Boulevard as a team with that will kill me that in Aurora Boulevard in Vietnam.

My respected brothers, sisters elders,

I want to begin by telling you something that I heard just as money for it.

One of the universities where I'm the also the Muslim Chaplain

there was an ongoing conversation

between the student body and the university administration

concerning the commencement,

usually in American universities, the commencement lecture is

part of the whole ceremony is something called the invocation and blessing. invocation is DUA and blessing his blessing.

Usually that is done by one of the champions. Usually the Christian Chaplain does it sometimes they ask others.

Now there was a conversation this university for the student body representatives of the student body, saying that the students do not

wish for the name of God to be mentioned in the invocation or the blessing.

So the head of the chaplains Council, he said, Well, what is the invocation without the name of God?

What is a blessing without the name of God reversing in whose name

this alone

we find it offensive

to have the name of God in the invocation of blessing. So either do it without mentioning God? Or don't do it at all?

Guess what?

There's one thing I saw the email from the president of inverse because whatever.

They said no invocation.

My question is,

what do you do?

When you have people? I don't like I said, I've got two persons. There's a number one question is, what about those people who want an invocation and blessing?

You're talking about what you didn't say every single student in this university does is? This is the opinion of home. What about those who want to begin their year? By invoking the name of God? What about their rights? Number two, what do you say what a system where

you we are we were taught when I was growing up, never use four letter words because they are bad words. So before he was the word I used to count the number of letters can be three letters can be five letters will not be four letters. Now three letters is also bad.

Don't use the name of God.

The reason I'm saying this to you is a very, very important reason I'm sure it's more than clear to all of you. And that is that if you do not take the time and

to spend on your children

that this is the atmosphere that you are sending them into every single day.

Don't be surprised when they come back home, and you'll see the results of that.

Do not be surprised

if something happens,

and believe me

in this country in the last four years that I've lived here, I have seen things happen.

Not one several of this kind.

The fault is not with the system, the fault is with us.

Now, why do I not make the system always a collision?

For very simple reason, if I want to jump into the sea, and I say to myself that I will not get wet.

There what you say,

you insane. It's crazy. How can you jump into the sea and you will not get wet how

the only way I can jump into the sea and not get wet is if I'm wearing a rubber wetsuit. Then when I take the suit off, I'm still dry inside.

But if I don't do that, if I jump into the sea, and I said, No, no, because I said lai lai la la, you can see like, Hola, you're going to set the whole court and

I was speaking to in the interfaith work, it's a very beautiful work. And it's a work in its work in which a work that all of you must support because this is what life this is for this country. To take the message of Allah subhanaw taala to the whole world is fun, especially in this country, because this country people are generally open to that.

But here are some other things as well.

And one of the things I heard the other day in the I was talking to one of the pastors

and he said, you know this, your Quran is so beautiful.

He said, I had a friend who had memorized the whole Quran because I spoke to him about his Abdullah. I said, Remember, he said, My friend remember the whole Quran, and he used to tell us about the Quran. And it opened when he started saying this, my sort of antenna started tingling. And then he said, it opened our minds and we understood Islam much better. So I said, when do you do that? He said no, in our choir when he used to sing in our choir and so on. Before he became Christian, he was a Muslim and he had memorized

you're talking about Lila? I'm talking about whole Quran.

Allah says Please,

let us have mercy on ourselves.

Let us have mercy on ourselves.

One of my friends asked me a question is a which reflects

rarity because he asked good questions. Yes. Good questions. He said to me. Sure. However, how do we re invigorate renewal rekindling people's love for the Masjid? That isn't the word, people's love for the masjid and have the magic become a unified place for Muslim education.

And he quoted he said, I quote Imam Azaria, Abdullah Ali, who said that the masjid is the heart of the Muslim community and the factory of champions. Despite the meager foundations, small foundation and small massages back at the time of the Sahaba Rizwan, like and even when we had champions who carried Islam around the world, and lift their thumbprint to this day

lovely question the answer very simple. It's not love of the masjid or what happens in the masjid activity? But Love of Allah subhana hotel

I repeat it's not love of the masjid

it's not the activities happening about you. It is the love of Allah subhanaw taala that must be the heart.

