00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Hola Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam O Allah.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:15
			Muhammad Rasul Allah is Allah Allah Allah he values that we can learn from the advice that a Ceylon
gave to his son.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:24
			And in this context I mentioned to you what Allah subhanaw taala told us in the Quran before he
mentioned to him.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			Now, when we
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:52
			look at this advice of Allah Subhana, Allah, that Allah subhanaw taala advised us to be grateful,
when Allah subhanaw taala when you mentioned earlier salam, he said, that we have given, we have
given we had given the quantity salam, Al hikmah, which is wisdom. And then Allah said, and we said
to him, and escuela, we said, Be grateful to Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			So when we look at his gratitude, what does it mean? What do we need to do? How do we
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			measure this in our own lives? Now,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:31
			I mentioned to you the example of your friend giving you a nice car, his car to drive. So here is
something the exactly the principle there is that you are being given the use of something that does
not belong to you, you would love to use it. It's your dream to use it, you need to use it. But and
it's being given to your friend, the person who's giving it to you is not charging you for it. He's
not, he's not renting it out to you.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			He's just giving it to you for free.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:46
			But how do you use it in that case? How do you use that thing, if you use that thing in a way, which
is detrimental, which is destructive, which is something which
		
00:01:47 --> 00:02:13
			is harmful to it may be harmful to you also, but it's also harmful to the thing that is given to
you, and you damage that thing and you misuse it, then obviously you are accountable before the
person who gave it to you and you are if that person wants to, you know if he gets angry with you,
then there is a reason for that. So, applying the same principle in our lives, let us see what do we
do with what Allah gave us.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:57
			Let us just take one of the faculties that Allah subhanaw taala gave us without which life will be
very difficult. I don't say life will be impossible, because life will go on. But life will be
extremely difficult. And that is take the faculty of eyesight. Now, if we did not have eyesight as
somebody who is blind, and they can't even explain to you and you even if you ask somebody who is
blind, what does it feel like to be blind, I am not advising you that they can't explain it to you
what you can do to experience that is to blindfold yourself, blindfold yourself, have a friend who
can be and then go for a walk or have a friend
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			who can be with you.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			Even you know hold your hand and guide you
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:24
			so that you don't injure yourself. But that friend, tell that friend to be silent and say nothing.
You walk around blindfolded in the place, which you would like to walk in. So maybe there is this
beautiful park or you know, whatever. And
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			or watch if you're watching
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			your favorite TV,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:37
			blindfold yourself. Now you might say well, what's the point in blending blindfolding myself and
sitting there?
		
00:03:38 --> 00:04:06
			If I if I'm watching television, that's that is what will give you an idea of what it feels like to
be blind. I'm not asking you also to put your lights you can still listen to the dialogue. But you
What do you think it does to the experience of watching that show, if you are only listening to the
sounds, and you are unable to see the sights. Now this is the value of a very simple way of valuing
sight size. sad sight is much more than this because
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			thanks to sight, we are able to read we are able to
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:48
			you know appreciate what we read, we are able to see things which we love to see we are able to do
all of these things. It's all because of you know of sight that we are able to see. I mean even if
we as I mentioned before many times, even if you had black and white sight, even if you didn't have
color vision, you would still see things perfectly clearly. But the joy of seeing that thing in full
color would be Tonight you will not be able to see that. So life in black and white is different
from life in full color. You could have sight which is partially up to
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:59
			two allow you to function but it is not, you know clear 2020 vision and those of us who wear glasses
and you don't have to go
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Fargo discovered that the day you misplace your glasses,
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:09
			then you're fumbling around in trying to find them all of this is
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:19
			this should give us an indication of the value of what Allah subhanaw taala gave us. Now,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			the as far as the
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			issue of, of being grateful is concerned, therefore
		
