			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:08
			Salatu was Salam ala Aisha freedom
ba will mousseline Muhammad
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			just leaving the clearing gussied
up on my mother. My brothers and
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			sisters, the topic of my hombre
today is when the rubber meets the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			road.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:28
			The Quran Al Karim commands us to
have some and promises help to
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			those who have some who have
patients. Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:38
			taught us how to face difficulty
and he said first Qurani as Oricom
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			worst rolly wallet up for all
Yeah, you want Lavina monastery in
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:50
			with somebody was solid in Allah
Maha sabihin I'm not one of the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:55
			tennis and which means remember be
and I will remember you and thank
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:03
			me and never be ungrateful or
believers seek help is Deanna seek
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:10
			help and seek comfort, in patience
and in prayer in sabar was salah.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			Truly Allah is with those who have
suffered who have patients.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			Brothers, sisters elders, I remind
myself, I knew that the concept of
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			Sobor or patients in Islam is very
interesting and very different
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			from what many people think it is.
Summer doesn't mean to simply pray
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			and do nothing, or to simply sit
and wait things, wait for things
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:41
			to happen, and simply help simply
expect help to come from outside
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:48
			including divine intervention.
Several means to do our best and
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:55
			to use every means at our disposal
to exert our full effort and
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			strength, and then to turn towards
Allah subhanaw taala and seek His
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			help to enable our efforts to
succeed.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:10
			That is our call, I call our call
that our heat of the heart.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:16
			This is what ensures that we
remain on the heat the heat of the
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			heart. To illustrate with an
example. It's like wiring up a new
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:25
			house, making sure that you did
everything correctly following all
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			protocols and safety procedures,
and then connecting it to the
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:36
			transformer and turning on the
switch. It is a combination of two
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			things wiring up correctly and
then connecting and then only
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			connecting to the power source.
It's also about the sequence the
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:50
			wiring before the connection. And
that is why southern maximum
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:56
			effort comes before Salah and
Salah is essential after making
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			the effort so that you don't fall
into the trap of the so called
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			self made man.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			Living an imaginary world where
you think that your success is
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:12
			your own, and that you don't owe
anything to anyone. That is
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			arrogance. And arrogance leads
only to Johanna.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:24
			If you don't wire up the house,
the power source cannot eliminate
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:29
			it. But even if you wire up the
house, without the power source,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			it will remain in darkness. And
that is the importance of the
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:39
			work. I remind myself I knew that
we owe our success to all those
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			around us who Allah subhanaw taala
put there for our benefit and
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:49
			inspired them with love and
respect for us to take the time
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			and trouble they invest their own
time and energy and effort and
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:59
			experience and knowledge for us to
succeed. Islam tells us that we
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:04
			need to acknowledge this and thank
them and thank Allah subhanho wa
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			Taala
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			an excellent book to read in this
context is called outliers,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:16
			outliers, and it's by the
statistician Malcolm Gladwell, who
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:23
			shows statistically how we owe our
success to our circumstances far
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			more than we may like to think
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			it's a very interesting book. I
strongly recommend you read
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
rather than sisters gratitude
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			saves us from arrogance.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:47
			And we wanted her to Anil Alonso
and in Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			sallam
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:56
			law yes what Allah Mala your
school nurse or whatever the law
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			who reported that as soon as a
result and said whoever
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			Word does not thank people has not
thanked Allah.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:11
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to
make us thankful Allah Jana, when
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			people ask,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			why does the help of Allah not
come?
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			Allah subhanaw taala gifts and
Allah gives at the right time, we
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:32
			ask, Allah gives at the right
time, when we look at the wisdom
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			and timing of Allah subhanaw taala
has helped,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:42
			we see his hand in it, the health
comes through material means or
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:47
			may come through material means,
but Allah subhanaw taala sends it
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:53
			in a way where it becomes clear
that it was not material means but
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			the Command of Allah subhanaw
taala which was working
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			I remind myself I knew that
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			let us see Allah
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			told us about the story of Musa
alayhis salam.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:20
			And most of our data could have
saved him in multiple ways. But
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:25
			instead he Gela DeLallo commanded
Musa Ali salaam mother to throw
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			him in the Nile
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:32
			when she feared for his safety
method, what kind of
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			safety measures that
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:41
			I last ran into I said, oh hi Nyla
Oh Mimosa and are they are he for
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:52
			either 50 i Li for NP fill young
wallet Favi one has any in raw do
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:58
			a key word yeah who mineral more
saline. Allah subhanaw taala said
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			We inspired when we sent away to
the mother of Musa alayhis salam
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:07
			and said, nurse him but when you
fear for him, or to him, then into
