today, they like to be

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

secluded.

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

They like to cover up.

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

And they are not just by themselves.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

They have a gazette.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:40

Now they expose themselves to the world.

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

And you get all the rubbish.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:50

All that you just name it will come

00:28:50 --> 00:28:50

to them.

00:28:53 --> 00:28:57

So it's very important to always find time.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:03

And do some reflection.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:07

If not, there's no time.

00:29:11 --> 00:29:13

What we learn is brother and sister.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

If you know that something you experience is

00:29:16 --> 00:29:20

bad, what do you learn from that?

00:29:21 --> 00:29:24

For you to know that it's bad and

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

what is happening is true, a bad thing,

00:29:26 --> 00:29:27

is a bad thing.

00:29:27 --> 00:29:28

And you know that it's bad.

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

That is good.

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

Then you must always remember, I don't want

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

to be like them.

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

That should be the feeling.

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

You don't just say bad, bad, bad, bad.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:45

You are also in the same environment.

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

The way you think, the way you talk

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

is the same.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

Anything bad that happens in front of us,

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

lesson learned.

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

If you don't like that kind of behaviour,

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

you don't behave like them.

00:30:01 --> 00:30:04

If you don't like what they say, you

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

don't use the same word like they use.

00:30:09 --> 00:30:14

So actually you are just learning from the

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

environment.

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

And that's why in the Quran, in chapter

00:30:18 --> 00:30:21

3 to verse 191, Allah reminds us the

00:30:21 --> 00:30:22

meaning.

00:30:22 --> 00:30:27

And those who think deeply about the creation

00:30:27 --> 00:30:29

of the heaven and the earth, how can

00:30:29 --> 00:30:32

you reflect if you don't have time?

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

Today everything we take things for granted.

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

We only want the best, but we forget

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

to be the best.

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

We want people to respect, care for us,

00:30:44 --> 00:30:46

but we don't care about others.

00:30:47 --> 00:30:49

Everything starts from yourself.

00:30:51 --> 00:30:58

If we are positive, inshallah, even if the

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

environment is negative, you are able to survive.

00:31:02 --> 00:31:03

Because you know.

00:31:05 --> 00:31:08

You know your limitation.

00:31:08 --> 00:31:11

If you feel weak, you retreat.

00:31:13 --> 00:31:14

You have to retreat.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:17

You don't try to allow yourself to be

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

in an environment that is going to drown

00:31:19 --> 00:31:24

you with a lot of negative force.

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

Get out.

00:31:28 --> 00:31:32

Getting out from the bad environment is a

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

minor hijrah.

00:31:36 --> 00:31:40

But moving from one bad environment to another

00:31:40 --> 00:31:41

is a big hijrah.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

Big hijrah means you are not going to

00:31:47 --> 00:31:47

be here anymore.

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

I am going to migrate.

00:31:50 --> 00:31:53

Migration takes a lot of sacrifice.

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

Even our Prophet had to migrate.

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

Because when the tension is getting stronger, and

00:32:04 --> 00:32:08

people say, no, no, no, there are ways

00:32:08 --> 00:32:11

or no way, then there will come a

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

time, time to migrate.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

Sometimes today the thing gets more confused.

00:32:19 --> 00:32:23

You are good, your friend is good, but

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

they are very judgmental.

00:32:27 --> 00:32:30

They just keep on condemning people left and

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

right.

00:32:30 --> 00:32:35

Anything that they are not happy with, anything

00:32:35 --> 00:32:36

that they envy.

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

If you look into the lifestyle of human

00:32:39 --> 00:32:43

character, why people do good things, they still

00:32:43 --> 00:32:43

comment.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:47

They still don't like you doing all the

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

good things.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

They still have something to say about you.

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

But you are not doing anything bad.

00:32:53 --> 00:32:53

Why?

00:32:53 --> 00:32:53

Why?

00:32:54 --> 00:32:59

They should be supporting you, be happy with

00:32:59 --> 00:33:01

all your good things, but they are not,

00:33:04 --> 00:33:07

because the evil eye is there.

00:33:08 --> 00:33:13

The jealousy, envious, hasad.

00:33:15 --> 00:33:18

And the Prophet had warned us, whoever has

00:33:18 --> 00:33:23

this hasad, jealousy, unnecessary jealousy.

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

If you are jealous, if he is so

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

healthy, I want to be like him to

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

be healthy.

00:33:29 --> 00:33:36

Go to the gym, do exercise, do something

00:33:36 --> 00:33:37

for yourself.

00:33:38 --> 00:33:40

If you are so good in reciting the

00:33:40 --> 00:33:46

Quran, I envy him, learn, learn and recite

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

the Quran like him.

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

Maybe you can recite better than him, there

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

is nothing wrong.

00:33:52 --> 00:33:56

But don't try to judge the person in

00:33:56 --> 00:33:57

a negative manner.

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

We thought that fitra, anything you do good,

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

people will be happy, correct?

00:34:06 --> 00:34:07

Normally.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:09

Do you find that that is very common?

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

If you do something good, everybody will say,

00:34:12 --> 00:34:15

okay, I like what you say, I like

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

what you do.

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

But there are times people don't like.

00:34:20 --> 00:34:21

Why?

00:34:21 --> 00:34:23

Because you are ahead of them.

00:34:24 --> 00:34:28

Now you can dislike the person for the

00:34:28 --> 00:34:29

right reason.

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

If they want to show off about how

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

good they are, you learn, I hope I'm

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

not like them.

00:34:39 --> 00:34:41

I want to be good, I want to

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

be low profile, I want to be sincere

00:34:43 --> 00:34:46

in my good activities.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

I'm not here to show off, I'm not

00:34:48 --> 00:34:51

here to go and tell the whole world

00:34:51 --> 00:34:52

I'm doing what I can.

00:34:52 --> 00:34:55

If people appreciate, Alhamdulillah, people don't appreciate.

00:34:56 --> 00:34:57

I have no problem.

00:34:57 --> 00:34:57

Why?

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

Because I'm doing for the sake of Allah.

00:35:01 --> 00:35:04

Even the intention that we should have, brother

00:35:04 --> 00:35:07

and sister, is being challenged every day in,

00:35:08 --> 00:35:09

every day out.

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

Our intention is being challenged.

00:35:15 --> 00:35:19

So always remember, you must reflect by looking

00:35:19 --> 00:35:23

at the environment, looking at the day and

00:35:23 --> 00:35:26

night, is there a difference between activities in

00:35:26 --> 00:35:29

the daytime and activities at night?

00:35:29 --> 00:35:29

Is there a difference?

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

Is there a different lifestyle, day and night?

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

Yeah.

00:35:37 --> 00:35:40

Day, everybody will be busy working, Alhamdulillah.

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

And night, most of the people who are

00:35:43 --> 00:35:47

not guided will be busy collecting sins.

00:35:47 --> 00:35:50

Commit a lot of sins.

00:35:50 --> 00:35:53

They work so hard and then use their

00:35:53 --> 00:35:56

money to do things that do not benefit

00:35:56 --> 00:35:56

them.

00:35:57 --> 00:35:59

A lot of self-destruction.

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

That's why you don't have day club sometimes.

00:36:04 --> 00:36:06

You are only known as night club.

00:36:08 --> 00:36:12

The night life, for this night club, is

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

very, very different.

00:36:14 --> 00:36:16

You work so hard, you go and spend

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

your money in the wrong environment.

00:36:19 --> 00:36:24

You get drunk, you get high, and then

00:36:24 --> 00:36:25

you destroy yourself.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:28

Can you imagine what is happening to the

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

human today?

00:36:29 --> 00:36:32

They work so hard to destroy themselves at

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

night.

00:36:35 --> 00:36:38

So we must always remember Allah created day

00:36:38 --> 00:36:40

and night for a reason.

00:36:41 --> 00:36:44

Day you are outside with other people, at

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

night you spend more time with the family.

00:36:46 --> 00:36:48

That should be the value.

00:36:49 --> 00:36:53

Day you are out, night also out, you

00:36:53 --> 00:36:54

only come home to sleep.

00:36:55 --> 00:36:57

You don't know what is happening.

00:36:58 --> 00:37:00

You don't care what is happening at home.

00:37:02 --> 00:37:05

That is not the Muslim lifestyle.

