00:00:00 -->
00:00:02
Mercy on him and give his family the
00:00:02 -->
00:00:03
patience.
00:00:05 -->
00:00:07
Also, our regular Musali brother, Sameer Tarda,
00:00:08 -->
00:00:09
his brother
00:00:09 -->
00:00:12
is having a brain procedure. He asked for
00:00:12 -->
00:00:13
dua that Allah
00:00:14 -->
00:00:15
will make it successful.
00:05:39 -->
00:05:42
My dear beloved respected brothers and sisters, I
00:05:42 -->
00:05:43
ask Allah
00:05:44 -->
00:05:45
who gathered us in this masjid
00:05:46 -->
00:05:46
together.
00:05:54 -->
00:05:55
Sudan,
00:06:03 -->
00:06:03
Yemen,
00:06:05 -->
00:06:06
Kashmir,
00:06:08 -->
00:06:09
China,
00:06:11 -->
00:06:11
Lebanon,
00:06:13 -->
00:06:13
Syria,
00:06:15 -->
00:06:16
and now Bangladesh.
00:06:18 -->
00:06:19
And the list goes on.
00:06:21 -->
00:06:21
Question
00:06:24 -->
00:06:25
that is
00:06:28 -->
00:06:30
on every believer's mind,
00:06:31 -->
00:06:31
when
00:06:32 -->
00:06:33
will the Umma
00:06:34 -->
00:06:35
find
00:06:35 -->
00:06:36
relief?
00:06:39 -->
00:06:40
To answer this question,
00:06:42 -->
00:06:44
we will discuss a concept
00:06:45 -->
00:06:46
that is called
00:06:47 -->
00:06:48
the critical
00:06:49 -->
00:06:50
limit.
00:06:51 -->
00:06:51
Critical
00:06:52 -->
00:06:53
limit.
00:06:55 -->
00:06:55
This concept
00:06:56 -->
00:06:57
is usually used
00:06:58 -->
00:06:58
in physics
00:07:00 -->
00:07:01
and in chemistry.
00:07:02 -->
00:07:03
It represents
00:07:03 -->
00:07:04
a threshold.
00:07:06 -->
00:07:08
When that threshold is crossed,
00:07:09 -->
00:07:10
it can cause
00:07:11 -->
00:07:11
hazardous
00:07:12 -->
00:07:12
situations.
00:07:16 -->
00:07:18
In this khutbah, we will go beyond
00:07:18 -->
00:07:21
this concept and merge it with an Islamic
00:07:22 -->
00:07:24
concept called alaynaal
00:07:26 -->
00:07:26
divine
00:07:27 -->
00:07:28
care.
00:07:30 -->
00:07:33
There's no better way to explain or to
00:07:33 -->
00:07:33
merge
00:07:36 -->
00:07:37
these two concepts than studying
00:07:38 -->
00:07:39
the story
00:07:41 -->
00:07:42
of Musa, alayhis salam,
00:07:45 -->
00:07:48
in the Quran. Every time
00:07:48 -->
00:07:50
that Musa alayhis salam
00:07:51 -->
00:07:52
reached
00:07:53 -->
00:07:54
the critical
00:07:55 -->
00:07:55
limit.
00:07:57 -->
00:07:58
In other words,
00:07:59 -->
00:08:02
the brink of human endurance,
00:08:03 -->
00:08:05
divine care
00:08:06 -->
00:08:06
would descend.
00:08:10 -->
00:08:12
We all know the story that Faraun had
00:08:12 -->
00:08:13
a dream,
00:08:15 -->
00:08:17
and when he got the interpretation of that
00:08:17 -->
00:08:18
dream,
00:08:18 -->
00:08:19
they told him
00:08:20 -->
00:08:21
that a young boy
00:08:22 -->
00:08:23
from the children of Israel
00:08:27 -->
00:08:29
will dismantle your kingdom.
00:08:31 -->
00:08:31
So
00:08:31 -->
00:08:32
he ordered
00:08:33 -->
00:08:36
for every newborn boy to be slaughtered.