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			the river and do not fear and do
not grieve. We will certainly
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			return him to you and make him one
of the messengers.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:23
			Allah subhanaw taala told us about
this whole journey, where instead
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			of hiding him or his identity,
Allah subhanaw taala caused him to
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			be directed into the palace of
Iran.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:37
			And not only literally be in the
hands of Iran, but being
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			recognized as that child of Bani
Israel,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:47
			who it was predicted, would
destroy the Pharaonic empire of
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			Egypt.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			The bronze
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:58
			astrologist identified that baby
and advised him to kill the child.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			The Federal obviously had no
compunction about killing a child,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:08
			since it was by his command that
1000s of newborn boys of the Bani
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:13
			Israel had already been killed,
just to ensure that this one child
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:20
			did not survive. Now they had that
very child in dead hands. All that
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:24
			remained was one simple action and
the job would be done and Musa
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:29
			Ali's around story would have
ended before it began. But Allah
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:35
			subhanaw taala wanted to show that
all worldly power and wealth mean
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			nothing.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:43
			And only Allah subhanaw taala as
will prevents
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:51
			the astrologist advice around to
kill the child, but the wife of
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:56
			the pharaoh advised him to spare
the life of the child and instead
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:01
			raise him as their son as they
were childless.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			Rameses the second that was the
that was a pharaoh
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			Rameses the second listen to his
wife.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			And the rest is history.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:26
			And obviously the second became
the foster father and protector or
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:31
			Musa alayhis salaam, and paid for
him to be nursed by his born
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:36
			mother. Naturally that meant a
total transformation of the family
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			are Musa alayhis salam financially
and socially because now they were
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:46
			the people nursing and taking care
of the son of the of the King, the
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			son of the pharaoh of Egypt.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			Once was that he said I was old
enough. He was taken back to the
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:58
			palace and was raised as an
Egyptian prince with access to the
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			highest
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			And most valuable resources of the
time, learning from the best
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:09
			scholars and warriors destined to
be a ruler after his foster
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:09
			father.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:16
			Capital, Egypt was the most
ancient and powerful empire of the
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			time on Earth.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:32
			But Allah subhanaw taala had
something better in store for Musa
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			Salah. So instead of becoming yet
another ruler of an ancient
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:42
			dynasty, he became one who would
write history and be remembered
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:47
			and honored for all time as one of
the five great messengers, who are
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:52
			called all Assam Minahasa. When
Allah subhanaw taala brands,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:11:00
			whatever he plans he does, as a
result, Moser is suddenly lost it
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			all. And he had to flee for his
life.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:10
			And he spent 10 years grazing
sheep as a word
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:16
			of your evolution. He lived in the
house of a prophet being mentored
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			by him for 10 years.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			I want you to put yourself in his
position this so that you realize
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:26
			the difference between
storytelling and story living. The
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:31
			storyteller knows the ending. But
the one living the story doesn't.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			Storytellers therefore, don't feel
the fear and the sadness and the
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:38
			despair and the hope that those
leaving the story do.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:45
			As also as a result of that laser
hammer Valpo Aina the report is
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:49
			not the same as the inspection or
visibility.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			The report is not the same as the
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:00
			inspection or the experience. My
brothers and sisters,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:06
			we are all living our own stories.
We all have our hopes and
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:11
			aspirations, fears and
apprehensions. None of us know the
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:16
			ending of our stories. None of us
knows the ending
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			of his or her story.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:28
			That is why I lost when I told her
stories of his messengers so that
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:32
			we can take courage from knowing
that Allah subhanho data is in
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:36
			control. And just as Musa alayhis
salam accepted and took comfort
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:40
			from this, so should we. The only
condition is that we must
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44
			demonstrate our trust in Allah
subhanho wa Taala by obeying Him.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			That is what Musa gave Musa
alayhis salam, the courage to
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			return to the code of Rameses the
second from where he had fled as a
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:58
			fugitive with a price on his head.
He didn't do that surreptitiously,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			but openly as the messenger of
Allah.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			I remind myself I knew that we
have the stories of the
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:10
			exceptional help of others Mandela
coming but ask who does it come
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:14
			to? It comes to those who are
obedient to Him. Because there is
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:19
			no one more obedient to Allah than
the Nabhi of Allah just had did
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			not come to the five second
budget. It didn't come to the
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			people who were disobedient or
less amount of data. It came to
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:30
			those who are not just obedient to
Allah, but obedient Allah will
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			level of excellence.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			The whole story was that is that I
was so powerful and salutary that
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:41
			we must studied carefully and
apply the lessons in our lives.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			Picture This
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:47
			is a celebrity family are

