AI: Summary ©

The importance of spiritual health and bringing others to the truth is crucial for achieving success in life. The use of pictures of food and negative arguments in briefs to point out to people who have been rewarded for their actions is key for achieving success. The importance of finding the right way to express one's true intentions and avoiding negative consequences is also emphasized.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Tila Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam O Allah.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:24
			Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, just leemon Kaziranga tierra formado My dear
brothers and sisters, we are talking about and this is the class lessons from the mBiA Mr. Lam and
we are looking at the lessons from the life of
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:48
			Ibrahim alayhis salam, the father of the Gambia afternoon, Ali salam, and one about whom Allah
subhanaw taala, who Allah mentioned, and also Allah told us to follow and emulate the busua the way
and the life of Salah.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:05
			And that's why we are looking at the lessons from his life, the first lesson that will notice his
concern for spiritual health, spiritual welfare, his own, and that of his people.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:17
			See what I'm Elisa Lam was concerned about the spiritual welfare of his people, and about his own
spiritual health.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			Now,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:28
			as I mentioned, it's customary for us today to worry about our physical health.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:57
			But we have very little concern for anything other than our physical health, our moral health, our
spiritual health. For most of us, we have even lost the idea itself, we have lost the concept of
what is the meaning of physical of spiritual health? How do I even assess whether I'm spiritually
healthy or sick?
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			One of the ways of assessing that is to see what are the
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:17
			what's the state of my heart. And I know I'm probably speaking in riddles as far as many people are
concerned. But what else do I do I mean, I can only try and explain as much as I can explain.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:28
			So the issue of spiritual health is a matter of great importance. And
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34
			we asked Allah subhanaw taala, to help us to understand this.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:03:09
			Now around Islam, therefore spent his time and his entire life and his resources isn't the thing of
all the available cylinder, we're concerned about the spiritual health of people, because at the end
of the day, the spirit is what continues, the body will perish, no matter how healthy or sick The
body was, it's going to be left behind here in this world. And what remains is the Spirit. And
therefore to be concerned about something which is perishable, while we have no concern for
something which is
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			not perishable, which is
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			everlasting, makes no sense at all.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			The second lesson that we learned from the library primary Salaam is
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			his
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			10.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:35
			Now, think about this, today, we are used to thinking of welfare
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			in a very,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			in a very
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:51
			constricted and limited sense, right, which is, again, physical welfare.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:19
			So we'll talk about people who are hungry, who do not have shelter or do not have clothes, who may
need medical attention, and all of that everything to do with the physical world. And those people
who spend their time and energy trying to help others in need, and by need again, we mean these
things mean, somebody who's trying to feed the hungry, somebody who's trying to,
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			to get medical
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			aid, the sick,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:59
			is trying to give homes to the homeless, people who do not have shelter and so on. All such
activities we commend we recommend them, we applaud them, we try to support them. And we speak well
of all those people who take part in or indulge in these activities. And that is exactly how it
should be. So I've got no problem with it. I'm not I'm not for a moment, saying that it should be
anything other than this. Yes, indeed. That's how it should be. However,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:05
			What about concern for the spiritual welfare of people,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			just as a person body is hungry, the person's spirit is off.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:39
			And the food for the body does not feed and the food for the body does no good for the soul is
different. The food for the body is what we eat. The Food for the Soul on the other hand is the
connection with Allah subhanaw taala is a seeker of Allah subhanaw taala This is the Food for the
Soul and his soul which is not getting that food because that soul does not believe in Allah
subhanaw taala by soul, I mean the other human being
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:01
			that person does not believe in Allah subhanaw taala so obviously, that person is not making the
call of Allah, obviously, that person is not reading the Kitab of Allah and so on. He's not
worshiping Allah, he's not he's not you know, establishing salah and so forth, that person's spirit
is as hungry it is as
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:08
			starved as a person's body would be if they had no food.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			Now, my point is how much of concerned we have for that,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:27
			this is what we see with the NBA musala right, they had concern for that. I think about this, that
if you are hungry, you know physically, nobody is hungry. And
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:37
			this hungry person comes to you asking for asking to be fed as it is, you know, I need food, can you
please give me some food.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:46
			So you bring this boss in to sit them down in front of huge 60 feet at I mean, 60 inches, 80 inches,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:41
			widescreen television set. And on this television set, you showed them pictures of food, I told them
beautiful pictures, three dimensional picture of food. And then may also, you know to enhance their
experience, you also have an aroma producing thing where you are producing aroma as well. So when
this person is seeing the pictures of the food, they are also smelling these beautiful sense of the
food as well. So they're getting both they're getting the the taste or the smell of the food and the
the seeing the pictures of food. But tell me what will it do to the hunger? Will the hunger be
satisfied? Will they stop feeling hungry? And they say okay, I'm saturated, I'm hungry, my stomach
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			is full? or
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			looking at pictures of the food and
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:56
			you know, smelling the aroma of the food without eating the food? Is it going to make their hunger
worse? What is it? What is it?
