			what
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:30
			he has a
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			family and
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:38
			as
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:39
			a child
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			my brothers and sisters in snap
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			I remember that
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			I had mentioned once
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			that one of the early scholars
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			said
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:13
			That when I feed my brothers, when I see my brother, when I invite my brothers and slap, people with
whom I have this bond that we call Brotherhood is
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			when I see them eat from that which I have invited them over to me.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			He said, I could feel
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			and I could sense the taste of what they eat in my own mouth.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:34
			I remember that some people were shocked when I mentioned this, is this man exaggerated?
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			Could it really get to this level?
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:46
			I mean, as mothers, as people who care for one another,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			as people who have authentic love
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			and admiration for one another,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			you could actually
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			you could feel it,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:07
			you could enjoy it, simply because someone else that you care about and you love is enjoying
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:14
			a brother and sister could get to this level. If there is authenticity,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			if there is real commitment,
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:26
			if there is clear understanding, for the foundation of this part, and this relationship that we call
brotherhood,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:30
			you see the
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			stablish this from the beginning.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			Because it is one of the pandemic, it's one of the most important
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			principles,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			and one of the most critical
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:56
			of the foundations of the Muslim community. So in the province of
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			Medina,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			one of those
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			projects and one of those
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:10
			matters that he started with, was to pair the components.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			And he made sure that every one from the immigrants
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:22
			is assigned to and he has one of the unsolved the helpers, the people of Medina, the vision
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:23
			of Medina.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			And he paired
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			and when we read in the seer of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			how they took care of each other.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:45
			We should not be surprised because those people believe and committed and love what they believed
in.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			And because they loved what they believed it, and they committed, and it was not a burden.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:02
			It was a choice of theirs, that they were willing to give up everything for the love. At the same
level, anyone that shared those sets of principles and beliefs with them.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:18
			And that's why you should not be surprised or shocked when you read the stories of the companions.
Someone came to me he said, could really could this really be true? Could someone really offer
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			from the people of Medina
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			appeared with him.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			Sad comes out and he says listen.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			I know you're a stranger down here. You've got nothing, sir. Indeed.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:45
			I have two wives. Who are the most beautiful
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			women in Arabia, I
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:53
			can't see which one of them is more pleasing to you. I will divorce from the commander.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			And I have two of the best properties in Medina.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			Go check them out. see which one you love the most.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			And it's yours.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			And of course
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			did not say
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			I can take advantage of this gentleman's great offer. What a
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			what a kindness.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			And he's not saying well I hate to disappoint your brother. Okay, I'll accept.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			He said
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			May Allah bless
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			your properties and mailbox of how best your family for you.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:40
			I don't want any of this. Just lead me to the marketplace. Show me the way
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			I will do it online.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:53
			Now some people find this very shocking. Could this really be true or is it just one of those
exaggerations of our histories?
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:55
			It could be true
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			and perhaps it is
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			Because we do not understand, or because we have not yet connected
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:18
			with the principles that brought these people together, these kinds of examples are shocking at
times, it could be overwhelming for us to process
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			and understand.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			You see the process of not only start with this.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:31
			But he continued throughout his life in Medina,
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:37
			he continued to preach and teach
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:45
			the companions of his companions, how to preserve and how to strengthen this bond.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:53
			He doesn't say, Well, here it is, this is it, take care of it, do it. And that's it, no.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			They in and day out.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:04
			And therefore am keen to prohibit anything that might threaten or jeopardize this vital this
relationship.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:13
			And the purpose of the law against anything that might weaken or break this tie, or this barn Cobra.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			For the sake of the unity of the Omega street,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			and
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			along with the province have
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:31
			taught us all the things that we need to do, to preserve and to strengthen this one.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			The Sahaba understood
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:36
			that
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			one's faith will not be completed until he loves
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			me if you wonder how one could really feel
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:54
			happy and enjoy someone, one of his brothers, accomplishing something.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			Or find the taste
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:10
			of the food that the other person is eating in his own mouth. And be happy for him in a time where
we don't understand these kind of concepts, and a time where people have become so materialistic,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			and so selfish,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			and we only care about ourselves.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			In order for you to understand this,
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			read the secret of the process of a loved
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			one of you will not be a true believer, he loves his brother when he loves himself.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:36
			Until his needs become as important or more important than mine.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			Until his interest is as good
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			are even more important than my interests.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			Allah subhanho wa Taala praises them
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			because they give preference over themselves.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:20
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in order for us to really finally connect with our,
with what we claim to have the state that we claim to have a map of the principles I mean, in order
for us to really find that place
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:52
			in order for us to overcome this struggle that we have, trying to just feel the sweetness and
appreciate this belief system that we have. In order for us to find that taste the promise of the
law is required qualities one of which is to love someone to love your brother, for the sake of my
sister to love your sister for the sake of when you love someone for the sake of why you love them
truly, and honestly and authentically.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:19:00
			Then anything good that happens to them will bring you joy and make you excited and happy. You will
be very happy for them.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:09
			And then evil or suffering that befalls them will distress you and cause you sadness.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			Brothers and sisters keep in mind
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:25
			that if the affairs of the Muslims and what they go through, does not bother us. It does not concern
us that we're not part of them. I say this and ask them lots of patterns.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			Because of those, listen and follow them.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57
			What have you been
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			up to
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			All right 1234
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			how do you
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			how do you
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			run away from with dahmen? Maddie?
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			Here, brothers and sisters,
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:32
			all of you know that the situation
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			is worse.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			And one of those
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			ironic, at the same time
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:56
			mind boggling facts is that what is happening
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			is happening at the hands of people
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:06
			whose ancestors were oppressed
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			and humiliated and mistreated throughout history.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			Last week,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			Dr. Nikki was here and he was
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			talking about how it was
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			such a prophet Musa
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			to remind his people of the dangers of the law with killing,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			remind them of the days of a lot.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			Those days where the last panel with Allah,
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			give them victory over those who oppress them.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			And reminder,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			benefits a person in three ways.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:55
			When you are reminded of something, that number one,
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			it is a reminder for you to appreciate what you have now.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:09
			When you are reminded of something, it is for you to maintain appreciation, as you show gratitude
for what you have.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			That's why you are reminded, don't forget, don't forget,
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:16
			number two.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:24
			It is for you to remember where you were, and what you went through and what happened to you.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:33
			So you do not do anything that will cause that to come back.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			If it is bad,
		
