			We believe in Him and we put our
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			trust in Him.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			We seek refuge in Allah from the evils
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			of our souls and from the evils of
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			our deeds.

			We bear witness that there is none worthy
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			of worship except Allah, there is none worthy

			We bear witness that Muhammad is His servant
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			and Messenger.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			May Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			him and his family and companions.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			May Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			him and his family and companions.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:23
			Allah says in His Holy Book, I seek
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			Compassionate.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			I
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:56
			seek
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			Compassionate.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Early in the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			'ala, He tells us about the fall of
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			Iblis.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			He tells us about the fall of Iblis
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			who had a position of high rank amongst
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			the angels.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			Some say above the angels.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:28
			But his reality came out because Allah wanted
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			to teach us that it is not the
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			external that matters, but rather your heart's deep
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			connection with Allah that truly matters.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			Scholars, they say that Iblis did not lack
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:43
			the worship needed to please God, but rather
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			he lacked the love of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			ta'ala.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			Umar radiyallahu ta'ala anhu, he took very
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			good care of those governors that were under
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			him when he was the khalifa.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			And he watched them very closely, meaning he
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			wanted them to be par excellence spiritually.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			And it's mentioned that once he wrote a
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			letter to one of his governors, Abu Musa
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			al-Ash'ari radiyallahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			And he said to Abu Musa, he said
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			to him, مَنْ خَلَصَتْ نِيَتُهُ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ He said a very
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			profound statement.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			He said, whoever purifies their intention, whoever has
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			sincerity in their intention.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			And what that means is that there's no
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			ulterior objective behind what they're doing.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			It is only for the sake of Allah
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			He said, whoever purifies, khulus, makes that intention
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			pure, no motivation other than Allah.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ Then
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will suffice for
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			this person between them and their interactions with
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:55
			other.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			Umar radiyallahu ta'ala, he saw the importance
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			of ikhlas, sincerity, which is an action of
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			the heart as the most important thing.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			And then he said to him, وَمَن تَزَيَّنَ
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			لِلنَّاسِ بِغَيْرِ مَا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ شَانَهُ
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			اللَّهُ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِن ذَٰلِكَ He says, وَمَن
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			تَزَيَّنَ and whoever just shows something that is
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			not within themselves, that is not within their
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			hearts.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:31
			شَانَهُ It means disgrace the person.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			And it's for this reason that Ali radiyallahu
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			ta'ala and the sahaba learned this lesson.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			They learned the lesson from the fall of
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			Iblis that it didn't matter what your external
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			showed, what mattered was what the heart actually
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			had within it.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			And so they spent a lot of time
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			working on cultivating the correct thinking, the correct
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			thoughts.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			Hearts that were constantly thinking about the pleasure
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			How can I please Allah?
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			Not externally, how can right now in my
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			thoughts I can make my thoughts in a
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			way that Allah is pleased with me.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			Ali radiyallahu ta'ala and he also taught
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			us this internal focus.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:19
			مَنْ كَانَ ظَاهِرُهُ أَرْجَحْ مِنْ بَاطِنِهِ خَفَّ مِيزَانُهُ
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ Ali radiyallahu ta'ala said whoever
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			is zahir, zahir your external.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			Whoever is external.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			Is arjah min baltini, is better.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			Is better than their internal state.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			خَفَّ مِيزَانِ Then your scale will be light
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:36
			on the day of judgment.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			Because it doesn't matter what you do, it
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			matters how heavy your deeds are.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			And the weight of deeds is judged by
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			your sincerity, your ikhlas that you have when
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			you're doing that deed.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			So Ali, he's teaching us radiyallahu ta'ala,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			he's saying stop focusing on your external ibadah,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			your external this, your external that.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			He's saying no if you make your batin,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:04
			arjah, stronger, better than your internal, your internal
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			better than your external.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			Then your scales will be heavy on the
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			day of judgment.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			Ali radiyallahu ta'ala is teaching us something
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			profound.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			He's teaching us to be people of depth.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			To further yourself you must dig within your
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			heart and your mind.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			And you must better yourself.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Your heart must be forced to remember Allah.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			Because deeds will be weighed according to the
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			level of their sincerity.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39
			Now sincerity brothers and sisters is a byproduct
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			of something else.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			A mother will jump in harm's way to
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			save her daughter or her child.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			Out of pure love.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			There's no mathing.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			There's no mathing happening when the mother jumps
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			in front to save the child.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			There's no calculations happening.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			It's just instantaneous response.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			Because of the deep longing and love.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			So there's ikhlas in that moment when that
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			mother jumps in the way to save that
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			child.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			There's nothing but pure love forcing that action.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			The calculation happening in the mother's heart in
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			that millisecond is my intense love that I
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21
			have.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			One time the Prophet ﷺ he stood up
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			to pray in the middle of the night.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			And Aisha tells us this story.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			Because it is ikhlas, it is that sincerity
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			that must be developed in all the actions.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:42
			She says, When he would stand up at
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			night he would pray.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			Until his feet began to swell.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:56
			She said, I don't understand what's happening.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			She says, Are you going to do all
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			of this?
