			alameen wa salatu wa salam O Allah
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			Muhammad Rasul Allah
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			mavado.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			meridian sisters,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			we are looking at the topic of leaving Islam
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			as distinct from
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:39
			studying Islam, or speaking about Islam or reading about Islam, you're talking about leaving Islam,
which is the actual practice of Islam in our life.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:49
			The reason we need to focus on that the reason we need to talk about that is because Islam is the
name of a practice. Islam is not
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:05
			a theory or a theology by itself. Islam is the name of a practice, like any practice, Islam benefits
those who practice it. And it does not benefit those who do not practice it, no matter how much
Islam they may know.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:18
			So knowing about Islam is a different matter. But if we want Islam to benefit us, we have to
actually live Islam, you have to practice Islam. And that's the reason why we are looking at this.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:37
			The delille for this is from the era of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam where the single
point of success of rasulillah salam, and the Sahaba was this, that they actually lived the message
of Islam.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:48
			Now, in that context, I want to speak to you and mentioned to the Hadees of Salaam which is in
Sahih, Muslim,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			William and delanco,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:48
			the great confidant of Rasulullah sallam, he said, I heard rasulillah he's saying, temptations will
be presented to men's hearts, as a read math is woven, stick by stick. And any heart which is
impregnated by them, will have a black mark put into it. But any heart which rejects them will have
a white mark put into it. The result is that there will become two types of hearts, one white like a
white store, which will not be harmed by any turmoil or temptation, so long as the heavens and the
earth endured, and the other black and dust colored, like a vessel which is upset, not recognizing
what is good, or rejecting what is abominable, but being impregnated with passion.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			Now if you look at his holiness,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:59
			and before that, if we if I ask any of you and this is a question which I asked people in
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			there various aspects of my
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:20
			professional consulting practice. As a leadership development consultant, I asked this question to
people individually. And I also asked this question to organizations, to the promoter groups to the
top management's of organizations and so on.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			The question as there is
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:46
			to do what we call a SWOT analysis, which is a strength, weakness, opportunities, threats. This is a
different thing from this presentation from this class today. We'll talk about that later. But it's
called a SWOT analysis, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats. And in this SWOT analysis,
when I asked them to do it, and then after that, we sit and analyze it and see, you see what
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:53
			I have yet to find a person or an organization.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:59
			Putting obedience to Allah subhanho wa Taala as a strength
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:05
			and sinning or disobedience of Allah Subhana Allah as a weakness.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:38
			Now this is a mark of our very materialistic way of life. Like today, we, we seem to see everything
including our strengths and weaknesses in material. So what is your What are your strengths, you
will list for me your bank, balance your properties on so forth, maybe your education, maybe you
work for a good organization. Maybe you are somebody in society, you got some political authority,
political power, administrative authority, and so on. But will you list
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:51
			and I'm not saying you must list this to tell anybody else I'm saying for yourself. This is not for
the sake of showing the word for yourself. Will you list the fact that I am a Muslim? This is my
strength.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			You may say if you Even if you say if I asked you to Okay, so you're saying that how do you know
tell me explain to me what being a Muslim
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			Why is it a strength?
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			For most of us, we don't know. You might might give this as an answer.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:26
			But if I tell you to show me if I tell you that, you know, if you say I have a bank balance of a
million dollars and if I asked you tell me why is it a strength user? That's a foolish question. You
should know why it's a strength What's so difficult to understand that if I've got a million dollars
if I got a billion dollars, that this is a strength Why Why are you even asking this question?
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			But if you say that I'm a Muslim, this is my strength.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			I obey Allah This is my strength. I prayed that dude, this is my strength.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			What is the answer?
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			If I ask you why? Please explain to me why is that a strength?
