Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
Smilo Hamdulillah. salat wa salam ala Rasulillah.
Loma Linda main fauna one finally my lump Tana, was it no Illman hammerlock Amin?
Ask Allah subhanaw taala teachers would benefit us, benefit us from what he told us and increase us in knowledge. Ask Allah subhanaw taala to bless this gathering,
ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us from the people who
listen and apply.
Ask Allah subhanaw taala to make this gathering a proof with us, not against us on the Day of Judgment shot. I mean,
before we start our new story today, I just want to put like final touches on the
story of the people of the cave was Hubble calf, we finished the class this week, but there was a couple of ideas left and which are the summary of the whole story. So after the they went to the cave,
and they found that all the
people of the cave, they died. So okay Alika
Nevada lie when I sat over here.
So this is a proof to all mankind and specifically to these people that at that time, that Allah subhanaw taala can bring back people to life. This is this is not that hard for Allah Allah says in surah Kahf FYI ina will calculate our Balaam Phillips Hyndman Kengeri any if it's if there is anything that is hard, it will be to create something from scratch not to bring it back to life and creating it from scratches is nothing to me. So Allah subhanaw taala brought them back after 300 and something years and this is a proof that Allah subhanaw taala can do whatever he wants then
call the Lavina available at Emory him there are three then adding him messages are
so
the people that influential people amongst them when they went to see the cave and they saw this great idea, this great sign from Allah that people 300 years were sleeping and then just like that, they said let's build a masjid
on this location
where they died.
Now the Sufis they take this area and they say you see we are allowed to build masajid on the dead and this is the proof
right they use this as a proof but this was the Shatter of the people before us. This does not apply anymore. Like what other example in the Quran
what other example in the Quran does not apply anymore?
Yes, when the when the parents made sure to
use of Alehissalaam right. They came and they made sure that was permitted is it permitted now? No. Similarly that was permitted to build the masjid
at that time, but now it's not permitted. Now it's not permitted to build massage it in the cupboard.
Now what is the we studied many any we derived many lessons from the story of
of us herbal calf but Subhanallah the best lesson and the solution for when you are feeling that things are not going right
around you whether it's in your community or in your country. The solution came at the end was beautiful enough Second Lady
and lady you know whether or not
below that you will i She URI don't Elijah. The solution is be patient with the people who remember Allah subhanaw taala anytime my younger brothers and young sisters anytime you really want the way out to be steadfast on this Deen
spend your time
look for the good company surround yourself by the righteous people. Allah subhanho Starling Rasul Allah insulin was big enough Second, be patient. Stay with these people who always remained during Allah they
nit bill of a dirty well actually what why are they doing that you're doing our job. You're only doing it for the sake of Allah Subhana Allah Tada. So this is this If somebody tells you give me one area that summarize the story or the lesson from the story of his horrible calf, you tell him was big enough second ballerina, that's what they did. They came from separate places and they stay together and Allah subhanaw taala under their story till the day of judgment
time we moved today inshallah Tada to our story.
Because as we know, Surah Katha Korea agreed it has four stories, the story of the people of the cave, the man of the two gardens, Musa and the huddle, and there are nine right now.
That's what I said. I'm told us to read it every Friday. Salah Salem told us to read every Friday. If you look at these four stories, they are the four main fitness in life.
The four fitness and life are represented in the story. The story of the people of the cave, shows us the fitna in
an age
indeed.
Then the story of the man with the two gardens fitna in wealth, the story of Musa and fitna in L, knowledge and the story of the Kernighan
authority.
These are the biggest fitness in life. If you skate if you if you escape one you will find the other right. Either the money or the sole authority or I'm a chef look at me that will destroy you. Or your deen SubhanAllah.
So today is the story of the man with the two gardens. And this is the fitna of of wealth. And we will mention the story a little bit in sha Allah Tala and then we will talk about the lessons just as usual. Allah subhanaw taala said
what the reveal
masala Rajala in Asia and a hottie Hema Jun 18 Min
what half now Huma binnacle where John Boehner houmas
kilton Jun Taney Okona when I'm totally mean who che Wilford Jelena Killa Allahumma Anna Hara? Where can I know who Sam Otto let's stop right here. So, yeah, Muhammad
give them the example. The word you see, when somebody like especially the people who want to attack the deen, they tell you that
Allah said in in the ayah that they always caught
the demand
is allowed to beat his wife and they give you the deleted from the Quran what drew him
beat them, right?