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:05
			وَقَدَ غُفِرَ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِن ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			تَأَخَّرَ All of your sins have been forgiven
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			Ya Rasulullah.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Why don't you get some rest?
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			Why don't you lay down?
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			So when the Prophet is standing and she
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:16
			objects.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			She's saying, why are you doing this?
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			Your sins are forgiving.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			As I said, it wasn't mathing for her.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			It wasn't making sense.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			But the Prophet ﷺ took her to a
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			deeper place.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			He said these profound words.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			He said there's something deeper happening in this
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			relationship with Allah.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:40
			He said to her, Look at the profound
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			depth in his heart.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			He says, wait, no.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			Like a mother jumping in front of the
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			child.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			It's just a reaction.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			He goes, wait, hold on.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			Wait, shouldn't I be grateful?
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			Shouldn't I be grateful?
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			This is a love-based relationship here.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			And that love was built by the remembrance
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			of God and focusing the heart on Allah,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			not focusing on the external actions.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:11
			The Prophet ﷺ's focus was on the internal
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			connection to Allah.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			The ability to close your eyes in this
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			moment, right now.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			Right now in this moment, the ability to
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			close your eyes in this moment and have
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			a deep connection with Allah.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			No matter where you're at.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:27
			No matter what you're doing.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			You're on the court.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:29
			You're out of breath.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:30
			You just came back.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			Maybe you made a shout or missed it,
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:33
			brick.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:33
			I don't know.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			But you're on the court in a moment
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			that you would think you're distant from God.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			But in that moment, you're able to just
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			in your heart say, Ya Rabbi, I love
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			you.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			Ya Allah, I love you.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			Ya Allah, I need you.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			Ya Allah, I'm sorry.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			So many of us are so distant.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			It's so hard for us to reconnect.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			What I'm saying is in this moment you
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:56
			reconnect.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			In every moment of your life, you build
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			a heart that is constantly remembering Allah.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			That is where the depth of action is
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			found.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			Without which actions mean nothing.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			They're just external shells of worship.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			They're just external.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			A deep awareness of His presence is what's
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			established through true remembrance of God.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			And I said you could do that in
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:21
			the gym, on the court.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			You could do it anywhere.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			You should do it everywhere.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			Because that is what gives depth to everything
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:29
			that we do.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			We are reminded by a very powerful narration.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			Because the Prophet taught us when he passed
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			away, I have left you everything you need.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			You don't need anything after this.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			If you just hold on to my words,
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			and you hold on to the Kitab of
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			Allah, I got you covered for everything He
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:51
			said to us.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			Sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			So if the heart is not worked on,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			what happens?
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			If you don't build that ability to remember
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			Allah even while in the gym, or even
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			while at home playing with your children, whatever,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			if you don't build that, what happens?