Let me give you an example

supposing I go to meet my friend who has a beautiful beautiful house

and I go there and I find no car nothing is not on

what am I feeling

if you go there you meet this you go to this beautiful house fantastic house where your friend gives us the house you go there you find he's not he's not home what's your feeling? Are

you happy?

If it is a mind at all, I came to meet my face not him. Or do you say you know what doesn't matter in that beautiful house? Let me look at the house take some pictures go around walk around the house. He's got a basketball hoop the throws of option he's got to pull there and we jump in the boat. What does it matter if he's not yet but

if you did that, what would what would you say?

You would say that you didn't really come to meet your friend you came to throw some hoops and you know

so the question is Allah subhanaw taala told us fully avocado

either wait

or for Yabu Rebecca has

not the bytes

of

worship the rubble bytes, worship the rub of the camera.

We don't watch it the cabin

Worship the rubber the Kaaba.

May Allah subhanaw taala protect protect the Anima insurify in and protect Aleksa and protect but if everything disappears if everything vanishes you wake up in the morning and there is no cover that no haram there's no nothing

we will still worship because ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada who are you?

Who are you love the lie about

this love of Allah has to be in the heart that Allah never outwardly. He said shock Tara agar Navajo Mary namaskar Imam, show, there are other Navajo Mary namaskar Imam

Mira de hijab Mira sujood vija he said he would love of you, Myra jelajah Oh ALLAH if your love is not the Imam of my salah. Then my TM is also a hijab, and my pseudo is also my Pm is also a covered and my suit saija is also

if your love is not the Imam of my salah.

So let's think about this this month Hamdulillah we are coming into the hotbar half we are past the halfway mark. Our algorithm gives us the opportunity to reflect. Let us try to that.

When people love Allah subhanaw taala they're attracted to his houses. Today, people come to the masjid because they want to go to the gym. Or they want to play a game or because there's some fans Isha. Who will be speaking there and they've got all these pamphlets, or some other activity.

The magic today, and I'm quoting, these are my words. These are words which people tell me the magic today is the alternative to MGM alternative to a disco or a frat party.

This is quite shameless. Let them come to the message at least instead of going to the gym or going to the instrument to a disco away to a bar

is that the comparison we should make?

And that's why we created the masjid the halal version of MGM

Pahala version of disco

and that's why when a lecture is detailed

people get impatient chef contents it's

condensed into 10 minutes I said I will condense it into one second I'll give you my one second lecture in the whole VA

palace. That's it. If tavola complete condensed version do that you are you are in general inshallah

but how come you never say when you are sitting and watching World Cup football at two o'clock in the morning because in Qatar in some other time?

How can we don't say let's just watch the last five minutes. Who cares what I mean? We just see the score. You do that?

You prepare for it. You stay up

and you're watching that football has a habit has anyone ever complained to you that Superbowl is too long or

NBA is too long or World Cup is too Have you ever heard this

way

I'm not saying it is haram but I'm also not saying that you are going to get Eva the value of Ibadah that the day that the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala are descending on you. As you know as long as you add best it is MOBA as well at best it is something which is neither good nor bad. And said he wasted three hours we got three hours to serve account Allah subhanaw taala for simple results.

And maybe it goes into macro maybe it goes into haram because you ended up missing something or you ended up dealing Salah tell me it doesn't happen. Tell me in the middle of the match most exciting time. Time for Salah, tell me how many people get up and say Roscoe Rossano sallam said Bray at its time. Allah bhakti so I'm going to pray now. Yes, the time extends one other two hours. I will not wait for two hours. Because for a lonely mousseline Allah Xena Herman Salah Ahimsa Hoon, then delay the prayer.

I don't want to be in that camp, I will be alive of the I'm going to stand here. Interesting match that will happen. How many people do that? I don't say nobody. How many people do that. But how many people sit and complain when there is a happier when there is a lecture when there is a hotbar?

Everything in this world, Allah subhanaw taala created his work

on the principle of causal effects.

Everything has an effect

this lack of shock visit bass

with Allah has an effect. The sharp the love of Allah, the help of Allah subhanaw taala that has an effect

Let's ask ourselves which one do you want?

