00:00:00 -->
00:00:00
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
00:00:00 -->
00:00:01
the Most Merciful.
00:00:01 -->
00:00:03
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
00:00:03 -->
00:00:03
the worlds.
00:00:04 -->
00:00:07
And peace and blessings be upon the Messengers
00:00:07 -->
00:00:07
and Prophets.
00:00:07 -->
00:00:09
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace and
00:00:09 -->
00:00:11
blessings be upon him and his family and
00:00:11 -->
00:00:11
companions.
00:00:12 -->
00:00:13
Peace and blessings be upon him.
00:00:15 -->
00:00:19
My brothers and sisters, I remind myself of
00:00:19 -->
00:00:19
you.
00:00:20 -->
00:00:25
Many times people ask me, for example with
00:00:25 -->
00:00:28
the children, some youth, young people ask me,
00:00:28 -->
00:00:31
old people ask me, we have this challenge
00:00:31 -->
00:00:33
in this society, that challenge in the society,
00:00:33 -->
00:00:36
there is this temptation, this fitna, that fitna,
00:00:37 -->
00:00:38
and so on and so on.
00:00:38 -->
00:00:41
And what shall I do?
00:00:41 -->
00:00:46
How can I keep myself safe from the
00:00:46 -->
00:00:51
different fitna, different tests, different temptations in this
00:00:51 -->
00:00:51
society?
00:00:52 -->
00:00:55
So, I remind myself of you, to keep
00:00:55 -->
00:00:57
yourself safe is very simple.
00:00:58 -->
00:01:00
It is not difficult.
00:01:00 -->
00:01:02
So, first of all, stop saying it is
00:01:02 -->
00:01:02
difficult.
00:01:03 -->
00:01:06
It is not difficult, right?
00:01:06 -->
00:01:07
You hear this all the time, oh, it
00:01:07 -->
00:01:08
is so tough, so difficult.
00:01:08 -->
00:01:10
No, it is not difficult.
00:01:10 -->
00:01:10
Who told you it is difficult?
00:01:12 -->
00:01:13
Very easy.
00:01:14 -->
00:01:18
It is very easy as long as I
00:01:18 -->
00:01:25
remember and remind myself that one day, if
00:01:25 -->
00:01:29
I live in this place, Rockford, and I
00:01:29 -->
00:01:32
die here, then they will bring my body
00:01:32 -->
00:01:38
to this masjid and Sheikh Ara, he will
00:01:38 -->
00:01:39
read my janaza.
00:01:41 -->
00:01:41
Yes?
00:01:42 -->
00:01:44
If I am not here, if I am
00:01:44 -->
00:01:49
somewhere, some masjid somewhere or some place, somebody
00:01:49 -->
00:01:52
will read my salatul janaza and I will
00:01:52 -->
00:01:52
be in my cover.
00:01:56 -->
00:01:58
And I will be alone before Allah.
00:02:02 -->
00:02:05
If I remember that, then there is no
00:02:05 -->
00:02:08
fitna which is so difficult that I cannot
00:02:08 -->
00:02:08
overcome.
00:02:08 -->
00:02:09
Which fitna?
00:02:09 -->
00:02:11
I have to ask myself.
00:02:11 -->
00:02:14
See, that is why Allah mentioned something in
00:02:14 -->
00:02:16
Surah Al-Alaq at the end.
00:02:17 -->
00:02:18
One small ayah.
00:02:19 -->
00:02:21
Alam ya'lam bi'anallaha yara.
00:02:23 -->
00:02:25
The asbaab and nuzul of this ayah, this
00:02:25 -->
00:02:26
ayah came for Abu Jahl.
00:02:27 -->
00:02:28
Allah said, does he not know that Allah
00:02:28 -->
00:02:29
is watching?
00:02:29 -->
00:02:31
Alam ya'lam bi'anallaha yara.
00:02:31 -->
00:02:33
Does he not know that Allah is seeing?
00:02:34 -->
00:02:38
But we know the kalamullah, asbaab an-nuzul,
00:02:39 -->
00:02:42
is, alhamdulillah, it comes for a reason there,
00:02:42 -->
00:02:45
but that applies to all of humanity till
00:02:45 -->
00:02:46
the end of time.