00:05:28 --> 00:06:14
			the I let me ask you to do a little exercise and that exercise is that write down the name of the
blessing. What is this blessing that you have this blessing, maybe one of your faculties and maybe
some thing that Allah has given you, maybe your authority and position maybe your wealth, maybe your
health, maybe members of your family, maybe members of people who know your friends, whoever,
whoever you consider to be a blessing, right? And a number one, top of the top of that list, I would
write Rasul Allah is Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah. So here is the blessing. And then next to that
second column, make a make a table with three columns, three columns. So first column is blessing.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:29
			second column is, how do I use that blessing? So this blessing has been given to me, for me to use,
I need it, I love it, I can't do without it. How do I use that lesson? So I was talking about I
said, Let's stick with that. Here's my side.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:47
			Which is a blessing wireless router. How am I using it? Meaning Am I using this blessing in the way
that Allah Subhana? Allah wants me to use it? Or am I using it in a way which incurs the displeasure
of Allah subhana wa Tada.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			And then third column?
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			What do I need to do now?
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:03
			Given that I have this blessing, it hasn't been taken away from me it is there. And given that I use
it in a way,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:11
			whatever that ways, then third one is what? Therefore what do I need to do about this? Now?
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:59
			If I'm using this blessing in the best possible way, that Oprah and hamdulillah ask Allah for Easter
comet, ask Allah subhanaw taala to give you the strength to continue to do that, because we keep
changing, but inshallah We ask Allah for, is to come. And we continue. But if I find that I'm using
this blessing, in a way that a lot of man have done, or did not allow, not prescribed, in a way that
Allah subhanaw taala that makes Allah upset that Allah Subhana Allah will dislike this and displease
him, then I need to change and that change, what is that change? So when I say I need to change the
way in which I am using this blessing, what does that mean? Like, what does that mean? What am I
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			going to do? So I think let's do that. Let's do that as a
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			exercise.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:22
			And, and then and then try to see what changes we can bring about. Now whenever I've tried to do
such a thing, this exercise, what strikes me is the sheer magnitude and the number of blessings that
Allah Subhana Allah has given me and I'm sure that you will all feel the same.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:41
			Love mentioned this, Allah subhanaw taala said when in doubt, do not lie to her. So her and I said,
if you try to count the blessings of Allah, you will not be able to count them, I'm talking about
being thankful for them. So if you can't even count the number of blessings, then how can you be
thankful for them, but inshallah we make
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:56
			rewards and he's the only one who rewards us for effort, the whole world is will reward us or may
reward us for results. A lot of the times, even if you get the result, you still don't get the
reward. But in many cases,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:15
			you'll get the reward if you show the results, but never when you are simply making an effort. So
effort when effort is rewarded. This has been alight only from a lot smarter. And so we ask Allah
subhanaw taala to help us to do things which are pleasing to Him.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			And then let us bring us this exercise to bring about
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:30
			change in our life. So I request you to do this exercise today before you go to bed.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:40
			I heard the sound of the Horn of a car wandering in America they don't honk.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:10:00
			Now, this tendency of being ungrateful, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned this tendency that we human
beings have to be ungrateful. Allah mentioned it many times in the Quran. In surah, Allah subhanaw
taala said what our karma cannot come from
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			de jure Allah, Allah confy Hama Ayesha kalila mata Quran, Allah subhanaw taala said which means and
surely we gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you there in provisions for your life.
Little thanks to you give a blessing I gave you power I give you authority, varying degrees. Some
people have authority over themselves. Some people have authority over their families, some people
have authority over communities. Some people have authority over countries, some people have
authority which comes from love, from the respect that people give them some people have authority
to the barrel of a gun.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			And unless and then we give
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:28
			you not just your authority, but we gave you provisions for your life gave you well to give you
health we gave you all that required for life. But little thanks, God. ask Allah subhanaw taala to
save save us from being ungrateful, as I mentioned in the earlier lecture, unless Montana mentioned
this tendency of being ungrateful wareness Mandela said Be grateful to Allah subhanaw taala lane Sha
khardungla z denicola in Cabo tominaga Villa de de la said that the one who is grateful to Allah
subhanho wa Taala. If you are grateful to Allah, ln Shakur, to man, if you are grateful to Allah
subhanho wa Taala as Eden, Verily Allah will increase the blessings that He has given Allah in
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:37
			Coppertone in relation to you and if the person is ungrateful than Allah Subhana Allah said, if you
are ungrateful, then beware that my punishment is severe.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:12:05
			So you ask Allah to save us on punishment. So let's try to be as grateful as we can, then Allah
subhanaw taala answer the moon Allah sallallahu alayhi insha Allah como Samar, Allah busara, one of
either Kali llamada school, Allah said it is he, Allah Subhana Allah Jalla delectable Who has
created for you the sense of hearing and the sense of sight and hearts with understanding but little
is the thanks that you give.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:51
			Then Allah granted us here in Zurich says that full Massawa who was enough of a fee me Rohit rajala,
Rocco summer Allah avasarala, Frieda Dockery, la Motta school, Allah said then he fashioned him
meaning Allah fashion the human being, he's a little who fashioned him meaning the human being into
proportion and breathed into him the soul that Allah subhanaw taala created for him and he gave you
and just La Jolla de la Lu says he gave you hearing years he gave a sight eyes and he gave you
hearts with understanding. But lately is the thanks that you give. And then sort of the little gala
telesat falola De Anza acoem why Giada looking was summer I love Assad I want a free data. Vanilla
		
