00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			Soho Sunday
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			idea
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:35
			of selling
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			on ebay babies
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			may
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:43
			or may
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			not be enough
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			with
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			a cooler
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			cooler,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			cooler now. Yeah.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			Yeah. As
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			a follow up
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			follow
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			me
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			in number How can I make more people
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			you select
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			polyamorous prospective sisters
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			I reminded myself
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			of one of the most important
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:57
			aspects
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			of this relationship that we have had with Allah.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			And that is
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			to have a couple of allies origin present
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			in everything that we do
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			and every
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			statement that we are
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			with every action
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			that we initiate
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:30
			and with every reaction that comes as a response to anything accomplices,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			let's all remember the funeral What is
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			this all be mindful of.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			And watch every action that we do.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			Pay attention to every word that we utter,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			for everything that we do or say,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			better be pleasing, because
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:57
			otherwise,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			we are going to have to answer to that action, that statement
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			on the day where everything must be in the open
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:15
			on a day where you won't be able to hide your intentions.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			And you won't be able to hide
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:23
			yourself agenda. And you won't be able to conceal
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:31
			the purpose for which you do anything that you do on a day where you're going to be exposed.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:48
			And opossum handled with data will ask you about everything that you did everything that you've
said. So let's prepare ourselves for that day. And let's fear Allah subhana wa tada and fear that
standard that we will have before along
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			with human lives even
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			fear young
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			brothers and sisters, someone asked me
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			about my reaction
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			to those phenomenons that have become very common,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			especially here in California.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			What was
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			my reaction
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			to the so called wildfires that we had?
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			And we continue to have.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:37
			And in the news yesterday, they were saying, again, they were saying that probably today or tomorrow
we're going to have another red flag
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			in many of those areas.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:52
			And while I was contemplating on a proper answer to that question, I get a phone call from Northern
California
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			that
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			there was an earthquake that struck
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			That area
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			506.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:26
			And it happened that my mother is visiting my sister in law area. So she called, I'm talking to her
trying to calm down. Because she's panicking. She said, you gotta seem to be so used to this, and
I'm taking this lightly. She was terrified by the whole experience, which lasted a few seconds.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:39
			But we are so used to it. So I didn't really think much of it. Then I had to sit with myself and
think, wait a minute, what is happening to us?
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			What is happening to us?
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:50
			Why are we losing our sensitivity? Why are we careless? Why are we acting in a fashion
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			that reflects that we've got nothing to do
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			with this trend?
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			of those kinds of disasters
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			being so repetitive,
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			happening more frequently than ever before.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:18
			a firearm in the south, the earthquake in the north? And along the island, what is happening in
between?
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			Do we have anything to do with it?
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:29
			Then another question comes. While I was contemplating on that first question,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:35
			have anything to do with global warming? So I said,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			I will leave that
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			to the scientists that can debate that whole issue.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			So another a third question comes?
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:54
			Well, this is not to say anything about those phenomenas, or global warming.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			And that's what I said, Yes.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:58
			Indeed,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			Allah Subhana Allah Allah
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			tells us
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			almost about every major
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:09
			problem.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:18
			And about any issue that we might be confronted with, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			But I said before, I call it reverse.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:33
			Let's look at the causes of global warming. And let's look at the proposed
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:44
			solutions for this problem that has been linked to all those phenomenons that we we've been having
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:52
			a quick analysis to some of those root causes, as well as the
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:05
			suggested solutions for this problem made me realize a pattern that they were all or most of them,
especially the major ones, they were all behavior,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			the cause of their behavior. And the solutions are amazing.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			It all has to do
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			with our behavior,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			allows us to return
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:31
			had prepared, and we do not deny anything that happened as ages. And before that, but among some