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:12
			Because the picture is not food, picture of the food is lovely. I think about it from the
perspective of the soul, that when the soul is hungry, when the soul is yearning for the connection
with Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			what is the food that we are giving to the soul?
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			be feeding the soul What are we doing,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:26
			and if you are not giving food to that soul, how is that souls hunger to be satisfied.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			And when the soul is hungry and does not get satisfied becomes weak,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:43
			it becomes weak. And then when it is attacked by stress and my fears and my you know, anxieties, it
cannot battle them.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:54
			And so it succumbs the extreme case of that is suicide. But you you I mean, people may not get to
that they might have other issues,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:06
			you know, which are apparently less but like depression and so on and so forth. So they're not
committing suicide, but they are definitely not happy. All of this because the soul is getting no
food.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:45
			Now this is what the embryology mussalam came to teach us. And to do. So wherever is Sam's single
biggest concern was to invite others to the truth. Now I submit to you that this inviting others to
the truth is really the single is a sign of concern. The single biggest sign of concern and
compassion is to invite others to the truth. This is the this is something that I want to do. I want
you to think about that.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:59
			If the person as I said, you know if the sign of compassion is to fill the belly, that's a sign of
compassion. But what about somebody who's concerned about the everlasting life of a person and the
two are not
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			mutually exclusive, it doesn't mean that if you feed a person that you need not talk to them, what
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:40
			we're going to talk about revenue should not feed the No, both of them. Both of these things go hand
in hand, as a matter of fact, many of the great machines, first, put food in the belly, then talk to
him about Allah subhana wa Tada, because the man is hungry, can't think the person is hungry, they
can't think. So first, give them food, and after they have eaten, then you talk to them about the
glory and magnificence of Allah and then they are willing to listen. Also, because they have eaten
your food, they feel more obliged to sit and listen to what you have to say. So first feed the
people but at the end of that, if you're feeding the people, but you're not concerned about them,
		
00:10:40 --> 00:11:08
			and so when you are concerned about the everlasting life, it's a sign of, in my view, the greatest
sign of compassion and kindness. Alice Mandela said, well, aka Tina Ibrahim urrutia, who mean
kaaboo, we're gonna be alameen. Allah said, and indeed, We bestowed a four time on Ibrahim Alayhi
Salam guidance, and we were well acquainted with him as far as the his belief
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			in the ACA was concerned.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:20
			Now what I'm Elisa Lam's had a unique way of giving power to people, and his way of giving out to
people was to
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			use their own arguments
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:31
			with them, so that they could see
		
00:11:32 --> 00:12:12
			the futility of their arguments. So even when Sam didn't go directly and say, What you are saying is
wrong. What you're saying is false. Uncle Sam said, Okay, this is what you're saying. So let us see.
