The speakers discuss the importance of understanding the meaning of "slack" in Islam, rather than just knowing what is already understood. They stress the importance of faith in Islam and the power of the "hasn't happened" concept to avoid drastic changes. The conversation also touches on the negative consequences of COVID-19, including cutting hospital bills and restrictions on hospital bills, and the importance of staying in control and not giving inbound calls. The segment ends with a call to wake up and a statement about the importance of being aware of one's behavior and not giving inbound calls.

			Bismillah R Rahman Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala Muslim hammertoes ally
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam just leaving a theater from abajo. Nevertheless, it is
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:42
			this beautiful grass that is behind me. I don't know if you can see it, but I want to show the see
this is the the way the leaf is it's got these white stripes on the leaf. This edge is extremely
sharp, it's like a knife. It's red, it has minute serrations. And it can cut like a knife. If you
run your hand over it, you're gone. And this particular
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			bush of glass, if I can call it that
		
00:00:49 --> 00:01:00
			is if I'm not mistaken, my friend told me it's about 30 or 40 years old. So this grass is old. And
it's like this. And in this is in.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			I'm in wilbraham in,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:09
			in Massachusetts. So it gets extremely, extremely cold here in the winters
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:29
			that have been done in temperatures. And we definitely go to minus 20 routinely, San Diego even even
more than that. Yet this grass survives is one of the great survival stories of the creation of
Allah Subhana Allah. So Allah He redeems one labmd.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:02:08
			So I thought, let me show this graph students you can see in the picture Also, if you look, you can
see these beautiful stripes on the grass. It's not just the sun. But this is actual white coloring
on the grass. And why it has that and so on. I really don't know what it's very beautiful to see. We
are in the session of the lessons from the MBM Salaam in the beautiful life of Ibrahim alayhi salam.
And we are today on the third part of that which is his unquestioning obedience
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			to Allah subhanaw taala. Now one of the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:20
			one of the things that religion is blamed, and religious people are
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:28
			unjustly blamed and maligned for his for being brainless for being stupid.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:35
			Karl Marx called religion opiate of the masses. He said, it's like a drug.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:44
			And people believe blindly, without thinking without any data without any evidence.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:03:36
			They just believe, and then they obey, again blindly. Now, I'm not saying that none of that is true.
It is true. In many cases, people do believe blindly, people do believe, without any evidence
without any data. And that's how there are so many superstitions that go around in the world, in the
name of religion. So people religious people have got a bad rap. And the bad rap that they've got is
not entirely undeserved. I mean, I'm sorry to say that, but that is also reality. It's not entirely
undeserved. Some of that bad rap is, is true. But this is not Islam. This is not Islam. Allah
subhanaw taala mentioned is very clearly in the Quran many, many times. Allah subhanaw taala told us
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:44
			to think he told us to reflect, he told us to look at his signs, look at his creation, I'm showing
you one of them.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:02
			Before which is sitting in this grass behind me, this is a creation of Allah subhanaw taala reflect
on this thing and say, why is this grass this way? Why is it colored like this? And if this coloring
is the best thing for grasses, then why is not every grass color like that? Because if
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:50
			if we say that things evolve in a way where what is best for survival is what remains and what is
not so good dies away, then there really should not be any variety of creation in the world. Right?
By that logic, because only the best will survive. So even if you started off, and obviously if that
whole thing is not logical, because evolution also talks about starting from a very basic form to
becoming more and more complex and complex. And if that is the case, then how do we explain the fact
of so much variety because if only the best, the best, obviously means you're saying that there's
only one thing which can be the best, you know, by definition, that's what best is that and then and
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			that the rest of it dies off. Then why is there any variety at all right? So it's something to for
us to think about.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:58
			Reflect on that. Blind belief is not religion. Whereas Islam promotes belief with thought, belief
with knowledge. Islam promotes belief with complete understanding. The deeper the understanding, the
better the knowledge, the stronger the belief. Remember, nobody understood or can understand the
greatness and glory and magnificence of Allah subhanho wa Taala better than his prophets better than
the MBR limosa They are the ones who know Allah subhanaw taala the best and the closest, and who
have a connection with Allah subhanho wa Taala, which is unlike that of any other human being on the
face of the earth. These are the people who receive what word directly from Allah subhanaw taala in
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:41
			a variety of ways. Some of them spoke to him directly, some of them, Allah subhanaw taala showed his
signs in different ways. Some of them received the word of Allah subhanaw taala through the agency
of gra salam, some of them received the word of Allah subhanaw taala through other means, which
Allah knows best. So these are the people the unbelievers allow other people who know Allah subhanho
wa Taala the best there's no one who can say that he knows Allah better than than a De La Silla. And
these were the people who are also the most obedient to Allah subhanaw taala there is no one more
obedient than than to be. Right. And how is that obedience? Is that obedience, blind obedience
		