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			Yes.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:28
			Okay, so sisters saying that, I believe it's a strength for me because it helps me to endure the
difficulties that I faced in life, because I know this is the cover of Allah, Tara and Allah loves
me, Allah will take care of me. So, if he has given me the difficulty, he will also give me the
strength to bear it, he will on the east come to the difficulties with this Islam is a strength for
him. Right. There is a famous story in my country, India.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			About the Emperor Jada
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			is the guy who built the dogma.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			The story is that Sharjah
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:48
			he was a he was an emperor, he was you know, we shot to the money and so on. So, he wanted to wear
silk and gold.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			Right. So, he,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:02
			but being a Muslim, he knew that wearing silk can go for men is not permissible. So he wanted some
relief.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			So obviously, you know, like all kings, we had the compliant
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:26
			you have like you have Sharia compliant things you are compliant, Alex. So he had the you know,
Emperor compliant whatever. So they don't even see the thing is that this prohibition of wearing
gold and silk, this is for ordinary people.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:32
			This does not apply to you because you are the king giavanna
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			You are the refuge of the world.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:53
			This is a prime mission for ordinary people so that don't show off. isn't for you, who will you show
off? You are the greatest there is no one for you to show off. So, this provision does not apply to
you. This is the fatwa he is compliant Allah gave to him.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:01
			But you know, unless I put some hair in the heart. So Jada knew that this photo is coming because I
am king.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:08
			So he there was one alum in those days
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			who live outside Delhi, who never came to meet the king.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:20
			And he was the star of the younger son of Java
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			was
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			so he was
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:27
			stuck.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			So Java has said to his son, he said this and he said, Go and ask
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:41
			and tell him to give me a fatwa. To say that it is permissible for me to wear silk and good
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			aren't they knew that this is not going to happen?
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:52
			But anyway, since his father told him his father was the viewer to the study told him this
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			boy
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			your father didn't bother to Fiamma
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			do this don't do all this games no play games.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:07
			So our exam Kevin is that with Valerie said biostar says your
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:17
			shadow got very very upset. I'm talking about the issue of why is Islam a strength
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			Chaka very upset and he ordered his
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			army commander to send soldiers and he said bring that money.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:39
			So our exam before the soldiers could get their arms around one or two hours he got up there and he
said to us that please hide
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:47
			away somewhere because my father has ordered for you to be arrested and brought to the court.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			So it was dad he stood up
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			and he said Where is my masala bring my masala
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			masala is the bread my tray
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:10
			Remember Salah already said Why? He said because your father he's proud of his money and he's proud
of his power. He said I am proud of my Allah
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			let me see who can do what bring my masala
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			he said tomorrow for dollar bill what Ben has a
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			mutual love and
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			well America Don't
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			you have them.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:43
			He said Your father is proud of his money and his power and his army. He said I am proud of my alma.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			Let's see.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			Let us see who can do what to
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:53
			camera
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:00
			ran back to the court. And he said to his father is asking for the muzzle herbicide. What do you
want to do?
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:12
			That I was a man with good sense he canceled his order. It was the people who leave alone. Don't go
Don't bring
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			my brother sisters, the thing I remind myself in you
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			is
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			we need to get this thing into our heads very clear.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			That obeying Allah subhana wa Taala
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:36
			is the root of our strength. It is the root of our power.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			This is who we are.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			Why are you Muslim? What is the Muslim?
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			The one who obeys Allah?
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:53
			No, I mean submission right? A Muslim is the one who submitted to submit What is the meaning of
submitted to Allah?
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			Means you always Allah.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			What is a Muslim who does not do well? Is there such a thing
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			with God Allah hora boo us live
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			Kala Aslam to Allah.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			Allah said about
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			his route he is robbed said to him Submit.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:26
			Islam he brahmanism did not say I will submit. He said as I have submitted
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			we've got a SIM card
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			I have submitted.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:50
			Now in this hand is also a very important thing. He's saying that every action that we do has an
effect on our heart. Now why is the heart important?
		
00:12:51 --> 00:13:01
			Because Allah subhanaw taala said on the Day of Judgment, your money your children, your power, your
authority. None of this will help you
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			Illa man upper lobby Calvin Sally
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:11
			and less than except the one who comes to Allah subhanho wa Taala with Calhoun city.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			What is government?