00:12:51 --> 00:13:00
			Moscow Allah said why he say it is he jealous a lot of who who has created you and endow you with
hearing
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:08
			factor to hearing and sight and hearts little thanks.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:29
			When it's important to express thanks to Allah subhanaw taala who already knows the state of our
hearts, Allah subhanaw taala knows whether we are thankful we are not thankful. But still when it is
so important to express thanks to Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:35
			think about how important it is to express thanks to people
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:06
			who don't know whether we are grateful or not. We may assume that they know but they don't know.
Only Allah knows the state of the heart. Yet Allah Subhana Allah told us to be thankful to him to
express that thanks not just to be there, it deserved my heart not to express the thing through
worship of Allah subhanaw taala to thanking Allah Samaritan authorities dig through obedience to Him
delegated, and how much more important it is to tank those who are ruthless, those who give us those
who help us those who
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:31
			go out of their way to be good to us. The problem is we take for granted things which happen on a
daily basis we take for granted, especially our families, right how many, how many wives times their
husbands for dedicating their entire lives to the welfare of the wife. And here the situation which
is
		
00:14:32 --> 00:15:00
			which is so amazing. I am not going to say anything critical about that. But it's so amazing, that
here is a man who and this is true for for you know for all husbands, Mashallah there is somebody
who is in an abusive relationship and so on. I don't mean that but most people are not offended. So
here is a man who dedicated his entire life, to your welfare, to this to his wife's welfare,
whatever you can
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:44
			He spends his 40 years 45 years of his work, like if he's in employment, if he's self employed in
the whole of his life until he drops dead, his only focus is that my wife and children should be
fine. Should be well, and he is, I know people and in some in some times you and I have been dead,
which is that you work in jobs which are rigid, you don't even like you work for people you discuss
what is the secret? Absolutely detest. Yet, you do that because you are afraid that if you lose your
life, if you lose your job, then it will bring hardship to the family. Now, of course, under law
today and the law for a long time now, more sense than that. And we know that only allies are
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:50
			examples of hotel Mateen. It's not the job which is feeding us or Allah did not say that in order
to,
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:07
			to look after your family and or eat, necessarily, you must take abuse from somebody, no, we don't
have to do that. Well, Alhamdulillah, we can work with dignity. And Allah told us to work with
dignity, Allah subhanaw taala gave us our provision, without,
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:48
			you know, without making it compulsory for us to debase ourselves before anybody, so we don't need
to do that. But people do it, we will do it all the time. That's how a lot of companies with very
abusive cultures continue to be in existence, a lot of managers who will treat their people continue
to be in existence, and that man comes back towards the next one, even though he's being ill
treated. And the reason he's doing that is because he has a wife to take care of, he has a family,
and it's got children to take care of, in some cases, it may be others may be mother, father,
whoever. So the point is here is a situation where a man is dedicated his whole life to the welfare
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:18
			of his family. Question is, how grateful is that family? And how many times have you seen the
children or the wife, or even the parents for that matter? The fact that your son needs to do
something, and it is his duty is a different issue. I mean, we are not denying that. But how about
consciously and saying thank you to them? Might as they criticize people in the West, and we say,
Oh, they have this Father's Day, Mother's Day, today, incidentally, is Father's Day here 21st of
June,
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			and Muslims very,
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			quite, quite wrongly, but very, you know, in a pompous way.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:39
			We say, Oh, you know, we don't need any fathers. Because we know so our fathers everyday, you know,
that, you know, and I know that that's a that's a lot of you know what,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:55
			you do not serve your father everyday. And I'm not saying you abuse your father every day, you may
not do that. But don't say you serve your father every day. So if somebody is celebrating a
particular day doesn't mean that they are neglecting their parents all all their lives. Now, I have