00:22:37 --> 00:23:06
			as it is something good that you're rewarded with. So you would do whatever it takes to get it back.
When I remind you of something that are reminding you so you will if it's something good, that are
reminding you that it is for you to go and do whatever it takes whatever you have done in the past
earnings. And it is something that is the best situation and I'm reminding you, so you will avoid
whatever it might lead to number three, in their situation in their case.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:18
			It is a reminder for them. So they will not inflict upon others what was inflicted upon themselves.
They will not make others go through what they have gone through themselves.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			And I wonder how could any human
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:25
			with a heart
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:35
			go through a particular type of suffering, and then allow himself to be the cause of inflicting that
upon another human being
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:49
			this issue situation before what is happening now. I mean, the standards were they're subhuman
standards, you would not you would not allow animals to live.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:57
			And this is something that I've gathered from eyewitnesses, people who have gone there and visited
their their families.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			You will not allow animals to live in those kinds of conditions.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			And the whole world is titled
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:16
			Why? Because simply it is being done by the State of Israel who can just get away with anything that
it does.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:22
			And this heart has to stop and it has to come to an end.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			And we are to speak against
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			and we have to move forward.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:36
			So we can get ourselves as the whole world out of this mess that we are suffering.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:46
			This is the very time that I was talking about last week and the week before that has to stop.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:54
			This is the time that we were told not to allow it to happen to us or anyone else.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			And the sacred mercy in America or any other part of the
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15
			On Sunday, January 20,
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			of this year,
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:27
			only power plant was forced to close due to blood shipments of few in the region.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:36
			And you can imagine what that might lead to, and what that actually led to.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40
			And you have 1.5 million people
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:45
			whose daily needs are pretty much,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			pretty much not not
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			accessible.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:07
			Let me just read to you from what Islamic Relief has actually published, of the crisis facts 80% of
the population is unemployed, or 80%.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:22
			Over two thirds of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, are living in poverty, at least 1.3
million Palestinians are estimated to be food insecure.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			Tell me where this fall
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			when it when we talk about progress
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:35
			and feeling for others and caring for others.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			If this does not
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			cause us to lose sleep.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			If this is not disturbing enough,
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			I don't know what else has to happen to this format.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			To realize the extent
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			of its misery.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:05
			today, the brozen relief and relief care also
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:17
			has a box that is designated to collect funds to see who want to deliver any of those needs, to the
people at
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:22
			the same time, do not forget, that is not the only place.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:29
			So do not forget our most and most effective or most important and most effective to
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			do I wish I know that we have not been doing enough of
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			praise the last.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			Number three, remember
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:48
			that remember that you have a responsibility, personal responsibility, you can either
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:53
			bring some good, or prevent some evil.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:01
			So find for yourself something to live for, and try to make a difference in the world.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06
			Go and start your own project.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			Even if it is having to work on your own,
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:19
			even if it is having to stop some of your bad habits, even if it is starting to save and not waste
your wealth.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24
			So someone that really needs it could use it.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:31
			Even if it is going and starting and saying you know what I want to make a difference, I will start
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38
			sponsoring orphans and fell asleep or in Kashmir
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41
			or in Darfur,
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			or anywhere in the world.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:57
			So that I get someone from those who are suffering, those who lost their loved ones and those who
support them in this crisis, which I have witnessed myself, I will offer them an opportunity
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:05
			to live a better life and this is how I make a difference. This is my contribution.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:15
			So maybe that person will become one day he might become an Imam or he might become a daddy or he
might become a doctor or you might become an engineer or he might become a statement.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:24
			And he will have the opportunity to live a healthy and balanced life because of you. And maybe that
person
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			will bring
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30
			some change in the future and you will be the cause of it.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:43
			Something there is every one of us has and can make a difference and has the opportunity to do so
find that opportunity. Find your niche and go and do something
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:46
			as opposed
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:52
			to live in pain and suffering. are brothers and sisters all over the world.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			And relative to
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:08