00:06:41 --> 00:07:15
			without knowing did they have no knowledge of we are saying already, that they had the best
knowledge they had the most knowledge of Allah subhanho wa Taala and they also that that knowledge
of Allah, produced in them obedience to Allah subhanaw taala not the opposite, not disobedience, the
knowledge produced obedience to Allah subhanaw taala so this is the thing to understand in Islam.
Obedience is the product of knowledge. It is not the product of ignorance, obedience to Allah
subhanho wa Taala is not superstition. It is not some
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:35
			unsubstantiated belief that comes out of you know what my forefathers used to do or anything like
that. It is the understanding, it is the knowledge it is the experience of Allah subhanaw taala in
our lives, for the better we know Allah, the more we
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:05
			obey Allah subhanho wa Taala This is the purpose of knowledge is to know so that we can obey laws of
matter that I mentioned this question of unquestioning obedience, the the the issue of unquestioning
obedience rather baccara with respect to eventually Salaam whose life we are trying to study Allah
said is cada la hora boo Aslam Allah Aslam. To me, it is due to Allah. Allah said, when is Rob said
to him Submit.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:23
			He said I have submitted to the rub of the alamy to the Creator, the Sustainer, the maintainer of
the protector of everything that he has created. When he said submit being meaning become Muslim
meaning be a Muslim, meaning submit to the will of Allah.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:32
			He said I have submitted he didn't even say I will submit he said I have submitted Karla Aslam to
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			calahorra was named Carla slim to
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:45
			remember brother sisters, this is the result of understanding who Allah subhanaw taala is.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:51
			This is this is the whole issue of Ibrahim alayhi salam, where
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:02
			even when it's haram to talk to Allah subhanho wa Taala and where Allah subhanaw taala gave him
knowledge of himself where he Brian was
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:24
			submitted to Allah subhanaw taala says we need to ask ourselves this question and say that what is
the meaning of submission to Allah subhanaw taala in my life, so if I say that I am submitting to
Allah subhanaw taala what exactly am I am I talking about? What exactly is the meaning of submission
as far as I'm concerned?
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			My brothers and sisters,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:10:00
			on the subject of obedience to Allah subhanaw taala on the subject of submission to Allah subhanaw
taala and as I mentioned, submission in Islam is not submission. without knowledge, it is not
ignorance, it is not superstition, it is not blind obedience, it is obedience with knowledge. Let me
give you an example to illustrate the star Allah Allah, Allah subhanaw taala is over and elevated
and above any examples that we give. We give examples to illustrate to try to help
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			Help us to understand using our own personal life and personal life experiences.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:17
			Say you go to a, say you have May Allah protect you from from all kinds of health issues. But say
you have a health problem, right? You
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:24
			need to, you're not feeling well. So you go to a hospital, and you are examined by
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:58
			maybe one maybe more physicians, and one of whom is a cardiologist, another one who's a part of a
large part of monologist, and so on and so forth. Now, tell me, how many times have you asked those
people for their credentials? Did you ask the cardiologist? Or Second, you know, before you touch
me, show me your certificate? Where do you qualify from? Which university? Which medical school when
the medical college? Show me that? Did you see that?
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			You didn't see that not. So if you are taking,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:45
			you know, going to the hospital, and if you are obeying that doctor, and if you are taking the
medicine he prescribes and if I tell you know you are you are blindly obeying somebody that's blind,
which is what you tell me, you will tell me that is not blind obedience. Because before I went to
that place, I checked out the place when you should do this, or if you are not doing that, then you
know, something's wrong with you. And they seriously, you will tell me, I checked out that place, I
find I found out about that place, I found out about those doctors and those, those specialists who
are who are in that place. I convinced myself I satisfied myself that here is a hospital and here
		
