My brothers and sisters, we

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

are living in

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

stressful times, difficult times.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

And everything every time you think something is

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

finishing something new starts.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

The latest thing that has started is the,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:32

unrest

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

and rebellion in Bangladesh,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

which has left 100 of people dead.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:39

And,

00:00:42 --> 00:00:42

the

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

government is foreign.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

Some new government will come and so on.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:49

A lot of,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

killings and looting and this and that.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

Now what is going on in Gaza and

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

so on is now almost a year old

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

and so also other places.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

The reason I'm mentioning this is because

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

2 of my friends,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

they asked me

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

they they said, what can we do in

00:01:15 --> 00:01:15

these situations?

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

Because we are feeling we feel

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

on the one hand, we feel upset with

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

what is happening. We feel even more upset

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

with the fact that we are helpless. We

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

can't do anything.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

We feel also,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

in some ways, insecure and threatened

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

because we don't know what will spill over

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

where. Like, for example, now

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

the mosques and massages which are being attacked

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

in in the

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

UK by,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

white extremists and,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

so called I I don't use the word

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

right wing. You you say wrong

00:01:53 --> 00:01:53

wrong wing,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

because,

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

language is important. So is it these are

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

these people are are are

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

on the right. They're not on the right.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

They are on the wrong,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

because right or wrong in order direction.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

So anyway, long long and short of it

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

is that all of that is happening. So

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

people are afraid what will happen.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

So in that situation, what can I do?

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

Who is I? I is you, me,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:18

the ordinary

00:02:19 --> 00:02:19

Muslim.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

We don't have any authority. We are not

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

in power. We are not head of state.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

We don't run armies.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

We are not billionaires.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

Whereas billionaires themselves,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

Elon Musk, who is,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

I don't know for what reason, but he

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

is the role model for a lot of

00:02:38 --> 00:02:38

young Muslims.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

At least to read something about a person

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

before before you say so and so is

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

a role model. I didn't even completely I

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

think

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

some of our youth are,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

the head is a vacuum,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

and they're not even blonde. I mean, for

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

god's sake.

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

So the the the realest think about it.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

Elon Musk is a role born forward.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

Elon Musk is now running a campaign to,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:07

support,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

you know, all the wrong things for the

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

wrong reasons.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

So there is this whole feeling of

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

tension and fear and whatnot. So I say,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

what shall what shall we do?

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

We are like

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

as example I give with the analogy is

00:03:25 --> 00:03:25

we are like

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

captains of a sailing ship.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

You know, in the

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

good old days before the steamers came, they

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

were ships called the tall ships or clippers.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

So it's absolutely

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

beautiful ships.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

The the the beauty of that

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

vessel was something else,

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

you know, and then

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

sails upon sails upon sails. That's why they

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

were called tall ships

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

and,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

how those sailors,

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

you know,

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

sail those ships is a it's a story

00:03:58 --> 00:03:58

itself. Anyway,

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

so if you are if you are a

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

captain and we that's where we are as

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

Muslim. They live with the captain in a

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

a tall ship, and this ship is caught

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

in a storm.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

Suppose there's a terrible storm happening. Now you

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

as a captain, you have 2

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

paradoxical

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

roles to play, and you and you need

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

to play both of them perfectly. The first

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

role you have to play

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

is to be aware of all the forces

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28

surrounding you. So you have the ocean currents,

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

you have, the winds, and you have, you

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

know, all kind of stuff is happening in

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

the the rocks on which the ship,

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

threatens to be wrecked.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

So you need to be aware of the

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

environment.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

At the same time, you must not allow

00:04:44 --> 00:04:44

that environment

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

to distract you from your course.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

Right? Because if you get involved in the

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

environment, you will crash.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

But at the same time, if you don't

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

know the environment, then you cannot really

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

save the ship because, you know, where are

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

you going? I mean, what's happening to the

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

to the wind and the rays of the

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

ocean currents and so on? So 2 different

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

one rule is ignore everything else and focus

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

on my my goal.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

And the other one is

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

be aware of all the stuff.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

At the same time, simultaneously,

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

you need to to to be able to,

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

perform these 2 paradoxical

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

roles

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

simultaneously and do them perfectly.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

That's the situation that we are in.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

So on the one hand, we have all

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

of this bad news all over the world.

00:05:29 --> 00:05:30

And on the other hand,

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

question is what should I do?