Now how does that work out? So for example, algebra salam, now Allah mentioned his conversation with
the people who's to worship, celestial bodies used to worship the sun and the moon. So Allah
subhanaw taala said, When the night covered him over with darkness, he saw a star so he's having
this conversation with somebody who's talking to them, he saw the star and he said, This is my inner
meaning that this is the one that you are worshipping, you're worshipping the star. So here is the
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:22
			star, you are saying that these stars affect your future in life, what do astrologers do this is
what this is all about, you know, you should not start your work in this month, because
		
00:12:23 --> 00:13:08
			the Rahu is in the circle of the ghetto or some you know, whatever the stars names, so, this star is
influencing that star. And therefore, this is a string of this this time is bad luck, and you must
not leave your house at this time and this is Rahu column and this is Kato column. This is a wrong
time to leave the house. So leaves out after you know this particular time nine o'clock. There are
people who actually do this bizarre people who, who concern this and follow this religiously every
day they don't they won't leave their house and if they if it is not the so called right time. And
last rantala said well as unless by the time I let explain to us, who is in laws and who is not in
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:56
			us, Allah subhanaw taala said is not your time and this and that. Who is in laws and who is not in
laws while acid in in Santa Fe, everybody is in loss. The whole lesson I listed here by time itself,
not the standard by time itself. Let's say that all of humankind is in loss in Berlin, Sara Illallah
Xena Armando Emmylou sala de voto. So we'll have to miss out on last month and I said except, except
a luncheon for things except the one who has a man who has faith in Allah subhanho wa Taala who has
who believes in the heat of Allah, who believes in Muhammad's hammer hammer hammer Mustafa
sallallahu Sallam as the last and final maybe in la luz in Amman. Why will Sally hottie and then he
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			follows that man up with good deeds,
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:40
			what was the sub what was key what was his summer and he invites others towards the truth and then
he has patience with whatever difficulty that may come upon him. Now unless mentioning that to us
very clearly. So now here you got people who who believe in stars and will believe in all of these
you know astrological things and then it will be even worse to believe in feng shui and who believe
in tarot cards and all of this in Islam is haram. All of this amounts to open schilke Please do not
do that never consult an astrologer, they don't know their head from their tail. They're fooling us.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:15:00
			So Allah subhanaw taala is saying here in Revelation, I'm saying this he said when I covered him
with darkness, he saw star and he said, This is my job. But when it said he said, I do not like
those that sense. So he's saying to these people, you're worshipping a star, we're okay, here's a
star. So let's say this is this is our and then the
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:21
			Stop sets the mind the mind and come to consciousness. Boys, what kind of rubbish this what kind of
God is this? He disappears and reappears. So he seems to be the God has no control over himself over
himself, the God can and can't protect himself. He comes and goes. So this is we don't, we don't
worship. I don't like something which
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			rises and sets like that.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			Then
		
00:15:27 --> 00:16:06
			he said, when he saw the moon rising up, he said, This is mine. But then when it said, he said,
unless my rock guides me, I will surely be among the earning people. Again, the same thing you see
is the more oil looks bigger. Obviously, the stars, in many cases, star is far bigger than the moon,
but it's very far away. And so therefore, we, it appears very small to us. But you say, Well, here,
the star star said, so this is not my God. Now, here's a boom, it looks bigger. So this one has to
be the God then then the moon set, so no God. And then he said, when he saw the sun rising up, he
said, This is my IRA. This is the greatest, this is greater. And when it said, he said, Oh my
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10
			people, indeed, I'm free from all that you join us.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			Now
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:31
			Sarah, is using the same arguments using the arguments that the people use to worship others than
Allah. And he's showing to them how baseless and pointless their arguments are. So Allah saying you
worship
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:55
			the star, this is the star This is what you study. You worship the moon? Well, there's the moon
rises and sets, how do you rely on something? Which has seems to have no control over itself? And
then you have the sun is all fantastic. This is the biggest and so on and so forth. But really, is
it? Is it the biggest is it I mean, it's bigger than the standard and then the
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:02
			is bigger than the moon and and you know, so on. But what about the second
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			experiment with this lighting? Sorry about that?
