			Inamdar Lillah wa salatu salam ala shuffelin via while it was heavy human wallet on my bed
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			my dear brothers and sisters
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			we all know the hadith of
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:25
			Katara de la hora, which is the first half decent save Akari where he ordered from Nabi Salah salem
said in the Malama Lavinia
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			welcome Allah Allah He salatu salam, that the
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			reward of the deed is based on its intention.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:42
			I want to remind myself, I knew that the purpose of their Hadees and Mr. Salim is not to forward
them
		
00:00:43 --> 00:01:00
			to your entire mailing list every morning, but to look at them and see how we can implement them in
our lives. The teachings came to be obeyed, the teachings came to be implemented, they did not just
come to be passed on as word of mouth from person to person,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:24
			no matter how useful that might be. I'm not saying it is not useful. But definitely if it remains
that the level of passing on and does not go down to the level of implementing then it is certainly
not useful. So what can we learn from this hadith of in the Malama? Lavinia it's that the reward of
the deed is based on its intention.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			I asked myself, I asked you to think of the situation.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:02:12
			Take I'm not even talking about something which is obviously wrong. So we don't go there. The Muslim
does not deliberately disobey Allah. Let us be very clear about this. There is no need for me to
give examples of haram there is no need for me to give examples of something which is clearly the
disobedience of Allah. Because a Muslim does not deliberately disobey Allah, if there is any
disobedience in our lives and there is, it is always and should always be the result of
forgetfulness, or lack of knowledge, or something like that, not because we consciously choose to
disobey Allah subhanho wa taala, who not because we consciously choose to break the Sunnah of
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:38
			Muhammad Rasul allah sallallahu sallam, the people who deliberately do that the people who
deliberately disobey Allah, they know that something is wrong. They know that something is haram,
they know that something is prohibited, yet they still do it. These people are playing with fire,
quite literally, they're playing with fire. And I strongly, strongly, strongly recommend that they
stop doing this playing these games. So we're not talking about that we're talking about things
which are not haram.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:45
			But things which also do not have a reward associated with them. Take for example,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:56
			going window shopping, right? There was a well, I'm not buying anything, it is not haram. I'm just
spending some time in the mall. I'm spending just spending some time in the market walking around
seeing things.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:16
			But when you say spending some time, what does it mean? It means that you're spending a resource
which is non renewable, which is a clock which is ticking backwards. And this resource is non
renewable resource, you're spending it doing something which
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:22
			was not a sale, but which also you will know and I know will not give you any reward
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:34
			window shopping by itself, maybe MOBA, maybe something which has no benefit and no harm, but
definitely it does. It has no benefit. So therefore Now should I be doing that or not?
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:55
			So the thing to do with this in Albania, is to ask yourself this question and say, Why am I doing
what I'm setting out to do? Consciously ask this question, sit for a few minutes, reflect, get an
answer that you are satisfied with? And then go and do it or not do it. Take the Hadith the man was
going
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:36
			from one village to another. And Allah subhanaw taala sent an angel to meet him. The angel met the
man in the in a human form and asked this man, he has to wear a wig. The man said, I'm going to such
such a place. The angel said why are you going there? So he said, I went, I'm going there to meet so
and so. The angel said, Are you doing that? Is it is it for some work? Is it because you lent him
some money? You're taking it back? Are you willing to ask him for something for some favor for some
money loan? The man said no, no, no, nothing, none of those things. He is a he's a brother, he is a
Muslim brother. I'm just going to just go to meet him.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:59
			The angel then revealed him his real identity and he said that I am an angel I will send by Allah
subhanaw taala to give you glad tidings and the good news for you. The Bashara for you is that Allah
subhanaw taala forgive you your sins and He will forgive the sins of the other man who you are going
to meet. Only to renew your
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			ties of friendship as a Muslim, one Muslim to another. Now,
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:15
			does that intention, the fact that the man was just going there to meet his Muslim brother to renew
his ties to just to hang out with him just to, you know,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:59