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			There is a series of lectures of mine on that answer to that.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:25
			But hairpins Aleem is not a heart which is unaffected by anything. No.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30
			Alvin Saleem is a heart which
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:44
			has seen difficulty which has seen hardship, which has seen temptation which has seen termite which
has seen pain which has seen suffering, but keeps on coming back to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:52
			It's like a compass, which is working properly, it always points to the
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:01
			magnetic north. No matter what you do with that you can turn it around is that if you know do a
figure of eight with it, it'll go this way that when it comes back to the
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			ones not
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			always punch not.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			Now thermocellum is this.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			Now the child said to Bashar Bashar can Iraqis say that I
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			do see Gustavo Aziz. A guy in
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			the word said don't protect the heart.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			To baba baba can Allah say don't keep on protecting the heart
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:37
			that I have in other heart is compared to the mirror.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:44
			When you look in the mirror, you see your face. The mirror reflects the new of Allah.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:59
			A common salema clear heart a clean heart reflects the nature of Allah subhanho wa it it is it shows
the awareness of Allah. It is a huge source of strength. There are I inaho ins
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			Your Your heart is your mirror is that mirror, the Sheikah starhawk as he is today, where it is
broken,
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:15
			it is beloved nega eye in US asthma in the sight of the one who created it
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:21
			not an untouched mirror, a broken mirror, which has been put back
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:29
			which is a good compass, one which is pointing not and will never touch it
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35
			or one, no matter what you did with it, it always points not.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			You understand if you never touch it or you're not sure
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:44
			it's pointing Not now, but what is this thing going to do?
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:49
			If I move it will it still point not will it do something else.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:57
			But if I have moved it around and up and down everything else that it still points out that this is
good,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			this one I can follow because it will not take me wrong.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			And these are these officers will say that
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:17
			when a person commits a sin, what is the person actually doing when you are consciously committing a
sin knowingly, again, please understand what we do unknowingly.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:31
			We ask Allah to forgive and inshallah Allah will forgive there is no sin on someone who did
something out of forgetfulness, or out of lack of knowledge, among Gimpo or whatever.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:39
			And he said to him, I have done something wrong, I want you to tell me,
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			you know, what should I do?
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:54
			I said, What do you do? The man said, I was fasting, nothing fast. And I went to the friend's house,
and he offered me something to eat. And I forgot that I was fasting twice.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:04
			So what must I say? Nothing. Because you had forgotten and you ate? And afterwards?
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			He said, No, no, no, it's not doesn't finish with that.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:19
			He said, whatever. He said, you know, after that, after a couple of hours, I went to another
friend's place. And he also offered me food, and I forgot I was fasting. So I had that option.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			So rather than show you forgot his
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:27
			last show,
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:36
			but I had the second time. So our alarm set. Okay, inshallah that's also Keizer. Oh, it didn't
finish with that. So then what?
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:43
			He said, No, I went to a dark place. And they're also they gave me food. I forgot I was fasting. So
I had
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			a laugh, and he said, You are not used to fasting.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:53
			Three times.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			So I'm not talking about doing something unknowingly.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:21
			unknowingly thing level, and talking about deliberate. How many of us do not know that telling a lie
is a sin. This is somebody who does not know I am lying through my teeth. And somebody says, Why are
you telling me lies? No, I didn't know Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that lying is a sin. Is there
somebody like this in the world?
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:29
			How many of us do not know that he was backbiting somebody? Is anybody who does not know that
anybody does it?
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			Is there somebody who does not know that cheating is a sin?
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			Is there somebody who does not know that cursing using bad language?
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:47
			I'm not going into murder and Xena and so on, I know you will not do all that. Or bringing alcohol?
No. But I am saying things which
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			are within quotes. We think it is one.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:51
			Right?
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			Who does not know that these are sins, but we still do them?