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:21
			So what about the What about the sun? Same thing? Anybody that I am free from your beliefs here is
using the arguments of the people to show to the people
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			how false their beliefs are.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:44
			For some reason, can somebody help me with this thing? How do I get color back in there man, there
is a lot of sun. I'm getting this kind of see if I do this. Somehow partially cover the camera or
something like this. It's you can get the color in the back it looks so nice. But
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:55
			so I think I got a call my face that's hardly a choice. I think I should call my face. We're on the
cover.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:15
			So I'm now saying that I'm free so he's using his he's using the arguments of the people to convince
the people that their arguments are false. And then of course, you will have a Sam said that which
with which we begin our Salah, mini vegetto jalila
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:40
			honey ven Mama, and I'm enormously keen, he said Verily, I have turned myself my face towards Him,
who created the heavens and the earth, honey van which is Islamic monotheism. And I am mama and
Amazon was tricky and I'm not of the Murphy cool I do not am don't belong to the people who are the
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:55
			sort of acid which I which I mentioned to you a little bit earlier. It tells us the sequence you
have in mind, you do good deeds, and then you start inviting people towards the truth. That's when
you start getting pushback. That's when you start getting
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:04
			people get upset with you. Now, no matter how illogical it looks, here, you are concerned about
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			about the the
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:45
			eternal welfare of people and instead of appreciating what you are doing, people actually push back
people actually fight you. So even Amelie salam, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned what happened with
him. And Allah said, his people dispute he has guided me and I do not fear those whom you associate
the law in worship, nothing can happen to me except when my Allah Subhana Allah wills, except when
he will something la la, la la la la. Nothing can happen unless Allah wills it. My rub comprehends
in his knowledge, all things, will you then not remember.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:59
			And then he said, and how should I feel those whom you associate in worship with Allah, though they
can neither benefit nor harm, you can see that yourself but you still want to fool yourself. While
you do not fear that
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:16
			You have joined in worship with a lot of things for which he has not sent down to you and your
authority. So you've always had I was saying to them, you asked me to fear your idols, who can do
nothing. Whereas you don't fear Allah who can do everything.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:27
			So which of the two parties has more right to be in security? If you But no, remember, he said, I'm
saying that
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			I am not afraid of
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:37
			idols and you are not afraid of Allah. So who's at fault, who's right who is wrong?
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:50
			And then the last one, that I said it is those who believe in Allah and worshipping alone.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:21:41
			And do not confuse the belief with Zola which is worshiping others other than Allah. For them only
there is security, and they are rightly guided. And that was people. And Allah said we raise home we
will in degrees. And certainly Europe is all wise, all knowing, my brother, sisters, Allah Subhana,
Allah is basically giving us a beautiful message in this in the set of ayat in the life of Romulus
Allah, which is the fundamental foundational point of the heat, which is that law, natural law in
the law, that nobody can harm, nobody can benefit except the last La hawla wala quwata in Lebanon,
that there is no
		
00:21:43 --> 00:22:09
			power, there is no Iran there is no intention, there is no ability except for the loss of Hamilton.
And that is why we say la ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasul Allah, and therefore we say that there's no
one worthy of worship except Allah Subhana Allah, and that Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam is the last
and final messenger of Allah subhanaw taala, who we believe in my brothers and sisters, this is the
fundamental
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:16
			fundamental belief of the head that we are on as Muslims and even Emilie Salam is the one who,
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			who I want to start it because it just came from Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:36
			Barbara Muslim definitely is the is the is the, the founder of that as far as these three what we
know as Abrahamic faiths are concerned. So Alhamdulillah
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:47
			Where do I stand on this? Because the purpose of these classes is not simply to tell you a story,
the purpose is to also ask these questions and say, Where do I stand in this?
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:55
			And I am talking about Ibrahim alayhis salam, and what he primarily Salam believed in, and what a
blind man is Salam
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:04
			preached, where do I stand in this? If I will, if Sam came here today? What
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:18
			would he see me and recognize me as a person of tawheed? Or if a variable is around looked at my
life? If he looked at what I if you could see inside inside my heart,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:33
			would you find a heart which was like his heart? Which is pure from anything other than unless 100?