00:02:47 -->
00:02:49
So, alam ya'lam bi'anallaha yara is
00:02:49 -->
00:02:50
not only for Abu Jahl, it's for me,
00:02:50 -->
00:02:51
it's for you, for everybody.
00:02:52 -->
00:02:53
I must remember myself.
00:02:54 -->
00:02:56
Am I not aware that Allah is watching?
00:02:56 -->
00:03:00
So, if I'm doing something good, I'm doing
00:03:00 -->
00:03:02
tilawatul qur'an, am I aware that Allah
00:03:02 -->
00:03:02
is watching?
00:03:02 -->
00:03:04
Yes, Allah is watching, alhamdulillah.
00:03:06 -->
00:03:08
But if I'm committing some sin, may Allah
00:03:08 -->
00:03:10
protect us from committing sin, but if I'm
00:03:10 -->
00:03:12
committing some sin, I'm doing some ghiwa, I'm
00:03:12 -->
00:03:14
doing some namimah, I'm doing something, whatever it
00:03:14 -->
00:03:14
is.
00:03:15 -->
00:03:17
Alam ya'lam bi'anallaha yara.
00:03:18 -->
00:03:19
Am I not aware that my Lord is
00:03:19 -->
00:03:20
watching Jalla Jalaluhu?
00:03:21 -->
00:03:24
Then how can I do ghiwa about my
00:03:24 -->
00:03:24
brother?
00:03:27 -->
00:03:31
How can I play some politics and try
00:03:31 -->
00:03:32
to put this one down and that one
00:03:32 -->
00:03:32
up?
00:03:33 -->
00:03:35
How can I do that when my Lord
00:03:35 -->
00:03:36
is watching Jalla Jalaluhu?
00:03:40 -->
00:03:43
This religion of ours, the Islam, this is
00:03:43 -->
00:03:45
not the name of a philosophy.
00:03:45 -->
00:03:50
This is not hadi, laisa falsafa, wa laisa
00:03:50 -->
00:03:57
nazariya, hu ad-din, at-tariqa, tariqatul Muhammad
00:03:57 -->
00:03:59
sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa
00:03:59 -->
00:03:59
sallam.
00:04:00 -->
00:04:02
This is not a philosophy, this is not
00:04:02 -->
00:04:03
something...
00:04:07 -->
00:04:11
And that is why this deen is about
00:04:11 -->
00:04:13
practice, amal.
00:04:16 -->
00:04:18
Like I gave you the example yesterday, I
00:04:18 -->
00:04:25
think, there is somebody who knows about judo.
00:04:26 -->
00:04:29
He knows everything, how judo started, who was
00:04:29 -->
00:04:32
the first, and so on, and so on.
00:04:32 -->
00:04:34
And maybe he has a whole book of
00:04:34 -->
00:04:36
judo which he memorised completely.
00:04:37 -->
00:04:40
Then he goes on the street, somebody holds
00:04:40 -->
00:04:44
him up, gets into some fight, and he's
00:04:44 -->
00:04:45
flat on the floor, gone.
00:04:48 -->
00:04:51
You say, you know so much about judo.
00:04:52 -->
00:04:52
That is the problem.
00:04:53 -->
00:04:55
He knows about judo, he does not know
00:04:55 -->
00:04:55
judo.
00:04:57 -->
00:04:59
He does not know how to fight, he
00:04:59 -->
00:04:59
knows about it.
00:05:03 -->
00:05:05
Same thing, if I know about Islam.
00:05:05 -->
00:05:07
But I never practice Islam, I never pray.
00:05:08 -->
00:05:09
But you ask me about salah, I will
00:05:09 -->
00:05:11
give you a three-hour khatira, three-hour
00:05:11 -->
00:05:14
lecture on salah.
00:05:14 -->
00:05:19
All the usool, all the arqan, and mustahabat,
00:05:19 -->
00:05:22
and sunan, and the fadail, and everything else.
00:05:22 -->
00:05:23
If you leave it, this happens there.
00:05:24 -->
00:05:26
Alhamdulillah, mashaAllah, you know all this about salah.
00:05:27 -->
00:05:29
But the muazzin says, hayyala salah, hayyala falah,
00:05:29 -->
00:05:29
I'm going this way.
