Irshaad Sedick – Surah Yusuf 4

			salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		

			Kill yourself,
		

			kill yourself or costume out of your land, then your father's attention will be focused only on you.
		

			This is what the brothers said to one another is called when they say to one another, firstly, as we
said last night, that our Father loves us to finish brother more than he loves us. And then they
resolve to Aqua to Lucifer. Allahu Allah, Yehuda. Camacho, Avi, que Yusuf accosting out of this
land, then your father's attention will be solely focused on you, whatever pulumi Empire, the common
soil, if he, then after that, then you can become solid people, you can become righteous people,
this is what we can learn so much from because now we get a glimpse of what takes place in the minds
of a human being not them, it's very easy to look at a situation such as this, whether it be on TV
		

			with it be through reports, such as in the Quran, or in the sooner and make a judgment and ethical
judgment on what we on what we observe. But without making that same judgment, on that very same
behavior when it happens with inside of us. And all of us, without a shadow of a doubt, all of us
experience moments in our lives, where we think you know what, I'm just gonna do this wrong thing
that I know is wrong anyways, and insha Allah, you know, I'm gonna make Muslim and Mcdo and
everything's gonna be fine, I'm gonna make hydrogen and everything's going to be fine, I'm going to
wait for Ramadan to come about and everything is going to be fine. And this would be our huge
		

			destruction. Because what we are actually doing then is to intend a tober, before we've actually
intended before we've actually committed the sin. And that's not the job at all. Because it doesn't
fulfill the conditions of veto. That's like the person who says, you know, your God, forgive me for
it, I'm about to do. Now, you're not truly asking for forgiveness, because you didn't even do this
sin yet. But you're going to do it anyways, despite the fact that you already conscious about your
Creator. So this type of attitude we notice, especially from among the youth who say things like,
you know, I'm going to do whatever I want and have a good time, for as long as my youth is still
		

			with me. And then when I turn 40, I'm going to go on Hajj, I'm going to turn our life around, and
then I'm going to be a pious person. But while I'm still young, I'm going to I'm going to enjoy
life, you know, and then we make up all sorts of excuses in order to accomplish that. But this is
going to lead our own destruction for a number of reasons. Number one, because that is not a truth
over.
		

			Because if you came to perpetrate that act anyways, then you don't really regret that act
afterwards, because you really intended to make Toba afterwards. That is not a true Toba. Number
two, what if Allah Subhana Allah takes you away before that? Or what if something that you do before
that moment, is enough to tip the scales and you become from among those who are Suman Bookman on
uniform layer, Jerome, deaf, dumb and blind, and they cannot return back to the path. That is
something that we really need to think about. And then thirdly, what if you're trained in doing
wrong gets a hold of you to such a degree that you become addicted to that sin. And no matter how
		

			much you intend to come out of it, you cannot because you know, no other way of life besides that
sinful way. But nonetheless, we look and observe at what is happening here. We can also see that
they were conscious of a loss of 100 Dinah evil people, people who are not conscious of Allah at
all, who hate Allah who disbelieve in Allah will not think about the consequences to the point where
they would say, you know, what it's do what we need to do, and then afterwards become righteous,
because evil people are not concerned with being righteous at all. They just need to do whatever
they want. And this is even more dangerous, because now we can see that none of us no matter how
		

			righteous we think we are, none of us are protected from doing similar acts such as this, because if
we didn't leave these are good people. But the internal quality of jealousy as you highlighted last
night, drove them to do something very bad. This is the plan as it comes out. This shows us that it
is not enough to just focus on external activity bad I'm going to make my solar minima or animal
forest every now and then etc. but never to look within the heart and see what are the qualities
that I walk around with. And my folders keep in my folder, the arrogance that I think I'm better
than other people and my folders pride and my folder vanity and my folder with anger and my folders
		

			jealousy and hatred towards other people because those qualities if they are unchecked if they are
left unchecked, and we just think we can carry on because we are making smaller and we are in in
core and then we
		

			might just find that those qualities lead to our destruction and eliminate all of our activity
better. And other proof of this is the fact that the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam said that
those qualities are like he said, he said, for example, jealousy eats up good deeds like fire eats
up firewood. That's the danger that we are lurking with if we do not look into our hearts and into
our lives and see what are my internal weaknesses, and Ramadan is one of the best times to focus on
one's internal weaknesses. Why? Because an entire system has been put in place already. Any other
time of the year if you want to work on your weaknesses, you're dealing with yourself, you're
		

			dealing with your environment, and you're dealing with shaytaan your nefs environment and we'll
straight on if you work at it in Ramadan shaitaan has been taken care of your environment has
changed because it's Ramadan, everything around you tends to be a bit more pious than usual because
it's Ramadan and your neffs is also being assisted because of the first thing, the first thing
supposed to weaken your nerves, right. So let us take this as an opportunity to see the wrong but at
the same time, think about our own wrongs and make to our Deluxe behind the idea that our internal
evils can be remedied during this month of Ramadan so that we can keep it in check insha Allah and
		

			you don't need to just run wild with us. Then to take us further color car you know minimum
llactapata the use of the eldest one among them is most of us have stated say do not kill him. Don't
kill him while poofy via but if you'd rather throw him into the bottom of a wall throwing down a
deep well you're about to say Yarra, so then some travel is passing by, we would naturally want to
go in collect some water from the well, they wouldn't seem they they would collect him they would
take him so then at least we are rid of him so that we can have our father to ourselves, but at the
same time we don't drop to such a low act as mud. In quantum Fairyland, he said, if you're really
		

			going to do something, then rather do this, but don't kill him. So we get what hacer did to them.
They were about to do this heinous crime, and even then, they will do something that is just as as
evil but not to the extent of murder. And this is exactly what they did. Then they went to the
Father Kolya abana Malika men Anna usofa. Were in Laguna Seca, they became experts at lying because
now the novice is driving them you know the knifes is such that after you give in to a certain point
when you know you can you can resist your naps, you can resist your naps. The person for example is
tempted to do that Joe is tempted to do harm always tempted to do Xena something really bad. He can
		

			resist and resist and resist the moment he crosses that boundary of now the act is now being done.
Then it's as though that nafs just takes on a completely different formula mutated and now grabs him
completely. Now all resistance Gamble's because now you've opened up their doors, that pathways of
evil and the possibilities are endless. So now, other than the fact that they've just decided on
this heinous crime, now they become, they become almost like they, they they they don't have a
choice except to do the evil. Now they can just speak to the father or the Father, why don't you
trust us? You know, why don't you trust that we are sons? And we would we would really be honorable
		

			to you and look off the use of inala will analyse who we are good advises to him. We have his best
interests at heart Subhan Allah, Allah.
		

			Allah, Allah Hafiz, don't send him with us tomorrow so that he may eat well and play with us and we
will be his guardians. Don't worry, father. This is the type of disposition they have now. stood
down to him. And then tomorrow night we'll find out what exactly is going to take place after the
move away with him in Charlotte, North Carolina and then hamdulillah
