00:00:00 --> 00:00:10
			Li Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala l mursaleen Mohammed Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam just live in Kaziranga.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			My dear brothers and sisters, we are on the lesson of
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:28
			the adult sort of the laquan the wisdom of luck model is Allah which Allah subhanaw taala told us
about, and we asked Allah subhanaw taala to enable us to
		
00:00:30 --> 00:01:12
			pay attention to that beautiful advice, and to bring it alive in our own lives. As I keep saying all
the time to remind myself and you that the purpose of all of these lectures is only one and that is
to practice what we learn in our lives. It is not meant for the, for greater knowledge or more
information or more stories to tell people or anything like that it's meant only and only, so that
we can know Allah subhanaw taala better and we can try to please Allah subhanaw taala more and more
in our lives.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:21
			That is the purpose of all of the lectures. My brothers sisters, I just finished reading a
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:41
			very nice book, which I must recommend to you. It's a book by Chris Hadfield, Colonel Chris
Hadfield. It's called an astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth. Chris Hadfield, Colonel Hadfield was
the commander of the International Space Station. And
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:57
			he was he I have not mistaken I think he is the person who has spent the human being who spent the
last the longest duration of time in space on the International Space Station. So
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:17
			wonderful man, he This is this channel also is there on YouTube, I recommend that you must watch
that. So wonderful stories from the International Space Station kind of experiments they're doing,
they're about life on the ISS, ISS, the International Space Station.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			And all of that very interesting,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			extremely interesting book.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			Now,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:03:11
			among the many wonderful things that he talks about, he talks about the size of the visible
universe. And we can say that the visible universe is a very, very minute part of the actual
universal, you can make that statement as an absolute definitive statement, because to be able to
say that something is a small part or a large part of something else. Automatically, it means that
you also know how much the full extent is. So we can say the full extent is 100. And this is one. So
therefore, this is 100. of the full extent, one can say that, but if you don't know that 100 and all
you know, is this one, then we don't know that this is
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:21
			we can't say exactly how small we know it is small, because we know it is not the whole universe. So
we can't say well, no, this is all that there is it isn't.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:32
			But how small we don't know. But what he what we do know to some extent, is what Colonel Hadfield
says he says that our Earth
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:41
			is one planet in our solar system, and by no means the largest of them is, among the smaller of
them.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:50
			Mercury is smaller than than us but other than that we are among the smallest between the three
Mercury, mercury, Mars and Earth we are one.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:03
			We are one small planet in the solar system, which is the name given to the bunch of planets, which
circle our star and our star is called the sun.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:25
			Can Hadfield says that our solar system is one of the billions of solar systems in our galaxy, and
our galaxy is called the Milky Way. Because this is how it is what it looks like. In space, it looks
like a you know a splash of spilled milk
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:49
			because of the stars in it, and so on and so forth. It has this whitish kind of experience of
appearance. So Ken Hadfield says that we won our Earth is one planet, one small planet, in our solar
system, and our solar system is one in billions of solar systems
		
00:04:51 --> 00:05:00
			in our universe, in our galaxy, and our galaxy, is one of hundreds of books.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			billions of galaxies in the visible universe.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:18
			And the visible universe itself is a miniscule it's a tiny little part. And we don't know exactly
how tiny of the, of the whole thing of the whole universe. Now.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:35
			He says the present knowledge shows us that shows us this thing that we are, you know, one of our
galaxy is one of hundreds of billions Now, I'm not saying millions, hundreds of billions, 1 billion
is 1000 million.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:43
			Now, I don't know whether we are like one pixel in the, in the picture or maybe,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			you know, maybe less than that. But that's how it is now.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:16
			Despite that, think about that, despite that, the creator of all of this not not just the creator of
the of the earth, not just the creator of our solar system, not just the creator of our galaxy, the
creator of all these androids, and billions and trillions of galaxies, and we don't even know what
it is. And things like stars and galaxies and planets and
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:23
			and, you know, other celestial bodies that we know about,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:34
			is what we know I mean, we don't even know what else there is, and whatever it is, the creator of
all of this is Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:06:35 --> 00:07:09