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

Everything that Allah created, there is a reason.

00:37:11 --> 00:37:14

Allah said, I never create the heaven and

00:37:14 --> 00:37:16

the earth or anything that you see.

00:37:16 --> 00:37:19

Even a mosquito without a purpose.

00:37:21 --> 00:37:30

To the extent Allah said, Allah is not

00:37:30 --> 00:37:32

ashamed to create a mosquito.

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

Mosquito, what is that?

00:37:38 --> 00:37:41

So tiny, it just disturbs a lot of

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

people.

00:37:42 --> 00:37:43

Do we feel disturbed by mosquito?

00:37:47 --> 00:37:50

Every morning I always get disturbed by mosquito.

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

When I'm having my breakfast, he also wants

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

to have his breakfast.

00:37:55 --> 00:37:56

He gives me a vaccine.

00:37:57 --> 00:37:59

If he wants to give me a vaccine,

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

without I feeling being vaccinated, okay.

00:38:05 --> 00:38:06

Suddenly I feel itchy now.

00:38:09 --> 00:38:10

We don't mind.

00:38:10 --> 00:38:12

If you want to take my blood, take

00:38:12 --> 00:38:13

it, so that I don't have to go

00:38:13 --> 00:38:14

to blood donation.

00:38:16 --> 00:38:18

There is something that come and just suck

00:38:18 --> 00:38:20

my blood out, it's good.

00:38:22 --> 00:38:24

But the thing we cannot bear because the

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

itchiness.

00:38:28 --> 00:38:30

But Allah said, I never create that without

00:38:30 --> 00:38:31

a reason.

00:38:31 --> 00:38:35

I'm not ashamed to create even smaller than

00:38:35 --> 00:38:36

a mosquito.

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

You know what the people used to say

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

to us?

00:38:44 --> 00:38:46

We all have a bed.

00:38:47 --> 00:38:47

They have what?

00:38:47 --> 00:38:49

What kind of thing that is on the

00:38:49 --> 00:38:50

bed?

00:38:53 --> 00:38:54

What you have on the bed?

00:38:56 --> 00:38:58

On the mattress, what always left behind the

00:38:58 --> 00:38:59

mattress?

00:39:05 --> 00:39:07

You hear that if you use a microscope

00:39:07 --> 00:39:10

to look into, on the bed you find

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

what?

00:39:15 --> 00:39:16

Bed mat.

00:39:17 --> 00:39:18

Bed mat.

00:39:18 --> 00:39:20

You find every time.

00:39:20 --> 00:39:21

What is his duty?

00:39:25 --> 00:39:26

What is his duty?

00:39:27 --> 00:39:28

Where you are, he is there.

00:39:34 --> 00:39:37

He is consuming the dry skin of our

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

body.

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

He also survive on us.

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

But if you will see it by your

00:39:44 --> 00:39:46

eye, I don't think you want to sleep.

00:39:49 --> 00:39:51

I don't think you want to keep your

00:39:51 --> 00:39:52

body dry.

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

You may want to just be in the

00:39:54 --> 00:39:57

toilet and soak yourself.

00:39:57 --> 00:40:00

If not, he is going to come again.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:05

But Allah make it so well balanced.

00:40:06 --> 00:40:09

There's certain thing that he create for certain

00:40:09 --> 00:40:12

thing that benefit both party.

00:40:13 --> 00:40:15

Thing that you don't need, your body don't

00:40:15 --> 00:40:17

need that you are going to discharge, he

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

is cleaning up for you.

00:40:21 --> 00:40:22

But you can't see you.

00:40:22 --> 00:40:23

Allahu Akbar.

00:40:24 --> 00:40:25

If you can see, I don't think you

00:40:25 --> 00:40:26

want to sleep anymore.

00:40:27 --> 00:40:29

You want to sleep on other bed, still

00:40:29 --> 00:40:30

he is there.

00:40:33 --> 00:40:35

Just an example, you can see you know

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

the harbor.

00:40:37 --> 00:40:41

When there's a sun, can you see anything

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

that is floating in the air?

00:40:44 --> 00:40:45

Can you see?

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

Normally, I will look at that.

00:40:51 --> 00:40:53

If you are in the room every morning,

00:40:53 --> 00:40:55

you can try to do this exercise.

00:40:57 --> 00:41:01

When you open the window, when the sun

00:41:01 --> 00:41:04

is coming in, then you just look.

00:41:05 --> 00:41:08

According to the sun, the sun ray, you

00:41:08 --> 00:41:09

just follow.

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

What do you see?

00:41:13 --> 00:41:14

Can you see anything floating?

00:41:18 --> 00:41:19

So active.

00:41:20 --> 00:41:21

It's moving.

00:41:21 --> 00:41:23

You cannot just catch it.

00:41:23 --> 00:41:25

There's no way because it's there.

00:41:26 --> 00:41:27

Allahu Akbar.

00:41:29 --> 00:41:31

Sometimes I was thinking, you see, we cannot

00:41:31 --> 00:41:33

live without the sunlight.

00:41:34 --> 00:41:38

But when you see the sunlight, you see

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

all this tiny, tiny dust, it's floating.

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

And this is something that you are breathing

00:41:44 --> 00:41:47

in day, in, day and night.

00:41:48 --> 00:41:49

Allahu Akbar.

00:41:50 --> 00:41:52

But Allah has His own reason.

00:41:55 --> 00:42:01

Now, it's very important the second quality that

00:42:01 --> 00:42:02

we should have.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

We must seclude yourself.

00:42:06 --> 00:42:07

Do Qalwa.

00:42:08 --> 00:42:11

Number three, stay in the company of the

00:42:11 --> 00:42:14

righteous and keep yourself patient with those who

00:42:14 --> 00:42:15

call on their Lord.

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

Those who are closer to Allah, you get

00:42:18 --> 00:42:19

close to them.

00:42:21 --> 00:42:25

Allah said, be among the righteous people so

00:42:25 --> 00:42:27

you can easily be righteous.

00:42:29 --> 00:42:32

It's very important because the environment is important.

00:42:33 --> 00:42:35

If you are close to the people of

00:42:35 --> 00:42:40

Akhira, your knowledge of Akhira is getting stronger

00:42:40 --> 00:42:41

and stronger.

00:42:41 --> 00:42:44

If you are busy with people of dunya,

00:42:44 --> 00:42:47

you can see you will get involved in

00:42:47 --> 00:42:48

dunya deeper and deeper.

00:42:49 --> 00:42:53

If you are people who are politicians, then

00:42:53 --> 00:42:55

whether you like it or not, you are

00:42:55 --> 00:42:56

going into politics.

00:42:57 --> 00:42:59

And if you are among the people of

00:42:59 --> 00:43:04

businessmen, inshallah, you will pick up some business

00:43:04 --> 00:43:05

ideas.

00:43:06 --> 00:43:10

It's very, very important but always choose the

00:43:10 --> 00:43:11

right company.

00:43:13 --> 00:43:20

That's why the Prophet said, your lifestyle depends

00:43:20 --> 00:43:23

on your company, your friend, your environment.

00:43:24 --> 00:43:29

Number four is very important to remember Allah

00:43:29 --> 00:43:30

often.

00:43:31 --> 00:43:33

Remember Allah with much remembrance.

00:43:36 --> 00:43:39

Remember me but please, a lot of us

00:43:39 --> 00:43:42

when people say, dhikr, remember Allah, we are

00:43:42 --> 00:43:49

starting to say, that is one of the

00:43:49 --> 00:43:50

way.

00:43:54 --> 00:44:07

Everything, the Prophet said, two

00:44:07 --> 00:44:11

words is very like on your tongue.

00:44:15 --> 00:44:19

But it's very heavy in the scale of

00:44:19 --> 00:44:20

Allah.

00:44:27 --> 00:44:30

But when the remembrance of this book that

00:44:30 --> 00:44:34

trying to share with us, remember Allah often

00:44:34 --> 00:44:39

is not just the dhikr but remember Allah,

00:44:40 --> 00:44:42

what Allah want us to do and Allah

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

hate us to do.

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

Remember the do and the don't.

00:44:49 --> 00:44:52

A lot of people who remember Allah, they

00:44:52 --> 00:44:54

remember Allah in the wrong way.