00:08:38 -->
00:08:39
And then when he found out
00:08:41 -->
00:08:41
that the workforce,
00:08:44 -->
00:08:46
the males are decreasing,
00:08:47 -->
00:08:49
He decided to alternate.
00:08:49 -->
00:08:52
1 year he slaughters, and 1 year
00:08:52 -->
00:08:54
he keeps the male
00:08:54 -->
00:08:55
boys alive,
00:08:56 -->
00:08:57
male children alive.
00:09:02 -->
00:09:04
In the year where he slaughtered kids, that's
00:09:04 -->
00:09:08
the year where Musa, alayhis salaam, was born.
00:09:13 -->
00:09:15
Musa alaihis salam,
00:09:16 -->
00:09:18
his mother delivered him.
00:09:19 -->
00:09:20
Frown
00:09:22 -->
00:09:22
soldiers
00:09:24 -->
00:09:26
are on their way
00:09:28 -->
00:09:29
to carry
00:09:31 -->
00:09:32
out the brutal order.
00:09:37 -->
00:09:39
Now this is Musa alaihis salam's
00:09:40 -->
00:09:40
first
00:09:41 -->
00:09:41
critical
00:09:42 -->
00:09:43
limit.
00:09:45 -->
00:09:47
He was about to be slaughtered.
00:09:48 -->
00:09:49
What happened?
00:09:51 -->
00:09:52
Allah subhanahu
00:09:52 -->
00:09:53
wa ta'ala
00:09:54 -->
00:09:54
inspired
00:09:55 -->
00:09:55
Musa's
00:09:56 -->
00:09:56
mother.
00:10:03 -->
00:10:05
When you fear
00:10:06 -->
00:10:07
for him,
00:10:08 -->
00:10:09
cast him
00:10:10 -->
00:10:10
in the
00:10:12 -->
00:10:12
river.
00:10:13 -->
00:10:14
Her immense
00:10:14 -->
00:10:16
iman and
00:10:19 -->
00:10:20
surpassed her
00:10:22 -->
00:10:22
instinct.
00:10:24 -->
00:10:26
So she put him in the river
00:10:28 -->
00:10:28
and
00:10:29 -->
00:10:30
entrusted him
00:10:31 -->
00:10:32
to the divine
00:10:32 -->
00:10:33
care.
00:10:36 -->
00:10:38
So the first critical limit
00:10:39 -->
00:10:40
when
00:10:41 -->
00:10:44
Musa, alayhis salaam, was to be killed,
00:10:45 -->
00:10:46
the divine care
00:10:46 -->
00:10:47
descended,
00:10:48 -->
00:10:50
and the order was given to his mother
00:10:51 -->
00:10:52
to throw him in the river.
00:10:53 -->
00:10:55
2nd critical limit.
00:11:07 -->
00:11:09
And the heart of the mother of Musa
00:11:09 -->
00:11:10
became
00:11:12 -->
00:11:14
empty. She was very near
00:11:16 -->
00:11:17
to disclose
00:11:18 -->
00:11:20
the identity of Musa.
00:11:21 -->
00:11:24
She was about to scream and say, this
00:11:24 -->
00:11:25
is my son,
00:11:27 -->
00:11:28
which would have ruined everything.
00:11:30 -->
00:11:32
The second critical limit,
00:11:32 -->
00:11:35
Musa's mom reached a point that she cannot
00:11:35 -->
00:11:36
take it anymore
00:11:37 -->
00:11:38
to be separated
00:11:39 -->
00:11:40
from her son.
00:11:42 -->
00:11:44
Now the divine
00:11:44 -->
00:11:45
intervention
00:11:45 -->
00:11:46
is expected.
00:11:55 -->
00:11:56
The divine care
00:11:57 -->
00:11:58
came down
00:11:58 -->
00:11:59
and Allah
00:12:01 -->
00:12:01
said,
00:12:02 -->
00:12:02
we strengthened
00:12:04 -->
00:12:04
her heart
00:12:05 -->
00:12:06
so she can remain
00:12:07 -->
00:12:08
from the believers
00:12:09 -->
00:12:09
in Allah's
00:12:10 -->
00:12:10
promise.