			and for whatever reason, known to himself geladeira Allah subhanaw taala decided to honor us the
human race and I'm not even saying we are the only one honored we don't know that Allah Allah maybe
there are other forms of life and other living things on you know, zillions of planets in the whole
universe, who also Allah honored with whatever he honored them with, you know, with, with religion
with Islam with key tabs and and so on. So, but Allah honored us
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:40
			on this earth with his book, Al Quran Allah Karim and with His Habib Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam about whom he said that he is the best of the whole of creation right. So, even if there are
books and ambia and and lawsuits and and so on so forth in other planets and if there are other
forms of life they may not they may be human like they might be others.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:54
			Soon as SLM is there he is the mum of all of them, whatever they are, that's the best position that
Allah subhanaw taala gave him and that is what I understand when i
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:07
			when i when i read this in terms of imamo ambia Allah did not say mom will fill out a legend say the
mom of the MB on this earth. He said number Amir, though whoever
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:54
			Jubail a salam, for example, is in his or her soul, but who is the Imam of jabril Mohammed Salah
because his Jeeva Salaam is also a Rasul. But he is not the Imam of the MBR who is the who is the
Gambia mama salsa. So anyway, to come back to the kitahara swatara. This is what Allah blessed us
with. He blessed us with his book and he blessed us with his Navy, Mohammed Al Salam. And I'm saying
these two together, because they both complement each other, the Kitab of Allah, without the teacher
of the Gita, which is Mohammed Salah Salam will not make sense to you, the Kitab of Allah without
the teacher who told us who explained the Kitab to us and who
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:20
			told us how to do what Allah ordered us the kingdom of Allah gives us the watch. Mohammed Salim
gives us the how these two are complementary in order for us to live our lives according to the book
of Allah subhanaw taala which is the purpose for which we have been set. Now I will come to that in
the living Islam class inshallah, but just a marker here.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:31
			So now Allah sent the solar service along with all this and Allah sent swans that gave us all this
and he told us about this. And then
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:42
			Allah subhanaw taala gave us the privilege and the honor of worshiping Him. Right and that also not
just once, five times a day, Alhamdulillah
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:59
			five times a day, Allah subhanaw taala gave us the honor of worshiping him yet. I request you think
about how eagerly we wait for that call of the Mozilla how eagerly do we wait for that? Or is that
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			Is it a Is it a burden for us right today we are living in times where massages are close by and
large even even when they are open you know we stand far apart thanks to COVID and so on, but this
is not the norm This is not this is not something that inshallah will remain even for a long time it
will all this will end and we will go back to the actual form of the Salah, which is that we will go
to a point when the when the Moses called inshallah we will flock to the Masai will fill the Masai
and we will stand properly shoulder to shoulder for our Salah by Gemma inshallah ask Allah smelter
to make this a reality very, very soon in sha Allah. So that we can we can show a lot, how much we
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:29
			love him and how much we love worshiping Him inshallah. So point I'm making is that leave this
current period of a few months that we have been maintaining social distance, just think about the
time before that before COVID came to remind us that there is Allah, may Allah protect us from
ourselves, we needed this COVID reminder to tell us and show us that we are not the masters of this
universe, because we had gotten used to living in this world as if we own the place as if this is
ours. You know, I own this earth I can do whatever I like here, nobody can question me this is this
was the attitude of the human race. And this is what brought about
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:40
			COVID-19 as a reminder for us to say that no, no, no, hold on, give me a second, you are not the
owners of this, you are one organism.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:12:04
			On this, even though you might be overweight, and so forth, you want organisms on this planet, and
you are subject to the same rules and regulations and the same soul that Allah has put for everybody
else. And the primary of that primary one of those soul is that you will die that you will, I'm
looking to see there's a bird sitting right behind me and
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:28
			see. So the basic fundamental soul is that you will die and you will recall to account Don't forget
about that. Don't forget that. And since we refuse to listen to that, since we refuse to listen to
all the admonitions and the warnings of Allah subhanaw taala decided to send a tiny little
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:54
			organism, a little virus not even allowed into and honor us with a bacteria a bacterium, Allah sent
us a virus, which is people are not even sure is it a is it? Truly can it be called a living being?
Or is it just a, a program? Right? It's just a, it's not a computer program. It's a program which
comes and starts operating the moment it hits the place, which is
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:41
			our nasal passages, it starts operating, and then nothing can stop it. Right. Nothing can stop it.
All we can do is eat paracetamol and pray. Now, this is what Allah subhanaw taala sent to remind us
to remind us of his presence in our lives to remind us of his greatness of His glory of His Majesty.