00:44:55 --> 00:44:57

They don't remember Allah in the way Allah

00:44:57 --> 00:44:59

want you to remember Him.

00:45:01 --> 00:45:03

If you are doing business, do you remember

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

Allah?

00:45:04 --> 00:45:06

Yes, then you do not cheat, you do

00:45:06 --> 00:45:07

not lie.

00:45:09 --> 00:45:11

If you have people to work under you,

00:45:11 --> 00:45:13

you remember them, yes, they work for you.

00:45:13 --> 00:45:17

So you must value their time, pay them,

00:45:17 --> 00:45:18

pay them a salary.

00:45:19 --> 00:45:20

They have to survive.

00:45:22 --> 00:45:24

How much is up to your agreement?

00:45:24 --> 00:45:26

If you have agreed that I'll pay you

00:45:26 --> 00:45:30

so much every month and you just carry

00:45:30 --> 00:45:31

out your responsibility.

00:45:33 --> 00:45:35

Everybody have to survive.

00:45:36 --> 00:45:38

Even our wife have to survive.

00:45:39 --> 00:45:40

You cannot say I marry you, call us,

00:45:41 --> 00:45:42

you belong to me, you my slave.

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

You just do anything I want you to

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

do.

00:45:46 --> 00:45:47

No salary.

00:45:47 --> 00:45:49

Do the wife get salary, most of us?

00:45:50 --> 00:45:52

Do we get salary at home?

00:45:53 --> 00:45:54

No.

00:45:55 --> 00:45:58

Wow, we are so blessed we have a

00:45:58 --> 00:46:01

husband who love us so much, care for

00:46:01 --> 00:46:01

us.

00:46:01 --> 00:46:05

We don't need a good wife, they don't

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

ask for that.

00:46:06 --> 00:46:08

But a good husband, they do value their

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

sacrifice.

00:46:10 --> 00:46:12

Maybe they have certain personal thing they want

00:46:12 --> 00:46:13

to buy for themselves.

00:46:14 --> 00:46:16

Certain food that they like to pick up

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

here and there.

00:46:18 --> 00:46:19

If you can, what's wrong?

00:46:20 --> 00:46:21

You give him some allowance.

00:46:23 --> 00:46:27

Even 200, 300, in anything they do, whatever

00:46:27 --> 00:46:30

they pay, you say, no problem, give me

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

the bill.

00:46:31 --> 00:46:32

This is the money back for you.

00:46:34 --> 00:46:38

Because the wife, the best thing for them

00:46:38 --> 00:46:40

to be is the keeper.

00:46:41 --> 00:46:43

They keep whatever you give, they keep.

00:46:45 --> 00:46:49

When you have problem, then you bring it

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

up.

00:46:51 --> 00:46:53

Then everything is well balanced.

00:46:55 --> 00:46:58

We like to give and who is the

00:46:58 --> 00:46:59

best person to give?

00:46:59 --> 00:47:00

Those who are closer to us.

00:47:01 --> 00:47:06

Don't be calculative with people who are very

00:47:06 --> 00:47:07

close to us.

00:47:08 --> 00:47:10

But for us, as a good wife, we

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

never ask.

00:47:13 --> 00:47:16

As long as whatever we need, the basic

00:47:16 --> 00:47:19

thing is being provided, we don't ask.

00:47:19 --> 00:47:21

But a good man will always look into,

00:47:22 --> 00:47:25

especially when you are traveling, you may leave

00:47:25 --> 00:47:29

your wife behind, you have prepared everything, but

00:47:29 --> 00:47:33

did you also give them some money behind?

00:47:33 --> 00:47:36

Maybe there's certain emergency that they have to,

00:47:36 --> 00:47:39

Alhamdulillah, now you don't have to have cash,

00:47:39 --> 00:47:40

now all is cut.

00:47:41 --> 00:47:42

Go credit card.

00:47:44 --> 00:47:46

Today, sometimes you go to the shopping complex,

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

you get confused.

00:47:49 --> 00:47:52

You want to pay cash, they say, they

00:47:52 --> 00:47:52

don't accept cash.

00:47:52 --> 00:47:58

I just experienced last night, I went to

00:47:58 --> 00:48:02

the mall, I forgot to bring my parking

00:48:02 --> 00:48:07

kind of card, so I just picked the

00:48:07 --> 00:48:08

ticket.

00:48:08 --> 00:48:11

So I went to the machine, I want

00:48:11 --> 00:48:14

to pay cash, they don't accept cash now.

00:48:16 --> 00:48:17

I said, what happened?

00:48:17 --> 00:48:19

I put my money, they never take in

00:48:19 --> 00:48:20

my money.

00:48:21 --> 00:48:23

What is happening to the machine?

00:48:24 --> 00:48:27

Then somebody waiting behind me said, I think

00:48:27 --> 00:48:28

they don't take money now.

00:48:29 --> 00:48:32

Then how can I, what should I do

00:48:32 --> 00:48:33

now?

00:48:34 --> 00:48:36

Alhamdulillah, if I have a credit card with

00:48:36 --> 00:48:38

me, if I don't have a credit card,

00:48:38 --> 00:48:39

I cannot go out now.

00:48:42 --> 00:48:44

They say, life has changed.

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

I mean the future, the oldies will suffer

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

a lot.

00:48:50 --> 00:48:52

Now you go to the restaurant, they don't

00:48:52 --> 00:48:54

have a menu to show you anymore.

00:48:55 --> 00:48:56

What they want you to do is do

00:48:56 --> 00:48:56

what?

00:48:57 --> 00:48:58

You scan.

00:49:01 --> 00:49:02

The QR code is there, scan.

00:49:03 --> 00:49:05

We were waiting for some menu to see

00:49:05 --> 00:49:06

what is it.

00:49:06 --> 00:49:07

I can see with my eyes.

00:49:07 --> 00:49:08

No, no, scan.

00:49:10 --> 00:49:11

I'm not a good scanner.

00:49:13 --> 00:49:16

Example, things have changed, brothers and sisters.

00:49:17 --> 00:49:20

We hope, we remember Allah.

00:49:22 --> 00:49:24

You see, all this technology can be good,

00:49:24 --> 00:49:25

can be very harmful.

00:49:28 --> 00:49:30

Anything you do, it's been recorded now.

00:49:31 --> 00:49:33

But it's good to remind us, you see,

00:49:33 --> 00:49:35

Allah also record our deeds.

00:49:36 --> 00:49:37

You cannot escape.

00:49:39 --> 00:49:41

Through all this technology, people are tracking where

00:49:41 --> 00:49:43

you go, what you buy.

00:49:46 --> 00:49:48

Something is good to remind us.

00:49:49 --> 00:49:53

If human can know what you're doing, they

00:49:53 --> 00:49:54

have the record.

00:49:55 --> 00:49:56

How about Allah?

00:49:57 --> 00:50:00

Allah send two angels to us.

00:50:01 --> 00:50:02

Whatever you do, they have a record.

00:50:04 --> 00:50:08

So remember Allah often meaning, you remember the

00:50:08 --> 00:50:09

do and the don'ts.

00:50:10 --> 00:50:12

Whatever Allah want you to do is for

00:50:12 --> 00:50:13

your own benefit.

00:50:13 --> 00:50:15

Whatever Allah said don't do is also for

00:50:15 --> 00:50:17

own benefit, not for Allah.

00:50:17 --> 00:50:18

He don't need that.

00:50:19 --> 00:50:20

We need guidance.

00:50:22 --> 00:50:24

Whatever Allah want you to eat is for

00:50:24 --> 00:50:25

your own good.

00:50:25 --> 00:50:27

And He said don't eat this, it's for

00:50:27 --> 00:50:28

your own good.

00:50:28 --> 00:50:29

It's not good for your body.

00:50:33 --> 00:50:36

Number five, pray two units of prayer with

00:50:36 --> 00:50:38

sincerity and devotion.

00:50:39 --> 00:50:43

Meaning the Prophet peace be upon him and

00:50:43 --> 00:50:45

Allah love all of us.

00:50:47 --> 00:50:51

To stay connected to Allah, if you think

00:50:51 --> 00:50:54

that I need to pray two rakat before

00:50:54 --> 00:50:58

you make a choice, Salatul Istiqara example, just

00:50:58 --> 00:50:58

do.