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			Well I remind you of a Hadith that
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			is one of the scariest I've ever read.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he said that
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			the first people to be questioned on the
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			Day of Judgment, and I will read the
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			whole Hadith because it's profound.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:28
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he said, The first
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			to be questioned on the Day of Judgment
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			are three people.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ عِلْمًا A person who God
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			gave knowledge of the Deen.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى Allah will ask this person,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			مَا صَنَعْتَ فِي مَا عَلَّمْتَهُ What did you
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			do with that knowledge you were given?
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي I stood throughout the day and
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			night.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			I taught, I did this, I did that.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى كَذَبْتَ Allah will say, no
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			you're lying.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			That wasn't your reality inside.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			That's why I'm speaking about sincerity, developing a
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			reality that is constantly connected to Allah subhanahu
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:09
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			Wake yourself up here before you are waking
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			up on this moment.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:18
			Question your intentions now before they're questioned in
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			front of all the creation.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			So he says, كَذَبْتَ No, you're lying.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			And the angels affirm, they say كَذَبْتَ You're
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:28
			lying.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			Rather you did this to be called a
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			Shaykh.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			And guess what, فَقَدَ قِيلَ It was said.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			Meaning you got what you wanted out of
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:38
			it.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			Don't expect reward from me today.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			Then the Prophet said the second person is
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:48
			a person that was given massive wealth.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			So they'll be called in front and the
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			external is that this person built everything.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			They built masajids, they built all types of
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			beneficial things for humanity.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			And many of us would be looking at
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			this person wishing I was them on the
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:03
			Day of Judgment.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			Because we don't understand the internal is what
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:07
			really matters.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			Doesn't matter how much you give.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			It matters how heavy it is.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			And that is why the Prophet ﷺ said,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			There will come a man from my Sahaba
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			who will give a handful of wheat this
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			much.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			And it will outweigh millions and millions of
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			those given later.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			Because that handful of wheat was given with
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			so much sincerity.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			That the scales, these scales on the Day
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			of Judgment measure it so different.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			He'll say, what did you do with the
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			wealth that you were given?
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			He'll say, I gave it in charity.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			I built this, I built that for your
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			sake.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			Allah will say to this person, you lie.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:48
			You lie.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			Maybe this person never stops to question their
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:52
			intentions.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			Maybe they ignored it.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			The angels will reply the same way, you're
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:58
			lying.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			Rather you did it so that you could
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			be called generous.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			It was said, please move on.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			No reward for me.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:05
			May Allah protect us.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			And the last one is a man who
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			fought in the path of Allah.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			A Mujahid.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			Fighting in the path of Allah.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			The greatest sacrifice one could imagine.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			And he died in the path of Allah.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			He will come on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			And Allah will ask this man, what did
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			you do with your life?
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:29
			And he will say, I gave it in
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:29
			your path.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			And to the man who died as a
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			martyr, Allah will say, Kadabta, you're lying.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			You did it to be called brave.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			You did it for the dunya.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			You did it for some other reason that
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			wasn't me.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			It wasn't me, it wasn't for me, so
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			I don't repay what's not for me.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			Simple as that.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			Like the time I bought my wife flowers.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			But I forgot to take the receipt, the
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			tag off.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			They were on sale for 50%.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			She was happy when I first came in
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			the door.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			But when she saw the ulterior motive of
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:13
			saving a dime, they lost their weight.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			They lost their weight.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			I'll try again.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			And take this sticker off next time.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			The Prophet ﷺ in this scary hadith is
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			teaching us to be people of depth.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			To be people whose hearts are connected to
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			Allah.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			This is why he taught Umar a dua.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			A beautiful dua.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			He taught Umar to recite this dua.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			He was teaching him to look inward, not
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:42
			outward.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:46
			The dua, Umar says, عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ The
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			Prophet ﷺ taught me this dua.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			The Prophet ﷺ said to me, قُلْ أَللَّهُمَا
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:56
			جَعَلْ سَرِيرَتِي خَيْرًا مِّنْ عَلَانِيَتِي وَجَعَلْ عَلَانِيَتِي صَالِحًا
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			Oh, beautiful.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			He said, make this dua, Umar.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:04
			Oh Allah, make my inner state, my heart
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:08
			state, my secret state, better than my external
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:08
			state.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			And make my external state good.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			Make my inner state better than my external
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:15
			state.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			And also, make my external good.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			This was the dua that the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:21
			did.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			But how do we develop that?
