00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Now I'll be someone to admit, I get
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:06
			so confused between Aad, Thamud, Salih and Hud.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			So we're gonna resolve everything today inshallah, jahazeen,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			ready inshallah?
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			So let's explain.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			Prophet Musa alayhi salam was sent to who?
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			Prophet Musa was sent to who?
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18
			Go ahead.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			Try.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			Close, close.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			Bani Israel.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			So Prophet Musa was sent to Bani Israel.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			Fantastic.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			What about Isa ibn Maryam?
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			Who was he sent to?
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			Go ahead.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			Also Bani Israel, right?
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			All right.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			Now, last one before I go to the
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			conclusion.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			Who was Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sent
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			to?
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			Us?
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			Okay, dear boy.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			Okay, may Allah bless you.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Who was Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sent
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			to?
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			Everyone.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Rahmatan lil'alameen.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was not sent
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			to a group of people or anything.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			He was sent to all beings, ancient beings.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			Not just us human beings, also the jinn.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			Now the people of Thamud, Hud, Salih, Aad.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			This is how we resolve it inshallah.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			The ones that rhyme are not actually together.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			So out of the four, Salih, Thamud, Aad,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			Hud.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			Which two rhyme?
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			Go ahead.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			Masha'Allah alayka.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			Allahumma barik.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			Thamud and Hud, they rhyme.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			So, you know, they're not together.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			Khalas?
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			So this life was not meant to be
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			easy.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			All right.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			So Hud was not sent to Thamud, though
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			they rhyme.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			Hud was sent to Aad, and Salih was
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			sent to Thamud.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			Fantastic.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			Now the people of Salih, where did they
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			live?
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			There's a whole chapter named after the location
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			of where they lived.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			It's chapter 15.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			Surat, excellent, Al-Hijr.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			May Allah grant you Jannah.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			Surat Al-Hijr.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			Now, many people wonder why is Prophet Salih
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			and Prophet Hud not really mentioned in many
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			biblical resources, correct?
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			So the ones that know a little bit
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			of the Bible, you see about Zakariyya, you
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			see about Yaqub, you see about Yusuf, Joseph.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			But why there's no Hud and there's no
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Salih?
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			There's no Aad.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			There's no Thamud.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			Ibn Kathir, rahimahu Allah, he says they were
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			known to Bani Israel.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			Oof.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			They were known to the people of the
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			book.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			Do we have evidence?
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			Yes, he gives you evidence from surah 14,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			which is named after Prophet Ibrahim.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			This one rhymes too bad.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			So surah 14 is surah Ibrahim.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			Allah says in the Quran, أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ مُوسَىٰ سَدْتُ إِن تَكْفُرُوا
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا إِذْ يُوْبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلٌ
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			And all people on earth want to disbelieve
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			in Allah, فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ They know
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			Allah doesn't need you.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Well, Allah is praiseworthy, whether you praise Him
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			or dispraise Him.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:53
			طيب, where's the ayah?
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:54
			The next one.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ يَا جَمَعَة بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلٍ O children
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			of Israel, did you not hear the stories
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			of those who came before you?
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:08
			قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودٍ So they clearly knew
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			the stories.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			Why were they not documented?
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			Many reasons.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			One of them, some of the ulema said,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			because they were two of the very few
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			prophets that were Arab.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:25
			Right?
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			They were Arab.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			And who were the four prophets the ulema
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:29
			say were Arab?
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:35
			Hud, Salih, Shu'aib, and Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			And Allah knows best why other reasons.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			Another thing you get confused, a book that
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			is claimed to be coming from Allah, right?
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			Where is the speech about hellfire?
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			كتاب سماوي ما فيه عقاب A book sent
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			from God, there's no details about hellfire and
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			the punishment and so on and so forth.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			So that's something to appreciate the Quran that
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			we have and may Allah make us all
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			people of the Quran.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:58
			Say ameen.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			All right, we move forward.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			Now the people of Thamud, I'm going to
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			do this so I can see where I
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			am clicking.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			And this was the ayah I referenced about
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			Prophet Musa ﷺ.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			Now the people of Salih, what are they
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			called, people of Salih?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			Thamud, we got that down, Thamud.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			They were so so blessed, we'll share with
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:18
			you a few blessings.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			One of them is that they were the
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24
			next superpower after the people of Ad.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			Superpower.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			Allah ﷻ says in the Quran, وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ مِن بَعْدِ عَادِ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			Allah made you be established on earth.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			You were like the supreme power on earth.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			Number two, they had a lot of resources.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			Allah says, جَنَّاتَ You have so many gardens.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			وَعُيُونَ And so many springs and waters.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			وَزُرُوعَ And all the vegetation.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			وَنَخَلَ And all the fruits and fresh high
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			quality dates.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			Where is Al-Hijr?
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			Where is that location?
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			We said Al-Hijr, but where is Al
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:57
			-Hijr?
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:58
			Where is it?
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			Yes, you're very close.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			It is between Madinah and Tabuk.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			And the Prophet ﷺ in the ninth year
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			of Hijrah, he passed by that area.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			Really he did?
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			Yes, he did.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			And you know what happened?
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:22
			In several authentic Ahadith, when Rasulullah ﷺ was
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			passing by the place, you know what is
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			it called today?
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			It's called Madain Saleh.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			The dwellings of Saleh or the sites of
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			Saleh.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			And some of the ruins are still there.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			Some of the homes a little bit still
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			there.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			So what did the Sahaba do?
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			And pay close attention, because this is a
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			very important lesson.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			Some of us have never heard it before.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			When Rasulullah ﷺ was passing in the ninth
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			year of Hijrah, some of the Sahaba, they
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			saw a well in that area.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:51
			Bi'r.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			They got the water, and they filled their
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			jugs, and they cooked food with it for
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			themselves.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			Includes like meat or so.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			And for the cattle, Al-Ibl.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			When the Prophet ﷺ, he saw them doing
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			that, what did he say?
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:10
			Irhqu.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			Throw away the water.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:12
			What?
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			Throw away the water and the food and
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			everything you cooked that water with.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			I want you to keep in mind.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			They're travelers, so they are exhausted.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			They are travelers, so they are hungry.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			They're travelers, so how much water do they
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:26
			have?
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			Very limited.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			As limited as it sounds, get rid of
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			all of it.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			Why?
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			Rasulullah ﷺ, he says, whenever you pass by
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			a city that was punished by Allah, fear
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			that you may go through exactly what they
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			went through.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			وَيُصِيبَكُمْ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ Except in one condition.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			You want to go, you have to go
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			because that's a shortcut or so, no problem.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			Islam is realistic.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			Go back in.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			Go in state of fear.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			Go concerned that if I disobey to Allah,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			I will go through this.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			Go, you're worried.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			I don't want to be of the kuffar.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			Go, you're optimistic.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			You want Allah's rahmah.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			That's how you go.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			Otherwise, you may face what they faced.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			So the fact of going to these places
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			as means of vacation, tourism, in terms of
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			entertainment, that's not what the Prophet ﷺ is
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			teaching us.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			Fair enough.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			But some ulama said, there's one well only
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			that you can drink from in that area.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			Only one well.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			What's that well?
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			We'll continue and we'll mention that to you
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:35
			inshallah.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			So they were so blessed.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			They had what?
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			Allah's power, resources, and what's the third one?
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			Any guess?
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			What do you mean guess?
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			There's so many other blessings.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			Tell me one of the grandest blessings you
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			can ever be blessed with besides Islam.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			One of the greatest blessings.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:53
			Go ahead.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			Money.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			May Allah grant it to you.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			So they had money, resources, good job.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			Resources, money, for sure.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:01
			Go ahead.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			Jannah.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			May Allah grant you Jannah.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			Ahsanti.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			But in dunya, before some of them went
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:08
			there.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:08
			Go ahead.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:10
			Children.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:11
			MashaAllah.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			A child saying children.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			MashaAllah.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:14
			MashaAllah.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			May Allah bless you.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			May Allah make you such a blessing to
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			your parents.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:17
			Say ameen.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:18
			Wallahi sadaq.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			A righteous child is one of the greatest.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:21
			Go ahead.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			Health.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			Super, super close.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29
			Because health can be supreme power, strength, resources,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:29
			excellent.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			Why am I taking my time?
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:32
			For a reason.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			Because once we mention it, we want to
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			all be grateful.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:36
			Last one.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:37
			Go ahead.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			Life.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:41
			Ahsanti.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			That's a pretty good point.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:48
			It is security, safety.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			Say Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			He says, من أصبح منكم.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			Whoever wakes up.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			You guys all woke up today, right?
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			I'll give you three things, three boxes.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			Tell me how many of the three you
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			will check.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			Bismillah.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			Bismillah.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			Whoever woke up in the morning, آمين في
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			صربه.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			You feel safe.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			You're not worried there might be an earthquake.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			You're not worried someone may break into the
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:15
			house.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			You're not worried that, you know what, this
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			house may eventually someone come and, you know,
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			a police order that evacuates you and you're
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			wanted by the police for whatever reason.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:25
			آمين.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			You woke up safe.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:27
			There's no fear.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:28
			You like that?
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			All of you like that, inshallah?
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			May Allah make it easier for all of
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:31
			you.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			Because not all can actually raise their hands
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			for this one, even in Dearborn.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:36
			Right?
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			Some people wake up scared.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			May Allah make it easy for all of
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:39
			us.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			So if you are of those who can
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			check this box, الحمد لله.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:42
			Number two.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			Then he says, مُعَافًا فِي جَسَدِه.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:45
			Healthy.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			You woke up not having a migraine.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			You woke up, you're able to walk and
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			talk, understand, comprehend, and move on to your
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			job and work.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:55
			الحمد لله.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			مُعَافًا.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			You checked the other box?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			Many of us did.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:58
			Most.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			الحمد لله.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			What's the third one?
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			Third one.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			عِندَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			You have food enough for how long?
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:09
			A month?
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:10
			A week?
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			For the day.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			If you have food enough for the day
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:21
			and you're healthy and you're safe, فَقَدْ حِيزَتْ
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:21
			لَفِي جَسَدِهِ.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			عِندَهُ الدُّنْيَا.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			You basically own the world.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			يعني meaning, what does it mean?
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			Whatever you don't have besides the three, you're
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			not missing out.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:34
			سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			This is the نِعْمَة.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			May Allah grant us wisdom.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:37
			يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			So may Allah allow us to be of
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			those who appreciate all these blessings.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			Did they appreciate?
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			They didn't.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			They didn't appreciate at all.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			Look what Allah says about them.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			استَكْبَرُوا.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			Allah says فَارِهِينَ.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:50
			Wasteful.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			Allah says مُسْرِفِينَ.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			Transgressors.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			Allah says مُفْسِدِينَ.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55
			Corrupters.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			Allah says They are liars.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			Allah says لَا يُحِبُّونَ النَّاصِحِينَ.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			لَا تُحِبُّونَ.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:01
			They are haters.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			And number seven, they are what?
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:04
			Disbelievers.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			كُلْ هَذَا.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			That's how evil they were.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			They're so blessed and they did all of
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			that evil.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:11
			Arrogance.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			They were a superpower.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			But when you are rich, it doesn't mean
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			you look down upon people.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:23
			Rasulullah ﷺ, he said whoever has arrogance as
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			how much?
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:24
			How big?
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			Atom weight of arrogance in their heart.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			And you cannot see it with your eyes.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			It has to have a microscope, right?
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			If you have that amount of arrogance in
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			your heart, you will not go to Jannah.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			One of the Sahaba was nervous.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			He doesn't know what he said to the
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			He said, Rasulullah, arrogance and pride.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			He said, Rasulullah, we like to wear nice
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:45
			clothes.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48
			We like to wear nice shoes.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			What is the Prophet ﷺ saying?
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَمِيلُ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالِ Allah is beautiful.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			He loves beauty.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			So yes, keep doing that good stuff.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			Wear nice clothes.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			Wear clean clothes.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			Fresh clothes.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:00
			No problem.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			Then he explains.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			He says, arrogance.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			بَطْرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ It is rejecting the
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:07
			truth.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			Someone gives you a piece of advice.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			You know they're right and you're like, whatever.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			Mind your own business.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			Don't talk to me.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ Why?
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			هَذَا الْأَرِغَنْسِ That may take us to hellfire.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ Looking down upon people.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			Someone from that nation, I'm not going to
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			talk to.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			Someone from that country, I'm not going to
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:27
			listen to.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			And these are not random examples.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			I spoke to a brother one time about
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			a حَلَقَةَ that was taking place in a
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			masjid.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			So then I told him, Shaykh, so and
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			so is coming.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			He did not know him.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			He asked me one question.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			مِنْ أَيْ شُوَّةَ مِنْ أَيْ كُلْتْرَ What ethnicity?
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			So I said, he is from so and
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:46
			so.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			You think I'm going to tell you?
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			مَجْنُونْ أَنَا I'm not going to tell you.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			I said he's from so and so place.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			This is what he said.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			He said, أَنَا You want me to learn
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			Islam from someone from that country?
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			والله العظيم Because where he's from?
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			Ta'barba his degrees and all that stuff.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			Imagine, you know what he's saying?
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			I will not listen to Bukhari.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			All the hadith nullified.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:08
			Why?
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			Because he's from Bukhara.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			لَا حَوْلَ يَقْوَةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ May Allah grant
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:12
			us hikmah and wisdom.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ So they were arrogant, rejecting
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			the truth.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			And they were wasteful and transgressors.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			الإصراف Especially us here.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			We have an issue with israf.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:23
			Agreed, Shoaib?
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			In North America, in the West, Allah gave
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			us so much.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			But we have the issue of israf.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			Whether we eat or the way we drink.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			And Allah has no problem with eating and
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:33
			drinking.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			Look what Allah says.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			يَا بَنِي آدَمَ Listen, very nice.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			Allah says, يَا بَنِي آدَمَ O children of
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			Adam.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:40
			Yes, Ya Allah.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			خُذُوا ذِينَتَكُمْ Wear nice, clean clothes when you
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			go to the masjid.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			Fantastic.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			وَكُلُوا وَشْرَبُوا Eat and drink.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			Then Allah says, وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا But don't go
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:55
			beyond the limit.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ Allah doesn't like
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			those who are wasteful.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			Allah doesn't like those who ruin things like
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:02
			that.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			Subhanallah.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			So please, inshallah, something whether it comes for
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			food, for example.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			Whatever you want to put in the plate,
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			keep in mind this is what you will
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:11
			eat.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			And I propose that rule.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			Feel free to take it.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			It's family by family.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			Subjective.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			I don't want no problems.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:19
			Okay?
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			I have a rule.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			Whoever puts the food in the plate is
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			responsible for whatever remains behind.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			What does that mean?
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			Let's say there's a child and the parent
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			wants to put food for them.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			Look here, eat.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			Then they eat halfway.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:38
			They're like, I'm done.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			Why do you mean you're done?
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:39
			Eat it.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			You're the one who put the whole plate.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			So the penalty is the one who poured
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			the food, eats it.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			So now what did the parents say?
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			Nafsi, nafsi.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			I'm not putting food for you.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			So now the kids, they put their own
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			food and they know whatever I put, I
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:55
			gotta eat.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			I remember one time I was invited over
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			one of my teacher's homes.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			May Allah bless him, Ya Rabb.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			I went to his house.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:03
			Allahumma barik.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			The amount of food he had was so
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			nice that I became disturbed.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			Awwal marra.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			I just so much.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			I'm like, there's not that many people and
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			the food was all over.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:14
			How?
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			So then I'm like, he's a shaykh and
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			imam and knows the deen.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			Like, unless he knows people, okay, but I'm
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			just confused.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:22
			Anyhow, we ate.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			The food was remarkable.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			After we were done, and I kid you
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			not, I was a little bit, it's in
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			my memory, the food upstairs, it was so
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:30
			good.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:30
			I want to go for seconds.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:31
			I did.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:32
			Thirds.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:35
			It doesn't matter what happened after thirds, okay?
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			But there's still a lot of food.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			And Subhanallah, may Allah grant him Jannah.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			Allah taught me something so nice.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:44
			As everybody was leaving, him and his wife,
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			mostly his wife, not him, his wife, because
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			he was sitting with us, right, she packed
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			food for all those who stayed behind.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			Subhanallah, it was all ready and packed up
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			and given to the friends.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			Here we go, here we go, here we
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			go, and the food eventually was distributed among
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:00
			all of us.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			So no cooking the next day.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:02
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			It's amazing, Subhanallah.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07
			So he was able to show generosity and
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			he was able to go generosity without any
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			extravagance and wasteful food.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			So may Allah grant us Jannah.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			Ya Rabbal Alameen.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			These people didn't care.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			Every limit Allah put, go beyond it and
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:18
			cross it.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			And they were corrupters.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			And he missed facet.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			Facet is what?
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:21
			What's facet?
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			Corrupted.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			Humma mufsideen.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:24
			What does it mean?
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			And they are corrupted and they are spreading
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			corruption.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			And you have, for example, may Allah make
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			it easy for all of you.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			Someone has a drinking problem.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			Mashing, a drinking problem.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			Why would you go to someone and take
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:37
			a sip?
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			This is your problem.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			Why are you sharing it?
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:40
			Right?
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			You're getting the hookah.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			You get the hookah.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			Mashing, and you go to someone else's house.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			The guy doesn't smoke and even if he
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			does, why contribute to that?
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:50
			Right?
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			And they hate anyone who gives them advice.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			La yuhibboon nasihin.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			You correct me, he hates you immediately and
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			the worst of all, kafa rabba.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			They have no respect to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			ta'ala.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			Does this sound a little bit similar to
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			those that attended the last session?
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:08
			Very similar.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			But you know what's the difference?
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:14
			These people are a lot worse, are a
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			lot worse than the people of Aad.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:17
			May Allah protect us.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			How?
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:18
			You will see shortly.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			So what happened?
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			Are they evil?
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			Will you guys say they're pretty evil like
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:22
			out of 10?
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			10 out of 10.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			As evil as they were, Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			ta'ala still gave them a chance.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			Allah from his rahma, he sent them a
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:35
			prophet.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			wa ila thamud akhahum saliha.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			Allah sent them a prophet.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			So what do I take from it?
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			People are as evil as thamud.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			Allah gave them a chance.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			Why should we give up on each other?
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			I'll give you one chance.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			Give at least one chance.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			Why that one chance at least?
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:54
			Why?
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			For your sake, not for their sake.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:56
			What do you mean?
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			I'm confused.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			Because if you don't give them that one
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:04
			chance, they may see you yawm al qiyamah,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			the day of judgment and say, Ya Allah,
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			they didn't tell me.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			I was doing the wrong right in front
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			of her all these years.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			She never opened up her mouth and corrected
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			the way I was making wudu.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			Then you're like, Oh, I was so shy
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			to tell her.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			Shyness in this case will not benefit you.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			So at least one time, correct the person,
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			especially if it's a correction that is needed,
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			that is urgent and so on and so
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			forth.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			May Allah not make us be faced by
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			the people we did not advise.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			Ya Rabb, may Allah make it easy for
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			us.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:33
			Ya Rabb al alameen.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			So Allah is giving them that chance, which
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			is called as iqamatul hujjah, leaving no excuse
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:39
			behind.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			Now, who is that prophet?
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			Salih alayhis salam.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			He was from among them.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			What did he say?
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			Ya qawmi.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			What does ya qawmi mean?
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:47
			My people.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			But how do you out of respect and
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			love?
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			Ya qawmi, my people.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			You know when you say that's my people?
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			I remember one time there was a guy
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			next to him with his cousin.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			So this cousin was no good.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			Okay?
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			No good.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			So then the person was saying who are
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			you guys?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			So, let's say for example my name is
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			Ahmad and his name is Abbas.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:11
			Okay?
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			But usually what do you say?
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			This is my cousin Abbas.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			But he didn't want to associate.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			But you have nothing to do with him.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			I don't want to.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			So this Abbas, he says, by the way,
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			I'm his cousin.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			Right?
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			So Salih is trying to be as perfectly
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			respectful as possible.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			He could have said ya kathabeen, ya liars.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			It's there.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			He could have said ya mutakabeen, ya arrogant
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:34
			people.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			It's there.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			He could have said you losers.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			It's there.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			But he says, ya qawmi, my people.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			I'm one of you.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			Adab, wa ihtiram, and respect.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			So be very, very careful.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:47
			Especially if you're into calling people to Allah,
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			the noblest job.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			And one time, I remember one of the
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:51
			teachers.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			Subhanallah, we slip sometimes.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:54
			We all make mistakes.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:55
			Right?
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			Don't cancel him over this.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:56
			Relax.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			He's like, what's up with some of the
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			sisters?
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			He's like, she put her hair in the
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:02
			blender.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			So she had an abdu and she came
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			to a lecture.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			Do you think the sister who has the
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			abdu, who you said, why you put your
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			hair in the blender?
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			She's like, wallah, you touched my heart?
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			She's like, I'm walking out and put the
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			blender in your head.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:18
			Okay.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			So you have to be very careful, subhanallah.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			People get so excited and things of that
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:23
			sort.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			May Allah grant us wisdom.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			So he says, ya qawmi, my people.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:28
			What is he going to say?
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			Out of everything they did, I shared with
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			you seven.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			I shared with you how many?
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			I told you arrogant.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			I told you liars.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			I told you kada, kada, kada.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			Out of everything they did, what will he
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			address first?
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			Here, undak.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:43
			Right?
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:45
			Worship Allah.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:46
			Hada ahamshi.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			You want to talk to someone about Islam?
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			Number one, Allah.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			The existence of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			The power of Allah.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			Allah's capabilities.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			Allah's mercy.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			That's what you talk about Allah.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			Once you agree on that, you move to
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			A, B, C, D, whatever, all the letters
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			in the world.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			Fair enough?
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			I'm telling you, it might sound rude, but
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			I'm telling you, inshallah, it's sometimes not worth
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			going to the branches of Islam until you
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			establish this first.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			Not everybody has a lot of time.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			They ask you, for example, there's a very
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:14
			good question.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			A person was asked a very good question.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			He says, you guys believe Quran came from
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:19
			God.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			This was this week.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			That's true.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			Sah?
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:22
			Yes.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			He said, isn't it not true that some
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			verses which you all agree are from God,
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			there's no difference of opinion, we said yes,
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:30
			not I, but someone else.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			He said, why are there different interpretations?
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			This is what he said.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			Now, if he was Muslim, we would talk
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			more.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			But he does not believe Quran is from
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:44
			Allah.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			Why waste his time and my time?
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			So let me go back to tell you
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			who is the one who sent it, his
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			wisdom, his capabilities and so on.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:54
			Then I go to that.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			You guys agree with me?
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			Just out of curiosity, anyone disagrees?
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			Who would dare disagree?
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			And for you to disagree, raise your hand,
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			may Allah grant you Jannah.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			Say Ameen.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			By the way, you can disagree, it's not
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:07
			black and white.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			So he says, عُبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ Then he says, هُوَ أَنْشَأَكُمْ مِنَ
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			الْأَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا Allah says to them, through
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			Salih Alayhissalam, teaches them, you came from Earth.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			What was your beginning?
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			Remember where you came from?
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:28
			Then he says, وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا So remember where
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			you came from and remember where you're at
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			today.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			Everyone here, wherever you are today is because
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			of Allah.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:37
			You think you came to this venue because
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:37
			you're righteous?
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			You actually thought that?
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			You thought I'm giving this talk because I'm
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			righteous?
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			That's the reason?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			لا مُشْتَحِين Who guided us to here?
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			What did the Prophet ﷺ say in Al
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51
			-Khandaq?
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:55
			He says, لَوْ لَا اللَّهَ مَا احْتَدَيْنَ مَا
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			احْتَدَيْنَ Muhammad ﷺ says, لَوْ لَا اللَّهَ If
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			it was not for Allah, we would have
		
