00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			There was a story of a man with a
plantation
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			and a slave,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			a long, long time ago.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			And this man was a person who
indulged in sin.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			And his, the slave was pious, and
was God fearing.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:29
			So whenever the slave would remind
the owner of his sins,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			the owner would say, I know Allah,
Allah is forgiving. Allah is
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			merciful.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			So one day this owner asked the
slave to plant the plantation with
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			wheat grain.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			So he goes and he plants it.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			And when harvest season comes, and
it grows and it sprouts
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			when the owner looks at what
sprouted, he notices that It's
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			barley, and it's not wheat.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:09
			So he told the slave, Woe to you.
Are you a fool? I told you to
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			plant wheat and you go and plant
barley.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			He said, Well, I planted barley,
but I was hoping for wheat to come
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			out.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			I planted barley, but I was hoping
for wheat to come out.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:30
			He said, Are you? Are you a fool?
How is this possible? He said, No,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			but you tell me how it's possible
for you to indulge in all these
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			sins, and then expect for
something else on the day of
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			judgment.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			And it wasn't
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			it was time for this owner to come
back to Allah. So he went to the
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			slave and he said, Well, Allah He,
you're the first one, to show me
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			the truth. Indeed, I'm not
planting the right seeds for the
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			Hydra. And because of this, I
asked Allah to forgive me and I'll
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			never I'll never indulge in sin
again.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			And then he freed the slaves and
he said,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			not to call us you're free for the
sake of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:15
			Brothers and sisters, there's a
theme in the Quran that's very
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			consistent.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			And this consistent theme, it
comes in all sections of the
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			Quran, in different forms and in
different versions. And I'll
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			mention a few of them so that we
can reflect on them in sha Allah
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:31
			Allah.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			Allah subhana wa Taala
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			he said I'm not Allah Xena am
Anwar middle sila hottie kill my
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			OCD and I will. Clinical Fajr
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			and Allah subhanaw taala said if a
man can mean and CheMin Khanna
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			forsaken lay a stone.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:00
			Allah subhana wa Taala asks the
believer who's reading the Quran,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			a question and it's tough him.
When Allah asks a question in the
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:09
			Quran He's calling us to answer as
believers. So we should stop
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:14
			whenever Allah asks us, because
it's respectful to answer a
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			question that Allah asks us.
Right? When when when someone of
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			respect comes and asks you a
question. Do you just ignore that
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:28
			person? Absolutely not. It's very
disrespectful. But when Allah asks
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			you a question,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			what should we do?
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			We close the most often we think,
and this is exactly what we need
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			to do when we come to this ayat,
Allah says
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:48
			is the believer who does righteous
deeds, like the one who commit sin
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:54
			there is no comparison. There is
no comparison. Allah gives us the
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			answer.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:01
			Just in case we are thinking that
well Allah He Yeah, you know,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			yeah, Allah you're, you're
forgiving and you're merciful and
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			you give with abundance. And the
believer can get
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			the one who is a sinner can get
the non Center and the center they
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17
			can both get 100 Allah Allah wa
sallahu Allah saying, lower your
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			stone and the look
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:26
			and but in another area, and this
is so clear, and it has the star
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			bead in it that's that's just
amazing. So till Jetha
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:35
			Allah subhanaw taala said I'm
hassy bollettino Terrassa yet
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			and Nirjala homecare Lavina M and
what I'm it'll slowly hurt so
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			we're on Maha mama metal certain
amount of karma
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:54
			and do the people who acquire sin
Allah uses acquire now I'm here to
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			say that he doesn't say I'm you
know, he says it's Tara who? From
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			the root word Jarrah.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			All right, when we when we refer
to animals of predatorial nature,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			like, you know, sea bass, dogs,
wolves,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			you know, lions and so on, we
refer to them as Joetta.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:20
			Why? Because they're predatorial.
They're very animalistic. They
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:25
			acquire their thing like with
ferocity right? When they acquire
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			the what they want to eat.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			So Allah subhanaw taala said, I'm
Hacienda Dena, Tara who say Yet
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40
			those who attain sin, almost in an
animalistic way. They don't even
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			realize what they're doing.