Or what do you find a heart in which I don't worship idols outside, but my heart is full of idols.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:41
			I have the idols of which I fear, which is the power of the world and the creatures of the world.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:51
			Which is idols where I look forward, I hope, from people from human beings from others from
creatures,
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			I hope from
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:14
			from, from the time from concepts from Wall Street, right? What What, what is my heart? What has
what is inside my heart, if we were Emily ceram came here and he looked at me and said, What will
you recognize me and say, Alhamdulillah, you are one of mine. You are one of my one of my people. I
will say, No, no, no, hold on.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			I don't recognize you. Who are you?
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			Who are you?
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:28
			This purpose is for us to look at ourselves and say, Where do I stand when I'm looking at the life
of an abbey?
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:44
			How do I compare and I'm not saying compare yourself with me. Obviously not we can't compare with a
mirror is me talking about specific characteristics. We're talking about behaviors. We're talking
about decisions. We're talking about how these MBR labels salon what they did where they did and why
did
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:58
			Allah subhanaw taala mentioned about me the sermon he said, when I add the woman if he Laila one of
our workshops will cover Julie Shamsi will early recovery was to hula hula de holla online
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			So the afterwards
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			about the sun and the moon and people worshipping them and,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:46
			and you know, asking favors from them and so on and so forth. Allah subhanaw taala, saying and from
among the signs of Allah are the night and the day and the sun and the moon, they are analyst
creatures, they are creatures of a lie, they are not even the biggest and the most glorious
creatures, Allah has created things, which are much bigger and better than that. But these are the
creatures of Allah that don't make such that the sun or to the moon, but makes us that loss of
Hannah Horton, who created them. If you really worship Allah, if you really worship Allah, then you
do what Allah subhanaw taala told you to do, which is the
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:52
			that you worship only Allah and not highroller not something other than Allah.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:26:00
			As they say charity begins at home see what Emily Salaam started his Tao from his own home from his
own father as are.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:10
			Some of the scholars have said that Azur was not his father was more an uncle or something like that
who had adopted him.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:56
			Allah knows best and that's not that's not particularly. It's not an important thing. But we know
that he was the father figure in the life of family. And he was somebody who made idols he used to
he was a sculptor, or he was used to make idols in whichever way that they had of picking idols. So
even when Islam started with him, obviously he's got, he's living in a house full of idols his
father has has this workshop in which he makes idols. So he's saying to his father, he and insalata,
Miriam, all of these were Allah subhanaw. taala is telling us the Brahma Salam said, The meaning is,
oh, my father, verily that has come to me of knowledge, that which did not come to so follow me. I
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:04
			will guide you to a straight path. And then he said, Oh, my father don't worship site that verily
shaitan has been a rebel against
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:29
			against the last panel donor. And he said, Oh, my father, verily, I felt Leicester Trabant, from the
most benefits and from our amount of Allah subhanaw taala Mr. Trump overtakes you, so that you
become a companion of the shaytan in the hellfire. And then he said, he, the father said, Do reject
my gods, we were him from me, before I punish you. This is the reaction of the Father.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:28:14
			Let me read all the translation of all these words and we'll come back to this. Then you will have a
Sarah Bala said and then Abraham Elisa Lam said, peace be upon him, Salam Alaikum, I will ask
forgiveness of my rub from you. Verily he is unto me ever, most generous, and I shall turn away from
you and from those whom you invoke besides Allah, and I shall call on my Arab gelato. And I hope
that I shall not be unblessed in my door to my Arab geology. So when you turn away from them and
from those whom they worshipped besides Allah subhanaw taala we gave him his heart and your hope.
And each of them we made a prophet Allah is talking about the next two generations, and we gave them
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:24
			of our mercy, a good provision and plenty and we granted the honor on the tongues of all nations.