00:34:41 --> 00:34:42
			further
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			my brothers and sisters and
		
00:34:59 --> 00:34:59
			I am
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			Remember that?
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			I had mentioned once
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			that one of the early scholars
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:22
			said that when I feed my brothers, when I see my brother, when I invite my brothers and snap, people
with whom I have this bond that we call Brotherhood is
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:29
			when I see them eat from that which I have invited them over to enjoy.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			He said, I could feel
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:37
			and I could sense the taste of what they eat in my own mouth.
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:43
			I remember that some people were shocked when I mentioned this is this man exaggerated,
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:47
			couldn't really get to this level.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:55
			I mean, as mothers, as people who care for one another,
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:01
			as people who have authentic love
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			and admiration for one another,
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:06
			you could actually
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			you could feel it,
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:16
			you could enjoy it, simply because someone else that you care about and you love is enjoyable.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:24
			And brother and sister could get to this level. If there is authenticity,
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:27
			if there is real commitment,
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:36
			if there is clear understanding for the foundation of this barn, and this relationship that we call
Brotherhood is
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:41
			you see the promise of
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:47
			stablish this from the beginning.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:53
			Because it is one of the pandemic, it's one of the most important
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:55
			principles,
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			and one of the most critical
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:06
			of the foundations of the Muslim community. So in the province of
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			Medina,
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			one of those
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			projects, and one of those
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:20
			matters that he started with, was to pair the companions.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:24
			And he made sure that every one from the immigrants
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:31
			is assigned to and he has one of the unsolved the helpers, the people of Medina, the vision
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			of Medina.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			And he paired,
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:42
			and when we read in the seer of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam,
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:45
			how they took care of each other.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:54
			We should not be surprised because those people believed and committed and love what they believed
in.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:00
			And because they loved what they believed, and they committed and it was not a burden
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:12
			was a choice of theirs, that they were willing to give up everything for. They loved at the same
level, anyone that shared those sets of principles and beliefs with them.
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:28
			And that's why you should not be surprised. Or when you read the stories of the companions. Someone
came to me he said, could really could this really be true? Could someone really offer
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:35
			from the people of Medina, the
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:37
			period with him?
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:42
			He says, Listen,
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:47
			I know you're a stranger down here. You've got nothing.
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:49
			Indeed.
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:54
			I have two boys, who are the most beautiful
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			women in a raven
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:03
			garden, see which one of them is more pleasing to you. I will divorcing the commander.
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:08
			And I have two of the best properties in Medina.
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:14
			Go check them out. see which one you love the most.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:16
			And it's yours.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:18
			And of course
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:21
			did not say
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			I can take advantage of this gentleman's great offer.
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:27
			What a kindness.
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:32
			And he did not say well, I hate to disappoint your brother. Okay, I'll accept.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:34
			He said
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			May Allah bless
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:43
			your properties and mailwasher bless your family for you.
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:50
			I don't want any of this. Just lead me to the marketplace. Show me the way
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			and I will do it on my own.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:40:00
			Now some people find this very shocking. Could this really be true?
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			Or is it just one of those exaggerations of our stories?
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:05
			It could be true.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:08
			And perhaps it is.
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:16
			And because we do not understand, or because we have not yet connected
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:30
			with the principles that brought these people together, these kinds of examples are shocking at a
time that could be overwhelming for us to process and understand.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:34
			You see the process of not only start with this,
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:40
			but he continued throughout his life in Medina,
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:47
			he continued to preach and teach
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:55
			the companion for the purpose of his companions, how to preserve and how to strengthen this bond.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:03
			He didn't say, Well, here it is, this is it, take care of it, do it. And that's it, no
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05
			day in and day out.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:14
			And the 4am team to prohibit anything that might threaten or jeopardize this vital this relationship
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:23
			and the purpose of the law against anything that might weaken or break this tie, or this bond Cobra
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			for the sake of the unity of the home industry,
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:34
			along with the province of
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:41
			taught us all the things that we need to do, to preserve and to strengthen this one.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			The Sahaba understood
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:46
			that
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:51
			one's faith will not be completed until he loves
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:56
			me if you wonder how one could really feel
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:04
			happy and enjoy someone, one of his brothers, accomplishing something.
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:07
			Or find the taste
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:20
			of the food that the other person is eating in his own mouth. And be happy for him in a time where
we don't understand these kind of concepts, in a time where people have become so materialistic,
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			and so selfish,
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			and we only care about ourselves.
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			In order for you to understand this,
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:38
			read the secret of the province of love it was one of you will not be a true believer that he loves
his brother what he loves for himself.
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:45
			Until his needs become as important or more important than money
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:51
			until his interest is as good
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:56
			or even more important than my interest.
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:05
			Allah, Allah praise the unsung
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:11
			because they give preference over themselves.
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:30
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in order for us to really finally connect with our with
what we claim to have the state that we claim to have, Hema, all the principles I mean, in order for
us to really find that case.
		
