00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			When A Person Eats All The Time, He
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			Becomes Known As Someone Who Eats.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			And When A Person Drinks Alcohol All The
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			Time, He Becomes Known As A Drunkard.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			But Generally In The Sunnah And In The
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			Quran, We Find That Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			Does Not Identify People By Their Mistakes.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			But When It Comes To Lying And Being
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:37
			Honest, Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal Through Rasulullah
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam, Meaning In The Sunnah, From
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			The Hadith Of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam, Tells
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			Us That A Man Lies And He Lied
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			And He Continues To Lie Until He Is
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			Known Inda Allahi Kaddaba, Until He Is Known
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			As A Liar With Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:57
			Jalal.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			As For Those Traits Which Are Good, Then
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala, He Mentions Them And
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			He Identifies People By Their Good Traits.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			This Means That Lying Has A Very Bad
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			Place With Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal, A
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			Very Dishonorable Mention With Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			Jalal.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			In The Hadith That We Are Speaking About,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam Says, It Is Incumbent
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			And Necessary Upon You To Speak The Truth,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:49
			For Indeed Truthfulness Leads To Righteousness, And
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			Indeed Righteousness Leads To Jannah,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:01
			And
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:08
			A Man Continues To Tell The Truth And
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			He Continues To Seek Out The Truth And
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			Speak The Truth Until He Is Known With
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			Allah As A Truthful Person, Until He Is
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			Known With Allah As A Truthful Person.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			When We Began, We Spoke About How A
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			Person Becomes Known Amongst The People, As One
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			Who Eats, As One Who Drinks, As One
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			Who Sins, Etc.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			But This Is Not With The People, This
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			Is With Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal, With
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			So He Becomes Known With Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			'Ala As One Who Speaks The Truth.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			Hence We See That Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu Wasalam
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:56
			Was Known As A Truthful Person.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			He Was Known As One Who Was Truthful
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			With Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal, Truthful With
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			Himself And Truthful With His People As Well.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says, وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:18
			مِنْ رَحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدِقٍ عَلِيًّا And
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			We Granted Them From Us, We Granted Them
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:28
			وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِنَا From Our Mercy And
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			We Made For Them A Righteous Truthful Mention,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			A Righteous Truthful Tongue.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:40
			So Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal Mentioned This
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			About Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu Wasalam.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			So When We Speak The Truth And We
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			Say That Which Is Correct And We Utter
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			It Despite The Circumstances Then We Get A
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			Badge Of Honor With Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			Jalal And We Are Known As Those Who
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			Are Truthful And The Truth Is Of Utmost
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:05
			Importance Because When We Tell The Truth Then
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			We Are Able To Build A Society That
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			Is Based On Sincerity Because A Person One
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			Is Truthful With Himself When A Person Lies
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			To Himself About Himself So He Tells Himself
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			That You Know What I Am Great And
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			I Am Better Because Of Such And Such
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			And He Convinces Himself Of This Then He
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			Will Do Anything To Gain One On The
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			Next Man To Gain A Level On The
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			Next Man Why Because He Believes He Deserves
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			It He Believes He Is Better Than Others
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			So Hence You Find A Person Goes Out
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			There And He Deceives And He Cheats And
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			He Lies So That He Can Gain A
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			Bit Of Money Gain A Bit Of Honor
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			Gain A Bit Of Wealth So He Lies
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			And He Deceives And He Cheats And He
		
00:04:55 --> 00:05:02
			Continues To Do So Until He Is Written
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			With Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala As A Liar
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			But This Lie Ultimately Will Backfire On Him.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			It Will Backfire On Him And It Will
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			Actually Affect Him And None But Him Because
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			If You Look At The Story Of Yusuf
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			Alayhi Salatu Wasalam Allah Rabbul Izzati Wal Jalal
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			Says That They Went Out With Yusuf And
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			Then They Wanted To Lie To Their Father.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:32
			So They Sought False Evidence ...