00:22:59 --> 00:22:59
			never been guided.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			That's the Prophet saying that.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			Without Allah, you would have never showed up
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:03
			here.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			Without Allah, I could not even put a
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			sentence together.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
			So when we think of this, what happens?
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			We're humble, right?
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:14
			استَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا Then فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا Since He created you
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			from earth, since you are successful in dunya,
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			then seek the forgiveness of the one who
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			gave that to you.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			وَثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ Then return back to Allah.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ Allah is what?
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:30
			Close and responsive to your supplications.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			As bad as you may seem, what people
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			say about you, when it comes to Allah,
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			there's an open door policy.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			You can always go back to Allah.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			He's saying that to the people that did
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:41
			all that evil.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:42
			What about you and I?
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			Correct?
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			May Allah protect us.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			So don't give up on Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:46
			ta'ala.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			After knowing Allah gave these people a chance.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			Don't ever lose hope.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			May Allah grant us hope that is wise
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:54
			Say ameen.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ You see these two names in
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			the Quran often.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:04
			Give me one ayah where قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ besides
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			this one is in the Quran.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			These two names, close, responsive.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			These are two names of Allah.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			Where do you find them as well in
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			the Quran?
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:14
			Go ahead.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			The next word.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			أَحْسَنْتُ May Allah bless you and may Allah
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			make you near to him and respond to
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			all your du'a.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:27
			Say ameen.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			I should have raised my hand.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			اِرَاحَتْ عَلَيْهِ Right?
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:31
			May Allah bless her.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			Say ameen to her family.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			So Allah says to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			sallam, when they ask you about me, about
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:42
			Allah, Allah is so close he does not
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			tell the Prophet tell them I am near.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			Allah cuts that.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			If you put this in your English essay,
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			the teacher will take a mark off.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:54
			Because you're supposed to say, generally, then tell
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			them I am near.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			No, Allah takes that portion off.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			He's so near, he does not tell the
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			Prophet to tell you.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			He does not tell Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			sallam to tell you.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:07
			فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبٌ I'm near and I respond.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			What do you benefit in knowing that Allah
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			is near?
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			Allah could have said I respond.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:13
			Why the name near?
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			What do you guys think?
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			What does it make a difference?
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			If Allah says I respond, but this time,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			the other time, he puts these names together.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:26
			قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبٌ What do you benefit
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:26
			that he's near?
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:28
			Go ahead.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			The conversation, right?
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			You need to know that he's so close
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			to you, that he hears you.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			And you know what do you benefit with
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			قَرِيبٌ?
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			When you know Allah is قَرِيبٌ, that means
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			he knows everything about you.
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			He knows everything.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			So sometimes, when there's someone who doesn't know
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:46
			much about you, you get shy.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			But the one who knows everything about you,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			you're very relaxed with them.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			So some people, for example, they say, can
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			I make dua for like Jannatul Fardowsiya?
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			Of course.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			There's other things they want to ask.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			Can I make dua for the Samsung 23
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			Ultra?
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			They would never probably ask this question.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			I had one person ask me this question.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			It was on Facebook.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			Even though he saw me, but he's like
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			an unknown name.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			Can I make dua for a phone?
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			Because he's embarrassed.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			Allah is قَرِيبٌ, he already knows what you
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:17
			want.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			So the fact that he's قَرِيبٌ should make
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			you comfortable to ask whatever you want.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ TV plasma 64 inch for
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			the Super Bowl.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			يَا رَبَّ You see, you guys laughed.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			Allah SWT hears and he already knows what
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			the person wants.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			May Allah grant us Jannah and protect us
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:33
			from the Super Bowl.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			Anyway, let's move on.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			And now I'm in trouble again for the
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:36
			Super Bowl comments.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			So when Salih alayhi salam, he spoke to
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			them, he said, إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ What
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			was the response?
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			Do you think they were positive or negative?
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			Respectful, there's a chance for you.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			Don't lose hope in Allah SWT.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			Allah is always there for you.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			Seek Allah's forgiveness.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			Because when you seek Allah's forgiveness, Allah will
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			give you more.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			Yes or no?
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			Allah will give you more.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			Don't think if you become more Muslim, practicing,
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			you will lose the blessings.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06
			لا فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُ رَبَّكُمْ One scholar had a
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			person walk in.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			This scholar had a partner.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			When that person walked in to that circle,
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			he asked the sheikh, يَا إِمَامَ I have
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			an issue in terms of wealth.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			I don't have money and I really want
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			any advice, any dua.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			So he told them, ask Allah to forgive
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:25
			you.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			يَا إِمَامَ Okay.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			So the guy, the partner is like, okay.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			Take notes down from the sheikh.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			Another person came in.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			He said, Oh sheikh, I have a problem.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:36
			What's the problem?
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			You know, I've been trying for the longest
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			time to have a kid, a child, and
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:40
			it's not been working.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:41
			Any advice?
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			He said, يَا إِمَامَ I pray to Allah
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:47
			personally to grant all of you righteous children.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			يَا إِمَامَ Then another person came.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			يَا إِمَامَ Oh sheikh, I have a problem.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:54
			What's your problem?
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			I need it to rain.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			I've got a farm business.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:57
			I've got cattle.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:58
			I need some water.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			We don't have rivers here.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			So he said, just say, استغفر الله استغفر
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			الله استغفر الله.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			Then he walked out.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			The guy sitting next to him is like,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			This is plagiarism.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:08
			Copy-paste.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			He's like, the guy asked for children, استغفر
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11
			الله.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			Once rain, استغفر الله.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			Once money, استغفر الله.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			How?
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			On what basis?
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			He says, Allah says in the Qur'an,
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			فَقُلْتُ اِسْتَغْفِرُ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًۭا Allah says
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			in the Qur'an, saying استغفر الله.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:25
			What happens?
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:29
			يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا If you say استغفر
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			الله, Allah will make it rain.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:35
			That means, relax, part of the reason there's
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:39
			drought in some areas, one of the possible
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			reasons is the lack of استغفار.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			The excess in sinning and no repentance.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:47
			So Allah stops the rain from coming down.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			That's why when the Dajjal is about to
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52
			come, the year he's about to come, not
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			a single drop of rain will come on
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			earth.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			So people will actually start dying.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			That's how bad.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			And when the Dajjal comes, it's like almost
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			the peak of what sin and so on.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			بَلْحَمْدُ اللَّهِ مَهْدِينُ But they all go into
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04
			a lot of details.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			So the rain will come down.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:07
			استغفار.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:08
			Then what next?
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:12
			يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا وَيَمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ You want
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:12
			cash?
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			Cash, not even credit cards, cash.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:18
			أَمْوَال Jewelry, gifts, gold, silver and so on.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			استغفار.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			And the last one وَبَنِينَ And children.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			May Allah grant all righteous children halal wealth
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			and rain.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:28
			يَرَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ So here, when he said that
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			to them, what did they respond?
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			قَالُوا يَا صَالِحَ لَا لَا لَا لَا لَا
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			What is this nonsense?
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			He says قَدْ كُنْتَ ثِينًا مَرْجُوًا قَبْلَ هَذَا
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			We had good thoughts of you.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			You were cool and everything.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			What happened to you now, becoming all religious?
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:45
			No!
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			We used to come to you and want
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:48
			advice.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			We used to think you're such a good
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			person.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			In one narration it says they were even
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			going to elect him to be their leader.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:57
			لا لا لا You're very disappointed.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			Why they're so disappointed?
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			What's the sin he made?
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			What's the مصيبة he did that he's disappointing?
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:02
			What was it?
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:03
			Read it.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			أَتَنْهَانَ أَنْ نَعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا You're telling
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			us not to worship the gods, our parents.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			Our parents used to worship.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:14
			لا وَإِنَّنَا لا في شَكٍ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَ إِلَيه
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:15
			مُرِيد.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			And we even doubt what you're saying to
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:17
			begin with.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			No, we can't accept this.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ This whole time they never criticized
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:22
			him.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			He never worshipped idols, but the moment they
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			start giving advice, correction.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:29
			No, it's more like a party party pooper.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:30
			صح؟
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			أنت تخرب.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34
			You ruined the event.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:36
			Oh, here's the shaykh.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:37
			خلاص.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38
			Turn off the TV.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			You see these jokes?
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			You know what happens, right?
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			And then like, don't invite that.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			That sister, اسحب.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			We start talking, and that sister says, جماعة,
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:47
			this is bad biting.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49
			Right?
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			Before that, she was cool and everything.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			On a Super Bowl party, don't forward the
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			WhatsApp to this brother.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:58
			This brother comes in, guys, let's do a
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			حلقة in the halftime, so انشلوا الحلقة.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			Cadillac is spending two million dollars on an
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			advertisement to pass it, to hear your حلقة.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			You see what I'm saying?
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			هذو الناس خلاص.
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			قد كنت مرجون.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			You used to, كفينة مرجون, used to have
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:11
			hopes.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			No, not anymore.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			May Allah protect us, يا رب العالمين.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			You know, this can happen even in the
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:16
			workplace.
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			I remember one of the jobs I had,
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			the manager asked me to come to a
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			meeting, one-on-one.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			And when it's not scheduled like that, we
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			can get nervous sometimes, right?
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			Like, why is this urgent, immediate meeting?
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			So I sat into the meeting with that
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:35
			manager, and they told me, listen, I was
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			a contractor.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			There's a difference between contract and direct hire.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			Anyhow, so I was a contractor looking to
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			get a direct hire from the company.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			And that manager told me, we want you
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			to eventually grow in the company, become a
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			direct hire, give you a raise, all the
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:49
			good stuff.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			What's the problem?
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			They mentioned to me my lack of physical
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			contact with women.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:57
			What do you mean?
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			Like, you really avoid handshakes, you act awkward,
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			like, I got a laptop, I do all...
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			Because I actually did that, right?
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			Sorry.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			Why did you bring the laptop to the
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:06
			meeting?
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:07
			You don't need a laptop.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			But you do everything, right?
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			You wear a mask sometimes, whatever it takes.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:15
			So then I said, well, this is part
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			of my faith, and so on and so
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:17
			forth.
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			Then she told me, listen, I'm going to
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			be very transparent with you.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			By the way, she can get in trouble
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:22
			for what she said.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24
			She can get in big trouble.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			I respect her honesty.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			She said, the way you're behaving and you're
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:31
			committed to your religion, it may hinder your
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			process or progress in growing in the company.
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:37
			This is, subhanAllah, at a baby scale, to
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			what is told Salih, right?
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:40
			And to what you're being told, and what
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:42
			you're being told at university, at work, this
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			and that.
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			You have to go to the happy hour.
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:46
			Come on, don't be the guy who does
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			not show up to the 34 members meeting
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			after work.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:49
			No, it's okay.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:50
			It's my deen.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			I don't want to be in the area
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			of alcohol, for example, right?
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:53
			So that pressure came.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55
			SubhanAllah, I was hesitant.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			Do I share this with you or not?
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			Because I made a big mistake.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:58
			I made a big mistake.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:00
			I tried to use logic.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			So I said, you know, I don't maybe
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			hug, or hi, whatever, Jessica, whatever her name
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:06
			is.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			Anyways, but then I said, well, there are
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			germophobes.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:13
			Why don't you talk to them?
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:15
			So I was blind for a second.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:20
			She said, Majid, germophobes are not gender-biased.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			And they'll say, oh, it's all men and
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:24
			women.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			What you're doing, Majid, she said, you're doing,
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:30
			you're strictly avoiding handshakes, hugs, and whatever the
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:30
			case is with women.
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33
			And I'm like, that's when you use logic.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			Sometimes you think you're smart, and then we
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			got cornered.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:36
			So what do we say next time?
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:37
			Allah said so.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:42
			Because Rasulullah it was said about in an
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:46
			authentic hadith, He never touched a woman that
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:47
			was not halal for him to touch.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			On a good note, Allah is my witness.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
			Literally, few weeks after that meeting.
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53
			Do you think I started shaking hands?
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			May Allah make it easy for us.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			Right?
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			So then, right after this meeting, a few
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			weeks later, it was tough, it was a
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:00
			fitna to me.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			I had one child, second one actually, second
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04
			one came.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:05
			And I'm thinking of that, I want to
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			grow and have a direct position.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			Because contractor, you can leave any moment.
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			Allah is my witness.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			Allah sent a contract from another company.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14
			And what do we usually do if you
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:15
			love the original company?
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			You show them the contract so they can
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:18
			match.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			So I got the contract, I threw in
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			a number for the salary, and they accepted.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			Allahu Akbar!
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			It's not that crazy, relax.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26
			Especially if you're a physician, ana miskeen.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:28
			Aqbal zakah from you, maybe, right?
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:31
			May Allah bless all physicians, say ameen.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			And businessmen, and women.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:33
			Relax.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:34
			Okay?
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:37
			So then the contract came, I told my
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			manager, I got this job offer, I think
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			I'm going to have to accept it, I'll
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			give you respectfully two week notice, don't do
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			brother, sister, don't do this whole thing, I'll
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:45
			leave the next thing.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			Case by case, but avoid that.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			So she said, no, no, we want you.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			Aha, now you want me.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:53
			Right?
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:54
			She said, no, we want you.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			Share the contract with us, we'll take you
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:58
			to HR, we'll match the offer.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:34:59
			I'm like, I don't know if you can
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			match it.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			She's like, what do you mean?
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			Show me the contract, what was it?
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			So I showed it.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			He's like, oh my god, that's like more
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			than me.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			Because the Razzaq is not hers, it's Allah.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:09
			Right?
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:11
			So then she said, you know what, I'll
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:11
			still try.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:13
			She went to HR, they said, khalli.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			We can't match this, right?
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:17
			So eventually, Alhamdulillah, moved on, and so on
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			and so forth.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			So the test comes, sometimes I fail, sometimes
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21
			I pass.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			May Allah make us all pass, and if
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24
			we fail, may Allah make us all repent.
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:31
			So eventually, he said, Now when they said
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33
			that to him, Salih alayhi salam is about
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34
			to explain himself.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			Let me explain myself a little bit.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:36
			Three parts to it.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:36
			Ready?
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			How many?
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:38
			Three parts.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:40
			Number one, he wants to explain him and
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41
			his personality.
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:42
			He says, ...
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			I'm a trustworthy person.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			You guys always knew.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			I never lied to you.
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:48
			All my life.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			He's been with them for decades.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			Never betrayed them.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:52
			Never lied once.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			Absolutely kept every promise.
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:55
			...
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:58
			Fear Allah and listen to me.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			Then he says, Why do you guys doubt
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:01
			me?
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			Like we doubt you're even saying the truth.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			I'm not asking for money.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:05
			Did I ask you for membership fees?
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:06
			Did I ask you for this?
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07
			Did I ask you if I tell you
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			this, you pay me that?
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			Because in his case, the prophet, ...
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			The one who's going to pay me is
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			Allah, the Lord of all beings.
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			What's he going to do next?
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			Remind them of their blessings.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			He says, ask for you ...
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:26
			Do you guys think you have all this
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27
			forever?
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			Do you not think you guys are so
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:29
			rich?
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:31
			You have the vehicles.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:31
			You have the homes.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:32
			You have the big families.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			All the good stuff.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:34
			Okay.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:34
			God bless you.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:35
			All right.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			But do you think you will not be
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			held accountable for whatever Allah has given you?
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:39
			...
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			You have gardens.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:42
			You have water.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:43
			You have palm trees.
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:44
			Not just that.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:47
			You guys are not thinking of accountability.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:50
			In addition, you're going above and beyond.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:52
			He says, ...
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:53
			...
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:57
			And you guys are just so wasteful that
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:02
			you start carving homes in mountains.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:04
			Do you know how bored you have to
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:04
			be?
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:05
			Right?
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			There's not ...
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:10
			means ...
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:10
			as well.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:12
			They're very exceptionally artistic.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:13
			But ...
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15
			also means wastefulness.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:17
			And if it was danger because of certain
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			thunderstorms, carve a house in the mountains.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			Sure, live in there forever.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:20
			Doesn't matter.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:22
			But they're doing it out of just wastefulness.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			How much time does that take?
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:28
			I'm going to have this ceramic from Italy
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			on my kitchen.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:30
			...
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			No hating.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			...
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			but if this is coming at the expense
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			of missing your salah, a brother gets a
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			phone call, he's like no I'm gonna miss
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:40
			Jumaa, why?
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42
			because the phone calls from Italy now we're
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			having issues, you see what's happening?
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:46
			enjoy your time, get that tile from Italy,
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:49
			no hard feelings but not at the expense
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:50
			of your religion, fair enough?
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			so he says all these things, you're gonna
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:54
			be held accountable, do you guys hold yourself
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:55
			accountable sometimes?
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:57
			how does it feel?
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			how does that feel when you get on
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:03
			a Sunday or however you program it, your
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:07
			phone usage increased by six hours 31 minutes,
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08
			right?
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:11
			the phones want to hold you accountable, right?
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:15
			and the steps, today you walked 66 steps
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:17
			out of 10,000, you see the accountability
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:20
			and you're like I gotta better myself, we
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:22
			do all that good stuff, keep it up
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			what about the deen?
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:25
			do you look back?
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:29
			I missed Hajar today, I cannot miss Hajar
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:32
			tomorrow, hold yourself accountable, I gotta sleep early,
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			every time I hang out with these people,
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:36
			we have dinner, I order extra food, I
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:38
			have food coma and then I stay up
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:40
			to digest, to trick myself, I don't want
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42
			to sleep right after I eat, so I
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			stay up three hours to feel good, so
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			then I miss Hajar, we go through that,
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47
			that's why the example is so real, right?
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:50
			so all these things are happening, so you
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:52
			hold yourself accountable, you try to sleep early
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:53
			and you wake up for Hajar, may Allah
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			make it easy for all of us, think,
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:58
			think, I remember when I moved to the
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:01
			new job, when I moved to the new
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:03
			job, a guy's name is Alan, he's like
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:08
			imagine, I encourage you to put a percentage
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:13
			of your salary into the 401k, I'm like
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			tell me more about 401k, as Muslims you
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			get nervous, 401k haram and all that stuff,
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:17
			relax, right?
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			so he says listen, 401k you put in
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			your money, then the company matches up to
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			4% or whatever the case is and
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25
			this is for your retirement plan, okay tell
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:29
			me more, so basically you cannot, any technically,
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:32
			pull money out of the 401k until you
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:37
			retire, if you pull that before retirement, they
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:39
			take from you 20% taxes and 10
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:42
			% withdrawal fee, 30% it's a lot,
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:44
			so he said yeah you take it till
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:46
			when you retire, so I told Alan, Alan
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:49
			is a very old guy, okay, I'm coming
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			in I was like the youngest person in
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			the whole department at that time, and yeah
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:56
			so then I told him that Alan, 63,
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			retirement age and so on, it's a long
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:01
			way, why not enjoy it now, that's what
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:02
			I told him, I'd rather enjoy it now
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:05
			instead of me putting it into the account
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:06
			and making it grow until I'm 60 plus
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			which there's a, I'm not sure the chances
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			of me living till then, he said oh
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12
			don't say that man, I promise it'll pay
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:13
			off, now Alan is about to retire this
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15
			year, right?
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:16
			may Allah grant him guidance, see what I
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:19
			mean, so then my manager comes, his name
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			is Paul, he's like imagine, I asked him
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			what about 401k, what do you think, he's
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25
			like I recommend for you put the maximum
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:27
			amount, and this is not the highest I
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:29
			would share with you guys, right, depending on
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:31
			your case, he said put the maximum amount,
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			at that time was 18%, so 18%
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35
			of your salary, put it in the 401k,
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:38
			I was nervous, I'm sorry, right, because all
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:40
			people get able to retire any minute, I
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			still have a long way ahead, inshallah, so
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:45
			anyhow eventually I listened to them, I increased
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:48
			the percentage down the road and subhanAllah what
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			they did was what we need to do
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:53
			with Yawmul Qiyamah, when I was preparing this
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			I never thought about it until this lecture,
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			this lecture, I'm like this was his akhirah,
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:03
			their 401k is their akhirah, prepare, right, you
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			sacrifice, you have to put money from take
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			from the paycheck, don't enjoy it now, enjoy
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			it later, it's all about the ending, this
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			is akhirah, Allahu Akbar, so we had to
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			learn from Alan and Paul, right, so what
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:16
			we do, we want, رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:19
			حَزَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَزَنَةً so I put 18
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			% and I'm looking for akhirah inshallah, may
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:21
			Allah make it easy for all of us,
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23
			say ameen, but may Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24
			'ala allow us to invest in which is
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:27
			halal, ya rab, so the point being here
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			is that you have the aspect of accountability,
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:33
			you know in several narrations, do you know
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:34
			what was the last thing Umar al-Khattab
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:37
			was thinking of when he died, Umar al
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			-Khattab رضي الله عنه and inshallah there's a
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:42
			lecture coming up by the ICD next Friday
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:44
			inshallah, Sheikh Michael Smith about Umar bin Khattab
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:46
			رضي الله عنه, so Umar al-Khattab رضي
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			الله عنه as many of you perhaps know,
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:52
			he had a beautiful sad ending يعني he
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			was martyred رضي الله عنه and he was
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:58
			stabbed by a hypocrite, right أبو لؤلوة so
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			when he was dying and without being very
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			descriptive and the blood was coming from his
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:06
			stomach and so on, when he drinks milk,
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
			it actually comes out from the stomach, that's
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:11
			how much it was torn and he was
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:14
			having his head on whose thigh his son,
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:17
			what was his name, the very famous son,
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20
			Abdullah bin Umar, when Abdullah bin Umar Umar's
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:23
			son was having Umar's head here, it was
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			very devastating news and people are seeing and
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:27
			who walked in, Uthman bin Affan, Uthman bin
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:29
			Affan he says I was there the last
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			moments of Umar, he said when I walked
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:34
			in Umar رضي الله عنه eventually tells his
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			son and he's in and out you know
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:39
			in terms of conscious, so he says put
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:44
			my cheek on the floor, like move the
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46
			thigh, put my face on the floor so
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:51
			Ibn Umar tells him like the ground or
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:53
			my thigh, like what's the difference, stay here
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:58
			خلاص, then he says put my cheek and
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			my face on the floor and you lose
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			your mind, which is an attribution, just listen
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			to me, put my face on the floor,
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:07
			puts his face on the ground, then he
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:10
			says وَيْلُنْ لِي وَوَيْلُ أُمِّي إِنْ لَمْ يَغْفِرُ
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:13
			اللَّهُ لِي woe to me and how sad
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			is it for my mom to know and
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			how devastating it is to Allah, to me
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:18
			in front of Allah, if Allah does not
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:21
			forgive me وَيْلُنْ لِي وَوَيْلُنْ لِي أُمِّي إِنْ
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:22
			لَمْ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِي إِنْ لَمْ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:25
			لِي because he became Muslim when he was
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:28
			about 36 years old so he had a
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:30
			lot of Kufr and Shirk pre-Islam, he
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			wants Allah's forgiveness and throughout Islam we all
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:35
			make mistakes and he passed away having the
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			accountability being prepared for Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:38
			'ala.
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			How is our situation?
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:46
			Allah says Allah says you're hearing, your sight,
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:51
			your heart Allah will ask you what did
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:51
			you hear?
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:53
			Allah will ask you will you watch?
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:55
			Allah will ask your heart who do you
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56
			love and who do you hate?
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:58
			Yes, what you love and what you hate
		