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

My answer is

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

do what

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

we should do in the state of a

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

crisis, and that consists of the following steps.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

1 number 1 is

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

face and accept the fact that there is

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

a crisis.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

Don't imagine it away. Don't think it's not

00:05:52 --> 00:05:52

happening.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

Don't say it won't happen to me. It

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

we hope it doesn't happen to you, but

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

it can. I mean, there's nothing to,

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

you know, you are not special in any

00:06:01 --> 00:06:01

way.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

That's 1. Second one is

00:06:05 --> 00:06:05

as Muslims,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

be aware and have this complete and total

00:06:08 --> 00:06:09

certainty

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

that nothing can happen

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

without

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

the permission of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

So whatever is happening

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

is happening

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

because Allah

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

is allowing it to happen and whatever can

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

happen and cannot happen because.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

3rd thing

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

is to ask yourself,

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

therefore, what can I do?

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

And for that, the principle I apply in

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

my life, which I want to present before

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

you is I will not allow what is

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

not in my control

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

to prevent me from doing what is in

00:06:45 --> 00:06:45

my control.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

So let me repeat that. I will not

00:06:48 --> 00:06:48

allow

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

what is not in my control

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

to prevent me from doing what is in

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

my control because the reality of life is

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

no matter what situation you are in, whether

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

you are the head of state, whether you

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

are a billionaire, whether you are a single

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

farmer

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

with some sheep on a hillside or a

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

farmer with in a hut, there is always

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

something that you can do,

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

and there is always something that you cannot

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

do. There there is no person who as

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

long as he's breathing,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

there's always something that he can do.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

No matter how smart, but that is something

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

which is in the power of that person.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

So focus on what is in your power.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

K? Don't don't worry about what's what is

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

not in my this is happening in Gaza,

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

that's happening in Bangladesh, this is happening in

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

the UK, that's

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

that's not in our control.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

So

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

how can

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

I defocus from that? Stop watching that stuff

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

on social media.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

People will people will send you forward forwards,

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

don't look at them. Delete them.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

Television, if you have one, take it and

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

throw it in the junkyard. I I haven't

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

done the television for the last 30 years,

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

and I'm very happy.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

Right? I don't miss anything. I probably know

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

politics better than most of you here because

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

I write about it,

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

And I have no television. I you don't

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

you don't need television to know what is

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

happening in the world.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

So if you have a television, do do

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

the make make a video of how to

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

smash a TV. Take it outside, take an

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

axe, smash it, make a video, you make

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

some money out of it. Right? The people

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

who watch this garbage. So

00:08:18 --> 00:08:18

do that.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

Stop watching social media on all of these.

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

If you have friends who are sending you

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

stuff, very politely tell them, please don't send

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

me this stuff. I'm not interested. I will

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

not watch it. I will not respond to

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

you. I will not say anything. I don't

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

want to know. Leave it.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

1 of the biggest problems

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

problem creators is social media

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

because of a very simple reason, which is

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

that the algorithm of social media sends you

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

more stuff of what you like.

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

So anything you like, anything you see, you

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

will get more and more of that. The

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

more you see, the more you get. So

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

you

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

will if you listen, for example, if

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

you are if you if you if you

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

start clicking on,

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

videos from Gaza, then you will get them

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

all day and you will get hundreds of

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

them. You will get them all day. If

00:09:06 --> 00:09:07

you if you click on,

00:09:08 --> 00:09:09

wildlife,

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

you know,

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

clips and you will get all that. You

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

will get that all day. It doesn't mean

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

that suddenly wildlife is more important than other.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

It just means that you have been creating

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

or you have been clicking on those things

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

and it will give Saniya more and more

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

of the same thing. So now when you

00:09:25 --> 00:09:29

and I, when we, and Mel helped our

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

us and our friends, people forward you stuff.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

You look at that, then that's as good

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

as clicking on it yourself.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

And you will start getting more and more

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

of that from different sources.

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

So this completely

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

occupies your life. I remember this, we saw

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

this very clearly during COVID, right?

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

We I know people who

00:09:50 --> 00:09:54

would watch COVID related stuff literally the entire

00:09:54 --> 00:09:54

day.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:58

And their entire conversation was about COVID. Right.

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

They would walk around with masks, which was

00:10:00 --> 00:10:00

fine.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

And, but they would get completely paranoid,

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

about anyone coming close to them or standing

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

close to them.

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

Literally we're going on to the, almost to

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

the point of insanity,

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

or, or the signs of insanity

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

about COVID. So there was this tremendous fear

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

on the same, at the same time. No,

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

no, no, no. I'm not afraid. Life and

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

death in the hand of Allah. If that

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

is the case, then why are you acting

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

like like this, you know, in this completely

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

crazy crazy fashion? But that is because they're

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

watching that data every day.