			just to just to be with him? Does the fact that he is doing this now with the intention of pleasing
Allah does it reduce his pleasure in that action, on the contrary, it will actually increase the
pleasure and the action, because the man is now doing this action. And he also knows that not only
is he going to have fun with his brother, but he will be rewarded for that by Allah subhanaw taala,
by his sins being forgiven, and the sins of the other person also being forgiven, number one, number
two, think about what does it do to the DA Look, man, Allah, the dialogue with Allah subhanaw taala
that both of them have, because now the action is for the pleasure of Allah. So constantly now Allah
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:39
			subhanaw taala is part of their consciousness that they are aware that I'm doing this for Allah. So
now when he goes to meet his brother, in the process of this hanging out if there is an option, and
if a shutdown is always there with us, if shatta and gives them an option of doing something in the
name of having fun, which is the disobedience of Allah, will they do it? Most likely, most likely,
because they are meeting to please Allah? How can you meet to please Allah and then do something
with displeases Allah. So it enhances their pleasure, it gives them reward, and it enhances their
dialogue with Allah subhanaw taala. The action remains the same, I just went from this place to that
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:45
			place to meet my brother, I picked up the phone and call my brother and say salaam algo, how are you
haven't seen you for a long time.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:26
			Now, point is that when we do these things, when we do anything with this clarity of purpose with
this intention, it gives us value added benefits. And the biggest value add benefit of that the
absolutely the most significant, the most massive one is that we get the pleasure of Allah subhanaw
taala. So now when I go to a mall, I go here and there I'm wondering around spending time, hour, two
hours, three hours, whatever it is, what am I asked myself? Why am I doing that, right? Now, you
might say, well, I'm going to the mall to see, I'm a fashion designer, I'm going to see what
fashions that are so I get some ideas. 500 Very good. So when you go to the mall, go with that
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:38
			intention, and make seeker of Allah subhanaw taala constantly Mexico of Allah subhanaw taala so that
you do not lose the connection with Allah, when you are in that place in that marketplace,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:08:10
			then it's fine. But what happens to most of us when most of us go into the marketplace, we forget
Allah subhanho wa Taala we get engrossed in whatever is happening in that marketplace. We have
forgotten Allah subhanaw taala I'm not, I'm not even talking about those people who forget Allah
subhanaw taala to the extent that they don't forget the Salah, which might come in the way and then
they don't pray, and then they come back home and they say, Oh, my God, I forgot my salah. Well, I'm
gonna make a call. Now, I'm not talking about all that. And I am talking about just going there and
forgetting Allah subhanaw taala, which is what happens to most of us when we go into the marketplace
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:40
			when we go into, you know, wherever we go. Now, key thing is, therefore to ask yourself, Why am I
doing what I'm doing? And then the next question is that if what is the reward that I will get for
doing this thing? And why must we be focused on the reward, because we are using a non renewable
resource, which is our time. Our time is our life my brothers and sisters, you really want to know
the meaning of time you really want to know the value of time, then imagine yourself in the
situation completely.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:58
			situation which is absolute fantasy is not going to happen to any of us, but it's useful to imagine,
which is that I am lying. I'm about to die. I'm about to die and Malakal mode comes to me and says,
I am willing to give you back all the time that you spend walking around in malls,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:08
			doing this and that watching football, watching cricket and so on. I'm willing to give you that
gives you give that time back to you. What will you pay me for it?
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:30
			At the moment of our deaths? What are we willing to pay? What would we be willing to pay? Believe
me, believe me, we will be willing to pay every single thing that we ever owned and possessed. But
at that time, that's not going to happen. This is a fantasy. I'm saying fantasize because it will
keep you on the right track. Take the same thing and apply this again to for example, one of the
major major major
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:43
			attacks time wasters, frankly you asked me that most of us indulge in and that is watching sports.
watching sports is the most useless thing in the world that one can do
		
00:09:44 --> 00:10:00
			unless you are a professional player. And you are watching a game with the idea of implementing some
of the moves that the players made in that game in your own game. Other than that, and that that
applies to maybe point 000 1% of the population. For all of us. We
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:16
			watch the game because we get some thrill out of seeing somebody kick a ball into a goal. I mean,
it's seriously ask yourself this question. So therefore, my question is, play football, don't watch
football, play cricket, don't watch cricket, play hockey, don't watch hockey and so on and so forth.