00:43:58 --> 00:43:59
			you will be held accountable for.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			Just like if you love the prophet you'll
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04
			be with him, if you love the wicked
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:06
			and evil Allah knows what will happen to
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:07
			you and I, right?
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:10
			So keep that in mind and Rasulullah sallallahu
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			alayhi wasallam when he speaks about all these
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:14
			beautiful things one time a man went to
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:17
			al-akhirah then Allah tells this man he
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:19
			was a very evil man so Allah subhanahu
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:21
			wa ta'ala basically presented the books the
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:23
			book of deeds right so this man he
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:25
			says ya Allah no no no no no
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			I can't accept whatever is written about me
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:31
			do you not say oppression is prohibited on
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:31
			you?
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:33
			Allah says yes so the man says I
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			want to be my own witness let me
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37
			tell you what I did don't let people
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:38
			tell you what I did I want to
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:40
			speak on my own self about my own
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:43
			self so very rude guy right very rude
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:46
			so Allah says go ahead and speak so
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:53
			while he wants to speak so basically what
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:54
			happened?
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:00
			Allah has sealed their mouth but how is
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:00
			that fair?
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:09
			Allah says we zip their mouth and then
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:12
			the hands start to speak ya Allah he
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:18
			touched this and he's going crazy and he
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:22
			clicked on that and he sent that message
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:26
			and he struck that person bullied them then
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:27
			who speaks?
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:32
			the legs and he walked there ya Allah
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34
			the speech speaks and he's going crazy I
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:36
			can't do anything about it and he did
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:39
			this with me Allah then once everything was
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:41
			done Allah unzips what was the first thing
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:45
			he says shame on you you're losers losers
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:49
			don't challenge Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:51
			then he told the whole story right told
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			us the whole story then he says shame
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:56
			on all of you for you I was
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58
			fighting for your sake and now look where
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00
			we're all gonna go which is hellfire may
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:04
			Allah protect us so hold yourself accountable before
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			it is too late may Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:09
			ta'ala make it easy for all of
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:11
			us and what's number three number three is
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:15
			a bit risky he warned them how he
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:22
			says he says to the people he's giving
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			a talk and then he says do not
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:27
			obey the transgressors the evildoers the ones that
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:30
			are pushing you away then he elaborates the
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:33
			ones who spread corruption on and they do
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:36
			not want any khair they don't want any
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:37
			good not an ounce of goodness in them
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:42
			these people avoid them now this is sensitive
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:43
			but sometimes we have to do it correct
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:46
			and by by the way people of the
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:49
			mood the elite got so angry you're telling
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:50
			people not to walk with us not to
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:52
			hang out with us and sometimes you have
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:54
			to say what salih said you agree with
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:57
			me I remember in one masjid there was
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59
			one brother walking with the other brother one
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01
			of them is known to be a big
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:04
			time troublemaker so he's walking with another guy
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:06
			who was a good brother and I was
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:07
			like man he's walking with him he's hanging
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:09
			out hey look take me there take me
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:11
			here but then this good brother is starting
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:14
			to get affected badly and I felt mad
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:15
			you gotta say something do I talk to
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:17
			his parents do I talk to him I
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19
			said amen I have kids they will eventually
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:22
			get older inshallah they might befriend bad people
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:23
			so I want someone to tell my daughter
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:26
			don't be you know what I mean so
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:28
			I told the the guy who I saw
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:30
			to be good so I said listen I'm
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:33
			telling you I thought a lot about this
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:34
			but I'm going to tell you because I
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:35
			care about you and I love you okay
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:38
			do not walk with this man again just
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:41
			don't hang out with him he's like really
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43
			I'm like trust me I know him very
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:44
			well you probably saw what he's doing anyway
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:47
			just just don't hang out with him he's
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49
			like okay and he took my advice sincerely
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:51
			apparently and he stopped hanging out with him
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:54
			now what happened the guy now is asking
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			him how come you're not coming how come
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:58
			you're not walking and hanging out with me
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			so he's like I don't worry he's like
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:02
			no no what happened he's like a brother
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:07
			magic told me brother magic told you right
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:10
			just I don't know anything don't lie brother
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:13
			magic told me so what happened this guy
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:14
			he's a lot younger than me he came
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:17
			right in my face he's like this did
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:19
			you tell him not to hang out with
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			me I'm like I'm your best friend all
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:24
			right this was many many years ago now
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:27
			we're different we're older right so I told
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:30
			him listen okay there might be good in
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:32
			you there might be good in him okay
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:36
			but your combination it does not work okay
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:37
			I'm just separating both of you both of
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:39
			you can be fine separately but when you
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:42
			get together it's like a problem happens subhanallah
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:46
			about 10 years later the man who I
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:48
			advised and he was upset that I cannot
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:50
			criticize him like your behavior is not the
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:52
			best 10 years later he's married with children
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:54
			and he is the one who reaches out
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			to me the most of the people that
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:59
			attended that time allahu akbar and you know
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:01
			as hard as it sound the advice I
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02
			gave him and I was kind of like
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:04
			you know you guys together it's not good
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:07
			wallah he says jazakallah khair subhanallah so inshallah
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:10
			eventually people will come to the parents that
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:12
			have problems with their children and so on
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13
			as they get older like you know what
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			mama baba you're the best I'm so sorry
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:18
			for the hardship I caused you you taught
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			me well may Allah make it easy for
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:21
			all of us and yes I do have
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			bad stories as well of people that never
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:24
			came back or maybe they were good and
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			then they moved out away from the deen
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:29
			so anyhow so he warned them then what
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:32
			happened do you guys believe that uh people
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:36
			believed or no we think all disbelieved okay
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:39
			I have a question for you who believed
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:43
			among samud who believed let's ask a question
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:46
			a little or a lot little or a
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:51
			lot little uh rich or the poor the
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:56
			fishway rich no some of the rich believed
		
