So
what happened here?
Columbus innovative dancing men,
either married or with

or photography what
we have
here brothers and sisters.
For the past week, actually for the past two weeks,
I've been contemplating on many issues that I want to present.
And today's for
many, we have so many occasions. We have so many events. And then we were
struck this past week
with this disaster or catastrophe that took place. everybody's aware of it, but they're saying that the death toll might have
Reach 100,000. For more,
right.
And we have this
falling and deteriorating economy that is putting a lot of pressure on many families. And then on the other hand, in a resume try to deal with many people who have personal issues and crises and dilemmas.
And many of us seem to be stuck in situations that that
you know, and they're losing hope. They're falling into a state of despair.
And many of those dilemmas and issues might have different causes.
But there is a common factor
contemplating on those issues.
And the fact that I was asked recently about, you know, parents rights and, and people looking forward to Mother's Day and all these
questions coming up again,
today about mothers and is it okay to celebrate and celebrate and all these issues remind me of a story told to us by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and collected by Navajo families and authentic story.
The story involves three individuals, three men, from the generations that came before
the grace of God.
And this is a real story. It's not a metaphor.
It is not a parable. It is not exactly the prophecy. It's not a fiction. It is a real story that took place on this planet.
3 million men like you and I
set out on a journey, the prompts on Walmart incentive told his companions
during that journey,
it started getting dark.
As it started to rain,
they looked around, they saw no villages, nothing. The only place where they can find shelter was a key nearby.
So they proceeded to that came in, they said, let's just spend the night here.
And the next day, we'll, we'll continue our journey.
As soon as they entered this key,
a huge rock or Boulder, rolled down from the top of the mountain.
And was was
at the entrance of that cave, blocking it and trapping them inside.
Now you can imagine, the poorer, you can imagine the despair, you can imagine the state of fear that these three men were
no cell phones,
no navigation devices, no way to detect where they are? No, no way to get any kind of rescue.
But commonly one of them suggested is that listen, we have someone that we can count on here.
Let's call it
now how many knows when we find ourselves stuck in a situation
can calmly without panicking
can call me and go back to our senses and say this quote karma.
It takes some some some faith, some certainty.
It takes some strength.
But maybe the rest of the story will tell us why these men were able
to keep their cool and find
a way out of this mess or out of this dilemma.
So they said, Let's call upon Omar on the merits
of some or one
of our good deeds, the best. The best deed that we did for the sake of about anything that we have, let's recall that the
and on the marriage of that deed call upon the wiser
and ask the Lord to bring us a relief and to rescue us.
So maybe that will give us a clue as to why they weren't able to
to be calm. Why they were able to resort back to that faith and connection. They have to realize they have some good deeds that they could count on.
They knew from before
many people who only know how
They're stuck in a situation and there's nothing they can do.
They only turn to the last panel down and they're desperate.
These men, from before, had a relationship with a lot had a connection with the last panel data. So when they were desperate,
they were able to count on that connection in that relationship. They had no walls. And
so the first man started praying. And he said, and now each one of them is
talking about what he didn't
relate to a Muslim candidate.
He's actually telling me something that I must have had a nose off. But he is submitting this story.
Right before he makes his prayer or his request from a loss of paddle paddle. So the first man said, Oh, I have enough that I have to my parents, my father, my mother, they were very old. And I used to take care of him.
And it was my habit, I developed this habit out of respect and love for my parents, that I would make them whenever he brings milk or brings any kind of meal, his parents go first, how to respect love and devotion,
honoring his parents. So it happened that one time all along, I went too far.
And by the time I came back, they had fallen asleep.
And I hated to break my habit, it was caught up. It might sound a little or insignificant to any of us was a big deal. But this man, his love and devotion for his parents was real.
This habit of making his parents go first, was not to to get back at someone or to tease someone or to show or.
But rather, it was a genuine expression of gratitude, devotion and love from his parents.
And he couldn't forgive himself for you know, making it there late.
So he held that bowl of milk in his hand,
hoping that they would wake up at any moment.
And he kept doing that all night long. Until
Dawn, he says to a loss of habitat and his dog.