Very sad that we have to be reminded in these ways, you know, sometimes we will people complain, oh,
why did God have to do you tell me why God had to do tell me why God had to do look at the amount of
injustice on the face of the earth. Today, I'm talking to you on the 19th of June, which is a
Friday. And I don't know how many of you will know about this but is called Juneteenth. And the
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:50
			reason why it's called Juneteenth is because June and 19th have been put together in this world. In
this word called Juneteenth. The reason why that's done is because
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:58
			when slavery was emancipated it was when slaves were emancipated when slavery was abolished in the
United States in 1736.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:04
			Texas was way down, and it was far away from
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:42
			the Union Army and so on. So even though slavery was abolished in all the, these the northern
southern states, in the Carolinas and so on, which are which were closer to the north. Texas somehow
got left out and and slavery continued in Texas for another two and a half years. And eventually, a
proclamation was made on the 19th of June when slavery was finally abolished, and that's why it's
called Juneteenth. Now imagine slavery is the worst crime against humanity.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:59
			Because nobody but nobody, Allah did not give the right to anyone to say that he or she is superior
to another human being because of their birth. Nobody
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:20
			Even the best the absolute best of creation, according to us Muslims, is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa salatu salam, even Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam did not say that I am superior to you as
a human being right? Not only did he not say that Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:42
			put the words in his blessed on his blessed tongue and he recited the column of Allah he recited the
speech of Allah subhanho wa Taala for us, which we read every Juma in Soto cough and what is that
speech called Anna Bhatia room Miss look, say I am a human being like you.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:37
			And Allah sends on me where he now that is a that is an aspect of his job. So it is like the king
say, I am a human being like you but I rule this country. So in terms of being the king in terms of
authority in terms of his power in terms of, you know, his job that is different from the ordinary
human being, the king has more power and authority and so on because he has more responsibility,
he's more accountable than the normal ordinary human being. But as a human being, the king is
exactly the same as the one who is selling watermelons on a pushcart or somebody selling flowers by
the roadside, or even somebody begging on the street. There is no difference in humanity. This is
		
00:16:37 --> 00:17:25
			Islam Islam says there is no caste system, there is no caste system, there is no creed, there is
nobody who is superior or inferior to another human being on any basis. No, neither in terms of
facial features not in terms of skin color, nor in terms of what ever that you can imagine. There is
no human being who is superior to another human being. No man is superior to any woman, no woman is
superior to any man. No white person is superior to a black person, no black person is superior to a
white person. No brown person is superior to a yellow person, no yellow person is superior to a
brown person. Nobody but nobody is superior to anybody else.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:35
			The only superiority lies with Allah soprano dolla dolla dolla when he mentioned that was in said in
a kurama comin de la Jaco.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:18:12
			Your superiority is based on what is in your heart and your behavior, the extent of your taqwa the
extent to which you are concerned about the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala in everything you
say in everything you do, and that should be visible in your actions. And the degree of that only
Allah knows because it's a state of the heart of this is Islam. So Allah subhanho wa Taala did a lot
of who sent us. It also relies on asylum and Allah data centers is GitHub, so that we can
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:43
			listen, we can understand and we can practice it in our lives. And so that we can thank Allah
subhanaw taala for it and that is the reason why it's so hard to look man this set of eyes that I
mentioned where Allah subhanaw taala, mentions of Manali Salaam and his advice to his son, before
Allah comes to the advice of Melissa Busan, Allah tala reminds us and reminds the readers of his
column to be thankful to him deletable anishka Lila
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			anish kuruvilla
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			with Carla Luqman Oh,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			Allah subhanaw taala said to look Marley Salah, anish kuruvilla
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:17
			wa aka Athena, Look, man, look, man and hekla And verily We bestowed upon of man wisdom. And what is
that? What is the fundamental part of that wisdom, and it could lead to be thankful to Allah
subhanaw taala all wisdom begins with thankfulness to Allah subhanaw taala. Now, how can we thank
Allah?
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:30
			What is the method of thanking Allah? Is it is it enough simply to say, oh, wow, thank you so much.
And then we do whatever we like. Think about this. Let me give you an example. And Allah Allah,
Allah, Allah, Allah is above and
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:54
			an over and above any example, example you only do so say for example, your friend has a Ferrari.