00:49:56 --> 00:50:00
			but the majority where the next slide the
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:04
			poor yes and this is the sunnah of
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:08
			allah on earth subhanallah in authentic narration what
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:13
			happened heraclius the roman empire the leader of
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:17
			it he says the weak people are the
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:21
			major following of the prophets usually they're the
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:23
			ones who follow muhammad and the prophets that
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24
			were sent but I want to ask you
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:26
			a question why is that the case why
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:28
			do you think the majority of the people
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:30
			that accept islam muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33
			why are they of the poor and weak
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:36
			why what do you guys think help me
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:41
			go ahead the rich were arrogant corrected arrogance
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:44
			reject the truth excellent but what else what
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:45
			do you think you know this is you
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:49
			really have to think of it but yeah
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:54
			so islam promotes humbleness you know some sense
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:57
			of equality in certain things right paying zakah
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:59
			if you're not qualified you have to be
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:00
			demoted someone else is qualified it's not about
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:02
			money right and so on and so forth
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:06
			last one last one go ahead what is
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:10
			it hope oh mashallah very very very well
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:13
			said hope right because the poor people they
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:15
			have been oppressed for the longest time and
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:16
			then there's someone that may bring them the
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:19
			rights back and made them feel they're human
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:22
			beings made them feel they're valuable made them
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:24
			feel i'm not okay to be stepped upon
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:27
			so they listen and they respect that's why
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:29
			we have to keep this in mind that's
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:31
			the way the world works subhanallah so when
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:33
			people who come to islam they do not
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:38
			criticize them oh here comes another no people
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:41
			do that that's unacceptable right look at what
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:43
			he's wearing that's the majority of the followers
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:45
			of the religion they feel no hope anywhere
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:47
			in the world they saw hope in islam
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			i am valued though i'm poor i'm valued
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:51
			though i may not be as attractive i'm
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:55
			valued though my net minus i'm valued in
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:56
			this religion i love it so you have
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:59
			to be very respectful towards that as an
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:03
			authentic narration now allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala he
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:06
			says that when these weak people accepted islam
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:09
			do you think it was easy to mention
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:12
			it no it's very hard because they work
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:14
			for these elites they work for the leaders
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:17
			look what allah says there was a face
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:19
			-off allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says in the
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:25
			quran now they're what the leaders they're like
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:31
			i feel iman islam entered your heart and
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:33
			now they want to tell them and ask
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:35
			him a question ready do you want to
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:37
			confirm that did you really become muslim look
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:59
			what happened allah says do
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:03
			you guys really believe that salih is a
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:13
			messenger from god what did they reply focus
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:15
			i shouldn't appreciate the quran as much as
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:20
			you can they asked they asked do you
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:23
			believe salih is a prophet what would the
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:25
			answer be yes we believe salih is a
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:31
			prophet their belief was so strong their fear
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:34
			was completely gone and i want you to
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:37
			imagine the ones speaking may lose their job
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:39
			because they work for these people so they
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:43
			don't say yes salih is a what did
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:47
			they say we believe everything salih says yes
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:50
			he's a prophet prophet and every word he
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:53
			says we will follow and believe what kind
		