Right?
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:28
			Quite apart from the fact that when the games have not been taken to a level where, whether we like
it or not, we when you're watching a football game, when you're watching
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:37
			cricket game, and so on, in the intervals you have you see those monkeys dancing. And so this is
haram, clearly, you see
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:27
			the actual objectifying of women, you see the actual sexist nature of Western thinking, you see how
women are being objectified and being degraded, and paraded for the pleasure of men. You're watching
that and this is, right. As far as tennis is concerned, men's tennis, fine women's tennis is between
you and me, it is almost as bad as some kind of soft * because the way they position the cameras
and so on and so forth. You know, how the shot is being taken how the ball is being hit, is the last
item on their agenda, they position those cameras for other reasons. Now, I don't want to, I don't
think I need to describe any of these things. I don't need to explain any of these things. I'm sure
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:34
			they're absolutely clear to all of you. My point is what happens to you and me, when we are sitting
in Washington.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:12:19
			Believe me, every one of those things has an effect on our heart, make no mistake, just like
breathing polluted air, breathing, polluted air, if fills up our lungs with pollution, just like
smoking fills up our lungs with carbon. Similarly, watching haram fills up our heart with haram
fills up our heart with carbon fills up our heart, and shields our heart from the knower of Allah
subhanahu dalle. And that's what we're doing in the name of what you can get. Right? So play the
game is good for your health go run around on the field. But watching the game is a complete a total
waste of time, complete and total waste of time. So now you know this, what are you going to do? If
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:26
			you go and watch another game, it means that either you are a professional football player who's
watching the game for learning, or
		
00:12:27 --> 00:13:06
			you are one of those who who has a year on the left side of the head, and another one on the right
side of the head and completely empty space between the two. So that whatever enters from the right
goes out to the left and there is no effect on your life. And then when you start before Allah
subhanaw taala you've got this whole hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of wasted time
that you got nothing out of the potential of what this could have earned you believe me will make us
cry tears of blood. Do not fall into this trap. As I told you, we're not even talking about haram,
we are talking about doing things which are neither bad nor good. They are neutral, meaning that
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:47
			they are a waste. And in order to do those things, we use the only thing which we have which is our
time, our time is our life, non renewable resource, not going to come back. And that's the power of
this heavy tsunami SallAllahu Sallam in normal Arma Lavinia, think before you do the deed, ask
yourself, Why am I doing this deed? Ask yourself, what will I get from doing this deed? And third
question is ask yourself, what will I get from not doing this deed? Because we know the Hadees when
we started Salam when he said that if a man intends to do or when a woman intends to do something
which is wrong, and then changes the intention, Allah subhanaw taala will give him one hasard just
		
00:13:47 --> 00:14:26
			for changing that intention. So we intended to watch this football match and I said no, no, no, no,
I now have second thoughts on this. I'm not going to watch that in sha Allah, Allah Mustafa, we
expect from Allah subhanaw taala that he will give us a good deed just for changing that intention.
I ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us to open our eyes to the reality of our lives and to give us
lives which are beneficial for us in the dunya Welaka. It is a beauty of this religion, that
anything you do, which is genuinely good for the dunya, which is genuinely good for the people is
genuinely good for you in this world is automatically good for us in the ACA, science and technology
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:59
			research, good clean politics with integrity, reading and writing, all kinds of literary activity,
all kinds of commercial activity, all kinds of social activity, every single thing, which is
genuinely beneficial for the people is also beneficial automatically for the actor of the Muslim who
engages in that activity. The whole world is wide open, whole world is wide open, pick and choose
those things which will cause you to have great benefit in this dunya and great Ben