Ask Allah Subhana Allah to fill our hearts with His known was show

for pleasing Him.

And we ask Allah to take us to a day when we beat him and that is the best day of our lives. John ACOTA 40 has asked for it welcome Melissa Misumi First up in the overflow room

just

why do you go to a hospital Why does Why does anyone go to hospital

they go because they were invited there or they do they go because you know what they got a beautiful new deck or in the lobby so let's go see the revenue for that reason.

You go to hospital because you have a need to go to hospital. You have a desperate need to go to hospital if I don't go to that hospital if I don't get read what I will be in severe pain or I might die. Right? That hospital you go because it's a severe need. Intense need.

So why do we come to the masjid?

Or why don't we come to the masjid.

To come to the masjid. We need inducements. We need programs. We need some dancing party.

But go to the everywhere else.

Because we see those places you go to Costco to buy food, you don't go to Costco or some similar grocery store, you have to bargain.

My question is do we see Jana as our need? Or nice thought?

I don't deny it. Yeah. What

do you want to do? Of course?

What are you doing for that?

Oh, I'm supposed to do something.

How many of us come to the buses? Because this is our need?

When you go to Superbowl, what's the ticket?

Is there a ticket? So

are you was it free? And then somebody stands there underfunded? Is it possible? What have you ever seen that any fundraising was or fundraising for for Work, Work work? Or do you pay?

So why is there fundraising for the masses?

Why does somebody have to say please support the magazine please do this, please do that.

Why?

Whose need is it is not Allah is much different. It's not Allah subhanaw taala as deed because he is someone who is free from me. It is not his need that we should pray to Him.

It's our need. It is the mercy and the honor Allah gave us where he gave us some

things to aspire to. He said Falcone

was cool.

He said you will remember me and I will remember you

and be grateful to me for my countless favors and never be ungrateful.

So, as I said, when the slave research for Allah subhanaw taala draws the attention of the Mirkarimi and the people around him the Malik around him to that person and mentions him by name.

He said there is my slave Mama

is reciting my color.

There is a there is buckled there is a shadow there is Hadiya there is also

we're taking my name, what am I the one remembering? What do we have this SS our problem is we have forgotten the meaning of reflection.

We need to do something about this. Get rid of the phone and stuff. Sit quietly. Just reflect and think to Sahara This is my observation

and that's my salad a lagoon. Murphy Svaty marketing said I have created for us

whatever is in the habits or whatever is on the earth

the Buddha would have enough

of America Delano and Muslim Muhammad

Rasul. As I said, I've said no people gather to remember Allah subhanaw taala only desiring by that his countenance meaning is

his ruya when we meet him inshallah and his river His pleasure, except that it will be announced for them in the heavens stand forgiven. Your bad deeds have been replaced with good deeds

that please notice, like not saying good bad deeds have been forgiven? No.

Not only are they forgiven, they have been replaced with good deeds.

And we gathered in a modulus of dhikr of Allah.

May Allah subhanaw taala consider these methods to be such and replace our bad you could even sell.

In other habits in Muslim O'Hara Delano reported aerosol as an object. No people gather to remember, remember ALLAH, but the angels surround and cover them with mercy and send sends Akina tranquility upon them and mentioned them to Allah subhanaw taala among those who are near him.

My question to myself is, Am I aware of this happening to me when I'm sitting in such a gathering?

Are you aware right now that you are being mentioned? Insha Allah by Allah subhanaw taala I will be are you aware right now that Allah is sending his blessings on you? When we send salatu salam ala Rasulillah Salam, which is something to be done, especially on Friday, but to be done every single day? Who is the one who sends another ceremony once Allah sends alarm on that person? 10 times. Can you imagine? As you're resetting growth, you are standing under a waterfall or the Mercy of Allah.

How can you let go wrong if you do if you do that, but sincerely,

since sincerely with that thought.

Allah said I created everything for you.

I was sitting in my house looking out from my window

from us, from my study it was

the temperature was minus 20 was 20 below

frozen ice everywhere.

And I saw a Black Capped Chickadee there's the National Board of the State Board of Massachusetts. Little but that being smaller than a sparrow is a black cap on.