00:53:53 --> 00:53:56
			of iman what kind of confidence may allah
		
00:53:56 --> 00:54:00
			grant us such confidence say ameen unbelievable may
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:02
			allah make us proud of our religion because
		
00:54:02 --> 00:54:06
			they come to know they heard allah is
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:09
			one who provides they heard salih was always
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:12
			a good guy never lied about dollars never
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:14
			lied about food never lied about anything he's
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:17
			gonna lie about god no way he says
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:20
			that which is the truth respectful man it's
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:22
			right these people are arrogant that's why he's
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:24
			saying he's standing up for us and salih
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:26
			was actually from the very respected people so
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:29
			all that impacted them so they so strong
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:33
			so if they did not fear thamud you
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:35
			and i should not fear those who hate
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:37
			islam especially that we have a lot more
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:39
			rights than these weak people may allah make
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:41
			it easier for all of us fear it's
		
00:54:41 --> 00:54:43
			okay but not the fear to the extent
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:46
			that puts you away from the religion we
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:49
			want this we want this confidence like khaled
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:55
			bin walid he writes a letter to who
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:58
			he writes a letter to the leader the

00:56:43 --> 00:56:47
			heavy how can you beat these people because
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:51
			of the sweetness of worshipping allah so allah
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:53
			tells him i cannot do that not because
		
00:56:53 --> 00:56:55
			he cannot he said because i made a
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:58
			rule whoever dies never comes back you never
		
00:56:58 --> 00:57:01
			come back so he says yeah allah if
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:02
			that's the case i cannot come back and
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:05
			fight for your cause once again then tell
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:08
			the world about my situation and now allah
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:11
			told it to muhammad then the prophet told
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:13
			it to jabir and now i say in
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:17
			2023 how beautiful is that right then allah
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:20
			revealed the verse do not say about those
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:23
			who die in the path of allah don't
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:26
			say they're dead don't say they're and may
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:29
			allah accept all those brothers and sisters that
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:31
			died in the earthquake as shuhada say ameen
		
00:57:31 --> 00:57:34
			so allah says don't say these martyrs are
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:39
			dead they're alive may allah grant you the
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:42
			reward of martyrdom even if you die a
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:44
			regular death say ameen and that's what the
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:46
			prophet told us we can get it so
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:48
			now when they faced off and they were
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:51
			going back and forth the kuffar when they
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:53
			saw that they were so angry they said
		
00:57:55 --> 00:57:58
			okay you believe in what he sent we
		
00:57:58 --> 00:58:00
			will not say we don't believe he's a
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:02
			prophet we will say just like you we
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:06
			disbelieve in everything he says the other extreme
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:08
			then they get so angry why because they
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:13
			saw salih is impacting the community people are
		
00:58:13 --> 00:58:16
			accepting islam people are listening to what he's
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:19
			saying people are obeying him this is getting
		
00:58:19 --> 00:58:22
			out of control so now they get so
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:24
			angry and when you're angry and i'm angry
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:29
			what usually happens our true colors appear and
		
00:58:29 --> 00:58:32
			now they will share why they're not believing
		
00:58:32 --> 00:58:51
			ready they said foreign they
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:54
			said you want us to follow an average
		
00:58:54 --> 00:58:57
			human being from among us we would then
		
00:58:57 --> 00:59:00
			be truly misguided and insane why was he
		
00:59:00 --> 00:59:02
			chosen from all of us so they just
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:06
			exposed one of the real reasons why they
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:08
			never believe this whole time why him and
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:12
			not me why not me why him what's
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:14
			so special my average guy why the wahid
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:17
			nobody why is that you see how bad
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:20
			jealousy and envy can be it's very sad
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:22
			there's a very nice statement by a man
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:24
			his name is alex from mosey he says
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:30
			only poor people think someone else succeeding means
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:35
			they are failing only poor people think someone
		
00:59:35 --> 00:59:38
			else succeeding means they are failing if salih
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:41
			is succeeding that means the whole community succeeds
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:44
			it's not a competition in a way it's
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:47
			a compliment you do this i do this
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:48
			you attend we do that you give i
		
00:59:48 --> 00:59:51
			we all work together i rise you rise
		
00:59:51 --> 00:59:53
			you rise i rise you go down i
		
00:59:53 --> 00:59:55
			go down i go down you go down
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:57
			we're all in this together so they were
		
00:59:57 --> 00:59:59
			just so focused like why him why him
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:01
			and that's the disaster that many of us
		
01:00:01 --> 01:00:03
			may go through you know what happened in
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:06
			summary they looked at the one who was
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:10
			blessed they did not look at the source
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:14
			of the blessing if we're able to focus
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:16
			on that line inshallah which allah is teaching
		
01:00:16 --> 01:00:18
			us we will have a much better life
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:21
			one more time they were obsessed about the
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:23
			one who was blessed and they ignored did
		
01:00:23 --> 01:00:25
			not pay attention or whatever the case is
		
01:00:25 --> 01:00:28
			towards the one who is the source of
		
01:00:28 --> 01:00:30
			that blessing why why that make a difference
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:33
			because if they realize who is the source
		
01:00:33 --> 01:00:35
			they will know i can get what he
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:38
			gets you see what just happened there so
		
01:00:38 --> 01:00:40
			don't be jealous oh how come they got
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:42
			married before me they're not as method and
		
01:00:42 --> 01:00:45
			accomplished they're not as eloquent they're not as
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:48
			good looking what the one who got her
		
01:00:48 --> 01:00:50
			married is allah he can get you married
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:52
			simple it has nothing to do with her
		
01:00:52 --> 01:00:54
			or him it has to do with allah
		
01:00:54 --> 01:00:56
			the way he decided so once we look
		
01:00:56 --> 01:00:59
			at the everything changes so may allah grant
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:01
			us success so when you have this thinking
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:03
			now you're in the other end you're the
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:04
			receiving end now i'm not gonna talk about
		