00:05:31 -->
00:05:32
Where are you going?
00:05:33 -->
00:05:34
No, I've got some work, my shop.
00:05:35 -->
00:05:37
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
00:05:37 -->
00:05:40
You know all this about salah, but you
00:05:40 -->
00:05:40
don't pray.
00:05:40 -->
00:05:41
So what is going to happen?
00:05:41 -->
00:05:43
Is Allah going to say, when I stand
00:05:43 -->
00:05:45
before Maharaj, Jalla Jalaluhu, and Allah says, see,
00:05:45 -->
00:05:46
salah, I say, no, it doesn't matter.
00:05:46 -->
00:05:48
For this guy, he wrote a book on
00:05:48 -->
00:05:49
salah, so this has been finished.
00:05:49 -->
00:05:49
No problem.
00:05:49 -->
00:05:50
You need not pray, no problem.
00:05:50 -->
00:05:51
Is it going to happen?
00:05:54 -->
00:05:56
Islam is not about something.
00:05:58 -->
00:05:59
Another one, example.
00:06:01 -->
00:06:02
What is the name of this book?
00:06:04 -->
00:06:05
In Arabic, what is the name of the
00:06:05 -->
00:06:05
book?
00:06:06 -->
00:06:06
Hathib.
00:06:07 -->
00:06:07
Hathib, right?
00:06:08 -->
00:06:09
I don't know how to read it.
00:06:09 -->
00:06:10
I don't know how to read it.
00:06:12 -->
00:06:15
What do you call this in English?
00:06:16 -->
00:06:16
Phone.
00:06:16 -->
00:06:16
Phone.
00:06:18 -->
00:06:19
And so on and so forth, right?
00:06:22 -->
00:06:23
Different names.
00:06:28 -->
00:06:30
So if I say I know the word
00:06:30 -->
00:06:32
Hathib, so very good, fantastic.
00:06:32 -->
00:06:33
Now please call Sheikh.
00:06:37 -->
00:06:40
There is a difference between knowing the name
00:06:40 -->
00:06:41
and knowing.
00:06:46 -->
00:06:47
We know the name Allah.
00:06:48 -->
00:06:49
We know the name Ar-Rahman.
00:06:49 -->
00:06:50
We know the name Ar-Rahim.
00:06:54 -->
00:06:55
But do you know Allah?
00:06:56 -->
00:06:58
Do you know Ar-Rahman?
00:06:58 -->
00:06:59
Do you know Ar-Rahim?
00:07:02 -->
00:07:02
What is the difference?
00:07:03 -->
00:07:12
The difference is, if I say child, so,
00:07:13 -->
00:07:14
we have the word, C-H-I-L
00:07:14 -->
00:07:14
-D.
00:07:16 -->
00:07:18
But if you have a child, for example,
00:07:18 -->
00:07:24
if I say to Sheikh, in your mind,
00:07:25 -->
00:07:28
are you seeing Wa-O-Lam-Dal or
00:07:28 -->
00:07:29
are you seeing the face of your child?
00:07:33 -->
00:07:34
He is not saying Wa-O-Lam-Dal.
00:07:34 -->
00:07:35
He is not saying C-H-I-L
00:07:35 -->
00:07:35
-D.
00:07:36 -->
00:07:37
No, he sees the face of his child.
00:07:37 -->
00:07:39
MashaAllah, may Allah bless his child and give
00:07:39 -->
00:07:42
him, make the Qur'an for him, inshaAllah.
00:07:43 -->
00:07:43
And everyone.
00:07:44 -->
00:07:44
And everyone, inshaAllah.
00:07:45 -->
00:07:48
I mean, because there is a taluq.
00:07:49 -->
00:07:51
The moment you say child is my child,
00:07:52 -->
00:07:53
you don't have to say your child.
00:07:53 -->
00:07:55
Child is my child.
00:07:57 -->
00:07:59
If I say father, I'm not saying F
00:07:59 -->
00:07:59
-A-D-A-G, no.
00:08:02 -->
00:08:06
If you tell me father, immediately, I remember
00:08:06 -->
00:08:06
my father.
00:08:09 -->
00:08:13
I remember for my entire memory.
00:08:15 -->
00:08:17
Maybe 40 years, Allah A'lam.