It flies full speed

breaks in the air lands on my feeder like a snowflake

picks one seed of black oil, sunflower,

turns around, flies full speed back onto the deck deck really sits there, taps it opens it, eats it

and then flies back again. I'm thinking to myself, minus 20 if I go out in that weather without proper clothing, and I take one deep breath, I will die my lungs will freeze

and that but

this

is not a magnet it doesn't go Southeast Asia is resident but

I'm thinking to myself how come this bird I've never seen the chicory fly stone

doesn't happen. Always full speed. And I've never seen this bird come down and smash into the into the feeder because it's air brakes didn't work.

They always work comes full speed and lands like a feather.

This is the holder of Avila and that's a good fit for you. Why?

Look at it tomorrow.

Look at it and praise your habits. So how

you created this thing.

And you created me to go by feed a $25 a bag

that was like one Sandra

and put it in the feeders so that these birds have something to eat. And remember it has nothing to do with me. Allah chose me to do that and many people hamdulillah May Allah bless them. But believe me before those people existed those bodies before that feed was affordable. And the roof was feeding the new and now they're always feeding them except that he's made somebody would in the hierarchy superior to them. We are supposed to worship and sometimes you get engraved out whether we are but anyway.

In the home of the button

there was a guy called

Wilson Bentley

in 1865 died in 1931. He's called snowflake Bentley. He was born in Vermont in the village of Jericho

and he spent 40 years for 40 years photo

roughing snowflakes.

Any development, we're talking about 1800s and early 19. Right? So he developed a technique called Photo micrographic

technique where he would take a snowflake on a black piece of felt because you touch the snowflake in minutes. He will take the snowflake if it goes out of sand out in the winter, take a snowflake on a black piece of it, put it under a microscope and photograph it.

He did that for 40 years 40 Winters is when he actually died of pneumonia in a winter because of this.

His entire collection of over 5000 photographs is in the Smithsonian. So when you go there, see.

You know why he did that?

He said, he said two things. He said, he said the thing is that it amazes me that there is so much beauty in snowflakes. And nobody knows it.

That's the word beauty. He said the structure of every snowflake is different.

Snowflake, the structure of every snowflake is different.

Why?

So what if they were the same people know the difference anyway?

How many of you have actually seen as public?

We live in a place which is

we drove through the snow showers? No, because there's no What if you ever look at a snowflake. Every single snowflake is.

This week on Monday, I was speaking at Bay Park University in Longmeadow.

I said to them that we are here now in Longmeadow which has a land area of 9.7 square miles say 10 square miles and that is 35,200 acres. One inch of rain on one acre weighs 113 tons. The weight of water because one one gram of one ml of water weighs one gram shirts 100 ML weighs one kilograms anyway. So

one inch of rain or one acre weighs 113 tons. Allow me to had until then 5.5 inches of rain

that has a collective weight of 3,977,600 tons.

Now all this water came along meadow and everywhere in the world, as individual raindrops are snowflakes

in individual raindrops are snowflakes. Think about this, even nine mil if 3,977,600 tons of water just dropped

from that other video which is the average flood elevation if you just dropped us one sheet

on Ramadan, or on West being anywhere, what would happen? There will be no longer

I've seen the effect of the tsunami the tidal wave in Sri Lanka, in Yala National Park. There was a concrete building we don't build houses like here, but what we build with RCC reinforced cement concrete or steel inside

that three storey concrete building ceased to exist.

All that was there was the foundation the floor. The steel that the RCC pillars had been sheared off as if someone took a knife and cut it

completely gone. The whole superstructure was a few 100 meters away, just dig it up like that cut.

That is the effect of water. Imagine that water collapsing on top of us.

So how therefore should we thank Allah subhanaw taala who not only sends us what we need, but sends us in a way that reflects his love and His mercy.

When none of that will happen, if you don't think none of that will happen if you don't reflect none of that will happen if we live our lives routinely, like machines.

Ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us the ability to reflect and to think

and to thank him and to show our gratitude by worshiping Him by making our lives in line with what he ordered us to do.

Sure, in the knowledge that as our Creator, He knows what is best for us.

Robin has around Memphis and I love the Filipinos that have that facility open Alpha Filipina coffin on Mercer