01:01:04 --> 01:01:07
			people of samud i'll talk about salih specifically
		
01:01:07 --> 01:01:10
			when he comes to the conclusion i am
		
01:01:10 --> 01:01:13
			who i am because i worked hard yes
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:16
			or no no i am who i am
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:19
			because i have always been righteous no i
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:22
			am who i am because allah gave it
		
01:01:22 --> 01:01:25
			to me so when he keeps this in
		
01:01:25 --> 01:01:28
			mind he will be humble and will never
		
01:01:28 --> 01:01:32
			show off because since he gave it that
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:35
			means he can take it and just like
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:37
			how i have it today i may not
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:39
			have it tomorrow done so when we keep
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:42
			thinking of that anytime you succeed the success
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:46
			came from allah these people ignored the source
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:49
			focused on the one who's blessed and they
		
01:01:49 --> 01:01:51
			got ruined by that jealousy and envy may
		
01:01:51 --> 01:01:54
			allah protect us so what happened they're now
		
01:01:54 --> 01:01:56
			going all over the place you know like
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:58
			like a system error error error that's what
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:01
			they went through you're this you're nobody now
		
01:02:02 --> 01:02:05
			they curse him you're a liar not just
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:09
			that they say you're a liar you're bewitched
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:13
			now when someone starts resorting to bad name
		
01:02:13 --> 01:02:17
			calling you realize very likely is because they
		
01:02:17 --> 01:02:21
			are defeated there's nothing intellectual to talk about
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:23
			now so they went and just accused what
		
01:02:23 --> 01:02:26
			character shaming defaming and so on the talk
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:29
			about the content talk about what was sent
		
01:02:29 --> 01:02:31
			talk about what i said don't go into
		
01:02:31 --> 01:02:34
			like um bewitched bewitched i am magician i
		
01:02:34 --> 01:02:36
			am a liar tell me exactly what's going
		
01:02:36 --> 01:02:38
			on they couldn't so be careful if you
		
01:02:38 --> 01:02:41
			see yourself falling into that you're having a
		
01:02:41 --> 01:02:42
			discussion with someone no i think the right
		
01:02:42 --> 01:02:44
			thing to do is this and that then
		
01:02:44 --> 01:02:45
			they got everything like you know what you're
		
01:02:45 --> 01:02:46
			a loser you're gonna go to * anyways
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:49
			why right you know what i know you're
		
01:02:49 --> 01:02:51
			insincere how do you know he's insincere where's
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:55
			sincerity where is it where's sincerity sincerity is
		
01:02:55 --> 01:02:59
			the heart is the sincerity is in the
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:02
			heart right can you check that out well
		
01:03:02 --> 01:03:03
			now i'm a surgeon that bad don't don't
		
01:03:03 --> 01:03:06
			don't don't unbutton my shirt no matter who
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:07
			no matter who you are you will never
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:10
			know my intention not a single person here
		
01:03:10 --> 01:03:11
			knows my intention i can be the biggest
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:13
			show-off in the world i can be
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:14
			the biggest sincere man in the world you
		
01:03:14 --> 01:03:17
			will not know okay so what do you
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:19
			just mean based on what i say and
		
01:03:19 --> 01:03:23
			what i do you're not naive you can
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:26
			see signs but don't have a confirmation even
		
01:03:26 --> 01:03:29
			towards good people the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:31
			says if you ever want to praise someone
		
01:03:31 --> 01:03:33
			and you really want to do that do
		
01:03:33 --> 01:03:35
			not do not go with affirmation like do
		
01:03:35 --> 01:03:39
			not say i see taqwa in your eyes
		
01:03:39 --> 01:03:41
			where's taqwa where's shia i mean where is
		
01:03:41 --> 01:03:43
			he where's taqwa where's taqwa in my eyes
		
01:03:43 --> 01:03:46
			the prophet says taqwa is here taqwa is
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:46
			here it's in the heart you don't know
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
			taqi but what do you say i don't
		
01:03:51 --> 01:03:54
			praise on allah's behalf allah knows best i'm
		
01:03:54 --> 01:03:55
			not the ultimate judge but i think three
		
01:03:55 --> 01:03:59
			things i don't praise on allah's behalf allah
		
01:03:59 --> 01:04:02
			knows best and what's number three i think
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:04
			he is such and such shook the prerequisites
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:06
			because if you attach your heart so much
		
01:04:06 --> 01:04:10
			to the messenger and the messenger falls you
		
01:04:10 --> 01:04:12
			will fall that's why many people like oh
		
01:04:12 --> 01:04:14
			i came with the sheikh did that i'm
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:16
			not gonna respect islam because we got too
		
01:04:16 --> 01:04:18
			attached to the guy giving the message when
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:20
			we should have been so attached to the
		
01:04:20 --> 01:04:23
			message itself not the right but we're blessed
		
01:04:23 --> 01:04:26
			with muhammad the best messenger and the best
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:28
			message right may allah grant us all jannah
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:31
			so don't go to name calling be very
		
01:04:31 --> 01:04:33
			careful don't be like this guy in in
		
01:04:33 --> 01:04:36
			that toyota dealership what's your dealership i'll tell
		
01:04:36 --> 01:04:39
			you i took my 2012 toyota sienna van
		
01:04:39 --> 01:04:43
			all right okay so i took it because
		
01:04:43 --> 01:04:45
			there was a recall on the sliding door
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:47
			it's an electric sliding door you press it
		
01:04:47 --> 01:04:49
			it just opens by itself and then you
		
01:04:49 --> 01:04:51
			go in fantastic so i was struggling with
		
01:04:51 --> 01:04:53
			the door it was having having in terms
		
01:04:53 --> 01:04:55
			of opening issue but once i open it
		
01:04:55 --> 01:04:58
			it's still it's good so there was a
		
01:04:58 --> 01:05:00
			recall allahu akbar so i got to fix
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:02
			it at no cost so i go to
		
01:05:02 --> 01:05:05
			your dealership i give him my car a
		
01:05:05 --> 01:05:07
			few hours i wait there once i'm done
		
01:05:07 --> 01:05:08
			your sir your car is done we wash
		
01:05:08 --> 01:05:11
			that up for you as a complimentary wash
		
01:05:11 --> 01:05:12
			whatever i already paid for it through the
		
01:05:12 --> 01:05:15
			recall anyhow so then got the car so
		
01:05:15 --> 01:05:16
			i said let me just try it so
		
01:05:16 --> 01:05:19
			i open the door it's opening nice but
		
01:05:19 --> 01:05:21
			then it's sliding then it stops does not
		
01:05:21 --> 01:05:24
			lock so it just slides and it stops
		
01:05:24 --> 01:05:26
			so you can go in but it didn't
		
01:05:26 --> 01:05:28
			lock so what's the problem if you put
		
01:05:28 --> 01:05:30
			your hand it can easily just go right
		
01:05:30 --> 01:05:33
			but if you just properly open it and
		
01:05:33 --> 01:05:34
			there's no issues it will come and then
		
01:05:34 --> 01:05:35
			it will lock so it will not go
		
01:05:35 --> 01:05:37
			right and left so i told the guy
		
01:05:37 --> 01:05:39
			you know what the thank you for fixing
		
01:05:39 --> 01:05:41
			it and the belt and everything but i
		
01:05:41 --> 01:05:43
			never had this issue before like when i
		
01:05:43 --> 01:05:45
			open it yes i struggle but once i
		
01:05:45 --> 01:05:47
			go in it locks and now it's not
		
01:05:47 --> 01:05:49
			locking so anyone who is holding the door
		
01:05:49 --> 01:05:51
			it will wiggle so or slide so he
		
01:05:51 --> 01:05:53
			says i don't know i didn't touch this
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:55
			area man i just fixed the belt uh
		
01:05:55 --> 01:05:58
			that's the situation i said i appreciate that
		
01:05:58 --> 01:06:01
			sir but my car wasn't like that it
		
01:06:01 --> 01:06:02

01:06:05 --> 01:06:08
			area i fixed that belt over here i
		
01:06:08 --> 01:06:10
			said sir i do understand that but i
		
01:06:10 --> 01:06:12
			would have never came to fix a smaller
		
01:06:12 --> 01:06:15
			problem when a bigger one existed make sense
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:17
			i would have fixed this before the belt
		
01:06:17 --> 01:06:19
			keep it manual forget the electric he's like
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:21
			you know what man i there's nothing i
		
01:06:21 --> 01:06:22

01:06:42 --> 01:06:45
			but i said for you saying that you
		
01:06:45 --> 01:06:49
			just confirmed you ruined it that's exactly what
		
01:06:49 --> 01:06:50
			i told you doing that you're the one
		
01:06:50 --> 01:06:52
			who ruined it and you know it because
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:54
			he started name calling what does it have
		
01:06:54 --> 01:06:56
			to do with 10 years old inshallah 50
		
01:06:56 --> 01:06:57
			years old inshallah farhan drove it that doesn't
		
01:06:57 --> 01:07:01
			matter right doesn't make any difference okay it
		
01:07:01 --> 01:07:03
			never existed like that since i'm like okay
		
01:07:03 --> 01:07:05

01:07:07 --> 01:07:12
			usually laid back our lands were stolen we
		
01:07:12 --> 01:07:14
			have to do wallah you have to take
		
01:07:14 --> 01:07:15
			whatever you can within your within your means
		
01:07:15 --> 01:07:17
			you want to forgive forgive but when you
		
01:07:17 --> 01:07:19
			can forgive i forgive them because you can't
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:22
			do anything the proper forgiveness is when you
		
01:07:22 --> 01:07:23
			can knock him out and you say like
		
01:07:23 --> 01:07:24
			you know what i'm not going to do
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:30
			that that's the elite forgiveness right to be
		