panelists, Allah made this planet go through all kinds of phases,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:41
			as a whole history of history that according to the Islamic tradition that goes before this earth
where it was created way before
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			and on that issue, we have no problem with science.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:09:05
			And Earth went through all kinds of changes. But finally, with the last panel with the attitudes for
Adam, to land on this planet, and reside, Allah subhanaw taala that made this earth come to a point
where it was fully prepared in every way in fashion,
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			to accommodate
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			his needs, and the needs of his descendants.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			So this earth, Planet Earth,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			went through all kinds of phases,
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:25
			all kinds of ages, and finally came to a point where it was suitable to be a place
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			for human beings.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:36
			And the responsibility of taking care of it was handed over to Adam and his children. That is us.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			And Allah subhana wa tada told us what it takes to maintain this planet.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:49
			And what it takes to take advantage of this opportunity that we have
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			an ordinance of the things that might cause
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			the destruction of this planet
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			and warn us
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			The type of behavior that we should avoid.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:26
			So now, a quick analysis of what we have done over the ages, we violated almost 100,000
restrictions, and we violated almost penalty laws. And now a loss of habitat is making us get a
taste of some of the consequences of our actions, a lot of panel data says, is similar to rule
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:33
			in this era is full of amazing lessons in science, like all of the sewers.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:41
			And many of those lessons are very relevant to what we are dealing with.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			Verse 41, in particular, amongst panel data says
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			roofing very well,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:58
			destruction, disaster has spread throughout land and sea.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			scholars of the ship
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:10
			when they tried to explain what this verse or this word means,
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:15
			they said this is a reference to those so called natural disasters.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:21
			I'm not talking about contemporary scholars, I'm talking about scholars 1000 years ago.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:33
			hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, they gave such examples. So lots of help Alison, this has
appeared,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			it has become so apparent
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:42
			not occasional, not wants to know and has become so and it spreads out.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:51
			So disasters have spread out across Canada is bound to feel badly went back online, as well as see
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:00
			why be Marika Savage, a nurse, because of that which the hands of men have earned.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			So lots of power Tyler tells us in the four hour way before our contemporary scientists
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:18
			basically determined that his whole behavior, it is what we have earned, what we have, what we have
done,
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:27
			is the way we go about our affairs that caused all of this, why are we
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:29
			losing
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			the army? What is the purpose of this? Why Why make us
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:41
			suffer some of those, some of the consequences of our actions, leave the opponent
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			to let us get a taste of what we have done.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			So that he would let them get a taste of some
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:06
			of what they have done. And if a man was, as I said, we can hear from all of us to hold us
accountable and punish us for every little thing that we did. Forget about a lot of things, if allow
us to punish us for all the major things that we have done, he would have wiped us out.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:08
			Mathematically,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			none would have been existence.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18
			If a loss was to hasten the punishment, we would have been destroyed
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:23
			for the kind of the kinds of things and actions we engage in.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:47
			But why, what is the ultimate purpose of this? Allah wants to punish us that we should be punished
for everything. No. This is just a reminder. Because the ultimate purpose of this from Allah
subhanho wa Taala was known for his mercy and His kindness, his land, the homie of God,
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:00
			that they might return to a loss of habitat, they might revert back to a loss of habitat, they might
turn around and blame themselves and take responsibility for their actions.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			And
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:11
			they might turn around and look at themselves and say, I am responsible for this. How can I fix it?
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:19
			Now we have people suggesting that the way to fix this is to change our behavior, change our habits,
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:36
			conserve, be more considered, be sensitive, don't be wasteful. Well has a lot to handle the data set
and his messages and his books through his prophets. Through those who carry the legacy of the
province has almost said that
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			lead to civil war could
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			eat and drink but do not be wasteful.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			Do not exaggerate.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			Do not exploit
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57
			do not abuse. appreciate what a mechanic is giving
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			in order for
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			This brothers and sisters to make sense, before we start becoming paranoid
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:24
			about coming up with some of those changes, something has to change. And that is our mindset. that
mindset will not change until we come to a realization that we are in a way responsible, directly or
indirectly in our actions count in the eyes of a muscle panel.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:36
			So any form of injustice or wrongdoing that you believe you're part of has to come to end.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			Any suffering
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			that or any pain that you're inflicting on others.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:54
			If you think I'm awesome, Hamilton is not watching the last part that is not holding you accountable
for it. You're wrong. That has to come to an end.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:05
			I've seen this man asked him what some how to make you and I have those who listen and follow the
discipline they listen to full of other stuff.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			it was reported that anytime there must be
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			so dark clouds coming
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:30
			a storm.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			He used to have
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:39
			the opposite reaction of what most people use to
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:48
			most people, when they see dark clouds. They say Oh, it's about to rain, we're gonna have some rain.
