politics so much?
		

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

			Every conversation is politics. And you're telling me is not not your concern? Really?
		

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

			You know, why am I asking this question?
		

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

			I'm asking you this question because
		

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

			Allah subhanaw taala created two kinds of things.
		

00:02:01 --> 00:02:07

			There are some things that Allah subhanaw taala gave the control to us.
		

00:02:09 --> 00:02:17

			There are other things which Allah subhanaw taala kept for himself. We are not we have no control
over that right
		

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

			not only what is it that you have control over anybody
		

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

			what is it in your control you can do whatever you want with it you can write your own destiny What
is it
		

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

			it's the
		

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

			struggle.
		

00:02:38 --> 00:02:44

			Let me give you let me give you a clue. Let me give you a clue. You know how you know how you figure
out
		

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

			what is in your control?
		

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

			Think about what will Allah question you for? What will you question you about
		

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00

			so what is it what are the questions?
		

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

			Prayer
		

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

			Salah
		

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

			questions let's let's go to the Day of Judgment what are the questions the
		

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

			my dharma ma i want to
		

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

			only
		

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

			so will be so number one. So what what is the meaning of armory
		

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

			life what is life?
		

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

			Had so breathing
		

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

			what is another word for life?
		

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44

			What's on your watch on your wrist? Yes duniya
		

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

			sa time right life is what life is time.
		

00:03:50 --> 00:03:56

			So, the first question is what did you do with the time that I gave you life is time
		

00:03:57 --> 00:03:57

			No.
		

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

			Our whole life is a bunch of seconds
		

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

			and the clock is going backward from the time I was born it is going backwards less less less less
finally putting God first
		

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

			alarm of when our
		

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

			first question time
		

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

			why because that is in our control.
		

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

			What is in question
		

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

			Shabba baby Ruby, youth
		

00:04:35 --> 00:04:44

			How did you spend your youth? So from the time overall time there the question would run the time
there is one specific piece of time which is more important than the other time
		

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

			which is the youth
		

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

			so what would we
		

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

			then third,
		

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

			ma li mean? Aina
		

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

			Gaza who affi
		

00:05:06 --> 00:05:11

			the wealth Where did you earn it from and where did you spend it?
		

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

			In our country?
		

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

			Well,
		

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

			who I'll tell me
		

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

			what did you do with it?
		

00:05:26 --> 00:05:35

			Did you give it an L mark and the two sides to it one is did you act on the L? And did you
communicate this? They're both are important.
		

00:05:38 --> 00:05:44

			Well, as Monica said, Yeah, well, Dinamo, DeMatha Gulaba Dorado so how come you don't do what you
say you are supposed to do?
		

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

			Now,
		

00:05:48 --> 00:05:59

			same four things. Think about this. First question is what did you do with the time is allotted and
saying, How long did you live?
		

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

			How come you did not live for 100 years?
		

00:06:04 --> 00:06:10

			Why did you die at 40? This is a question No? Why? Why is that not a question?
		

00:06:11 --> 00:06:23

			Because the duration the amount of time is not in my control. What I do with the devil is in my
control, not only our concern in life is on what
		

00:06:24 --> 00:06:30

			how to prolong life. Muslims who are we have the or either we don't think like but the rest of the
world.
		

00:06:31 --> 00:06:44

			It this it will prolong your life. It that it will prolong your life this will reduce your life that
whole focus is on how to prolong life when you have no control over prolong life.
		

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

			But what do I do with that life? Meaning that time what do I do with the time?
		

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

			How much concern is the
		

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

			second one wealth? Where is our focus?
		

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

			Easiest in money what is our focus?
		

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

			Is it on where I'm earning and where I'm spending or is it on making more women
		

00:07:12 --> 00:07:16

			more more more more? I want more money more wherever wherever
		

00:07:17 --> 00:07:25

			Allah Samantha said that is not in your control. Total quantum of wealth for you is already written.
		

00:07:27 --> 00:07:32

			You cannot reduce it you cannot increase what is written for you is it because
		

00:07:33 --> 00:07:42

			what is in your control is now it is written for me what if for me it is written so many dollars
okay. Where will you earn it from this afternoon you do
		

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

			determines yet you are control.
		

00:07:49 --> 00:07:56

			You own a trauma Halal source hamdulillah Allah will give you the same amount but Allah will also
give you a reward
		

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

			as
		

00:07:59 --> 00:08:11

			you take it from the Haram source, no problem you will get it you will get it one stop. It will not
stop. You won't get less you will get a Simone. What haram source and then with the Haram source
what happens you get punishment.
		