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			Because we don't feel the effect of that.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:29
			We don't feel this has been saying that there is an actual effect of this on your heart. Your heart
is getting covered. It is getting covered. The heartbeat must reflect the glory and majesty of
Allah. And when the heart reflects the glory and majesty of Allah. What does it do? It gives you
strength, it gives you power, it gives you authority gives you contentment as a sister that helps
you to face the difficulties of life.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:34
			But when that hard is getting covered, and governor, Governor, governor, Governor there, it's just a
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			it was a piece of wood
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			as are we given him?
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:43
			And he said yeah,
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			I'm sorry, I do many batteries.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:56
			Right. And the narrator said he used to do practically everything, whatever you can think of the
minute
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			so he said to
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			you
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:22
			As I do many wrong things, many hard things, I really want to give up, but I can't give up
everything, I am a weak man. And there's too much of temptation. So I can't give up. But for you, I
will give up one thing. So please tell me which one I should do, though, you know, alcohol and Xena
and this and this and this and this and this Which one should I
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:29
			refer to him Don't tell lies give up telling lies.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:45
			So, here is here is a man who is also he's drinking alcohol is committing Zina is finally getting
his data and tell them which one is the only one only one I will
		
00:20:47 --> 00:21:03
			I can give up you tell me which one I will give I will give up I will give up that one not anything
else. So, see first of all, how the province of Assam addresses this he does not say What kind of a
man you are you are doing so many so much ah and this will happen that will happen. You will burn
Delphi No.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:08
			He listens to him. He does not criticize anything which you say.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:26
			The man is asking him I want to give a one sin which one can I give up there does not tell you what
kind of a ridiculous thing you come to the Navy. And you make you make all these all these, you
know, conditions that you can't do this. You can't do that you give up one seat. Don't you have any
faith in Allah, he didn't ask any of this.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			He listened to him he accepted whatever he said.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:37
			He said one sin I can give up Never give up telling lies once. So now
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			this method is easy.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			Only telling lies.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			Not difficult.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:51
			So he's very happy. Angela. mean I can do everything else. Just I should not tell lies.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			Now question is
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:02
			that evening. Normally, it's time to go hang out with his pals in the pub or whatever it is, I will
have a nice drink at the end. So on
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			Sunday thought comes to him tomorrow if I meet
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:16
			anybody, he asked me Where were you last evening? What waited? Because I said I can't tell lies. Now
I can't actually go and tell the province that I was committing zerah
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:20
			I was drinking alcohol I was gambling I was doing.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			I mean that is shameful. How can I say that?
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			by candlelight? Because I promised you I will not.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:39
			So every time he came to us in the start came to him if the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam asked me,
What will I say? I can tell a lie.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			And the man gave up everything.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:57
			So how just wondering, just because of the reason I'm saying is, this looks like a simple thing. But
it's not simple. That is the root cause is the mother of all evil is telling lies.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:16
			So here in this hand is saying that if a person commits a sin, there is an actual effect on his
heart, and the art becomes opaque. The art becomes incapable of connecting with Allah Subhana Allah,
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:22
			you still have a phone, but your battery is gone. battery's dead.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			So when you need a law, you want to make a call, it doesn't work because the batteries
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			on the other hand, the one who does not do that,
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			the one who
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			does not commit us.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			That heart gets cleaned.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:51
			So when we say do not commit meaning that when there is an opportunity to commit a sin, you stop,
		
00:23:52 --> 00:24:01
			see the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala. In other words, if there is a lesson I'm said, when a person
makes the intention of doing something good.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:10
			Think about it, he has not yet done it. For example, if you make this attention, after this does
when we go out, I'm going to give $1 charge.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:25
			You have not given the dollar, you just made the intention. Allah subhanaw taala causes one good
deed to be written into your account one has to be written out just because you made it.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:33
			Then when you actually do the deed, so as you are going out maybe the donation box you drop it or
you give it to somebody outside
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:48
			then Allah Allah causes from 10 to 700 to whatever he wishes has to be written in your account on
the basis of that one would be
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			conversely,
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:59