01:07:30 --> 01:07:32

01:07:32 --> 01:07:33

01:09:02 --> 01:09:05
			is it from me but don't ever resort
		
01:09:05 --> 01:09:08
			to start calling the car old to start
		
01:09:08 --> 01:09:10
			saying how many miles it has on this
		
01:09:10 --> 01:09:11

01:09:11 --> 01:09:13
			like yes sir come on he's super nice
		
01:09:13 --> 01:09:15
			allah knows the intention the whole toyota corporation
		
01:09:15 --> 01:09:18
			shook them right anyhow then i drove off
		
01:09:18 --> 01:09:20
			so what's the moral of the story the
		
01:09:20 --> 01:09:22
			moral of the story we as a community
		
01:09:22 --> 01:09:24
			have to come together and buy me a
		
01:09:24 --> 01:09:28
			new minivan inshallah okay and we have to
		
01:09:28 --> 01:09:30
			get a honda not a tiara why to
		
01:09:30 --> 01:09:34
			rub it in his face by the way
		
01:09:34 --> 01:09:36
			the four nice souls in the crowd that
		
01:09:36 --> 01:09:38
			are thinking to open a gofundme page i'm
		
01:09:38 --> 01:09:40
			just joking a lot all right just go
		
01:09:40 --> 01:09:42
			give to the icd inshallah i'll get my
		
01:09:42 --> 01:09:45
			card differently may allah grant you may allah
		
01:09:45 --> 01:09:47
			bless you say amen so they start accusing
		
01:09:47 --> 01:09:49
			him and everything of that sort so then
		
01:09:49 --> 01:09:52
			they said there's nothing special so what do
		
01:09:52 --> 01:09:54
			they ask for a sign give me a
		
01:09:54 --> 01:09:58
			sign that you're a prophet question what's the
		
01:09:58 --> 01:10:01
			difference between the people of thamud and ad
		
01:10:01 --> 01:10:05
			ad i want to focus ad said you
		
01:10:05 --> 01:10:09
			did not come with a sign right there's
		
01:10:09 --> 01:10:13
			no bayina thamud said give us a sign
		
01:10:13 --> 01:10:17
			see the difference so when they ask for
		
01:10:17 --> 01:10:23
			a sign if you're really truthful show us
		
01:10:23 --> 01:10:25
			a sign now here you have to appreciate
		
01:10:25 --> 01:10:29
			something salih alayhi salam does not really snap
		
01:10:29 --> 01:10:30
			on them because if someone speaks to you
		
01:10:30 --> 01:10:32
			like that you would snap right you're a
		
01:10:32 --> 01:10:34
			loser you're a magician you're possessed you're crazy
		
01:10:34 --> 01:10:37
			you would lose your cool but he was
		
01:10:37 --> 01:10:39
			able to maintain himself allahumma barik may allah
		
01:10:39 --> 01:10:41
			make us like salih alayhi salam amazing he
		
01:10:41 --> 01:10:44
			could have snapped and said everything but he's
		
01:10:44 --> 01:10:45
			like you know what no i'm not going
		
01:10:45 --> 01:10:47
			to do that and he prayed to allah
		
01:10:47 --> 01:10:48
			subhanahu wa ta'ala ya allah help me
		
01:10:48 --> 01:10:50
			with my people ya allah help me allah
		
01:10:50 --> 01:10:51
			in one narration not in the quran is
		
01:10:51 --> 01:10:53
			a books of tafsir it says that they
		
01:10:53 --> 01:10:56
			requested the sign specifically but this is not
		
01:10:56 --> 01:10:58
			in the quran's tafsir just to maybe just
		
01:10:58 --> 01:11:00
			add to the story what happened they said
		
01:11:00 --> 01:11:02
			we want a specific camel this kind of
		
01:11:02 --> 01:11:04
			color this kind of size this isn't that
		
01:11:04 --> 01:11:07
			why why a camel remember the miracle is
		
01:11:07 --> 01:11:10
			related to the people and they lived where
		
01:11:10 --> 01:11:13
			in the arabian peninsula and camels were the
		
01:11:13 --> 01:11:14
			thing at that time and allah knows best
		
01:11:14 --> 01:11:16
			so they asked for something that specific or
		
01:11:16 --> 01:11:19
			allah shows it allah knows best and what's
		
01:11:19 --> 01:11:23
			our miracle the quran so their their quran
		
01:11:23 --> 01:11:25
			is the camel at that time in addition
		
01:11:25 --> 01:11:26
			to what salih alayhi salam have said okay
		
01:11:26 --> 01:11:31
			what happened there eventually the camel came exactly
		
01:11:31 --> 01:11:34
			how they asked and this was an absolute
		
01:11:34 --> 01:11:38
			shock and let's hear the three things about
		
01:11:38 --> 01:11:40
			the camel ready because these are very very
		
01:11:40 --> 01:11:46
			important points number one he says a sign
		
01:11:46 --> 01:11:50
			from your lord has come this is a
		
01:11:50 --> 01:11:52
			camel that belongs to allah there's no owner
		
01:11:52 --> 01:11:58
			on earth for it who's the owner let
		
01:11:58 --> 01:12:01
			it eat from allah's land it will eat
		
01:12:01 --> 01:12:03
			by itself don't feed it it will take
		
01:12:03 --> 01:12:07
			care of everything okay all right and don't
		
01:12:07 --> 01:12:10
			you dare touch it don't scare it don't
		
01:12:10 --> 01:12:15
			hurt it in any way then you'll be
		
01:12:15 --> 01:12:19
			severely punished okay then he says and tell
		
01:12:19 --> 01:12:22
			them that the way the water will be
		
01:12:22 --> 01:12:24
			drank remember the well that i mentioned earlier
		
01:12:24 --> 01:12:26
			in the session previous session i'll mention again
		
01:12:26 --> 01:12:30
			for those that came later so there's several
		
01:12:30 --> 01:12:33
			wells or so the camel used to go
		
01:12:33 --> 01:12:35
			to one well the camel used to go
		
01:12:35 --> 01:12:38
			to what one well so the salih alayhi
		
01:12:38 --> 01:12:39
			salam is telling him number one you know
		
01:12:39 --> 01:12:41
			this is a camel from allah this is
		
01:12:41 --> 01:12:44
			your sign let it eat whatever it goes
		
01:12:44 --> 01:12:48
			don't touch it you'll be punished painfully number
		
01:12:48 --> 01:12:52
			two it will drink one day and the
		
01:12:52 --> 01:12:55
			day it drinks you don't drink from any
		
01:12:55 --> 01:12:59
			well one more time all the water in
		
01:12:59 --> 01:13:02
			the city no one is allowed to drink
		
01:13:02 --> 01:13:05
			the water the day the camel is to
		
01:13:05 --> 01:13:08
			drink from the water next day the camel
		
01:13:08 --> 01:13:11
			will not drink the water you guys drink
		
01:13:11 --> 01:13:13
			the water so every other day you have
		
01:13:13 --> 01:13:17
			what water resources fantastic fantastic then he says
		
01:13:17 --> 01:13:25
			another ayah and don't touch it different word
		
01:13:25 --> 01:13:30
			first one was second time here what severe
		
01:13:30 --> 01:13:35
			catastrophic punishments or painful catastrophic number three what's
		
01:13:35 --> 01:13:39
			the third rule the day the camel drinks
		
01:13:39 --> 01:13:43
			from the water you the one tafsir says
		
01:13:43 --> 01:13:46
			drink from its milk so one day you
		
01:13:46 --> 01:13:48
			drink water and the other day you drink
		
01:13:48 --> 01:13:50
			the milk from the camel the day the
		
01:13:50 --> 01:13:53
			camel drinks from the water third time do
		
01:13:53 --> 01:13:55
			not touch the camel then you have the
		
01:13:55 --> 01:14:00
			punishment will be so fast and swift so
		
01:14:00 --> 01:14:04
			it will be painful catastrophic and very quickly
		
01:14:04 --> 01:14:10
			subhanallah allah was always close and near but
		
01:14:10 --> 01:14:13
			their behavior made the punishment now very near
		
01:14:13 --> 01:14:15
			allah is always there for us so don't
		
01:14:15 --> 01:14:18
			substitute allah's mercy to allah's anger allah's mercy
		
01:14:18 --> 01:14:20
			has surpassed his anger may allah make it
		
01:14:20 --> 01:14:22
			easy for all of us and remember just
		
01:14:22 --> 01:14:25
			like how they cannot harm that camel and
		
01:14:25 --> 01:14:27
			they have to respect the camel we too
		
01:14:27 --> 01:14:29
			have to respect the quran the miracle allah
		
01:14:29 --> 01:14:32
			has given us think of the quran respect
		
01:14:32 --> 01:14:35
			it don't make jokes out of it and
		
01:14:35 --> 01:14:41
			allah says help me allah said we made
		
01:14:41 --> 01:14:45
			the quran easy to memorize easy to understand
		
01:14:45 --> 01:14:49
			easy to apply easy to live by that's
		
01:14:49 --> 01:14:52
			what allah says then allah says who is
		
01:14:52 --> 01:14:54
			willing to take on this task on themselves
		
01:14:54 --> 01:14:56
			who is willing to take the quran seriously
		
01:14:56 --> 01:14:58
			so may allah make us of them ya
		
01:14:58 --> 01:15:00
			rabb it's a miracle to be proud of
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:02

01:15:02 --> 01:15:05
			can and learn and wallah you see isn't
		
01:15:05 --> 01:15:07
			it a miracle that people cannot put one
		
01:15:07 --> 01:15:12
			sentence one sentence in arabic they cannot put
		
01:15:12 --> 01:15:13
			it together but they had the whole quran

01:16:55 --> 01:16:56
			i told him he will read it not
		
01:16:56 --> 01:16:59
			just the meaning he will read it word
		
01:16:59 --> 01:17:02

01:17:52 --> 01:17:55
			accepted islam in that class after this zero
		
01:17:55 --> 01:18:03

01:18:21 --> 01:18:24
			face and reputation in that school come on
		
01:18:24 --> 01:18:26

01:18:26 --> 01:18:27
			how did you do that and like can
		
01:18:27 --> 01:18:29
			we do that in the bible quiet which
		
01:18:29 --> 01:18:33
			edition which edition 70 plus editions right our
		
01:18:33 --> 01:18:36
			quran with allah's help is preserved right with
		
01:18:36 --> 01:18:39
			different dialects in certain ayat when he brought
		
01:18:39 --> 01:18:41
			the miracle do you think they believed so
		
01:18:44 --> 01:18:46
			how come you guys are so confident no
		
01:18:47 --> 01:18:50
			why in my story said half the class
		
01:18:50 --> 01:18:52
			it was a miracle but why you guys
		
01:18:52 --> 01:18:59
			said no that's your right allah says what
		
01:18:59 --> 01:19:05
			was the reaction this was the reaction they
		
01:19:05 --> 01:19:09
			ignored everything you know why not why they
		
01:19:09 --> 01:19:12
			ignored but they did not need the sign
		
01:19:12 --> 01:19:15
			they asked for and many of us sometimes
		
01:19:15 --> 01:19:17
			like allah show me the sign show me
		
01:19:17 --> 01:19:19
			this if you're really there do that you
		
01:19:19 --> 01:19:21
			don't need it you have enough your existence
		
01:19:21 --> 01:19:24
			is a sign allah said look at yourself
		
01:19:24 --> 01:19:26
			don't even look outside don't even turn on
		
01:19:26 --> 01:19:28
			the light think of yourself your heart your
		
01:19:28 --> 01:19:31
			stomach your cells your brain think of it
		
01:19:32 --> 01:19:36
			what do you want a sign you're a
		
01:19:36 --> 01:19:40
			sign yourself and be very careful to ask
		
01:19:40 --> 01:19:44
			allah for a customized sign is it haram
		
01:19:44 --> 01:19:48
			no nothing it's haram but be very careful
		
01:19:48 --> 01:19:50
			if you ask allah if you're there please
		
01:19:50 --> 01:19:54
			move the speaker okay assuming you're not questioning
		
01:19:54 --> 01:19:56
			allah but just want to strengthen your faith
		
01:19:56 --> 01:19:59
			why because if it happens and the speaker
		
01:19:59 --> 01:20:03
			is moved and you don't believe allah punishes
		
01:20:03 --> 01:20:06
			that person double any one human being on
		
01:20:06 --> 01:20:08
			earth so i'm not going to ask for
		
01:20:08 --> 01:20:11
			signs smart person and that's why the people
		
01:20:11 --> 01:20:14
			of mecca did an authentic hadith they went
		
01:20:14 --> 01:20:17
			to the prophet say sallallahu alayhi wasallam make
		
01:20:17 --> 01:20:22
			dua to your lord people of mecca told
		
01:20:22 --> 01:20:25
			muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam tell your god to
		
01:20:25 --> 01:20:27
			make the mountain of safa turn it into
		
01:20:27 --> 01:20:29
			gold can allah do that yes he can
		
01:20:30 --> 01:20:32
			so then muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam made dua
		
