00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			There's a rule of thumb we want to
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			all think of, and I wish if there's
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			one thing people tell me, what should I
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			take from this session? Is the following
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			point which I already mentioned last month.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			Allah
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			promised you something.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			Never will you be afraid today
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			of tomorrow
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			except that Allah will save you tomorrow.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			Never will you be afraid in this life
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			except that Allah will save you in the
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:28
			afterlife.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			And never are you careless,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			never are you safe in this life
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			except that Allah will terrify the life out
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			of you in the afterlife.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			So what's the model that you noticed here?
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			Allah will never have a human being
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			experience
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			2 moments of terrifying matters,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			And never will a human being feel comfortable
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			in this life and the afterlife.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			As in feeling like whatever the false hope
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			that is mentioned. So is that clear inshallah?
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			So how should the believers feel in this
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			life towards that punishment and towards these things?
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			How should you feel?
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			Fearful?
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Concern? I don't wanna be there.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			So that's what is being pushed in a
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			way throughout these sessions, especially when it comes
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			to the day of judgement. Sounds good inshallah?
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			Alright. Bismillah.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala allows on the
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			people are all over the place panicking.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			Allah allows the sun to descend.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			The sun descends until it becomes 1 mile
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			above the heads.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			And people start to panic. People start to
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			sweat. And there's 4 categories of sweating.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			And the amount of sweat is equivalent to
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			the amount of sins a person had.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			People will sweat up to their ankles.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			People will sweat up to their knees.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			People will sweat up to their belly button.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			It's pretty bad.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Horrible image, very embarrassing. How bad was it
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			that you're sweating that it reached up to
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			here and some sweat all the way up
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			to their mouth and they're drowning from their
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			own sweat. May Allah protect us. On that
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			day, what is it that the people are
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			desperate for? Logical.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Common sense.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			Shade.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			But there's no shade on that day because
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			I
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			earlier mentioned that the earth is flat. Remember
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			that? No rocks, no trees, so we want
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			shade. There's one source of shade, only one
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			source,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			which is an area that Allah willed
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			for people to seek shade under. And it's
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			known as under the throne of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			Wa Ta'ala. So Allah's throne may not be
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			visible at that moment. Allah knows best, but
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			there's only a group of people that can
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			seek shade under that. May Allah make you
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			of them. Say I mean.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			There's more than 7 actually, not just 7,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			but the most famous of narration says,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			7 people go under that shade. And I
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			think it's very important for us to spend
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			a few minutes to discuss
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			who are these 7. Right Insha'Allah?
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			How many of the 7 will you aim
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			to have?
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			How many?
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			All of them. We want all 7. We
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			want Abu Bakr's Sadiq mentality. What do you
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			mean Abu Bakr's Sadiq mentality?
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			The mindset of Abu Bakr's Sadiq was as
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			follows. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says, Jannah
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			has 8 gates paradise.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:18
			One gate,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			is be calls out the people who excelled
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:22
			in their,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			fasting. Oh, you excelled in your fasting, come
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			from this gate. There's another gate to those
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			who excelled in giving charity. Come over here.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			So Abu Bakr Sadiq heard this, so he
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			said, O prophet of Allah
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			is it possible for 1 guy to be
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			called from all 8?
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			Can you be like the,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			most athletic? Can you be v can can
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			you be MVP in your high school in
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			bowling and tennis and ping pong and soccer?
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			Can I get MVPs and everything?
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			So Allah said so the Prophet
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			says, Yes,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			it is possible
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			and you're one of them.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			So let's be like that, inshallah. We want
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			all 7
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			Alright. Number 1. Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			a just leader.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			And this leader can be someone from the
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			a household individual
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			who has people. He's a guardian over to
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			a teacher towards students from an imam towards
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			the congregation.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			And to know if you're a very fair
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			leader even in your group project because there's
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			a group leader in it. Whatever the case
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			may be,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			are you willing
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:35
			to establish
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:36
			justice
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:37
			even
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:39
			against yourself?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			Because people think being is not too bad.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			What if the decision you will have to
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			make is against yourself?