00:08:20 -->
00:08:24
Two o'clock in the night, I would
00:08:24 -->
00:08:26
hear the sound of the bucket in the
00:08:26 -->
00:08:26
bathroom.
00:08:27 -->
00:08:28
Those days, no hot and cold running water.
00:08:29 -->
00:08:30
This is the world before plastics.
00:08:31 -->
00:08:31
There were no plastics.
00:08:31 -->
00:08:33
The buckets were metal buckets.
00:08:34 -->
00:08:37
So you heard the handle of the bucket.
00:08:37 -->
00:08:38
My father would put the bucket on the
00:08:38 -->
00:08:40
ground or tank, and then the handle would
00:08:40 -->
00:08:40
drop.
00:08:40 -->
00:08:40
Clang.
00:08:42 -->
00:08:45
And I'm sleeping, and I know he has
00:08:45 -->
00:08:46
woken up for tahajjud.
00:08:47 -->
00:08:48
He would make wudu.
00:08:48 -->
00:08:49
He would pray tahajjud.
00:08:50 -->
00:08:51
Then he would sit, and he would recite
00:08:51 -->
00:08:51
Quran.
00:08:53 -->
00:08:54
He would not wake us up.
00:08:54 -->
00:08:55
Children are sleeping.
00:08:55 -->
00:08:55
He won't say.
00:08:56 -->
00:08:57
He would recite Quran.
00:08:58 -->
00:08:59
Then time for Salatul Fajr.
00:09:00 -->
00:09:02
Then he would come into the room.
00:09:02 -->
00:09:02
He would put on the light.
00:09:03 -->
00:09:04
He would pull out the blanket.
00:09:04 -->
00:09:06
As-salatu khairu minan-naum.
00:09:08 -->
00:09:09
May Allah forgive me.
00:09:09 -->
00:09:10
We used to hate it.
00:09:12 -->
00:09:14
But there is no exception.
00:09:15 -->
00:09:16
Nothing to say, no, no, you know, I
00:09:16 -->
00:09:18
worked very hard, and my examiner told me,
00:09:18 -->
00:09:21
no, you Salatul Fajr, you have to pray.
00:09:21 -->
00:09:24
If you are alive, you will stand here
00:09:24 -->
00:09:24
before Allah.
00:09:28 -->
00:09:28
No exceptions.
00:09:29 -->
00:09:29
Nothing.
00:09:29 -->
00:09:31
Even if you are sick, get up and
00:09:31 -->
00:09:32
pray two rakat of Salat.
00:09:32 -->
00:09:33
Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for shifa.
00:09:38 -->
00:09:39
Now he died.
00:09:39 -->
00:09:40
I remember it.
00:09:41 -->
00:09:43
Every day I make dua for him in
00:09:43 -->
00:09:43
sujood.
00:09:44 -->
00:09:49
And I ask Allah, Ya Rabb, the effect,
00:09:50 -->
00:09:51
knowing your Rabb.
00:09:52 -->
00:09:55
That is why the first quest in the
00:09:55 -->
00:09:57
Qabar is a question of ta'aluk.
00:09:57 -->
00:09:59
It is not a question of ilm.
00:10:01 -->
00:10:02
They will not ask, wa ma rabbul alameen?
00:10:02 -->
00:10:04
They will say, man rabbuka?
00:10:05 -->
00:10:07
Who is your Rabb?
00:10:07 -->
00:10:09
The malaika know who is Rabbul alameen.
00:10:09 -->
00:10:10
They don't have to ask you for it.
00:10:14 -->
00:10:16
They ask me, man rabbuk?
00:10:16 -->
00:10:17
Who is your Rabb?
00:10:19 -->
00:10:20
Rabbi Allah.
00:10:22 -->
00:10:24
And this is not something that we memorize
00:10:24 -->
00:10:25
now when you go in the Qabar.
00:10:25 -->
00:10:26
No, no.
00:10:26 -->
00:10:29
This is, if my life is according to
00:10:29 -->
00:10:31
Rabbi Allah, I will say Rabbi Allah.
00:10:32 -->
00:10:36
If my life is according to Rabbi something
00:10:36 -->
00:10:38
else, then I will not say Rabbi Allah.