seen some of the people here whose
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:02
			whose treatment of their parents is absolutely unbelievable. I mean, I can't even begin to imagine
how,
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:35
			you know, when I see you, I'm not talking about tsmc, what I've seen in our eyes, how they treat
their parents, how beautifully they treat their parents. So the point is that it's human beings and
human beings. It's not white people, black people, brown people, it's a shoe of individuals, that
are good people and bad people everywhere. So here I'm saying the how thankful are we to the people
around us, same woods, husbands to wives, I just talked about the importance of being grateful to
your husband, to the breadwinner, breadwinner of your family.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:19:13
			Same thing for the wife, I mean, here is a woman who has dedicated her life to you. Right, and she
is responsible for the fact that when you come home, there is a meal to eat, there's a hot meal to
eat the house is looks beautiful. Everything is in place, right? Everything is taken care of all
your basic needs, which you might take for granted. And most of us do take it for granted, are taken
care of, for example, there are clean clothes in the closet that they didn't grow there. Somebody
took the trouble to wash them and dry them and iron them and fold them and put them there and try
and do it one day. You see what you see the fun. It's not that you can do it or not. You're not
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:57
			paralyzed. But it takes a lot of time and energy and effort. And somebody is doing all of that for
you. Somebody's cooking your meals, somebody who's cleaning your house. Even if you've got seven
somebody supervising them, yeah, who's that somebody that somebody is away. So now how grateful are
you to her how grateful I am to her in terms of, you know, expressing that thanks. I mean, this is
something which is so critically important. So also take children, you have children, which and then
you know from the time I mentioned this before, and I'll mention it again and again and again. How
many parents completely changed their lives, the way they live their lives, where they live, what
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			they do what activities they have.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:00
			Engage in
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			only because they have children. I've seen parents
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			refusing, I've seen men refusing
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:33
			very lucrative career moves, because they have children. So because they can't they the children are
going to school in this particular place. And they are doing well everything settled. So the father
deliberately takes a decision to say, I will not take this career move what I'm making money now I
can't making enough and I need to spend time with the children.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:51
			Right. So it is the question, the question to the children is how many of you express gratitude to
your parents? How many of you actually thankful parents take your mother than any kind of the work
the mother does for the children is so enormous and so
		
00:20:53 --> 00:21:01
			substantive that Allah subhanaw taala himself mentioned, Allah subhanaw taala said, just a pregnancy
alone, Allah subhanaw taala said that she carries you
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			in difficulty after difficulty,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:15
			you know, and the kind of pain I mean, really Allah subhanaw taala thinks forgetfulness is the mercy
of Allah, forgetfulness is a huge mercy of our life, we remembered
		
00:21:17 --> 00:22:00
			the bad things, if you remember the things that happened to us, and we are unable to forgive for to
forget them, believe me, life would become impossible, right would simply become impossible. But
Allah subhanaw taala allows us to forget, and one of the things that Allah allows us to forget, is
he allows the woman to forget the pain of childbirth. Because here's the thing that if a woman can
recall what she underwent, when she was in labor, no woman would ever have a second chance. First
one happened, I didn't realize what I was going to go through. But that memory will stick in their
mind such that no woman will ever have a second child. But we won't have more than two children.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:40
			Because I'll make them forget. So they don't remember the pain that they went through. And so the
human race is propagated. So question of how thankful Are you so not as good as the salami talking
here about not making a you know, whole list of the number of people in our lives who we need to
thank. So I got mentioned, for example, those who serve you on a day to day basis. And not I'm not
talking about those who serve you. Occasionally. I mean, when you go somewhere, somebody opens the
door, and it goes on like the other day we went to eat out in a restaurant. And we were looking for
the year, they
		