00:11:45 --> 00:12:31
			are people who know their business, they are highly qualified. And then I went to them. And now when
I go to them, I don't have to ask them for for their certificate, because I already know I have
already found out about them. And I have convinced myself and I am completely I am trusting them.
And I have full faith in their capability. So I don't have to ask them those questions. When they
are prescribing a drug I take it when I take that and not taking it blindly. I'm taking it because I
have knowledge. I didn't go to a carpenter to ask him for treatment for my heart disease. I didn't
go to a motor mechanic to fix my heart, we just become can fix a car engine. And I don't go to a
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:51
			car, a cardiologist to fix my car engine, just because he is a cardiologist and therefore, within
quotes, his qualification is bigger and or more, you know, more more prestigious than that of a
motor mechanic. I go to the right expert for the right thing because that is good sense.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:13:27
			Right? So where is the blind base of blind faith and that is not blind faith. This is Faith with
knowledge. We know who Allah subhanaw taala is, that is the reason why we have to spend time in
reflection, introspection, in looking around us in looking at the creation of the heavens and the
earth in understanding and convincing ourselves that there is a law that Allah subhanho wa Taala
exists, that nothing happens in this world without the knowledge and without the will of Allah
subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			Today the world is reeling and
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			COVID
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			our whole lives have changed.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:48
			So while I mean imagine we are the generation when history is written, and if they if somebody
remembers our names, they will say that these were the people who first encountered COVID
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			These were the people who are first hit.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			Our lives have changed.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			I travel around the world, and I haven't gone anywhere for the last one year.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			I have not sat in a plane for the last one year.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			Tell me when was the last time that happened to me.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:25
			I normally not only do I travel in planes every year I travel in planes many times every year.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			Many times every year.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:36
			I have a I have a gold card on Emirates and I didn't get that by buying it.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:44
			But now, last one year, I haven't been near an airport.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			I haven't got anywhere close to a plane
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:49
			stopped
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			and I'm not alone.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			The entire airline industry is ready
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			reeling
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:06
			under this, the entire hotel industry is reeling under this.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			Why?
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:20
			Think about this, this is the holder of Allah subhanaw taala This is the power of the Creator jela
delallo
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			we are we are having it has all this happened that happened
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			after the sisters
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:36
			recognize Allah subhanaw taala because then obedience will become very easy
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:52
			and obedience is essential because if we like I give the example of this cardiac cardiologist if I
want to live a healthy life then I need to follow the orders of my doctor
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			just yesterday I discovered that I have arthritis
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:11
			my mother had arthritis a very severe arthritis male or female covered with no, my parents inshallah
and Jonathan Jonathan for those who don't.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:17
			But I discovered Yesterday my idea of mentioning this year is to request to remake government shall
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:27
			I tanglers Ronda, Hamdulillah, 64 years, I didn't have it.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			I want 100 all over the world, I
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			wildlife photography is a passion of mine.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:54
			And my knees Stop, stop working, I will not be able to do that. So I've asked Allah subhanaw taala
to keep my knees functioning. And to keep me mobile and to give allow me to go climb hills and you
know, go in a lot of forests and take pictures of his of his creations to show the whole world What
a beautiful creation He has created.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:05
			Heaven and sisters, this is the author of Allah. You see the author of Allah, you recognize the
author of Allah, some of it in things that you might like some of the
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:16
			things that you might not like some of it in things that may give us pleasure, some of it in things
that may give us pain. But in all of this, it is the hadith of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:32
			You know, one of the, one of the benefits of of COVID. I mean, those of you who listen to the Father
in mind is I'm doing a series on a couple of couple of parts on that. One of the benefits of COVID.
And this is what I'm saying this is a first generation our generation Did you ever imagine
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:44
			if somebody had told you, we are sitting here in in August of 2020. If somebody had told you in
August of 2019, just one year ago,
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			that very soon,
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52
			this whole world is going to come to a stop.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:58
			Imagine this conversation you're having with this friend of yours, you're saying you've seen this
when you know
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			in one year, less than one year
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			because you are sitting in August 2019.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			So you are saying to your friend,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			in less than one year, in just a couple of months from now,
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:21
			this whole world is going to come to a dead heart.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:49
			So your friend says What do you mean? What is the meaning of saying the world will come to data? So
you use it your friend it means that the skies will be empty of planes, no. planes will fly. No
trains will run. No buses will run all public transport will will shut down. All movie halls will
shut down. All casinos will shut down the whole of Las Vegas will be dead.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			Right.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:02
			cruises will shut down. Holidays. People will not take them they will not go to resorts.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			resorts will shut down. Hotels will shut down.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:13
			Great big corporations will shut down big multinational companies will shut down.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:26
			People will start working from home. Not just it is companies not just people doing medical
transcription. You and I will be working from our home.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:34
			There will be 1000s upon 1000s upon 1000s of people who will lose jobs who will be out of jobs.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:38
			Right.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:49
			All of us not only the Japanese. The Japanese did it or did it always. But all of us are going to be
walking around with masks.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			entire cities will be locked down
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			Your friend will say what is what do you mean lockdown? So you will say to a friend,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:13
			lockdown means that you will not be able to leave your house
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			day or night
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:27
			and if there is an emergency you will have to get a special permit from the police to leave your
house even to go to the hospital.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			You will say well what about food, your problem
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:41
			you will not be able to if you leave your house, you will be arrested. You will be beaten by the
police.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:46
			And if you think I'm exaggerating, see what's happening in India.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:59
			So your friend is telling you this whole story. Tell me what would have been your reaction I mean I
can I can I can elaborate this I won't do that because you know the story right?
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			You know the story. I know the story. We are living the story.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:09
			One year ago, if your friend had told you this whole thing, what would be your reaction?
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			You know what I what my reaction would have been?
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			My reaction would have been to say you know something?
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			I think that stuff you're smoking
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22