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			What if you eventually have to say, you
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			know what? I'm not
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			sure if I'm qualified for this. Are you
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			able to say that? Are you able to
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			say to the person who you decided to
		
00:04:56 --> 00:05:00
			do something, the one suggested another idea, they
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			were right, you were wrong. Are you willing
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			to tell them you are right and I'm
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			wrong? I'm sorry?
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			That's one of the key ways to know
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			that you're a just leader.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			Another thing, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			Allah taught us,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			great fair leaders are ones who will judge
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:16
			fairly
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			even against the people they
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			hate. And that's not easy.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			Right? We get so biased sometimes.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			Someone that we hate so much and something
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			happened, you have to judge between them like
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			you came. I'm the judge now. I'll show
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			you what you've done to me that moment
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			and that moment. But are you able to
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			be fair in that? May Allah grant us
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			the best.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			The second category,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			a young man or a young woman
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			who grew into
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			their adulthood
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			while holding tight to their faith.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			Now the question that comes,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			what's the limit of shab? Right? Like to
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			what age am I of that category?
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			What do you guys think?
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			27. Interesting.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			So if you're holding tight,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			you have up to 27. So you can
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			be of that category. That category is a
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			young man or woman who grew holding tight
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			to the religion.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			Some push it. Yeah. And maybe the one
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			who pushed it was an older person. They
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			said up to 40 years old.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			But definitely, most definitely, who is included? Teenagers.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			So if you're a teenager sitting here, a
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			young person,
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			maybe early twenties and so on, and you're
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			holding tight to the deen, congratulations.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			Allah,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			you have been blessed, you have been honored,
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			and Allah himself
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			has a category for you. Allah is something
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			to be proud of.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			Next time someone makes a joke at you
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			and says, oh my God, you're so Islamic.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			Right?
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			Islamic at 17 and 18 and so on
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			and so forth. Right?
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			Oh you who had all these desires in
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			front of you. Oh you who was told,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			let's go hang out in this place. And
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			usually all the youth go there, but you're
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			like, you know what? It's haram. It's wrong.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:03
			You'll be honored.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			Though they made fun of you, let's see
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			who's happy on that. May Allah make us
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			of them. Say, I mean.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			I want you to imagine that moment
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			the youth are being called, Oh, you young
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			men and women who grew holding tight into
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			the religion, come under the shade.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			And there's a young man or young woman
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			who does not go under the shade.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			How bad does it feel? Right?
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			And and maybe
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			Allahu ta'ala,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			maybe some of them will look at their
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			parents.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			You didn't care to teach me Islam.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			All what you cared was making sure I
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			have the
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			ability to go to the best of schools.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			You cared over that system more than.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			You were not able to balance
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			my life, mom and dad. You didn't care
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			the at the fact that I can't read
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			Quran or even know how to make wudu
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			or pray, but you just made sure you
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			get a scholarship and go to the best
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			college in the in the world. And look
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			where the real deal was, and look where
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			I went.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:01
			Maybe
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			people have the best of both worlds. May
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			Allah grant us the best.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			But keep that in mind.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			The 3rd category out of 7, a heart
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			that is attached to the masjid.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			It's like you know you're in the Masjid
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			and you hang your heart,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			and then you walk away. You cannot survive
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			for too long without coming back.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			The one who goes into the masjid, the
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			believer, the masjid is like the tank filled
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			with water and you're the fish.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			You leave the masjid, you want to go
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			back to the water. You can't wait for
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			the next salah. You're excited to go to
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			the masjid. May Allah make us of those.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			Now, some may say, and I try to
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			look it up,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			What about the sisters? Any of the brothers
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			are very much encouraged. There's a lot of
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			push. Right? How much,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			reward do
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			the congregational prayer gets? How much more?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			About about 27 times more. So I want
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			you to imagine you're being told,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			the people who work remotely Don't raise your
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			hand. Right?