Like he's got destroyed. And maybe it's your dream, to drive a Ferrari. It's not my dream. I'm just
saying maybe it's your dream to drive a Ferrari. So you say Oh, often that is the moment you look at
your friend's Ferrari. You know you're drooling. You're
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			so you're so desperate. Oh my god. Fantastic blue. Fabulous. Oh,
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			I wish I could write. So friends is most welcome. Please go. Here's the key. Right, right.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:49
			So now you take the Ferrari, you say, Oh, you say, Oh, thank you so much, they would take this
Ferrari, and you shoot out of his driveway, and then you spin on the highway. And, you know, there's
smoke coming out from the wheels, and then you floor it. And now you're doing 200 miles an hour on
this Ferrari. And if you put your hand out like that, maybe you get airborne, or you get this you
think you get, you'll get airborne. And you know, the traffic coming on both sides in your wing like
this through traffic, and zipping. And then next thing, you know, there's a police helicopter on
top, and you're trying to outrun the helicopter, and eventually, you know, they catch up with you.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			And there are barriers and whatnot. And
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			in the process, you go and you hit a barrier, and you trash the Ferrari.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			And then
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:07
			you come and you stand in front of your friend is Oh, fantastic. Thank you so much. That was a
beautiful experience. That was a fabulous experience.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			And the French is, what about the Oh, that got trashed?
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			God, trust me doesn't make sense to you.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:32
			Does this make sense to you? Is this thankfulness, so would you say that you are a thankful person?
And you know, your friend gave you this beautiful car? And he blessed you with his friendship and
you were grateful to him? Can you say that?
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:40
			Is it a sign of gratitude? To take something with somebody gives you and misuse it?
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			And trash it and damage it?
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:54
			I know it's a dumb question. I know it's a stupid question. My son sorry to ask you stupid question.
But this is the actual reality of what we
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			try to do with our lives.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:07
			Believe me, your life in my life is far, far, far more important than any Ferrari. Right, because
the human life is from Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			Allah subhanaw taala gave us this life.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:22
			And this is the greatest gift that Allah gave us. Because with this life, Allah gave us the
opportunity to earn Jana.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:28
			Allah gave us this life with the opportunity to please Him
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:52
			by being thankful to him, to obey Him, and in order that we may live this life in a way, which is a
thing of beauty and dignity for ourselves, and a thing of harmony and benefit for everybody else.
Allah subhanaw taala gave us the, the,
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			the manual,
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:17
			of how to live the operations manual of how to live this life which is called the Quran. And Allah
Subhana Allah in addition to the operations manual, Allah gave us this beautiful teacher who taught
us this operations manual, not merely by talking and lecturing like we tried to do, but by actually
living
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:24
			that message by living that message sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, just live and
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:34
			now if we take this gift of Allah, which is life, and we trash it
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:50
			what is that treasure, that trashing is to worship anyone other than Allah, that trashing is to
abuse ourselves. Sisters in substance abuse of any kind, alcohol, tobacco or drugs is that
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:55
			if we live our lives in a way which are destructive
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:02
			ways are destructive. If we destroy the Allah put us into this beautiful planet, right.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:25
			And I'm deliberately recording these videos, I'm trying to find nice location so that you get some
nice views I'm sorry for spoiling the picture of our being in the middle of it, but you know, that's
part of the part of your test in this life. So try to cut me out from this and just watch and look
and see the roses here and that beautiful grass at the back and the water behind
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:37
			so that you can appreciate appreciate the whole rottefella the beauty of Allah now the many videos,
videos of mine will pass through and yada yada and all that in the in Sri Lanka,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			in the in the in the forest.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:59
			I try to do that so that you know at least you can appreciate this this portrait of Allah, Allah. I
mean, each one of us is living in a different aspect of the horrors of Allah. You don't necessarily
have to be sitting in front of a rosebush to see the beauty of Allah subhanaw taala the beauty of
the hadith of Allah subhanaw taala is visible for me.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:15
			Anwar to open his eyes and look, no matter which city you are living in, no matter which desert you
are living in, no matter which forest or wilderness you are living in everything and everywhere and