00:12:14 -->
00:12:16
3rd critical limit,
00:12:18 -->
00:12:19
The basket
00:12:20 -->
00:12:20
literally
00:12:21 -->
00:12:22
landed in the backyard
00:12:23 -->
00:12:23
of
00:12:23 -->
00:12:24
Faraun.
00:12:27 -->
00:12:28
The guards
00:12:29 -->
00:12:30
found the baby.
00:12:31 -->
00:12:32
It's time
00:12:33 -->
00:12:35
to fulfill the order
00:12:35 -->
00:12:36
to kill the baby.
00:12:38 -->
00:12:40
That is the next critical limit.
00:12:43 -->
00:12:47
What is the divine care now? Allah subhanahu
00:12:47 -->
00:12:48
wa ta'ala said,
00:12:54 -->
00:12:58
And I bestowed upon you love from me.
00:12:58 -->
00:12:59
As a result,
00:13:05 -->
00:13:08
The moment Faraun's wife saw the baby,
00:13:09 -->
00:13:11
she fell in love with him,
00:13:12 -->
00:13:13
and she persuaded
00:13:14 -->
00:13:14
Faraun
00:13:15 -->
00:13:16
to keep him.
00:13:20 -->
00:13:22
The 4th critical limit,
00:13:24 -->
00:13:26
the baby is starving.
00:13:29 -->
00:13:31
The baby is starving,
00:13:34 -->
00:13:35
and
00:13:36 -->
00:13:37
each
00:13:38 -->
00:13:40
attempt to feed him failed.
00:13:41 -->
00:13:41
They
00:13:42 -->
00:13:45
looked around for all nursing moms.
00:13:50 -->
00:13:51
He refused
00:13:52 -->
00:13:53
every single one of them.
00:13:54 -->
00:13:56
That is a major
00:13:56 -->
00:13:58
critical limit.
00:13:58 -->
00:14:01
The baby is starving and about to die.
00:14:01 -->
00:14:02
He needs
00:14:02 -->
00:14:03
food.
00:14:03 -->
00:14:04
He needs
00:14:06 -->
00:14:07
to be nourished.
00:14:09 -->
00:14:10
And the divine
00:14:10 -->
00:14:12
care came down
00:14:13 -->
00:14:14
when his sister
00:14:15 -->
00:14:16
went and
00:14:19 -->
00:14:20
said,
00:14:25 -->
00:14:27
And his sister went around and said,
00:14:29 -->
00:14:30
shall I direct you
00:14:33 -->
00:14:34
to someone
00:14:34 -->
00:14:36
who will take care
00:14:37 -->
00:14:39
of this young boy and feed him?
00:14:42 -->
00:14:43
The divine care
00:14:48 -->
00:14:49
We brought him back.
00:14:50 -->
00:14:50
We returned
00:14:51 -->
00:14:53
him to his mother.
00:14:54 -->
00:14:54
And
00:14:58 -->
00:15:01
this critical limit and divine care
00:15:01 -->
00:15:02
continues
00:15:03 -->
00:15:06
in Musa alaihi salam's life.
00:15:08 -->
00:15:11
When he sat under the tree and he
00:15:11 -->
00:15:13
has no house, no
00:15:14 -->
00:15:16
wife, no food, no shelter,
00:15:17 -->
00:15:19
no money. And he said
00:15:25 -->
00:15:26
He begged Allah
00:15:26 -->
00:15:30
It was a critical limit. And Allah subhanahu
00:15:30 -->
00:15:33
wa ta'ala sent one of the daughters to
00:15:33 -->
00:15:36
ask him to come meet her father and
00:15:36 -->
00:15:37
we know the rest of it.
00:15:38 -->
00:15:39
My brothers
00:15:42 -->
00:15:43
and sisters,
00:15:43 -->
00:15:43
subhanAllah,
00:15:44 -->
00:15:45
the child
00:15:46 -->
00:15:47
that frown
00:15:48 -->
00:15:49
did everything possible
00:15:50 -->
00:15:51
to eliminate
00:15:52 -->
00:15:53
Not only he
00:15:55 -->
00:15:55
survived,
00:15:56 -->
00:15:57
frown
00:15:58 -->
00:15:59
was paying money
00:16:00 -->
00:16:02
for his mother to
00:16:05 -->
00:16:05
feed.