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			How do we develop that?
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			Umar ﷺ, he taught us that the cure
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			for hearts is the remembrance of Allah ﷻ.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			Hold on to the remembrance of God.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			The remembrance of God.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:49
			وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَذِكْرِ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّهُ دَاءٌ And beware of
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			just thinking of people all the time.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			Because it's a sickness to the heart.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:59
			ابن قيم الجوزي رحمه الله تعالى He says
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			that you must watch what you think about.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:06
			Because what you think about builds your inclinations.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			And from your inclinations becomes habits, and habits
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			make your life.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			And so he says, The salah of yourself,
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			the way to rectify yourself, is to develop
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			within yourself a mind, a heart that is
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			constantly thinking of God.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:30
			He says, مُرَاقِبَةً لِوَلِيِّهَا وَإِلَٰهِهَا Constantly watching Allah
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34
			Constantly cognizant of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			معاز بن جبل رضي الله تعالى And he
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			was sent off to Yemen right before the
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			Prophet passed away.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			And he had a feeling that this would
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			be the last conversation he would have with
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			Rasulullah ﷺ.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			So he asked him some parting advice.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:56
			He said, أَيُّ الْعَمَلْ خَيْرُ وَأَقْرَبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			Which action will get me closest to Allah?
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			He spent years with him.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			He knows how to pray.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			He knows how to fast.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			He knows how to read Quran.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			He knows all the external, but he wants
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			قُرْبِ إِلَى اللَّهِ He wants proximity to God.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			He wants to be close to God.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			That's what he wants.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			He doesn't want the external shell.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			He wants a heart that's close.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			He says, what action can I do that
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			gets me close?
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:26
			Rasulullah ﷺ, he said, أَن تُمْسِي وَتُحْبَأْ وَلِسَانَكَ
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:30
			رَتْبٌ مِن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ He said, day and
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			night, keep your tongue moist with the remembrance
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:32
			of God.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَى اللَّهِ
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ A heart that is connected with
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:40
			Allah.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			And before I end this first khutbah, I'll
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			share one more hadith taken from Kanzul A'mal.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			It's a narration from the Musnad of Muaz,
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			the same companion that I just shared from.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			And he says that the Prophet ﷺ said
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:03
			these beautiful words, يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسِ O people,
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:08
			أُذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ Just keep remembering
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:08
			Allah.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			Keep remembering Allah.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			With your heart, with your tongue, with your
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			mind, connected with Allah ﷻ.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			Be shy of thoughts knowing that Allah sees
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			your thoughts.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			Be shy before God.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			That thought came to my mind and Allah
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			is watching me.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:35
			أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهِ أُذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ That
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			doesn't mean verbal.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			That means a heart that's constantly connected.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَمَلَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ There is
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:47
			no action other than to love it to
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			God.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:52
			Then a heart that is constantly remembering Allah.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			وَلَا أَنْجَى لِعَبْدِ Now this is what gets
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			me because how do I protect myself from
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			falling into sin?
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			How do I protect myself from tripping up?
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			How can I assure myself, Ya Allah?
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			So the Rasul ﷺ he says وَلَا أَنْجَى
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:12
			لِعَبْدٍ مِن كُلِّ سَيِّئَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ And
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			there is no action that will protect you
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:14
			more.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			There is no action that will save you
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			in this dunya more.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:19
			From what?
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			Humiliation, from disgrace, from sin, from everything.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			There is no action that will save you
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:30
			more فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ مِن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ than
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			remembrance of God.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			A heart deeply connected to Allah.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			فَقَالَ قَائِلُ Someone in the crowd, they yelled
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			out, they said, Ya Rasulullah!