every season has its own beauty.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:29
			Right? So, this is the contract and this is the glory and majesty of Allah. Allah subhanaw taala put
us here. Now, if we don't thank Allah, if we take this life and we trash it,
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:37
			ourselves, we don't do anything to Allah. But you trash yourself, then you say that Oh, I'm how's
that thankfulness.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:26:19
			So what must we do? What must we do to ensure that we are thankful and that's the first lesson of
the lessons of the oneness. Now I know that I know I remember I recall. I'm not, I'm not forgetting
the last lesson also was on sugar, believe me, we can talk about sugar. For every single lesson from
now until the day I die, we still would not have fulfilled the rights of Allah subhanho wa Taala. To
be thanked, when in doubt, do Namah de la de la suha Allah subhanaw taala said you cannot thank
Allah, you cannot even count the blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala, even if you tried,
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:29
			counting is just 1234 it's not even thanking Allah saying even the county you will not be able to do
if you wanted to do it.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:38
			So let alone the thanking, but we want to thank Allah subhanaw taala because Allah told us to thank
him and because we want to thank him We are so grateful to Allah.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:52
			So therefore, how can you thank Allah there are three requirements, there are three things that you
and I need to do if we want to thank Allah subhanaw taala and we ask Allah to make that tanks
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			at least somewhere
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:11
			equal to what is right, I don't say it's equal, nothing can be equal to his right what we what we do
we ask Allah to take our broken little action and to then beautify it in a way that pleases Him and
to accept it inshallah.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:59
			Three things, first one that we think of, and we mentioned his blessings and thank him for them. So
the first thing is to say, oh, Allah Alhamdulillah. All praise all times be to you that I'm sitting
here in the beautiful surroundings, all praise and thanks be to you that the sun is not hot, that
it's a nice cloudy morning, all praise and all thanks to you that it is not raining. Because it
could be cloudy and very beautiful. But I can't sit outside here because it is raining, it's not
raining, it's misty, there's a little bit of a little bit of moisture in the air, but it is not
raining. All praise and all thanks to you, that I could be sitting here and dozing or I could be
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:45
			sitting here and you know doing anything else. But instead of that I'm sitting here and I'm thanking
you I'm sitting here and I'm making your Vicar all praise and glory. And thanks to you, that you
gave me a phone, small, little piece of technology that enables me also to share this beauty with
all the beautiful people who are listening to this and who will listen to this going forward. So it
says means insha Allah azza wa jal jharia for me All praise and glory and thanks to you, which gives
me the opportunity to request all of you guys to make dua for me when you watch this. And when you
remember this, now I can go on I can go on, you know, more and more and more, and none of that will
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:57
			be sufficient and it will not even about counting the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala but I'm just
saying this to illustrate to you what I mean by saying that we need to count
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:24
			and thanks so the first requirement is, we actually mentioned that blessing Yeah, Allah, you gave me
eyesight, you gave me color, full color eyesight so I can appreciate the the the the rose color of
the rose the reds and the Pink's of the roses. I can appreciate the blue of the water behind me I
can appreciate the blue of the sky which is a different kind of blue. It has cloud in it which gives
it a sort of blue gray.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:30:00
			texture, I can appreciate the green, the different shades of green. There is a green of the grass
behind me there is a green of the evergreen tree over there and there's another tree at the back
there. Now that one there which is a different shade of green and then right in the back on the
other side of the inlet of the sea there is an island and it fades off into the blues. There is the
the chimney here next to me which is dry stone there that has it that has
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:28
			Brown, all of this I'm able to appreciate not only because I have eyesight but because I have full
color vision. If I did not have full color vision, this picture would be black and white and it
would not be half as, as beautiful as it is now. Those of you who don't believe me, take a
screenshot go into photo editing, make it black and white, and you know what I mean? Right under
law, Allah has given us all of these technologies today
		
00:30:29 --> 00:31:20
			in our little cell phones, and we can do all of these, you know, funny things with them, let us use
them in order to get us closer to Allah subhanaw taala let us use the technology to help us to get
closer to Allah subhanaw taala. So the first and foremost thing is we thank Allah subhanaw taala for
his blessing. So what he gave us, the second thing is that we live a life in complete obedience to
Allah subhana wa Tada. And on the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, which is a demonstration
of his orders. So I'm tagging Allah. And the way of thanking Allah is to live my life according to
how Allah wanted me to live his life, how he wants me to do my life, I tag my friend for allowing me
		
00:31:20 --> 00:32:07
			to drive his Ferrari and then what do I do? I drive it very, very carefully. I do try try out the
speed. I mean, the whole point of driving a Ferrari is to be able to just to try and drive it fast.