00:16:09 -->
00:16:10
As we have seen, this
00:16:12 -->
00:16:15
is just the story of Musa, alaihis salam.
00:16:18 -->
00:16:19
And this concept
00:16:20 -->
00:16:21
continues in all
00:16:22 -->
00:16:22
our life.
00:16:23 -->
00:16:24
Whenever
00:16:24 -->
00:16:27
we reach our critical limit,
00:16:28 -->
00:16:28
expect
00:16:30 -->
00:16:31
the divine
00:16:31 -->
00:16:32
intervention.
00:16:53 -->
00:16:53
He sent
00:16:54 -->
00:16:56
a pre war message
00:16:57 -->
00:16:59
to Saad Mun Abu Waqqas.
00:17:00 -->
00:17:01
It's a little bit long. I just wanna
00:17:01 -->
00:17:03
get the shahid from it.
00:17:04 -->
00:17:04
He said,
00:17:05 -->
00:17:08
I command you and your soldiers
00:17:11 -->
00:17:12
to worry
00:17:12 -->
00:17:15
more about your sins than your enemy.
00:17:18 -->
00:17:21
I command you and your soldiers, he's not
00:17:21 -->
00:17:23
telling him take this technique,
00:17:23 -->
00:17:25
do this tactic
00:17:26 -->
00:17:28
to win the war. No, no, no. I
00:17:28 -->
00:17:29
command you
00:17:30 -->
00:17:31
and your soldiers
00:17:31 -->
00:17:33
to worry about your sins
00:17:33 -->
00:17:35
more than you worry about the enemy.
00:17:38 -->
00:17:40
Because Muslims are victorious,
00:17:41 -->
00:17:42
because their enemies
00:17:43 -->
00:17:43
are disobedient
00:17:44 -->
00:17:45
to Allah, azzawajal.
00:17:46 -->
00:17:48
And if we equate them in sins,
00:17:48 -->
00:17:49
then
00:17:49 -->
00:17:52
they have the advantage to defeat us because
00:17:53 -->
00:17:54
they
00:17:54 -->
00:17:56
overnumber us, outnumber us
00:17:57 -->
00:17:58
with soldiers
00:17:58 -->
00:17:59
and weapons.
00:18:01 -->
00:18:03
If we are equal in sins,
00:18:03 -->
00:18:05
then they will win
00:18:05 -->
00:18:06
because they have more weapons
00:18:07 -->
00:18:08
and more
00:18:08 -->
00:18:09
soldiers.
00:18:10 -->
00:18:11
In other words,
00:18:15 -->
00:18:16
you
00:18:17 -->
00:18:19
have reached your critical limit.
00:18:20 -->
00:18:20
Beware
00:18:21 -->
00:18:22
of doing something
00:18:22 -->
00:18:24
that either will delay
00:18:25 -->
00:18:26
or
00:18:28 -->
00:18:30
make the divine care
00:18:31 -->
00:18:32
disappear.
00:18:34 -->
00:18:34
So
00:18:39 -->
00:18:41
for the brothers and sisters
00:18:41 -->
00:18:43
that have chronic pain,
00:18:47 -->
00:18:49
for the brothers and sisters
00:18:49 -->
00:18:50
that have financial
00:18:51 -->
00:18:51
hardship,
00:18:54 -->
00:18:56
For the spouses that are
00:18:56 -->
00:18:58
facing marital problems,
00:19:03 -->
00:19:03
Watch
00:19:04 -->
00:19:05
your sins.
00:19:07 -->
00:19:08
Watch
00:19:08 -->
00:19:09
your sins.
00:19:11 -->
00:19:14
Every single one of us can apply this
00:19:14 -->
00:19:16
concept to their life.
00:19:16 -->
00:19:18
Watch your sins.