			There will be no the haramain Sharif it will shut down. You will not be able to go and make armor.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:59
			You will not be able to go and make zerah at this at the at the at the router of Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:17
			the Salah in the haramain will be done by the Imam and some of the cleaning people learn some of the
officials who are there 20 people will play will praise Allah to fudger in Masuda NaVi or Sharif
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:19
			and you know what?
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			You know what the man used to say? You stole
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			haddou by Almanack ev vologda.

			You know the man will not say that
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:53
			the man will not say that anymore, because Salah first of all massages will be shut and where a
massage is open, people are going to be praying standing six feet apart.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			Forget about shoulder to shoulder.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:22
			The SFX will not be characterized by people standing shoulder to shoulder the sub will be
characterized by six feet of space between two worshipers
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			and then your friend will say You know what?
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:35
			In this time, Ramadan will come and there will be no taraweeh
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			there will be no if third parties
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:46
			and for the other bodies. You know what he will say? He would say you know all of these fancy
marriages.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			All of these ostentatious weddings
		
00:23:52 --> 00:24:08
			that yamabe used to talk against and keep telling you don't do that. Simplify your weddings. You are
going to be performing the wedding of your son or your daughter in your house with five people. Six
people will eight people.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:16
			People will say people would have said if you are if your friend had told you all of this.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:23
			You would have said you have gone mad. I mean really I have no I have nothing to say I think you
have gone crazy.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			Sisters, what did it take a lot
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:36
			to make all of this happen and believe me we have not seen the end of this. We have not seen the
end.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			People are talking about vaccine.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			They've been searching for the AIDS vaccine for the last 40 years.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:49

head to be able to verify that and Valhalla, but somebody did. Calculation I'm sure you've all heard
this because it is all WhatsApp university education.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:44
			And that person said that if all the corona viruses that exist from the first one that was detected

And of course I'll know Allah knows best because the virus is so small that you can't even see it

			They have no shame and this and that La Villa hotel. How sad How shameful is that?
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:15

is evil or not?
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

00:28:14 --> 00:28:24
			and all the steps that they took of first quarantining and then checking and so on and so forth, and
the whole * Abdullah was completed without any casualties.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:30
			There are people who criticize and criticize them who made big speeches.