			if you make the intention of doing something wrong, first of all, making the intention of doing
something wrong itself is
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			You know, sounds crazy, but
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:14
			maybe you are you just heard this very juicy piece of gossip which you want to go and as soon as I
go to the demo to pick up my phone, call my friend and tell him this really, really juicy piece of
gossip about somebody deliver
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			without you see this.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			So the point is you made this intention.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:28
			The Malacca Xia bellami. He made his intention, he did not do it. Right.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:41
			Then you had the intention, but now he was adding others you understood that this is how I should
not do it. So you cancel the intention? No, I'm not gonna do that, unless you write a good deed.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			See how much
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:51
			right
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:59
			now, you made the intention, nothing was written you actually go and do the thing.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			So now you have gone and done the labor you actually committed.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			The man I
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			mean, he committed it unless you
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			don't write it.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			But he did know it.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:21
			Maybe he will make us differ with Allah is not maybe Allah knows. But this is what Allah says to me.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			The whole day pass.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			How much time is given for day,
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:34
			four day passes, nothing is written. Maybe we'll make a step or maybe make Toba.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			Now, if he makes is the one you make, after doing that,
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:54
			this is something bad, I really should not have done that. Maybe two hours later 10 hours later,
whatever you see as the polarity Viola I am very sorry, I should not have done this thing I did
wrong. You may discover Allah subhanho wa Taala tells them right a good deed.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:57
			Because the way it is
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:09
			and that one which is written is how much 10 to 700 tomorrow, not one.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:17
			Now you did not make it step one. At the end of the day, how much is it? one
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:22
			and that one also will be there until tomorrow is gone.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			America has often forgotten the is clear.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			You want the Lula who say he at the him has an act.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:39
			Allah said Allah will convert their evil deeds into good deeds.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			Allah will forgive
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:48
			and not just forgive, supposing I did something wrong. Forgive that hamdulillah I'm happy,
		
00:27:49 --> 00:28:05
			I am home and dry. No, Allah Subhana Allah will not only forgive Allah, Allah will convert these
sins into good deeds. Now, this is not a you know, promotion for sin, saying that covered a lot of
sins. So that it will get covered good, you know.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			At the same time just to remember this, that this is the
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:22
			saying that is telling us to be conscious of our hearts and conscious of our actions.
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			And not just blindly do things.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:32
			The position of the slave is between binal Houthi wautoma
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:40
			between fear of Allah subhanaw taala as punishment and Dharma which is hope for his forgiveness.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:29:10
			So both are true. One is to fear Allah subhana wa danas punishment. What if Allah does not forgive
me? Allah said he will forgive but in some cases, you have to seek forgiveness Allah will not stop
minuses Allah will forgive anyway, major since this is the so we are less free to forgive even the
major sins without asking that I am not putting a condition for Allah. But I'm saying what we
understand is that major sins you need to seek forgiveness.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:33
			And major system is what delivers images, backbiting images, staring lasers, images, they're not
small things, dealing in interest, whatever you are actually buying enmity of Allah subhanaw taala.
What is more major than that? gambling is images, whether it's cars or horses or dogs or cats or
water or whatever.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			Gambling is emergency.
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:53
			So they need to forget it's a morning for example, may Allah May Allah protect us from this the ayat
of Surah maclear Allah. Allah said when they transgress and they exceed all the boundaries of
transgression
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:58
			and when they refuse to listen to warnings,
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			What does Allah do? Allah said Fatah Hana Allah him up guava Polish a
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:11
			Allah said we open on them the doors of everything
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:15
			that's it look at look at this.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:26
			And I'm not saying that when they increase transgression when they become more and more disobedient,
then we will punish them No, unless we actually give them more.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:38
			So if they were transgressing because of wealth, Allah will give more money. If they were
transgressing because of power and authority and they were oppressing people Allah will give them
more power.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:45
			And then what
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:55
			and then Allah said and when they are completely and totally embroiled and gross with that
disobedience because now I've got even more
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:06
			I know gambling is haram, but I will not give it up. So what happened now, I am elected the
president of the gambling club.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			I am elected the president of the club.