Here, the same verb is used what drip method? Who am I beating here?
Understand, you have to one of the main
foundations of getting this book into your heart is understanding the Arabic language. Here's there's no double here drug means give them an example. What the Blum Mithila Rajang give them the example of tomb and one of them. Allah subhanaw taala when some people like I mentioned go into too much details, what was their names, which country where are where is this to where did this take place? If there was any benefit from this information, Allah would have mentioned it. So we just go with what Allah said, what the biblical methodology Lane give them the example of two men. It was said that one of them is is a poor man, believer and a non believer who was rich by the methodology
line Jalna. I gave one of them the non believer, Jana attain to Jana, Jana is other than the channel that we know in sha Allah may Allah make us all from the people of Jana. Jana in this earth means h garden garden.
garden that is gorgeous, beautiful, and it's full of trees, Jonnie Jana is that trees are that the branches are so the trees are so full of branches that the branches are covering everything around it. It's it's the only dense forest beautiful, beautiful garden. Beautiful, not only one Allah gave him two and look at the architect that Allah described so beautiful.
Jana 10 Min. Arnab full of grapes. He picked the most beautiful
nutritious
luxurious gourmet fruits manana
what have now Houma binnacle Allahu Akbar. There's no plastic, no wood fence. The fence is what?
Palm trees. Now you're in Miami. All palm trees around the two gardens. God is full with fruits specifically and AB and surrounded by palm trees. Allahu Akbar. Is that it? No. Between the two gardens there's a space that space is not empty ugly. No no what your inner Houma and between them, there is also vegetation Zahra, Allahu Akbar.
There's a lot of vegetation in between lot of other fruits, other products in between other produce in between. Allahu Akbar such a beautiful two gardens.
Can you tell Jana Taney that Aquila?
What does that mean both gardens at that Akula who's going to tell me what does it mean
produced to the max. Yanni we should know there is one tree this year is not going to do good. Or there's some trees you have to take some fruits and throw them in the garbage. No, no No at all cola both gardens, every tree every anything inside has produced to the max Allahu Akbar. Allah is showing us the nightmare that this man was in that Aquila
well I'm lovely minutiae did not miss anything.
Now what is the the major problem when you have such a beautiful garden?
What's your main worry? Water? You have a huge two huge gardens. Where are you going to get water from? No no no don't worry. What's a Jelena Phil
and he ran Allah ran the river in between this river you don't have to have workers dig from here direct here put this Nope nothing. There's a river running through taking care of all the watering Allah workable Is there anything better than that?
Look at this description.
Imagine beautiful tree a beautiful garden full of trees full of fruits and then surrounded a huge surrounded by all palm trees and the river running through and vegetation everywhere Subhan Allah what a noun.
Now keep in mind this is a story that has eczema behind it Allah is not telling us about how do we do agriculture here there's a story behind it right?
Well Can Allah who somehow
forgot that he saw he be he will have a you have
an external vincom island but as
luck was
one of the ships that something beautiful he said well can allow summer even though it means here that there is a lot of summer the same summer fruit Yeah. The fruits. He said as if this is the time of harvest. He took him he wants to show off come so he came on the time when everything is finally ready to be picked. Okay. What can allow someone Takada Lisa had it so the one who's talking now is who
is who? The owner of the two gardens, the rich one. So he took the poor one was the believer. And he told him let's go to the garden.
What can Allah Who summer Faqad le Sahibi?
Can a believer be a friend with an unbeliever or any Sahibi
Sahib means friend, right?
Can a believer be friends with non believer? Yes. Obviously called Ali Sahibi. Again, we're going to hear again, the other one told him also called them side. Now that means I'm allowed to have non Muslim friends but
if I ever feel they can affect my Deen away
I don't need them.
And plus, my intention from the beginning of the saga of the friendship is to try to save them because I'm calling them Sahib. Sahib. Right Sahaba companions so I'm calling him Sahib, if I really care about him, I really want to save him. That's my main goal. Aim of that friendship.
But not like Allah is drinking because he's my friend. I sit with him and we drink or he drinks. You're not allowed to sit on a table where drinking is taking place. But if our brothers you know, brother
A lunch, what do you call it?
When they call them for the Office meeting and they sit down and there is a break, especially around the holidays, and they go, and they start drinking? No, I'm sorry. I can't.