			I'm not sanctioning everything that is happening is all the Arabia. I'm just saying that in this
particular case.

people are all cut it together
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			in one place like this.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:13
			What would have happened when there was an outbreak of COVID and you would have seen hundreds and
1000s of dead people, bodies laying everywhere.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			You would have liked that.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:29

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57
			We should not hold on. I don't know. I don't have time to answer that. I am busy.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			I'm busy.

			And of course the mercy of Allah Subhana Allah Rasool Allah Allah let anyone who dies from a
pandemic from a epidemic dies a Shaheed anyone who dies with the man because of abandoning dyes or

you died of COVID-19, or you died of some kind of pandemic, then you die I assure you, and remember,
if you do not die,

not leave your house, confine yourself quarantine yourself, we didn't use the term that is what it
means.
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:29
			And he said, if the thing passes, and you are alive and healthy in your house, you would be counted
among the Shahada among the martyrs
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:51
			What more can you ask? If you die you are a martyr if you live you are still a martyr, inshallah. To
the mercy of Allah, Allah subhanaw taala sends a test and the test is difficult it is tough, but it
is usually beneficial because it's shut us down. Allah said stop everything you do. Including going

crime. It's not a mistake.

			My brothers and sisters Time to wake up.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:52
			Time to wake up. Because one of the things that COVID has done is it has suddenly made us understand
that we are mortal.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:59
			That is life is not going to go on forever. That this life is going to come to art
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			And we are going to be rudely awakened.

00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			Now back home, things are getting tough.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:59
			Things are getting more and more difficult until they get to a point where now even the food in the
house is almost gone. Food is over. They have no money. And the mother hardly Madison's wives really

			One among those who eats went let him go. The one who feeds is here. Allah subhanaw taala is with
us.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			Then this girl went into
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41
			the inner part of the house into her room
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:46
			and she raised her hand and said Allah help us.
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:52
			Hello, we have toggled on you yell at us. This is the difficulty I have.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			The girls hands were not lowered. They heard a knock on the door.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:12
			They went to see there was the ADC there was the A decamp the army officer who was the ADC of the
governor of the province.
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:14
			me
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:20
			he said the Amit is passing by ran out of water.
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23
			Do Can you give us some water
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:35

tray with a tray cloth and so on are probably going to the meat.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			And this
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			is his army officer to get
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:46
			now when this Amir drank this water.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:42:02
			Allah subhanaw taala put Baraka in this. And this water tasted so beautiful this Amir was so happy
he drank this water is a swallow what kind of water this is so beautiful. So sweet. So he asked this
ADC say Where do you get the water from?
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:06
			So that is he says, Your Excellency from that house over there. He said.
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			He said that house is the house of hottie Manasa.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:21
			The image says the scholar he said yes. He said come I want to meet. The ADC said, Yeah, I'm here.
He's not there. He's gone for Hajj.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			I mean, said Well, in that case.
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:28
			I am responsible for his family.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:37
			And then the road towards this house. He was wearing a belt.
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:54
			Now the belt of the Amir is encrusted with jewels, in pockets with gold coins in it and so on and
the belt itself is very valuable. The Emir removed his belt and he threw it over the wall of the
house.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:03
			And then didn't stop there. And then the hammer announced and he said Whoever loves me do what I
did.
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:14
			And the next thing you know, there are bags of money. There are various There are all kinds of
things flying over the wall that house
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:40

opens gold coins everywhere. Then but then then then you know bag after bag. That whole courtyard is
filled with gold coins. There is enough gold there there are enough jewels and whatnot there to last
them not for a not until atem Allah subhanaw taala comes back but for the rest of their life.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:48
			Everyone is very happy the mother is happy everyone is happy brothers and sisters. This little girl
is crying.

What is wrong with you? Right? What is wrong with you? You are a strange, you're a strange creature.
I mean, when we had all kinds of difficulties you are laughing when there was not food to eat in the
house, you are laughing. Now when we have all of this gold enough to last for the rest of our
lifetime you are crying.
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			What is the problem with
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:27
			the girl said my mother.
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:36
			I am crying because all of this gold is the result
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			of one slave of Allah.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			Looking at us, with current
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:45

looking at us with kind of looking at us with mercy what
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02

to the extent that is possible, by the term complete knowledge for the slave,
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:32
			knowing who is doing what Allah can do,
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:36