And they get excited.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:59
			Farmers are very cheerful. The problem of the loss of the lumber it was it was reported that he
would get nervous and asked him awesome panel data to make this
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			a blessing.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:11
			And to make this storm, a source or a cause of some of the blessings of a loss of habitat as you
come upon them.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:31
			And nothing opposite. Remembering one wasn't handled either related in the form of how animals are
punished. Some of the previous nations, some of those ancient civilizations, how the punishment of a
loss of handling data which they have asked for.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:38
			When it came approaching them, they thought it was just another rain.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			Just another storm.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			So loss of habitat is set to the new.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:53
			The reality of this storm is that it will come and destroy you and destroy everything that you have
built
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:10
			because of what you have done, but they couldn't hear the answer. It was hidden because they were
not aware of what was a patent that they were not mindful of the size of the law. So every time the
problem some alone while he was in sees anything similar to that he remembers those verses in the
plan.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:18
			So he would ask the laws of how valuable it is to let it pass peacefully, aloneness and loneliness.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:29
			Now we compare that to how we react to those incidents and events, we have become totally
desensitized.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:37
			We have become totally desensitized, which is an indication that we're not even aware of our own
wrongdoing.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:45
			We don't think that we have anything to do with this in any way of fashion.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:19:19
			We're not taking responsibility. And this is where we have to start by taking responsibility for our
own actions and do something about it. Because now not only does it affect our spiritual well being
those since this kind of destructive behavior doesn't only threaten our spiritual well being, but
brothers and sisters, now it is actually threatening our very existence
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			and our lives.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:32
			So this is a taste. Now people are turning and say what what have we done well, what can we fix?
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			So brothers and sisters, let's take responsibility.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:42
			Let's take responsibility for our actions and let's return to our last panel with that.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			And let's be proactive
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			and do something that counts
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:54
			shall be coming hopeless. We will be talking about
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			habits that we can adopt to be more effective
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			types of habits
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:08
			I would please the last panel with that. But none of those habits will mean anything. They're merely
words that are
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			spoken in a hook. But they're not
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:20
			imply they're they're not applied by those who say them and those who hear.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:23
			So
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			we are approaching a period
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:27
			that
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			is very critical.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			And we are making history.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			Brothers and sisters, we have an opportunity,
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			we have an opportunity that we have to take advantage of
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			brothers and sisters,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			I would like to bring to your attention
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:02
			the fact that we need to be a little more involved we affairs of our community,
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			at the community level as well as the individual level.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			And I'll give you
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			an example
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			of how not being involved and engaged
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			could actually have
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			serious consequences.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			Last week,
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:46
			actually, I believe that today they're going to have the janazah prayer for the brother was passed
away, and whose body is not even present anymore.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:22:04
			And I have to bring this to your attention. Because this is what happens in communities where there
is no communication and there is no involvement. And people are not taking responsibility. People
don't have connection. And as bursary alluded at one point where people have superficial,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			shallow relationships.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:13
			When Islam and the principles of this great religion of ours are not present,
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			in our
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			behavior pattern is not present in our habits in the way we carry ourselves.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			This brother of ours was cremated.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			And his body
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			his body was turned into ashes. That's what cremation he was cremated.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:37
			And his body remained in the morgue for almost 10 days.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:43
			It took about five to seven days for the Muslims to even find out that
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			this tells you
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			of the condition
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:59
			of our communities. This is just an example of the so many examples and so many other areas and
aspects of life that we have to do.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			So how are we going to change this,
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			if we don't come together, help one another.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:17
			If we don't take responsibility, if we're not involved, if we're not proactive, how any of these
things are going to be eliminated.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:27
			Another point that I would like to bring up is that we have all kinds of opportunities and programs
that are being
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:32
			offered now. And 2008. We also have new programs coming up.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:43
			Unless people come and participate and they take part of it is not going to we won't be able to
maintain them. Right. One of those problems that we have is
		
00:23:45 --> 00:24:08
			we have a class here More information is available in the office and outside. So sign up for us
Islander children for it. And take advantage of it is one of those solutions. And one of those ways
out of this mess that we were in is to go back to the source of guidance, which is a group of
allies. So this class has been offered to take advantage of it.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			Finally, brothers and sisters,
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:21
			inshallah, we soon very soon we're going to call upon upon you
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:33
			to to become a little more involved and active. Our activities have resumed in a Friday night
program. And other activities have resumed after Ramadan.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:43
			And one thing one sad observation that many of the volunteers made is that we don't have the same
amount of excitement and same amount of involvement that we had and
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:49
			we have talked about the importance of maintaining the spirit of trauma