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			Like me and you, they were shocked.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			We've learned about salah, we've learned about zakat,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			we've learned about prayer, we've learned about hajj,
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			we've learned about all these great things.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			And now in this khutbah, the Rasul Sallallahu
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			Alaihi Wasallam says, there's nothing better than remembering
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			Allah.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			So someone in the crowd, they yelled out,
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:56
			they said, Ya Rasulullah!
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:56
			What about jihad?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			There can't be anything better than that.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, وَلَوْ لَا ذِكْرُ
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			اللَّهِ لَمْ يُؤْمَرُ اللَّهُ بِالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِهِ If
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			it wasn't for dhikr of Allah, Allah would
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			not order for there to be any jihad.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			There would be no salah if it wasn't
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			for dhikr of Allah.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			There would be no hajj if it wasn't
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			for the remembrance of Allah.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:21
			The asal, everything objective is a heart connected
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:21
			with God.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			Sincerity.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			Sincerity comes from love.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			And love is cultivated.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			It's developed.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			It's worked on.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:32
			It's worked on.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			And it's worked on by stopping in every
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37
			little moment and remembering that He's closer to
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			you than anything else.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			He'll always be there with you.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			The Prophet said, وَلَوْ لَا ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ لَمْ
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:51
			يَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ بِالْجِهَادِ لَمْ يَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ بِالْجِهَادِ فِي
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:57
			سَبِيلِهِ My time is up for the first
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:57
			khutbah.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			May Allah SWT give us hearts that stay
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:01
			connected.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			May He give us sincerity.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			Sincerity means that we're just connected to Him
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			and He is why we do everything.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			But sincerity is a byproduct of love.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			So may He give us His love.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			May He give us the ability to cultivate
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			His love in our hearts.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			May He give us tongues that stay remembering
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			Him.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			But more importantly, hearts that stay connected.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:29
			أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم ورسالة
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:38
			المسلمين فاستغفروا إنه هو الغفور الرحيم استغفروا
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:49
			استغفروا استغفروا بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:53
			والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:58
			ومن وعلىه Seeing that our country has just
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			gone through an election I thought it was
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			important for us to connect to the Quran
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:07
			where Allah SWT tells us the book of
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			Allah we always must turn back to the
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			book of Allah.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			Because the book of Allah gives us insight
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			to every situation that we could be going
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:15
			through.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			Allah SWT says in this beautiful verse and
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			remember to listen to the Quran as if
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			it's your first time hearing it.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			Upon the passing of the Prophet ﷺ the
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			Sahaba knew the Quran but when Abu Bakr
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			read that verse in that moment it was
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			like they had never heard it before.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			So what does Allah SWT say قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:45
			مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِ الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاهِ وَتْهَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			مِمَّنْ تَشَاهِ وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاهِ وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَاهِ
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:53
			بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرِ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرِ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			قَدِيرٌ The translation to this verse is say
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			Allah first tells us say it or say
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			these words.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			He's saying repeat after me.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			Repeat after me.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:12
			اللَّهُمَّ Oh Allah مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ The king of
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:17
			all the kingdoms تُؤْتِ الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاهِ You
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20
			give power to whoever you want.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِنْ مَنْ تَشَاهِ And you *
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			away power from who you want.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:31
			وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاهِ Because power in our mind
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			is connected to honor.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			So this verse Allah says say these words
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			repeat after me.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاهِ And you give honor to
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			who you want to give honor to.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَاهِ And you disgrace who you
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:47
			want to disgrace.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			Allah is in control.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			بِيَدِكَ Allah is in control.