00:22:41 --> 00:23:11
			still don't have restaurants with eating outside, but they are eating inside, but they have
permitted people to restaurants open with outdoor seating, in outdoor seating, this is summer in
America, so it's not cold, but the sun is extremely hot. And because, you know we live in here we
are in a place where the atmosphere is absolutely clear. The rays of the sun has nothing to stop
them from hovering, hovering around you. And it's a lot of ultraviolet radiation.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			So you need a roof, literally a roof over your head.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:33
			So we are looking for a place where we could have some shade and all the there was a big shed, and
which there were tables. And then there were tables outside. We which were in the sun. So the only
table which was there was one outside so we went and sat there.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:50
			And then you also have to stand in a line maintaining social distance, and then you get to a counter
where you order your food and then either someone brings it to you or you go and collect it when
they call out your name or number. So this whole process has to be gone. So so I
		
00:23:51 --> 00:24:04
			was looking, I just locked in to see the tables in that under that shed to see if anyone looked like
they were going to finish and leave. And there was nobody.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:11
			So anyway, I went into the line for the food. And a little while later about five minutes later.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:57
			A white woman comes and she waved to me she calls me and when I go there she said I'm going to leave
this table is empty. I I saw you were looking for tables. Please come and sit here. Now here are the
is a is a person who I have never seen she's never seen me. I don't know who she is. I'll more than
likely never see her again. And even if I do see her I don't think I'll remember who she was. But
she's just being good. She's just being nice to me for the sake of being nice. Obviously I thanked
her profusely, but I'm saying that how thankful are we to people who add value to our lives no
matter how small that value might seem to be. So here, a solo seller mentioned this and
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			in the huddle
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:07
			So libido, IV Harada. And in ob sallallahu alayhi wa sallam con la,
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			la, la, la,
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:32
			la, la La yes coronas. Allah. I never said, Oh, whatever the law no reported that also like I said
he has not thanked Allah who has not thanked the people he has not thanked Allah who has not come to
people with some of his aid, or the alarm reports
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:47
			that Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam said, Whoever said jazak Allahu khairan to anyone who has done him
a favor, he has thanked him in the best way and this is until mid May Allah bless my South African
brothers and sisters
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:55
			jazak Allah is something I think the South Africans or South Africans are famous for having made two
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:02
			statements global. One is Jazakallah exact largest retailer.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:19
			In South Africa, even the bigger city, there are people who are begging on the street and if you
give them some money doesn't jacala so everyone is learned digital, and the other one is uma
Mubarak. I don't know where they got digimarc from. But today It seems to have become,
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			you know, global everybody. Somebody asked me to do that.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:35
			I said if you if you consider that to be a religious obligation and do it then maybe it is but so
there's like Alaa and Gamal Mubarak, these are the two
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:49
			contribution of contributions of South African Muslims to the world. And of course, many more of
them are the most generous people in the world man. just mentioning this, you know, jokingly So, as
far as the
		
00:26:51 --> 00:27:13
			question of Jazakallah fairuza mentioning this because we say thank you, we say to Korea, we say to
Quran, you know and so on. So what Why do you say that when you have something which is better,
which is jazak Allah, so say Jazakallah Hellfire and Jazakallah khairan Catherine, you don't have to
know a great deal about me just just saying Jazakallah or jazak Allah.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:46
			May Allah give you the reward and I'll give you the best reward. This is why we selected himself. If
a person says that, then he has tanked in the best way. And this isn't really a Java rodella hana
reports that are soulless, RSM said whoever receives a favor should respond to it right away, if he
can find the one who did the favor. If he cannot find him, then he should praise the one who did the
favor. Actually, by praising him he thanks him. Whoever does not respond to a favor is ungrateful.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:28:26
			Sometimes something may have may be given to you may happen to you. And the person is there
immediately thank the person don't do anything before you sign the person. In the other cases, a
person is not there. You don't know who did that. So talk well about them talk well about those
people talk well about the mentioned this to people, so that people become aware that there are such
good people in the world who are so generous in innovation by I will say the coup de Delano
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam said the one who does not thank people does not give thanks to Allah
subhanho wa Taala either and this is in Dermody and a Buddha
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:32
			in the books of the middle. Now, while homeschooling us, let me assure you that
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:34
			now
		
