00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			Ready
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:52
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah. While early he was so happy he ultramarine
bad Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			I just wanted to
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:03
			take a few minutes, maybe no more than five minutes in sha Allah for a quick reminder
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:11
			now that most of us are in isolation, staying at home,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			we are not going out to work, we're not going to go
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			to school, we're not going out.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			For even, you know, entertainment and
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:41
			you know, to enjoy ourselves. We're restricted to our houses. There's a hadith that I just wanted to
remind all of us about a hadith that I'm sure many of us have heard of. Before.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:50
			This Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, evil ternium hums and kubla humps
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			take advantage of five before five.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:06
			Take advantage of five things before another five come and disrupt those things. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Take advantage of
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			your Shebaa your youthful days before
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:25
			your old age. So take advantage of this time when you're young.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			Because it's not going to last forever.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			You're going to age, you're going to become old.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			And those youthful days
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			are going to go away.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:46
			Why specifically did the process on tape tell us to take advantage of these days when we're young.
Because when you're young, you have energy.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:57
			When you're at the prime of your youth, you have full energy to do whatever you want. So spend it
wisely.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:06
			Spend it wisely for your dunya and your IRA. Because the time will come when you'll get old. Ask any
old person and he'll tell you
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:16
			that he wishes that he had taken advantage of those days when he was younger. The second he said
sort of long it was it
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			was too hard to come kubla socomec.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			Take advantage of your health
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			before your sickness.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			And this is a profound piece of advice
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			that is very, very
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:47
			suitable and resounding to us in the world in which we are in today. With the spread of this virus.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			There are people who are in hospital beds today
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			who never expected that this would happen to them.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			Take advantage of your days today when you're healthy.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			Before that day comes when your health is taken away from you.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			And you don't know maybe you could be that person tomorrow.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:19
			So you have free time now you have a healthy body take advantage of it.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			Because that's not going to last forever.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			The third thing the professor Salim said,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			your wealth before your poverty.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:44
			Today you have money, you're financially well off tomorrow, you can be in poverty. And again,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			again, this is very
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:58
			This is a reminder that we can see before our very eyes. Many people today because of the current
crisis are being laid off.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:21
			They had good jobs. Today, they no longer have those jobs. Take advantage of this time that you have
in which you are well off. Use your money wisely, use it for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala
spend it on what is obligatory for you to spend it on.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			And don't waste it.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			The fourth thing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			Well, for all published,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:45
			again, very, very, a piece of advice that is very, very suitable for our times. Take advantage of
your free time before your busy time.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			Like I said, many of us are sitting at home,
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			you have a lot of free time on our on our hands out right now.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:02
			time that we're not going to have in the near future, when we go back to our daily routines.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:13
			This is time that we have to use wisely. If we don't spend this time wisely now and we wasted, then
that's it, it's not going to come back.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			The Muslim is wise with his time.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			Time is something we should value.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			And so ask yourself, what have you been doing all these days sitting at home?
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			Instead of busying yourself on social media and following the news,
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			why not spend it, opening the Quran
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:48
			reading a few pages, memorizing something new, memorizing a new surah opening a book trying to
educate yourself about Islam,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			listening to a lecture
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			and so on and so forth. In the editor of Allah, the prophet SAW, Selim said
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			that in times of crisis in times of Fitton
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			when there's a lot of people dying,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:18
			and there's a lot of killing in these times, during the data of busy this free time that you have
now, in the era of turning to Allah subhanahu wa tada in different kinds of activity that
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:27
			finally the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Well, hey, I took a problematic take advantage
of your life before your death.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:28
			Again
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			1000s of people have died
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			from this pandemic.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			None of them imagined
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			that they would see their death so soon.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:52
			Some are lying under hospital beds not knowing if they are next, to move on to the next world.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			And so today you are alive.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			Tomorrow, you may not be
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			yes, we shouldn't
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			cause fear and panic in the people. And we should say one thing's for sure.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			And that is that you will die.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:19
			And your death is not something known. It could happen today. It could happen tomorrow. It could
happen through this virus, it could happen through any other way.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:29
			But as long as you are alive, then take advantage of this life that Allah has given to you. Because
it's only one life. And once it's over, that's it.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			Your Book of Records will be closed and sealed.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			And so we ask Allah Subhana Houma to Allah
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:44
			to help us all to take advantage of this time that we have wisely.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:09:03
			We ask Allah subhanahu wa tada to protect each and every single one of us and our loved ones, and to
protect the Muslims wherever they may be. And we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us from among
his obedient servants, who
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			take benefit
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			and derive lessons from
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:30
			crisis like the one we're facing today. We ask Allah subhana wa tada to lift this calamity that has
befallen us in Who will you Delhi, Kolkata, Marathi. Also Lola was Salatu was Salam ala nabina
Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa seldom at the Sleeman kathira