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			Look at the next words.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			بِيَدِكَ It's in your hand.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			الخير Good is in your hand.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			مُعَازْ بِنْ جَبْل One day I'll end with
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			this narration.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:04
			It's time to pray.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			مُعَازْ بِنْ جَبْل رضي الله تعالى عنه One
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			day he didn't show up to Jumu'ah.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			This narration is in Qutubi's Tafsir.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:13
			You can look it up.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			He didn't come to Jumu'ah.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			فَالرَّسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَى اللَّهِ وَسَلَّمْ He saw him
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			after Jumu'ah sometime.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23
			He said, يَا مَعَازْ مَا مَنَأَكَ مَنْ تِصَلَاتِ
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26
			الْجُمْعَةِ What stopped you from coming to Salatul
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:26
			Jumu'ah?
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			مُعَازْ said, يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ Hear me out.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:36
			كَانَ لِيُحَانَ إِبْنَا بَارِيَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَيَّ أُوقِيَ مِنْ
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:41
			تِبْرِنِ There's this Jewish man in Medina, Yuhanna.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			I owe him some money.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:45
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			Sahaba dealt with the same things we deal
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			with.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			I owe him some money.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			كَانَ عَلَى بَابِي He was hanging out in
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			my neighborhood, outside my door.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			And if I came out, I knew he
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			was gonna * me up and maybe take
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			me to the jail, take me here, take
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			me there, because I owe him money.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			So I just stayed in the house.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			Y'all don't know, man, when they used
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			to call our house, the bill collectors.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			It's time to pray, but my mom would
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17
			say, answer the phone, tell them I ain't
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:17
			here.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			I know, I know, it's lying, but you
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			know, you gotta save your mother sometimes.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			So we would answer the phone.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			No, she's not here.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:30
			So Mu'az bin Jabal is hiding inside
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			and he can't go out and he's being
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			stuck so much, he couldn't keep the Jumu
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			'ah.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			That's not a dalil.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			Don't pull any dalils from this hadith.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			So the Prophet ﷺ says, Ya Mu'az,
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			let me teach you something.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			He says, let me teach you this.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			And he says to Mu'az, Ya Mu
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			'az, should I not give you something by
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			which Allah will alleviate your day and your
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			debt, your debt, all of it, wipe away,
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			shall I not teach it to you?
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			قلت نعم Mu'az is like, please Ya
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			Rasulullah, please teach it to me.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			He says, Mu'az, say these words.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			قل, قل, say this every day.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			اللهم مالك الملك And he recited the whole
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:05
			verse.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			And at the end of the verse, he
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			said, say these words as well.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			You are the merciful of the world and
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:13
			the akhirah.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:17
			تُؤْتِ مِنْهَا مَنْ تَشَىٰ You give to whom
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			you will, you take back from whom you
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:19
			will.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			وَمَنْ تَشَىٰ تَقْلِي عَنِّي دَيْنِ And O Allah,
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			please fulfill my debt.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			Take my debt away from me, Ya Allah.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			فَلَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِلْءُ الْأَرْضِ The Prophet said,
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			if you owed as much as the weight
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			of the earth, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى would
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			remove that debt from you.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:35
			Power.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			The illusion of power may be in the
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			hands of these people, but we must always
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			remember that true power is with God.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:49
			أَقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُسَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:53
			يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56

00:29:56 --> 00:30:00
			وَمَوْلَانَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمُ وَارْضَهُمَا جَمِيعَ

00:30:06 --> 00:30:10

00:30:10 --> 00:30:13

00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			وَلَا تُذِلَّنَا يَا أَرْحَمُ الْرَّاهِمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ عِزَّنَا وَلَا
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:20

00:30:25 --> 00:30:29

00:30:29 --> 00:30:33
			ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِذَكُمْ
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:38
			لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَذْكُرْكُمْ وَادْعُوهُ
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41
			يَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ وَنَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْنُوا عَتَسْنَهُمْ
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:50
			أَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةُ الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			الله أكبر أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله
		
00:30:53 --> 00:31:02
			أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله حي على
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:06
			الصلاة حي على الصلاة حي على الفلاح حي