00:43:31 --> 00:44:02
			In order for us to overcome this struggle that we have, trying to just feel the sweetness and
appreciate this belief system that we have focused on in order for us to find that taste, the
promise of the law is to have three qualities one of which is to love someone to love your brother,
for the sake of my sister to love your sister for the sake of when you love someone for the sake of
why you love them truly, and honestly and authentically.
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:10
			Then anything good that happens to them will bring you joy and make you excited and happy. You'll be
very happy for them.
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:18
			And any evil or suffering that befalls them will distress you and cause you sadness.
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22
			Brothers and sisters keep in mind
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:35
			that in the affairs of the Muslims and what they go through, does not bother us. It does not
concerns that we're not part of them. I say this and ask lots of
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:38
			those, listen and follow them
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:56
			in
		
00:44:59 --> 00:44:59
			the
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:07
			Well, how do you pick?
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			The right one?
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:19
			How do you end up in America?
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			Have you been
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:29
			away with
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			your brothers and sisters,
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:42
			all of you know that the situation
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:47
			is worse.
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:51
			And one of those
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55
			ironic, at the same time
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:06
			mind boggling facts is that what is happening
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			is happening at the hands of people
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:16
			whose ancestors were oppressed
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:22
			and humiliated and mistreated throughout history.
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:25
			Last week,
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:30
			Dr. Nikki was here and he was
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:35
			talking about how it wasn't handled a data center profit center
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:39
			to remind people of the dangers of a law which
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			reminds them of the days of a law.
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48
			Those days where it was handled with data,
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:52
			give them victory over those who are pressing.
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:56
			And reminder.
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			Benefits a person in three ways.
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:05
			When you are reminded of something, the number one,
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:10
			it is a reminder for you to appreciate what you have now.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:18
			When you are reminded of something, it is for you to maintain appreciation, and to show gratitude
for what you have.
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:23
			That's why you are reminded, don't forget, don't forget.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:26
			Number two
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:34
			is for you to remember where you were, and what you went through and what happened to you.
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:42
			So you do not do anything that will cause that to come back.
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:44
			If it is bad,
		