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:20
			I know interest based banking is haram, but I will not give it up. So what happens now?
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			I become the head of the Federal Reserve.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:25
			I become
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:34
			this is the lobby. I become I become the president of of, you know, whatever HSBC or Citibank or
something.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			So this is what funnel of Allah or what
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:44
			somebody asked him I wish after a delay this question, let me complete it. So
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:53
			unless it fatahna la him Ababa, Felicia, Allah said we give them everything. And then when they are
in the middle of that
		
00:31:54 --> 00:32:06
			middle of the sin which they are committing, we are sitting in the guard room doing the deal, you
know, blackjack, or is in Las Vegas on the roulette table, and he's putting his coins there
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:13
			are many chairing this board meeting of this of this great global bank.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			Allah subhanho wa Taala said we can
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:27
			borrow data for home Mobley soon and they are broken in spirit.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:32
			No time to make over no time to register for
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:40
			a half an hour home. But guess them suddenly
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			somebody asked
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			this question.
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:56
			The man asked him he said you know in our you say that if you do good, good will happen if you do
sin, and Allah will punish you, but we see in our life this is not so
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:02
			we see people who are evil people who are committing all kinds of sins, but nothing I was.
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:35
			On the other hand, they are getting more and more money and more and more power. So how do you say
this is true? Now, whichever and the law says that if a person is deliberately committing sin, again
and again and again knowing and then you find that he has more money and more wealth and more power
and more popularity, he said this is a sign that the Azov of Allah subhanho wa Taala has already
begun for that man The doors are Hidayat have been closed and been checked. May Allah protect us
from this
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:43
			sometimes we get upset when some loss happens
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:53
			what what is it? What are the home minella will do not as I will act very lol the home yard you
		
00:33:54 --> 00:34:00
			Alessandra give them the small punishment before the big punishment so that they will return to us.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:06
			So the sign that Allah subhanaw taala is still pleased with you.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:16
			And that Allah wishes something good for you. The sign is that if you and I are doing something
wrong
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			then there is some warning.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:30
			That's when you get a few What is it? Is it the hora This is something which will take away your
sense.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:52
			Allah does not need to give you a fever to forgive you. I like it for you anyway. All the things I
say Allah please, please forgive, don't give me difficulty to forgive. But at the same time, now is
a lesson and said for the moment. Even if a thorn breaks his foot. This is kind of boring because
Allah will will forgive you something of it because of that little bit of it.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:59
			So it's like for example, if it's a little child and he wants to in the kitchen and he's putting his
hand out for
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			You know, towards the stove,
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:09
			than the mother tells him once or twice or thrice, then she slaps you on the on the wrist right?
Just like this.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:13
			I mean, she's not wagging him and bouncing him off the wall on something no GS
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:19
			nine, he feels some pain he will cry. But why did you do that?
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:28
			To save him because if he puts you down to the wire, then that kid is in big trouble, he is going to
have pain for a long time after that.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			So to save him from the big pain
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			gives him a small
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:43
			handle dolla dolla Hamza, Allah subhanaw taala also does this Allah Subhana Allah gives us such
wonderful.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:56
			So, when we have this more difficult anything, whatever and sometimes it may be seen as a private
maybe some accident of time you lose some money or whatever it is, right? You lose a job, what must
we do? Immediately?
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			Immediately Magnus devoir
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:01
			make a lot of his departure.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:08
			The purpose of this holidays also is to talk about the importance of
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:11
			this beautiful story.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:15
			In his
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:25
			he narrated a Hadith, in the in his Muslim, where as soon as the Muslims there the person who makes
a lot of history for
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			Allah subhanho wa Taala answers is
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:30
			Allah accepted.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:41
			And he says Allah subhanho wa Taala protects him from all kinds of evil. So a lot of lot of benefit
in making a lot of exceptions.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:47
			Now in the Buddhist story, my man was traveling, he was going away.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:53
			Now these are the, you know, the great scholars, the true scholars.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:37:05
			So a lot of a lot of humbleness and humility. So he didn't travel with a big entourage of people.