And another narration, he says that my children were beneath me crying, and the whole time he was struggling with with with this desire to have, you know, he didn't want to break his habit.
We're not talking about listening to his parents. We're not talking about helping his parents we're not talking about when they're when they're desperate. No, they were sleep.
And nowadays, we have parents like to go to a shelter. We have parents, I mean, I
I did not. I never thought that Muslims were capable of throwing their parents in nursing homes and not checking on them.
I never thought that I would hear a story of parents who had done everything they could for their children,
you know, having a nervous breakdown. Because one of their children threw them in a stand in a nursing home and left them for years without
without any.
I never thought that a Muslim,
an elder an innocent man or woman will end up getting cremated because the nursing home could not reach their children.
So this man says, oh, Lord, I couldn't break that habit of mine by parents woke up, I gave them the milk. And they drank first. I didn't have to allow. If I made this for your sake, then bring relief get us out of this the puzzle. While it was intended immediately, the rock or the boulder shifted, made a movement giving them a little opening, they are able to see the light, but they're not able to leave because it wasn't wide enough. It wasn't big enough. But they knew that they were on the right track. So the second man got down on his knees started praying for most parents. And he started confessing and now this case is totally different.
This man said to us that all along you know that I had
a relative something that was related to a female that he was in love with the elective so much.
I loved her more than anyone can love someone else.
He said that that I tried to have a relationship with her and she refused.
Until one day she felt that she had a financial crisis he was she was going through some financial trouble. So she came to me asking for money.
And he is telling them what kind of house he offered. He said, Oh, well, you know that I offered her 120 pieces of gold
with a condition that she will let me do whatever I want with her.
And she agreed.
And then he said, When I came
to touch her,
she said,
she made a statement.
She said, fear of law,
and do not do this.
That little reminder, may have snuck out of the seat.
And he says, Okay, go, I'm not going to do this. It triggered that fear,
which was there. But somehow it was overcome by that loss of that desire that he had.
modesty, chastity.
And he walked away from her repenting for muscle power that he says in his confession, all if I did that, for your sake, relievers, if you have accepted that from me, as a good deal,
then relievers, or bring us a relief and get us out of this Westfields, the process, a lot of it was set up set, the rock further shifted.
And they knew that they were on the right track. So the third that gets them to start straight to Allah subhana wa tada that he says all along, you know that I have hired people to do some work some contractors.
And he agreed, or they had an agreement amongst them that he will pay them a certain amount.
At the end of that job that they did, he paid every single one of them except one. Some scholars say that the man was angry, he wanted more. But you know, this person up, you know, basically said, Whatever we agreed upon, that's what I'm going to pay.
So whatever the cause of that man need to go to the party without getting his wage or getting paid. And how this man leaves. One hour all these people leaves without getting his paycheck without getting his money.
So instead, I took that money, I put it aside and I started investigating for him.
After a while the man comes back. And he says, Give me my money. Now he's expecting a little few pennies or
so he says, oh, come come with me. I'll show you where everybody is. And he takes him to a value full of sheets, lemmas tabs and anything you can think of.
He invested in that in that is that wealth of his until two became a huge amount of wealth. So he says that's your money. The man looks at me and says, Yeah, I mean, come on. immigrated. Don't make fun of me, just give me my money. Let me go. He's like, no, this is your money. I am personally free. Take it, as you are sewers. He says all along, you know that he took it all not leaving anything behind nothing. Even 10% commission or 20%. commission. He took it all with him and I did not stop them all that for you receive
relief and rescue us gets out of this process and said that the rock rolled
and it was wide open for them. And they all walked to safety.
One side of the story brothers and sisters, do we have these that we can count on when we are
desperate?
Do we have something that we can count on?
Do we have those kinds of
incidents and those kinds of these that we can recall or we can count on them before it was handled?
I say as Nazca was was able to make you an arm those who listened and followed the vessel they listened to the auto metal.