00:47:47 --> 00:48:16
			as there is something good that you are rewarded with. So you would do whatever it takes to get it
back. When I remind you of something, when I'm reminding you so you will, if it's something good,
that are reminding you that it is for you to go and do whatever it takes whatever you have
definitely past earnings. And it is something that is the best situation and I'm reminding you, so
you will avoid whatever it might lead to number three, and their situation and their case.
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:28
			It is a reminder for them. So they will not inflict upon others what was inflicted upon themselves.
They will not make others go through what they have gone through themselves.
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:32
			And I wonder how could any human
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:35
			with a heart
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:44
			those who through a particular type of suffering, and then allow himself to be the cause of
inflicting that upon another human being.
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:59
			The situation before what is happening now. I mean, the standards were there some human standards,
you will not you will not allow animals to live.
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:07
			And this is something that I've gathered from eyewitnesses, people who have gone there and visited
their their families.
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:13
			You will not allow animals to live in those kinds of conditions
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:15
			as the whole world is titled.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:26
			Why? Because simply it is being done by the State of Israel who can just get away with anything that
it does.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:31
			And this has to stop and it has to come to an end.
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:35
			And we ought to speak against
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:39
			and we have to move forward
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:46
			so we can get ourselves and the whole world out of this mess that we are suffering.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:56
			This is the very title that I was talking about last week and the week before that has to stop.
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			This is the type of work
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:03
			That we were told not to allow to happen to us or anyone else.
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:09
			In the sacred months in America, or any other part of the
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:13
			continent.
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:25
			On Sunday, January 20
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:27
			of this year,
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:37
			the only power plant was forced to close due to blood shipments of few intuition.
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:45
			And you can imagine what that might lead to, and what that actually does.
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50
			And you have 1.5 million people
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:55
			whose daily needs are pretty much
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:58
			pretty much not not
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:00
			accessible.
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:17
			Let me just read to you from what Islamic Relief has actually published, of the crisis facts 80% of
the population is unemployed, or 80%.
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:32
			Over two thirds of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, are living in poverty, at least 1.3
million Palestinians are estimated to be food insecure.
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:36
			Tell me where this fall
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:40
			when it when we talk about brotherhood
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:45
			and feeling for others and caring for others.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:48
			If this does not
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:51
			cause us to lose sleep.
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:54
			If this is not disturbing enough,
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:58
			I don't know what else has to happen to this.
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:02
			To realize the extent
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:04
			of its misery.
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:07
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:14
			today, the brothers inside relief and live care also
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:27
			has a box that is designated to collect funds to see if they're going to deliver any of those needs.
For the people that
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:31
			the same time Do not forget, that is not the only place.
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:39
			So do not forget our most and most effective or most important and most effective tool. And that is
		
00:52:41 --> 00:52:43
			do I wish I know that we have not been doing it.
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:46
			Pray for the last.
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:51
			Number three, remember
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:52
			that remember
		
00:52:53 --> 00:53:03
			that you have responsibility, personal responsibility, you can either bring some good, or prevent
some evil.
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:16
			So find for yourself something to live for, and try to make a difference in the world. Go and start
your own project.
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:20
			Even if it is having to work on your own,
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:29
			even if it is having to stop some of your bad habits, even if it is starting to save and not waste
your wealth.
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:34
			So someone that really needs it could use it.
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:41
			Even if it is going and starting and saying you know what I want to make a difference, I will start
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:48
			sponsoring orphans and fell asleep or in Kashmir
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:50
			or in dog food
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:53
			or anywhere in the world.
		
00:53:54 --> 00:54:07
			So that I give someone from those who are suffering, those who lost their loved ones and those who
support them in this crisis, which I have witnessed myself, I will offer them an opportunity
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:14
			to live a better life and this is how I make a difference. This is my contribution.
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:24
			So maybe that person will become one day he might become an Imam or he might become a daddy or he
might become a doctor or he might become an engineer or he might become a statement.
		
00:54:26 --> 00:54:35
			And he will have the opportunity to live a healthy balanced life because of you. And maybe that
person will bring
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:53
			some change in the future and you will be the cause of it. Do something there is every one of us has
and can make a difference and has the opportunity to do so find that opportunity find your niche and
go and do something.
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:59
			Else Allah subhanho wa Taala to live in pain and suffering
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:02
			Brothers and sisters all over the world.
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:10
			Love and relatives.
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:17
			But he said
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:19
			a lot more.
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:54
			Hello
		
00:55:55 --> 00:55:57
			Christ God
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:04
			alone
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:06
			falling
		
00:56:07 --> 00:56:08
			in love with
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:11
			a loved one
		
00:56:23 --> 00:56:24
			COVID getting
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:31
			even better.
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:40
			The other piece of memory in your drive our Brother
		
00:56:42 --> 00:56:48
			Jerry, he passed away yesterday morning after a lot of suffering with cancer. This is the same
brother that we had
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:50
			less
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:53
			two months ago actually last year.
		
00:56:54 --> 00:57:02
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make gender his abode and so content forgiveness and mercy
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:15
			the lovely camel syntax in later videos I
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:19
			went along as
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:24
			far as