Now who is your mama mama was at that time was
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:18
			he one of the greatest scholars of the time. Very famous and well known, he would have gotten you
know, with a whole entourage of people traveling alone he was traveling a lot with his little bit of
buried with him.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:26
			He reached a place a small town and by the time he reached that place, it was late in the night.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:41
			So in those days, there's no hotel to check in or something so he's looking for someplace to stay.
And he found a monkey. So he went to the masjid he put his things in one place. And
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			he bred
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:50
			and after he prayed the Imam or the caretaker was there.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:38:00
			So he said to the caretaker, he said no, I am a stranger in this place. I have no friends. I have no
relatives, nobody. I need to stay for the night Can I sleep here
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			Magento you can
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:05
			go
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:15
			which was a really good kind of thing to do. imama at that time was also you know elderly, national
you can tell you go
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:21
			around I tried to persuade the mind you leave go.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:33
			So in my mind, I said to the girl, okay, I will not stay in the masjid. But you know, the massages
they used to have a little courtyard outside. Right. And then there will be a little wall and then
the street.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:36
			He said to send them.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:42
			He said can I sleep in the courtyard outside the building of the mosquito? No, no.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:54
			You cannot sleep here. Yes, I'm going to sleep in the courtyard of the budget. How can I sleep on
the street? I mean, what street is so in the courtyard next door, you can
		
00:38:55 --> 00:39:06
			do that extent the man got angry. He picked up a mama's luggage. He got him a mama by his collar and
he physically threw him out.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			Now and he threw the luggage up.
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:14
			So the luggage fell on the street in my mom and I almost fell out of the street.
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:33
			Now while all this is happening, opposite the masjid is a baker's shop. His man is baking bread.
This man sees all this happening. He comes out from there he picks up our luggage he apologizes to
him he said you please come here. Stay in my shop.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:56
			I work all night I am baking bread. So you please come and you stay in my shop. This is very, very
sad. This man is doing this to you. Please come. So when I went into a shop, he put my luggage there
I spread my bed. I was sitting on the bed. He said I noticed that this man while he is baking bread.
He is continuously making it Stefan
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			continues to make miserable
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:07
			So my mama said I watched him for some time then I asked him he said I told him that
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:19
			is this your routine? You are continuously making stuff are you seeking Allah forgiveness? Is this
something you do all the time? Or is it some special thing we're doing today's No, this is my No.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:28
			I don't talk to anybody unnecessarily and so on. If I need to speak I speak otherwise I continuously
make is the fry language.
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:33
			In my mama's room, then tell me Allah has shown you something.
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:37
			Allah subhanaw taala would have shown you his sight.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41
			What is it that
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:48
			the man said, You know, I know how that rendezvous is a very
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			mindset room.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:56
			That Alhamdulillah one thing I can say Allah subhanaw taala accepts My God.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:00
			Allah has accepted every dua that I ever made except one.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:17
			So this is getting no stranger and stranger. So the Lancer alac certified where they go do of mind
that Allah rejects if I ask something I like gives. I've seen this in my life many times. Except one
one. There's only one do I wish I have asked Allah Marita Allah
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:30
			Allah accept all your one do I wish to what is that? He said you know I asked Allah. Allah I want to
meet Amma dim the Amba.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:36
			He said I want to meet Mr. Mohammed bin Salman.
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			But Allah has not given that
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:41
			have not been able to be.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:55
			Well, when I started the match and he said you are the cause. He said a lab flew me out of his
house, so that you can meet me. He said, I am apabila
		
00:41:56 --> 00:42:02
			I wanted to sleep in Alan's house. Allah had me thrown out of his house, so that I could meet
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06
			you at your door. I am the man
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:08
			and my
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			sisters we worship but real God,
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:21
			we worship Allah subhanho wa Taala. What?
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			What are you under the law is