00:19:19 -->
00:19:21
Watch your delay
00:19:22 -->
00:19:24
and neglecting the salawat.
00:19:25 -->
00:19:27
Watch your neglect of the hijab.
00:19:27 -->
00:19:29
Watch your dealing with riba.
00:19:30 -->
00:19:32
Watch your disobedience to the parents.
00:19:35 -->
00:19:37
I had a couple the other day asking
00:19:37 -->
00:19:39
me, they're having a lot of issues, and
00:19:40 -->
00:19:42
they said we love each other.
00:19:42 -->
00:19:44
We care so much about each other
00:19:46 -->
00:19:47
and we have no clue.
00:19:49 -->
00:19:51
Where is this coming from?
00:19:53 -->
00:19:55
Argument. Constant argument.
00:19:56 -->
00:19:58
And they started each one explaining
00:19:58 -->
00:20:00
what the other is doing.
00:20:00 -->
00:20:01
And I'm listening.
00:20:03 -->
00:20:04
And then I said,
00:20:06 -->
00:20:09
my brother, you're gonna be surprised
00:20:10 -->
00:20:11
from my question because
00:20:12 -->
00:20:13
most of the people,
00:20:13 -->
00:20:16
especially the couples, when they come to counseling,
00:20:16 -->
00:20:17
they expect
00:20:17 -->
00:20:18
that the counselor
00:20:19 -->
00:20:22
has a magic wand, he will hit it,
00:20:22 -->
00:20:24
and everybody will get up and start kissing
00:20:24 -->
00:20:24
each other.
00:20:27 -->
00:20:28
So I told him, you're gonna be surprised
00:20:28 -->
00:20:29
with my question.
00:20:31 -->
00:20:33
Do you deal with riba?
00:20:33 -->
00:20:34
He said yes.
00:20:35 -->
00:20:37
I said okay. Let's start from here.
00:20:38 -->
00:20:39
You have declared
00:20:40 -->
00:20:40
war
00:20:42 -->
00:20:44
you have declared war
00:20:44 -->
00:20:46
on the source of solution.
00:20:50 -->
00:20:51
You have declared war
00:20:51 -->
00:20:54
on the one you're asking for peace.
00:20:56 -->
00:20:57
How's your salat?
00:20:58 -->
00:21:00
3 out of 5. 3 out of 5.
00:21:01 -->
00:21:03
Rasulullah, like, but wow you my brother.
00:21:04 -->
00:21:06
3 out of 5, that is your deen.
00:21:06 -->
00:21:08
5 out of 5 is Islam
00:21:09 -->
00:21:10
on time.
00:21:12 -->
00:21:13
Check this one too.
00:21:14 -->
00:21:15
So
00:21:16 -->
00:21:19
if you are wondering why the divine care
00:21:19 -->
00:21:21
did not come yet while you have
00:21:21 -->
00:21:22
reached
00:21:22 -->
00:21:24
the critical limit,
00:21:24 -->
00:21:25
check your sins.
00:21:29 -->
00:21:31
Just like Umar, the wise,
00:21:32 -->
00:21:34
he told Sadmab, you're a curse. SubhanAllah, I
00:21:34 -->
00:21:37
was I was amazed. You know, when you
00:21:37 -->
00:21:39
when you, send a message to your
00:21:40 -->
00:21:41
general
00:21:42 -->
00:21:44
of the army, you tell them, okay, go
00:21:44 -->
00:21:44
this, do this,
00:21:45 -->
00:21:47
attack before morning.
00:21:48 -->
00:21:50
Watch your sins.
00:21:54 -->
00:21:54
So
00:21:55 -->
00:21:56
let's go back
00:21:58 -->
00:21:59
to the question we posted in the beginning
00:21:59 -->
00:22:00
of the khutbah.
00:22:03 -->
00:22:05
When will the Umma
00:22:05 -->
00:22:06
find
00:22:08 -->
00:22:08
relief?
00:22:15 -->
00:22:16
Oh, people of Gaza.
00:22:22 -->
00:22:24
The Zionist project is crumbling.