But I do that in a place where it is safe to do that. I ensure that I am treating that car better
than I treat or then I would treat my own car, because this does not belong to me. This has been
given to me in trust. This life has been given to us in trust this life does not belong to us. That
is why suicide in Islam is haram. Suicide is an expression of complete despair, total despair. A
person committing suicide is a person who has lost all hope, and Muslim does not lose hope at all. A
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:33
			Muslim does not lose all hope. At least a Muslim does not lose even a small piece of hope. Because
we trust Allah subhanho wa Taala there is no problem on the face of this earth that we can or will
ever face, which Allah subhanaw taala cannot solve for us if he wants to. So when a Muslim faces a
problem, Muslim says well, how can I persuade my Arab? How can I press with Allah subhanaw taala to
solve this for me?
		
00:32:35 --> 00:33:24
			That's a red shouldered black bird. It's called a Red Wing, red winged Blackbird. beautiful bird, it
has red on the shoulders, and doesn't have a very nice call. But that's very magnificent, but to
look at anyway, so a Muslim is thankful to Allah subhanaw taala. So therefore, what do we do we
treat what Allah gave us with respect, which means that we treat it the way he wants it to treat us
to treat now and what is that thing is, it's my life. So as I said, My life is a trust. So suicide
is haram because we say, is an expression of lack of hope of despair. And a Muslim does not despair,
the one who despairs is committing code for the one who is despairing of the mercy of Allah, this
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:47
			person is denying Allah subhanaw taala. He is denying that Allah is merciful. If you if you say
Allah is merciful, then how can you deny deny His mercy? If I say Allah is merciful, then how can I
commit suicide? I cannot commit suicide. Because whatever happens to me, may Allah protect all of
you from all evil from all difficulties, from all diseases from all suffering.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:34:22
			Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam said, How beautiful is the state of the believer? That if he gets
something good which he likes you Thanks Allah. And if you get something which is difficult, then he
has suffered, he does not complain, he does not more and groan. He does not blame Allah. He has
suffered. He has patience, and Allah awards. So when he tanks Allah, Allah rewards him. When he has
suffer when he has patience, Allah also rewards it. So he's getting reward from both sides. So why
would he Why would he despair? Right? And lamesa Salim said that a Muslim,
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:49
			if he a person who believes in Allah subhanho wa Taala even if a pin, if a thorn pricks his foot
Allah forgives us in for him, that the problem the difficulty the pain is in this world which is
finite, which is limited, but the reward of it is in the next world which is infinite, and which is
forever.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:59
			Now, we don't ask for pain, obviously because we ask Allah subhanaw taala to save us from pain, but
if we do get some pain then we are thankful
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			There is a little
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:13
			house Wren, which is hopping around I wish I had another camera which I could take these pictures
and show you. So take my word for it. He's hopping around looking for insects. So
		
00:35:14 --> 00:36:00
			the the thankfulness to Allah subhanaw taala is even if you have difficulties, a Muslim doesn't lose
hope. There's no there's no loss of hope. Yes, there's a difficulty. So we will face it. A Muslim
faces difficulty with courage, with courage. He stands up and he says, I will face difficulty with
courage. A Muslim does not oppress, because to oppress Islam to oppress anybody is evil. It is zulum
it is. It is something we just transgressing the boundaries that Allah set for us. And also equally,
it is zulum to accept oppression because it is zulum to oppress and it is to accept oppression.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:07
			Right zyada de Cana Zuma, or zhaga de como Carnaby Zulu.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			That's why we, I mentioned do slavery to
		
00:36:12 --> 00:37:03
			to enslave people, or to support slavery, Islamic oppression, and to accept that situation is
equally evil. And it is equally it is equally Islam. Because if you are accepting that situation,
then it means that you are supporting the slaver, you're supporting the slave owner, you are
supporting the one who is enslaving you, you must fight it. We all fight, every Muslim must fight
against slavery of any kind, any kind of racism any kind of slavery is something that our Muslim
must stand up and he must fight our our our Prophet, Elijah Sallam didn't tell us to have to accept
and to cower down and bow down to oppression. He told us to stop oppression. He said, If you and the
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:21
			head is opposite, I will say that delana where he he quoted NASA who said that if you see anything
wrong, any wrongdoing, which is operation, which is anything why it doesn't have to be slavery, but
whatever. And of course, it includes slavery. He said, If you see anything wrong happening, then
stop it with your hand.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:27
			Go and stand up against that person, hold that person's hand and say, oh, can't do this.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:37
			And he said, if you are so weak, that you are unable to do that, then speak out against it. Do not
sit silently. Do not just watch that thing and sit silently.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:38:16
			speak out against it. And he said even if you can't do that, then hate it in your heart Meaning
what? Meaning you don't do it yourself. You don't practice it yourself. You don't accept that this
what is happening is okay, in your heart you hate it. And he said that is a sign of the weakness of
your faith. That is a sign of the of a disease of your heart. So Alice, Martha is telling us that if
you are not speaking out against oppression, something is wrong with you. And it's your heart which
is in problems. What must you do with oppression stop it with your hand or speak out against it.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:39:07
			So the second thing for us to do in order to thank Allah is to live our lives according to the way
of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because that is the expression and the manifestation of the
orders of Allah. And the third thing we need to do is that we never use Allah blessings for his
disobedience in doing anything that Allah does not like, like I give you the example of the Ferrari.