Please move forward filling fill up fill all the Gulf of gas brothers, please make sure that you don't block the passages and make sure that you follow the instructions on
how
to set up
on the common factor between those three cases that they mentioned was that they were all sincere that they all have to uphold the law.
awareness for the field realizing the fear of the law or that awareness and realize that sense of responsibility may be one of them, honors parents, and not not even for a moment.
break this habit or this tradition of showing honor and respect for his parents.
The fear of loss origin, that sometimes may be overcome for a little bit for a short period of time, believe it or not come by, but lost the weaknesses and the desires and shortcomings it may be. But it will help the believer come back. Lots of hurdles I was in,
in Arizona for ministry.
for
believing men and women are not necessarily immune to the whispers in the temptations of Satan. They may,
they may get those whispers.
But they are a literal loss of handling.
At one point, they will snap out of whatever they may be in whatever mood she's one might catch them, and they will snap out of it and return to a loss of power to Allah and repentance.
The third man
went out of his way.
And he did not less wealth and money.
He did not have any of that
decision or tempt him.
And he didn't really have to do what he didn't.
But that's what happens
when a person has high standards,
and goes the extra mile.
So it is these kind of these brothers and sisters that we need to
compete and do it. Because of these these kind of these that we will be able to count on a volunteer, we will be able to count upon if we are stuck in any situation if we are desperate.
Or on the danger of judgment, we'll be able to recall those incidents. And that may be as the same those people that may be the cause of our salvation.
Remember that these three men knew almost
from before, sometimes How about people have to go through some hardship in order for them to turn for love. What is shocking is that despite all of the things that we see happening to other people,
despite all of the tragic tragedies that other families suffer from, despite some of those
crisis that we go through as individuals, some of us are still insisting on their old ways. Some of us are still turning away from the last panel into what does it take to turn back to a live religion? What does it take for us to wake up?
What does it take for us to humble ourselves and submit to a logical agenda?
I asked a lot. So whichever you make you listen to the best of what they listen to.
I just want to remind the brothers and sisters that
summer time is approaching.
And one of those things that we need to pay attention to is that summertime comes with challenges and dangers. However, it also comes with some opportunities. So let's pay special attention this year to our families and our children. And make sure that that we take advantage of this of this period, summertime is not a time for the parents to take a break from parenting.
I don't know if you are aware of this or not teen definitely factor of fatality during summertime increases
in the month starting from the month of May, going through the month of June, and it reaches its peak in the month of July and August.
And, you know, so we don't want our any of our children to be part of those statistics in those numbers. So let's pay more attention to our children and let's have something
constructive and ready for them to start planning
as pack animals.
Also, please do not forget to support
and pray for me.
For those who perish
recent cycles
You know, I've heard that
One of the local brothers actually lost many family members, we asked them was sort of mercy upon their souls to give patience and strength.
Also a reminder of our monthly withdrawal, through which we basically maintain the take care of expenses and the
utilities
had had dropped significantly.
Please make sure that you, if you haven't done this, make sure that you, you, you participate in this, this is a type of charity or so the further you get without even realizing. And if anyone tells me Well, I'm having some trouble. One of those ways where you can get relief is if you help because if you help us compiler will help you.
I just want to share with you
a thought form on behalf actually of the, of the volunteers, and the committees that they represent. And, and on behalf of the committee, I'd like to extend
my appreciation and asked was accounting data to bless a couple of individuals that were very instrumental in helping the committee there are the pioneers that that helped build this mission. And they have recently or within the last,
I think last week, they retire from their position as board members of the Board of Directors here at the Salk Institute of Orange County had the essence of law, who was the president and his agenda was to
retire and to give away for, for other people who just want to ask the Lord to bless their efforts and accept their deeds. And, and I asked him why he has an agenda to reward them for all the good that they did for the community and forgive them for for a shortcoming or a mistake. And we asked a loss of data to you know, bless them and bless their families except their needs and ask them
to guide even those who are taking their position and do the right thing
is Antonio Medina
graduated the program.
Today, we have two special individuals with us, both of them are about to actually join the community and they would like to take the Shahada and
declare their becoming Muslim and share that with you. So please bear with us for quite a while. So I will have both mother and brother john here and
so
Ronnie
McKenna is a sir.