00:51:00 --> 00:51:03

To remind us that we don't know a

00:51:03 --> 00:51:04

lot of things.

00:51:05 --> 00:51:07

We don't know about the unseen, who knows

00:51:07 --> 00:51:08

Allah.

00:51:08 --> 00:51:10

So when you want to make a decision

00:51:10 --> 00:51:16

is highly recommended to take wudu and make

00:51:16 --> 00:51:17

two rakat prayer.

00:51:18 --> 00:51:19

Seek Allah's guidance.

00:51:21 --> 00:51:22

Oh Allah, if this thing is good for

00:51:22 --> 00:51:27

me, for my religion, for my family, make

00:51:27 --> 00:51:28

it easy for me.

00:51:29 --> 00:51:31

Sometimes it's good for you but it's not

00:51:31 --> 00:51:32

good for your religion.

00:51:32 --> 00:51:34

You get more money, it's good for you.

00:51:35 --> 00:51:38

But now you have no time to learn

00:51:38 --> 00:51:41

about Islam, no time to attend classes because

00:51:41 --> 00:51:43

they want all your time to be for

00:51:43 --> 00:51:44

the work.

00:51:46 --> 00:51:48

Or, now you don't have time with your

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

family.

00:51:49 --> 00:51:50

They want you to send you over here,

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

you get more allowance but you have no

00:51:53 --> 00:51:59

time with your family and it's not healthy

00:51:59 --> 00:51:59

sometimes.

00:51:59 --> 00:52:01

A family is a family.

00:52:01 --> 00:52:03

You have right upon your wife, your wife

00:52:03 --> 00:52:05

have right upon you, the children have right

00:52:05 --> 00:52:06

upon you.

00:52:06 --> 00:52:09

They need a father, a papa figure sometimes

00:52:09 --> 00:52:10

but you are not there.

00:52:11 --> 00:52:13

Then they look for another papa.

00:52:14 --> 00:52:15

Then you get upset.

00:52:17 --> 00:52:20

All this can happen and it's happening.

00:52:20 --> 00:52:23

In the West, it's happening because everybody is

00:52:23 --> 00:52:24

so self-centered.

00:52:25 --> 00:52:27

Me, me, you, you.

00:52:29 --> 00:52:32

There's no family value anymore.

00:52:35 --> 00:52:36

I hope there are a lot of changes

00:52:36 --> 00:52:37

even in the West.

00:52:38 --> 00:52:40

There is when I was there in the

00:52:40 --> 00:52:44

early, late 70s, early 80s.

00:52:45 --> 00:52:49

I spent quite some time in Europe and

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

I get to know some good family, some

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

friends but I have a very unique experience.

00:52:56 --> 00:52:57

They invite me for lunch.

00:52:58 --> 00:53:01

I went with them and then when the

00:53:01 --> 00:53:03

bill come, they pay their own bill.

00:53:06 --> 00:53:07

Alhamdulillah, I have some money.

00:53:09 --> 00:53:11

They are the one who come and join

00:53:11 --> 00:53:12

us for lunch.

00:53:13 --> 00:53:17

I say Alhamdulillah but when the bill come,

00:53:17 --> 00:53:20

not only they don't pay my bill.

00:53:22 --> 00:53:24

Husband and wife, everybody pay their own bill.

00:53:27 --> 00:53:29

Deep in my heart, I say, why they

00:53:29 --> 00:53:39

go and why they go and waste extra

00:53:39 --> 00:53:42

money because every bill there is a charge,

00:53:43 --> 00:53:44

a service charge for a bill.

00:53:46 --> 00:53:49

But I don't argue with them because maybe

00:53:49 --> 00:53:51

that is their style but at least I

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

have some money and I don't order expensive

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

food Alhamdulillah so I'm able to pay.

00:53:59 --> 00:54:01

I was in Paris.

00:54:01 --> 00:54:03

I was in Germany.

00:54:05 --> 00:54:06

Maybe not everybody is like that.

00:54:07 --> 00:54:11

Certain people, certain individual, we are boyfriend, girlfriend

00:54:11 --> 00:54:14

or old friend or husband, wife but come

00:54:14 --> 00:54:17

to money, yours is yours, mine is mine.

00:54:18 --> 00:54:20

Very, very individualistic.

00:54:21 --> 00:54:23

Maybe they are used to that.

00:54:26 --> 00:54:28

It's a shame you invite a guest and

00:54:28 --> 00:54:29

you call the guest to pay.

00:54:31 --> 00:54:35

So Alhamdulillah these people after some time I

00:54:35 --> 00:54:38

came back home I invite them to visit

00:54:38 --> 00:54:39

Malaysia.

00:54:40 --> 00:54:42

Two couple came.

00:54:43 --> 00:54:47

So they are my guests and each time

00:54:47 --> 00:54:51

when we go to eat everything Alhamdulillah I

00:54:51 --> 00:54:55

will go to the cashier earlier because they

00:54:55 --> 00:54:57

are going to ask different, different bill.

00:54:57 --> 00:55:00

I say, this one if they want to

00:55:00 --> 00:55:01

pay also don't accept.

00:55:02 --> 00:55:03

Say consider pay.

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

This is mine.

00:55:05 --> 00:55:05

How much?

00:55:06 --> 00:55:06

I pay first.

00:55:07 --> 00:55:08

We pay in advance.

00:55:09 --> 00:55:11

We don't want them to pay also.

00:55:12 --> 00:55:13

They were surprised.

00:55:15 --> 00:55:18

First the bill when they ask this bill

00:55:18 --> 00:55:21

and his bill even our people here were

00:55:21 --> 00:55:22

surprised.

00:55:22 --> 00:55:24

You eat all together why must you have

00:55:24 --> 00:55:25

so many bills?

00:55:26 --> 00:55:30

No, each bill you have service tax again.

00:55:33 --> 00:55:35

But anyhow I said it's okay consider.

00:55:36 --> 00:55:38

What do you mean consider pay?

00:55:38 --> 00:55:39

No, no, no, no.

00:55:39 --> 00:55:40

I never pay yet.

00:55:40 --> 00:55:41

You don't have to pay.

00:55:41 --> 00:55:41

You are my guest.

00:55:44 --> 00:55:45

We don't have that value.

00:55:45 --> 00:55:49

Our value when you my guest we will

00:55:49 --> 00:55:49

take care of them.

00:55:52 --> 00:55:54

Sometimes you see among the Chinese people you

00:55:54 --> 00:55:56

see the Chinese people they are they are

00:55:56 --> 00:55:58

very good in that because they work very

00:55:58 --> 00:55:59

hard and they love to eat.

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

So sometimes when come to paying they were

00:56:05 --> 00:56:06

fighting to pay.

00:56:07 --> 00:56:09

No, no, no, no.

00:56:09 --> 00:56:10

Take my card.

00:56:11 --> 00:56:12

Not like us.

00:56:13 --> 00:56:15

We are just pretend to fight.

00:56:16 --> 00:56:18

Maybe we pretend to put our hand in

00:56:18 --> 00:56:21

the pocket but we are not pulling out

00:56:21 --> 00:56:21

anything yet.

00:56:24 --> 00:56:28

But Chinese people normally because they like to

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

eat.

00:56:28 --> 00:56:30

They work very hard.

00:56:30 --> 00:56:33

They are not stingy in food.

00:56:34 --> 00:56:36

Anything to do with food they are ready

00:56:36 --> 00:56:39

because they have their own culture and belief.

00:56:40 --> 00:56:43

You see whoever sleep at night with the

00:56:43 --> 00:56:48

tummy full if they die there is good

00:56:48 --> 00:56:50

ending.

00:56:50 --> 00:56:52

That mean they go to paradise.

00:56:54 --> 00:56:57

Their paradise is you must not be hungry.

00:56:58 --> 00:57:00

Hunger is a sign of * fire.

00:57:02 --> 00:57:04

That's why they eat a lot and they

00:57:04 --> 00:57:05

are not calculative.

00:57:07 --> 00:57:12

Number six please remember prayer is very important.

00:57:12 --> 00:57:15

Anything when you want to travel you don't

00:57:15 --> 00:57:18

know whether what is good or not you

00:57:18 --> 00:57:20

make two rakat istiqara.