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:51
			So They Came To Yaqub Alayhi Salatu Wasalam
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			With A * Shirt, A Shirt Full Of
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			Blood And Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Describes It
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			As False Blood.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			So They Came With A Blood That Would
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			Seem To Be The Blood Of Yusuf Alayhi
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			Salatu Wasalam On His Shirt.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			If We Look At The Beginning Of Their
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			Treachery Then They Came With This Shirt And
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			They Chose To Do It Because They Wanted
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			To Gain The Affection Of Their Father.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			They Thought They Were Better Than Yusuf.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			So They Said, You Know What?
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			Let'S Lie To Our Father And Say That
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			He Died.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			A Wolf Ate Him.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			So He'S Gone.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			So They Brought That Shirt As A False
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			Evidence With Their Father.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			But At The End Of The Story What
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:43
			Happens?
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			What Did They Want?
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			The Brothers Of Yusuf Alayhi Salatu Wasalam Wanted
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			To Gain Affection With Yaqub Alayhi Salatu Wasalam
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			And Ultimately It Led To The Direct Opposite
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			Which Was That This Distance Them From Yaqub
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			Alayhi Salatu Wasalam.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			At The End Of The Story, It Is
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:09
			Yusuf Alayhi Salatu Wasalam Who Emerges As The
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			Victim From This Situation.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			In Fact, As Soon As They Present This
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			Shirt To Yaqub Alayhi Salatu Wasalam, He Says
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:28
			To Them, But It Is Your Own
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			Selves That Made Up This Issue, This Matter.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			He Knew Immediately They Are Lying.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			So This Distance Them Immediately From Their Father.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			It Had The Immediate Opposite Reaction To What
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			They Desired.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			When You Lie Not Only To Yourself But
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			To Others As Well Or About Others As
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			Well, It Will Have The Opposite Effect.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			It Will Affect None But You.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			It Will Affect None But You.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			Not Only Will You Become A Liar With
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			Imagine Within The Heavens, This Person Is A
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			Liar.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			His Mention Is Made.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			He Is Mentioned As A Liar, Allahu Akbar,
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:21
			Until He Is Seen As A Liar With
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:26
			And Then On Earth As Well, People Begin
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			To Say That Brother Always Has Stories.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			He'S Always Lying.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			He'S A Liar.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			He'S Always Telling Tales About Other People.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			So He Becomes Known Amongst The People As
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			A Liar As Well.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			And This Is In Complete Contrast With How
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala, He Speaks About A
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			Person That He Loves.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			When Allah Loves A Servant, He Calls Out
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			To Jibreel.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			Indeed Allah Loves So And So, So Love
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			Him, O Jibreel.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:09
			So Jibreel Then Calls Out Amongst The Inhabitants
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			Of The Heavens.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			Indeed Allah Loves So And So, So Love
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:18
			Him.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:25
			Then Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Places Acceptance For
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			That Person On Earth.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			He Places Acceptance For That Person On Earth.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Announces This In
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			The Heavens.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			The People, The Inhabitants, The Angels Of The
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			Heavens Begin To Love That Person And Then
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			The People Of Earth Love Him As Well
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			For The Right Reasons.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			So This Person Becomes Beloved To Allah Subhanahu
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			Wa'Ta'Ala And Beloved To The People.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			As For The Liar, When He'S Written With
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala As A Liar, Then
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			He Becomes Known As A Liar With Allah
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			And He Becomes Known As A Liar With
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			The People And This Is A Dishonorable Mention.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			Nobody Wants To Be Known As A Liar.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			Nobody Wants To Be Known As A Liar.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			You See Even In Business, When We Engage
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			In Business, It Is Of Utmost Importance That
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			We Are Honest And Transparent.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			So The Buyer And Seller Should Be Honest
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			And Transparent With Each Other.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:33
			البيعان بالخيار ما لم يتفرقا The Buyer And
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			Seller Are At A Choice.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			They Have A Choice As To Whether They
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			Want To Continue Or They Want To Exit
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			So Long As They Are Together And They
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			Have Not Parted Ways.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:50
			فإن صدقا If They Are Truthful وبيّنا And
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:56
			They Are Transparent In That Transaction بُرُوكَ لَهُمَا
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			فِي بَيْعِهِمَا They Will Be Granted Barakah In
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			That Transaction Of Theirs.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			They Will Be Granted Barakah In That Transaction
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:06
			Of Theirs.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			You Know, You Are Selling A Car, A
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09
			Simple Example.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			You Are Selling A Car.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			You Know Something Is Wrong Within The Car.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			There Is A Default.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			There Is A Fault.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			So What Did You Do?