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

No. But see, they they are dying so

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

many that they can't even bury them. And

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

in New York, they have them in a

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

in in refrigerator trucks.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

There's no end to this. Right? See what

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

Fauci is doing. See what these people are

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

doing. Oh, the the the the the

00:10:45 --> 00:10:48

media is is is, is is targeting all

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

this. And then you have the others who

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

say all of this is is a is

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

a conspiracy and so on. And, buy bang

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

pots and pans and COVID will go away

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

and and drink this, joshinda and that joshinda.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

Now the point is the whole time it

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

is COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, and because

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

of that, your life is ruined. Your life

00:11:07 --> 00:11:10

is ruined. Your conversation is gone. Your relationships

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

are gone. People got people got into they

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

got divorced because of this. All kinds of

00:11:15 --> 00:11:16

terrible things happened. Right?

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

So the point I'm saying is that if

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

we are going to

00:11:21 --> 00:11:21

harass ourselves

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

by watching negative stuff the whole time,

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

stuff over over which we have no control.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

So instead of watching all these COVID movies

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

and COVID, stuff,

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

take your own precautions

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

and say, Alhamdulillah, Allah

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

has kept me well. I I am healthy.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

I do not have COVID and Inshallah, I

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

will not have COVID.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

Take whatever precautions you need to take. Right?

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

If you need to take a vaccine, take

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

a vaccine. If you need to wear a

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

mask, wear a mask, do what you need

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

to do, but don't keep on watching this,

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

social media stuff the whole time. The same

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

thing applies to Gaza. Same thing applies to,

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

to, the UK what's happening in UK, what's

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

happening in Bangladesh and so on.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

We pray for those people. We really sincerely

00:12:05 --> 00:12:06

make dua to Allah's manu tada

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

to keep our brothers and sisters safe wherever

00:12:09 --> 00:12:12

they are and to keep all this madness

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

and insanity that is that is seems to

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

be engulfing the world. Keep it far away

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

from all of us,

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

but don't fall into this trap of,

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

the same thing over and over again by

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

watching all the social media stuff. So please,

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

my brothers and sisters, do yourself a favor.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

Stop watching all the social media stuff. Right?

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

And then focus on what you can do.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

What can I do? Number 1,

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

I can and I should correct my relationship

00:12:40 --> 00:12:40

with Allah

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

because only Allah can change it. If it

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

is happening, it's happening because of Allah's

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

permission. Therefore, I need to be able to

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

connect to Allah What should I do? Make

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

my make sure in my life, there is

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

no disobedience of Allah

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

Earn halal, eat halal,

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

make sure you fulfill

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

your that don't let a far go without

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

fulfilling it.

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

There are many of you young guys who

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

are earning money.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

Zakat is due on you, and many of

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

you don't know that you are supposed to

00:13:12 --> 00:13:12

be.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

Was due on you, and you did not

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

do because you did not know. I'm not

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

saying you are not evil. You're beautiful people,

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

but you should know. That is why you

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

must know your

00:13:27 --> 00:13:28

And not say no, but my dad, your

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

dad has his own responsibility.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

If if there is if you are earning

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

money,

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

your dad's Korvani or your dad's Zakat does

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

not affect you. That is he is doing

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

his job. For you.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

That is due on you also, so go

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

pay it.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:47

Make sure that you you are fulfilling

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

your Make sure you eat halal. Make sure

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

you earn halal.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

Right? And then ex

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

do extra,

00:13:55 --> 00:13:58

which starts with the halal. At least make

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

it further yourself. At least 2 rakat of

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

the Hajjut every

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

day. Pray that wake up half an hour

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

before the time of fars Fajr starts. Pray

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

2 rakat of the Hajjut.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

Read some Quran, go to the masjid, pray.

00:14:12 --> 00:14:15

Make this into your routine on a daily

00:14:15 --> 00:14:15

basis.

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

Correct with Allah. Second thing is

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

deal well with your people around you, especially

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

people who are not Muslims. So your neighbors

00:14:25 --> 00:14:26

and so on and so forth. You come

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

to the masjid on a Friday, don't park

00:14:28 --> 00:14:29

on somebody's lawn.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

Don't go block off somebody's driveway. Right? I

00:14:32 --> 00:14:33

mean, I'm I don't even know why I

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

need to say that, but we you know,

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

we need to say that.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

Don't go and park in a in a

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

in a place which has a handicap sign

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

on it. Don't do that.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

Come early, park up, park. If you can't

00:14:47 --> 00:14:48

get parking, if you come early, you will

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

get parking. Right? If there is no parking,

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

park a bit further away,

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

walk to the Masjid, no problem. The handicap

00:14:54 --> 00:14:55

sign is for the for the person who

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

is actually handicapped.

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

And I don't well, forgive you, forgive, all

00:15:00 --> 00:15:01

of us. I know there are some people

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

who carry a handicap tag in the car

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

in order to illegally park in a handicap

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

place. Fear Allah.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

Fear Allah that Allah does not make you

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

deserving of that handicap tag.