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			and the importance of maintaining your connection with a lost palletize inside and outside.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			And I would like to also not forget to
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			Mind you inshallah, if you have not fasted for six days,
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			you have about
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:12
			maybe 10 days or a little less than that actually nine days before the end of this month.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:35
			Actually, we think back maybe it's next Saturday could be the last day of July or it could be the
first day of the planet. So you'd have until next Friday, so if you haven't finished your six days
or if you have two days left finished fast six days for the profit center said that whosoever
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:51
			follows in six days of show when it is as if he has passed in the whole the whole year for Aston
Martin how to give you an inspiration and the energy and the strength to overcome our weaknesses and
our shortcomings and make us of those who listen and listen to
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			a man above
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			the corner he has a football
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:14
			watched
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			what I
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			mean and
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			you know
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			who he is when he never
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			went over to let us
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			do what we
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:35
			want
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			to see who want to see Victor with you and what was your evil
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			that's a lot wiser agenda your
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:49
			opinion.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:03
			Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Hamlet entomologia for so long.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			kasuri allow me
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:12
			to
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			fulfill
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:21
			whatever
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			he wanted,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:26
			weather
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			was
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:36
			was
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39
			was
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			was removed.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			Shop along
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			with Sarah Demichelis.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:05
			Yeah.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:10
			Well,
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			you know,
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			I'm coming in, while I had to do something.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			Welcome.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			It all has to do
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			with our behavior.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:54
			had prepared and we do not deny anything that happened as agency and before that, but Allah Subhana
Allah Allah made this planet go through all kinds of phases.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:05
			He has a long history and history that according to this line of tradition that goes before this
earth where it was created way before
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:09
			and on that issue, we have no problem with science.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:28
			And Earth went through all kinds of changes. But finally, when the last panel with the attitudes for
Adam, to land on this planet, and reside, Allah subhanaw taala made this earth come to a point where
it was fully prepared in every way in fashion,
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:35
			to accommodate Adam, his needs and the needs of his descendants.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			So this earth Planet Earth,
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			went through all kinds of phases,
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:47
			all kinds of ages, and finally came to a point where it was suitable
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			to be at least
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			for human beings,
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:59
			and the responsibility of taking care of it was handed over to Adam and his children. That is us.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:06
			Allah subhana wa tada told us what it takes to maintain this planet.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:12
			And what it takes to take advantage of this opportunity that we have
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			an ordinance of the things that might cause
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			the destruction of this planet.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
			And horridness of the type of behavior that we should avoid.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:49
			So now, a quick analysis of what we have done, over the ages, we violated almost pantallas
instructions, and we violated almost parity laws. And now, a lot of that is making us get a taste of
some of the consequences of our actions. Allah Subhana. Allah says, In surah, to rule
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:56
			in this sutra is full of amazing lessons in science, like all of the sewers.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:05
			And many of those lessons are very relevant to what we are dealing with.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			Verse 41, in particular, amongst panel data says
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			roofing very well,
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:21
			destruction, disaster has spread throughout land and sea.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			scholars of the ship,
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:38
			when they tried to explain what this verse or this word means for set, they said, this is a
reference to those so called natural disasters.
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:45
			I'm not talking about contemporary scholars, I'm talking about scholars 1000 years ago.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:56
			hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, they give such examples. So lots of help Allison, this has
appeared,
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			it has become so apparent.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:05
			Not occasional, not once a no it has become so and it spreads out.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			So disasters have spread out across
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			the field everyone back online, as well as see.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:24
			Why be medical service aid in because of that was the hands of men have earned.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:31
			So lots of power Tyler tells us in the four hour way before, our contemporary scientists
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:41
			basically determined that his own behavior, it is what we have earned, what we have, what we have
done.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:50
			It's the way we go about our affairs that caused all of this, Why
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			leave the
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:58
			army? What is the purpose of this? Why is the law make us
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:04
			suffer some of those, some of the consequences of our actions, leave the opponent
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			to let us get a taste of what we have done.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:14
			So that he would let them get a taste of some
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:30
			of what they have done. And if a man was, as I said, Before, I can hear from all of us to hold us
accountable and punish us for every little thing that we did. Forget about the little things, if
allowed us to punish us for all the major things that we have done, he would have wiped us out.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			None would have been existed.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:41
			If I was to hasten the punishment, we would have been destroyed
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:46
			for the kind of the kinds of things and actions we engage in.