I can't. Let's go to a haram place. No, not at all. Because he's my friend. I'm trying to give him Dawa and the disco. No, no doubt we're in the disco hobby.
So you can be his friend with the intention to bring him to the dean. And
there was a study that says, I don't know how authentic it is. But it says 80% of the people who took shahada
is because of actions of their friends, their Muslim friends
call any Sahibi here. Well, how are you how What does you have it Amin? What does he do our
Victor have our
dialogue back and forth. And they were talking to each other. When I say that I'm having QR with you. It means I'm saying something and you're replying if you did not reply is not a code word from one side only. Now there's a dialogue going on outside. Whoa, you have now the ritual is talking. He said Anna Lockwood Kemet, Anna the word Anna by itself. You have to be very careful. Anna Anna, who said
who said Anna in the Quran which was very bad for around Anna, Rob book and will Anna.
Anna, so good to be careful when other people say especially the Adam, and I haven't already said it.
Anna tried to cut down from the word enter any of course does not mean always that you are arrogant, but it could have some arrogance in it.
And then actual roaming Camelon
no matter how sweet you want to make the statement is arrogance all over it.
I have more money, more wealth more property than you than you were Adzuna for Farah and Nina Farah, it could mean some people said that he has a lot of family members and children grandchildren or it could be the entourage around him a lot of bodyguards a lot of helpers lot of servants lot of I have more than you way more than you
come let me show you what I have. Let me show you these gardens bahala janitor
well who was on him only enough see?
And he took him and he entered to this one of the genders Well, volume only enough see any because of that arrogance he has committed
against himself
because of Salah Salem told us Yeah, when a mustard seed of Kibera Mustard Seed
of arrogance in your heart you will not smell Jana
so how about the extra Roman command and were asked for the money? The money was the right people supposed to either make them very arrogant. I mean the money with people in general either makes them very arrogant or it humbled them so much. Yeah, I mean, I when you see somebody donating and helping them a surgeon and helping the Islamic schools and helping the dean in general or helping the poor in general
in your heart, your Allah
you know, if I have the same Wallahi I do the same Yama and you know better you know, you know, you know the best
you are the own knowing you know your Allah if I have that money, like this guy, you know, your Allah I would give
like him or maybe more.
Yeah, one, make that intention, your heart. Allah Azza wa sallam said at dunya the ERVA Tina Farah dunya. In dunya. There are four kinds of people. I don't want to go away a lot, but one of them is a man whom ALLAH SubhanA wa Tala gave him a knowledge and wealth. And he's spending it left and right is Allah. The second guy is a man who has has no wealth. And he said, Ya Allah, if I have the wealth, I would do the same. Like this guy. For Hoonah Phil agilus Allahu Akbar. So they have the same reward. He did not spend the penny this guy. They have the same reward. And another guy
has no has money with no element. And he's spending it in the Haram. He's spending it in the Haram and the last guy which is the worst guy, he has no money and no wealth. And he looked at the third guy, and he said if I have the money, I would do the same like the Haram guy, for whom I filled wisdom.
There
have the same sin this guy did not go to Vegas did not bet did not play anything. The same just because he made the intention ya Allah if I have the money, Vegas
Yama if I had the money, I'm gonna get drunk
he did not even smell the alcohol because his intention was ALLAH knows that he is going to do that the same sin
so when we see someone
helping and supporting the massage yeah when we should support them, even if we cannot do anything to him at least ask Allah to give him Baraka
well the halogen Netta who were volumen enough See, now he started making the mistakes, con
now of unknown to be the heavy
first mistake
what but as to be the mean
destroyed? I don't think I know for a fact no way that this garden, all these trees, what is going to destroy this no way this will be destroyed no way other than other than you know when Allah say carne de Nephi Aveda, he said, this will never ever be destroyed. Not only that, he did not stop here he made the worst sin
when I have
to call him
and there is no there is nothing called Day of Judgment.
There is nothing called Day of Judgment. The minute someone say there is nothing called day of judgment he is
Catherine. Right. Catherine
that can the pillars of iman what are the pillars of humanity?
Believe in Allah, angels, books, prophets, they have judgment and I'll cover will cover right so one of the beliefs one of their can or can pillars of Eman is believing in the day of judgment if you skipped one of them you're out
So here he's out. Man I don't know sad to call him I don't think there's a day of judgment.