Think about it, this is Allah subhanaw taala as
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:30
			is Allah tell us, you know, the
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			the blessing of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:56
			Today, think about distant people. They keep these names and the new primary Salah Misaki Salam
jacobellis is my Salah, all of these names are honored. These are names of great honor people honor
these names, they honor these people. And all of this they do because these people were the Gambia
and they were obedient to
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:22
			you who Allah Subhana Allah orders who Allah honors, nobody can dishonor and who Allah subhanaw
taala dishonors and leaves to be dishonored. Nobody can bring them back on. There is a man Tasha,
Tasha, Allah give is to who he wants. And he gives humility, humiliation to who he wants, without
even removing them from their positions. Just think about in the recent past how many
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:42
			so called great leaders of this world have we seen and even right now as I speak, how many so called
great leaders of this world out there who are sitting in positions of power, but you talk to any
person except for in some cases, some of their completely insane support?
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:59
			Or talk to almost any person and the only thing they can say about that stuff, right? People the
whole time so where is this? There's no is they sitting in a city you've got some some political
authority. He's got some military authority. He's got some wealth.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:17
			You know, living in a in multi accommodation. But other than that, what is the is where is the honor
on that person. Whereas if you if you take the umbrella mussalam they didn't live in big palaces,
right except for Mr. Lisa Mendoza. They didn't i didn't even be policy but
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:30
			rather reserved for the, for the most of his life, he lived in a tent because he was traveling all
the time. So you have people who had more wealth, no power, no authority they didn't have they
didn't rule countries.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:31:12
			They didn't live in big palaces, right. They didn't have private aircraft or anything. But their
name has lasted for literally four centuries, their name is taken with honor for 2000 years. People
name their children after that Nabhi with the belief that this name is something which is full of
Baraka, and which can be beneficial for the child. In any case, that name is something which
attracts or draws our attention to emulate the person whose name we have kept for ourselves or of
our children. So this is the beauty of of who
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:17
			Now, think about this data, all these ads, which I read for you, Maria, by
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:35
			the way, where Emily ceram invited his father to Islam. Now Alhamdulillah This is one of the ways of
the MBR that they used to be very direct in what they were saying. And again, of course, Allah
subhanaw taala is mentioning this in briefs, or Ledger's telling us this what he said, the gist of
what he said.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			Now, you might say, Well, you know,
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			if therefore now I see
		
00:31:42 --> 00:32:20
			somebody who's doing something wrong, and especially parents, especially parents, especially people,
elder relatives, people who are in authority, people who are who have you as a as a die may not have
that authority, you are not one of the community leaders. But here is this person who's a community
leader, who is who believe you should give the power to what is the best way? Is it the best way to
say, look, you are on the wrong path. And if you don't leave this wrong path, you're going to be in
the Hellfire Russia, is this the best way to do that? Now again, I am not criticizing Iran, Melissa,
I
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:44
			am not saying that is what you did was wrong. I'm just saying that. If you are giving Dawa,
especially to older people, and especially to parents, I'm saying especially for people who are one
for people who are reverts. And secondly, also for people, young people who come to Islam, Allah
gives you the trophy conoscimiento Donna opens your hearts and minds
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:59
			to himself to his thee into his glory to His Majesty. And you find yourself now with your older
relatives in maybe including your parents who don't follow the religion as closely as you do or who
maybe you
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:33
			probably don't follow it at all. In some cases, just the name is Muslim. In some cases, you might
find that the parents are doing things which are actually Haram. You know, they are gambling,
they're going to the betting on resources. They're drinking alcohol. They're doing things which
Allah has prohibited which processes barbiturates, what is the best way to say to them? Is it to say
to them that if you continue on this path, it would be in the Hellfire? No, that is the overall
meaning. So what I'm as I said, I'm not criticizing the Prime Minister.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:42
			What he said was absolutely true. But the way he would go about that would be with much more tact
and with with, with a lot of
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:44
			with a lot of
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:51
			patience, more than anything else. Where, where, if you look at the
		
00:33:52 --> 00:34:09
			the earlier, the environment is hamdallah with regard to the people who are worshipping celestial
bodies, I mean, I would say that maybe that's, that's a way of approaching and asking them questions
to say, this is what you are doing. Do you think what you're doing is right?