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			Great stuff. Right? So let's say if you
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			work remotely, you make $10 an hour. Then
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			your boss calls you, listen, 2024,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			you want to work in the office, I
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			will multiply your hourly wage which is 10.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			I'll give you
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			$270 an hour. What will we all do?
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			Do Hijrah to the company. Insha Allah. Right?
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			So imagine this is the offer of Allah,
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			the best of examples. You wanna pray?
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			You get 10. You get this Hasina.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			But then you get multiplied by 27 times
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			more had you pray in a congregation.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, this beautiful hadith.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			He had a sister. Her name is
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			Umu Hamedin,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			a righteous sister. Why did I say righteous?
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			Because the prophet taught told us how.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			She went to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			because she knows Islam
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			really encourages the sisters to pray in the
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			most private of places in the house.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			So she came across that, then she went
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Said, you
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			Rasool Allah,
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			I really love praying behind you in the
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			masjid. You're my imam, like, I love it.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			So look what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			said. I love the way he responded. The
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			first sentence, he says,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			I know that you love praying behind me,
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			You Allah. Is this not an affirmation that
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			she's a righteous lady?
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			She loves the masjid, her heart is attached.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			But he told her,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			I'm gonna do a little bit of building.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			So bear with me. Ready? He tells her,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			your salah in the most private place in
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36
			your house
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			is better than your salah in an open
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			area in the house.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			So there's a place better than the living
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:44
			room.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			And your prayer in inside the open space
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			in your house as an example, the living
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			room or so.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			Better than praying, for example, in the backyard,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			on the porch, etcetera.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			And praying in the porch or the backyard
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			or the front yard is better than praying
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			in your local masjid.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			And praying in your local masjid is better
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			than praying in my masjid.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			You see what has happened?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			So the closer and the more private the
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			place of salah is, the more rewarding it
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			becomes.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			While I was preparing this, I had a
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			question. I'm not making a claim.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			He said, you doing that is better than
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			praying in my?
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			How rewarding is it to pray in the
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			Prophet's Masjid?
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			A 1000 times more.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			Right? So if you ever complained about our
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			27,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			think of your 1,000,
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			Then what did this righteous sister do?
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			For Amara, she requested in her house, I
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			guess she was financially comfortable or so where
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			she had the space.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			She requested
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			for a private place in her house. That's
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			my area.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			This is the area of my prayer. Do
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			not mess around with it. In the most
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			private of places, a place that kids don't
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			run through,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			not everybody just sits there. She was able
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			to do that and the hadith says authentic.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			She kept praying in that. That was her
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			area until she returned back to Allah
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			So your heart can be attached to the
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			masjid. May Allah make us of them. One
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			last thing about the masjid. I love the
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			masjid. May Allah make us all love the
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			masjid more and more. Say I mean, lovely
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			hadith. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam says,
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			No Muslim
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			who regularly attends the masjid, like you know
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			mountain. What does mountain mean? How do you
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			translate mountain or whatan?
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			How do you translate that?
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			Your homeland in a way. Right? This my
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			homeland. Your home court advantage is in the
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			Masjid, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			No one goes to the masjid frequently.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			Except that Allah feels happy,
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			looks forward for your coming to the masjid.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:05
			Look at this.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			Just like how the person who comes back
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			from a long
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			trip and the family is all waiting for
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			that person. How excited are they?
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			How much do they look forward to it?
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			They cancel their meetings. They do all this
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			to host the individual to greet them. That's
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			how Allah is every time you walk to
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			the masjid. Allahu Akbar. So let that be
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			a moment of encouragement for all of us.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			Alright. Group number what now? 4.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			4. Group number 4,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			2 people who love each other for the
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Simplify it
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			for us.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			You see someone, you hang out with someone,
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			and you love them for how respectful they
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			are to Allah.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			You love them for their love to Allah.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			And when you love someone so much, may
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			Allah make us reach that level. We we
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			love Allah so much.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			You love Allah so much
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			that anyone who loves Allah, you love them.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			Even human being wise, we do that. Right?