Well, how did you drive and let interpret to be able to do
what I did you know, we'd have a project where we would have Sabine and Miranda who was
the one that was sort of the future with that work was a
woman who hadn't met a
woman she had Quranic
mail to be sent a visa
mean and why
later Sheree and
I let me have a nice
coffee
a fraud he had to swap the furniture
as well
as once in a while,
then held on
for quite a
while
What's that, so here in Canada
We'll have to keep an eye on the second column. I think the way that Nancy meant that men are
married. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, my God, I believe
in the last one to be happy as a man.
Woman, how do you feel co Ed?
Dear brothers and sisters
for the past week, actually, for the past two weeks,
I've been contemplating on many issues that I want to present.
And today's for
many, we have so many occasions, we have so many events. And then we were
struck this past week
with this disaster or catastrophe that took place. everybody's aware of it, they're saying that the death toll might reach 100,000 or more. Right.
And we have this
falling and deteriorating economy there is putting a lot of pressure on many families. And then on the other hand, in resume now I deal with many people who have personal issues and crisis and dilemmas.
And many of us seem to be stuck in situations and that
you know, and they're losing hope. They're falling into a state of despair.
And
many of those dilemmas and issues might have different causes.
But there is a common factor
contemplating on those issues.
And the fact that I was asked recently about, you know, parents rights, and then and people are looking forward to Mother's Day and all these issues and question coming up again, in whether they say about mothers and is it okay to celebrate, not to celebrate and all these issues, remind me of a story told to us by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and collected by another 200 a funny story.
The story involves three individuals, three men, from the generations that came before
the grace of God.
And this is a real story. It's not a metaphor.
It is not a parable. It is not an example, the prophecy was not a fiction. It is a real story that took place on this planet.
Three men in mainland Europe
set out on a journey, the promise of a lot of money in the center told his companions
during that journey,
it started getting dark.
As it started to rain,
they looked around, they saw no villages, nothing. The only place where they can find shelter was the key nearby.
So they proceeded to that trade. And they said, let's just spend the night here.
And the next day, we'll, we'll continue our journey.
As soon as they entered this key,
a huge rock or a boulder rolling down from the top of the mountain
and was lodged
at the interest of that cave, blocking it and trapping them inside.
Now you can imagine the quarter, you can imagine the despair, you can imagine the state of fear that these three men were
no cell phones.
No navigation devices, no way to detect where they are. No, no way to get any kind of rescue.
But commonly one of them suggested and said listen, we have someone that we can count on here.
Let's call upon them.
Now how many knows when we find ourselves stuck in a situation can calmly without panicking
can call me and go back to our senses and say this qualifies
addicts some some some faith some certainty.
It takes some strength.
But maybe the rest of the story will tell us more
These men were able
to keep their cool and find
a way out of this mess or out of this dilemma.
So they said, Let's call upon a mom, on the marriage of some, or one of our good deeds, the best good deed, the best deed that we did for the sake of about anything that we have, let's recall that the,
and on the marriage of that deed, call upon the wiser,
and ask the Lord to bring us a relief into rescues.
So maybe that will give us a clue as to why they were able to,
to be calm, why they were able to
resort back to that faith and connection, they have to realize they have some good deeds that they could count on.
They knew from before
many people who only know a lot, they're stuck in a situation and there's nothing they can do.
They only turn to the last panel.
These men know what law from before had a relationship with a law had a connection with what was panel data. So when they were desperate,
they were able to count on that connection in that relationship. They have no boss. And
so the first man started praying. And he said, and now each one of them is
talking about what he did.
related to a Muslim kind of attack.
He is he's actually telling you what I was gonna do something that I must have had a nose off. But he is submitted this story
right before he makes his prayer or his request from a loss of pattern pattern. So the first man said, Oh, what I have, you know, that I have to my parents, my father, my mother, they were very old. And I used to take care of him.
And it was my habit, I developed this habit out of respect and love for my parents that I would make.
Whenever he brings milk or brings any kind of meal. His parents go first, out of respect, love and devotion,
honoring his parents. So it happened that one time all along, I went too far.
And by the time I came back, they had fallen asleep.