00:10:43 -->
00:10:45
So I remind myself and you, and Sheikh
00:10:45 -->
00:10:46
said I will give a short khatr also.
00:10:46 -->
00:10:47
It has to be short.
00:10:47 -->
00:10:51
So I remind myself and you, let us
00:10:51 -->
00:10:53
work on this ta'aluk ma'allah.
00:10:55 -->
00:10:58
Our Rabb jalla jalaluhu, everything we have belongs
00:10:58 -->
00:10:58
to him.
00:11:00 -->
00:11:01
We love him.
00:11:03 -->
00:11:04
Ashadduhubbalillah.
00:11:04 -->
00:11:06
Walladheena amanu ashadduhubbalillah.
00:11:09 -->
00:11:10
So let us make sure ta'aluk ma
00:11:10 -->
00:11:11
'allah.
00:11:12 -->
00:11:15
Reflect and focus on the blessings of Allah.
00:11:16 -->
00:11:18
Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah.
00:11:18 -->
00:11:20
Imagine we are sitting in this country here
00:11:20 -->
00:11:26
in peace, in comfort, alhamdulillah, safety, nobody bothering
00:11:26 -->
00:11:26
us.
00:11:27 -->
00:11:29
We have beautiful masajid.
00:11:29 -->
00:11:33
We have mashallah beautiful shuyukh to teach us.
00:11:34 -->
00:11:35
We come and sit here.
00:11:35 -->
00:11:37
We learn from the best of the best.
00:11:37 -->
00:11:37
Alhamdulillah.
00:11:39 -->
00:11:40
We should thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:11:41 -->
00:11:41
Right?
00:11:41 -->
00:11:43
Sure, there are difficulties in the world.
00:11:43 -->
00:11:44
There are different things happening in the world.
00:11:44 -->
00:11:46
We make dua for them, but alhamdulillah what
00:11:46 -->
00:11:47
Allah has given us, we should thank.
00:11:48 -->
00:11:49
Alhamdulillah, ya Rabb, this is from you.
00:11:50 -->
00:11:50
Alhamdulillah.
00:11:51 -->
00:11:53
And then try to use this for the
00:11:53 -->
00:11:55
benefit and help of where it is needed.
00:11:56 -->
00:11:56
Ta'aluk.
00:11:56 -->
00:11:59
Four can focus on ta'aluk with Allah.
00:12:00 -->
00:12:02
And the way to make ta'aluk with
00:12:02 -->
00:12:05
Allah is through obedience to Allah.
00:12:07 -->
00:12:09
The way of expressing the love for Allah
00:12:10 -->
00:12:11
is by obudiyat.
00:12:13 -->
00:12:13
Right?
00:12:13 -->
00:12:15
People sometimes have this thing.
00:12:15 -->
00:12:17
They will sing beautiful nasheed.
00:12:18 -->
00:12:18
Right?
00:12:19 -->
00:12:21
And you will sing beautiful nasheed in praise
00:12:21 -->
00:12:22
of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
00:12:22 -->
00:12:23
Alhamdulillah, very nice.
00:12:24 -->
00:12:26
But you look in the life, you don't
00:12:26 -->
00:12:28
pray, you eat haram, you earn haram.
00:12:30 -->
00:12:31
Then where is this nasheed?
00:12:33 -->
00:12:36
You sing a beautiful nasheed in the praise
00:12:36 -->
00:12:36
of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
00:12:37 -->
00:12:37
Alhamdulillah.
00:12:37 -->
00:12:38
Mashallah, very nice.
00:12:39 -->
00:12:41
But in the life, there is not one
00:12:41 -->
00:12:41
sunnah.
00:12:42 -->
00:12:43
Not one sunnah in the life.
00:12:44 -->
00:12:45
Then what is the point of this nasheed?
00:12:45 -->
00:12:46
Tell me.
00:12:49 -->
00:12:50
So alhamdulillah, nasheed is good.
00:12:51 -->
00:12:51
You sing, no problem.
00:12:51 -->
00:12:54
But let us bring that ta'aluk with
00:12:54 -->
00:12:57
Allah and the ta'aluk with Rasulullah sallallahu
00:12:57 -->
00:12:59
alaihi wa sallam into our lives.