00:57:21 --> 00:57:27

Reciting the Quran with understanding and reflection and

00:57:27 --> 00:57:30

this is what we as a person who

00:57:30 --> 00:57:34

believe in Allah who love Allah who is

00:57:34 --> 00:57:36

proud to be a Muslim you must stay

00:57:36 --> 00:57:40

connected to Allah and recite his book.

00:57:41 --> 00:57:44

Today you have the apps with you now

00:57:44 --> 00:57:48

you just go in and just open at

00:57:48 --> 00:57:51

least one surah even short surah but reflect

00:57:51 --> 00:57:52

try to understand.

00:57:53 --> 00:57:57

Can you imagine by reciting قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ

00:57:57 --> 00:58:02

أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدٌ What do you learn?

00:58:03 --> 00:58:05

We have been reciting this ayah we memorize

00:58:05 --> 00:58:08

this ayah but do we reflect or not?

00:58:09 --> 00:58:14

Say Allah is one he is the one

00:58:14 --> 00:58:17

that you must stay connected he is the

00:58:17 --> 00:58:19

one that you must talk to.

00:58:21 --> 00:58:21

Why?

00:58:22 --> 00:58:30

Allah everything belong to him he own everything

00:58:30 --> 00:58:37

he create everything everyone depend on him even

00:58:37 --> 00:58:41

the Satan who is trying to tempt us

00:58:41 --> 00:58:45

to misguide us he cannot do anything without

00:58:45 --> 00:58:50

the permission of Allah فَبِعِزَّتِكَ you see only

00:58:50 --> 00:58:54

with your عِزَّ with your permission with your

00:58:54 --> 00:58:56

permission with your will Oh Allah I can

00:58:57 --> 00:59:00

misguide other even when he want to do

00:59:00 --> 00:59:02

something back to us you know he ask

00:59:02 --> 00:59:11

Allah for permission that is Satan we are

00:59:11 --> 00:59:15

not Satan but do you ask Allah?

00:59:16 --> 00:59:20

we hardly ask Allah so you recite the

00:59:20 --> 00:59:22

Quran the Quran will tell you what to

00:59:22 --> 00:59:26

do Quran is like the word of Allah

00:59:26 --> 00:59:28

00:59:36 --> 00:59:40

so you must also depend on Allah come

00:59:40 --> 00:59:46

back to him number seven fast on a

00:59:46 --> 00:59:50

hot dry day this is a bit tough

00:59:51 --> 00:59:54

Ramadan no problem we all are ready to

00:59:54 --> 00:59:57

fast how hot is Ramadan we still have

00:59:57 --> 01:00:01

to fast but if you are fasting outside

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

of Ramadan is that easy?

01:00:04 --> 01:00:06

fasting outside Ramadan is that easy?

01:00:07 --> 01:00:09

fasting in Ramadan is easy?

01:00:09 --> 01:00:15

01:00:15 --> 01:00:19

everybody is fasting so it easy but when

01:00:23 --> 01:00:25

you are eating left and right is eating

01:00:25 --> 01:00:30

and you but it is good sometimes to

01:00:30 --> 01:00:32

have self-control fasting actually is the train

01:00:32 --> 01:00:36

to have self-control you have the desire

01:00:37 --> 01:00:41

towards that but by fasting you control your

01:00:41 --> 01:00:47

desire but anything to do with sunnah you

01:00:47 --> 01:00:52

don't do especially the sisters why?