00:28:36 --> 00:29:21
			he explains they had these two aspects. He says the first one he said the reason of conclusion made
by an advisor seldom is as follows. Humans can give thanks to Allah subhanaw taala, obeying Him and
following his orders strictly. And that is Incidentally, the way to give thanks. The example that I
gave you of using the car to use that car properly in a way that would have pleased the owner of the
car if he had been there is part of being grateful for the favor of being given that car to drive.
In the case of Allah subhanaw taala it's not a question of saying, if he would have been pleased if
he had known because he knows everything. So hard, he says around to lolly humans can give thanks to
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:59
			Allah subhanaw taala by obeying Him and following his orders strictly as one of Allah orders is to
thank people who are a means of delivering and last from Hannover Taylor's bounty to humans, one who
disobeyed this order is considered not to have paid his debt of giving thanks to Allah subhanho wa
Taala for the boons endowed upon and the second point, he says is that one was ungrateful two favors
of people and does not value them does not value thanking them grows the habit of not giving thanks
to Allah subhanaw taala for the bounty, that he jellicle Allahu endow.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:41
			upon us, and he denies it. In the sense Allah. Allah does not accept sugar, which is thanks to Allah
subhanaw taala on its own, which is closely related to the shortcode, which is thanking of people.
Now what can be clearer than this about the importance of thanking people, which in this case has
been equated with thanking Allah, Allah yet which he received. Thank you listeners, all around us,
and especially among Muslims, just monitor our conversations. You ask people about life, you ask
people about, you know, conditions, and so on. Almost the first word out of the mouth is a word of
thankless. It's a word of ingratitude.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			almost invariably, those who are
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:47
			those who don't do that.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:52
			They are blessed, and melasma makers among those who are thankful.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:31:01
			But generally, this seems to be the case. And I have experienced many times where, for example, you
people, email me questions.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:07
			And then that also in language, demands that instant answer.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:28
			Short of threatening me, if you don't answer this question, I will kill you. They don't say that.
But always short of that they have this. And then when I take the trouble and a lot of these
questions are simple things, which if they did their own searching, they would find it. Find the
answer, but they know they will ask me, but if I and when I answer them, they don't even have the
courtesy to say thank you.
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			Right, so what what kind of attitude? I mean, you ask someone and then you
		
00:31:34 --> 00:32:21
			can't even bother to write one single line of thanks for what that person did because of your
instructions. We comment on this in the West when we travel all the time, we find people are
thankful, you know, they thanking bus drivers, doorman, waiters, including tipping them in the
people take tipping extremely seriously, they will tip and they will also see this tip is 10% of the
bill. It's 20% of the bill 15% of the bill. So they don't they don't simply put, you know, a dime on
the table. They do all of this local people here in these Western countries. And we appreciate it.
We when we see this we say you know how nice these people are. And sometimes we are the ones being
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:27
			tanked. So we we enjoy that. But the question is, how much do we do that ourselves?
		