00:13:01 -->
00:13:03
And like I said yesterday, the best example
00:13:03 -->
00:13:04
is Salah.
00:13:05 -->
00:13:07
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, Afeemus Salah.
00:13:08 -->
00:13:10
And Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, Sallu
00:13:10 -->
00:13:11
kama ra'aitumuni usalli.
00:13:13 -->
00:13:15
So we pray, Afeemus Salah, alhamdulillah.
00:13:16 -->
00:13:17
Ya Rabb, I'm ready.
00:13:22 -->
00:13:23
How to do that?
00:13:23 -->
00:13:27
The way of Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa
00:13:27 -->
00:13:27
sallam.
00:13:28 -->
00:13:33
This principle, this format applies to everything in
00:13:33 -->
00:13:33
life.
00:13:33 -->
00:13:34
This is what we should remember.
00:13:35 -->
00:13:37
I pray like Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
00:13:37 -->
00:13:37
prayed.
00:13:38 -->
00:13:40
I will do business like he did business.
00:13:40 -->
00:13:41
I will treat my family the way he
00:13:41 -->
00:13:42
treated his family.
00:13:42 -->
00:13:43
I will raise my children the way he
00:13:43 -->
00:13:44
raised his children.
00:13:44 -->
00:13:46
I will walk in the street the way
00:13:46 -->
00:13:47
he walked in the street.
00:13:47 -->
00:13:50
I will deal with my neighbors, Muslim, non
00:13:50 -->
00:13:51
-Muslim, the way he dealt with neighbors.
00:13:52 -->
00:13:53
I will do my politics the way he
00:13:53 -->
00:13:54
did his politics.
00:13:54 -->
00:13:55
If I'm a ruler, I will rule the
00:13:55 -->
00:13:56
way he ruled.
00:13:57 -->
00:13:59
If I work for somebody, I will work
00:13:59 -->
00:14:00
the way he worked.
00:14:00 -->
00:14:00
Everything.
00:14:01 -->
00:14:03
The Salah is like a framework.
00:14:06 -->
00:14:09
Everything, this framework must apply to everything in
00:14:09 -->
00:14:10
life.
00:14:10 -->
00:14:11
Alhamdulillah.
00:14:12 -->
00:14:13
Then inshallah, we are free.
00:14:15 -->
00:14:17
Inshallah, we ask Allah for forgiveness.
00:14:18 -->
00:14:19
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Jalla
00:14:19 -->
00:14:24
Jalaluhu to help us to benefit from the
00:14:24 -->
00:14:25
ni'mat that he has given us.
00:14:26 -->
00:14:30
The biggest of the ni'mat is the Elm
00:14:30 -->
00:14:32
of Deen, Islam.
00:14:33 -->
00:14:37
And therefore, respect and value the people of
00:14:37 -->
00:14:38
their knowledge.
00:14:40 -->
00:14:41
And respect is not simply to say, As
00:14:41 -->
00:14:42
-salamu alaykum.
00:14:42 -->
00:14:42
No, no, no.
00:14:42 -->
00:14:45
Respect is to sit and learn.
00:14:46 -->
00:14:46
That is respect.
00:14:47 -->
00:14:48
Respect is to sit in the company and
00:14:48 -->
00:14:49
learn.
00:14:53 -->
00:14:54
So spend that time.
00:14:57 -->
00:14:58
Don't come and then say, no, no, speak
00:14:58 -->
00:14:59
only for 10 minutes.
00:14:59 -->
00:14:59
No.
00:15:00 -->
00:15:01
Sit and learn.
00:15:02 -->
00:15:02
This is value.
00:15:02 -->
00:15:03
Alhamdulillah.
00:15:05 -->
00:15:08
And I can tell you, and inshallah Sheikh
00:15:08 -->
00:15:12
will agree with me, what comes out of
00:15:12 -->
00:15:17
your heart is brought out, is taken out
00:15:17 -->
00:15:18
by the audience.
00:15:20 -->
00:15:23
The Ishtiaq of the audience takes it out
00:15:23 -->
00:15:23
from your heart.
00:15:24 -->
00:15:24
Pleasure?
00:15:24 -->
00:15:25
Of course.
00:15:25 -->
00:15:26
No doubt.
00:15:27 -->
00:15:27
Knowledge is there.