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

			Same thing spending.
		

00:08:16 --> 00:08:40

			Right? Same money. I want to spend it in some good cause I'm helping somebody somebody's in need
whatnot. Even if it's not helping somebody Hamdulillah I go and I buy something beautiful for my
wife or my children Hamdulillah this is no problem by the Bible that I send them to the best schools
I do the best thing hamdulillah or I take the same money and I use it in some
		

00:08:42 --> 00:08:42

			miraculous
		

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

			ways our focus
		

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

			same thing with regard to youth
		

00:08:55 --> 00:08:59

			and I'm dedicating my life to building my body oh god hamdulillah no problem.
		

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

			But then do what
		

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

			I'm so tired in the gym, I sleep even faster as God
		

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

			because I will build my muscles so much.
		

00:09:13 --> 00:09:21

			Like one of the drills that you you bump by in the gym but you cannot lift the the cover from your
face for certain further. Where's the strength
		

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

			and then l knowledge
		

00:09:31 --> 00:09:43

			what we know Allah smart Allah is not saying why are you not have his Quran? Why are you not moved
the other ma Saudi Arabia? Why have you not memorize the CR Sita? No.
		

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

			I know when Hadees did you apply it?
		

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

			I know when I unless I did
		

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

			this but you know
		

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

			am I s
		

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

			establishing salah.
		

00:10:02 --> 00:10:07

			The Allah is not saying Did you pray? Did you read Salah did you do Salah
		

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12

			ie karma, the salah what is the meaning of karma that is why why is Allah
		

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

			establish it
		

00:10:16 --> 00:10:24

			means that this is a pillar in my life it will not nothing will change my salah at its time and the
place for Salah is what? The Masjid
		

00:10:26 --> 00:10:36

			it's not my house, my house is default is the exception not devotees exception. I cannot come to the
masjid for some reason what Salah in the house Jai is no problem hamdulillah
		

00:10:37 --> 00:10:44

			leaning salon orogen but in the house, in the office wherever but the place for Salah is the Masjid.
		

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

			So for Salah in the masjid.
		

00:10:50 --> 00:11:18

			I'm not going there are many Allah ma who have given many fatawa for example, there are people who
are given the fatwa that if you pray, if you do not pray for Salah for a man if he does not pray for
Salah in the masjid by Gemma it is not it is invalid. If you pray anywhere else Israel has not
accepted well I'll leave it leave that we don't have to go anywhere. As far as do your best. To the
best of my ability Can I pray my first saliva machine. If I pray Alhamdulillah
		

00:11:21 --> 00:11:37

			make the effort, right. Make the I I'm not saying to pray this but anyways, wherever close to your
house no problem but pray in the masjid for Salah. If you cannot go to the masjid you are praying at
home at least collect your family together. Pray by Gemma
		

00:11:38 --> 00:11:48

			don't pray individually. Quiet everybody will let us okay we know what is going we are a drop we
pray by Gemma we are not going to pray you know separately. Individual Raven
		

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

			the game of shaitan is shaytan
		

00:11:57 --> 00:12:05

			takes our attention to things which are not in our control. He makes us worry about things that are
not in our control.
		

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

			I may not have enough money, I may lose my money. What should I worry about is my income Halon
		

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

			is by spending
		

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

			not how much money
		

00:12:19 --> 00:12:25

			he makes us worry about things which are not in our control and leave the things which are in our
control.
		

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

			How much to earn is not in my control but how to earn is in my control.
		

00:12:34 --> 00:12:48

			So I'll end with this today we'll continue the long topic. So maybe tomorrow. But for today, please
just think about this. Focus and mind on what is in my control. That's it. What is not in my
control?
		

00:12:49 --> 00:12:57

			And how do I know what is in my control? Whatever Allah is going to question me is in my control,
Allah will not question me about something which is not remembered.
		

00:12:59 --> 00:13:03

			So focus on the questions. What will ALLAH ask me? And
		

00:13:04 --> 00:13:11

			think about that. Right? For those of you who are interested, there is a book of mine called
questions. How will we answer?
		

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

			You can read the book and I think I've done also series of lectures on it. So
		

00:13:17 --> 00:13:29

			we ask Allah subhanaw taala to enable us to focus on things which are in our control and to do them
in a way which pleases Him and which is beneficial for us in Juneau, Alaska was at Monterey. He was