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			You Put Some Oil Over That Part.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			It Was Going Clack Clack Clack Clack, Right?
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			As You Turned It, Made A Noise.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			You Put Some Oil Over The Part.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			It Stopped Making The Noise.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			And You Showed It To The Person Whom
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			You Are Selling The Car To In Order
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			To Deceive Him So That He Doesn'T Know.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:41
			فَإِن كَذَبَا وَكَتَمَا So If They Lie And
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			They Conceal, You Have Concealed Something.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:50
			مُحْيَقَتْ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا The Barakah Is Taken Away
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:50
			From Them.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			Meaning It Was Present When They Began.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			And Then It Is Removed And Snatched Away
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			From That Team.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			Why?
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			Because They Lied To Each Other.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			Today You Have Those Who Are Engaged.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:07
			And Sometimes I Get This From Community That
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			You Are Speaking About These Actions Because So
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			And So Does It.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			And I Will Tell You That Yes, I
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			Am Speaking About It Not Because Of Him
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			Alone But Because It Has Become A Norm
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			In Society.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			So If We Cannot Address These Issues From
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26
			The Pulpit, When Shall We Change?
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			When Will We Change?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			How Can We Implement That Change In Our
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			Life?
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			So When There Was Something Wrong With Someone
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			Specific, What Did Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Do?
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			Did He Stand Up And Expose The Person
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			Or Did He Stand Up And Say مَا
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:46
			بَارُوا أَقْوَالُ What Is Wrong With The People?
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			They Do Such And Such.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			So He Didn'T Expose The Person But He
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			Dealt With The Matter As Well.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:57
			Today We Have Those Selling Property Of Others.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			You Get A Percentage To Sell Their Property.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			And Not Only Am I Talking About Real
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			Estate But Cars And Goods And Any Other
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:07
			Property.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			You Get A Percentage For That Property.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			And Then What You Do Is Without Telling
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			The Person That You Are Buying From, That
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			You Are Representing.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			Your Percentage Is 5% For Example.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			You Don'T Tell Him That You Are Getting
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			A Percentage From The Other Side As Well.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			And You Go And Receive A Percentage.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			So Now You Don'T Represent The Buyer Only.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			You Don'T Represent The Seller Only, You Represent
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			The Buyer As Well.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			So You Have Got A Conflict Of Interest.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			And Then There Are People Who Are Trying
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:45
			To Deceive Allah Rabbul Izzati Wa Jalal And
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			Sell To A Friend Of Theirs For Less
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			Price And Get Him To Offer A Less
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:56
			Price Knowing That He Has Another Person Offering
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			Much More.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			And Then He Sells To The Friend And
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			He Says, You Know What?
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			We Will Sell It On To That Person.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			The Barakah Of That Transaction Is Removed.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			It Is Snatched Away From That Transaction.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			In Another Hadith, Qudsi, Which Is From Allah
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			Rabbul Izzati Wa Jalal.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:27
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says I Am The
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:33
			Third Of Two Partners So Long As The
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			One Does Not Deceive The Other.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:43
			When He Deceives Him, I Leave Those People.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			Meaning The Help Of Allah Rabbul Izzati Wa
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			Jalal Is With You.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			The Barakah Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Is
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			With You.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala'S Assistance Is With You
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			So Long As You Are Honest With Each
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			Other.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			When One Of You Deceives The Other, Allah
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			Leads You To Yourself.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			Allah Leads You To Yourself.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			And This Is What People Are Doing Today.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:11
			Why?