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:50
			Don't you think? Do you think that this is the right thing to do? What do you think about this when
you meet Allah subhanaw taala you know, these are the kinds of the way we give our has to suit the
situation, the kind of people that we are giving the power to. And the problem with giving the power
to people who have authority over you, especially parents is that their tendency would be to not to
not obey you will not follow you because you are you are a Pollyanna you know you're a little kid in
front of them they will never recognize that you are no longer a little kid and they will always
treat you as if
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:59
			so their whole tendency will be to go away you know i i used to change your your nappies. Once upon
a time. Yes.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:09
			That's true. You changed my nappies. And so I'm most grateful to you. And that's the reason why I
don't want you to be in a mess tomorrow. Therefore, I would like to
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:20
			like to point out to you that what you're doing is something which is going to get you into serious
trouble, if you don't stop doing it. So I think this is
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:33
			just some thoughts as far as the methodology of dow is concerned. So I'm, again, as I said, I'm not
I'm against things again, and again, because I don't want somebody jumping down my throat saying
that I was
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			criticizing temporary setup. No.
		
00:35:39 --> 00:36:27
			I'm just saying that reflect on this and say, number one, the lesson we learn is the importance of
doubt, the importance of spiritual health, the importance of giving the power of inviting people
towards to, to the truth. And we the lesson we learn is, or maybe need to reflect on and think about
is, what is the best way to do that? What is the best way to invite people to the truth? And what's
the best way to do that in a way where it is more acceptable to the people think about is my brother
and sisters that before and this is a general advice, as far as communication is concerned,
especially about contentious issues, especially about things where people may disagree with you, and
		
00:36:27 --> 00:37:06
			there is nothing more contentious than religion. So when you are talking to people think about this,
do you want them to accept what you are saying? Or do you just want to say what you are saying and
which is the? What is your purpose? If your purpose is simply to say what you are saying, then you
can say it, I mean, it doesn't matter. You can say whatever you like, you know, any way you like,
because you're you you've defined your purposes, my purpose is to say, so I'm going to say it, and
I'd say whatever, however I want. But that would be foolish. And that that's then there's no point
in that. On the other hand, if you define your purpose, and say, my purpose is to get the other
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:18
			person to at least listen to me, I mean, not even person obey me, even if the person doesn't accept
what I'm saying, at least that person must give me a patient hearing.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:38:07
			I do, whereby a person will give me a patient, then I have to look at myself to say, How can I say
what I have to say in a way, which this person who will faint, even if not acceptable, at least
bearable, right? tolerable. So the person wants to get up and walk away the person, the person won't
punch me in the face. You know, the person won't throw me out of his house, he will at least listen
to me. And then we go in the night and we stand before on tele and we may draw, and we go into Jude
and we cry. And we ask Allah Subhana Allah to guide and give you that, because only Allah can give
you that that cannot be your neighbor. Yes. So this is the whole issue of the hour, which is to give
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:52
			the hour during the day and to ask for help in the night. I mean, these are two things, which have
to be done in tandem together. If we want to succeed, otherwise, you cannot get success unless we do
these two things together. So that's very, very important to remember. I remind myself a new camera.
Let us try to learn the best lesson the most beautiful lessons from the life of this beautiful Navy
of Allah. Ibrahim alayhi salam, the halal of Allah, the favorite of Allah and the father of the
Gambia Lima Salaam and the father of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam inshallah, we talk more about this
in the next class we ask Allah subhanaw taala to accept coming and to being here and we ask Allah
		
00:38:52 --> 00:39:09
			subhanaw taala to help us to do that which is pleasing to Him. Sorry, I keep doing my hands. Yeah,
there is not a not dancing or something. There are small mosquitoes which are flying in my face and
trying to get into my eyes behind my glasses. Just like a Corolla, Corolla.