01:00:52 --> 01:00:55

don't fast the sunnah without the permission of

01:00:55 --> 01:01:01

your husband there is rule adapt but if

01:01:01 --> 01:01:04

you are supposed to work very hard for

01:01:04 --> 01:01:09

your company your job need your energy fasting

01:01:09 --> 01:01:15

may slow down your activities become very unproductive

01:01:15 --> 01:01:18

then you don't do because it is not

01:01:18 --> 01:01:25

wajib but fasting sunnah if you feel that

01:01:26 --> 01:01:33

without burdening yourself without costing any kind of

01:01:33 --> 01:01:38

self-destruction do it if you can normally

01:01:38 --> 01:01:41

people who fast they will get excuse please

01:01:41 --> 01:01:43

01:01:43 --> 01:01:47

am fasting don't send me outside I don't

01:01:47 --> 01:01:50

like the heat because I am fasting this

01:01:50 --> 01:01:54

kind of fast have no value the fasting

01:01:54 --> 01:01:58

in the time of our prophets all of

01:01:58 --> 01:02:01

them are ready to go through all the

01:02:01 --> 01:02:05

hardship and they are still fasting they never

01:02:05 --> 01:02:14

become unproductive because of fasting number 8 give

01:02:14 --> 01:02:18

charity secretly Allah and the prophet love us

01:02:18 --> 01:02:25

to give charity without making any public announcement

01:02:25 --> 01:02:30

unless you have a good reason one of

01:02:30 --> 01:02:32

the group of people that the prophet will

01:02:32 --> 01:02:34

get the shade from Allah in the day

01:02:34 --> 01:02:41

of judgment are those who give a sadaqa

01:02:42 --> 01:02:44

with the right hand and left hand knows

01:02:44 --> 01:02:47

not that means you don't go and show

01:02:47 --> 01:02:51

off unless you have a reason meaning you

01:02:51 --> 01:02:54

want to encourage other people also to donate

01:02:54 --> 01:03:05

then it's good back to your intention but

01:03:05 --> 01:03:09

if you just want to let everybody know

01:03:09 --> 01:03:11

that I am a good donor there is

01:03:11 --> 01:03:15

nothing wrong you can give but the worry

01:03:15 --> 01:03:17

we have if you are not sincere that

01:03:17 --> 01:03:20

means there is no value in the sight

01:03:20 --> 01:03:24

of Allah people will praise you people talk

01:03:24 --> 01:03:28

good about you but from Allah nothing in

01:03:28 --> 01:03:31

the day of judgment the prophet did mention

01:03:31 --> 01:03:33

that there are three group of people that

01:03:33 --> 01:03:37

Allah will call them and judge them first

01:03:37 --> 01:03:39

and one of them a person who like

01:03:39 --> 01:03:42

to give sadaqa who like to do charitable

01:03:42 --> 01:03:48

work then Allah ask what have you done

01:03:48 --> 01:03:49

with the wealth I give it to you

01:03:49 --> 01:03:51

then he say oh I give charity here

01:03:51 --> 01:03:54

I give charity I give donation here I

01:03:54 --> 01:03:58

help Gaza I help Lebanon everything you have

01:03:58 --> 01:04:01

been doing that it's not that you are

01:04:01 --> 01:04:05

01:04:05 --> 01:04:09

ask for whom do you do this for

01:04:09 --> 01:04:12

who then we say for you oh Allah

01:04:12 --> 01:04:16

and what did Allah say qad zabta in

01:04:16 --> 01:04:17

the day of judgment you still want to

01:04:17 --> 01:04:20

lie you want to lie in front of

01:04:20 --> 01:04:26

01:04:29 --> 01:04:33

01:04:33 --> 01:04:35

01:04:35 --> 01:04:36

the people I am a good donor I

01:04:36 --> 01:04:39

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

do even you give charity if you want

01:05:01 --> 01:05:04

to do it secretly it's better you want

01:05:04 --> 01:05:07

to do it openly also it's allowed but

01:05:07 --> 01:05:11

take care of your intention not to show

01:05:11 --> 01:05:15

off but to give encourage other people to

01:05:15 --> 01:05:19

do if we are normal people people ask

01:05:19 --> 01:05:22

for donation we give 100 we are normal

01:06:05 --> 01:06:06

01:06:06 --> 01:06:11

must ask yourself if I am somebody should

01:06:11 --> 01:06:16

I give that small amount no value but

01:06:16 --> 01:06:19

for normal people our children who don't work

01:07:04 --> 01:07:09

is there and give the best give the

01:07:09 --> 01:07:14

best that's why until the left hand doesn't

01:07:14 --> 01:07:16

know what the right hand has spent that

01:07:16 --> 01:07:20

would be the best one number 9 provide

01:07:20 --> 01:07:24

relief and aid to the afflicted Muslim this

01:07:24 --> 01:07:27

is what everybody is trying to do the

01:07:27 --> 01:07:29

level best here we are not in Gaza

01:07:29 --> 01:07:30

we are not in Lebanon but thing is

01:07:30 --> 01:07:33

happening we know they are suffering what you

01:07:33 --> 01:07:35

can do try your best to do we

01:07:35 --> 01:07:39

hope we all are sincere and we hope

01:07:42 --> 01:07:47

we plan properly there are certain thing is

01:07:47 --> 01:07:48

not easy for us to do from a

01:07:48 --> 01:07:51

far distance the best is those who are

01:07:51 --> 01:07:54

closer to them they know the situation over

01:07:54 --> 01:07:57

there they know whether they can go in

01:07:57 --> 01:08:01

or not it's not just taking photos here

01:08:01 --> 01:08:04

and there sometimes we get very confused they

01:08:04 --> 01:08:07

have been blocking everybody from entering even you

01:08:07 --> 01:08:11

cannot enter but we can enter sometimes we

01:08:11 --> 01:08:13

start to think whether this thing is new

01:08:13 --> 01:08:17

or this thing is somewhere else we don't

01:08:17 --> 01:08:21

know things are very confused today but everybody

01:08:21 --> 01:08:24

is asking for this fund for that fund

01:08:24 --> 01:08:27

for this fund for that fund everything is

01:08:27 --> 01:08:29

saying oh it's our group it can be

01:08:29 --> 01:08:32

trusted our group can every group is claiming

01:08:32 --> 01:08:37

their group can be trusted but use our

01:08:37 --> 01:08:41

common sense we must ask are you sure

01:08:41 --> 01:08:43

that it's safe for you to deliver all

01:08:43 --> 01:08:46

this thing there's no problem at all if

01:08:46 --> 01:08:49

not it's a waste it's really a waste

01:08:50 --> 01:08:55

we have people who go by themselves bring

01:08:55 --> 01:08:58

their money by themselves bring something but everything

01:08:58 --> 01:09:02

was been robbed oh you you come in

01:09:02 --> 01:09:05

to bring okay you can go out now

01:09:06 --> 01:09:12

it defeat the whole purpose when situation like

01:09:12 --> 01:09:14

that only Allah knows we do not know

01:09:14 --> 01:09:16

public do not know public have good intention

01:09:18 --> 01:09:21

but we do not know about the group

01:09:21 --> 01:09:23

of people who are claiming we represent this

01:09:23 --> 01:09:26

we represent that this is something it's very

01:09:26 --> 01:09:31

challenging today but we do our level best

01:09:33 --> 01:09:39

number 10 yeah be as as tenuous yeah

01:09:39 --> 01:09:43

as seamless as possible in the fleeting world

01:09:43 --> 01:09:46

always be careful when you talk about dunya

01:09:47 --> 01:09:51

don't let the dunya enter your heart we

01:09:51 --> 01:09:54

love dunya but let dunya outside our heart

01:09:54 --> 01:09:58

put akhira inside our heart nobody say I

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

don't like dunya even Allah in the Quran

01:10:00 --> 01:10:11

said Allah

01:10:11 --> 01:10:14

said even you are striving for akhira you

01:10:14 --> 01:10:17

want the best for your akhira prepare for

01:10:17 --> 01:10:25

your akhira don't forget your dunya yeah you

01:10:25 --> 01:10:27

must have some balance for the dunya that's

01:10:27 --> 01:10:38

why the best prayer is balance but

01:10:39 --> 01:10:41

most of the time akhira will be more

01:10:41 --> 01:10:45

important than dunya because the life in akhira

01:10:45 --> 01:10:49

is everlasting life dunya life is limited 40

01:10:49 --> 01:10:54

50 60 70 most of us 40 now

01:10:54 --> 01:10:59

alhamdulillah yeah but still young yeah we some

01:10:59 --> 01:11:03

of us 80 alhamdulillah still young because as

01:11:03 --> 01:11:05

long as you are two digit is young

01:11:05 --> 01:11:08

so don't worry yeah anybody ask you how

01:11:08 --> 01:11:10

old when you know that you are below

01:11:10 --> 01:11:14

100 you are young yeah so don't feel

01:11:14 --> 01:11:17

bad yeah everything will feel good to yourself

01:11:17 --> 01:11:20

but don't ask people about the age people

01:11:20 --> 01:11:24

don't like something makruh yeah it's not haram

01:11:24 --> 01:11:29

yeah so always remember al-akhira is better

01:11:30 --> 01:11:34

than this dunya and more lasting yeah so

01:11:34 --> 01:11:38

we hope Allah will protect all of us

01:11:38 --> 01:11:42

yeah and give us all the good quality

01:11:43 --> 01:11:46

so that we will have a noble life

01:11:47 --> 01:11:51

yeah among the delusion of prophet no son

01:11:51 --> 01:11:55

was his saying I will betake myself to

01:11:55 --> 01:11:58

a mountain it will save me from the