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:12
			You love someone
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			so much.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			Method and example.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			Forgive us for the lines.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			And may Allah grant you
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			ease. So, you know, you're walking, I don't
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			know, Kroger. You love the lions. The lions
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			May Allah guide them to Jannah and everything.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			Then you see a guy who you do
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			not know who he is.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			You don't know what city he lives in,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			but he wears a hoodie with a lion's
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			logo. He's like, hey, what's up man? This
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			Sunday. Right? And he's best friends forever because
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			you love the lions and you love him
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:47
			for loving
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			the lions. Allah is the best of examples.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			There are people, they love Allah so much.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			They see in the Masjid, I love you
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			bro.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			Why? Because you came to the Masjid. Show
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			respect to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. May Allah
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			make us of them.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			1 time, there's a great great man. His
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			name is
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			Abu He says,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			I entered the Masjid of. What Masjid is
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			that?
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			Damascus Masjid in Suriyya.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:15
			He says,
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			There was like a young man,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			very beautiful white teeth,
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			very cheerful,
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			very beautiful.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			And this man, he's surrounded by people. If
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			they ever have a dispute, they go to
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			this man.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			Whatever he says, whatever he Wow, that sounded
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			interesting.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			Whatever he says,
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			people listen and they follow. So he said,
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			I asked the people, who is this man?
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			Who was this man?
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			He's one of the top 4 Quran reciters
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			at the time of the prophet
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			Remember, the prophet told us,
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			Learn Quran from 4 people. Can you imagine
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			the prophet's testimony?
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			One of these 4 is this man,
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			So they said, this
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			is. So this man says, Abu Khomeid,
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			Khallas, tomorrow morning, I will come early right
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			or a lot earlier than the salah.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			Hopefully, I will find him coming, and I
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			will be the first one to say something
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			to him. What is it? I'll tell you.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			He says, the next day I went
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			I came early to the masjid. Guess what?
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			He found them earlier than him. He thought
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			he's coming early to receive him. He said,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			He came before me, and I saw him
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:33
			praying.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			So I waited and I waited until this
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			great man, what's his name?
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			Finished his prayers. When he finished his prayers,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			I came from the front of him. Not
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			to surprise from the back or tap on
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			the shoulder, just come from the front. He
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			saw me coming.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			Then I said,
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			Then I told him ready to what Abu
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			Hamed said? Ready?
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			I told him,
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			I love you for the sake of Allah.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			He saw someone who shows respect to Allah,
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			talks about Islam, talks about the deen, answers
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			people's questions, lifts people I'm sorry, people's hardships,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			fixes problems. I love you for the sake
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			of Allah. So Mu'azz asked him,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			Allah, like,
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			You love me for Allah's sake? Like no
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			other reason, like you have a question. Can
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			I ask you 2 questions? Right? Sheikh so
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			and so, I love you for the sake
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			of Allah, but I have 7 questions.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:27
			Right?
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			Right? I love you for the sake of
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			Allah, but, can you help me out with
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			my, resume? Right? There's nothing wrong with that.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			So wants to ask one question. You really
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			love me just for the sake of Allah?
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			Like just for the lion's jersey?
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			Not because you saw my car and I
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			might donate something for you? He says, Allah.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			He's like, for sure, yes.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			Mu'ad asked him one more time,
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			Allah. You really love me only for Allah's
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			sake? He says, yes.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			Then he grabbed Mu'ad, grabbed Abu Hamid's clothing,
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			and he's and he brought him close. So
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			Mu'ad said, come here. He says,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			I have good news for you. What's the
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			good news? I heard the Prophet
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			say
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			that Allah
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			said
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			No. Pay attention. That Allah said What did
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			Allah say?
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			I will definitely love the following 4 categories.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			See Allah How many of the 4 you
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			wanna get?