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

Fear Allah so that Allah does not say,

00:15:16 --> 00:15:18

oh, you you you love the handicap

00:15:18 --> 00:15:19

tags over?

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

Alright. Now you will deserve it. This is

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

what is gonna happen to you. After that,

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

you will be handicapped, and then you can

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

love this tag and and genuinely use it

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

instead of lying about this tag. So when

00:15:31 --> 00:15:32

I have some

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

some

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

some,

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

some, you know, shame,

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

How can you use a use a handicap

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

tag when you are not handicapped?

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

I have seen it myself. That's why I'm

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

saying I'm not like I have seen it

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

myself. There are people

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

here who do this

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

so that they can go and and and

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

park their car in a handicap. How shameful

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

is that?

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

We go to your neighbors. Make sure that

00:15:58 --> 00:16:01

every person who comes into contact with you,

00:16:01 --> 00:16:01

no matter

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

how redneck and blackneck and

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

commit and and and, you know, bigoted and

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

whatnot that person is. When that person comes

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

in contact with you, then the person's eyes

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

open and say, wow. This is a Muslim?

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

I know many Muslims are like this. They're

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

beautiful people.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

I was in trouble. This person helped me.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

Believe me, this is the only way to

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

change the world.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

It's by changing the hearts of people who

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

you come into contact with,

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

and it's very easy. I'll tell you a

00:16:33 --> 00:16:34

very simple math.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:38

We are 1 fifth of the global population.

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

Alright? One fifth, Which means that in every

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

5 people, one is a Muslim.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

In 5 people, one is a Muslim. Then

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

that one is you.

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

So for every one of you, there are

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

4 non Muslims.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

If you can convert the hearts, I'm not

00:16:54 --> 00:16:55

saying bring them to Islam. No. I'm saying

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

if you can convert their hearts to feel

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

positive about Muslims,

00:17:00 --> 00:17:02

4 people, you've done your job.

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

You want the whole world covered. If every

00:17:06 --> 00:17:06

Muslim

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

is good to 4 non Muslims and those

00:17:09 --> 00:17:12

4 non Muslims feel that this Muslim guy

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

is a good guy, Islam is a good

00:17:14 --> 00:17:15

religion, you've done your

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

job. Even if none of them comes to

00:17:17 --> 00:17:19

Islam, no problem. That's between them and Allah.

00:17:22 --> 00:17:22

Right?

00:17:22 --> 00:17:23

Can you do this?

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

Be nice to your neighbors. Somebody's,

00:17:27 --> 00:17:28

garbage can is,

00:17:29 --> 00:17:30

is outside.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

Can lid is open. Maybe it is raining.

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

It'll fill up. Just go there. Turn the

00:17:34 --> 00:17:37

lid. Empty the can. Take it to the

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

to the garage. Leave it there. Believe me,

00:17:39 --> 00:17:40

this changes hearts.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

I have seen it happen. This changes hearts.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

Christmas time, and I do it at Christmas

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

because they they expect it at Christmas. Christmas

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

time, we

00:17:54 --> 00:17:54

get

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

very high quality, very good quality chocolates,

00:17:58 --> 00:17:58

2 bags,

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

and I give it to the 2 garbage

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

truck drivers who day who do our garbage

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

every year.

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

Now Christmas time here in Massachusetts

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

means that maybe on that Christmas, there's 2

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

feet of snow.

00:18:11 --> 00:18:12

But in that 2 feet of snow, I

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

go out there, I stand there because that

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

guy, I don't know what time he comes.

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17

I'm waiting for him. I go out there,

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

I stand there, and I give believe me,

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

I have seen those people. I have seen

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

their faces.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

And they know they know who I am

00:18:25 --> 00:18:26

because, you know, they they they pass by

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

the house all the time they do the

00:18:28 --> 00:18:29

imam of the wazid.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

One guy tells me no one does this.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

I said, yeah. I know.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

I give it to the 2 garbage people.

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

I give it to the postman,

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

the the the mail carrier who brings, mail.

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

Change the hearts of people. This is what

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

we can do. This is in our control.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

This is the control of every single one

00:18:53 --> 00:18:53

of us.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

Do whatever

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

way you can do it. Change the hearts

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

of 4 people. Each one, 4 people.

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

Right? Can we do this?

00:19:04 --> 00:19:04

Yeah.

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

We ask Allah

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

to put this power to change the hearts

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

of people into your and my hand Insha'Allah

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

and to make us do this work so

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

that we will use what is in our

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

control to change what is not in our

00:19:18 --> 00:19:18

control.