01:11:58 --> 01:12:01

water you see Allah is showing us what

01:12:01 --> 01:12:04

happened to the early prophets not only we

01:12:04 --> 01:12:09

even the prophet family yeah have problem even

01:12:09 --> 01:12:13

the prophet have to face some test from

01:12:13 --> 01:12:16

Allah not all the family of the prophet

01:12:16 --> 01:12:20

is safe one is a son of Noah

01:12:21 --> 01:12:28

who choose not to follow Allah's command and

01:12:28 --> 01:12:30

follow the father who was a prophet at

01:12:30 --> 01:12:34

that time yeah go into the ship because

01:12:34 --> 01:12:38

Allah is going to send rain and he

01:12:38 --> 01:12:41

is going to flood the earth his son

01:12:41 --> 01:12:43

said no no no I am not going

01:12:43 --> 01:12:45

to the ship I better go up to

01:12:45 --> 01:12:50

the mountain to show us that even Noah

01:12:50 --> 01:12:52

is a prophet there is no guarantee that

01:12:52 --> 01:12:56

his son or will follow him he have

01:12:56 --> 01:13:01

four son he have Kanan Samham Yafut the

01:13:01 --> 01:13:04

one who refuse to follow is Kanan no

01:13:06 --> 01:13:09

over confident why must I go into the

01:13:09 --> 01:13:11

ship and my father go and build a

01:13:11 --> 01:13:16

ship yeah beside the mountain not beside the

01:13:16 --> 01:13:21

sea because the flood is coming in so

01:13:21 --> 01:13:23

he said then to just go into the

01:13:23 --> 01:13:25

ship that I better go up to the

01:13:25 --> 01:13:30

mountain but the flood come and flooded the

01:13:30 --> 01:13:35

land all the mountain is gone yeah just

01:13:35 --> 01:13:38

an example so there is no guarantee that

01:13:38 --> 01:13:41

if you are a good person your children

01:13:41 --> 01:13:44

can be like you no guarantee you just

01:13:44 --> 01:13:47

have to try to give them the guidance

01:13:47 --> 01:13:51

they need the encouragement may Allah make them

01:13:51 --> 01:13:58

righteous yeah had he he be taken himself

01:13:58 --> 01:14:01

to Allah his outcome would have been very

01:14:01 --> 01:14:04

different yeah the same go to the cause

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08

of misery for Namrud was he saying I

01:14:08 --> 01:14:12

bring about life and I cause death when

01:14:12 --> 01:14:14

the people were in his time telling him

01:14:14 --> 01:14:17

no Allah who give life and give death

01:14:17 --> 01:14:19

Namrud one of the king at a certain

01:14:19 --> 01:14:22

time said no I also can give life

01:14:22 --> 01:14:26

and I also can yeah kill or take

01:14:26 --> 01:14:30

life no he just command his soldier bring

01:14:30 --> 01:14:33

two prisoner up and one he said I

01:14:33 --> 01:14:34

give you life I free you one he

01:14:34 --> 01:14:36

said I kill you he said I also

01:14:36 --> 01:14:39

can give life they are trying to show

01:14:39 --> 01:14:42

off that they also have the same power

01:14:43 --> 01:14:47

yeah it's like when Abraham approach them and

01:14:47 --> 01:14:49

then they say ok Allah come up to

01:14:49 --> 01:14:52

make the sun come up from the east

01:14:52 --> 01:14:55

and set the west so can you make

01:14:55 --> 01:14:57

the sun come up from the west now

01:14:59 --> 01:15:02

now they got stuck they thought they can

01:15:02 --> 01:15:04

do this to human but the creation of

01:15:04 --> 01:15:09

Allah is not only human but what is

01:15:09 --> 01:15:14

important don't be over confident yeah because if

01:15:14 --> 01:15:17

you want to pray God then with a

01:15:17 --> 01:15:22

small example you will be beaten you will

01:15:22 --> 01:15:27

be defeated yeah the key to our happiness

01:15:27 --> 01:15:30

can be summed up in some simple yet

01:15:30 --> 01:15:36

profound phrase that the phrase of Tawheed there

01:15:36 --> 01:15:41

is la ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah by doing

01:15:41 --> 01:15:44

that brother and sister we save ourselves from

01:15:44 --> 01:15:49

a lot of problem when one pronounce the

01:15:49 --> 01:15:53

shahadatain yeah it only speak should be pronounced

01:15:53 --> 01:15:55

here there is no value over there anymore

01:15:56 --> 01:15:59

over there nothing can help you so in

01:15:59 --> 01:16:02

the day of judgment I will pronounce but

01:16:02 --> 01:16:06

there is only one group of people only

01:16:06 --> 01:16:08

one group of people that Allah will give

01:16:08 --> 01:16:13

them the last test who are they like

01:16:13 --> 01:16:21

what I will not punish any one of

01:16:21 --> 01:16:25

you until I have sent a messenger the

01:16:25 --> 01:16:28

message of Islam have reached you now brothers

01:16:28 --> 01:16:29

and sister a lot of us who have

01:16:29 --> 01:16:31

friends who are not yet Muslim and you

01:16:31 --> 01:16:34

don't convey the message of Islam to them

01:16:34 --> 01:16:37

you will be asked by Allah in the

01:16:37 --> 01:16:41

day of judgment because the prophet will witness

01:16:41 --> 01:16:46

against us and then the prophet will be

01:16:46 --> 01:16:49

a shahid upon all of us he conveyed

01:16:49 --> 01:16:53

the message and he said convey even one

01:16:53 --> 01:16:56

ayah to somebody who are not yet a

01:16:56 --> 01:16:59

Muslim have we conveyed we failed to convey

01:17:00 --> 01:17:04

and it's very very bad we have to

01:17:04 --> 01:17:06

share the message of Islam but those who

01:17:06 --> 01:17:09

do not know at all nobody talk to

01:17:09 --> 01:17:17

them about Islam zero exposure then Allah said

01:17:18 --> 01:17:23

Allah punished them until Allah sent a messenger

01:17:23 --> 01:17:27

then the day of judgment Allah will give

01:17:27 --> 01:17:33

them the final test whether they will succeed

01:17:33 --> 01:17:37

or not is between they and Allah sometimes

01:17:40 --> 01:17:45

they are saying what kind of test of

01:17:45 --> 01:17:47

course that time is easy you know the

01:17:47 --> 01:17:49

one who's talking to you is Allah what

01:17:49 --> 01:17:54

is there to deny you know but the

01:17:54 --> 01:17:56

test may come in a different way only

01:17:56 --> 01:18:03

Allah knows just give an example Allah said

01:18:03 --> 01:18:10

go to * just example and we saw

01:19:37 --> 01:19:43

Quran nobody there to accept this as an

01:19:43 --> 01:19:49

amanah except human being every Christian obey Allah

01:19:49 --> 01:19:58

Allah said everything that Allah

01:20:01 --> 01:20:05

to him the only creation of Allah that

01:21:02 --> 01:21:06

01:21:06 --> 01:21:11

that is the best for all of us

01:21:11 --> 01:21:15

don't only keep the shahada to yourself time

01:21:15 --> 01:21:18

for you to go out and inform others

01:21:18 --> 01:21:22

like our prophet when he get the tawheed

01:21:22 --> 01:21:27

then immediately Allah said to him wake up

01:21:27 --> 01:21:32

and go out yeah those who are just

01:21:32 --> 01:21:37

sleeping cover themselves feel comfortable to yourself it's

01:21:37 --> 01:21:41

time for you to get out and call

01:21:41 --> 01:21:45

other people to tawheed that's how Islam spread

01:21:45 --> 01:21:49

and that's how we all became a Muslim

01:21:51 --> 01:21:56

why our father become Muslim because their parents

01:21:56 --> 01:22:00

are Muslim our grandfather when do our grandfather

01:22:00 --> 01:22:04

become Muslim we don't know once upon a

01:22:04 --> 01:22:07

time they are pagan they follow the Hindu

01:22:07 --> 01:22:09

they follow they worship so many other things

01:22:09 --> 01:22:14

then suddenly because of the good preacher the

01:22:14 --> 01:22:19

good dua those who travel around this country

01:22:19 --> 01:22:23

with business intention they don't come here as

01:22:23 --> 01:22:28

a business man but while they are doing

01:22:28 --> 01:22:31

business they are practicing Muslim they pray by

01:22:31 --> 01:22:34

themselves and people are looking at them who

01:22:34 --> 01:22:37

what kind of God do these people worship

01:22:37 --> 01:22:41

who is they worshipping they want to know

01:22:41 --> 01:22:46

and then they start to talk you know

01:22:46 --> 01:22:48

a Dain is like a business man you

01:22:48 --> 01:22:51

have a good product it's time for you

01:22:51 --> 01:22:54

01:23:11 --> 01:23:15

to win them over with the will of

01:23:15 --> 01:23:19

Allah they get Hidayah it's very very important

01:23:20 --> 01:23:24

01:27:34 --> 01:27:36

if there any question now we open for

01:27:36 --> 01:27:54

Q&A again provide

01:27:54 --> 01:27:58

relief and aid to the afflicted Muslim whoever

01:27:58 --> 01:28:02

gives relief to a Muslim from one of

01:28:02 --> 01:28:06

the visitors of this life Allah will relieve

01:28:06 --> 01:28:12

him why is it specifically Muslim why not

01:28:13 --> 01:28:18

man you repeat if a Christian needs help

01:28:18 --> 01:28:21

or a Jew needs help or a Buddhist

01:28:21 --> 01:28:24

or a Shinto or I will help them

01:28:24 --> 01:28:27

who need help you mean who need help

01:28:27 --> 01:28:33