01:20:32 --> 01:20:34
			to allah ya allah ya allah turn the
		
01:20:34 --> 01:20:36
			mountain to gold because he really wants the
		
01:20:36 --> 01:20:37
			best for his people and thinking this will
		
01:20:37 --> 01:20:40
			be the best who comes to the prophet
		
01:20:40 --> 01:20:50
			who comes jibreel alaihissalam and he tells you
		
01:20:50 --> 01:20:53
			if you want i can turn the mountain
		
01:20:53 --> 01:20:56
			to gold but under the condition if they
		
01:20:56 --> 01:21:02
			do not believe after that they'll be punished
		
01:21:02 --> 01:21:05
			in a way no human was ever punished
		
01:21:05 --> 01:21:09
			before or i do not turn the mountain
		
01:21:09 --> 01:21:11
			to gold but i will leave the door
		
01:21:11 --> 01:21:15
			of repentance open then what did he choose
		
01:21:15 --> 01:21:18
			that the door of repentance open fair enough
		
01:21:18 --> 01:21:21
			because there are so many miracles they did
		
01:21:21 --> 01:21:24
			not need an extra customized one there's a
		
01:21:24 --> 01:21:26

01:24:30 --> 01:24:31
			sign is that actually that one sign now
		
01:24:31 --> 01:24:34
			this brother allahu ta'ala i don't judge
		
01:24:34 --> 01:24:37
			on allah's behalf but generally when someone asks
		
01:24:37 --> 01:24:38
			for a sign and does not end up
		
01:24:38 --> 01:24:42
			believing they are in a disaster alhamdulillah so
		
01:24:42 --> 01:24:43
			far he's a muslim i'm telling you this
		
01:24:43 --> 01:24:45
			about 12 13 years later alhamdulillah he's still
		
01:24:45 --> 01:24:49
			muslim because he's gonna be pretty deadly so
		
01:24:49 --> 01:24:51
			here they ask for the sign what what
		
01:24:51 --> 01:24:53
			did they do they basically rejected it coming
		
01:24:53 --> 01:24:56
			to the end rejected it well well well
		
01:24:56 --> 01:25:01
			after they rejected salih was very disappointed he
		
01:25:01 --> 01:25:23
			says you
		
01:25:23 --> 01:25:29
			feel it's reaching the end they he said
		
01:25:29 --> 01:25:30
			to them why why you guys are always
		
01:25:30 --> 01:25:33
			like that why look why you you have
		
01:25:33 --> 01:25:35
			the free will he's a test you have
		
01:25:35 --> 01:25:37
			the option to believe you have the option
		
01:25:37 --> 01:25:38
			to disbelieve why do you choose the wrong
		
01:25:38 --> 01:25:40
			over the right what's the matter with you
		
01:25:40 --> 01:25:43
			just seek allah's forgiveness after all that he
		
01:25:43 --> 01:25:46
			still says make tawbah allah's door is still
		
01:25:46 --> 01:25:48
			open before it's too late seek allah's forgiveness
		
01:25:48 --> 01:25:50
			may allah not make us regret too late
		
01:25:50 --> 01:25:52
			see i mean these two are not being
		
01:25:52 --> 01:25:55
			moved so they tell salih what does it
		
01:25:55 --> 01:25:59
			mean you're bad luck anything that goes wrong
		
01:25:59 --> 01:26:00
			in the city that day they didn't sell
		
01:26:00 --> 01:26:04
			enough someone got sick the rain was delayed
		
01:26:04 --> 01:26:06
			water was not as clean they said it's
		
01:26:06 --> 01:26:10
			because of salih and his people so salih
		
01:26:10 --> 01:26:11
			says now we're bad luck now now you're
		
01:26:11 --> 01:26:14
			taking omens you had you had a problem
		
01:26:14 --> 01:26:16

01:26:16 --> 01:26:19
			in luck right like you're bad luck knock
		
01:26:19 --> 01:26:23
			on wood may allah protect us so then
		
01:26:23 --> 01:26:27
			he says and he says before that allah
		
01:26:27 --> 01:26:28
			is the one who destined things what did
		
01:26:28 --> 01:26:30
			they show you again they're focused on the
		
01:26:30 --> 01:26:32
			person not the source do you see what
		
01:26:32 --> 01:26:36
			has happened you are bad luck who's the
		
01:26:36 --> 01:26:38
			source of the qadar allah subhanahu wa ta
		
01:26:38 --> 01:26:41
			'ala so then brothers and sisters they gang
		
01:26:41 --> 01:26:45
			up to do what very very bad plan
		
01:26:45 --> 01:26:49
			now they come together the elite to go
		
01:26:49 --> 01:26:53
			end that sign and kill the camel he
		
01:26:53 --> 01:26:55
			says don't touch it now they don't just
		
01:26:55 --> 01:26:57

01:27:09 --> 01:27:14
			'ala says they asked one of the wickedest
		
01:27:14 --> 01:27:18
			of people the worst of them his name
		
01:27:18 --> 01:27:23
			was so then the ashqaha went to the
		
01:27:23 --> 01:27:28
			camel and salih he felt they're plotting to
		
01:27:28 --> 01:27:31
			kill the camel and he knows the sign
		
01:27:31 --> 01:27:35
			they rejected the sign they will eliminate our
		
01:27:35 --> 01:27:37
			quran you want to reject and not read
		
01:27:37 --> 01:27:39
			from it the camel they want to slaughter
		
01:27:39 --> 01:27:46
			it so he says this is allah's camel
		
01:27:46 --> 01:27:48
			let it drink from the water do not
		
01:27:48 --> 01:27:56
			disturb it he grabbed the camel grabbed the
		
01:27:56 --> 01:27:59
			sword with the other hand and he slaughtered
		
01:27:59 --> 01:28:03
			the camel killed the camel salih was sad
		
01:28:03 --> 01:28:07
			salih was devastated and allah says not just
		
01:28:07 --> 01:28:09
			who killed how many people killed it one
		
01:28:09 --> 01:28:14
			and another ayah allah said what what does
		
01:28:14 --> 01:28:17
			that mean they killed it it's only one
		
01:28:17 --> 01:28:19
			man because they did not stop him though
		
01:28:19 --> 01:28:23
			they could have and those who see oppression
		
01:28:23 --> 01:28:24
			and they could have done something about it
		
01:28:24 --> 01:28:27
			they could have within their capacity and means
		
01:28:27 --> 01:28:29
			and they do not stop it you are
		
01:28:29 --> 01:28:34
			just as guilty as the oppressor they killed
		
01:28:34 --> 01:28:37
			it was one man ashqaha when he killed
		
01:28:37 --> 01:28:40
			it look at the audacity he killed the
		
01:28:40 --> 01:28:46
			camel then he says you're a prophet show

01:31:37 --> 01:31:41
			allah says they plotted allah subhanah says they
		
01:31:41 --> 01:31:47
			plotted when who else plotted you want to
		
01:31:47 --> 01:31:51
			plot against our prophets you want to plot
		
01:31:51 --> 01:31:53
			against my servants who are righteous i will
		
01:31:53 --> 01:31:56
			plot and allah's plans are the ones that
		
01:31:56 --> 01:31:58
			will always go through brothers and sisters the
		
01:31:58 --> 01:32:01
			day has come it's over all of a
		
01:32:01 --> 01:32:06
			sudden third day is done on that day
		
01:32:06 --> 01:32:14
			a very loud noise very very loud noise
		
01:32:14 --> 01:32:16
			they're killing them the noise and you know
		
01:32:16 --> 01:32:20
			that's very loud sounds can kill about 185
		
01:32:20 --> 01:32:22
			decibels i was reading about it can actually
		
01:32:22 --> 01:32:28
			make your lungs explode very loud i'm going
		
01:32:28 --> 01:32:32
			crazy like that subhanallah the camel very likely
		
01:32:32 --> 01:32:35
			the camel yelled and cried as it was
		
01:32:35 --> 01:32:37
			being hurt suffer the way you made the
		
01:32:37 --> 01:32:41
			animals suffer cry non-stop and yell as
		
01:32:41 --> 01:32:43
			loud for the sound is going to be
		
01:32:43 --> 01:32:46
			very disturbing to you it was so loud
		
01:32:46 --> 01:32:50
			the second punishment so so loud and the
		
01:32:50 --> 01:32:54
			earthquake took place their homes were becoming to
		
01:32:54 --> 01:33:01
			collapse and the houses were being crushed and
		
01:33:01 --> 01:33:04
			from allah's rahmah subhanallah some ulama said that's
		
01:33:04 --> 01:33:07
			why in the dwellings of salih today between
		
01:33:07 --> 01:33:09
			medina and tabuk some of their homes still
		
01:33:09 --> 01:33:12
			exist still it's a little bit not the
		
01:33:12 --> 01:33:14
			fancy homes are on the mountains all that
		
01:33:14 --> 01:33:16
			is gone so when this is happening now
		
01:33:16 --> 01:33:19
			they realize salih was right salih was right
		
01:33:19 --> 01:33:21
			they realized it before this happened but now
		
01:33:21 --> 01:33:25
			it's way too late allah says all the
		
01:33:25 --> 01:33:28
			things that they rejected salih for status didn't
		
01:33:28 --> 01:33:31
			benefit you the money that you sold your
		
01:33:31 --> 01:33:33
			faith for the money is not benefiting you
		
01:33:33 --> 01:33:36
			the family you had you gave up all
		
01:33:36 --> 01:33:38
			your family for that thing never benefited you
		
01:33:38 --> 01:33:42
			may allah not make us go through this
		
01:33:43 --> 01:33:44
			because you know what happens yom qiyamah one
		
01:33:44 --> 01:33:47
			of the most painful ahadith about the day
		
01:33:47 --> 01:33:50
			of judgment allah subhanallah shares with us people
		
01:33:50 --> 01:33:52
			actually in the break time someone asked me
		
01:33:52 --> 01:33:54
			in the break how are you telling us
		
01:33:54 --> 01:33:56
			stories yom qiyamah this happened this happened this
		
01:33:56 --> 01:33:58
			happened and yom qiyamah never took place allah's
		
01:33:58 --> 01:34:01
			telling you in the present form to basically
		
01:34:01 --> 01:34:04
			affirm it's happening so allah's telling you what's
		
01:34:04 --> 01:34:05
			going to happen in the future and a
		
01:34:05 --> 01:34:09
			very famous line allah knew what happened and
		
01:34:09 --> 01:34:11
			allah knows what is happening and allah knows
		
01:34:11 --> 01:34:14
			what will and i'll do the fourth one
		
01:34:14 --> 01:34:16
			and allah knows what will happen if something
		
01:34:16 --> 01:34:20
			else has happened right so allah's sharing the
		
01:34:20 --> 01:34:21
			future with us so he says a man
		
01:34:21 --> 01:34:23
			will come at the end of time yom
		
01:34:23 --> 01:34:25
			qiyamah and he's being punished he says ya
		
01:34:25 --> 01:34:29
			allah i will give up the whole world
		
01:34:29 --> 01:34:31
			just save me for one day i'll give
		
01:34:31 --> 01:34:33
			up everything the billions i had the fame
		
01:34:33 --> 01:34:36
			i had the influence i had everything i
		
01:34:36 --> 01:34:38
			have i'll give it all up just save
		
01:34:38 --> 01:34:41
			me allah tells them i asked you to
		
01:34:41 --> 01:34:44
			give up a lot less than that and
		
01:34:44 --> 01:34:48
			you said no how painful is that i
		
01:34:48 --> 01:34:51
			just said for example cut your hours of
		
01:34:51 --> 01:34:53
			sleep for example instead of eight make it
		
01:34:53 --> 01:34:54
			seven and a half to wake up for
		
01:34:54 --> 01:34:57
			half hour now you're gonna give up your
		
01:34:57 --> 01:34:59
			life for one day i asked you for
		
01:34:59 --> 01:35:02
			a lot less that was doable oh hellfire
		
01:35:02 --> 01:35:04
			all this and i told you respect your
		
01:35:04 --> 01:35:09
			parents right you were unjustifiably disobeying them unjustifiably
		
01:35:09 --> 01:35:12
			disrespecting them what are you doing i'll give
		
01:35:12 --> 01:35:15
			everything it's too late right oh it's so
		
01:35:15 --> 01:35:18
			hot in here i told you wear respected
		
01:35:18 --> 01:35:24
			islamic clothing okay it's sweating and now hellfire
		
01:35:24 --> 01:35:26
			came what was worse the son of the
		
01:35:26 --> 01:35:29
			dunya or the jahannam of akhira i asked
		
01:35:29 --> 01:35:31
			you for a lot less it's too late
		
01:35:31 --> 01:35:33
			may allah make it easy for us say
		
01:35:33 --> 01:35:35
			ameen then allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
		
01:35:35 --> 01:35:43
			they became like sticks and then they became
		
01:35:43 --> 01:35:45
			completely destroyed and the buildings collapsed and all
		
01:35:45 --> 01:35:48
			of them and the last remark salih alaihissalam
		
01:35:48 --> 01:35:51
			he says is this one this is the
		
01:35:51 --> 01:35:54
			last one he says the following and this
		
01:35:54 --> 01:35:55
			is maybe the first time he goes into
		
01:35:55 --> 01:35:59
			like judging them in a way he says
		
01:36:00 --> 01:36:02
			salih was so sad because allah saved him
		
01:36:02 --> 01:36:05
			and saved the believers from allah's mercy then
		
01:36:05 --> 01:36:11
			he said to them i told you the
		
01:36:11 --> 01:36:13
			message i told you the truth i advised
		
01:36:13 --> 01:36:17
			i wanted the best for you but you
		
01:36:17 --> 01:36:19
			guys do not like those who advise you
		
01:36:19 --> 01:36:22
			you do not give room to be having
		
01:36:22 --> 01:36:24
			any constructive criticism you always want to do
		
01:36:24 --> 01:36:26
			your way and own your way and you
		
01:36:26 --> 01:36:28
			were never willing to change your way even
		
01:36:28 --> 01:36:31
			knowing it's wrong so may allah not make
		
01:36:31 --> 01:36:34
			us like them so be the one as
		
01:36:34 --> 01:36:38
			amon khattab says may allah have mercy on
		
01:36:38 --> 01:36:41
			the one who gifts me my mistakes because
		
01:36:41 --> 01:36:44
			when you know your mistakes that's how you
		
01:36:44 --> 01:36:46
			improve you see what's your shortcoming you take
		
01:36:46 --> 01:36:48
			it to the next level so may allah
		
01:36:48 --> 01:36:50
			make us of those that give proper advice
		
01:36:50 --> 01:36:55
			and receive proper advice and salih moved alaihissalam
		
01:36:55 --> 01:36:59
			and then another prophet came and who is
		
01:36:59 --> 01:37:05
			that prophet shuaib alaihissalam we'll see you march
		
01:37:05 --> 01:37:07
			10th inshallah