00:13:47 --> 00:13:52
			which today is called Marva era
shape. It's a historical site that
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:58
			lies 140 miles northwest of
Lubbock city, in Al Bayda

00:14:11 --> 00:14:17
			60 miles north east of Cairo of
Alvira. Today, it's a village or
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:23
			frontier in the Sharia province of
the Eastern Nile Delta in Egypt.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:28
			That is a walk of about 450 wives

00:14:51 --> 00:14:55
			Wait here. I have spotted a fire.
Perhaps I can bring you a torch
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			from it or find some other
guidance at the fire
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			In the words the wonderful words
of the great poet, Mustafa

			Taala that he went to get fire and
he got prophethood instead.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:42
			The key to all of this is
consistency and steadfastness, the
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:48
			willingness to continue despite
the hardship to stay on track,
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			even when it is tough, and you
don't see any light at the end of

faith, Eman, Bill, rave, faith in
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:02
			the unperceivable. We have it
because we believe also Allah is
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:09
			Allah. He said it so we believe it
because we believe him. This is
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:15
			what made Abu Bakr Radi Allahu
acidic. He believes Mohamed Salah
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			and acted on that belief.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:22
			However sisters and elders I

Yamalube Allah that I said about
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:51
			his exam but about steadfastness.
Surely those who say our rub is
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:56
			Allah and then remain steadfast,
there will be no fear for them,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:02
			nor will they grieve. It is dead,
who will be the residents of Jana
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:06
			staying there forever, as a reward
for what they use to do.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:13
			To believe and remain firm on that
belief, and demonstrate that by
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:18
			our action, even when it may not
be popular. That is what is
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:24
			required. As someone said, If
Islam were illegal, would you
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:28
			would they find enough evidence of
it in your life to convict you?
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:34
			Think about this If Islam was
illegal, what those who
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			are searching for muskets? Would
they find enough evidence in your
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			life to convict you? Meaning would
you look like a Muslim?
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:49
			Unless we spoke to us about the
ending for all such people, as
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:54
			Carlos got a talent to make us
among those for whom he promised
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:58
			these beautiful things? Unless
Mandela said in the La Vie
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:06
			Nakamura buena, loathsome Mustapha
data reservoir, he will Mala Allah
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:11
			to have on her there Huzzah, no, I
wish you all will generate in the
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:18
			depot door I do not have only open
filaria to dunya or villa.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			Whatever happened to the test, he
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			only
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			knows all men before he
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:35
			does it which means Surely those
who say our Allah is our rubbish
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:41
			Allah. Allah will follow up with
Allah. Allah says Surely those who
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:47
			say our rubbish is Allah, and then
remains steadfast. That is the
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			key. The key is not to have a
flash in the pan. The key is not
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			simply to say a light bulb and
then do the opposite and disobey
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:59
			Allah No, stay firm and steadfast
on that. Surely those who say our
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:03
			Robbie's Allah, and then remain
steadfast, the angels the melodic
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:08
			and descend on them saying, Do not
fear Do not grieve.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:18
			Rather rejoice in the good news
agenda. The good news agenda will
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			be given us right when we are
dying. Rejoice in the good news of
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:25
			Jannah which you have been
promised. We are your supporters
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:30
			in this worldly life and in the
hereafter. There you will have
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:35
			whatever your souls desire, and
then you will have whatever you
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:42
			asked for are welcome from the all
forgiving, Most Merciful ALLAH ask
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:46
			ALLAH SubhanA data generado to
give this to us and to make our
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:51
			ending like this where we will be
with Allah.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			Allah subhanaw taala will be
pleased with us and some of our
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