00:15:27 -->
00:15:28
It is there.
00:15:28 -->
00:15:29
It will be there with people.
00:15:29 -->
00:15:30
But people don't ask.
00:15:30 -->
00:15:31
And not because we don't want to, but
00:15:31 -->
00:15:32
because there is no shaukh.
00:15:32 -->
00:15:34
The person sitting there is like a dead
00:15:34 -->
00:15:35
body.
00:15:35 -->
00:15:36
He is not interested.
00:15:36 -->
00:15:37
He is waiting to go.
00:15:38 -->
00:15:38
He looks at his phone.
00:15:38 -->
00:15:39
He looks at his watch.
00:15:39 -->
00:15:40
He looks at what happened over 10 minutes,
00:15:40 -->
00:15:41
5 minutes.
00:15:42 -->
00:15:42
Go.
00:15:43 -->
00:15:43
Go.
00:15:46 -->
00:15:48
But when there is Ishtiaq, when there is
00:15:48 -->
00:15:51
shaukh, when there is this talab from the
00:15:51 -->
00:15:54
audience, from the people, then Allah subhanahu wa
00:15:54 -->
00:15:57
ta'ala makes what is in the heart
00:15:57 -->
00:15:57
to come out.
00:15:58 -->
00:16:01
To take it and draw it and value
00:16:01 -->
00:16:02
it and learn.
00:16:03 -->
00:16:04
Nobody is there forever.
00:16:05 -->
00:16:07
So when the person is there, make use
00:16:07 -->
00:16:08
of it, Inshallah.
00:16:08 -->
00:16:09
Right?
00:16:09 -->
00:16:10
So ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to
00:16:10 -->
00:16:13
enable us to appreciate what He has given
00:16:13 -->
00:16:14
us, to thank.
00:16:14 -->
00:16:16
We thank Allah for this.
00:16:16 -->
00:16:17
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to
00:16:17 -->
00:16:19
make it a source of khair and barakah
00:16:19 -->
00:16:20
for all of us.
00:16:21 -->
00:16:22
Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to bless
00:16:22 -->
00:16:25
the Sheikh, to bless all of you, to
00:16:25 -->
00:16:28
bless this beautiful masjid and to keep all
00:16:28 -->
00:16:30
of you and this masjid and everyone associated
00:16:30 -->
00:16:33
with it in its special care and its
00:16:33 -->
00:16:34
special protection.
00:16:35 -->
00:16:36
Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to keep
00:16:36 -->
00:16:38
this masjid free from every kind of fitnah.
00:16:39 -->
00:16:41
Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to join
00:16:41 -->
00:16:43
the hearts of the brothers and sisters together
00:16:43 -->
00:16:47
and to any ikhtilaf, alhamdulillah, we deal with
00:16:47 -->
00:16:50
the ikhtilaf with the adab ul ikhtilaf of
00:16:50 -->
00:16:52
the Nabi a.s. So the ikhtilaf does
00:16:52 -->
00:16:54
not become a means of breaking up.
00:16:54 -->
00:16:56
It becomes a means of joining together, Inshallah.
00:16:56 -->
00:16:58
There will be ikhtilaf.
00:16:58 -->
00:17:00
Believe me, there was ikhtilaf among the Sahaba.
00:17:00 -->
00:17:01
Ridwanullahi alaihi wasalam.
00:17:01 -->
00:17:04
But nobody pronounced takfir on the other person
00:17:04 -->
00:17:06
and nobody fought the other person and nobody
00:17:06 -->
00:17:06
insulted the other person.
00:17:07 -->
00:17:08
They dealt with the ikhtilaf in the way
00:17:08 -->
00:17:12
of the Rasul a.s. Alhamdulillah, this is
00:17:12 -->
00:17:12
possible.
00:17:12 -->
00:17:13
We know what to do.
00:17:13 -->
00:17:14
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us
00:17:14 -->
00:17:16
free from this.
00:17:16 -->
00:17:16
Keep our hearts together.
00:17:17 -->
00:17:19
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give you
00:17:19 -->
00:17:21
children and the children you have, may Allah
00:17:21 -->
00:17:24
make them a source of grace and mercy
00:17:24 -->
00:17:27
and Sadaqah Jariyat for all of you.