What must you do? You thank the person who gave you who lent you loaned you that Ferrari, then you
get into that car and you drive it carefully. Enjoy yourself, thank the person bring that back car
back to that person in pristine condition. You do not take that car and abuse it because that would
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:51
			be gross tank lessness of that person. No matter how much you attack that person. When you got into
the car, no matter how much you attack that person when you got the keys of the car. If you are
going to abuse that car, then you are being grossly thankless and in your expressing in gratitude to
that person and Allah subhanaw taala said waiting for another Villa Shadi. He said the one who's
ungrateful to me be where my punishment is severe We ask Allah to protect us from his punishment. So
the point that therefore three things to do one is to tank actually say thank you. Number two is to
is to live our lives according to
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:59
			the orders of Allah subhanaw taala which means on the Sunnah of Mohammed Salah Salaam And the third
thing is true
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:20
			I used to is never to abuse those things which Allah gave us in by doing things which Allah
dislikes. So Allah gave us eyesight, never look at her up. Never look at *. Right? I mean,
I don't know. Somebody sent me this all things about * and what people and these Muslims
		
00:40:22 --> 00:41:06
			believe or say they believe about * and some of the things they say no, it's okay. We can
watch * because the people who are doing it are doing it willingly. First and foremost,
that is a gross and total lie. Gross and total lie. There is no woman on the face of the earth who
actually wants to do what is shown in * infographic films. It is not my subject here.
Maybe I'll talk about that later. But just to give you a point point, no woman on the face of the
earth those women are enslaved those women are are put to in two terrible punishments if they do not
do what they do. That's number one. Second thing is irrespective of that, even if that is happening
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:40
			even if you say that what is happening those men and women doing doing the Harambee they are doing
on that screen. They are doing it willingly wanting Lee they love it there. Where on earth did you
get this thing that the religion which prohibits you from looking at the face of a non Muslim woman
and which where you are as a man you are told, lower your gaze? Don't even look at the face of a non
married woman. This is our religion. Where did that religion give you the permission to look at
people copulating on screen I met
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:44
			have people have Muslims completely lost lost it.
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:48
			I stuck with him in a lie whenever you.
		
00:41:51 --> 00:42:13
			Allah gives you eyesight for this. This is what I mean. abusing the blessings of Allah. Allah gives
us eyesight, we use it for her. Allah gives us hearing. We use it to listen to her. Allah gives us
speech. And we use it for haram use it for profanity we use it for to abuse people we use it that
for yelling and screaming, asked for it.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:19
			My brother and sisters Time to wake up. Time to wake up the Quran I came to wake us up.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:43:05
			Let us wake up before we are brought before Allah subhanaw taala you don't want to be dragged in
chains before Allah subhanaw taala and then dragged away into the hellfire. They want to be brought
before Allah subhanaw taala invited to come and make some jokes to our Rob della della Lu and to
receive his his his his blessing and to receive His forgiveness and his mercy. ask Allah subhanaw
taala We are pleased with you and never to be displeased. ask Allah subhanaw taala to give you from
his treasures until you are pleased and then to give you even more as a mark of His Majesty and
grace and as a mark of his generosity. ask Allah to free this world from slavery of every kind. ask
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:49
			Allah subhanaw taala to punish the enslavers in a in a remarkable way, which stands out, I asked
them to free all people who are and who are being enslaved, no matter who they are, no matter where
they are, no matter who is trying to enslave them. ask Allah subhanaw taala to support and to
strengthen the hands of all those who are fighting against slavery, and to include us in them. So
that when the lists are read out on the Day of Judgment of those who fought against slavery, may
Allah subhanaw taala cause that your name and my name is in that list of people who fought against
slavery, or Salahuddin Abdul Karim, Allah Allah He was savage mind bureaucratically.