		
00:33:50 --> 00:34:10
			But why, what is the ultimate purpose of this? Allah wants to punish us that we should be punished
for everything. No. This is just a reminder. Because the ultimate purpose of this from Allah
subhanho wa Taala was known for his mercy. And his kindness is the homie of God,
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			that they might return to a boss,
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			they might revert back to almost
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:23
			they might turn around and blame themselves and take responsibility for their actions.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:25
			And
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:34
			they might turn around and look at themselves and say, I am responsible for this. How can I fix it?
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:42
			Now we have people suggesting that the way to fix this is to change our behavior, change our habits,
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:59
			conserve, be more considerate, be sensitive, don't be wasteful. Well has to handle without a set in
his messages in his books through his prophets, through those who carry the legacy of the province
has almost Hamlet Allison
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			Learn to surf, we're gonna
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			eat and drink but do not be wasteful.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:11
			Do not exaggerate,
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15
			do not exploit,
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			do not abuse. appreciate what I'm
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:20
			giving.
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:29
			In order for all of this brothers and sisters to make sense, before we start becoming paranoid
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:48
			about coming up with some of those changes, something has to change. And that is our mindset. that
mindset will not change until we come to a realization that we are in a way responsible, directly or
indirectly, in our actions. Count in the eyes of Allah Subhana Allah.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:59
			So any form of injustice or wrongdoing, that you believe your part of has to come to an end.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			And the suffering
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:08
			that or any pain that you're inflicting on others.
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:18
			If you think of loss of habitat is not watching the last part that is not holding you accountable
for it. You're wrong, that has to come to an end.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:26
			I say this, and I asked him what some how to make you and I have those who listen and follow the
discipline they listen to
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam Allah,
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:47
			it was reported that anytime there must be a
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:48
			sin.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			So dark clouds coming
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54
			a storm.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			He used to have
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:11
			the opposite reaction of what most people used to have. Most people when they see dark clouds, they
say oh, it's about to rain, we're gonna have some rain. And they get excited.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:22
			Farmers are very cheerful, because of the loss of the love it was, it was recorded that he would get
nervous, and asked him awesome panel data to make this
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			a blessing
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:34
			as you make this storm, a source or a cause of some of the blessings of a loss of power to come upon
them.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:55
			And nothing opposite. Remembering one wasn't handled either related in the form of how Allah
subhanaw taala punished some of the previous nations, some of those ancient civilizations, how the
punishment of Allah Subhana Allah data which they have asked for.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:01
			When it came approaching them, they thought it was just another rain.
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:04
			Just another storm.
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:08
			So loss of habitat ascend to the new.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:16
			The reality of this storm, is that it will come and destroy you and destroy everything that you have
built.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:33
			Because of what you have done, but they couldn't hear the answer. It was hidden because they were
not aware of what was happening. They were not mindful of the size of the law. So every time the
prophets of Allah will even send them sees anything similar to that he remembers those verses.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:41
			So he would ask the laws of how to lead is to let it pass peacefully, along with sudden loneliness.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:52
			Now we compare that to how we react to those incidents and events, we have become totally
desensitized.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:39:00
			We have become totally desensitized, which is an indication that we're not even aware of our own
wrongdoing.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:08
			We don't think that we have anything to do with this in any way of fashion.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:42
			We're not taking responsibility. And this is where we have to start by taking responsibility for our
own actions and do something about it. Because now not only does it affect our spiritual well being
those sins, this kind of destructive behavior doesn't only threaten our spiritual well being, but
brothers and sisters, now it is actually threatening our very existence
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			and our lives.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:55
			So this is a taste. Now people are turning and saying what have we done wrong? What can we fix?
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			So brothers and sisters, let's take responsibility.
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:04
			Let's take responsibility for our actions and literally control last panel.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:07
			And let's be proactive
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:11
			and do something that counts.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:13
			They show up
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:21
			and becoming homeless, we will be talking about them of habits that we can adopt to be more
effective
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25
			types of habit that will please the last panel with that.