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			All 4. And that's your attitude inshallah and
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			my attitude. Anything we hear about this, I
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			want the highest level agenda. I want all
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			of this as much as I possibly can
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			within reason, of course, and as much as
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:40
			your capacity goes. Number 1, I will definitely
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:40
			love
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			Those who love one another for the sake
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			of Allah
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			May Allah make us of them. Say, I
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			mean, I'm not sure if I told you
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			guys this or not, so bear with me
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			if if you, heard it. But I I
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			felt pretty bad, here.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			It was such a bad, bad fall, SubhanAllah.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			And what I mean is I fell in
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			love with all of you guys for the
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			sake of Allah
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			Brothers, write note for your wife inshallah. Alright?
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:04
			Are you okay?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			So I love you all for the sake
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and may Allah
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			make us of that 4th category
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			And please, the QR code will be up
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			inshallah for donations. Anyhow, listen.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			Alright.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			May Allah make us of them.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			And the ones that visit one another for
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. I
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			came to visit you, check on you. How
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			are you? No dunya. Nothing. Not that it's
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			haram, brothers and sisters. I don't want you
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			to be confused with that. But there are
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			people that have such relationships with others. And
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			sometimes sometimes,
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			they actually avoid to have matters to make
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			it as pure as possible. But there's nothing
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			wrong with having matters. Last but not least,
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			when and those who spend from their money
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			for my sake alone. I love you. I
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			love you. May Allah Allah love us.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			Fantastic. Now, this is being called, oh, you
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			who love one another for the sake of
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			Allah, come under the shade. Who's standing in
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			regret?
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			People that love the wrong people,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			people that had the horrible friends, yes or
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			no.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			That horrible friend is standing right there,
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			and the guy is looking at him and
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			looking at those who made it under the
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			shade. And I could have been there, but
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			I used to make fun of these people.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			I used to call them haram police.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			Right? I call, okay, here comes the the
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			the haram sister coming. Everything is haram, haram,
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			haram. Used to mock and used to be
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			sarcastic and look where she's at and look
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:42
			where you're at.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			Now you regret not having that companionship. May
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:46
			Allah not make us of those who regret
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			that.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			That we're not present there because Allah
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			I was searching in the Quran, maybe one
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			of you can help me. No. Genuinely speaking,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			maybe one of you can help me. I
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			searched a little bit. I won't say I
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			searched a lot,
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			but I'm trying to see throughout the day
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			of judgment which is the highest of levels
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			of regret.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			So many times you hear,
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			you heard that before. Right? I wish. I
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			wish. I wish.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:11
			Sometimes you hear in the Quran, Right? Woe
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:11
			to all of us. But
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			I don't know off the top of my
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			head anything more regretful in their judgment
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			than the one who regrets hanging out with
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			the wrong crowd.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			Hajib,
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			what's the ayah?
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			Close. But what's before that?
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			You are right. But what's before that?
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			Like, brother, what are they saying? Like, you're
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			right, you're right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Zach
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:41
			will take that advice.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			So what they're saying is that, oh, oh,
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			woe to me, that I have such a
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:48
			friend. That is true. But other ayaat,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			woe to me, I did this, I did
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			that. Woe to me, I never did this
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			when I was supposed to. But when it
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			comes to friends before woe to me, they
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			do something.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			What what do they do?
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			They they bite their hand. They're so angry.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			They're so angry. They bite their whole fist.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:10
			Why? Why that level of regret unlike almost
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			anyone else?
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			Because I chose to hang out with this
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			person.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			And why are these so much in pain?
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			Because they had another option.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			Because they were invited to a better circle.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			They were told, attend this event. They were
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			told, let's go to this potluck. Righteous, good
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:29
			people.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			But they chose to hang out with the
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			others, and that is one of the most
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			regretful moments. May Allah not make us of
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			them.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38
			So if you were in that position right
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			now, no one is perfect.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			You saw what will happen. You heard what
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			will take place to avoid it from the
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			get go, inshallah. One of our teachers said
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			something very nice. Ready for this? We're gonna
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			test you. Ready Insha'Allah?
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			Think of your, 3 best friends.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			Don't say their names.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			Halas, you have an image?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:58
			Okay.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			You're like between 34. I know. I know.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			Okay. These 3 people.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			If you're told on the day of judgment,
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			you will go
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			wherever these 3 will go,
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			Are you willing to go with them?