Like sometimes some people say you know even if you're you know when they sit with the non Muslim even if your religion is true
Hamdulillah I did not hurt anybody or I did is pray only. So even if your if your religion is true. I will go to Shana also.
Is that okay to say? No. Why?
Because that means you have
doubt when you say even if your religion is true to any non Muslim wherever his religion is, the minute you say that, that means you have doubt that may be 0.00001% Islam is not right.
That means you're out
where Bill here at home
you can own
Allah was talking about the believers that he said Bill AF era the Day of Judgment, not the moon
that you mean only even your teen own they have no doubt they have your cane that there is
so the minute you say maybe yes maybe you know you Allah if the Jews go to Jana, we will go with them because we believe in Musa if the Christians go to Jana, we will go with them because we are believing isa but both of them they're not gonna go to Jana because they don't believe in Muhammad.
No, you should not have a 1% of doubt that this deen is right. In Dena and Allah Islam into finish exactly the issue. It's not a joke. This is our freedom. Gene and Allah and Islam mama yep telling Rachel Islam dienen Fela yolk Bella Mina within accurate and accurate it ah you know Carson
Okay, I will finish with this we'll continue with next week. So when I say
and I don't think that is something or the hour, the code the hour, no no day of judgment.
And even if there is weather eroded to be lethargy, then higher on men, hammam Cordova, even if I even if there is the objection, let's assume and believe you and say that there is a day of judgment.
I will find better than this garden
another misconception that a lot of brothers have if Allah does not love me, he would have never given me all this stuff.
Right? He will never given me the
Business this car this big house this $1 million. He loves me.
That is not always true. It could be true, but it's not always true. It's not necessarily true.
Right? Why?
Because the Solar System said,
Allah gives dunya to the one he loves and to the one he does not love, but he only gives the euro to the ones he love Allah, Masha, Lebanon
where it's from,
was found
in *, right? You have any doubt? No. Did he have any money?
He owned Egypt.
So he was very rich. So being rich, and being blessed with so many things, that does not necessarily mean that Allah loves you.
Oh brother hamdulillah ALLAH blessed me now. I used to have five liquor stores now have seven.
If he doesn't love me, I would have never had seven liquor stores
Habibi
Southern Home Theater, he and him Yama Hoon? No, no, this is not the way it works. So this man said, Even if I go back to Allah
I will find something better look at the arrogance. Yeah, and yeah 100% Guaranteed Janna in his pocket, when they are ready to be that he didn't know how you run not the same better than this.
Or that you saw him
Why were you
I will finish with that I'll finish with this answer. Now the
poor believer stoking
God alongside him who Allah you have
a comforter?
Because in dunya you are one of two
either caffeine or a sheriff
in Nashua Karen, what a man Cateura here, here kufr does not mean kufr disbelief. The opposite of Shachar is Kaffir which means ungrateful. So, people on Earth is the shortcut, which he will be
he is thankful and he will be appreciated and increased
than Shakuntala as he then I will increase you are careful. He could be increased, but he will be punished
by the level so who are comfortable let the Halacha come in to rob from memory not far from Mr. Worker. Rajala
Have you made How could you look at this beautiful gardens look at the beautiful rivers look at this fruits everywhere. Look at the snuffer around you all these people are comfortable. Let the Halacha coming to rob. You will create it from to rob from nothing from dust. Some of them in noxa
some muscle Wacka Raja, then you became a man and he gave you all these properties and all this wealth. How could you disbelieve?
How could you disbelieve? How could you be ungrateful with all these Nam thinking that I because of my degree because of my father because of my knowledge because of my sweat. Because of this? I'm the one who established all this.
And I saw me
we use this a lot in the Arab world. He built himself by himself. That does not mean no no, we support the people to go and struggle and be ambitious. But don't ever say that this is because of me. Nobody helped me what I mean nobody helped you, Allah you cannot move a finger without his permission.
You cannot earn a penny without his permission a penny penny without his permission.
This is Aqeedah issues, we have to believe in that. So inshallah Tada we want to take long we will continue to be in the latter part of the story of the two garden and with the two gardens and inshallah Tada. We will derive some more lessons be in the lab and I will be giving the hotbar tomorrow inshallah so I will, I will see you tomorrow, unlocker Baraka Africa. I want to see you all I want everybody before you leave.
What time is measured?
