			Colin said either
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			way of
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			warming up our pseudo code is
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			another
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			dear brothers and sisters
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			when Allah subhanahu wa taala created us
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			to live in this world.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			He created us for a purpose for a reason.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			Not just like that without any purpose without any reason.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			And so Allah subhanho wa Taala created us
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			to serve him
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			to worship him
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			to live our lives
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			in the way that he wants
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			to Regina will
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			not have not created the jinn nor mankind
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			except to worship me.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			However, the biggest challenge
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			that we face
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:43
			is not that we don't know about this truth from Allah subhanahu wa tada
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			it's not that we have trouble accepting it.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			It's not that we have trouble believing in it.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			So even is easy.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			Believe in the heart is easy.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			To say with your tongue is also easy.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			But the biggest challenge
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			me and you face in this life
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			is that after our
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			we are being held back
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			from living a life of a
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:30
			life of ease still
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			remain steadfast upon that path of
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			both inwardly and outwardly.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			And so one of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			He came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			He said Yasuda wa
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			polyfill Islamic Allah.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			The old messenger of Allah
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			told me something about Islam.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			One word
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			that I will have to ask anyone besides you.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			he did not give him a long winded answer.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			He did not quote for him in value from the brand.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:42
			But rather, he said, in two words,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			to be loved.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			Don't stalk him.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			Say,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			I have believed in a law
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			and then remain steadfast upon that.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Leave away from Mr. Koerner.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			I live a life of steadfastness.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			belief of obedience to Allah subhanahu wa taala
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			so email alone is not why Allah subhana wa tada created us.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			Man alone
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			is not gonna land you in jail.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33
			In la de la, buena wa who saw most of
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:42

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			wherever she will be a genuine Atletico to.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			The angels descend upon such people
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			at the time of death,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			saying to them,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			Do not fear nor grief.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:19
			Do not fear as we take away your soul. Do not fear about where you're going to.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			nor grieve over what you are leaving behind of your family your children
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			do not fear nor grieve.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			be given the glad tidings of
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			which you were promised.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:44
			And then the other is in the Roku, Roku Nova to Mr.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			poly de de Botton miana loon,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			those who say we believe and then
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			they follow up that belief within karma
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:13
			there shall be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. They are the companions of gentlemen,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			to abide in zero forever.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			Does that be materno Yama loon, a reward
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			for what they used to do.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:34
			And so my dear brothers and sisters, a man is one thing, but to follow up that a man
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:42
			to follow up, that a man with action, with steadfastness upon the Straight Path of Allah,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:48
			until the day you meet him, this is a completely different thing.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			And so, if you want
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			any friend
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			or a co worker, or any law,

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			But your brothers and sisters
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			if you wanted to travel somewhere
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			you want to get in your car
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			and you wanted to travel somewhere.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			Let's say it's very far off.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			You're gonna look
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			for the shortest path that leads
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			you're going to look
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			for the straightest path to your destination. You're going to
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Look for the most direct your destination.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			So once you start reading that path,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			you wouldn't go right or left.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			You were a stray off of that path.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			But rather you stick to it and only take a break when you need it.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			Likewise,
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			the path to
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			the path.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			Allah subhanahu wa tada needed to be a straight path.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:46
			Not a path that's worse, going right or left, but rather a straight path. Why?
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			Because this path leads to our destination.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			Because the one who treads this path
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			he is focused on what is in front of him.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			He is focused on his desk.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			But someone else
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			who doesn't want to take that street
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			will go right and left.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			He'll swerve off
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			deviate from the straight path.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			And then in front of him he doesn't have
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			he doesn't have the destination of Jenna.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			He wants to take a break. He finds it difficult to boring.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			And yes.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:54
			This is the nature of the st. Pat's of Allah subhanahu wa Tada. This is why so many people they
complain that to live a life of religiosity.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			It's boring,
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			difficult.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:04
			Why? Because they're knifes has its desire.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:15
			Their enough's wants it cabri there are enough or cdva left and right, satisfying its pleasure,
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			which it does not find upon that string.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:26
			That is leading to a loss of Hannah, who were to Hannah. And that is leading agenda.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:32
			And so this is why many people, they start off on the straight path.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			But then after a while you find
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			that they start to slow down.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			Some of them have burnouts.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			Some of them go backwards.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			Some of them go rain. Some of them go left.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			But just like in any race,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			you have the winners and you have the loser.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			What is the description of the winner?
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			Those who start off diligently.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:14
			And they continue diligently until
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			they reach the finish line.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			Just like in any race.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			The winners are those who remain steadfast.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:34
			Yes, it's difficult. Yes, there will be barriers. Yes, there will be hardship.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40
			I'm not gonna get distracted from my end goal.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			But the losers who are they?
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			They are those
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:51
			who want to give in to the pressure. They are those
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			who want to give in to their enough.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:00
			And it's desire. It's desire for rest.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			Wanting to deviate, right and left.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:13
			And so my dear brothers and sisters, there are many barriers that come in between us
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			and continuing diligently
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			upon a strict path of a loss of heritage.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			Among these barriers
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:35
			is that many of us we think that to live a life of obedience to Allah to live a life of his karma.
It means
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			that I'm going to miss out
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			on the enjoyments of
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			the comfort of the dunya.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			Among the barriers, is
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			not being able to picture ourselves
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			as being religious Muslims, yes. Many of us we can't imagine ourselves
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			as being religious Muslim,
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			this is from shavon
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:12
			whispers this into our minds into our hearts.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:17
			Also, among the barriers is a lack of your team.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:24
			Some of us are not convinced, is this really the path leading to Jenna?
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			Is this really gonna land me
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			in Jenna.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			Among the barriers is a lack of
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			luck
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			of determination.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			We started off on the path.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			But then we start to lose steam.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			And we start to lose determination to continue.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			We become distracted
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			by shaitan by the dounia.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			And we lose that determination to continue.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			Among the barriers is peer pressure,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			family pressure,
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:12
			societal pressure, especially in this society in which we live in
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:20
			live a life of Mr. Karma means that you're going to have to stand up,
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:26
			it means that you're going to have to live as a stranger.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:31
			And you're going to have to look, you're going to have to be seen stranger.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:41
			These are some of the barriers that come in between us and choosing to tread that path.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
			And so, there is one thing
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			the most important thing that will help us
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			to tread that string path of velocity.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			And that is
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			by keeping ourselves focused
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			by keeping ourselves focused on our destination.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:17
			Keep it in front of your eyes, every single moment of your life.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			Keep in front of your eyes the reality
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			any movement
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			is life of yours can come to an end.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			It's either agenda or the hellfire.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			No third path
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			at any moment
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:47
			it could come to an end. The Angel of Death
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			does not come
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:51
			with an appointment.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			rather he comes with
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			The leaf of an ester
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			is what Allah subhanho wa Taala wants us to tread
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			it is the life that Allah subhanahu wa tada created us for.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			Yes, we're not perfect human beings.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:20
			And we will have shortcomings. We will commit mistakes along the path.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			But don't let yourself
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			swerve off the path permanently.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			Come back to the springtime
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			sooner rather than later.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			And remember
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

00:18:48 --> 00:18:53
			unfortunately many Muslims out there today. They have a concept of religiosity.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			They think that to be religious
		
00:18:59 --> 00:18:59
			is
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			by applying certain aspects of Islam

			taking it easy
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