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			Some of you like, yeah.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			Some of you like,
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			bro, I'm not sure This is the future.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			Answer the question.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			Whatever your 3 best friends will go on
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			you'll be with them.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			If your answer is not yes,
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			then it's time to adjust things. Either adjust
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			them or adjust yourself.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			Right? May Allah protects
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			a lot of unfollows tonight. I can feel
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			it from social media.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:39
			For some reason, when people unfollow someone on
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			social media, they feel as if they filed
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			for divorce. You unfollowed
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			me. How how dare you. Alright? So may
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			Allah make it easy for us. It's okay
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			if you unfollow people. That that's
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			group number?
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			Group number what? 5. 5.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			And a man whom a woman
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			has
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			invited that man to commit that which is
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			prohibited, to have an inappropriate
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			relationship.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			That and she was of status and she
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			was of great looks.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			She she's the one seducing him.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			But he tells her,
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			I fear Allah. I can't do this as
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:19
			haram. Whether they verbally said it or their
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			actions said it, They blocked that individual.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:22
			They,
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			did not accept that phone call. They tore
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			apart that letter that they received.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			They did not give them a chance to
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			proceed in their seduction. May Allah protect us.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:32
			And
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			this also applies to the women. When a
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			man comes and tries to play a game,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			may Allah protect us to commit the haram.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			And she says, no.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			I fear Allah
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			And this I pray to Allah. I pray
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			to Allah. This also applies
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			to social media stuff as well. As in
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			someone inviting you to a website.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			How many times,
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			especially us brothers, forgive me, I'm not sure
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			about the sisters, but I'm sure something equivalent,
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			a 100%,
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			We get these, spam messages of people inviting
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			you to this inappropriate website, right, on our
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			social media. It's something customized
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			to the men, and how filthy is that?
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			And I'm sure something similar to the sisters
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			of a link that is being shared to
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			go to the Haram. It's a spam. You
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			never accepted them. It came out of nowhere,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			but you say leave the group or reject
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			that. May Allah make you of that group
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			who was able to reject because
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			it cannot do not belittle how hard it
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			can be for people, especially
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			physically
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			someone trying to seduce the other individual.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			I shared this maybe back in 2018
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			of a very interesting brother,
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			We don't praise on Allah's behalf, but his
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			story was remarkable. Our sheikh tells us a
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			story. He knows the brother
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:48
			personally.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			This brother,
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			our sheikh tells us,
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			he went to New York, the sheikh, to
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			give a lecture,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			and that was his second trip.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			When he went to the 2nd trip, he
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			asked, where is that brother from Al Maghrib,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			from Morocco? Where is that brother? He loves
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			him a lot, the Sheikh. So they said,
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:06
			Sheikh,
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			that brother from Morocco,
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			he's a multimillionaire
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:11
			right now.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			He's like multimillionaire.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			Like, last session, he was a,
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			and he was like a multi negative millionaire.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			What's his story? He said, shit. His story
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			is unbelievable.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			One time in New York, as he was,
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			you know, walking, he entered into a building.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			He has like an appointment in one of
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			the high rise buildings.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			And once he got to this elevator,
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			he made sure that he stands in a
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			very respectful way and there were other men
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			standing,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			and a woman who seemed to reveal much,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			of herself, and she was very attractive, walks
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			into the elevator.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			So others perhaps were staring at her, but
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			that Muslim brother from Morocco was not. He
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			looked away, looked down.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			Eventually, all these men,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			they left the elevator, and the brother floor
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			did not come yet. So was that lady's
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			floor, did not come yet.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			And then as he wants to leave, she
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			asked him, please, I have a quick question.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			Quick question, if you don't mind me asking.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			I know it sounds awkward, it sounds outrageous,
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			but just let me ask you this question.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			From the brother of God knows his heartbeat.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			Right? Like, why did everybody to leave?
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			Right?
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			So she said, I know it sounds weird,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			but I have one question. Why did you
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			not look at me the way others gave
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			me that look? Why did you actually made
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:24
			the
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			apparently, the conscious decision to look away?