Animals eat and kill and devour,
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			and they don't even know what
they're doing.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:51
			Allah says, Do these people who
acquire sin like this almost like
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:56
			an animal, they think that we will
make them like the ones who
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			believe and do righteous deeds.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:05
			So well on my home, when I'm at
home, whether it be in this life,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			or in the next life, set a maniac
or moon, their judgment is
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			completely off and skewed.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			They're judging judgment is
completely often skewed. So Allah
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			is asking us to answer now, do you
think
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			there will be the same in this
life and then the next life will
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			lie if you do think it sat on my
moon,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			or judgment is wrong if this is
what we're thinking, brothers and
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			sisters.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:37
			When
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			Allah subhanho wa Taala gives a
believer
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			Allah gives a believer in this
dunya and then the next.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			And Allah replaces them not only
with what is in the heart, but
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			what is in the body. And this is
something that we notice in the
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:02
			Olia of Allah, those who are more
God fearing, we noticed that they
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			get Quran that Allah blesses them
with things in their life, that he
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			doesn't bless anyone who is a
sinner.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			If we look at the history of some
of the Taliban and the type of
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:22
			EWTN, and, and the set of asylum,
after that, we noticed that
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:29
			the ones who are closer to Allah
subhanho wa taala, were the ones
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:34
			that were more pious and God
fearing and the ones who avoided
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:40
			sin more and Allah gave them in
abundance, like Ibrahim had been
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:44
			Adam, for example, was one of the
greatest, or one of the most
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			gracious Yonny of his generation.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:54
			Ibrahim and Adam got to a point
where they would they would see
		
00:07:54 --> 00:08:00
			instances of him like on a ship,
for example. And the waves are
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			covering and almost any brain
rhythm would be completely calm
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			sitting in the cabin of the ship.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:11
			And the ship would almost turn
over. And the people would tell
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			him, what are you doing sitting
down?
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			Don't you see that we're about to
die?
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			And then he said no, and I am
confident in Allah subhanho wa
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:21
			taala.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			So they call upon Him and He says,
Yeah, Allah, you showed us your
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			strength. Now show us your mercy
and pardoning.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:37
			And they said, it was a matter of
minutes before the ocean subdued,
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			and everything was calm again.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			It was also narrated as he was
traveling, and these are these are
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:50
			real stories as he was traveling.
They said a lion came to attack
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			them. So Ibrahim had been Adam, as
everyone was scared and about to
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			run. He said, he said, Oh lion, if
you came to take something that
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			Allah decreed, then take it.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			But if you came,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			and there is nothing that Allah
decreed from us, for you, then
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:13
			leave it put its tail between its
legs, and when it turned around.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:23
			Mohammed bin wasa before one of
the battles. They saw Him invoking
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			Allah and making dua.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			And when they saw him making Dora
they would assume that that's it.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:33
			This is a victory of Flawless
victory. Because if this person
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:37
			comes then that's it. He's from
Olia Allah.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			How is it that a person gets to
this level?
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:48
			It's not through sinning. And it's
not through negligence, and it's
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:53
			not through animalistic behavior
and it's not through indulging in
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:58
			what Allah subhanaw taala
displeases, but it is constantly
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			being conscious of Robben Island
men
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			I'm constantly being conscious of
Allah subhanho wa taala. Brothers
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			and sisters
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			we all want to be
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			in this fold. We all answered the
same answer to the questions Allah
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			asked us in these verses. We know
that the one who indulges in sin
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:24
			is not and will never be the same
as the one who does not.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			What can we do this month to
change that?
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:36
			This month is the month of
forgiveness, and the month of
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			mercy and the month of trans
transformation for the believers,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:45
			especially for our younger
brothers and sisters. With Allah
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:50
			He there is nothing more pleasing
to Allah than seeing you young
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:55
			brother, sister, in the state of
Toba in the state of repentance in
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			the state of going back to Allah
subhanaw taala. There's nothing
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:03
			more pleasing to Allah than seeing
you suppress your show up,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:09
			everything in your body, all these
animalistic tendencies. And
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			everything that Allah put in this
body of yours being suppressed.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			You're at the prime of following
your show up. You're at the point
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:21
			you don't you don't have
experience in life. You didn't see
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:26
			what other people saw in the 4050
years of their life. You have
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:31
			Chawan that equate 10 times any
one of the elders whether it be
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			Sharla for money or Shaohua for
for Zina or Shaohua for for
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			anything,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:42
			but you continuously try to
suppress it, subdue it and connect
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:46
			to Allah. And you approach Allah
in this blessed month of Ramadan
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			in the form of Toba. There is
nothing more pleasing to Allah
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			than that.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:56
			All of us here are worshipping and
we come but if you want to please
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			little bit al Amin,
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			you have that in your hand young
brother or sister.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			So let us please Allah subhanho wa
Taala this month, let us make a
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			commitment
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:15
			to be from those who subdue
they're no fools, their inner
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:20
			desires, connect to Allah and
let's start this journey to become
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:25
			from those who believe in do
righteous deeds so that Allah can
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			reward us with the life and the
afterlife that He promised us in
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:32
			the Quran. We ask Allah subhanaw
taala to bless us with and through
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			the Quran. And to make us from
those who apply it's halal and
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			haram. We ask Allah to purify our
hearts and we ask Allah subhanaw
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:44
			taala to guide the young hearts of
this community to him and we ask
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:48
			Allah to preserve them and to keep
them firm on his path. We ask
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:52
			Allah to guide us and to guide our
children and to guide our spouses
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			and to preserve our faith. I mean,
you're blind I mean, Allahumma
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			salli wa sallim wa barik ala