00:32:29 --> 00:33:07
			That's where people want to see Islam they don't want to listen to listen to stories about Islam. My
question also, my brothers and sisters is that how many of us thank Allah subhanaw taala for us all
right. Think about that. How many of us thank Allah subhanaw taala that he gave us Mohammed Salah
Harrison, even though last minute Allah mentioned that as his Nana. He mentioned the fact that he
gave us the result of Salaam as his Nana, how many people thank Allah subhanaw taala for this and
say Alhamdulillah Yara, you gave me Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam as
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:16
			my Imam as my soul and I thank you for this and the way to thank Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:38
			in for giving us Mohammed Salah Salah is in two ways one and both are equally important one is to
follow his Sunnah in everything that we say and do and the way we behave. try our best to follow the
Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, I know nobody's perfect, I know we all make mistakes, no
problem
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:57
			and continue. But thank Allah subhanaw taala for the presence of Mohammed Salah Salam in your life
by following Sonata Mohamed Salah Larissa. And the second way which you must do as much as possible
is to send salatu salam Manasa, lots and lots and lots and lots of growth
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:04
			all the time, especially on Fridays, because that's what's been recommended, but not just on
Fridays, but to
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:18
			keep it to keep your tongue moist with the vicar of Allah and one of the best as God of our life.
Not the best is the road that we send on a sorcerer seller, because that is the Corolla, we are
asking.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:47
			And that is one Victor which also brings upon us 10 times the mercy and 10 times the blessing of
Allah as many times as we send to rouge and Salam on the solar system. So that is right now
Allahumma salli, ala Sayyidina, Muhammad wa ala Muhammad, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Majid along
with barrigada Mohammed, Mohammed
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:50
			Ibrahim Ali born in the Gambia.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:59
			The other thing is also to tango Solo Solo is when we hear the other is too deep.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			In the words of the gun,
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:42
			a lot more about a la, la la la la, la, la la la la la la, la, la La, La La La La repeat after the
demoscene. And then the sorceress Adam said the one who repeats the words of the after the module,
then send Salat and Salam on me. So then after you finish, repeating the words of the margin, then
send rodano sarasa salam, and then make the dua alone might not be housing you down to Tama Osaka,
de Muhammadan rasul Allah, Allah Allah,
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:43
			Allah de la
		
00:35:45 --> 00:36:02
			make desire, asking Allah subhanho wa Taala to give the mahkamah Masha mode and and the greatest
blessing and extrasolar citizen. Now numbers are seldom said the one who does that see the sequence
repeating the words of the other after the moisson then
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:35
			sending the road on Rosaura Salaam and then making the door of the other if you do these three
things, then inshallah inshallah Salaam said then though, for that person shall fight for him,
meaning intercession for that person is watching on me. He said, it is compulsory on me that I will
intercede for that person. So I think these are three ways and of course, maybe more ways to do
that. But the more and more we do, and of course things like for example in
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:40
			those who those of you who can afford to do that, making one
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:42
			one
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45
			Kobani who's here
		
00:36:46 --> 00:37:31
			with the intention that the reward of that should go to a source of solemn This is one way making
Hajj and Umrah for rasulillah salam is another way. I actually recommend this to everybody. If you
once you're finished your fourth Hajj, first Hajj and after that, literally I mean unless you're
doing hedge * battle, which is the hedge for somebody else meaning like a parent or someone if
you are teachers or whatever who could not have done who had who had not done hedge those who could
who are doing the other than that, if you're just doing the second has an attorney and May Allah
give you the opportunity to go to his house again and again. Do all of those Hajj for socialism
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:53
			meaning May God Allah subhanho wa Taala but you're making Godzilla I'm doing such with the Nia that
the Sahaba of this the reward of this should go to prison. Now you will get full reward for it and
because you are giving this reward for salsa Salaam inshallah Allah subhanaw taala will made them
make that Hajj perfect and accepted from you and the reward goes to
		
00:37:54 --> 00:38:40
			sola sola Salaam for the war to placeholder water sources are in a key in accordance with degrees in
Nigeria philosophy my recommendation to you to make all your highs once you're finished the first
one is is yours response so that you can do that for anybody else. But after that do have a bottle
for Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam was fine to do my recommendation do i'm not making a fatwa. There's
not an issue of Allah. So if you like the idea, please do that. ask Allah, Allah to reward you and
to enable us all to be thankful slaves. Ask a lot, be thankful. We have some more to go on this
subject of thanks, inshallah, we'll take we'll look at that in the next session. But let us be
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:44
			thankful saves, because even at the level of
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:46
			you know,
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:50
			self interest, being thankful
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:56
			means that Allah will increase the blessing that he has blessed us with.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59
			Wa salatu salam ala Karim Allah Allahu wa sahbihi
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