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:32
			But none of those habits will mean anything. They're merely words that are
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:35
			spoken, and hooked up, but they're not
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:43
			employed apply or not apply by those who see them and those who hear.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:49
			So in short, we are approaching a period
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51
			that
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			is very critical.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:57
			And we are making history.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:03
			Brothers and sisters, we have an opportunity,
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			we have an opportunity that we have to take advantage of
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:13
			brothers and sisters,
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17
			I would like to bring to your attention.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:25
			The fact that we need to be a little more involved. We affairs of our community,
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			at the communal level, as well as the individual level.
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:32
			And I'll give you
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:35
			an example
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			of how not being involved and engaged
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			could actually have
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:45
			serious consequences.
		
00:41:58 --> 00:41:59
			Last week,
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:09
			actually, I believe that today, they're going to have the janaza prayer for the brother was passed
away, and whose body is not even present anymore.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:27
			And I have to bring this to your attention. Because this is what happens in communities where there
is no communication and there's no involvement. And people are not taking responsibility. People
don't have connection. And as brother Sharif alluded at one point where people have superficial,
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			shallow relationships
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:36
			when Islam and the principles of this great religion of ours are not present.
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:39
			And our
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:44
			behavior pattern is not present in our habits in the way we carry ourselves.
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			This brother of ours was cremated.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:50
			And his body
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:55
			his body was turned into ashes. That's what cremation means. He was cremated.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:00
			And his body remained in the morgue for almost 10 days.
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:06
			It took about five to seven days for the Muslims to even find out about that.
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:09
			This tells you
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:12
			of the condition
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:23
			of our communities. This is just an example of the so many examples and so many other areas and
aspects of life that we have to do.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27
			So how are we going to change this,
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:31
			if we don't come together, help one another.
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:40
			If we don't take responsibility, if we're not involved, if we're not proactive, how any of these
things are going to be eliminated.
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:50
			Another point that I would like to bring up is that we have all kinds of opportunities and programs
that are being
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:56
			offered now. And 2008 we also have new programs coming up.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:44:02
			And unless people come and participate and they take part of it is not going to we won't be able to
maintain them.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:07
			Right one of those problems that we have is
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:32
			we have a class here More information is available in the office and outside of Charlotte. So sign
up for silent children for it and take advantage of it. Because one of those solutions one of those
ways out of this mess that we were in is to go back to the source of guidance which is a book of a
loss. So this class has been offered to take advantage of
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37
			finally brothers and sisters
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:45
			inshallah we soon very soon we're going to call upon upon you
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:57
			to to become a little more involved. An active our activities have resumed. Friday Night program and
other activities have resumed after Ramadan
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00
			and one thing one side of
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:06
			revision that many of the volunteers made is that we don't have the same amount of excitement and
same amount of involvement that we had. And
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:13
			we have talked about the importance of maintaining the spirit of trauma
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:17
			and the importance of maintaining your connection with a loss paradise
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:19
			outside.
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:26
			And I would like to also not forget to remind you inshallah, if you have not fasted for six days,
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:28
			you have about
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:35
			maybe 10 days, or a little less than that, actually nine days before the end of this month.
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:58
			Actually, we, I think back maybe it's next Saturday could be the last day of Shabbat, or it could be
the first day of the bed. So you'd have until next Friday, so we haven't finished your six days of
Shabbat or if you have few days left, finish the fastest day that you went through the process of
the body and send that said, that whosoever
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:14
			follows in 60 days of show when it is as if he has passed and the whole the whole year to ask him
how to give you an inspiration and the energy and the strength to overcome our weaknesses and our
shortcomings and make us of those who listen and listen to
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:16
			a word about
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:33
			the governor. He had a football analyst and Obi Wan Rousey
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:38
			was
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:40
			one of the
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:43
			men in
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:44
			your
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48
			group and mounsey who will be
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:50
			a soldier when he never
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:53
			went over to
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:56
			do what we
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:05
			want to see Victor What do you want? What would you
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:07

00:47:08 --> 00:47:08
			a young
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:20
			man
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:26
			or Hamlet, entomology entomologia
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:44
			whatever
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:47
			he wanted
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:52
			to
		
00:47:55 --> 00:47:56
			see who else
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:00
			was
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:03
			was on
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:07
			the show
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:15
			it was it was celebrated equally. Equally when when folks have been genuine
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:20