And I hate it to break my habit, he was caught up in it might sound a little or insignificant, to many of us was a big deal. But this man, his love and devotion for his parents was real.
This habit of making his parents go first was not to get back at someone or to teach someone or to show or
but rather, it was a genuine expression of gratitude, devotion and love for his parents.
And he couldn't forgive himself for you know, making it there late.
So he held that bowl of milk in his hand, hoping that they would wake up at any moment.
And he kept doing that all night long until
dawn, he says to a loss of habitat and his daughter.
In another narration, he says that my children were beneath me crying, and the whole time he was struggling with with with this desire to have, you know, he didn't want to break his habit.
We're not talking about listening to his parents. We're not talking about helping his parents we're not talking about when they're in their desperate No, they were sleep.
And nowadays, we have parents like to go out to shelter. We have parents, I mean, I
I did not. I never thought that Muslims were capable of throwing their parents in nursing homes and not checking on them.
I never thought that I would hear stories of parents who had done everything they could for their children,
you know, have a nervous breakdown because one of their children threw them in a nursing home in less than four years without
without any.
I never thought that a Muslim.
An elderly Muslim man or woman will end up getting cremated because
The nursing home could not reach their children.
So this man says, Oh Lord, I couldn't break that habit of mine by parents woke up, I gave them the milk. And they drank first. I didn't have to go along. If I read this for your sake, then bring you some relief, get us out of this the puffs of love. It was intended immediately, the rock or the boulder shifted, made a movement, giving them a little opening, they are able to see the light, but they're not able to leave because it wasn't wide enough. It wasn't big enough. But they knew that they were on the right track. So the second man got down on his knees started praying for was power. And he started confessing. And now this case is totally different.
This man said Tommaso helicopter all along, you know that I had
a relative, so something that was related to a female that he was in love with. He loved them so much.
I love them more than anyone can love someone else.
And he said that, that I tried to have a relationship with her and she refused.
Until one day, she felt that she had had a financial crisis when she was going through some financial trouble. So she came to me asking for money.
And he is telling us how much he offered her and said, Oh, well, you know, that I offered her 120 pieces of gold

And she agreed.
And then he said, When I came
to touch her,
she said, she made a statement.
She said fear of law.
And do not do this.
That little reminder, may have snapped out of the safe.
And he says, Okay, go, I'm not going to do this. It triggers that fear of a wall,
which was there. But somehow it was overcome by that loss of that desire that he had.
modesty, chance to do.
And he walked away from her repenting for muscle power that he says in his confession, or if I did that, for your sake, relievers, if you have accepted that from me, as a good deal,
then religious or bring us a relief and get us out of the stress fields, the promise of a law abiding citizen, the rock further shifted.
And they knew that they were on the right track. So the thing that gets them to start praying to Allah subhanho wa Taala. He says all along, you know that I have hired people to do some work some contractors.
And he agreed, or they had an agreement almost that he will pay them a certain amount.
At the end of that job that they did, he paid every single one of them except one. Some scholars say that the man was angry, he wanted more. But, you know, this person, you know, basically said, Whatever we agreed upon, that's what I'm going to pay you.
So whatever the cause of that man need to go to a party without getting his wages or getting paid. Anyhow, this man leaves one hour all these people leaves without getting his paycheck without getting his money.
So instead, I took that money, I put it aside and I started investigating for him.
After a while, the man comes back. And he says, Give me my money. Please expect a few pennies or

He invested in an enormous wealth of visit till two became a huge amount of wealth. So he says that's your money.
The man looks and says yeah, I mean, come on. immigrated, don't be in front of me Just give me my money. Let me go. He's like no, this is your money. I remember sifri taken the sewers. He says all along you know that he took it all not leaving anything behind nothing, not even 10% commission or 20% Commission. He took it all with him and I did not stop them online. I did that for you receive
relief and rescue skills out of this process. So it says that the rock roll
and it was wide open for them. And they all walked to safety.
One side of the story brothers and sisters do we have

Do we have something that we can count on?
Do we have those kinds of
incidents and those kinds of these that we can recall, or we can count from before I was having the time.