yeah but here it specifies Muslim why based

01:28:33 --> 01:28:37

on the book the author put this his

01:28:37 --> 01:28:41

word but Islamically when you do charitable work

01:28:41 --> 01:28:44

when you do good thing you do good

01:28:44 --> 01:28:48

for everybody but I just quote what is

01:28:48 --> 01:28:51

written in the book by the author but

01:28:51 --> 01:28:54

Islamically in the time of our prophet when

01:28:54 --> 01:28:57

they talk about be kind be good be

01:28:57 --> 01:29:03

helpful is to mankind even to animals you

01:29:03 --> 01:29:08

must also care for other beings because they

01:29:08 --> 01:29:12

are also part of Allah's creation yeah but

01:29:12 --> 01:29:15

the author use this term we just quote

01:29:15 --> 01:29:18

what he said but Islamically when you say

01:29:18 --> 01:29:21

good you're talking good to mankind that's why

01:29:21 --> 01:29:26

I said you are the best for humanity

01:29:26 --> 01:29:32

not only for Muslim no just reminded of

01:29:32 --> 01:29:38

the fires in Australia in 2011 and it

01:29:38 --> 01:29:42

was a bad time particularly in eastern Australia

01:29:42 --> 01:29:46

because the whole east coast was on fire

01:29:47 --> 01:29:55

and the Sikhs the Indians Sikhs did relief

01:29:55 --> 01:30:00

work and the Chinese did relief work and

01:30:00 --> 01:30:04

the Muslims did relief work and so it

01:30:04 --> 01:30:09

went on all these disperse groups were helping

01:30:09 --> 01:30:15

feed the firefighters helping the firefighters everybody was

01:30:15 --> 01:30:19

helping and so this this paragraph to me

01:30:19 --> 01:30:24

I think that's wrong yeah sometime but we

01:30:24 --> 01:30:28

could want the author like to share but

01:30:28 --> 01:30:31

then we also recorrect it that's why we

01:30:31 --> 01:30:35

said we talk about humanity we talk about

01:30:35 --> 01:30:39

not only Muslim but we are dealing with

01:30:39 --> 01:30:43

fellow mankind yeah what you have just said

01:30:43 --> 01:30:46

is very very true that's why when you

01:30:46 --> 01:30:49

see what happened in the time of our

01:30:49 --> 01:30:53

prophet from the early generation when anybody need

01:30:53 --> 01:30:56

help the Muslim is always there to help

01:30:56 --> 01:31:00

anybody who need their help that should be

01:31:00 --> 01:31:02

right spirit like what you just said what

01:31:02 --> 01:31:05

happened in Australia when there's a big fire

01:31:05 --> 01:31:09

everyday is there because we are all like

01:31:09 --> 01:31:13

a big family you see in Islam we

01:31:13 --> 01:31:16

always believe that all of us mankind we

01:31:16 --> 01:31:20

are children of Adam and Eve we are

01:31:20 --> 01:31:24

all one family only when God decide to

01:31:24 --> 01:31:27

make us nation and tribes not for you

01:31:27 --> 01:31:31

to humiliate each other Allah said I make

01:31:31 --> 01:31:34

you nation and tribe not for you to

01:31:34 --> 01:31:37

fight against each other say I'm better than

01:31:37 --> 01:31:39

him just because of race because of color

01:31:39 --> 01:31:42

no so that you get to know each

01:31:42 --> 01:31:46

other help each other and live together in

01:31:46 --> 01:31:49

peace and harmony and the best among you

01:31:49 --> 01:31:54

Allah in the Quran chapter of said is

01:31:54 --> 01:31:59

those who are piety who are connected that

01:31:59 --> 01:32:02

you do not to show off you do

01:32:02 --> 01:32:05

purely for the sake of God then you

01:32:05 --> 01:32:09

feel different you feel satisfied and everybody feel

01:32:09 --> 01:32:13

good so my argument is not with Islam

01:32:13 --> 01:32:17

but with the author of this yeah sometime

01:32:17 --> 01:32:20

the author may have certain wording they use

01:32:20 --> 01:32:22

based on how they feel at that time

01:32:22 --> 01:32:26

so then we will try to rectify it

01:32:26 --> 01:32:29

from time to time Alhamdulillah thank you for

01:32:29 --> 01:32:43

your comment now any next question yeah yes

01:32:43 --> 01:32:46

Sheikh if we wake early in the morning

01:32:46 --> 01:32:50

and there is time before fajar to pray

01:32:50 --> 01:32:56

three rakat is it better to pray once

01:32:56 --> 01:32:59

with two rakat and then pray another time

01:32:59 --> 01:33:03

with one rakat or just to pray three

01:33:03 --> 01:33:06

rakat together yeah it depends on what prayer

01:33:06 --> 01:33:09

we are talking about if you are talking

01:33:09 --> 01:33:12

vitil prayer if you are just talking about

01:33:12 --> 01:33:16

vitil prayer then highly recommend three rakat one

01:33:16 --> 01:33:21

shot yeah if you say i want to

01:33:21 --> 01:33:24

only pray vitil one rakat so two rakat

01:33:24 --> 01:33:29

i want to make tahajjud prayer example then

01:33:29 --> 01:33:31

you pray two and then you end one

01:33:31 --> 01:33:36

vitil but if your intention is vitil three

01:33:36 --> 01:33:43

is highly recommended okay alhamdulillah now any last

01:33:43 --> 01:33:48

question now fatah sister salam alaikum sheikh alaikum

01:33:48 --> 01:33:53

01:33:53 --> 01:33:57

clarification the first one followed the gentleman who

01:33:57 --> 01:34:01

asked about the book the author saying that

01:34:01 --> 01:34:06

01:34:06 --> 01:34:08

you have one muslim and one non-muslim

01:34:08 --> 01:34:12

to help you can only help one is

01:34:12 --> 01:34:15

it the muslim that you help first you

01:34:15 --> 01:34:18

01:34:21 --> 01:34:25

more urgent okay that one come first yeah

01:34:25 --> 01:34:28

okay thank you the other one is about

01:34:28 --> 01:34:32

the sunnah prayers as well say if i

01:34:32 --> 01:34:37

intend to do three sunnah prayers um so

01:34:37 --> 01:34:44

uh sunnah wudu tahajjud and witir okay is

01:34:44 --> 01:34:46

that the order that i should do oh

01:34:46 --> 01:34:48

yeah that mean if you want to pray

01:34:48 --> 01:34:50

sunnah wudu after you take your evolution then

01:34:50 --> 01:34:54

the sunnah wudu start it must start with

01:34:54 --> 01:34:57

sunnah wudu okay then you still have time

01:34:57 --> 01:35:01

i want to pray tahajjud then tahajjud tahajjud

01:35:01 --> 01:35:05

witir is always the last okay yeah yeah

01:35:05 --> 01:35:08

you don't pray tahajjud first and wudu no

01:35:08 --> 01:35:39

no earlier

01:35:39 --> 01:35:40

after Ishaq.

01:35:41 --> 01:35:44

Suddenly you wake up because you cannot sleep

01:35:44 --> 01:35:47

now and then you say it's better for

01:35:47 --> 01:35:50

me to pray sunnah than to waste my

01:35:50 --> 01:35:54

morning without doing anything.

01:35:55 --> 01:35:59

Then you can pray your sunnah tahajud or

01:35:59 --> 01:36:01

other sunnah that is recommended by the Prophet

01:36:02 --> 01:36:04

but then there is no more witr.

01:36:05 --> 01:36:10

Please remember because the Prophet said there is

01:36:10 --> 01:36:11

no two witr in one night.

01:36:12 --> 01:36:14

But if you have a plan that I

01:36:14 --> 01:36:18

am going to wake up tonight maybe at

01:36:18 --> 01:36:22

4am or 5am to pray my other sunnah

01:36:22 --> 01:36:25

prayer, tahajud prayer, then you delay witr.

01:36:26 --> 01:36:28

But when you don't have a plan but

01:36:28 --> 01:36:30

suddenly you wake up and you cannot sleep,

01:36:30 --> 01:36:31

you want to pray the sunnah, you can

01:36:31 --> 01:36:35

do but don't repeat the witr again because

01:36:35 --> 01:36:38

the Prophet himself said la witran filay, no

01:36:38 --> 01:36:41

two witr in one night.

01:36:42 --> 01:36:46

So may Allah guide all of us so

01:36:46 --> 01:36:49

that we know how to practice the prayer,

01:36:49 --> 01:36:54

the sunnah prayer and following the adab so

01:36:54 --> 01:36:56

that we follow the system.

01:36:57 --> 01:36:57

Alhamdulillah.

01:36:59 --> 01:37:02

Until we meet up again inshallah, so don't

01:37:02 --> 01:37:04

forget anybody who are free that you can

01:37:04 --> 01:37:08

come and join us every Saturday, you are

01:37:08 --> 01:37:11

01:37:11 --> 01:37:13

if you have the time.

01:37:13 --> 01:37:17

So that we can be proactive and we

01:37:17 --> 01:37:20

are not just thinking of ourselves, learning for

01:37:20 --> 01:37:22

ourselves but we are here to learn and

01:37:22 --> 01:37:23

share with other people.

01:37:28 --> 01:37:31

Subhanakallahumma wabihamdika.

01:37:31 --> 01:37:33

Let us recite this together.

01:37:34 --> 01:37:39

Subhanakallahumma wabihamdika.

01:37:39 --> 01:37:46

Ash hadu an la ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka

01:37:46 --> 01:37:48

wa atubu ilaik.

01:37:49 --> 01:37:52

The meaning of this prayer, glory be to

01:37:52 --> 01:37:54

you O Allah, we bear witness there is

01:37:54 --> 01:37:57

none and all praises belong to you.

01:37:58 --> 01:38:00

We bear witness there is none worthy of

01:38:00 --> 01:38:01

worship except you alone.

01:38:02 --> 01:38:04

To you we ask for forgiveness, to you

01:38:04 --> 01:38:07

we repent, forgive us and accept our repentance.

01:38:08 --> 01:38:08

Ameen.