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29
			He said, because I'm a Muslim,
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			and we're not supposed to, look in the
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			sense of desire.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			Then she said, and I always wanted a
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			man like that.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			I wanted a man not to look at
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			me just out of desires and that nature.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:44
			And
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			she said, would you be able
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			for me to hang out with you? Like,
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			to be your my your boyfriend. I mean,
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			you're my boyfriend. I'm like, I'm struggling. Imagine
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:54
			him.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			Right?
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			What did he say?
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			For this one?
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			No. I still cannot.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			Why? Because there's Islam, I cannot, we have
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			to be married and so on. She's like,
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			I'm interested in Islam. Allahu Akbar for an
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			elevator ride.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			Who's that lady?
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			She owned an entire floor
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			and a corporation in that building.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			So now, where's that brother?
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			Maldives
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			Right?
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			Right? He actually got married to her, they're
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			married. I don't know, they have kids now.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			What's the situation like? So that's when they
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			told the Sheikh, Sheikh, that brother, Allah.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			Right? Now watch all of you in the
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			elevator.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			Doesn't work like that guys. Doesn't work like
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			that. You know, like, write the sincerity, say
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			I mean.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			Fantastic.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			So this is the 5th category. We'll do
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			6, 7, and then we'll take a break
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			for Isha. What's category number 6?
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			One who gives in charity.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:54
			But there's something about that charity. It's not
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			a normal charity. In what sense?
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			This group number 6 out of 7, they
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			gave a charity. 1 of their charities was
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:02
			so private,
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			was so secretive that the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			wasallam to show you how secretive it was,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			that the left hand does not know what
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			the right hand gave. Like that's our secret.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			Like, no record. Not like, well, how about
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			my wife, me and her were 1 No.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			No. This charity, no. No one knows about
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			it. No receipt left behind.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			Only Allah
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			Nothing like an Thank you, Majid Mahmood $5,000.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			I'm like,
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			okay, love that. Sometimes you're gonna encourage people,
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			nothing wrong with it. But that charity, that
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			group, may Allah make us all of them.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			Say, I mean, they gave that donation
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			by trying to make it a little bit
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			challenging number.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			Right? And and you know what's challenging for
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			you. Maybe $10 for you is challenging. Some
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			of you are thought, like make on something
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			nice. Something nice
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			so private to Allah subhanahu
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			wa ta'ala. Can you imagine some people being
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			called, oh, you who gave in charity and
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			a guy who was stingy all his life.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			I could have given something
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			and I could have been under that shade,
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			but I did not think it was worth
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:03
			it.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			People are sweating. People are devastated.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			But bear the sweat of this world
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			because you cannot bear the sweat of.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			Bear the weather, bear
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:17
			the atmosphere, bear the temperature, bear the hijab,
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			may Allah grant you
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			because you can dare the heat of this
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			world, but no one can dare the heat
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:23
			of hellfire.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			Number 7.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			You may not be someone who is a
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:29
			leader.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			You may not be someone who is a?
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:36
			What's group number 2?
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			Who was religious when they were young. Maybe
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			some of us here, like, man, I I
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42
			missed that train,
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			Like I didn't become religious until I was
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			such and such age. I respected the age.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:47
			You see that? No examples.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:48
			Right?

00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			middle of nowhere. Okay. What's number 4?

			neighborhood to love I got no one. Okay.

			achieve.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			Allah, glorifies Allah,
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			thinks how blessed they are. They think of
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			their blessings. They thought of how healthy they
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			are. They thought how
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			sinful they were and they felt bad for
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			the sins and what their blessings or

			pain of committing the haram that caused you,
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			we're not done yet.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:05
			Tears that you cried. Can we do that
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:08
			inshallah? May Allah make it easy. That you
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			reach a point that you think of such
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			you're so blessed
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			or you're so sad over something wrong that
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14
			you've done,
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			and you start to cry.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			Allah make us of them.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:24
			There's obviously a few more categories,
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			covered a big chunk
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