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:15
			Because We Are After Wealth So Much That
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			We Have Forgotten The Real Wealth.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			Which Is The Wealth Of The Akhirah.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			The Real Honor, Which Is The Honor Of
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:22
			The Akhirah.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			We Have Forgotten That We Will Be Six
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			Feet Down One Day And Nevermind One Day.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			And You See The Burial Of A Person
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			Every Day.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			Every Day.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			In Fact Today, I Believe We Received A
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			Message.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:44
			...
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			And You See The Burial Of That Person.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			You Go To The Graveyard When The Skin
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:56
			Being Placed Down And Forget Within Minutes.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			Sometimes As We Are Leaving The Graveyard, May
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			Allah Forgive Us.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			May Allah Forgive Us.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			We Get On To A Phone Call And
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			We Are Busy Deceiving Another Person, Busy Cheating
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:12
			Another Person, Busy Lying About Another, Destroying The
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			Reputation Of Another.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:18
			You Have Just Witnessed Someone Go Six Feet
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			Down Knowing That I Am Going There.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			And Now You Are Deceiving Someone.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:24
			How?
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			How Can A Believer Do This?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			Someone Who Knows They Are Going To Meet
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:33
			Allah, My Dear Brothers And Sisters.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			I Leave You With Hope.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			I Leave You With Hope.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			None Of Us Are Innocent.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			All Of Us Have Mistakes That We Have
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:40
			Made.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:44
			Sometimes The Evil Side Of Us Gets The
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			Better Of Us.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			But What We Need To Do Is Clear
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			Our Record With Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			It Is Never Too Late.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:57
			So Long As You Are Breathing And You
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			Are Not In Dhul-Ghara.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:03
			The Sword Hasn'T Come To Your Throat And
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			Escaping Your Body.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			Dhul-Ghara, That'S Why It'S Called Dhul-Ghara.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			It'S Not Leaving Your Throat.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			So Long As That Has Not Happened, You
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			Have A Chance.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:35
			Indeed, Tawbah Is For Those Who Do Bad
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			Deeds With Ignorance.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			They Are Heedless.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			They Become Heedless Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:48
			Then They Seek Forgiveness Close To Having Committed
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			That Sin.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			Meaning As Soon As Possible.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:55
			The Closer You Are To Seeking Forgiveness From
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:59
			Allah Is What Determines How Close You Are
		
00:17:59 --> 00:17:59
			To Allah.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			You Seek Forgiveness Immediately After.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			It Means You Are Actually Pretty Close To
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Because You Recognized I
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			'Ve Done Something Wrong.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			I'Ve Done Something Wrong And With The
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			People As Well.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			You Stole The Land Of Others.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			You Stole The Motor Vehicles Of Others.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			You Stole The Houses Of Others.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			You Cheated Them.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			You Deceived Them.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			You Attained It By Corrupt Means.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			And I Say This Because It Is Becoming
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			Rampant In Society.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			I'M Not Mincing My Words.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42
			I'M Being Honest About The Happenings Of Community
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			Today.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			We Need To Be Honest With Ourselves And
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:51
			Make Reparations Before A Day Comes When The
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			Currency Will No Longer Be The Dollar And
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:54
			The Pound.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			It Will No Longer Be Gold And Silver.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			It Will Be Your Good And Bad Deeds.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
			So Make Reparations Between You And The People
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:08
			And Make Reparations Between You And Allah So
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			That When You Meet Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala,
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			Your Record Is Clean.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			Your Record Is Clean.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:17
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Forgive Us And
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:20
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Strengthen Us And
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Make Me Sincere
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			In This Word Of Mine And May Allah
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Make Us All Sincere In
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:32
			Our Intentions Towards Others Only By Dealing With
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			These Issues Will We Be Able To Make
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			Progress.