00:22:27 -->
00:22:30
The Zionist project is crumbling
00:22:32 -->
00:22:35
and the Ummah has reached its critical
00:22:37 -->
00:22:38
limit. So expect
00:22:40 -->
00:22:41
the divine care
00:22:42 -->
00:22:43
very very soon.
00:22:47 -->
00:22:49
My brothers and sisters from the rest of
00:22:49 -->
00:22:51
the countries, especially Bangladesh,
00:22:53 -->
00:22:53
The secularism
00:22:54 -->
00:22:55
will fail
00:22:56 -->
00:22:58
and the dean of Allah will prevail.
00:23:00 -->
00:23:02
This deen will be victorious.
00:23:03 -->
00:23:06
Every shahid that is going anywhere in the
00:23:06 -->
00:23:06
Muslim world
00:23:07 -->
00:23:09
is not going to waste.
00:23:09 -->
00:23:11
But me and you
00:23:11 -->
00:23:13
cannot belittle
00:23:14 -->
00:23:15
the sins that we are committing.
00:23:17 -->
00:23:18
Many times
00:23:18 -->
00:23:19
we tell each other,
00:23:20 -->
00:23:22
really? If I stop the sins,
00:23:23 -->
00:23:24
that will affect Gaza?
00:23:26 -->
00:23:29
Because if you did and she did and
00:23:29 -->
00:23:30
we all did,
00:23:31 -->
00:23:31
then
00:23:33 -->
00:23:34
the divine
00:23:34 -->
00:23:35
intervention
00:23:36 -->
00:23:37
will take place
00:23:37 -->
00:23:37
as
00:23:38 -->
00:23:39
promised.
00:23:39 -->
00:23:42
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, and I will
00:23:42 -->
00:23:43
end with this.
00:23:43 -->
00:23:46
This whole concept we discussed in the Khutbah
00:23:47 -->
00:23:48
is in the last page
00:23:49 -->
00:23:50
of Surat Yusuf
00:23:51 -->
00:23:51
Alaihi Salam.
00:24:04 -->
00:24:05
And when
00:24:05 -->
00:24:06
the messengers
00:24:08 -->
00:24:09
despair
00:24:10 -->
00:24:11
And
00:24:11 -->
00:24:12
they knew,
00:24:14 -->
00:24:14
they were certain
00:24:15 -->
00:24:17
that they were denied.
00:24:17 -->
00:24:18
They were called
00:24:19 -->
00:24:19
liars.
00:24:20 -->
00:24:21
What happened?
00:24:25 -->
00:24:26
Our victory
00:24:27 -->
00:24:28
came to them.
00:26:04 -->
00:26:05
Please come from the hallway to the main
00:26:05 -->
00:26:06
hall.
00:26:06 -->
00:26:07
Look down. Make sure
00:26:08 -->
00:26:10
your heels are on the line.
00:26:11 -->
00:26:13
Foot to foot, shoulder to shoulder. Please, sisters,
00:26:13 -->
00:26:14
do the same.
00:26:24 -->
00:26:25
Please, brothers on the back, make sure you
00:26:25 -->
00:26:26
close the gaps.
00:26:27 -->
00:26:29
When we leave, sometimes we we see a
00:26:29 -->
00:26:32
brother praying and making his own line.
00:26:32 -->
00:26:35
Anytime you make your own line while there's
00:26:35 -->
00:26:36
a space
00:26:36 -->
00:26:38
in the line in front of you. Your
00:26:38 -->
00:26:40
salat is bottled.
00:26:40 -->
00:26:42
Your salat is not valid. This is what
00:26:42 -->
00:26:45
our Rasool, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, told us. So
00:26:45 -->
00:26:47
please make sure you close the gaps. And
00:26:47 -->
00:26:48
if there's a gap in front of you,
00:26:48 -->
00:26:50
make sure you fill it.
00:33:36 -->
00:33:38
Please, on your way out, be generous and
00:33:38 -->
00:33:41
donate and support the masjid. We all know
00:33:42 -->
00:33:43
the masjid operates on your donations.
